Only after he finished speaking did Su Li realize what he had said.
He met Bai Yan's slightly inquiring eyes and was suddenly speechless, unable to say the rest of the words for a while.
Bai Yan didn't notice Su Li's unusual reaction, and just smiled softly:
"So... has the Imperial Master decided what to use in exchange?"
"Your Highness, why don't you just tell me what you want?"
Su Li's tone remained calm, but the next moment Bai Yan handed the teacup to him, with only a layer of gauze separating it from his lips.
Su Li subconsciously dodged for a moment, but Bai Yan refused to let him go. He supported himself on the stone table with one hand, turned his body slightly, tilted his head and looked at him and smiled.
"Have a cup of tea. That girl just lied to you. My tea is not poisonous."
Su Li pursed her lips, but just when he was struggling.
Bai Yan listened to 717 in his mind telling him that the person who was secretly peeping had left. The smile on his face faded a little and he directly took back the teacup.
Su Li, who had already struggled for a while and was about to take it, said: "..."
Su Li raised her hand slightly, paused in the air for a moment, and then pretended to casually brush away a fallen flower on her shoulder.
Bai Yan said calmly, "I want the rosary in the hands of the Imperial Master."
"The Imperial Master is compassionate and cares about the lives of all people. He certainly wouldn't give up a life just for a string of prayer beads."
Bai Yan's eyes were full of amusement, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Besides, he's yours."
"You just want a rosary?"
There was a hint of surprise in Su Li's tone.
He thought of countless possibilities that Bai Yan would make things difficult for him, or that he would use this incident as a handle to threaten him and ask him to do something for him.
But after making such a big fuss, now he just wants a rosary.
Su Li felt a little complicated for a moment, but he couldn't tell what the feeling in his heart was that made him feel upset.
He suppressed his emotions, lowered his eyes, took off the rosary on his wrist, and held it in front of Bai Yan with both hands.
"It is a blessing to be favored by His Highness. Since His Highness likes it, I will give it to His Highness."
Bai Yan just stretched out his hand casually, waiting for him to place the rosary in his hand.
Su Li paused for a moment on those slender fingers, and personally put the rosary on his wrist. Her fingertips seemed to touch his palm unconsciously.
Bai Yan subconsciously tightened his hand and also held Su Li's hand before she could withdraw it.
He glanced at Su Li, and seeing her indifferent expression, he just curled his lips and let go, then said lightly:
"Xiao Xi, send the Imperial Master back, and take that man with you as well."
Yue Xi, who was squatting on the rockery, jumped down upon hearing this, walked up to the two of them and said excitedly:
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Leave this matter to me!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Su Li again, her expression instantly turned cold, and she spoke indifferently:
"Master Imperial Master, please come in."
Su Li kept his eyes down and said nothing. He withdrew his hand, letting it be covered by the wide sleeves. The warmth of Bai Yan's palm still remained on his fingertips, and he silently clenched it.
He stood up and looked at Bai Yan deeply.
Why do I feel reluctant to leave like this?
But I have already met Bai Yan today, so it seems I have to think things over carefully when I get back.
He always felt that his and Bai Yan's fate was probably not just entangled, and he had to figure it out clearly.
Su Li was thinking about leaving with Yue Xi.
Bai Yan's fingertips curled slightly, tapping the stone table beside him intermittently, with a faint curve at the corner of his lips.
"An Wu, from today on, you will keep an eye on Bai Jue. Don't come back unless necessary."
"But His Highness..."
An Wu knelt on one knee in front of him and hesitated for a rare moment instead of accepting the order directly.
Bai Yan also knew what he was worried about. The original owner had thirteen secret guards, but now they had all been sent out, leaving only Secret Guards Five and Seven by his side.
However, people who wanted to kill him would come in waves every now and then.
If An Wu leaves now, there won't be many people around him.
If someone attacks him at this time, it will be troublesome.
"Don't worry, Feng Jinyi will be back in two days. He will stay here for a while."
"Since Divine Doctor Feng is staying with Your Highness, I feel at ease."
An Wu felt slightly relieved, after all, it was Feng Jinyi who cured Bai Yan's leg.
It was precisely because Bai Yan had endured the pain that ordinary people could not bear that Feng Jinyi became friends with him.
Feng Jinyi's martial arts skills are not very strong, but he is full of poison. It makes people feel at ease to have him stay with Bai Yan.
An Wu responded and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Bai Yan was playing with the rosary in his hand, recalling Su Li's reaction just now, with a glimmer in his eyes.
Su Li's reaction was indeed unlike the person he remembered, but it still made him feel a little strange.
But it’s not a big deal. His ultimate goal is to get Su Li’s luck anyway.
Now that he has talked it out with 717, he doesn't need to worry too much.
[Ayan, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first? ]
Suddenly, Yan Shu's cheerful voice came to mind, and Bai Yan said:
[What news? Tell me directly.]
[The good news is that Su Li has a slightly higher favorability towards you than Bai Xinghe. The bad news is that the male protagonist of this world, as the Imperial Master, can glimpse a glimpse of the secrets of heaven.]
Yan Shu sighed softly:
[That is to say, he knows your ultimate fate, knows that you will become a tyrant, and knows that he will kill you with his own hands.]
[So we have to act quickly, kill that Bai Xinghe as soon as possible, take the throne, and then find a way to pull Su Li down from the altar... steal his luck, and then we'll run.]
717 also nodded in agreement: [I think Yan Shu is right!]
Bai Yan remained silent and did not answer.
Although this is indeed the case, and he thought so yesterday, he still felt that Su Li was a little strange.
【Ayan, perhaps we can use that Su Li first.】
Yan Shu sat on 717's lap, his hands clasped on the control panel, supporting his head. He looked at the data on the screen in front of him and sighed:
[Look at how much he likes you now. I guess it's because you're not the original owner, so your fate is different, which has changed his attitude towards you.]
Yan Shu became more and more excited as he spoke: [We can take this opportunity to trick him into doing something for you, and at the same time weaken his strength and prestige!]
[Wait until you sit on the throne and then kill him! ]
Bai Yan: [Although I also thought so, but why do you say that? It sounds a bit strange...]
[Is it weird? He has a pretty face. You really don't want to fuck him?]
