"Yes! His meaning is clear: the only person in the world who can stop him is you."
Bei Ming Haotian nodded seriously, his sullen tone indicating his displeasure.
"Let's go back!"
Nangong Ziyan's mood was also somewhat heavy. Right now, she had no way to stop Dongfang Yifei, and she couldn't do what Dongfang Yifei asked.
"Miss Nangong." The two had just turned around when they heard Baili Jun'ao's voice. Nangong Ziyan stopped and looked back.
"Your Highness, what brings you to Ziyan?"
“Demon Lord.” Baili Jun’ao nodded to Bei Ming Haotian.
Bei Ming Haotian remained silent, because he could tell from Baili Jun'ao's eyes that he also liked Yan'er, though he couldn't remember when it started.
"I heard you're leaving tomorrow?"
"Hmm! The glass exhibition at the South China Sea Glass Palace is coming soon, I need to go back and make some preparations."
"I've heard that the glass exhibition at the South China Sea Glass Palace is very successful every year. I'd like to go see it this year. I wonder if I could have the honor of accompanying you?"
Baili Jun'ao looked at Nangong Ziyan tenderly, hoping her answer was yes.
"Unfortunately, Your Highness, Ziyan has other matters to attend to. If Your Highness wishes to visit the South China Sea Glazed Palace, you may go with Ziyan's parents."
Looking into Baili Jun'ao's gentle eyes, Nangong Ziyan's eyes darted away. She always felt that Baili Jun'ao's gaze towards her was strange.
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed quickly in Baili Jun'ao's eyes. Could it be that even this small wish could not be fulfilled?
"I see. Then I will go to the South China Sea Glass Palace to wait for Nangong Ziyan to return."
Baili Jun'ao said this in a seemingly casual manner, but he couldn't hide his disappointment.
"Your Highness is a man of exceptional talent, both reserved and stunningly beautiful, and of noble birth. Your presence at the South China Sea Glass Palace's glass exhibition will surely bring brilliance to the entire event."
Nangong Ziyan was not joking; with their participation, this year's South China Sea Glass Exhibition will definitely make the entire event even more exciting.
"Nangong Ziyan flatters me."
Was he truly a handsome man in her eyes? Baili Jun'ao felt inexplicably excited. So this was what it felt like to like someone? A casual compliment from her could make him feel as happy as if he were in heaven.
"Every piece of jewelry in the South China Sea Glass Exhibition is exquisitely crafted. I hope that Your Highness will be able to select one you like."
Nangong Ziyan was not exaggerating; the craftsmanship of making glass ornaments, passed down from the South China Sea Glass Palace, amazed her...
"I certainly can. The glass ornaments of the South China Sea Glass Palace are unique and have always been sought after by princes and nobles from all over the world. It is truly an honor for me to be able to go and broaden my horizons this time."
Once he started talking, Baili Jun'ao didn't want to stop, even though Bei Ming Haotian beside him was radiating a dangerous aura, he didn't care at all.
Bei Ming Haotian's face was cold; he really wanted to kick away all these people who were always fawning over Yan'er.
"It is an honor for the South Sea Glass Palace that Your Highness has been able to choose what you like."
Nangong Ziyan smiled, the gloom on her face vanishing completely.
Baili Jun'ao gave her a knowing look; her smile always brought joy to people.
"By the way, Miss Nangong, if you encounter Baili Yuechan anywhere, please be careful, after all, you can't see into someone's heart."
He came to see her today specifically about this matter.
Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed quickly in Nangong Ziyan's eyes.
Bei Ming Haotian looked at Baili Jun'ao with a puzzled expression, pondering Baili Jun'ao's words.
"Demon Lord, Miss Nangong, until we meet again."
Baili Jun'ao cupped his hands in greeting to them, gave Nangong Ziyan a deep look, and then turned to leave.
Watching Baili Jun'ao's retreating figure, Nangong Ziyan pondered. Why did he ask her to pay attention to Baili Yuechan? Did he know that Baili Yuechan's next plan was to deal with her? She vaguely felt that Baili Yuechan might have used Ximen Chunxue's death. But then she thought about it again, and that didn't make sense. Since she liked Haotian, why would she hold Haotian responsible for Ximen Chunxue's death? Now that Ximen Chunxue was dead, the city lord of the Western Regions wouldn't let it go easily. Perhaps Baili Yuechan was doing it on purpose, trying to use Ximen Chunxue's death to win over the Western Regions.
"What? You can't bear to part with it?"
The jealous tone in her voice made Nangong Ziyan pause for a moment.
"Yes! The butterfly landed on the flower and was so reluctant to leave, so very reluctant."
Nangong Ziyan turned her head and made a face at him. This guy has been getting jealous a lot lately. Doesn't he know how sour it is?
"Do you have to make me so angry?"
He knew she was joking, but he still felt very uncomfortable after hearing it.
"Haotian, that's just a joke. We need romance between us!"
Nangong Ziyan lowered her eyes and walked back, thinking to herself that Wuguzi would definitely not give up such a good opportunity.
"Haotian, do you think Wuguzi might take advantage of Ximen Chunxue's death to cooperate with the Western Regions to deal with you?"
"Yan'er, this is not something you should worry about! You just need to be happy every day, and I will take care of everything else."
"Haotian, the situation is getting more and more tense. Wuguzi not only wants to kill you, but more importantly, he wants the whole world. You are his biggest obstacle!"
Nangong Ziyan was very worried. Right now, she was focused on gathering the Seven Ancient Jade, so Wuguzi couldn't possibly make a move against her yet, but Haotian...
"Yan'er, you don't need to worry too much. Wuguzi is not invincible. Judging from my last encounter with him, Wuguzi is very afraid of my Divine Dragon Whip..."
