Imperial Garden Appointment
In the imperial study.
Chou Doufu gathered Gu Mutian, the old man from the frontier, Ouyang Mingri, Feng Yan, and Nong Yue together to discuss the encirclement and suppression of the Shenyue Sect.
"Why didn't Lengyue come?" asked Chou Doufu.
"Miss Lengyue, it's better not to get involved in this matter." Nong Yue glanced at Mingri and said with a smile.
"Well, that's a good idea," said Chou Doufu. "Recently, the number of followers of the Divine Moon Cult has suddenly increased in Sifang City. What are your thoughts on this?"
Gu Mutian said: "Ban Tianyue is trying to expand the power of the Shenyue Sect."
The old man from the frontier said, "The expansion of the Divine Moon Cult actually proves that the power of the Half-Sky Moon Cult is declining. That's why they have been recruiting followers and expanding their strength in recent days."
"That's right," Ouyang Mingri said. "Ban Tianyue was injured by the combined sword and knife a few days ago. I believe that he is now under the guise of expanding his power, but in fact he is in seclusion to cultivate the indestructible body of the Golden Buddha. Because only when he has cultivated the indestructible body of the Golden Buddha can he be sure to start a rebellion and seize Sifang City."
"How should we respond now? What do you think?" asked Chou Doufu.
Nong Yue thought for a moment and said, "We will separate a small team from our elite troops to specifically wipe out Ban Tianyue's followers in Sifang City, and use this to anger Ban Tianyue."
"Mr. Nong Yue means..." Chou Doufu seemed to understand.
Young Master Nong Yue smiled slightly and said, "The City Lord is extremely intelligent. There is no need for Nong Yue to say more."
Stinky Tofu smiled and nodded.
Mingri and Nong Yue looked at each other and smiled, the old man from the border and Gumutian looked at each other and smiled.
Sima Changfeng lowered his head with a complicated expression. Shangguan Yan glanced at Sima Changfeng and also lowered her head with a complicated expression.
It was already noon when Leng Yue woke up. She got up lazily and sat in front of the mirror, combing her hair.
My whole body felt weak and my head ached. I guess I drank too much yesterday. How much did I drink yesterday? How did I get back? Leng Yue didn't remember.
But she still clearly remembered the young master's kiss last night. Thinking of the kiss last night, Leng Yue couldn't help but blush. She looked down and saw the blue and white porcelain necklace given by the young master. She smiled sweetly and kissed him with a "bo" sound.
"Miss Lengyue, it's time to go to the dining hall for lunch." said a guard.
"Thank you, I'll be there right away." Leng Yue said.
When Leng Yue walked into the restaurant, everyone was already seated, and a seat was reserved for Leng Yue next to Ming Ri.
Usually Leng Yue sits on Ming Ri's right, but today he ran to Nong Yue's left, pushed Nong Yue's arm, and motioned him to move.
Mingri and Nong Yue had no choice but to move to the right, and Leng Yue sat next to Nong Yue. Gu Mutian, the old man from the frontier, and Ling Xue all looked at Leng Yue in confusion, and Leng Yue lowered her head guiltily. Everyone looked at Mingri, who also lowered his head. Then everyone looked at Nong Yue, who smiled and shook her head.
"Uh, let's eat!" Gumutian broke the silence.
"Well, let's eat!" the old man from the border also said.
Ling Xue also felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she lowered her head and concentrated on eating.
Leng Yue stole a glance at Ouyang Mingri and saw that he had also turned to look at her. She was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head. But she felt that lowering her head would make her look too guilty, so she pretended to be enthusiastic and picked up some food for Nong Yue. Nong Yue looked at Leng Yue with a smile, but did not say anything.
Mingri smiled embarrassedly and lowered his head to eat.
After the meal, everyone dispersed, leaving Mingri, Nong Yue, and Leng Yue alone.
Nong Yue asked, "Miss Leng Yue, are you feeling uncomfortable eating so little?"
Mingri also turned his head and looked at Leng Yue.
