Inside the Chaoxia Palace, a huge curtain, similar to that of the Lingxian Palace, floated in front of Chu Youwei. Mengdie calmly tossed a strangely shaped fruit into Chu Youwei's arms.
To be honest, she was growing to like Chu Youwei more and more, and she didn't even want to return her to Su Cheng anymore.
If she hadn't met the other disciples back then, that would have been one thing, but after learning about this matter, she did try to find out more about it from the sidelines.
In Mengdie's eyes, Chu Youwei was indeed to her liking; she was neither arrogant nor impatient, acted decisively and with moderation, and was very steady.
Most importantly, Chu Youwei is indeed very beautiful when she works, even reminiscent of Xiao Ai back in the day.
"Now you know what kind of man Su Cheng is?"
Indeed, the figure behind this curtain is not Amber from the Eastern Region battlefield, but Su Cheng from the Lingxian Palace.
"He won't fall in love with anyone~ But I'm different, I'm very fond of you~" In Mengdie's memory, she hadn't referred to herself like this for at least several hundred years. However, in order to tease the little girl in front of her, Mengdie didn't care. After all, given her status, there was nothing wrong with her referring to herself as "this king".
However, Chu Youwei's gaze never wavered, and she remained completely silent.
The whispers continued in her ear, and Mengdie knew very well that Chu Youwei was deep in thought.
"This is nothing but a performance of royal power, a game for the leader. Those around him will never have a good ending. He's a bad man, you know that very well, don't you?"
"Don't even mention you, he could even stand by and watch his beloved perish, witness the collapse of the world, love?"
Are you expecting a man who has never been loved to love you?
"From the very beginning, it was a misunderstanding. Keeping his distance was simply to avoid hurting more people; he knew this very well. But the silly child mistook it for love."
Chu Youwei said coldly, "You're very noisy, Lady Mengdie."
"Hehe~ You can see it clearly too, I never lie to children."
"Indeed, but I have serious doubts about your motives. I suspect you just want someone to sit here and do your work."
At this moment, Mengdie also pulled out a professional smile that Xiao Ai often used; that chiseled, obsequious smile made it easy to suspect that they were from the same lineage...
Chu Youwei saw everything, including Su Cheng's cold face and the murderous intent in his eyes, as well as the doting smile that instantly transformed into his expression.
Chu Youwei believed that if she were in Miaomiao's position, her master would also exude the same cold affection and utter sweet words without realizing it.
However, Chu Youwei did not think this was deception, or a mask masquerading as the Venerable One.
On the contrary, she felt that this was the master she loved.
If one truly forgets everything else because of romantic feelings, abandons the road ahead, and removes the burdens from one's shoulders, then that is true betrayal.
"Lady Mengdie, you love Master too, don't you?"
"Is this a joke or a provocation?" Mengdie was clearly surprised that Chu Youwei would dare to say such a thing to her, even though she was Su Cheng's aunt!
Having been reborn, even though this body is still young, this soul has undoubtedly undergone a thousand years of trials and tribulations.
Chu Youwei knew very well that the look in someone's eyes when they love them, like Xiao Ai's, could not be hidden.
"Isn't this what you love? If Master really handed a military order to your desk because of that vixen, I'm afraid you would have rebelled on the spot, wouldn't you?"
"Rebellion? Your words are ridiculous, don't you think?"
Chu Youwei naturally knew that Mengdie wasn't stupid, and she had no intention of explaining further, because Mengdie had already stood up...
"Hehe, perhaps, but, Lady Mengdie, you have spilled your wine."
Chu Youwei didn't dislike Mengdie, perhaps because she was her master's relative, or perhaps because Mengdie was also very cute. In any case, Chu Youwei knew that the other party had no intention of harming her.
However, what was the reason Mengdie spoke up in this way, and what exactly was Mengdie trying to express?
Is he hoping Chu Youwei will back down? Or is he jealous?
Or do they really just think Chu Youwei is an innocent little brat?
Or perhaps she wanted to keep Chu Youwei by her side to help her with chores?
Chu Youwei didn't know, but she didn't intend to ask in detail. The reason she said that Lady Mengdie was very cute was precisely because of this.
"Lord Mengdie?"
"Um?"
"Actually, all I saw was Master's helplessness."
"Then you might be blind."
Chu Youwei was amused, but that was just Mengdie's personality, and she was used to it.
She let out a long sigh, leaned back gently in her chair, and gazed at the familiar face on the curtain, speaking softly.
“It seems that everyone is telling Master what to do, but Youwei is different. Youwei only cares about what Master wants to do.”
Mengdie paused for a moment, and a faint, almost imperceptible emotion flickered in her eyes—perhaps relief, perhaps pity, or perhaps jealousy—but it was only for a fleeting instant.
Her face, which would never have yielded before the authority of judgment, now wore a cryptic expression, as if she had eaten a lemon, or as if someone had pinched her hard on the butt...
What are you saying?
Chu Youwei knew that Mengdie was pretending to be stupid. Since Mengdie had no intention of continuing the topic, she naturally wouldn't make a fool of herself.
Moreover, she has already gotten the answer she wanted.
Clearly, Mengdie also knew the so-called correct answer, but like Lord Gu Ai, she needed an identity to say many things.
She is the God-Slayer, a sharp blade under royal power, a deity to countless people, and one of the few remaining old kings in this inner city.
