Chu Shangli did make a cute expression that any normal person would find impeccable.
However, this innocence instead aroused Lian Qianying's strong murderous intent.
Her eyes seemed to turn crimson for a moment—
"This girl is indeed a complete green tea bitch, a little slut, exactly as Huanshi described her..."
Her teeth made a grinding sound.
Gong Yi Shuiqing saw all of this—
"Well, Chikage, actually..."
"Aunt Qianying, I heard you were also very good at swordsmithing when you were young. So, I plan to borrow the sword furnace of Gongyi's family for the next two days. I wonder if you and Uncle Gongyi can provide guidance?"
"Together?" The murderous look in Lian Qianying's eyes faded a little.
"Well, I've just been thinking about this. No matter what, Uncle Gongyi is a man who doesn't like to doubt others. While I don't consider myself a bad person, if I'm given too much trust, I'm really worried that I'll do something unforgivable out of greed. Or even if I control myself and live up to Uncle Gongyi's trust, if you're not around, who knows what rumors will spread. After all, Uncle Gongyi is such an elegant and gentle man, while I'm more unbridled. It wouldn't be good if rumors spread that tarnished Uncle Gongyi's reputation."
Chu Shangli just wanted to provoke Lian Qianying's anger.
The more you provoke anger and then retreat to advance, the more likely you are to get closer to Lian Qianying.
Lian Qianying pursed her lips and looked at Chu Shangli with the eyes of an interrogator.
Chu Shangli had just kept his mental state highly concentrated so as not to give a bad visual impression to anyone.
Lian Qianying had actually begun to waver deep down in her heart, but the common sense she had been instilled in her made her swerve towards the side of so-called common sense.
No matter how you look at it, she looks like a 14 or 15-year-old girl. Is there really such a pure and innocent person?
Impossible, this is definitely fake—
Even when Lian Qianying herself was the same age and rumors were circulating about her, her heart was pure and innocent, and she even felt sad about the rumors.
But as time passed, she eventually forgot the feeling she had back then...
Those prejudices also began to take root in her heart and grew luxuriantly.
However, first of all, he brought Lian Qianying closer to him, which eventually made her feel much more comfortable.
She wanted to see what this little girl was famous for.
"You're actually going to the Sword Forging Pavilion?"
"Um."
"Are you really not coveting some treasure?"
"That's why I asked you to come with me. If I had you, Uncle Gong Yi, and the guards watching me, I could still steal the treasure successfully. Isn't that also my ability?"
Chu Shangli showed a harmless smile.
It was so harmless to humans and animals, it was like seeing the clearest stream of water.
I always feel that beneath the refraction of light, there are ferocious waves and depths that are enough to swallow a person's body whole.
However, the more this happens, the more likely it is to arouse curiosity.
Lian Qianying's heart was almost dead, but her instinct of curiosity remained stronger than she had imagined.
Even she herself didn't know why, but she nodded and agreed in the end.
There was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.