Leng Yue smiled embarrassedly: "Maybe I drank too much last night and don't feel hungry."
Nong Yue smiled and said, "You were so drunk last night that you vomited everything you ate. I'm afraid your stomach is upset and you can't eat. I see that you don't look well either. Why don't you let Sai Hua Tuo take a look at you?"
"Ah, no need. I got up last night and ate something." Leng Yue said quickly. Thinking of the water and food prepared for her tomorrow, Leng Yue felt warm in her heart.
"By the way, how did I get back yesterday?" Leng Yue asked.
"Don't you remember? It was Master Nong Yue who carried you back." Mingri said.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Nong Yue. I'm sorry for being rude last night." Leng Yue said embarrassedly.
"Miss Leng Yue, there's no need to thank me. I'm truly honored." Nong Yue smiled slyly and said, "Miss, would you please honor me with your presence and chat in the back garden tonight?"
Mingri looked at Nong Yue in surprise. Nong Yue glanced at Mingri and smiled without saying anything.
Leng Yue was also surprised: "You and me?"
"That's right." Nong Yue said with a smile.
Leng Yue thought about it and said, "Okay, Leng Yue will definitely be on time."
"Sai Huatuo, you won't mind, right?" Nong Yue asked with a smile.
Mingri raised an eyebrow: "Of course I don't mind."
Nong Yue smiled widely: "Haha, that's great. Miss Leng, see you tonight in the Imperial Garden."
After saying that, he walked away, fanning himself.
When Leng Yue saw Nong Yue leaving, she also quickened her pace and wanted to leave.
"Why are you hiding from me?" Mingri called her.
Leng Yue bowed to Mingri and said, "Young Master, you are worrying too much." After that, he turned and left.
At the moment Leng Yue turned around, Ming Ri caught a glimpse of the necklace on Leng Yue's neck. Looking at Leng Yue's receding back, Ming Ri smiled and shook his head.
After dinner, Leng Yue went to the Imperial Garden early. She was not waiting for Master Nong Yue, but she didn't want to go back to the villa too early, so as not to meet Ming Ri every day, which would be very embarrassing.
Leng Yue is a modern-day macho woman and a psychologist. Logically, she should have strong mental skills, so why is she even more shy than a young girl? Ahem, macho women generally have low emotional intelligence. Especially for a psychologist like Leng Yue, who eats nothing but runs around, helping others sort out their relationship problems is easy, but when it comes to her own situation, as the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused; everyone has to figure it out step by step, no rush.
Besides, she and Mingri weren't officially dating, so what was that kiss last night really? Was it a spur-of-the-moment impulse? Impulse is the devil, oh dear! Besides, Mingri was sober now and might not remember what happened last night. With Mingri's tsundere personality, why would Leng Yue bother herself with such embarrassment?
Just as I was struggling with this, I suddenly heard a "hehe" laugh coming from behind me.
Leng Yue turned around and said, "You are really slow."
Nong Yue chuckled and said, "I was here a long time ago, but you were so engrossed in your thoughts that you didn't notice."
Nong Yue handed a white jade hairpin to Leng Yue and said with a smile, "Miss Leng Yue can't bear to pick flowers, so would you accept this jade flower?"
Leng Yue narrowed her eyes and said, "Sir, what's going on? If you have something to say, just say it."
Young Master Nong Yue smiled slyly: "Nong Yue just wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery with his beautiful lady, what's wrong with that?"
"Ha!" Leng Yue grinned: "Could it be that you like me?"
"No? Huh?" Nong Yue said, and handed the jade hairpin to Leng Yue again.
Leng Yue took the hairpin and played with it, then shook her head and said, "What am I doing? Can't I tell whether you like me or not?"
Nong Yue smiled and said, "I'm afraid the girl has someone else in her heart and is ignoring Nong Yue's sincerity?"
Leng Yue pretended to bring the hairpin close to her nose and sniffed it as if it were a real flower. She smiled and said, "Thinking back to when you gave the poisoned red fragrant flower to Shangguan Yan, I don't think you had any feelings for her. Similarly, giving me flowers doesn't mean you have any feelings for me."
