"Lord Mengdie, are you drunk? That's Youwei's master."
Mengdie chuckled and said, "I drink to sober up, I won't get drunk."
But Mengdie's slightly upturned lips and dreamy eyes made her look like she was drunk.
“I didn’t ask you about your master. You’re a bit silly, but I have experience taking care of children, and I’m very patient.”
"I mean, do you know Su Cheng?"
Do you know him? What kind of person is he?
Chu Youwei thought to herself, "Could it be that Mengdie is jealous...?"
That tone is a bit dangerous!
This is so wrong!
Mengdie's Chaoxia Palace is more like a small council hall, or to put it bluntly, a meeting room. People come and go outside, but at this moment the two of them are in Mengdie's room.
Outside, officials were processing documents at their desks. Although there was a constant flow of people, the scene was orderly and quiet.
The "wall" made of files and archives fit together perfectly, resembling a bookshelf, with materials and files that Chu Youwei was not interested in neatly arranged according to categories.
On Mengdie's desk were only a few documents, and the one next to her was even soaked with alcohol, making the handwriting somewhat blurry.
Behind and beside Mengdie were two huge wine cabinets. Chu Youwei could sense that the wine cabinets were magical artifacts, but they seemed to be used only for cooling.
There was a bed next to it. If Mengdie really got drunk and needed to rest, the half-closed door would be closed.
At that time, no one will knock on the door anymore. Even if the sky falls, they will have to wait for Mengdie to wake up before reporting it.
Just like with Xun Ye back then, although Su Cheng prepared a bedroom for them in the inner city, the two of them were the type to sleep anywhere, because they were very busy with work and would rest whenever they had free time.
From this perspective, it seems that only Xiao Ai occasionally takes a nap in the Holy Martial Hall.
"Youwei dares not speak recklessly about Master's affairs."
"But Master is very gentle with Youwei, and also with his disciples..."
Mengdie interrupted Chu Youwei once again. Clearly, despite Mengdie's best efforts to explain her meaning, Chu Youwei still didn't understand what she was asking.
"I didn't ask about your master, I asked about Su Cheng. Do you really understand him?"
"When you stand beside him as his disciple, what you see is, of course, your master."
"But what if you stand further away?"
"Do you know the real Su Cheng? What kind of man is he when he takes off his title of Master? Would you like to see?"
Chu Youwei didn't speak, but tried her best to control her expression; she didn't want to look too embarrassed.
But the answer was already obvious; once the question was posed, Chu Youwei easily obtained the answer.
Clearly, her being standing here was also arranged by her master.
How could it be a simple banquet?
With the guidance of Master Gu Ai, the eldest disciple Ye Qinghan's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, making him seem like a celestial being compared to her.
With the powerful fox backing him up, the second disciple, Li Shiyao, would often sneak away from Su Cheng to see him. Li Shiyao would then give her some treats, promising a bright future for her.
The third disciple, Dongfang Jue, was being deliberately tempered by her master, as evidenced by the magical treasures bestowed upon her. Her path was clearly different from others...
As for the newly initiated fifth disciple, Miaomiao, she is still struggling in the Qi Refining stage. At this moment, she only has a little bit of magic power and can do simple manipulation of objects, but she cannot yet control a sword.
As for the mysterious fourth disciple, as far as she knew, he had received orders from his master to carry out the master's instructions.
However, Ye Qinghan had already succeeded in testing Su Cheng and Xiao Ai, becoming one of only two people besides them who knew the identity of the fourth disciple.
If this is how it is, and if this is Master's arrangement, then it seems that it is her turn?
Her turn, now a nominal disciple, hehe~
This banquet also seems to be a way of finding her a...
Clearly, Master has handed her over to Mengdie, though he pretended to be reluctant to part with her. Heh, that's definitely Master's style.
"Very good, I have the answer. Second question: Do you drink alcohol?"
"Yes, Lady Mengdie, I know a little."
"I'll give you the remaining half bottle. I'm going to take a nap. You just sit here and deal with any people who come."
Chu Youwei: ? ? ?
Just to appease them? Appease what?
As she spoke, Mengdie, who claimed she wasn't drunk, collapsed onto the bed as soon as she reached the bedside, like a robot that had suddenly lost power...
It was like...dead, completely still, but still breathing.
Speechless and thinking to herself that this guy was a bit unreliable, Chu Youwei had no choice but to sit down in Mengdie's chair.
The chair was very comfortable, and Chu Youwei glanced at the documents on the table.
"Just to get by" probably refers to these two red documents on the table.
Chu Youwei guessed that it was probably a document that Mengdie couldn't conveniently refuse or agree to, so she used her as a shield.
The first document concerns the allocation of funds to the Linlangchuan front. Someone has already provided a solution, but it lacks only Mengdie's signature and the seal of Chaoxia Palace.
The second document concerns something called "Overload," which appears to be broken and has been sent to Mirror Lake, awaiting approval for repairs.
Both documents are black-covered and pertain to military affairs; generally, they should be handled by Xiao Ai.
However, Chu Youwei didn't think much of it and decided to take a look at the documents next to her.
But just as he was about to reach for it, he heard two knocks on the half-closed door.
