Ouch, kiss!
Nong Yue supported Leng Yue with one hand and fanned herself with the other, saying gloatingly, "You have such a poor alcohol tolerance."
Leng Yue bent over and vomited for a long time before finally coming to her senses: "Mr. Nong Yue?"
"Not bad, you're not drunk yet." Nong Yue said with a smile.
"Me?... I'm sober!... Burp..." Leng Yue burped. Nong Yue quickly fanned him twice and said, "Let me take you back to your room."
Leng Yue shook her head vigorously: "I'm not going back!... Eh? You're not with... Sai Hua Tuo...?"
Nong Yue helped Leng Yue to sit down at the corridor and said, "Don't you have something to talk to me about?"
Leng Yue's hazy drunken eyes revealed a hint of surprise: "You...how did you know?"
"Today in the tomb, you asked me how to thank you, and gave me a wink. Wasn't that a hint for Nong Yue to come to you alone?" Nong Yue said.
Leng Yue slapped Nong Yue on the shoulder and said, "Smart! Hahahaha!"
"What is it? Tell me."
Leng Yue thought hard for a while and said, "I'm sorry... my brain is a little stuck... let me think about it..."
"Card?"
"It will be ready soon... just wait a moment..." Leng Yue held his forehead and thought for a long time, then suddenly said loudly: "Ah! I remember..."
"Um?"
Leng Yue pointed at Nong Yue and said, "This time... when you come back..., don't think about... sacrificing yourself... to protect... that person..., it's better to work together... and unite... burp!..." Leng Yue burped again.
"Is that all? Nothing else?" The sudden burp almost made Nong Yue faint. Nong Yue fanned himself hard with the iron fan a few times and asked with a frown.
Leng Yue acted like she was drunk and said, "This... is very important! You... have to agree..."
Nong Yue couldn't help being moved as she looked at the woman in front of her who was still thinking about others even when she was drunk.
"Why didn't you tell me in the tomb?" Nong Yue asked.
"Shhhhh" Leng Yue said mysteriously, "I'll tell you another day."
After finishing what she needed to say, Leng Yue began to feel sleepy, but she was still quite conscious. She grinned and said, "Master Nong Yue, can I borrow your back... for a moment..."
Nong Yue turned around, and Leng Yue started snoring as soon as she rested her head on his back.
Nong Yue shook her head helplessly, turned around and saw Ouyang Mingri, and said, "Compared to Hua Tuo..."
Mingri made a gesture, signaling Nong Yue not to move. Nong Yue nodded, and Mingri walked over.
"She really can't drink much." Nong Yue said with a smile.
Ming Ri smiled sheepishly: "It's all my fault that I didn't know how much she could drink and I forced her to drink several glasses."
"What's going on between you two?" Nong Yue asked with a smile.
Mingri raised an eyebrow and said, "Nothing."
"Oh? Really?" Nong Yue smiled slyly, "That would be best."
"Yan'er----" Sima Changfeng caught up with Yan'er, held Yan'er's hand, his voice anxious and pitiful.
Yan Er snorted coldly and said, "No wonder you were gone for so long, it turns out you already have a beautiful woman in your arms."
"Yan'er, listen to me, Leng Yue was just drunk, I just helped her up, it's not what you think!" Sima Changfeng explained hurriedly.
"Just a helping hand? I clearly saw you lingering with her for a long time." Yan'er said coldly.
"Leng Yue just said a few words to me. There is nothing between Leng Yue and me. You must believe me, Yan'er!" Sima Changfeng explained.
"What did Leng Yue say to you?" Yan'er asked.
"She said...um..." Sima Changfeng didn't know how to start for a moment.
Yan'er became even angrier when she saw him hesitating, so she shook off his hand and walked straight forward.
"Yan'er!" Sima Changfeng caught up with her and said with all his courage, "Leng Yue wants me to kill Ban Tian Yue!"
Yan'er's expression softened a bit, and she asked, "So what do you say?"
"I..." Sima Changfeng was speechless.
Yan'er sighed, turned around and was about to leave.
"Yan'er, I'm telling the truth!" Sima Changfeng grabbed her and said hurriedly.
Yan'er turned around and said, "I believe you are telling the truth, and I also believe that you and Leng Yue are innocent. I'll go back first, you can change your clothes before going."
"Hey, Yan'er----" Changfeng looked at Yan'er, then looked at the dirty clothes on his body, couldn't help but sigh, and went back to change clothes first.
When Sima Changfeng changed his clothes and returned to the banquet, everyone had almost finished eating.
"Brother Sima, what took you so long?" asked Chou Doufu.
