"I'm sure I'm not lying to you, let's go in first."
Ye Qiu chuckled; seeing Ying'er suddenly made him feel much better.
Before entering the imperial palace, Ye Qiu suddenly turned around, glanced at the place where Zhao Churan was hiding, and said indifferently, "Bring Wang Xiaoyu back as soon as possible."
Zhao Churan, hidden in the shadows, watched Ye Qiu and the other two enter the imperial palace, her beautiful eyes filled with undisguised envy and grievance.
He clearly wanted to help Ye Qiu return to his peak, but he ended up doing something foolish and even causing someone's death.
Zhao Churan felt very remorseful and distressed.
...
Inside the main hall of the imperial palace, Ye Qiu sat down with Yu Jianjia and Ying'er.
Chu Xiao had tea served and was surprised to see Jianjia there, but he didn't ask any questions and silently stood guard at the door.
"Ying'er, did Master send you this time?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Don't give me that. Don't think I've forgotten. Apologize first."
Ying'er crossed her arms and glared at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "I do have many shortcomings and have neglected you a lot. I will definitely make it up to you in the future."
"Is this an apology?" Ying'er sneered.
"A promise is more useful than an apology, isn't it?"
"That makes some sense, so I'll trust you this once."
"Now it's your turn to answer my question." Ye Qiu looked at Ying'er: "Have you been at the gate to the demon realm all this time?"
“Well, these are some sensitive topics. I think we should talk about them somewhere else,” Ying’er said.
"Okay." Ye Qiu stood up.
Then, Ye Qiu called Chu Xiao in: "Chu Xiao, go arrange a place for Yu Jianjia to stay, and show her around the Imperial Palace. There are some places you can't go to."
"yes."
"Ying'er, come with me."
"Hmm." Ying'er nodded with a smile, then turned to Chu Xiao and said, "Brother Chu, you really have no backbone. You actually become this bad guy's lackey. I despise you."
"Sigh, I'm forced to by life," Chu Xiao chuckled awkwardly.
"Hmph, you can be my little follower for life."
Ying'er made a face, then followed Ye Qiu and quickly disappeared from Yu Jianjia's sight.
Yu Jianjia was extremely curious about Ying'er: "Brother Chu, who is this Ying'er? I feel like she's very casual with Emperor Wu."
“She is our old hall master’s personal disciple, and she and the Martial Emperor are considered to be from the same sect and have a good relationship,” Chu Xiao said.
Are they boyfriend and girlfriend?
“Miss Yu, don’t ask questions you shouldn’t ask. There are some rules I need to explain to you in the Imperial Palace.”
...
On the other side, Ye Qiu led Ying'er into the study.
As soon as the door closed, Ying'er threw herself into Ye Qiu's arms and hugged his neck: "You naughty guy, I actually missed you a lot."
"Ying'er, you..."
"Don't push me." Ying'er glared at her bright eyes: "If you dare to push me away, I won't say anything to you, and I'll make you anxious to death."
Ye Qiu smiled wryly to himself, forcing a straight face: "Don't make trouble, or I'll beat you up."
"You can beat me up, I like it best when you beat me up. Now, will you lift me up and beat me up?"
Ying'er turned around, her back to Ye Qiu, and pressed herself close to him.
Ye Qiu immediately snapped to attention: "You brat, don't play with fire."
"I'll play."
"You've gone astray."
"Second Senior Sister taught well."
"I understand."
Ye Qiu suddenly realized.
Second Senior Sister Yu Miaowei is indeed exceptionally talented in certain aspects.
"Ye Qiu, you used to be so mean, you bullied me so badly, have you turned into a pure white lotus now?" Ying'er asked.
"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business."
"You're not doing anything important right now, what's the point of talking to you? I'm not talking to you." Ying'er plopped down in Ye Qiu's chair, pouting, looking very unhappy.
Ye Qiu was both amused and exasperated: "Are you in such a hurry?"
I'm ignoring you.
Ying'er turned her head away.
Ye Qiu bent down slightly, reached out and pinched Ying'er's cheek, and whispered, "Be a good girl and have a good chat. You'll have everything you want in the future."
"You're lying again." Ying'er hugged Ye Qiu's neck again. "You always bully me. Before Master passed away, he told you to take good care of me, and you promised him. Now that I'm finally back, all you do is lie to me and don't do anything practical."
What concrete actions do you want?
"have no idea."
"How about this?" Ye Qiu suddenly cupped Ying'er's pretty face and kissed her hard.
Ying'er was stunned by the kiss and didn't react in time.
"Is this enough?" Ye Qiu asked.
Ying'er shook her head violently: "Not enough, not enough, it has to be like this..."
Without a word, Ying'er pressed her red lips to Ye Qiu's lips.
The intimate touch made their hearts race.
Then, Ying'er closed her eyes.
Ye Qiu was also incredibly moved at this moment.
At the same time, Ye Qiu was also torn between his conscience and his mind, with Zhao Churan's image constantly appearing in his mind.
After struggling for several seconds, Ye Qiu took two steps back.
"What are you doing?" Ying'er asked, puzzled and somewhat disappointed.
Ye Qiu touched his lips before saying, "There are imperial guards outside, and Chu Xiao could come at any time. We can't act recklessly; it would have a bad influence."
“That’s true.” Ying’er tilted her head and said without hesitation, “Then let’s go to your place, how about that?”
