Chapter 769

"……"

Li Li Piaoqing, who was washing the tea set, looked up and met Li Xizhou's shallow eyes.

"What does Your Highness mean by that?"

"Was I not clear enough?"

"Li Piaoqing did not hear very clearly."

"In one's position, one plans one's politics," Li Xizhou lowered her head and touched her fingers.

"Oh... I think Your Highness should not think too much about Ming Ming Jianzhu Ming," Li Li Piaoqing said. "Lest..."

"Lest what?"

Li Li Piaoqing smiled slightly and said nothing.

"Lest I bring humiliation upon myself?"

"Li Piaoqing would not dare."

"The little lover from half a year ago ran over to see me. Isn't that even more so?"

Li Li Piaoqing's smile stiffened: "Naturally, Li Piaoqing cannot compare to Your Highness."

Li Xizhou ignored her emphasis: "Are you thinking in your heart that if you hadn't let go yourself, I wouldn't have had a chance?"

Li Li Piaoqing lowered her gaze: "Since Li Piaoqing decided to stay in the Long region, both of us have heavy responsibilities. There is no need to be entangled by weak threads of affection."

"Seven days of threads of affection?"

"……" Li Li Piaoqing pursed her lips. "Your Highness really knows quite a lot."

"Guess who told me," Li Xizhou smiled.

"……" Li Li Piaoqing took a deep breath and turned her head away.

"If you cried, it would surely be a pitiful sight."

Li Li Piaoqing lowered her head, washed the tea set, and put away her small brocade pouch.

"Usually, no one discusses Seeing Pei Ye with me, let alone bickers. It's actually quite interesting. How long does Sect Li Li Zhangmen intend to stay in the Divine Capital?"

Li Li Piaoqing said: "Thank you for your favor, Your Highness. Li Piaoqing plans to leave the capital before the fifth month, but perhaps I can point out a good place for Your Highness."

"Oh?"

"There is a Seeing Pei Ye Fan Club in the Divine Capital. Your Highness can fill the vacancy there."

"The one Cui Cui Zhao Ye made? Sect Li Li Zhangmen should join."

"I am already the Vice President."

Li Xizhou laughed: "Tell me about Ming Ming Qitian."

"Ming Ming Jianzhu Ming is also someone Li Piaoqing sincerely admires. Half of the admiration in Seeing Pei Ye's heart, I can personally feel," Li Li Piaoqing said. "As for the other half, I think it's everything."

"What do you mean by 'everything'?"

"It just means everything. I also have everything for Ming Ming Jianzhu Ming," Li Li Piaoqing smiled.

"Hmph."

The night wind blew, and the terrace was quiet for a while.

"The night in the Divine Capital has another kind of beauty. Lying alone in a cold palace, it is suitable to look up at the sea of stars; leaning on a high building, it is suitable to view the river of lights," Li Xizhou said. "Looking at it now, it is as if the ten thousand waves of the Divine Capital are embodied here."

Li Li Piaoqing looked as instructed, was stunned for a while, and nodded slowly: "Indeed, it is

so."

She added: "Your Highness is a sincere person. Before coming, Li Piaoqing did not expect Your Highness to be so approachable."

Li Xizhou looked at the vast city that was gradually becoming brighter: "I said, I like you. Like a little bird full of vitality."

Li Li Piaoqing smiled slightly: "Your Highness's heart is like an abyss, naturally capable of holding a small green bird, but I don't know why you are so concerned about Ming Ming Jianzhu Ming."

"Sect Li Li Zhangmen naturally does not need to worry anymore."

"I never worried before either."

"Didn't have time?"

"Not at all. When we were boating and shopping back then, we often chatted about Ming Ming Jianzhu Ming. He also liked chatting with me about her."

"Since you yourself are a subject under her skirt, that is not surprising," Li Xizhou said. "His eyes were bright and shining in front of you, saying 'Miss Ming this' and 'Miss Ming that,' as if she were the most beautiful woman in the world. It is truly hard to imagine Sect Li Li Zhangmen could stand it."

"Is that so?" Li Li Piaoqing opened her eyes in surprise. "I thought he would also say that Your Highness is better looking than Ming Ming Jianzhu Ming."