Sima Changfeng said, "Oh, I accidentally got my clothes dirty, so I went back and changed." He glanced at Shangguan Yan, but Shangguan Yan ignored him.
"Brother Sima, please serve some more hot dishes." said Chou Doufu.
"Oh, no need, City Lord, I'm full." Sima Changfeng said this, but his stomach was still rumbling.
Gumutian and the old man from the border looked at each other and smiled.
"Then let's all go back and rest," said Chou Doufu. "Two seniors, go back and tell Big Brother and Nong Yue that there's something important to discuss in the Imperial Study tomorrow."
"Yeah!" Gumutian and the old man from the border nodded.
The banquet ended, and Chou Doufu ordered the imperial guards to escort Madam Yuzhu, Ding Xuelian, Lingxue, and Xiao Douya back to Bodhi Garden. Ouyang Feiying was also escorted back to his bedroom by the guards.
Shangguan Yan followed Chou Doufu with a cold face, and Sima Changfeng followed Yan'er dejectedly.
Seeing this, Gumutian and the old man from the border couldn't help but shake their heads with laughter.
Outside the stinky tofu palace.
"Yan'er----" Sima Changfeng called Shangguan Yan's name pitifully.
"You go into the house first, I'll go out for a walk." Without waiting for Changfeng to speak, Yan'er left.
In fact, Yan'er was not jealous. She knew that Leng Yue liked Sai Hua Tuo. She was worried that Leng Yue would get lost in the palace after getting drunk, and wanted to accompany her back, but she accidentally overheard the conversation between Changfeng and Leng Yue.
"Whether Bantianyue regrets it or not, what does it have to do with me?"
"You, you can't do it!"
Sima Changfeng's brow furrowed, the knuckles around his grip on the Dragon Soul Blade turning increasingly pale. Even now, he still couldn't bring himself to strike. Even a single probing word could cause him such distress.
Yan'er knew Changfeng too well. If she pressed him directly about his attitude toward Bantianyue, he would surely harbor resentment. So, she had no choice but to give in to Lengyue's jealousy and let him confess. However, Changfeng remained hesitant about Bantianyue's matter, unable to make up his mind.
This indecisive attitude made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Yan'er was so disappointed that her hand, gripping the Phoenix Blood Sword, gradually grew damp. Could the so-called grace of raising a child truly outweigh the hatred of an entire family being annihilated?
"Little Yan'er!" Gumutian patted Yan'er's shoulder from behind.
"Master!" Yan'er pouted and scolded, "Master, you sneak attacked Xiao Yan'er!"
Gu Mutian also pouted and said, "What do you mean by sneak attack? Master is just teasing you! Haha!"
Yan'er acted coquettishly and shook Gumutian's arm.
"Xiao Yan'er, you don't really think Leng Yue and Chang Feng..." Gu Mutian said with a smile.
"Master, please don't make fun of Yan'er. Yan'er is not a stingy person." Yan'er said while fiddling with her hair.
"Hahahaha! Well, Xiaoyan'er, your master knows that you are not stingy. Then why are you unhappy?" Gumutian asked.
Yan'er hung her head and remained silent.
"Oh? Looking at you like this, is it because of Bantianyue?" Gumutian asked.
Yan'er nodded reluctantly.
Gu Mutian patted Yan'er's shoulder and said, "Little Yan'er, Changfeng is a man who values friendship and loyalty. Don't be angry with him. Those who do too much evil will eventually perish. There is a destiny in the dark!"
After hearing what Gu Mutian said, Yan'er finally felt relieved and said, "Master, Yan'er understands."
"I understand. Let's go back quickly! Haha!" Gumutian said with a smile.
Sima Changfeng returned to his room dejectedly, thinking about what Leng Yue said.
"Bantianyue hates you and me... He likes to put all the blame on others. You can't do it, and he's been very good to me... But the longer he lives, the more painful he will be, and he will never repent... You can't do it! It would be better to give him a quick death... Otherwise..."
Although Leng Yue didn't say much, every word she said hurt his heart. He really hated Ban Tianyue, but if he really wanted to kill her, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Although Bantianyue killed more than 30 members of my family, he raised me for more than ten years and taught me martial arts with all his heart... Although he had other purposes, without him, there would be no me today. Do I have to fight Bantianyue to the death? God, please tell me what I should do! Alas!" Sima Changfeng said with a sigh.
The door opened with a creak and Shangguan Yan walked in.
"Yan'er----" Sima Changfeng called Yan'er's name pitifully.
Yan'er came in with a bowl of noodles, handed it to Sima Changfeng, and said with a pout, "I know you're not full, eat quickly."
