Outside Helian Yi's tent, before Peng Silang and Huo Yanyu arrived, he had already blown out the oil lamp and stood there motionless like a stone statue. After a while, the curtain of his tent was opened, and two little girls slipped in.
"Shh!" Helian Yi took out a luminous pearl, placed it in front of him, with his back to Peng Silang and Huo Yanyu outside the tent.
"Oh, Helian Yi, you noticed too?" Gu Xin said in a very low voice.
"Don't speak yet, come here!" Helian Yi said softly, then put away the luminous pearl and moved to the other side.
Helian Yi's location was the best place to eavesdrop; the three of them squatted down and listened to the two people talking outside.
At first, Gu Si listened attentively, but she soon noticed that Prince Goz seemed to come and check on her third sister from time to time.
The tent was pitch black, with only a faint light from outside, so she wasn't entirely sure.
Outside the tent, Peng Silang and Huo Yanyu stood awkwardly facing each other.
"Why are you near Goz's tent?" Huo Yanyu spoke first, breaking the eerie silence.
"Huh? Is this Gorz's side?" Peng Silang was taken aback, only then realizing that this was indeed Gorz's encampment.
"Pfft!" Huo Yanyu laughed, and the laugh made her feel much more relaxed. "How could you be so silly?"
"You're a simpleton, and I'm a fool, aren't we a perfect match?" Peng Silang scratched his head, his sweet talk flowing smoothly.
Gu Xin and Gu Si, who were eavesdropping, were stunned. They never knew that Brother Peng had this side to him!
"Pah!" Huo Yanyu spat. "How come you're getting more and more muddle-headed!"
“Brother Yuan told me that you can’t be shy in front of a girl you like,” Peng Silang answered honestly.
"I think he's quite concerned about his image in front of Xin Xin!" Huo Yanyu said.
"Really? Then it's probably because Xin Xin is a bit silly, and you're a little smarter, which is why I need to be shameless," Peng Silang said seriously.
Gu Xin: "?"
Peng Silang and Huo Hanhan, you two are finished! You talked badly about me and Yuanyuan behind my back. Wait till we get back, we'll see how we deal with you.
"Hey, what do you want to say so late at night?" Huo Yanyu saw a patrol of Goz soldiers passing by and got straight to the point.
"That's right, that's right, you still haven't given me a response that day. Do you want to marry me?" Peng Silang was no longer nervous and asked directly.
"Tch, not sincere at all." Huo Yanyu was a little unhappy. Thinking of Cai Xiaolian's conversation with Gu Hui and the others, she frowned and said, "Then let me ask you, what will you do when your mother wants to find you a partner after you go back to Kuncheng?"
"I don't care about her! As long as you're willing, I'll have my eldest brother write to Grandfather tomorrow, asking him to propose marriage to Grandpa Huo. I'll also have my father find an acquaintance in Jiangnan to act as matchmaker and speak to your parents. Once we arrive in Kuncheng, this matter can be settled. But the prerequisite is that you have to be willing. Only if you're willing will I dare to do this. Because if you don't like me and are unwilling, doing this will harm you. My grandfather and Grandpa Huo will argue about this, but the matter will definitely be settled. If they settle it and you're unwilling, wouldn't I be forcing you? So, Huo Yanyu, I want to ask you if you're willing." Peng Silang said sincerely.
"What if your mother arranges a marriage for you with a girl from Linzhou Prefecture? The kind of fiery and fierce beauty you like?" Huo Yanyu asked again.
