Yue Chen was instantly furious, and immediately felt an urge to draw his sword.
"It's nothing, I just think you're really good-looking." Hua Cai hesitated for a while, then decided that it wouldn't be good to anger Yue Chen at this moment.
If this kid were to attack her now, should she go all out or not?
I'm in a fit of anger right now. If I go easy on him, I'll be letting down my pent-up anger. But if I hit him too hard, Wei Tuo definitely won't stand idly by. It would be bad if things ended up unpleasant for both sides.
Flowers are picked amidst melancholy.
If Wei Tuo knew what she was thinking at this moment, he would definitely say decisively, "Hit me as you please. Our Third Prince, who weighs over a hundred pounds, is now in your hands. As long as you leave us a breath, you can do whatever you want with him. Hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love. What a great opportunity to cultivate our relationship. How could someone as perceptive as me be so clueless as to act as a torchbearer?"
"Is that so—" Yue Chen gritted his teeth as he looked at Hua Cai's frustrated expression as she said those words. What did she mean by that? He was the third prince of Yue Kingdom. Putting everything else aside, his face alone could sweep across four kingdoms. Who was she trying to impress with that expression?
Yue Chen sneered and took a step to the side. "Weber, please make way."
Wei Tuo, who was holding a cup of tea and contemplating whether he should disappear, heard this and quickly grabbed his half-finished teacup, shifted his position, and moved to the seat next to him.
This kid is finally going to make a move. Hey, a torch it is, we'll talk about integrity later. Old Ling can't come back; he's waiting for me to bring back firsthand information.
"What's so great about me? Have you even looked at me properly?" Yue Chen's eyes flashed with anger. "Take a good look at me and see what kind of person I really am!"
Wei Tuo was originally the closest to Hua Cai. Yue Chen, looking furious, plopped down on the stool. Before Hua Cai could react, he reached out and covered both sides of her cheeks, turning her face towards him and staring intently into her eyes.
“You haven’t even looked at me carefully, so why bother with those perfunctory words?”
Wei Tuo stared dumbfounded at the two people face to face in front of him. The tea he had just drunk was not swallowed in time and flowed out of his open mouth, dripping down his beard and onto his clothes, but he did not notice it at all.
My goodness, when did his nephew become so awesome? After three years, this kid finally couldn't resist making a move.
Wei Tuo, who was quite old, almost burst into tears. He felt that his hesitation for a second before leaving was absolutely worthwhile.
Hua Cai stared blankly at the magnified face before her, those beautiful eyes that seemed to be flashing with flames, and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
She was frightened by Yue Chen's demeanor.
I've known this person for three years. In my memory, he always appears suddenly, and the next second he'll unleash a killing move. After a fight, if I'm not dead, Wei Tuo will "appear in time" to call for someone to heal me. If Yue Chen escapes, he'll immediately change into clean clothes and appear in front of everyone as if nothing happened. He's always looking for the next opportunity to kill me.
Hua Cai had a feeling that this person really wanted to kill her, but because of "various reasons," she was not dead even though she was seriously injured. She had always wondered why he was so determined to kill her. She had even confirmed with the system that Jin Baozhu and Yue Chen had absolutely no grudges against each other, and were even completely unrelated. Where did such a big grudge come from?
Moreover, given their current crucial cooperation, he had no reason to kill her under any circumstances.
"You're daydreaming again." Hua Cai was lost in thought when she heard a voice burning with rage. She felt a sharp pain on her face as she was pinched hard.
"Ouch—what are you doing?" Hua Cai winced in pain, slapped away the two hands that were still pinching her face, and glared at Yue Chen while rubbing her face repeatedly.
Yue Chen ignored Hua Cai's angry glare and snorted coldly: "You see, even if I'm the only one in your line of sight, you still won't look at me carefully."
"I...I saw it." Hua Cai looked puzzled. "Your new outfit looks nice. Is it new?"
brush--
As the longsword was drawn, Hua Cai only felt a flash of cold light before her eyes. Her body instinctively leaned back, and the longsword, carrying a chilling aura, grazed her face, causing a layer of cold sweat to break out on her forehead.
"Hey, are you crazy?" Hua Cai nimbly stepped back, her toes touching the stone bench, and she flew backward like a falling leaf, landing steadily in the garden.
Yue Chen was not surprised at all when his sword missed its mark. He withdrew his sword, the tip of which twirled in the air. In a flash, he arrived in the garden and relentlessly attacked Hua Cai with his sword in hand.
Seeing that there seemed to be no more gossip to see, Wei Tuo put down his teacup, rubbed his hands together, and went to find Ling Heguang to share the latest gossip.
As for the two people still fighting here—let them fight, anyway, Jin Yatou won't kill them, these are all sweet pains.
"Hey, don't push your luck!" Hua Cai was annoyed that Yue Chen was showing no mercy and trying to drive her to the brink of despair with every move. "You're really something else. Do I have a grudge against you? I was just praising you."
With a slight tilt of her waist, she dodged a sword aimed directly at her eyes. With a turn of her body, Hua Cai flipped over in mid-air, retreating from the range of Yue Chen's sword light.
"Could it be because I stayed at your Bright Moon Pavilion? But that was arranged by Weber. How was I supposed to know it was your resort bathhouse? Besides, I was the one being watched while bathing. Let's be reasonable. This matter is all in the past now." Seeing Yue Chen about to step forward, Hua Cai quickly retreated.
"What grudge do I have against you? Tell me!" Hua Cai looked at Yue Chen seriously. "Actually, I think this is definitely a miscarriage of justice. You must have misunderstood me in some way. How about we—wait, what are you doing? If you hit me again, I really won't be polite."
With a series of loud crashes, Hua Cai stormed off in a huff. Several guards emerged from their hiding places, craned their necks to look, and only after seeing that Hua Cai had disappeared did they unsurprisedly carry away their unconscious master.
"Host, the male and female leads have appeared." Hua Cai returned to Mingyue Pavilion in a rage, and the system suddenly appeared.
Hua Cai paused, then asked, "You're finally out. Where are you?"
"Leave the country."
Just two simple words.
“Leaving the country…” Hua Cai murmured the two familiar yet unfamiliar words, a cold smile appearing on her face.
We've left the country and politics; we'll meet again soon.
