Chapter 77 Chapter 77 “He has always been gentle,…
"He has always been gentle, so there's no need to convince him. He was there when you mentioned this matter, and he didn't object. So there's no need for me to waste my breath on him. I just need to let him know when I go."
Li Hanshuang sensed that Li Baili was in his yard, waiting to meet him. He nonchalantly said to Blackbeard, "As for guarding him, he has not committed any crime. I will not do this."
"But you agreed!" Blackbeard said loudly with his eyes wide open.
Li Hanshuang frowned: "What I promised you is different from what you think. I only promised you that I would take Li Baili to deal with the seal and other things. I never promised to guard Li Baili."
The more Li Hanshuang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He said to Blackbeard with a cold face, "You are not allowed to call him by his name! Who are you? What is your status? What is your cultivation level?
He is not picking on me now, but what if he starts to pick on me? What if he wants to fight me? If you say that, aren't you giving him something to hold against you? He can be indifferent, but what about the demons around him?"
Li Hanshuang stared at Blackbeard and said without any hesitation: "Next time if I hear you call him like that, I won't be polite to you anymore."
"What can you do to me?" Blackbeard snorted, not taking it seriously.
Li Hanshuang raised her hand and cast a spell on his heart, without hiding anything, in a flat voice: "I can make your life worse than death."
Before he finished speaking, Blackbeard immediately felt an intense pain coming from his heart. He frowned and his face turned pale. He was unable to speak for a moment and squatted down unconsciously.
Li Hanshuang looked down at him and said calmly, "Actually, it's not that painful. If you don't believe me, you can try carrying me on your back."
Blackbeard took a breath and felt better. He stood up slowly, a little horrified, and said to Li Hanshuang, "You are resorting to lynching, which is against etiquette. If others know about this, they will not think you are right."
Li Hanshuang laughed contemptuously and said, "Then what do you think of the charge of provoking a fight without reason? I guarantee that you will be imprisoned until you die, and before you die, you will be in excruciating pain."
Blackbeard took a deep breath and shuddered. "Then what should I call him? There is no unified name now! You can call him whatever you want. Can you control me or others?"
Li Hanshuang felt Li Baili walking around in the yard and said thoughtfully, "Since the contract has been signed, we should respect him. He commands the demons, so we should call him Demon Lord."
"It's not like this is a flawless name." Blackbeard rubbed his chest, somewhat unconvinced.
Li Hanshuang smiled slightly: "At other times, wouldn't it be enough to just improvise? Do you even need me to teach you this? I'm starting to doubt whether you are unworthy of your position."
The tone of these words was gentler than usual, and even had a bit of Li Baili's resemblance.
But he doesn't smile usually. When he smiles, he's like an evil ghost, not very kind at all. In the past, he would always cause trouble to others when he smiled, and now he has caused even more trouble to others.
But when he smiled like that, it gave people the feeling that he actually still had the energy to cause trouble again.
Blackbeard didn't want to be hit repeatedly. Even if it was just physical pain, he wouldn't be able to recover quickly. He felt that if it happened again, he would have to kneel on the ground, which was too embarrassing.
Blackbeard shuddered suddenly, almost unable to control his imagination, his face turned paler, and his lips trembled: "I know."
Li Hanshuang nodded and returned to his expressionless look: "I'll leave if it's okay."
Blackbeard seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and in the end said nothing. Li Hanshuang glanced at him and walked into the yard.
Li Qinglian stood next to Blackbeard and whispered to him, "What else did you want to say just now?"
Blackbeard couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I just think that sooner or later something bad will happen to him if he continues like this."
Li Qinglian thought about it and recalled the looks on Li Baili and Li Hanshuang’s faces that he had seen before.
They have such a good relationship, so nothing serious should happen. Even if something big happens, the other side should take it over. Otherwise, wouldn't the contract be signed in vain?
Blackbeard couldn't help but warn Li Qinglian again, "In short, you must keep an eye on him and don't allow them to communicate privately. Otherwise, who knows what will happen."
Now it was Li Qinglian who hesitated to speak. He said hesitantly, "Actually, it doesn't necessarily mean that something bad will happen if they get along. Why is there any need to go through so much trouble?"
Blackbeard shook his head and looked at him with a look that said, "You are still too young." "Isn't the trouble they caused today big enough? Today alone is enough to cause so much trouble. Who knows what will happen next? We have to watch!"
"Then why do you insist on getting them together?" Li Qinglian frowned, puzzled.
Blackbeard looked at him with a look of "Are you stupid?" "Of course it's because of suspicion. They are communicating secretly and doing things that are not good for us!"
