Xuanji can’t remember how she spent that night. She was in a state of shock and bewilderment, and still suspected that she was mistaken.
She couldn’t believe how the Island Master would behave if he knew that his wife was having an affair with someone else and that the person who stole her was his head steward.
On the way to catch demons, Xuanji knew that he was a kind and amiable person. If he knew about this, he will suffer a lot.
Probably because Xuan ji seldom had anything on his mind, she even thought the meal was not delicious. Linglong finally couldn’t stand it any longer and hit her on the forehead with her chopsticks, frowning, “Are you silly? What are you thinking? Why don’t you eat your food?”
Xuanji was dumbfounded and realized that she was unconsciously holding a bowl, not eating, but gnawing on it.
She hurriedly made a sound, put a chopstick of food in her mouth and said, “I… I’m so hungry…”
Ling Long stared at her, “There’s something wrong with you. What did you do with Sifeng this afternoon?” She looks at Yu Sifeng suspiciously, and he shoves rice into his mouth with a look of innocence on his face.
“I was worried that Wu Tong would find out that we had set the trap.” Xuanji finally came up with a good reason.
Yu Sifeng nodded his head in agreement, “Yes, yes! He’s, well, he’s a smart guy. No, not really.”
When Zhong MinYan saw them singing together, he was amused and said, “Don’t be afraid. If he comes here, let’s see what he’ll do!”
Ling Long tilted her nose to the sky and grunted, “That’s right! This is Shaoyang’s territory! Let’s see what he can do!”
As soon as he said that, there was a knock at the door. Ling Long, who was guilty like a thief, jumped up and hid behind Xuanji, urgently saying, “Is he here? So fast!”
Yu Sifeng looks at her funny, puts down his chopsticks and goes to open the door, but he is startled. Linglong was right, the man standing in front of the door is really Wu Tong.
I don’t know how long it took him to get out, but he probably came looking for him as soon as he did, looking embarrassed, his hair in a mess, his clothes covered with grass, leaves and mud… everything.
He was in an awkward position, but his face was not awkward at all.
He was actually smiling, an icy smile.
“Yo,” he said, “so that’s how it is. When did Lize Palace become so close to the Shaoyang Sect?”
Yu Sifeng, seeing that his plan had been discovered, threw out the whole thing.
“Don’t be silly. If you don’t like it, you can go and cry to your master. Let him come to my master and punish me.”
When Wu Tong looked into the room, Zhong Minyan and Linglong made faces at him provocatively, but Xuanji was the only one who did not look at him.
He laughed coldly and said, “The Shaoyang Sect is not as good as the others, so they have spent their energy on these crooked ways. No wonder!”
Ling Long was furious and said, “Show some respect! I’m the one who schemed you, don’t blame it on Shaoyang! You hurt my sister and you want to be good without saying a word? It’s not a good thing!”
Wu Tong looked up and down at her and didn’t say a word for a long time. Finally, he arched his hands and said calmly, “I will never forget your hospitality, Miss Shaoyang. Excuse me!”
After that, he flew out of the courtyard as if he were a crane.
“I’m not afraid of you! Let the horses come!” Linglong chases after him and yells.
Zhong Minyan grabbed her hand and frowned and said, “Linglong! Do not be impulsive. I think this man is narrow-minded and cunning. Be careful not to fall into his trap.”
“I’m not afraid! “I’ll beat him up every time he comes!” She’s still going strong.
“Idiot!” Zhong Minyan can’t help but hit her on the head. “After all, you’re still a girl. It won’t hurt to be more stable. Look at Xuanji, she is your sister. As an elder sister, you should learn from her.”
Stupid… Both Xuanji and Yu Sifeng sighed in their hearts at the same time. Isn’t this putting fuel on the fire?
Sure enough, Linglong was so furious that she pushed him hard in the chest and seemed about to yell at him. “I’m not as good as her! Leave me alone!”
She stomped her foot, turned around and ran away.
“Uh, Linglong! It’s rare for Zhong Minyan to see her like this, so he was dumbfounded, unable to react.
Yu Sifeng tapped him on the shoulder and said, “No, go after her! If you stay, really, a foolish goose,” she said.
Zhong Minyan scratched his hair and sighed, “She’s so bad-tempered, why is she always like this?”
Yu Sifeng shrugged his shoulders, anyway, one was willing to fight and the other to take a beating.
“Go on.” He gave him a push.
Zhong Minyan sank his face and said, “I’m not going! She never listens to anyone’s advice, so why must I always make go and please her?”
He actually turns around and walks away too, but in the opposite direction.
Now it’s Yu Sifeng’s turn to be dazed.
“Those two, really…” Yu Sifeng smiled bitterly and looked back at Xuanji, who was again nodding and eating her bowl, looking confused and not knowing what to think.
“Still thinking, what happened this afternoon? He leaned in and asked in a soft voice.
She hurriedly took a few bites of rice and kept saying, “No, no, I’m eating!”
Suddenly, she realizes that she and Yu Sifeng are the only ones left in the room and wonders, “Huh? Where’s Linglong and Sixth Brother?”
She really is a pig. Laughing secretly in his stomach, Yu Sifeng gave her a light pat on the back and laughed, “Left early! Just when you’re, like, dazed. It’s strange, how can you be so easy, always dazed.”
Xuanji put down her bowl and looked miserable, “I… I was thinking, if the Island Master knew that his wife was like this… what would he do? I don’t want him to feel sad, because the Island Master is a good man.”
Yu Sifeng sighed, “What else could he do? He could repudiate his wife, keep quiet, or kill his adulterer. I don’t think he knows yet. If you don’t want him to feel sad, don’t tell anyone about this. Otherwise, you and I will be in trouble.”
Xuanji followed his example and sighed, “You mean, the Island Master will be ashamed and even take it out on us?”
He nodded, but then shook his head and said, “The Island Master, not necessarily, will do anything. But if it is, Madam of the Island, then anything, anything is possible. Those who do bad things, in order to cover up, their own, bad things, will often do, even worse things, to cover up.”
Xuanji seemed to understand, and said softly, “You know a lot of things, you know a lot of truths that I have never heard before, and no one has ever told me these things. Do you think I am ignorant, obnoxious and stubborn?”
Yu Sifeng narrows his eyes, suddenly remembering the day he met his master, disoriented and waiting for the severe punishment when he returns to the palace. No one dared to plead for mercy and she was the only one who stood up for him.
He can never forget her white slim figure at that moment, like a sharp cut through the haze of the sun, fearless, crisp and clean. Her long hair was fluttering in the wind, like strands, so weak that he could break her with a finger.
But it’s only her, just her. He never thought it would be her.
He laughed and whispered, “Stubbornness, yes, some of it. But I don’t care at all,” he said.
Afterwards, his fingers touched her face as if they had touched a priceless treasure, but he dared not linger, and quickly retracted.
