On the official road leading to the capital of Ziyuan, two carriages sped slowly along.
Inside the first carriage, Ding Bu'er and the Divine Calculator stared at each other, wide-eyed.
After a while, Ding Bu'er felt really uncomfortable being stared at, and said, "Hey, why are you staring at me like that? It's really uncomfortable."
The fortune teller shook his head: "I just find it strange that someone like you, whose cultivation and appearance are neither outstanding..."
How come you've been able to stay by Shen Zhao's side for so long without anything happening to you? Perhaps you possess some extraordinary secret.
Upon hearing this, Ding Bu'er immediately became displeased: "What do you mean? Are you trying to make trouble for me because you think I'm lucky?"
The fortune teller smiled and said, "Master, please don't misunderstand. I'm just very curious as to why your destiny is so unique, and I can't deduce even the slightest thing about it."
"Come on, don't try to fool me with your cheap tricks," Ding Bu'er said with a look of disgust. "When I started using this trick, you were probably still playing in the mud in the fields."
Young people should be more realistic and stop thinking about getting something for nothing.
The fortune teller said, "Hehe, it seems you are quite an interesting person. For some reason, I have a strange sense of familiarity with you."
"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. This awkward conversation makes me feel embarrassed even if you're not."
"What familiarity? I, Master Ding, have no homosexual tendencies. If you want to sell your ass, go to the short-sleeved brothel."
Ding Bu'er left a sentence and immediately stuck his head out of the car window.
The fortune teller shrugged and didn't press further, but he became even more curious about Ding Bu'er.
Inside another carriage, Shen Zhao stared intently at the intelligence he had just acquired.
Thirty thousand troops from the Southern Regions have already marched to the border of the Great Xia, operating under the name of Chu Sheng.
Now, the people of Xia are eagerly awaiting the news that Chu Sheng has led the royal army back to fight.
It wasn't that they had any goodwill towards Chu Sheng, but Chu Yang's order to sell his daughter was just too shocking and personified, so they had no choice but to support Chu Sheng.
After reading the intelligence in his hand, Shen Zhao fell into deep thought.
First, resolve the issue of the Ziyuan Empire swiftly, then proceed to the border of the Great Xia Kingdom in the shortest possible time to take over command and annihilate the Xia Kingdom's forces in one fell swoop.
This was Shen Zhao's pre-arranged plan. The entire fourteen-nation coalition was actually only going to fight one battle, which was the war against the Great Xia Kingdom.
Once the Great Xia army breaks through this route, the situation in the Eastern Region can be basically stabilized.
Sitting opposite Shen Zhao, Yu Xiyan stared intently at the man.
She hadn't seen this man up close by herself in a long time.
Looking back on her past life, the closest she ever got to this man seemed to be the scene when they bowed to each other at their wedding.
But at that time, I loathed and hated Shen Zhao.
It is precisely because of this perception that a life that should be happy and fulfilling becomes so fragmented that there is no possibility of repair.
Seeing Shen Zhao up close now, I realize how charming he is when he's serious.
"We're almost there, aren't you going to rest for a bit?"
Noticing that Yu Xiyan's gaze remained fixed on him, Shen Zhao replied without looking up.
Yu Xiyan shook her head: "I'm not tired. You just keep busy. I'll stay here with you like this."
Shen Zhao closed the book, glanced at the scenery outside the car window, and casually asked, "What exactly do you want?"
Yu Xiyan was stunned.
"I... I just want to stay with you like this, a little longer is enough, please don't send me away, okay?"
Her tone of voice was very gentle, completely different from her previous life when she would put on airs at the drop of a hat; she was like a little kitten.
Is this interesting?
Shen Zhao glanced back at her.
Yu Xiyan lowered her head and gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth.
"You should know that there's no possibility between us. I've made everything clear."
You don't need to dwell on the past anymore. Isn't it better to just live your own life well?
Yu Xiyan: "I've thought about forgetting you completely and starting my life anew, but..."
She hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and looked up, saying, "I really can't do it, Shen Zhao, I really can't do it."
"Why bother?" Shen Zhao replied calmly. "I've already let go, so why can't you? Let bygones be bygones, and stop dwelling on it."
Yu Xiyan shook her head: "If you have truly let go, then please allow us to get to know each other again?"
Shen Zhao sneered: "What's the point of this fancy trick?"
Yu Xiyan, we've all been through this, there's no point in playing these pointless games.
People should face reality and stop living in their own fantasies, okay?
Besides, I already have a wife, and more than one. With your personality, can you accept that I have so many women at the same time?
Save your breath, that's impossible. Stop fooling yourself.
He thought that these words would bring Yu Xiyan back to her senses.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiyan said, "I've thought about it. If you really still want me and are willing to forgive me..."
I won't care about so much. I'm willing to accept the woman beside you. Really, I... I won't... again.
"Enough, stop lying to yourself, okay?"
Shen Zhao pressed his eye sockets and glanced at the scenery outside the window. The carriage had already entered the capital city.
"You're just having a passing fancy now. Once the excitement wears off, you'll naturally find it hard to accept my current living situation..."
"No, I'll try to fit in with you all, really, Shen Zhao, just this once, please..."
"What about Ling Yuxuan?"
