Chapter 382: 211. Lin Qingque’s Consideration_2
He knew that if he told the truth, it would definitely make her angry.
Yet, he had no choice but to do so.
Suppress it until the suppression reaches its limit, then release it.
By that time, everyone would get what they wanted.
Only then might they be able to understand each other.
Xu Yuan’s gaze gradually became serene.
...
“What are you doing here?”
He took a deep breath, just as he was about to complete the task assigned by Tian Liuli, a cool and pleasant voice flowed like a stream.
Xu Yuan turned around, his eyebrows slightly raised.
“Who are you?”
Standing in front of him was a woman in white, beautiful with a delicate face and flawless jade-like cheeks, though a bit too pale, and her aura could not be well concealed, as if she had been badly defeated in a great battle.
“Let me introduce myself.”
The woman in white smiled lightly, “Holy Sect, An Yulan.”
An Yulan?
Xu Yuan’s expression remained the same, but he was slightly confused.
Who is she, and what does she want with him?
Seeing his composed appearance, yet clearly unaware of her identity, An Yulan wasn’t too surprised.
Given her status, those in the sect who could access her information would definitely have to be Elders or Sect Leaders above the Primordial Spirit True Person level.
“Miss An, do you have business with me?”
Xu Yuan nodded calmly, offering a courteous smile.
“If there’s nothing, I need to hurry and buy some candied hawthorn sticks for my wife.”
An Yulan was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this.
She gazed at him silently for a while and then smiled with raised eyebrows, “No matter, sir, please proceed. I merely spoke because you remind me of an old acquaintance.”
Xu Yuan hadn’t expected to hear such an answer.
It was somewhat puzzling.
“Since there’s nothing then, I shall take my leave.”
After he left, a woman in black with long hair stepped out from a hidden spot, confused she asked, “Holy Maiden, aren’t you planning to reveal your identity to him? Weren’t you planning to use him to broker cooperation with Mr. Mo?”
As Xu Yuan disappeared into the distance, An Yulan shook her head, “No rush, and besides, using him as a stepping stone to reach Qianxian carries certain risks.”
“Risks? How so?”
The woman in black couldn’t comprehend.
She was somewhat unable to keep up with An Yulan’s thoughts.
Only a moment ago she had independently determined that Qianxian had a certain fondness for this junior brother; now, even after confirming it, she was suddenly in no hurry to use this relationship, instead mentioning risks? Why?
An Yulan smiled faintly, but did not elaborate.
Tian Liuli was silent.
Then, in the midst of the night, suddenly, a glow like a returning radiance lit up.
“You, when did you come back?”
Her voice trembled imperceptibly, her pale ears flushed red, like the lantern in the hands of a girl with budding affections at the Lantern Festival.
“Probably since a cup to the foolish self.”
He was not laughing, yet it was clear he was smiling.
“Why didn’t you use the door when you came back?”
She clenched her fists, her shoulders trembling slightly.
“Actually...”
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yuan still said, “You were looking at the back door.”
“...”
Tian Liuli took a deep breath, suddenly feeling that her action to retract her Divine Sense to avoid knowing the outcome too soon was the stupidest thing she had done in her life.
“You still know how to come back?”
The next moment, she spoke coldly, her words unrelated to the previous topic, “I asked you to buy sugar-glazed haws, how long have you taken? Hmm?”
“...I was wrong.”
Xu Yuan raised his hands in surrender, “I didn’t see anything just now, I also don’t know anything about a cup to...”
“Hmm?”
“I don’t know anything, the cup on the ground was broken by a crow.”
“Knowing you’re wrong, aren’t you going to cook now?”
She took a deep breath and still maintained a stern face as she spoke.
“Alright.”
Xu Yuan turned around, but then suddenly stopped his steps, then, she heard him whisper, “Thank you.”
The reason he had returned so late was that he had encountered Liu Ruoxue and Jing Lixue on the way.
To appease the two, he also spent a considerable amount of time.
It was at that time that he understood her intentions.
She had undone all the shackles to see if he still had any chains.
“No need.”
Tian Liuli’s voice was so light it seemed as if it would scatter at the slightest blow of wind, “I just didn’t want something to be mixed in, that’s all.”
She just wanted to have a pure life, existing solely between the two of them, nothing more.
Until the gate squeaked shut, smoke rose from the chimney, Tian Liuli silently walked to the table, picked up the glistening sugar-glazed haw, looked at it for a long, long time, and then smiled.
The evening breeze was gentle, stirring her gown, the mist seeming to drift through the wind, leaving behind dewdrops.
