Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Could it be that someone was stabbed right...
Is it possible that after being stabbed through, someone would not resent the person who stabbed him?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Not to mention that according to rumors, the leader of Penglai was once humiliated by the demon king using extremely despicable means.
To be fair, if they were in the shoes of the Penglai clan leader, and had such a shameful past with the Demon King, they would not be able to face the Demon King calmly.
Just when everyone thought that the Penglai Sect Leader was about to lose his patience and was about to draw his sword to fight the Demon King to the death, the situation suddenly changed.
Li Hanshuang lowered his eyes, took a step to the side, made way, and said to Li Baihe politely, "Please come in."
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. The Penglai Sect Master was worthy of being the Penglai Sect Master as he could endure such a good opportunity for revenge when his enemy was right in front of him!
Since the sect leader had no objection, the others naturally had no objection either. They made way to the side and all looked at Li Baili, waiting for him to enter Penglai.
Li Baili and the demon he brought with him embarked on this road and entered the depths of Penglai in front of everyone.
Li Hanshuang walked in front to lead the way. After all, with his status as the sect leader, it would not be appropriate for him to walk anywhere else.
The others followed behind, firstly to ensure safety and secondly as a matter of etiquette. Li Baili took a look and said nothing.
They had to admit that everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they found that Li Baili had walked the whole way without saying anything, only to find that they were so nervous that they were sweating profusely.
Li Hanshuang led Li Baili to the conference room, sat at the top, and asked Li Baili to sit next to him.
The others sat in other seats in turn. Those who had no seats stood at the back. If the back was full, they stood outside.
There were so many people, and it looked quite shocking.
However, when Li Baili thought that they all together could not beat one of her hands, she withdrew her gaze and lost interest.
As for the demon he brought with him to apologize, he stood behind him with a humble look on his face, as if he had come here to be a servant and had no objections at all.
The servants who had been arranged in advance came over with hot tea, ready to pour tea for everyone present one by one.
After all, no one knows how long this meeting will last.
Li Hanshuang stared at Li Baili, and suddenly raised his hand to stop the servant beside him. He smiled at Li Baili not far away and said sarcastically: "Since it is the Demon King who wrote to ask for a meeting, it is the Demon King who should pour me tea."
He paused for a moment, raised his empty teacup, and gestured to Li Baili, as if provoking her, and said with a half-smile, "I wonder if I will have the honor to drink the tea you personally poured today?"
Everyone was stunned, then gasped, staring in amazement, and quietly exchanged glances below.
The leader of Penglai was crazy! In such a big occasion with so many people, he actually wanted the demon king to personally pour tea for him?
It's not that he is not worthy of this, nor that he is not qualified to do this, but, isn't this a bit too disrespectful to the demon king? Asking a king to serve tea and water!
What does the Penglai Sect Master think? !
Will the Demon King really not feel humiliated and immediately stand up and kill us all?
Should we run away now? Is there still a chance to run away? Can we survive if we run away now?
Master Penglai, Master Penglai, you are powerful and you are not afraid of the demon king. We are no match for you. When you provoke us, can you consider us a little? Be careful, we will fight you!
Li Qinglian's expression looked rather strange.
From the perspective of revenge, it is normal for the Penglai Sect Leader to ask the Demon King to pour tea for him.
From a lover's perspective, it is normal for the Penglai Sect Leader to ask the Demon King to pour tea for him.
That weird vibe between them popped up again!
Are they really enemies rather than lovers? If you let your enemy pour tea for you, won’t you be afraid that it’s poisoned? But if you let your lover pour tea for you, you’ll probably think it’s honey, right?
Are they really not flirting because others don't know the details? If they hold hands and kiss while pouring tea, how can I stop them?
He looked around and found that everyone was very nervous. They thought that the Penglai Sect Master was provoking the Demon King. He couldn't help but comfort himself in his heart: Maybe I misunderstood them? Maybe they were the enemy?
The servant who poured the tea didn't know what to do. He stood stiffly beside the table with a helpless smile on his face that almost made him cry.
Li Baili stood up, took the teapot from the servant, smiled at Li Hanshuang, took the cup from his hand, and said slowly, "Then I'll do it."
While pouring tea, Li Baili whispered in Li Hanshuang's ear in a voice that almost everyone could hear, with a flirtatious and proud tone, and even a little ambiguous and chaotic: "Just think of it as paying back for the mistakes I made to you when I was young and ignorant."
The faces of everyone around suddenly changed again and again, as if an overturned color palette, it was extremely spectacular.
