Yong'an Prince Residence.
Xiao Se took off his full length fox fur and changed into an azure python robe, gathering his sleeves over his hands. He looked up at the falling snow in the sky, and nobody could tell what he was thinking.
Lei Wujie stood beside him and reached a hand out to fiddle with Xiao Se’s new clothes. "One of them is called White Prince and he’s always dressed in white. The other is called Red Prince and he likes to wear red. You like wearing azure clothes, why weren’t you conferred the title Azure Prince?"
"Where could the scroll be?" Xiao Se said softly.
"Are you still thinking about the scroll?" Lei Wujie brushed off the snow that had fallen on his body. He was still wearing that red shirt, just like the first time he met Xiao Se. "What are you planning to do once you get the scroll?"
"What we do when we get the scroll is not important. What’s important is what other people will do when they get the scroll." Ye Ruoyi walked out of the house. "Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, the appearance of this scroll may become a reason to force the Emperor to abdicate. Yesterday, the Eunuch of Seal, Jin Yan Gonggong visited the General’s Residence. After he left, Father also left Heavenly Revelations. I suspect there’s some connection between these two."
"Isn’t the General on our side?" Lei Wujie asked.
"Ye Xiaoying is a very ambitious person." Xiao Se used his name directly. "And he has also realised that I’m not someone he can easily control."
Lei Wujie looked at Ye Ruoyi who remained impassive and thought about Xiao Se’s words again. He scratched his head. "This Heavenly Revelations City is really more troublesome than the martial world."
"How is it troublesome?" Sikong Qianluo leaped over the roof eaves with a spear in her hand and swept in from the outside, stirring up the snow on the ground. She waved her spear and said, "When an enemy comes, we fight. When ten enemies come, we fight. When ten thousand enemies come, we fight. Who’s scared of who."
"Qianluo-shijie, sometimes I really envy you." Lei Wujie grinned.
Sikong Qianluo didn’t understand. "Why do you envy me?"
"Thanks to you, I don't have to look like the most brainless one here," Lei Wujie said.
"You're dead!" Sikong Qianluo raised her spear and chased after him. Lei Wujie grabbed his sword hurriedly and ran.
"Qianluo seems to like you very much," Ye Ruoyi said quietly.
Xiao Se didn’t bat an eyelid. "Lei Wujie likes you very much."
The corners of Ye Ruoyi's mouth raised slightly. "I didn't expect someone like you would also dodge the topic."
Xiao Se lowered his head slightly. "I was just thinking that you’re wrong."
"Oh?" Ye Ruoyi was surprised.
"I don't think she 'seems to like me'. She really likes me, not seems to," Xiao Se said calmly.
Ye Ruoyi exhaled a loud sigh. "Xiao Se, you’ve changed your name, but you’re still as shameless as when you were younger."
"As for Lei Wujie, he seems to think you like me." Xiao Se looked at Lei Wujie who was being chased by Sikong Qianluo, yet he still occasionally turned his head over to look at them.
Ye Ruoyi shook her head. "You’re more shameless than when you were younger."
"But I know you like him too. Since the day you danced with him in Snow Moon City, I could tell you liked him." Xiao Se laughed. "You should know, I’m very accurate at reading people."
"Then, can you read yourself accurately? Do you like Qianluo?" Ye Ruoyi asked.
"In the current Heavenly Revelations City, where the situation can change drastically at any time, we’re here discussing romance. If this gets out, we’d be the joke of the town."
"You're dodging the topic again." Ye Ruoyi sighed.
"If I were interested in romance, I'd have taken a consort four years ago. Don’t underestimate me," Xiao Se said wryly.
"You just can't answer my question?" Ye Ruoyi wasn’t going to let it go.
Xiao Se brushed off the snow on his shoulder. "Even after living in the south for so long, I never developed a habit of bringing an umbrella."
Ye Ruoyi was watching Sikong Qianluo who was being subdued on the rooftop, and muttered, "Narrow waist, slender legs, ample chest, small face, fair complexion, beautiful features, with a little willfulness. She can be considered as one of the best in the world."
"Your tone sounds like one of those lechers appraising the prostitutes in Drunken Dream Pavilion," Xiao Se said wryly.
Ye Ruoyi tapped her chin with a finger, "If you continue evading my question like this, I can only conclude with my second hunch."
"What hunch?" Xiao Se asked doubtfully.
"The one you like is…" Ye Ruoyi pointed at the one in red clothes on the roof eaves. "Him."
"Bah!" Xiao Se spat angrily. "Ye Ruoyi, you insult me."
"So, do you like Sikong Qianluo?" Ye Ruoyi goaded patiently.
Xiao Se suddenly raised his head and yelled, "I like!"
Several layers of snow on the roof eaves fell from the tremor.
Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie turned their heads at the same time, looking at Xiao Se.
Sikong Qianluo was confused. "What do you like, ah?"
Lei Wujie looked at Ye Ruoyi and thought to himself, Could Miss Ye have confessed her feelings for Xiao Se?
Xiao Se was stunned, his face even blushing slightly.
Ye Ruoyi, standing beside him, was shaking with mirth.
This scene from Sikong Qianluo’s point of view was Xiao Se shouting "I like", followed by Ye Ruoyi giggling so furiously she couldn’t control herself, and then Xiao Se blushed, unable to say another word. Jealousy rose in her heart, and she grabbed her spear to hurry over.
"Now that da-shixiong is not around anymore, I’m your shijie. How has your training been recently? I’m going to test you one by one!" Without saying another word, Sikong Qianluo smashed down at Xiao Se’s head.
Xiao Se hurriedly grabbed his Wuji staff to block but was forced to retreat over ten steps by the spear move that was filled with wrath. He barely managed to steady his footing before he felt a surge of heatwave behind him. He whipped his head around and saw Lei Wujie coming at him with his sword. He dodged quickly and retreated another ten plus steps, staggering on his feet and almost falling.
Lei Wujie slowed down slightly, then raised his sword again and slashed down. "You didn’t keep your word!"
Ye Ruoyi, who knew the whole story, covered her mouth and laughed.
In this Heavenly Revelations City where they were surrounded by murderous intent from all sides, there were always such pure and simple moments, moments that could only belong to youths.
Red Prince Residence.
Xiao Yu eyed the incomparable beauty in front of him and exhaled a long drawn sigh. "The first time you met me, I was already enthralled by you. But in your heart, you only have that brute. That makes me feel so regretful."
The beauty in front of him appeared somewhat lifeless, and she looked at Xiao Yu with bewilderment.
"She’s still like this. She’s kept her beauty, but not the charm or grace. Long Ye, I’ll have to make the genius doctor Ye work a little harder. I want her to forget him, but remember everything else, instead of this puppet on a string." Xiao Yu reached out a hand and caressed the delicate cheek of the beauty. "I want a whole and original Yue Ji."
Long Ye nodded hurriedly. "The genius doctor Ye said he will do his best."
"Is there no news of that brute? I really made the wrong decision that time." There was something fiendish in the Red Prince’s tone.
"Even Your Highness Red Prince is weak to beauty?" Within the house, the visitor who had arrived suddenly had appeared without being noticed.
The Red Prince chuckled, still looking at Yue Ji. "Otherwise, why would we vie for all under Heaven?"
