But since he couldn't get in from outside, he started making a scene again, yelling and shouting, which was really annoying—I don't know how the male protagonist turned into such a rogue.
"I say, you actually opened up the bamboo forest so openly that the three members of the Nie family could enter openly. Is that related to that person who's making such a fuss outside?" Lou Qianzong glanced at Chu Nian and questioned.
Chu Nian smiled faintly and did not answer.
Lou Qianzong snorted and thought to himself, "Perfect. This time, when Ye Xiao comes, I'm determined to get all the information about Dongfang Bubai's past from him."
In fact, Lou Qianzong had been going out frequently during this period because he wanted to find out about Dongfang Bubai's background and investigate him thoroughly in order to determine what kind of past relationship he had with his master Jiang Bai.
Unfortunately, despite his investigation, he had found nothing. He remembered first hearing Dongfang Bubai's singing voice at the Night King's mansion, and there was also evidence to prove that this person with the compound surname Dongfang was actually surnamed Ye, and that he and Ye Xiao were likely half-brothers.
But no one could say what his name was.
Lou Qianzong was very confused about this matter. How could no one know what Dongfang Bubai's real name was? But while others might not know, Ye Xiao and Dongfang Bubai were brothers, so it was impossible for them not to know.
Actually, he didn't think much of Ye Xiao. He had thought about going directly to Ye Xiao to search his memories, but his master Jiang Bai had warned him that Ye Xiao was a very troublesome person, and they couldn't just kill someone over some trivial matters, so they had to stay away and not get close.
Lou Qianzong always obeyed his master's orders, so although he inquired about Dongfang Bubai from various sources, he did not approach Ye Xiao.
But this time Ye Xiao came to us himself, so it's not too much for him to ask a question or two, haha!
While he was busy calculating in his mind, Chu Nian had already cast a small spell and thrown the noisy Ye Xiao in again. Just as Nie Bang and the others arrived, Ye Xiao landed steadily in front of Nie Feiyan.
Nie Feiyan was initially startled, but when she recognized Ye Xiao, who was struggling to get up from the ground with a bruised and swollen face, she was immediately furious.
Because of her uncle's warning, she had been trying to distance herself from Ye Xiao and didn't want to have too much to do with him. To be honest, the initial reason for their estrangement was Ye Xiao's offense to her that night.
Even now, she sometimes has nightmares about what happened that night. As a beautiful and young woman, this kind of experience has left a deep psychological scar.
Fortunately, after she was recognized as a member of the imperial family, the emperor intended to make her empress. He gave her all the medicinal herbs and cultivation resources the royal family had, which allowed her cultivation to grow rapidly during this period. She has now surpassed Ye Xiao's level twelve and entered the Saint level.
Because she had become powerful and gained power after ascending the throne, she had stopped having nightmares for the past two days.
During this period, she distanced herself from Ye Xiao, and her previous goodwill towards him faded considerably. She thought that since she could let go and didn't care as much as before, she should simply break off all contact with Ye Xiao completely, lest she end up proving her uncle's words wrong and offending Mr. Dongfang because of him, which wouldn't be worth it!
But she never expected that Ye Xiao would appear here today.
"Ye Xiao, what is this..." Although she was speechless at this person, she was still surprised and wanted to ask the question in her heart, but she didn't know how to start: the instructions of the ancestor Nie Gang were still ringing in her ears: do not look, talk or do too much.
She looked at Mr. Dongfang, whom she had been wanting to see for some time, with a hint of confusion.
When Chu Nian saw her looking over, her gaze and expression were very cold, and her voice was also unusually cold as she said, "I came with your group of people who were expressing their gratitude."
Nie Feiyan sensed the coldness in her words and was startled. She quickly said, "Mr. Dongfang, please forgive me, it was my fault... I was negligent in my investigation and failed to find him. I will certainly hold him accountable when I return..."
"That's not the case," Chu Nian interrupted her coldly. "You and he used to be close, so why did you become estranged?"
“I…” Nie Feiyan was about to answer when Chu Nian spoke again: “I don’t care what happened between you and him. When you go back, lock him in your harem so he won’t come to bother me and make trouble for no reason.”
"Lock...lock him into my harem?" Nie Feiyan was a little confused.
Chu Nian said matter-of-factly, "Didn't you want to marry him back then? Now that you've become the Empress, do you expect me to marry into the Night King's mansion and become his princess?"
The old emperor was startled upon hearing this and quickly said, "This is not appropriate, Mr. Dongfang. It would be better to let the Night King enter the palace."
Chu Nian nodded and said, "That's why I said that after the Empress goes back, she should lock the Night King in her own harem. That way, you two can live happily ever after, and I can also have one less thing to worry about."
"Night... Night... Night..." Ye Xiao pointed at Chu Nian, wanting to call her "Nian," but he just couldn't bring himself to say the last "Nian."
Seeing this, Chu Nian smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that the Night King came to make trouble for me because he couldn't marry the Empress. Now that he knows he will be entering the palace to accompany the Empress, he is so happy that he keeps shouting 'Yay!'"
Lou Qianzong said with some puzzlement, "He doesn't seem happy to me!" Then he asked Ye Xiao, "What are you trying to say? Hurry up and say it, the 'yeah' sounds can really make people think you're cheering."
Ye Xiao finally said with a dark face, "I can't say."
Lou Qianzong: "Can't you say? Why?"
Jiang Bai, however, kept his head down meaningfully, secretly chuckling to himself.
Ye Xiao: "I don't know either. It's just that whenever I want to call his name, I can't."
Jiang Bai looked up with a knowing expression and said, "I've heard of a psychological condition where some people, when faced with extreme fear, anxiety, or intense joy, may experience symptoms such as loss of speech or even complete loss of voice."
Lou Qianzong exclaimed in surprise, "There's actually such a disease?"
Jiang Bai: Yes.
Nie Bang asked in confusion, "May I ask, Great Sage, what exactly is meant by 'mental illness'...?"
Jiang Bai explained, "It's what you often call losing your mind."
Lou Qianzong burst out laughing, teasing Ye Xiao, "I say, Night King, it seems you've been given a hard time by our Mr. Dongfang. You can't even speak properly in front of him anymore. Is it because you always fall in front of your beloved woman that you developed this problem?"
"That's not it, I just..." Before Ye Xiao could finish speaking, Jiang Bai glanced at him almost imperceptibly, and he couldn't say anything more.
Lou Qianzong earnestly advised, "Forget it, if you can't say it, then don't. You should just go back with your empress, obediently enter the palace, and wait for her to favor you!"