"Oh?" Young Master Nong Yue said, fanning himself. "The young lady really knows everything about all of us. She even knows the poison Nong Yue once put on the fragrant flowers and even the color of the flowers?"
Leng Yue sighed softly, "It's a pity that I only know the past, not the future. Although I know about your affairs, my knowledge only stopped when Shangguan Yan and Ouyang Ming were seriously injured and dying. If I could truly know the past and the future, I would have eliminated Ban Tianyue long ago, and you wouldn't be suffering and in such danger."
"Young lady, why are you so determined to get rid of Bantianyue? Do you have a grudge against Bantianyue?" Nong Yue asked.
Leng Yue shook her head and said, "It's just the opposite. Ban Tianyue did me a favor and saved my life. But Ban Tianyue saved me, and I want to harm him. Tell me, am I a bad person?"
Nong Yue shook his head.
Leng Yue smiled bitterly and said, "The Jianghu is really messy."
"Messy? This is the first time Nong Yue has heard someone use this word to describe the martial arts world. Messy, yes. The martial arts world is indeed messy with all the right and wrong, disturbances, swords and sabers, love and hate." Nong Yue said.
After hearing what Nong Yue said, Leng Yue couldn't help but think of what had happened in the past few months. She felt physically and mentally exhausted and couldn't help but sigh.
"Leng Yue, why are you sighing?" Nong Yue asked.
Leng Yue turned around and said with a smile: "Huh? Don't call me girl anymore?"
Nong Yue smiled embarrassedly.
Leng Yue laughed heartily: "I'm just teasing you! Leng Yue is so honored to be Mr. Nong Yue's friend. You can just call me Leng Yue."
"Then you can just call me Nong Yue." Nong Yue said.
"There's the word 'Yue' in our names, so how about we become sworn brothers?" Leng Yue asked with a smile.
"Okay," Nong Yue said, "Leng Yue, I wonder how old you are?"
"I'm twenty-six, how about you?" Leng Yue asked.
"Nong Yue is twenty-three years old." Nong Yue bowed and said, "Sister, please accept my humble respect."
"Ah? You're so young? Uh..." Leng Yue was struggling, but suddenly her eyes lit up and she asked, "How much older is your brother than you?"
"My brother Sima Chengfeng is two years older than Nong Yue and one year younger than my sister," said Nong Yue.
This time Leng Yue completely collapsed, because the man with the ramen hair turned out to be of his younger brother's generation.
"I, Leng Yuebai, have a baby face, but I'm actually the oldest among the young people! Oh my God, I can't keep calm..." Leng Yue muttered, covering his face.
"What's the decision?"
"Nothing," Leng Yue said, "By the way, what exactly did you ask me out for today? Tell me the truth."
"I asked my sister out today because..." Nong Yue paused and said, "By the way, you and I are sworn sisters, and you are not allowed to tell anyone about it. This is a secret between you and me, okay?"
"No problem." Leng Yue agreed readily.
"Actually, I asked you out today just to ask you, why didn't you say those words in the tomb that day? Is there something you are hiding from Sai Hua Tuo that you don't want him to know?" Nong Yue asked.
"Those words?" Leng Yue looked puzzled: "What are those words?"
"Sister, don't you remember what you said to Nong Yue when you were drunk last night?" Nong Yue said.
Leng Yue shook her head.
Nong Yue explained, "When my sister was drunk last night, she told Nong Yue not to sacrifice herself again, but to unite as one to deal with Ban Tian Yue. There's nothing wrong with what she said, so why didn't you say it in front of Sai Hua Tuo, but instead told Nong Yue alone?"
Leng Yue sighed and said, "There is no future for Sai Huatuo and me."
"Why?" Nong Yue asked.
"I can only stay for seven years." Leng Yue said.
"What about seven years later?"
"I'm going to die."
Nong Yue was startled and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Sister, isn't it true that you can't predict the future?"
Leng Yue smiled faintly: "Yes, this was set long ago."