"……" Li Xizhou slowly turned her head. "What?"

……

Seeing Pei Ye held the black cat and his sword, sitting on a cold stone by the night lake.

The wind blew his fluttering forehead hair and stiff face, looking like some soft silk fabrics and hair wrapped around a wooden sculpture.

"I cannot sit here anymore," he repeated this sentence for the fifth time.

The black cat nodded: "Hmm."

But neither of them moved, and the night wind passed by in wisps.

"Why didn't you want to stay just now?"

"Why didn't you want to stay just now?"

Seeing Pei Ye was silent for a moment: "Do you know, little cat, I would have rather gone back to the middle of the fan club just now."

"It is indeed safer."

"I cannot sit here anymore," Seeing Pei Ye looked at the lake surface and said again.

"Then stand up."

"I have to go up and see. Li Piaoqing is new here; I shouldn't have left her alone up there."

"Reasonable."

"……"

"Move."

"The time is about right. It is also very reasonable for me to go up and ask if it's over, and just happen to send Li Piaoqing back to the guesthouse."

The black cat ignored him.

Seeing Pei Ye looked down at the pair of green pupils, stood up, turned around, and carried his sword upstairs.

The staircase he had walked many times made familiar sounds as he stepped on it. Seeing Pei Ye walked very fast, as if afraid of being caught by his own hesitation. After a while, he returned to the top floor. Looking at the table, he saw only leftovers, and his heart tightened. Looking again, he saw two figures, one green and one yellow, on the terrace.

The woman was leaning against the railing, and the young lady was standing beside her, each holding a tea cup. When they turned to look, there were still smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be having a pleasant

conversation.

"……"

Seeing Pei Ye walked in front of them, not getting too close: "Are, are you done chatting?"

The night wind blew, and the atmosphere on the terrace seemed very peaceful. Li Xizhou glanced at him: "What's the rush? Do you have an appointment with Sect Li Li Zhangmen?"

Li Li Piaoqing smiled: "I was chatting with Your Highness about your affairs in Bowang and the Divine Capital. We were just getting to the exciting part."

"……Chatting about what? I have nothing worth chatting about."

Li Li Piaoqing said: "Your Highness mentioned the two little pigs you gave her during the New Year. They were made so clumsily and cutely... Your Highness is such a stunning and peerless figure, how could you give her two pottery pigs?"

"……"

Li Xizhou said: "It was already the New Year then, and time was quite tight. If there had been more time, perhaps you would have carved some small jade swords or something."

Seeing Pei Ye began to regret not being caught by his own hesitation.

"……I'll carve one for you too," he said vaguely, trying to brush it off.

"No need, I don't use a sword."

Li Li Piaoqing smiled while leaning on the railing: "After Your Highness finishes the Qilin Blood test, you should carefully think of a thoughtful gift. Your Highness will be very happy."

"He listens to Sect Li Li Zhangmen very much."

"Not at all, I listen to him very much."

"Since you have an appointment, I won't keep Sect Li Li Zhangmen any longer. There is still a month until the fifth month. When I am free, I will invite Sect Li Li Zhangmen into the palace again."

Li Li Piaoqing bowed: "Li Piaoqing will always be waiting respectfully."

Seeing Pei Ye stood there, and Li Xizhou glanced at him: "Where are you staying tonight?"

Seeing Pei Ye subconsciously wanted to say "anywhere," but suddenly felt a chill and said: "I'm going back to the Sword Cultivation Academy... after sending Li Piaoqing back to the guesthouse."

Li Xizhou nodded, saying warmly: "If it's too late, it's fine for you two to go back to the Cultivation Hall to rest. There are living quarters on this small building."

Li Li Piaoqing bowed again: "Thank you for your care, Your Highness. Li Piaoqing will remember it. Does Your Highness really not want any Little Leaf Velvet?"

"No need."

Seeing Pei Ye also bowed: "Thank you for your care, Your Highness."

Li Xizhou couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him and said: "Turn around."

Seeing Pei Ye turned stiffly, and Li Xizhou stepped forward to help him straighten the hem of his clothes that had been wrinkled from sitting.
