"I wonder what answer Master Xiao would like to hear?"
Su Tiyue continued to ask him, "Regarding Zhou Ziqi's matter, do you want me to get involved or not?"
Xiao Heye laughed: "To be honest, selfishly speaking, I naturally hope Yue'er won't get involved in this matter. After all... I do need this money. But if you insist on saving Zhou Ziqi, then there's nothing I can do about it, right? In this world, only you can stop me..."
This statement sounded rather frivolous and irreverent, as if it were mocking her.
But Su Tiyue knew perfectly well that he was telling the truth.
Su Tiyue raised her eyes and gave him a faint look, then boldly asked, "Is the Chief Inspector going to use that money to raise a private army?"
Xiao Heye was taken aback by her sudden question. His pupils constricted, and he leaned closer to her, his voice deep and powerful: "Yue'er, you investigated me?"
"You're allowed to know everything about me, but I'm not allowed to secretly investigate you?"
Her voice was soft but not lacking in force: "Besides... the fact that the official in charge of the seal keeps a private army is not exactly a secret, is it? There are probably quite a few people in the court who know about it."
Xiao Heye said coldly, "So what if they know? Even if they know about me, they wouldn't dare to expose it. They can only keep it to themselves... Tsk, Yue'er, knowing too much about some things can actually bring about your death."
Su Tiyue asked him, "Where are your soldiers kept?"
"Gusu".
How many?
Xiao Heye paused for a moment, but did not answer the question directly.
He lowered his head and twirled the jade thumb ring on his finger, then glanced at her and uttered two words indifferently: "Guess..."
Clearly, what he meant by that was, "No comment."
Even if Su Tiyue tried her best, all she could find out about Xiao Heye was some trivial little secrets.
Xiao Heye is really good at hiding his true abilities.
His experiences, his background, his martial arts skills, and his strength...
Furthermore, how many faces does he have, and what exactly does he want to do?
Su Tiyue couldn't find even the slightest clue.
Raising a private army... Could it be that Xiao Heye is plotting a rebellion?
This was the most outrageous thing Su Tiyue could think of in the world.
"Moon, our topic seems to have strayed a bit... We were just talking about Zhou Ziqi."
Slender, pale fingers tapped lightly on the table: "Will you save... or not?"
Su Tiyue came to her senses and replied, "Since Master Xiao wants me to stay out of it, then... I'll do as you say. I won't help."
This answer surprised Xiao Heye: "I've always known that Yue'er is obedient and well-behaved. But... I never imagined that, when faced with a life-or-death decision, Yue'er would actually listen to me?"
In Xiao Heye's eyes, she has always been kind; she wants to save everyone, doesn't she?
Doesn't Su Tiyue really enjoy doing things that involve selflessness?
Otherwise, how could Mengxueji have escaped from his grasp so easily?
Tsk.
Xiao Heye was increasingly unable to understand this little gadget in front of him.
Su Tiyue stood up, took a few steps to him, reached out and cupped Xiao Heye's cheeks in her hands, looking at him sadly with her eyes downcast: "Because I know that Xiao Zhangyin must have stepped on the lives and bones of countless people to get to this position step by step."
"They say you're a demon, that you're bloodthirsty. In the past and now, Master Xiao must have had a lot of blood on his hands, right?"
Xiao Heye did not deny it: "That's right."
"In the future... Master Xiao will still kill many, many people, won't he?"
"That's right."
Xiao Heye's answer remained the same.
Without the slightest hesitation or thought.
Su Tiyue said helplessly, "The Master has treated me so well, allowing me to negotiate terms and make demands... I might be able to save one or two. But what about ten or a hundred? How can I possibly save so many people..."
Her voice sounded extremely aggrieved.
Xiao Heye raised his hand, gently pinched the finger covering his face, and said with a wicked smile, "Is it really that aggrieved for you to do it ten or a hundred times?"
“No…” Su Tiyue’s cheeks flushed slightly as she whispered, “That’s not what I meant.”
After a moment of silence, she blushed and said in a muffled voice, "The Palm Master wouldn't really want me to die in your bed, would he?"
"How could that be? I couldn't bear to..."
Even a slight frown from Su Tiyue was enough to make Xiao Heye feel extremely distressed.
How could he bear to do that?
Moreover, he never dared to use too much force in bed.
She lowered her head, her cherry-pink lips gently pecking at Xiao Heye's eyebrows, and slowly hummed an "Mmm".
Su Tiyue's lips moved down little by little until they kissed the corner of his mouth...
The delicate fragrance of jasmine lingered around his nostrils.
Xiao Heye curved his lips into a smile, then slowly closed his eyes, letting himself immerse himself in the soft, sweet embrace of tenderness.
At this very moment...
Su Tiyue stood in front of him and took the initiative to kiss him.
Xiao Heye was sitting on a pear wood chair, his hands tightly wrapped around her slender and supple waist, his head tilted slightly back.
His lips and tongue were domineering and forceful, recklessly plundering and demanding the sweetness and smoothness between her teeth.
...
actually.
It wasn't that Su Tiyue was unwilling to save Zhou Ziqi, but... she knew in her heart that in front of Xiao Heye, this cold-blooded and ruthless killer, Su Tiyue could only save a handful of people.
Talking about deals and conditions is only temporary and cannot solve the real problems.
