Chapter 63 Sun Wukong's Troubles
Xiao Qing's stubbornness seemed to be ignited, and as the fire spread, her reason was burned to pieces.
She let out a cold snort, "If he wants to send me away, he should come and talk to me in person."
The other person laughed.
"It seems you wish to stay."
I……
"What's the point of staying?"
"I can only speak if Your Excellency explicitly states that you wish to stay."
Xiao Qing frowned and remained silent for a moment.
The Grand Tutor was no ordinary nobody. Since he asked so bluntly, he naturally wouldn't let her choose one now and then casually switch to another later.
"Before that, shouldn't you explain why you've been so slow to appear and why you've provided so many clues? Are you just playing a trick on us?"
The other person's brows relaxed. "This is the Grand Tutor's intention."
"Were the crutches and wheelchair also the Grand Tutor's idea?"
The Grand Tutor was thousands of miles away, yet he was able to find out in time that she had injured her leg and prepare a means of transportation for her in such a short period of time.
"No, that's Li Qinghe's sincerity towards the Grand Tutor."
What do you mean?
"That's all the guests need to know," he smiled. "If they were to pay closer attention, they would be satisfied with Li Qinghe's sincerity."
It seems I can't say anything now.
"Yu Junting avoided seeing him for three days, and finally sent a beggar to bring him medicine and shoes. Was this also the Grand Tutor's intention?"
"That's right. The Grand Tutor knew the guest would ask, so I'll explain it to him."
"I'm all ears."
"Yu Junting avoided seeing him because the person who came was not the one designated by the Grand Tutor."
"Doesn't the Grand Tutor consider the possibility that I can't personally intervene?"
"There are two possibilities. First, it means that the guest did not value the Grand Tutor highly, so it makes no difference whether Li Qinghe is present or not."
Xiao Qing glanced over coldly.
The other person seemed to find the expression on her face amusing, and a smile appeared in their eyes.
"Secondly, the guest does have an objective reason for not being able to appear, which is a problem that Li Qinghe needs to consider. However, there is nothing major happening at home and no unrest in the city, so the guest will not be unable to come out. In short, if the Grand Tutor asks, Li Qinghe will definitely convey it."
What does Li Qinghe do? Why does he act so arrogantly?
"The person appointed by the Grand Tutor has arrived, so why hasn't he shown up?"
"Although the designated person arrived, he did not meet the Grand Tutor's requirements."
"What are the requirements?"
"The guest took the clothes and shoes back, that's one thing; finding Li Qinghe through the clothes and shoes is another; the guest came in person is the third."
What if I didn't take my clothes and shoes?
"This proves that you are not the person the Grand Tutor wants."
"What if I didn't find Li Qinghe by his clothes and shoes?"
"This proves that Your Excellency did not employ the people the Grand Tutor wanted you to employ."
"What if I hadn't come in person?"
"Your Excellency has gone through many twists and turns to finally find Li Qinghe, yet you do not come to see him in person, which proves that you are still not one of the Grand Tutor's men."
"Oh? According to your logic, if I leave now, I won't be the person the Grand Tutor wants or is waiting for either. Don't you think all this trouble and effort has come at too high a cost?"
The other person smiled again. "This is Li Qinghe's sincerity towards Fu Mingyi."
Xiao Qing noticed that he was referring to Fu Mingyi here.
What Li Qinghe values is Fu Mingyi's worth, not the Grand Tutor.
Xiao Qing felt she didn't want to ask anything anymore.
"So, have you decided whether to stay or leave?"
We've come full circle again.
"Just who is Fu Mingyi? Does he own a gold mine or something? Why would you all do so much for him?"
"The customer has misunderstood; it's just a transaction."
"How about this, I'll make a deal with you too, how about it?"
Li Qinghe found it amusing. "What kind of deal do you wish to make? Making a deal with Li Qinghe comes at a price."
"What price did the Grand Tutor pay you?"
"This is to be kept confidential for the guests."
Xiao Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Then tell me, what do I have to offer you in exchange for a deal?"
"I really didn't notice."
Xiao Qing glared, "Didn't the Grand Tutor tell you who the person you designated was?"
"Are the guests already aware of their own status?"
This person is very quick-witted and not a good opponent in a verbal battle.
"So, could the guest please clearly state whether they are staying or leaving?"
Li Qinghe was sitting directly opposite the closed window. He glanced at the window seemingly casually, and said, "If the guest does not make a decision soon, I shall take my leave."
You're really not being polite.
Xiao Qing closed her eyes briefly.
"If I choose to leave, will I never see the Grand Tutor again in this life? Only I know the answer to whether I live or die."
"nature."
"If I choose to stay, Grand Tutor..."
Xiao Qing was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized there was really nothing to ask.
We are at their mercy, like fish on a chopping board. The vulnerable have no right to negotiate.
Moreover, she was not prepared to be taken away by strangers as if fleeing without even glancing at the Grand Tutor.
"Fine, I'll stay." After saying this, Xiao Qing looked away, feeling inexplicably dejected.
I don't know how to describe this feeling.
Noticing Xiao Qing's fluctuating emotions, Li Qinghe remained silent for a while before finally saying, "In that case, the guest will be safe until the Grand Tutor returns."
"When will the Grand Tutor return?" Xiao Qing's eyes were clear, yet seemed shrouded in a layer of mist.
Li Qinghe smiled and said, "The Grand Tutor's return date is hidden in what you took."
He paused, then added, "To be precise, it's in the lining of the sole."
Xiao Qing stared wide-eyed. These people were so inconsiderate. Why couldn't they pass things properly instead of putting them in their shoes?
Don't you think your feet smell?
Xiao Qing stood up, ready to leave.
Li Qinghe remained seated, without moving.
Xiao Qing paused, "If I ever need to do business with you, where can I find you?"
"Li Qinghe only makes deals with those he has chosen."
Xiao Qing curled her lip, thinking that a fake emperor was not as valuable as a fallen Fu Mingyi.
"One last question, was the Grand Tutor injured?"
"Seriously injured."
Xiao Qing nodded, took two steps outside, and turned her head to the side. "Thank you for letting me know. I don't know why, but hearing this news feels really good."
A while after Xiao Qing left, Li Qinghe was laughing heartily in the room, his fist pressed against his chin.
He roughly understood why Fu Mingyi, despite being in danger, insisted on having Li Qinghe make the trip.
Asking about someone's future is a pretense; the real purpose is to force them to comply.
Fu Mingyi's actions are a mix of truth and deception, which can sometimes make him quite unlikeable.
It's really heartless to treat a child like this.
He walked to the window, reached out and pushed it open, startling a thin, ugly, dark bird that was bigger than a pigeon.
He put his finger to his lips and whistled loudly, and the black bird suddenly flew into the sky, flapping its wings and gradually becoming a black dot.
However, Fu Mingyi still overlooked one thing.
