Chapter 1124: Blame
"Ah?!" Mu Ze glared, "It wasn't me! It was Ye Yichen! He went with us because he insisted on testing us!"
Ye Yichen was confused. Okay, okay, you’re trying to pass the blame, right?
He immediately threw it back, "It's Yue Hanchuan! You know I'm a good person! He was embarrassed to say it, so I said it on his behalf!"
After saying that, he smiled evilly. Yue Hanchuan didn't come again, so he had to take the blame.
Yue Hanchuan's cold voice suddenly came from the treetops: "Ye Yichen, are you itching for trouble?"
Everyone was startled and looked up, only to see Yue Hanchuan in white and Mo Yizhou in black leaning on the treetops. Mo Yizhou was holding a jar of wine in his hand.
Ye Yichen froze for a moment and chuckled dryly: "When did you come?"
Yue Hanchuan floated down lightly, his clothes fluttering as he stood in front of Ye Yichen. "It started from the moment you said 'you are a good person.'"
Luo Li couldn't help laughing, the alcohol started to take over again, and her body swayed.
Di Xuanming put his arm around her waist and frowned, "It's time to rest."
Seeing this, Shi Heng closed his folding fan and called out, "Go, go, don't disturb the city lord's rest!"
Lan Xiaoxiao winked and said, "Ali, we'll come see you tomorrow~"
Mu Ze was dragged out by Ye Yichen, and he didn't forget to turn around and shout: "A Li! It's really not my fault for what happened in the medicine pavilion!"
The moment the courtyard door closed, Yue Hanchuan suddenly turned around and threw the wine jar to Di Xuanming: "Sober her up."
Di Xuanming raised his hand to take it and nodded slightly.
The courtyard finally returned to peace, with only the rustling of the spiritual tree remaining.
Luo Li leaned on Di Xuanming's shoulder and sniffed the wine jar: "What a nice smell..."
Di Xuanming broke the seal, and the rich aroma of wine immediately filled the air. He poured out a glass and held it to Luo Li's lips: "Drink slowly."
Luo Li took a sip from his hand, her eyes lighting up: "It's much better than what I drank at the banquet!"
Di Xuanming chuckled and wiped the wine stains from her lips with his fingertips: "Yue Hanchuan is quite picky."
The night wind blew by, and Luo Li suddenly shuddered.
Di Xuanming immediately took off his outer robe and wrapped her in it. "Go back to the house?"
Luo Li shook her head and looked at the moon in the sky with drunken eyes: "Wait a little longer."
She counted on her fingers: "This time when I went to the North, I met the guardian of the Demon God Temple and helped the North repair the city defense formation, and also..."
The sound gradually became lower and finally turned into even breathing sounds.
Di Xuanming lowered his head and found that she had fallen asleep in his arms.
In the moonlight, her eyelashes cast fine shadows on her face, and there was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
He gently picked her up and walked into the house.
Suddenly, Luo Li in his arms muttered, "A Ming..."
Di Xuanming paused and replied softly, "Hmm?"
"Next time... I'll take you to see the flowers..." She unconsciously rubbed against his arms.
Di Xuanming's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his head to place a kiss on her hair: "Okay."
The night breeze blew gently, and the twin ice orchids carefully planted by Di Xuanming in the courtyard bloomed quietly under the moonlight. The frost and snow on the crystal petals melted, and the dripping water droplets reflected the starry sky.
The next day, early morning.
The moment Luo Li opened her eyes, she felt a little annoyed.
Next time I should force myself out of the alcohol as soon as I drink it, otherwise I will forget about it in front of people I trust.
Luo Li sat up while rubbing her temples, and found a black robe neatly folded beside her pillow - it was the one that Di Xuanming had wrapped around her last night.
"Awake?" Di Xuanming pushed the door open, holding a jade bowl. The medicine in the bowl glowed a lustrous green. "This is the medicine Yue Hanchuan sent."
Luo Li was about to take it when she suddenly noticed a few mud stains on his cuffs.
Di Xuanming followed her gaze and revealed a rare hint of embarrassment. "The seat I chose last night wasn't very good, so I just moved it."
He leaned forward and said, "Drink this first."
There was a rustling sound outside the window.
Lan Xiaoxiao's head suddenly popped out from the window frame: "Ali! The elder of the medicine pavilion said that there will be a test today--"
Her voice stopped abruptly, and she stared at Luo Li and the others with wide eyes.
"I didn't see anything!" Lan Xiaoxiao shrank back quickly, but left the entire food box on the windowsill.
The lotus leaf pastries wrapped in three layers inside the food box were steaming, obviously freshly baked.
Di Xuanming tapped the window frame with his fingertips, and the food box flew steadily into the house.
Luo Li lifted the top layer of lotus leaves, and on the golden honey-wine flower cake, a smiley face was crookedly painted with icing sugar.
The gate of the courtyard was suddenly slammed loudly.
Mu Ze's loud voice was extremely penetrating: "Ali! Ye Yichen pulled up the Seven Heart Lotus you planted as if it were a weed! Now Yue Hanchuan is taking him to the medicine pavilion to apologize!"
Ye Yichen's wailing could be heard faintly in the distance: "I am innocent! That lotus looks exactly like the spiritual flower on the roadside——"
"Serves you right," Mo Yizhou lazily commented from the treetops, where the young man in black was drinking on a branch. "I told you not to touch anything that blooms near where she hangs out."
Di Xuanming suddenly turned and walked out. Luo Li quickly grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Medicine Pavilion," he said, moving his wrist expressionlessly, "It takes a thousand years for the Seven Heart Lotus to bloom."
"Okay," Luo Li laughed, "It's just a Seven Heart Lotus."
Di Xuanming blinked and said, "Then never mind."
"But you can go and join in the fun!" Before Di Xuanming could react, Luo Li had already walked out of the yard.
He glanced at the shoes beside the bed, frowned slightly, and immediately stood up and chased after him, "Shoes!"
Luo Li was about to make a hand gesture to teleport when her wrist was suddenly entangled by an icy silk hanging from the treetop.
"Shoes." Yue Hanchuan stood on the treetop outside the yard at some point, his fingertips still hooked on Mo Yizhou's wine jug.
Luo Li looked down at her feet stepping on the grass. Her white jade-like toes were curled up innocently in the morning dew.
She took the shoes that Di Xuanming sent with a wry smile and swiftly got on the bed. "Alright, alright, let's go to the medicine pavilion and watch the fun! Those medicine pavilion elders are not to be trifled with. Ye Yichen will definitely have to pay compensation!"
Lan Xiaoxiao popped up again, "You're the city lord, are you going to rescue him?"
"No, no, no," Luo Li shook her finger, "I went to watch the fun."
Everyone's eyes lit up, "Let's go!"
The group immediately rushed to the medicine cabinet and soon arrived outside the door.
At this moment, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the direction of the medicine pavilion, and colorful smoke rose into the sky.
Mo Yizhou's wine jug fell to the ground with a "plop", and Yue Hanchuan's ice silk instantly formed a protective shield.
"Ye! Yi! Chen!" The Medicine Pavilion Elder's roar shook the leaves off the spirit trees. "You put the Transformation Pill and the Explosion Talisman together?!"
Mu Ze rushed out in a panic, smoke still rising from his head. Seeing Luo Li and the others, he said in panic, "It's over! Ye Yichen has burned off Elder Chen's beloved beard!"
Ye Yichen rushed out, his face covered in dust, holding a half-burned talisman paper in his hand: "Do you believe me if I say this was an accident?"