What did the Demon Lord mean by that? He said it in that tone. Did they do something shameful in the past?
No, if it was really a scandal, the Demon Lord probably wouldn't say it out loud. Since he said it out loud, it must be directed at the Penglai Sect Leader. Could the humiliation back then be that kind of humiliation?
What a shocking thing! If we hear such a thing, we will not be silenced later, right? If you two want to attack each other, can you find a place where there is no one? The fire in the city gate will affect the fish in the pond!
We didn't hear it on purpose, can you just pretend we didn't hear anything? Just pretend nothing happened, okay? Please don't hold us accountable!
Li Qinglian's expression was more unusually interesting than anyone else's.
They are having an affair!!!
This was the only sentence left in Li Qinglian's mind, echoing over and over again, so much so that he couldn't even think of anything else for the time being.
Li Hanshuang tightly grasped the cup in his hand, refusing to let go. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Li Baili who was standing next to him. He smiled and said through gritted teeth, "I can't remember what happened back then. I wonder which debt you want to repay?"
Li Hanshuang said in an almost sinister and resentful tone: "You owe me a lot."
Everyone shuddered when they heard those words. They felt that Li Hanshuang was like a vengeful ghost crawling out from the ground, full of sinister and eerie aura. It was indeed he was seeking revenge.
Even Li Qinglian became dazed.
If they were lovers, they would probably not be willing to speak in that tone, right?
Then he couldn't help thinking: Don't blame others for being suspicious, these words really sound a bit like the question that an unmarried pregnant girl would ask to her heartless lover after being abandoned.
When Li Qinglian realized what he was thinking, he shuddered violently.
Li Baili also held the teacup and slowly poured seven-tenths of tea into it. Then she lifted the spout of the teapot, took a step back, and handed the teapot to the stiff servant next to her.
The servant trembled, bowed, and ran away.
Li Hanshuang held the teacup and looked straight at Li Baili. He had no intention of looking away, nor did he have any intention of drinking the tea. It was as if he asked Li Baili to pour him tea simply to humiliate her, not because he really wanted to drink the tea.
Li Baili smiled at Li Hanshuang. It was a smile that made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. It was not mixed with any negative emotions. She said politely and respectfully, "The tea is ready. I will go back and sit down."
The demon who was still standing behind Li Baili's seat blinked his eyes, looked at Li Baili expectantly, and gently pulled Li Baili's chair back to ensure that when Li Baili came over, she could sit down immediately.
The demon seemed to be waiting for Li Baili to sit over.
Li Baili was about to walk towards her seat when she finished speaking. Li Hanshuang stared at his back with a blank expression on her face. She coldly reminded him, "You haven't answered my question yet."
Li Baili paused, slowly turned her head and glanced at him.
Everyone hurriedly prayed in their hearts.
Don't fight, don't fight! Fight outside! Fight alone! Don't fight us! Don't beat us in! We don't want to be turned into meat paste!
Li Qinglian's eyes moved back and forth between Li Hanshuang and Li Baili, full of suspicion.
What is their relationship? To say they are enemies is a little too ambiguous, and to say they are lovers is a little too ruthless. Is it a love-hate relationship? This word is really appropriate!
The scene became increasingly quiet; one could almost hear the sound of the wind blowing the leaves outside the window.
Li Baili turned around, lowered her eyes, and said to Li Hanshuang, as if she didn't want to talk about it anymore: "You can't remember it anymore? I can't remember it either."
Li Hanshuang sneered and drank a sip of tea without hesitation to moisten his throat and calm his temper. Then he said sarcastically, "You are such a forgetful person! How come you didn't forget to send the demon away today?"
He was clearly saying that Li Baili was deliberately pretending not to remember.
Although this may be true, Li Baili said she didn't remember it. If we continue to force her with words like this, there won't be any good results.
Everyone became nervous again.
Li Baili smiled slightly, still looking calm as when she came in, as if she had no emotions at all, and said gently, "I should have forgotten it, but I just wanted to make peace. After all, fighting is not what I want, so I came anyway."
Li Hanshuang's face looked very ugly. She said nothing, as if she couldn't hear anything, or as if she didn't hear anything at all. She was very irritable and impatient, and looked like she refused to accept reality.
Li Baili paused for a moment, and seeing that he didn't say anything, as if she had expected it, she smiled and said, "Could it be that peace is my vision alone?"
Li Baili shook her head, looking disappointed: "If that's the case, I'll go home immediately."