Li Qinglian didn't know what expression to show, so she could only smile. "If they communicated privately, they would definitely have a good relationship. Do you think that if they were put together, what they would do would still be true feelings? Even if they quarreled and fought, it was just a performance. What's the point of deceiving someone like you who only sees what's in front of you?"
"Then I can't trust them even more! They deceived all of us. How can I not find clues and prove to everyone that they are liars and should be dealt with?" Blackbeard widened his eyes and frowned in confusion.
"They are so strong," Li Qinglian frowned and shook his head, not agreeing at all, "Even if we find some clues, who can deal with them? Who can defeat them?"
"If you can't defeat them, you can just drive them all away!" Blackbeard clenched his fists, looked hopeful, his eyes almost shining, and laughed.
"The demons will not reject the Demon Lord. They will trust whoever can beat them. They will not listen to you," Li Qinglian sighed, feeling both amused and helpless. He shook his head and said, "As for us in Penglai, Li Hanshuang is so strong, but you still go against him?
If you get promoted, I'm afraid even fewer people will listen to you. How can you guarantee that everyone will reject them? Moreover, what will happen if they are rejected?
They are not the kind of people who would sit and wait for death, nor are they likely to die of shame. Have you forgotten that many years ago, they were nothing and were living carefree in a villa halfway up the mountain, but now, aren't they still ranked above thousands of people?
If it really happened again and all the intentions were exposed, I'm afraid Li Hanshuang wouldn't even want to maintain the current appearance. How many days do you think you can live?"
These words simply dug up everything and laid it all out in the open for everyone to see.
Blackbeard took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and had to admit that he felt that what Li Qinglian said made some sense.
Blackbeard didn't say anything, so Li Qinglian also remained silent, letting him think slowly, hoping that he could come up with a result as soon as possible and not bother others.
Blackbeard slowly opened his eyes, as if he was suddenly very tired. He said to Li Qinglian in an old and slow voice, "Now that things have come to this, let's take it one step at a time. I'm leaving first."
After saying this, he nodded, and without waiting for an answer, he turned around and slowly walked away.
Li Qinglian sighed, walked to the outside of Li Hanshuang's yard, knocked on the door and asked, "Can I come in now?"
Li Hanshuang's voice came from inside, still sounding calm, but with a hint of subtle joy: "Come in."
Li Qinglian was a little suspicious that she had heard it wrong.
After all, there was nothing for Li Hanshuang to be happy about staying in the yard alone. Even if he was happy to see Li Baili, Li Baili was in the yard next door.
Li Qinglian gently pushed open the door, and after entering, she saw Li Hanshuang sitting in the yard. There was a table and two chairs in the yard. Li Hanshuang was sitting on one of the chairs, facing the table.
There is a teapot and two small teacups on the table, both are lush green, but not entirely green. There is some milky white mixed in, like white clouds on the grassland mixed together and stirred evenly, as light as cream and as smooth as silk, giving a soft and sweet feeling.
One teacup was in front of Li Hanshuang, and the other teacup was opposite Li Hanshuang, as if there was someone sitting opposite him who had just accepted his invitation and sat down and was drinking tea.
Li Qinglian subconsciously glanced at the wall next door. The wall was still standing there intact, without any damage or traces of magic, as if nothing had happened.
If nothing really happened, Li Qinglian looked at the teacup opposite Li Hanshuang again. Who was it for? Li Qinglian would not think it was for herself.
Li Hanshuang seldom invites others to have tea with him. Moreover, before coming in, Li Hanshuang was a little angry and did not tell Li Qinglian about having tea later.
Li Hanshuang noticed Li Qinglian's suspicion and picked up the teacup in front of him. The teacup was small and looked even more delicate in the palm of his hand, like a specially shaped matcha candy. It felt sweet and not bitter at all.
Li Hanshuang blew the tea in the cup gently, smiled at Li Qinglian and said, "I poured the water in the cup opposite me for myself. The water was just boiled and it's a little hot. I want to pour it out and let it cool down first.
When I finish the cup in my hand, the other cup should be ready, so I won't have to wait for you when you drink the next cup. Go into the house and have a rest. I won't disturb you."
As Li Hanshuang spoke, he took a sip of the tea in the cup in his hand. His eyes curved a little more and he looked really happy. Not fake at all, and it was a different smile from the one he had before he came in.
The smile before entering the door was a bit dagger-hiding, but now the smile is pure happiness, without any haze, the kind that is almost contagious.
Li Qinglian was stunned for a moment and couldn't help looking at the position opposite him. He squinted his eyes and was a little suspicious: Although he couldn't see it, was Li Baili sitting there?
