Chapter 296: Straightforward Taunting



These words were firm and overbearing.

It was like the sound of gold and jade being struck, causing Qu Li's eyes to well up and his throat to feel stuffy.

She raised her chin slightly, quickly pushing back the tears, and pulling his cheek, she said word by word: "Isn't it you who broke into my world?"

As a modern soul, she traveled through time and space and was surrounded by ancient people with different values ​​and outlooks, so it was difficult for her to find resonance.

Feng Yi respects her, protects her, and supports her no matter what she wants to do.

Every time he came from thousands of miles to follow her, she was moved.

He is like the warm sun in winter, able to melt away all the ice in her heart.

Feng Yi smiled.

The pair of eyes that looked at others coldly were filled with tenderness, a tenderness that was only for Qu Li.

Qu Li pecked him lightly on the lips, "If you don't leave me, I won't abandon you!"

He gripped her hand harder and harder, and every pore in his body seemed to be shouting loudly with excitement.

"Li'er, I won't! If I betray you, God will thunder..."

He didn't get to finish his oath before Qu Li sealed it with a kiss.

Their eyes met, their breaths intertwined, and the air was filled with ambiguity.

After the kiss, Qu Li lay on his shoulder, panting, her voice very hoarse.

"Black Wind Cliff is too dangerous. Don't go there alone again."

Even with her modern equipment, she couldn't reach the bottom of the Black Wind Cliff. Even if Changsun Wuque was the best martial artist in the world, could he really survive in the presence of miasma?

If he really survived by chance, he would definitely not watch Li Ran live and die for him.

So, he may no longer be in this world!

"Okay, I promise!"

Today he went to Black Wind Cliff in person and was amazed that there could be such a dangerous place in the world.

Qu Li believed that since Feng Yi had promised it personally, he would definitely not go back on his word.

The two stayed for a while before Qu Li returned to the High Priest's Mansion.

It was very quiet in the Orchid Garden. She hid at the critical point between the space and the outside world, and saw Tianqing kneeling outside with a frown on his face.

She knew that the high priest was a pervert. Every time she hid in space, he could sense it accurately.

After taking a quick glance inside, she left quickly.

The high priest had already become impatient.

After the competition, the young emperor was about to issue an edict in the street to let Changsun Li come to the court as prime minister, but he was stopped by him using the mother Gu.

Unexpectedly, the imperial edict was still sent to Changsun Mansion.

He knew that it was Qu Li who delivered the imperial edict, so he went straight to Lanyuan after returning from the palace.

Qu Li was not there, and Tianqing didn't know where she had gone.

The high priest knew that Qu Li was a man who valued friendship and loyalty, so he asked Tianqing to kneel outside to remind Qu Li.

Suddenly noticing the fluctuation in the air, he frowned and left the room as quickly as possible.

The fluctuation had long since disappeared. He stood there, his eyes narrowed, his mind already drifting to who knows where.

Tianqing felt the oppressive atmosphere emanating from the high priest, bit her lips, and secretly looked at his expression.

"Did you notice anything wrong just now?"

"I didn't feel anything. What happened?" Tianqing had been kneeling for such a long time that he felt extremely weak.

The high priest lowered the corners of his lips and said nothing.

She looked into his eyes and immediately lowered her head.

The high priest looked around the yard, and finally sat back down in silence.

"High Priest." A guard walked in.

"How about it?"

"I've found Miss Qu! She's in the Tibetan Medicine Pavilion."

After the two of them competed, he allowed Qu Li to enter and leave the Tibetan medicine pavilion freely, but the poisonous insects had already been moved away by him.

Qu Li is in the Tibetan medicine pavilion?

After a brief moment of thought, the high priest stood up and went straight to the Tibetan medicine pavilion.

Qu Li was holding a medical book and sleeping peacefully.

The sunlight filtered through the window lattice and fell on her beautiful face, making him dazed for a moment.

The gears of time turned back, and he seemed to see again the woman who had once amazed him.

Qu Li's eyelashes trembled slightly and he suddenly opened his eyes.

She looked at the man who was so close to her, whose eyes were full of tenderness, and frowned in disgust.

"What do you want to do?"

Her vigilance and disgust pulled the high priest back from his wandering thoughts.

The face in front of him suddenly disappeared without a trace. As time passed, it could only exist in his memory, and then became blurred little by little.

"Why are you here?"

Qu Li put down the medical book, stood up and stretched his legs.

"I won the competition that day, and you promised me that I could enter and leave the Tibetan Medicine Pavilion as I pleased. Judging from your reaction now, you seem very reluctant!"

"Not really."

"I found a medical book I've never read before in your medicine cabinet. I got tired of reading it, so I fell asleep. Is there a problem?"

"Have you been here all this time?"

"yes!"

The high priest stared at her face with burning eyes, trying to discover something, but her expression was cold. He stared at her for a long time but discovered nothing.

"Did you take the imperial edict to Changsun Mansion?"

"yes!"

The high priest clenched his hands, his jaw was clenched, and he was on the verge of exploding with rage.

"Since the Emperor trusts the Changsun clan so much, then naturally I cannot object!"

"Even if you want to object, you can't, right? After all, you supported the Emperor's ascension to the throne and established yourself as a loyal minister. If you continue to persecute loyal officials and interfere with the Emperor's decisions, you will definitely be criticized!"

Dark clouds gathered in the high priest's eyes, as if a rainstorm would come at any time.

"You desire both supreme power and universal praise! You're adept at manipulating people's hearts, yet you've forgotten the saying, 'Those who do too much evil will eventually perish!'"

Her words are like pearls of wisdom and her eyes are as bright as stars.

Every word was like a hammer hitting the high priest's heart.

Yes, she was right.

He just wants fame and power.

Even though he knew early on that it was impossible to have the best of both worlds, he still stubbornly insisted on his own ideas on the matter of unifying the Three Kingdoms.

He will become the savior of the world!

Will become a king supported by the world!

Looking at his face full of suppressed anger, Qu Li couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Have you not received the news yet? The people you arranged to go to Dagan and attempt to blow up the dike and poison and cause the plague, as well as those who went to the northern part of Dagan and instigated the refugees to riot, have all been dealt with."

Her eyes were full of sarcasm, like a sharp sword. She slowly told the high priest about his self-righteous arrangements, and then admired them with all her heart.

The high priest had already received the news, which was why he was so moody.

He didn't have even a little patience towards others, and only gave all his tenderness and patience to Qu Li.

Even though she was the daughter of Li Ran and Changsun Wuque, he still couldn't bear to hurt her in the slightest because of her half Li Ran blood.
