There was a hint of loneliness and disappointment in Wu Qingchen's expression.
Then, without waiting for Shen Qiqi to ask, he explained first: "To be honest, young lady, the reason why I asked you to order the dishes just now was actually because I had some doubts about your identity, because I suspected that you were not from the evil demon clan."
Shen Qiqi was so frank that she didn't know how to respond.
She took a moment to react, then asked in confusion, "Uh, really? Why would Madam have such suspicions?"
Could it be that the city lord’s wife noticed something?
After all, the city lord's wife has a profound cultivation level. According to Xie Beiming, the other party's cultivation level has at least reached the perfect stage of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
This is the case when the other party does not suppress his cultivation to disguise himself.
If the other party disguises his cultivation level, then his true cultivation level will be quite terrifying.
In front of such a powerful person, she really couldn't be sure whether the other party would see through the disguise of her and Xie Beiming.
Although the man in front of him was a human cultivator, and his personality seemed very gentle, he was not bloodthirsty at all.
But she is the city lord's wife after all.
Lying next to his pillow is the great monster Jiuying, who once caused a bloody storm. Who knows if he and his wife will be of one mind and work together to fight against the human race.
Therefore, before the situation becomes clear, she and Xie Beiming can only be evil demons, they must be evil demons.
But now the City Lord's wife said she doubted she was really a demon...
Shen Qiqi inevitably felt a little uneasy.
She secretly glanced at Xie Beiming who was sitting next to her, and saw that Mr. Xie had a calm expression and looked more stable than Mount Tai.
Shen Qiqi: “…”
How calm you are.
It felt like she was the only one feeling nervous here.
Shen Qiqi couldn't help but complain in her heart. She pretended to lift her hair, put her elbow on Xie Beiming's shoulder, and asked quietly, "Didn't you hear what the City Lord's wife said?"
Xie Beiming: "I heard it. He said he suspected you were not from the evil demon clan."
Shen Qiqi: "...I heard everything, so why aren't you nervous at all?"
Xie Beiming: "He said he suspected you, not us, why are you so nervous?"
Shen Qiqi: “…”
Yes.
What the city lord's wife just said was that she suspected that she was not a member of the evil demon clan, and she obviously did not take Xie Beiming into account.
But before entering Jiuyou City, she and Xie Beiming both took magic pills in order to conceal their spiritual power. After entering the city, the two of them acted together, and so far they can be said to be inseparable.
If their identities were really exposed, they would be exposed together. There is no reason why one would be suspected while the other would be safe and sound.
...So where did the suspicion just now raised by the City Lord's wife come from?
Shen Qiqi couldn't help but ponder in her heart.
But she didn't have to think about it for too long, because the city lord's wife, with all her emotions written on her face, took the initiative to help her solve the problem.
Then Wu Qingchen said, "To be honest, young lady, I had no intention of going to the bookstore today. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is a lantern exhibition on the banks of the Qingshui River. If you see a lantern you like, you can buy it and release it to pray for blessings. I was planning to go there."
"But as I was walking, I somehow lost my way. When I realized I was going the wrong way, I was already standing in front of the bookstore."
Then he listened to a show called "The Sweet Daily Life of the City Lord's Wife and His Little Wife".
Then he angrily pointed out that the book was a fabricated and insulting book. The storyteller who wrote the book was so angry that he wanted to kill him.
Then, when he was on the verge of life and death, a girl suddenly rushed out, stood in front of him, and killed the storyteller with a knife.
And there was an aura about that girl that was particularly familiar to him.
"It wasn't until the girl rushed out and blocked my way that I finally understood. The reason I had unknowingly strayed from my original route was probably some kind of divine providence, deliberately leading me to her side."
Wu Qingchen spoke softly.
The man's tone was gentle, his eyes were soft, and he had such an enchanting look that even the most unromantic girl would find it difficult to control her feelings when stared at by him.
However, Shen Qiqi couldn't think of anything!
Before Wu Qingchen finished speaking, Shen Qiqi's scalp exploded, her eyes instantly widened, and the nerves in her body suddenly tensed up. Her first reaction was no way!!!
Because generally speaking, "God's arrangement" is often followed by "love at first sight, heaven-given marriage" and so on.
...So the city lord's wife is interested in her, right?
...But he is already a married man!
And along with this thought came Shen Qiqi's actions.
She almost subconsciously turned her head to look at Xie Beiming, her expression showing anxiety and tension, as if she wanted to dig open her chest and take out her heart to prove her innocence.
Xie Beiming, who remained calm even under the pressure of a mountain, finally showed a rare expression. A chill flashed in his deep eyes, and he stared at Wu Qingchen without blinking.
From the very beginning, Wu Qingchen's focus was on Shen Qiqi, and he didn't pay much attention to Xie Beiming.
It was not until this moment when he felt the unignorable chill from Xie Beiming that he turned his attention to look at Xie Beiming.
After taking a quick look at Xie Beiming, Wu Qingchen's eyes were filled with amazement at first, and then he seemed to think of something, and the amazement turned into regret. After these two emotions were gone, he noticed that the condition of the two children in front of him seemed to be wrong.
Everything was fine, so why was one so nervous and the other suddenly cold towards him?
Did he just say something wrong?
Or did I do something to upset these two kids?
Wu Qingchen was puzzled and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
This question was asked to Shen Qiqi.
Although Xie Beiming is very outstanding, Wu Qingchen still prefers to talk to Shen Qiqi compared to Xie Beiming.
Unfortunately, his preference did not bring Shen Qiqi any surprise, but only brought her shock.
Shen Qiqi barely hesitated and grabbed Xie Beiming's hand without a second thought.
"It's okay, it's okay. My fiancé has one of his old illnesses!"
After Shen Qiqi finished speaking, she did not forget to move closer to Xie Beiming, her face full of worry and heartache.
Then he placed their interlocked hands on the table for Wu Qingchen to see.
The meaning is very clear: You see, I have a fiancé, so don’t love me, it will be fruitless!
