Chapter 181 Holding Hands
Bei Mingyu smiled bitterly, "I've never heard of it in the capital."
When he was in the capital of Beiming, he was often imprisoned in a dark dungeon. How could he have any channels to learn about the news of another empire?
Luo Li smiled and said nonchalantly, "I only found out about it this year."
Bei Mingyu was stunned, "You..."
Lan Xiaoxiao also stuck out her tongue and chuckled, "Me too, I hadn't heard of it when I was at home. If Lili hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it!"
Bei Mingyu smiled and said, "You don't need to comfort me. I'm not a child anymore."
Luo Li chuckled, "Who comforted you? I was telling the truth."
Lan Xiaoxiao crossed her fingers and said, "Yes, I really didn't know it before!"
Song Wanbai patted the table and said, "Okay, let's discuss it."
Luo Li straightened her expression, nodded, took out a bottle of pills from her space ring and threw it to Bei Mingyu, "Go on."
Bei Mingyu caught the jade bottle and was stunned. "What is this?"
Luo Li's lips curled up into a smile, and she said mysteriously, "There's a pill that can change your appearance and aura, but the effect of one pill only lasts for six hours."
Bei Mingyu clenched the jade bottle tightly, "Ali, I..."
Luo Li held her chin with one hand and said with a smile, "Although I can't kill him for the time being, I can take you to the state banquet. Then, I can find a chance to embarrass him."
After all, if Bei Minghan lost his life in the palace, it would be an accident. As Bei Minghan is currently the most respected prince, the Bei Ming Empire will definitely use this as an excuse to attack the Longyue Empire.
But if it was just a public embarrassment, that would be a story. Bei Minghan and the Bei Ming Empire would not only lose face, but also have no reason to attack the Long Yue Empire. After all, the person is still fine.
Bei Mingyu put the jade bottle away carefully and looked up, "Ali, is it okay to take me in?"
Luo Li shrugged, "Bring a few guards, Uncle Mo won't stop me."
As soon as these words came out, An Shuxue and Mu Ze raised their hands tremblingly, "Um, A-Li..."
Luo Li immediately raised her hand and looked at them with bright eyes, "I can take you in, but you also have to take the pill."
"Yeah!"
Lan Xiaoxiao chuckled, "No need for that. My parents are coming to the capital soon. I'll go in with them!"
She smiled bitterly inwardly, not wanting to go in with her father at all! She really wanted to be with Lili! Damn old man! So annoying!
Luo Li nodded, "Okay."
Song Wanbai and Mo Yizhou naturally didn't need it either. "His Majesty Emperor Mo has invited the elders of our family. We can just go with them when the time comes."
Luo Li nodded and knocked on the table, "Okay, then it's settled."
After handing the pills to An Shuxue and Mu Ze, each holding a bottle, she stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "Alright, that's all I want to say. There's nothing else to say. I'll go back first."
She glanced at Bei Mingyu and instructed, "Stay in the academy for the next few days and don't run around."
Bei Mingyu curled his lips, feeling much calmer, "Okay."
Lan Xiaoxiao and the others also nodded, "Okay! See you at the state banquet!"
There was still a week before the Longyue State Banquet. On the morning of the second day, Luo Li first went to the place where Si Bai and Si Nian were temporarily staying, ready to find out what had happened to Si Bai that caused him to be corrupted.
Luo Yuanxiu and the other two originally wanted to go with Luo Li, but Luo Li patted Barrett's shoulder and said, "With Barrett and the others accompanying me, no one in the imperial capital can hurt me."
Barrett narrowed his dark green eyes and uttered a soft hum from his throat, "Hmm."
Luo Yuanxiu and the other two thought it made sense and nodded, "Alright, contact us if you have any questions."
Luo Li waved her hand, "Okay, I understand!"
When she walked onto the main street of the imperial capital, Luo Li saw Di Xuanming leaning against the wall.
Luo Li raised her eyebrows slightly, "How did you know I was going out today?"
Not only did he know that she was going out, he was also waiting for her on this necessary route.
Di Xuanming pursed his lips and said honestly, "You said yesterday that you wouldn't go to Si Bai's place, so I thought you might go today, so I'll just wait and see here."
Luo Li nodded slightly, "Okay, then come with me?"
Di Xuanming relaxed his expression and curled his lips, "Okay."
Barrett closed his eyes and said, "Okay, I'm going back first. Call me if you need anything."
Luo Li nodded, "Okay."
Luo Li and Di Xuanming walked side by side on the streets of the imperial capital, both wearing silver, cold masks on their faces.
It really attracted the attention of many people.
Di Xuanming moved his fingertips slightly, opened his hand and grasped Luo Li's hand.
The two held hands and came to the door of the family where Si Bai and Si Nian were temporarily staying.
Luo Li raised her hand and knocked on the door, and immediately a female voice answered, "Coming!"
Si Nian heard a knock on the door, strode over and opened it. Seeing the person coming, he was stunned for a moment, "Sir Luo Li, why are you here?"
Luo Li chuckled, "I came to find Si Bai, where is he?"
Seeing Luo Li's smile, Si Nian felt a little relieved and said with a smile, "He's in the side yard. I'll take you there."
Luo Li took Di Xuanming's hand and walked into the door, nodding, "Okay."
Si Nian led them to the side yard, where Si Bai was sitting at a stone table.
His complexion had returned to normal, and he looked down at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
Si Nian pushed open the courtyard door and said, "Si Bai, Lord Luo Li is here."
Si Bai's heart trembled when he heard this. He bent his fingers and turned his head to look over, and saw a man and a woman standing next to Si Nian.
He stood up suddenly, his voice hoarse, even though he himself hadn't noticed, and said, "Luo Li... Your Excellency, you're here."
Luo Li nodded casually, with no expression on her face, took off her mask, walked over and sat down opposite Si Bai.
Di Xuanming's eyes were on Luo Li from beginning to end, and he didn't give Si Bai any glances.
Si Bai hesitated a bit, "Sir Luo Li, what brings you here today?"
Luo Li glanced at him and said directly, "My master said that the reason why you were corrupted is related to me?"
Si Bai was stunned and nodded hesitantly.
"That's right."
Luo Li took out a pot of tea from the space ring, and Di Xuanming reached out and poured a cup for Luo Li.
Luo Li took a sip of tea and continued, "I came here today to understand why you were eroded, and how you felt during this period of erosion."
Si Bai felt a tightness in his chest and whispered, "Do you want to start from the beginning?"
Luo Li nodded immediately, "Of course."
Si Bai exhaled, "That day, my father and I went to the Si family to cancel our engagement, but we discovered that you were able to cultivate, and you even asked for the Red Sun Spirit Jade back."
As soon as these words were spoken, except for Luo Li, Di Xuanming and Si Nian all had strange expressions.
Di Xuanming narrowed his eyes, and a heart-pounding aura suddenly leaked out.
break off an engagement?
The man's aura was so terrifying that Si Bai paused and looked at Luo Li for help.
Luo Li coughed lightly, reached out and held Di Xuanming's hand, squeezing it.
He raised his eyes again and said to Si Bai, "You continue."
Di Xuanming's aura was completely restrained. His eyes fell on Luo Li's hand. He curled his lips slightly and no longer paid attention to Si Bai.
