Song Xiwei never expected that she would see Yuan Ziche again a few months later.
However, this time, she finally understood what Yuan Ziche was plotting with her to conquer the world.
Yuan Ziche's demeanor had changed significantly since their last meeting.
Seeing that Song Xiwei was looking him up and down, Yuan Ziche stared at Song Xiwei without trying to hide his gaze.
"To meet in this vast sea of people shows that we are destined to be together."
Yuan Ziche gestured for him to join him. “Young Master Song, would you do me the honor of having this opportunity to have a meal with me? I happen to have something I’d like to discuss with you.”
Song Xiwei found this place by following the clues, and even discovered that the person behind it was Yuan Ziche, which is why she deliberately revealed her identity.
Yuan Ziche invited her to dinner, saying he had something to discuss, which probably means he's also become suspicious of her.
Song Xiwei had nothing to worry about; nothing ventured, nothing gained.
He readily agreed.
The tavern where Yuan Ziche hosted the dinner was one of the most luxurious in the area.
In these times of human suffering, it is truly remarkable that such a luxurious dining environment is available.
But Yuan Ziche gave the impression that his food, clothing, and daily necessities were still unaffected, as if no matter how chaotic the human race was, it wouldn't affect him.
"Come, Young Master Song, let me offer you a toast."
Yuan Ziche personally poured wine for Song Xiwei.
He raised his glass and invited Song Xiwei to drink with him.
However, Song Xiwei did not reach for the wine glass, but instead looked at him with a half-smile.
"Young Master Song, what do you mean? Is it that the food and wine are not to your liking?" Yuan Ziche frowned in confusion.
Song Xi shook her head slightly, "I think I won't drink it."
Song Xiwei felt that drinking would lead to trouble, and that Yuan Ziche's wine would cause problems once consumed.
Yuan Ziche's eyes flickered slightly. "Are you worried there's something wrong with my wine?"
"It's always good to be cautious when you're out and about, especially since things are so chaotic outside these days," Song Xiwei said with a half-smile.
"Since you don't trust me, why did you agree to come here?" Yuan Ziche's eyes turned cold.
“Of course I want to have a chat with Young Master Yuan. After all, I’m really curious why you’ve changed so much in just a few months.” Song Xiwei scrutinized Yuan Ziche.
Yuan Ziche smiled, put down the glass of wine, and looked at Song Xiwei calmly.
“I invited you to join me in conquering the world before, but you refused. What, are you interested now?” Yuan Ziche asked again.
Song Xi shook her head slightly, "Still not interested."
“Then we probably can’t be friends.” Yuan Ziche said with a regretful expression.
"It's as if you'd consider me a friend just because I'm willing to join. But clearly, Young Master Yuan doesn't need friends." Song Xiwei seemed to see right through Yuan Ziche.
"The souls of those innocent people who contracted the plague have all come to you, Young Master Yuan."
Song Xiwei's words made Yuan Ziche laugh, "Dealing with smart people can sometimes be a bit boring."
"You have such high prestige among humans, yet you secretly practice evil arts to harm them. What is your true purpose?" Song Xi narrowed her eyes and stared at Yuan Ziche.
Yuan Ziche laughed, "You're so smart, why don't you guess? If you guess right, maybe I'll be in a better mood and spend more time playing with you."
Song Xiwei smiled as well. "I recently heard a little story from 60,000 years ago. The story is about when the Heavenly Emperor was not yet the Heavenly Emperor. He had a twin brother. Both of them had the opportunity to become the next Heavenly Emperor. However, because the older brother wanted the position more, he used a woman to scheme against his younger brother, causing the younger brother to be demoted to the mortal realm and thus miss out on the position of Heavenly Emperor."
At this point, Song Xiwei's expression froze as she looked at Yuan Ziche. "That Heavenly Clan prince who was banished to the mortal realm, that's you, isn't it, Young Master Yuan?"
