Hearing Linghu Lan's laughter, Li Ye felt all the gloom in his heart vanish.
His eyes lit up, and he laughed, "So you were just teasing me on purpose."
"What? You can't be teased?" Linghu Lan raised the corners of her lips slightly, looking at Li Ye on the gate tower with a half-smile.
Looking at her proud expression, Li Ye felt a warmth in his heart and just wanted to indulge her and let her be as unrestrained as she wanted.
He laughed and said, "If others can't do it, you can."
Linghu Lan wanted to lower her head and laugh again. This laughter contained the joy of reuniting with Mo Tang, but even more so the joy that Mo Tang had returned as a young man.
Their eyes met in mid-air, and the air seemed to scatter and flee as if startled by the electric current in their gazes.
Qi Wuhe's face was ashen, his sharp gaze sweeping back and forth over Linghu Lan.
The most favored ninth prince of the time has been entangled with a country girl.
The reason he stopped everyone from attacking Linghu Lan wasn't because he was truly soft-hearted, but because he had already realized that Linghu Lan wasn't a ghost, but a real living person who might know some ghost talisman techniques, which was why Master Wang was so frightened that he thought he had seen a ghost.
Most importantly, the mirror in her arms was strange, seemingly designed to ward off Taoist priests like them, reminding him that he seemed to have heard of such a mirror somewhere before.
For these two reasons, Qi Wuhe felt that he might not be able to defeat Linghu Lan.
Just then, Li Ye gave the order, so he went along with it and refused to take any more action.
If we win, that's fine. When the Ninth Prince says something, we can just release the person and gain his favor.
If they lose, the reputation of Baiyun Temple will be ruined in his hands, and he can forget about ever getting a job in the royal family again. If the Ninth Prince returns to the capital and says anything, Baiyun Temple will probably become a huge joke.
With this in mind, Qi Wuhe was determined not to let today's fight break out.
Noticing Linghu Lan's gaze, Qi Wuhe met her eyes without flinching.
Linghu Lanxia smiled, extended her finger, and made a shooting gesture.
biubiu
Qi Wuhe was dumbfounded. It was simply outrageous. He flicked his sleeves and turned around.
Li Ye noticed the atmosphere between the two and looked at Qi Wuhe, saying, "Master Qi, how could you be so rude to this young lady, staring at her blankly? This is truly contrary to the teachings of the sages. Quickly apologize to this Miss Lan."
Qi Wuhe: "..."
He stared at Li Ye in astonishment. As expected of a prince who had been pampered since childhood. Fortunately, he would not become emperor. If he had, he would definitely have been an emperor who ruined the country because of his beauty!
He glanced at Linghu Lan, who was smiling at him, waiting for him to apologize.
His disciples and followers were just as astonished as he was. That noble person wanted his abbot to apologize to this ghost? How could that be?
Qi Wuhe was stunned for a moment. Although he felt it was absurd, he still said helplessly, "I was rude just now. Please forgive me, Miss Lan."
The Taoist priests: "..."
They must have had hearing and vision problems all day.
Linghu Lan smiled and waved her hand. "It's alright, I'm very generous!"
Qi Wuhe gave a wry smile. How magnanimous of him to not make anyone apologize.
Li Ye saw Linghu Lan smile and was very satisfied. He thought about jumping downstairs, but then felt that it was too noisy and crowded downstairs, far less comfortable than being on the gate tower. So he asked, "Aren't you tired talking with your head tilted back like that? Why don't you come up here? The air is nice and the breeze is cool. Let's look at the stars together."
Linghu Lan was about to burst out laughing.
Mo Tang gazes at the stars.
Hmm, first time seeing this!
"Okay!" she replied with a smile.
