Chapter 172 Tell me, what exactly do you want from my sister?

"Wait, you haven't explained yourself yet. What's wrong with you? Are you really possessed?"

Xie Yunqi stared at Lu Chi suspiciously for a while, and Lu Chi almost couldn't help but laugh.

She glanced down quickly, noticing out of the corner of her eye that the little girl had her back to her. Making sure she couldn't see her expression, she narrowed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and whispered to Xie Yunqi, "Can you please stop asking? You're so annoying!"

As soon as Lu Chi scolded him, Xie Yunqi immediately laughed heartily: "That's more like it!"

Lu Chi: "..."

The little dumpling looked up at him in confusion, and Lu Chi immediately put on a smile.

Xie Yunqi snorted coldly. The "exorcism" was done, but the matter of Lu Chi harassing his sister with a sly grin was still not over.

Xie Yunqi scooped up the little dumpling and tossed her behind him, then questioned Lu Chi with a protective look on his face: "Tell me, what exactly do you want with my sister? Don't think I didn't see it. Who are you trying to fool with that lewd grin? It's creepy. Let me tell you, Lu Chi, don't drag my sister into our feud. If you're so capable, let's go to the mountains today and settle things with who can shoot the better prey!"

Lu Chi smiled slightly and said gently, "Fifth Prince, I have lost."

Xie Yunqi: "?"

Xie Yunqi's body stiffened, and he wondered if he had misheard: "What did you say?"

Lu Chi bowed slightly with great humility, like a gentle young man who could only write poetry and prose: "Fifth Prince, there seems to be a misunderstanding between us. I was immature before and always argued with you. To be honest, after our last parting, I missed the happy times we spent together. Seeing you today, I suddenly understand. I was too immature before, and now I understand that harmony is the most important thing. Fifth Prince, from now on, let's put aside our past grievances and be good brothers for life."

Xie Yunqi: "??????"

Xie Yunqi's little head was filled with big question marks; she had no idea what Lu Chi was doing.

Imagine someone who's been your arch-enemy since you first met, and one day suddenly smiles, apologizes, tries to make amends, says they were wrong, and promises to be best friends forever.

Who can withstand this?

For Xie Yunqi, this was no less than Consort Li saying she would never care about him again.

Xie Yunqi was bewildered for a long time before finally asking dryly, "You, you, you, tell me quietly, did your father do something wrong that made you come here... uh, that's why you're like this? Let me tell you, as long as it's not something as serious as treason, you can have General Lu go to my father and confess his crimes right now, and I'll definitely speak up for your father!"

Lu Chi: "...Uh."

Sheng Sheng was practically dying of laughter. Lu Chi's originally warm and sunny smile had been withered by Xie Yunqi, making him look like a wilted flower.

Speaking of which, the Fifth Prince and this young Master Lu really do have a brotherly feel to them. They are about the same age and both have a carefree personality. Although one is a mischievous carefree person and the other is a carefree person with the vibrant energy of a young man, they are both very handsome and look quite compatible standing together.

Seeing that Sheng Sheng was happy, Lu Chi didn't say anything more, letting Xie Yunqi preach and persuade him to change his ways.

Sheng Sheng laughed so loudly that Xie Yunqi was completely confused.

"What are you laughing at? Isn't that right?" Xie Yunqi asked Xiao Quanzi. "Xiao Quanzi, am I wrong? Doesn't it make a lot of sense?"

Xiao Quanzi, of course, would not refute: "That makes sense, that makes sense, Your Highness's words are all reasonable."

Xie Yunqi glanced at Lu Chi again, and Lu Chi scratched his head and nodded, "Uh, yes."

Xie Yunqi proudly raised his head: "Look, I've really gone to great lengths for our Yu Kingdom. Lu Chi, I'm not trying to be mean, but did you do something wrong? Otherwise, how did you end up like this? What setback did you suffer?"

Xie Yunqi stood with his hands behind his back, shaking his head like a storyteller in a teahouse.

"Pfft." Xie Yunqi's expression was so funny that she couldn't help but laugh again.

Xie Yunqi glared at him: "What's wrong? Don't you think that makes sense?"

Suppressing a laugh, Sheng Sheng quickly said in a serious tone, "That makes sense, that makes sense. What you said makes perfect sense. It makes sense even though it doesn't actually make any sense, but you think it makes sense, I think it makes sense, and he thinks it makes sense, so it becomes reasonable."

"Huh?" Xie Yunqi was confused and didn't understand at first. "What do you mean?"

Lu Chi silently curled the corners of his mouth: "That's exactly what I mean. What you said makes so much sense. Everyone has been convinced by your profound reasoning."

He nodded repeatedly, as if pounding garlic: "Mmm-hmm-hmm."

"Really? Am I that outstanding?" Xie Yunqi smiled shyly, feigning modesty, "No, no."

Xie Yunqi's behavior was so silly that Sheng Sheng couldn't help but laugh. Just then, Sheng Sheng caught a glimpse of Li Manyan and was afraid that if she laughed again, Xie Yunqi would catch her and ask if she was right. So she quickly ran towards Li Manyan.

"Goodbye, Fifth Brother! Go find your pretty sister to play with now!"

Lu Chi stretched out his hand: "Hey—"

I haven't introduced myself yet.

Seeing that the little dumpling had already run into a group of rich young ladies, Lu Chi could only sigh regretfully and couldn't help but glare resentfully at the culprit.

Xie Yunqi: "?"

Lu Chi kicked a small pebble at his feet, his eyes clearly showing his resentment.

"What's wrong? You just said you wanted to be brothers with me, what's with the expression you're making now that Sheng Sheng's gone?"

Xie Yunqi muttered a few words, then suddenly realized something. She grabbed Lu Chi by the collar and said angrily, "You, Lu Chi, you're not trying to steal my sister, are you! No wonder you suddenly changed like a different person; you were trying to put on a gentle act in front of my sister. Now that Sheng Sheng is gone, you've shown your true colors, haven't you!"

Lu Chi pursed his lips: "What are you thinking? How old is the princess? How old are we?"

"What does age matter? You're just jealous that I have a sister while you don't. I heard you were complaining the other day that General Lu didn't give you a sister! You, Lu Chi, you don't have a sister yourself, so you want to steal someone else's. Put away your dirty schemes. Let me tell you, Sheng Sheng is my sister, mine!"

Lu Chi: "..."

He wasted his time trying to explain to Xie Yunqi.

As Xie Yunqi spoke, her face got closer and closer to Lu Chi's, almost touching his.

Xiao Quanzi hesitated, waving his hands in the air for a long time, but in the end he didn't dare to speak. He awkwardly lowered his hands, took two steps back, and turned his head away with a helpless expression.

It's unbearable to watch, how could His Highness be so... sigh!
