I fear that all the information the skeleton receives is misleading and deceptive.
After passing through the central courtyard, he stopped in front of a large, intricately carved gate, and the burly man's face unconsciously showed a hint of respect.
"Please come in."
"Thanks."
Lu Yulan pushed open the door and entered. The faint scent of eucalyptus swept away the gloom that had been building up for a week, and even brought a hint of joy to her. Without even looking in the mirror, Lu Yulan could see a smile on her face.
This place is really... interesting. Could it be that this person, like her, came from the modern world and is a perfumer?
He has such a thorough understanding of flowers and plants.
The boy sat swaying on an old-fashioned black rattan chair made of ebony and entwined with floral branches.
Hearing the door open, he didn't turn around, but simply opened his eyes calmly.
The boy's skin was fair and white, like fake jade, and it did not show any color under the light.
This house is full of life, but his place, which is right in the sunlight, is like a dead place.
"You're here?"
Her tone was soft and gentle. She got up from the wicker chair, walked to the French windows, and turned her back to the light, looking at Lu Yuanhong and Lu Yulan.
"I heard you want to do business with me?"
Lu Yuanhong stepped in front of Lu Yulan, looking at her calmly, and said, "Yes."
The young man chuckled softly, a hint of mockery in his expression, as if he were amused by Lu Yuanhong's actions, as if he had witnessed something utterly comical.
But he restrained his laughter.
"You, a general who is seriously injured and expelled from the empire, what right do you have to do business with me? Even your father wouldn't dare say that to me."
"Because I'm standing here now."
He didn't believe that the other party was only trying to mock him today, unless they had something they wanted from each other.
Although the pressure emanating from the other party was heavy, it was also ethereal and unreliable, unlike the spiritual power emanating from a young boy.
If the two of them were to fight, he might not necessarily lose. The boy, despite being provoked like that, did not get angry.
I simply drew a circle on the transparent glass and watched it gradually be absorbed by the water mist and disappear.
"Such arrogance."
“I know what you want. That spring water is for saving him, isn’t it?”
The young man appeared beside Lu Yulan in an instant. "Little girl, have you thought this through? If he recovers and then abandons you, would you still want him to recover?"
"What's the meaning?"
Lu Yulan was puzzled. In her mind, she probably only regarded the spring water as a kind of healing potion, or perhaps something more advanced.
Does it also have the effect of causing amnesia?
But abandonment? Isn't that overthinking it? To be honest, she never felt that not being with Lu Yuanhong could be considered abandonment. Romantic love is a common thing, and saving someone is more important than that.
Lu Yulan's mind raced quickly, and the two people beside her listened just as fast; one's face darkened, while the other smiled.
"You are much more carefree than your mother."
"Thank you for the compliment."
How could she be so carefree and not cry on the spot? She's an adult, she has pride, she would never cry.
"I can give you that spring water, provided he can retrieve it?"
He could take it out and use it for himself; if he could use that spring water now, he wouldn't need to negotiate with them.
Perhaps, the world simply can no longer tolerate them.
But this is clearly their world.
The boy's gloomy aura suddenly intensified, then quickly vanished, like an optical illusion.
"I agree."
Lu Yulan looked into Lu Yuanhong's eyes, a smile playing on her lips, "I believe him!"