"Yan'er, are you not angry anymore?" Sima Changfeng couldn't hide his inner joy.
"Angry with you? I'm going to be pissed to death by you!" Yan'er scolded.
Sima Changfeng smiled foolishly, picked up the bowl of noodles and started eating it ravenously.
(Ah, ghost-seeing worry, even ghosts would worry! Yan'er, Abu sympathizes with you←_←)
At three o'clock in the morning, Leng Yue opened her eyes and found that the candle in the room was still lit. On the table were some snacks, a small pot of boiling water, and a blue and white porcelain necklace.
"Hehe----" Leng Yue happily picked up the necklace, gestured in front of the mirror for a long time, and then put on the necklace and admired herself for a long time.
At this moment, a long "gurgling..." sound came from my stomach.
"Eat something. Hehe." Leng Yue ate while playing with the ceramic necklace around her neck with her other hand. After eating, she felt no sleepiness at all. Looking at the necklace given to her by the young master, she couldn't help but want to write a love poem to him.
Leng Yue ground some ink, spread out the paper, and wrote: "A graceful figure on the brow, a noble spirit in the chest, seven parts proud on the outside, three parts gentle on the inside." Then he couldn't come up with any more words. There was no way, Leng Yue really couldn't write poetry.
I was lost in thought when I suddenly heard a familiar voice: "You're so interested."
Leng Yue was shocked, and quickly crumpled the letter into a ball and hid it behind him, then stood up hastily.
"Aren't you asleep yet?" Leng Yue smiled awkwardly.
"What are you writing?" Mingri asked.
"Nothing was written." Leng Yue said unnaturally.
"What are you hiding?" Mingri came over and reached out to grab the paper ball in her hand.
Leng Yue quickly threw the paper ball out the window: "I've already said it's nothing!"
Nong Yue happened to be passing by Leng Yue's window when he saw a ball of paper flying towards him. He quickly dodged to the side, glanced at the ball of paper on the ground, and then looked inside the room. Seeing that it was Leng Yue and Ming Ri talking inside the room, Nong Yue smiled, shook his head, and left.
"Are you leaving again?" Mingri asked.
"No." Leng Yue told the truth this time.
"Why do you always have to leave? Is there no one or anything here worth your nostalgia?!"
"No..." Leng Yue explained.
Mingri pulled Lengyue into his arms. Lengyue was surprised: "Sir, you are not... drunk..."
Before he finished speaking, Mingri's lips were firmly pressed against Lengyue's. Their eyes met, a glint of light flashing (that's just Abu's own nonsense!). Lengyue didn't resist, but simply stared at Mingri in surprise. Mingri kissed her firmly. Gradually, Lengyue's tense body relaxed, her eyes slightly closed, and her hands began to slowly rest on Mingri's shoulders.
Mingri, however, let go of Leng Yue at this very moment, returning to his usual nonchalant demeanor. Leng Yue's face flushed red, and she quickly let go, lowering her head and not daring to look at him again.
Mingri sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry."
Leng Yue lowered his head and said nothing.
"If I can't get your heart, then your body..." Mingri murmured, turned around sadly, and prepared to leave.
"Young Master," Leng Yue called Mingri.
Come back tomorrow.
"Young Master once said this to Shangguan Yan," Leng Yue said, "Did you ever expect that one day you would say the same thing to another woman?"
Tomorrow will be silent.
"Do you still remember 'No matter how the world changes, one day, I will make you truly happy, truly blessed'? When you said this, you were absolutely certain that Shangguan Yan was the love of your life. But now..." Leng Yue smiled lightly, "It can be seen that Miss Shangguan is just a passer-by in your life. If that's the case, how can you be sure that Leng Yue is not just a passer-by in your life?"
"In Miss Shangguan's heart, there is only Sima Changfeng." Mingri said.
"That's right, so the young master hasn't really let go of Miss Shangguan, he just can't get her. If that's the case, why does Leng Yue have to be a substitute?"
Mingri was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
"Whether it's for a momentary pleasure or to settle for second best, neither Leng Yue wants nor does the young master want. Leng Yue knows that she is mediocre and unworthy of the young master, nor will she be the young master's lifelong love. Leng Yue would rather be the young master's friend and share his worries and troubles."
"I really hope that my dream of being a fangirl can come true, but love is not a joke and I must be responsible for it."
Mingri smiled with a complicated expression and said, "Go to bed early."
After Mingri left, Leng Yue lay on the bed, touching her flushed cheeks, kissed the ceramic necklace foolishly, and fell asleep.
