297th Break: Tension 

"What? What are they doing?" Bai Jing asked Lin Ze when he didn't hear Lin Ze continue what he is saying. He turned and looked at Qiu Yi and Qin Shuyi who are walking in front of them and are side by side. 

Because Qin Shuyi is still talking to Qiu Yi and doesn't want for him to be heard by Lin Ze and Bai Jing, he is leaning down to Qiu Yi. But, this sight has some impact on the lookers, namely Lin Ze and Bai Jing. 

Bai Jing's mouth fell open in shock when he understood what Lin Ze is trying to say. "You don't mean…?!" he muttered under his breath as he turned back to look at Lin Ze. "They couldn't be… this lord Qin, he has… towards his servant?!" he exclaimed, though in a low voice since he is afraid to be heard by Qin Shuyi who is also a practitioner (but of martial arts). 

Lin Ze didn't answer, since he is also uncertain. "I don't know…" he spoke. "I never heard of him being a cut-sleeve." He said.
