Liu Lieyu, however, was not buying it. "I don't care if he comes all the time, I want results!"
I swallowed hard; it seemed like Qianxi was in for a rough time.
"Xin'er, wait for me."
I quickly grabbed Liu Lieyu and said in a coquettish tone, "You just got back, where are you going again?"
"I'm going to find Qianxi, I'll be right back." Liu Lieyu looked unusually kind and gentle when he faced me.
"No, I want you to stay with me." I grabbed Liu Lieyu's arm and wouldn't let go.
"Then will you come with me?"
I lowered my head and thought for a while, then raised my face and smiled, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Actually, what I want is to be with Liu Lieyu. Otherwise, if Liu Lieyu really does something to Qianxi, I can try to persuade him to stop.
The analyst just helped me, so I can't just hide and watch the show, can I?
Liu Lieyu had no choice but to take me to the small bamboo building opposite my palace.
I glanced at the bamboo house, which seemed out of place amidst the ruins. In contrast to the jade and precious buildings, the bamboo house became a unique sight.
Qianxi hasn't returned yet, has he? You's place isn't exactly close to me, but it's not far either.
Liu Lieyu pulled me directly into Qianxi's bamboo house. The first floor was still filled with all sorts of small animals. Seeing that Qianxi was not on the first floor, Liu Lieyu went straight to the second floor. He searched around but couldn't find any sound from Qianxi.
I glanced up at Liu Lieyu's expression. His brows were furrowing deeper and deeper. He wasn't afraid of getting wrinkles. Oh, I forgot, he's immortal, so he naturally won't age.
Qianxi's room was empty. Qianxi didn't like interacting with people, so Liu Lieyu hadn't arranged for anyone to be there for her. Now that Qianxi wasn't there, Liu Lieyu didn't even know who to ask.
"How about we wait here?" I tugged at Liu Lieyu's sleeve.
Upon hearing my voice, Liu Lieyu's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and when he looked down at me, his features softened considerably. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Liu Lieyu doesn't like small animals, so we sat on the second floor waiting for Qianxi to come back.
I casually flipped through the ancient books here, silently praying that Qianxi would return soon.
I hadn't turned more than a few pages when Liu Lieyu suddenly stood up and said to me, "Qianxi is back."
"Huh?" I hadn't heard anything yet, but after a while, the familiar sound of bells rang out.
Listening to the sound of bells, Qianxi was walking with light steps, as if she were humming something.
Liu Lieyu and I both looked towards the entrance on the second floor. Soon after, Qian Xichao's extraordinary figure appeared in our sight. Her red clothes were like fire, and she was like a ripe peach on a branch. Her fair face was flushed, and her affectionate peach blossom eyes were smiling.
This beautiful feeling vanished instantly when Qianxi saw Liu Lieyu.
Qianxi stammered, "Donghuang, you, you, why are you here?" The smile on her face disappeared, perhaps sensing that Liu Lieyu's intentions were not good, and she kept a distance from Liu Lieyu, refusing to take another step.
"A brief analysis: Why has the Green Silk Curse remained unsolved?"
"I'm working on it, but it's a bit complicated and will take some time." Qianxi stretched out a slender finger, her expression extremely tense.
How much longer?
Qianxi lowered his head, counted on his fingers, then looked up again, "Two or three months."
"What?"
"Emm... a month?"
A scene of utter loneliness.
"Half a month?"
Liu Lieyu remained silent, lost in thought.
"Then..." Qianxi seemed to be driven to desperation, and suddenly sat down on the ground, "I have no other choice but to ask Donghuang to find someone more capable."
I kept a close eye on Liu Lieyu's expression, ready to step in and put out the fire at any moment.
"Okay, half a month."
