Chapter 293 Triggering the Three-Person Shura Field
Song Ci was about to leave when Lin Huo walked up to her and sat down.
The two stared at each other, neither of them speaking first. It was Song Ci who thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for the token of gratitude you gave me when I left. If your master hadn't been willing to help, it's hard to say whether I could have returned safely this time."
Lin Huo suddenly smiled, his brows relaxed, "I'm glad I can help you."
The two fell silent again and waited for a long time. Just when Song Ci felt that the other party would never speak, Lin Huo spoke again, as if he had mustered up the courage.
"I have great confidence in passing the imperial examination this time."
Song Ci didn't know why the other party said this, but just nodded in agreement, "Your talent has always been good."
"Do you really think so?" Lin Huo's eyes were sparkling, and combined with the setting sun, it was a bit dazzling.
Seeing such a bright and clear smile, Song Ci couldn't help but feel a little better. "Yes, there is no doubt about it. I have always believed that you can pass the exam."
"Yeah." He clenched his hands and was about to continue speaking when his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Following his gaze, Song Ci saw Pei Ji, dressed in a blue robe, walking towards them. The worry that had flashed across his eyes just now was replaced by his usual aloofness and indifference after he saw Lin Huo.
"Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei." Song Ci stuttered a little. It was really not her fault. The situation before her was too weird.
"Well, I heard what happened to you on the road today, so..."
"Mr. Pei, I have something to say to Miss Song." Lin Huo interrupted without mercy, his tone was unprecedentedly cold and hard.
Pei Ji raised his eyebrows, then lifted his robe and sat down next to Song Ci. "In that case, why don't you speak first, Master Lin? I'll talk after you finish speaking."
Lin Huo frowned, "I don't like your presence."
"This is a restaurant, and everyone who comes is a guest. I'm afraid Master Lin has no right to chase me away."
"Mr. Pei, am I being too rude? I was clearly the first one to arrive today."
"Master Lin, do you insist on first come, first served?" Pei Ji's eyebrows curved, and his smile was not visible in his eyes. "This restaurant is mine. I have never seen a guest chase the owner away."
Song Ci was a little surprised. What a coincidence, this restaurant happened to belong to Pei Ji?
"It's yours, and you can't disturb the guests like this."
"So, Miss Song, did I disturb you?" Pei Ji smiled and threw the words to Song Ci who had been pretending to be dead. She was so frightened that she couldn't swallow a mouthful of water and started coughing violently.
"Cough cough cough cough............" She coughed violently, her cheeks flushed red.
Lin Huo hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, "Wipe it quickly, but are you coughing so badly?"
"Use my handkerchief, it's new. Men and women shouldn't touch each other." Pei Ji stretched out his hand and pushed Lin Huo's hand away, his face full of innocence.
"you!"
"I'm doing this for Miss Song's own good."
"That's enough, stop arguing..." Song Ci's head was about to explode. If she didn't say anything, she was afraid that the two would start arguing again.
Just at this moment, a teasing voice with a long tail sounded from behind.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Song? Pei Ji is here too. Could this be Mr. Lin Huolin, the Sanyuan who's been so popular lately? Tsk tsk tsk, everyone's here. You don't mind me joining in, right?"
Prince Yu waved his fan, his peach blossom eyes staring at this place, and then he sat down without waiting for anyone's consent after he finished speaking.
Song Ci was very confused. It was already such a late hour and Prince Yu was still causing trouble.
Shouldn't he be fighting the Crown Prince to the death? Why does he still have the time to come here? The Crown Prince is just causing him more trouble. How can he be so useless!
"Why, you don't welcome me? Then Miss Song, do you welcome me?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Prince Yu asked the question with great interest, his face full of an expression of adding fuel to the fire.
Song Ci glanced at him with a forced smile, "Your Highness Prince Yu really has the leisure time to come here and tease me."
"Tease?" Prince Yu waved his fan exaggeratedly and blinked his peach blossom eyes. "I never tease. What I say is always sincere and true. There is no falsehood."
Where's the prince? Why didn't he bring people to kill him?
Lin Huo's face became even uglier. If Pei Ji was the best among the aristocratic families, then Prince Yu was the best among the princes.
But his expression remained unchanged. With an indomitable spirit, he stared at Pei Ji and Prince Yu.
Finally, Song Ci couldn't help it and said, "I have something else to do today, so I'll leave first."
Prince Yu hurried forward and said, "Miss Song, what's the matter? I'm about to leave too."
"Your Highness Prince Yu, are you very free?"
Prince Yu had an innocent look on his face, his thick eyelashes drooping, and he looked aggrieved, "Miss Song, do you dislike me?"
Seeing that the other party was so difficult to deal with, she said directly: "My mother's birthday is coming soon, and I plan to pick out a piece of jewelry for her. Does Prince Yu also want to buy jewelry? Does he have such a hobby?"
"What a coincidence! My mother and sister both love jewelry. Why don't we do it together?"
Song Ci felt helpless. She turned around to look at Song Ci and Lin Huo who were still staring at each other, and thought that it was not impossible to get rid of the two of them first.
The two of them left together. Pei Ji no longer hesitated and stood up. "Since Master Lin likes to sit down, then please sit down. I'll treat you to some drinks and snacks. Put it on my bill."
"No thanks! I dare not accept such a gift."
Pei Ji: "Whatever you want!"
The two men snorted coldly and left one after another.
When she arrived at the jewelry shop, Song Ci thought that Prince Yu was just there to cause trouble, but she didn't expect that the other party actually had some insights into these things.
"The water head of this bracelet is not good. It is not worth the price."
"This hairpin is an old-fashioned style. Don't buy it."
"The gemstone on this headpiece isn't bright enough, it's a bit dull. If you wear it, people will laugh at you."
"For this pair, the earrings are barely acceptable, but..."
The shopkeeper, who thought the deal was finally done, was rubbing his hands excitedly, but when he heard that it was just... his hair stood on end.
Who on earth is this person? If it weren’t for the fact that he is dressed in luxurious clothes and must be of extraordinary status, the shopkeeper would have been furious a long time ago!
They are not here to do business, they are clearly here to cause trouble!
And it's very blatant.
"But the pearls are too small. If I don't look closely, I can't see that they are pearls."
Seeing Song Ci put the earrings back into the box, the shopkeeper looked like a fighting cock!
"Shopkeeper, why are you staring so wide-eyed? If your eyesight isn't good, go get a checkup." Prince Yu had already noticed that the shopkeeper was dissatisfied with him, and he couldn't help but laugh and tease him.
People in high positions have long developed their own unique power, and Prince Yu is no exception.
The shopkeeper was so frightened by such a glance that he lowered his head and said, "I dare not, I dare not."
"Is this all you have in your store? Hurry up and bring up the good stuff." Prince Yu pushed open the wooden box in front of him with disgust, as if he saw something dirty.
