Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 663: Solo Talk (Seeking votes at the beginning of the month!)

Li Xianfang also looked like she had just woken up. She was wearing a cotton robe and her hair was not tied up.

"Now?" Pei Ye looked up at the sky again.

"Well, His Highness came back late last night and went to bed after taking a bath, so he didn't ask me to disturb you. But just now His Highness called you, saying that you should not have slept yet, so he asked me to come and invite you." Li Xianfang was also a little hesitant, and tried to make his words clear, looking at Pei Ye, "Young man, are you going... No, you must go."

Pei Ye gave her a thumbs up, went back to the hall, put on a robe, and followed Li Xianfang to the main hall.

When he entered the main hall, it was dark and there were no candles. After passing through the corridor, there was no sound of people. He walked all the way to the outside of the bedroom. Li Xianfang stopped, looked around hesitantly, and did not move.

Pei Ye glared at her and whispered, "Won't she come out to see me?"

Li Xianfang looked at him with an aggrieved expression.

"Then, shall I go in?"

Li Xianfang frowned and pondered for a while, finally nodded secretly at him, and then immediately looked down at the ground.

"..." Pei Ye turned back, "I'll go put on two pieces of clothes."

Li Xianfang was startled and quickly turned around, grabbed his wrist, and looked at him pleadingly.

"I can't... Do you know what she did last time..." Pei Ye explained with his eyes wide open.

"How long are you going to whisper to each other?" A quiet voice came from the hall.

"..."

"..."

Pei Ye straightened his body, coughed twice, and knocked on the door: "I am Pei Ye Yingxuan."

"come in."

Pei Ye gently pushed the door open and walked in. He immediately smelled a few whiffs of faint fragrance. The air was filled with light mist from Boshan Mountain. The hall was too quiet. Pei Ye stepped on the soft carpet and felt like he had turned into a kitten.

After turning a few folding screens, a bed with a curtain stood under the window. Inside, a vague figure was leaning on the pillow with his head down, his body still covered by a thick quilt.

Pei Ye stopped three feet outside the curtain.

"Please move a seat yourself. There is tea on the table."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Pei Ye moved a seat and sat down as he was told, but did not touch the tea.

"I let you out for a day. Did you have fun?"

"Happy." Pei Ye paused for a moment, "Your Highness, do you mean that from now on I can only leave the palace when I need some fresh air?"

The figure behind the curtain moved: "Why, is it hard for you to stay in the Red Mirror Palace?"

"No. Although I am away today, I am still thinking about you."

The man nodded slightly behind the curtain: "Today I have finished the matter with Yu Sicheng, and I have been thinking about the matter of Luoshen Palace. I have not been able to sleep. Since you are awake, I might as well call you over to have a chat."

Pei Ye thought to himself that this guy was really talking nonsense. He had been talking all the time in Xichi just now, concentrating on comparing which one was more delicious, fried cake or soft cake. Now he was thinking diligently again.

He really wanted to lift the curtain to see if she was blushing, but this was just a thought in his mind. He said indifferently, "Your Highness, you have worked hard."

"Not bad."

"Does Your Highness have any clues about the Luoshen Palace?"

"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't."

"Ok?"

"Today I received a reward from the Immortal Terrace." Li Xizhou said, "In short, the door to the Luoshen's former residence can no longer be opened except with my mother's promise."

"..."

"I do believe it, otherwise Yu Sicheng wouldn't have to go to such great lengths... In fact, I even suspect that even if he succeeds - the kind of success he thinks he has - he still won't be able to enter that door." Li Xizhou said, "Because his mother must know him well enough."

The method used by Yu Sicheng was actually the promise of Luoshen in essence - she promised the desperate people to take the hope she gave them and leave through her home, so Yu Sicheng wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. But since Wei Qingju left this gap, wouldn't he have thought that someone would take advantage of it?

Perhaps the dead queen thought of everything, and all the efforts of future generations were just a slight sneer in her eyes.

"It can be confirmed now that there is a fairy power buried deep in the mirage realm. The Prince of Yan's Mansion has been planning for many years, trying to dig it out in secret. I think they are not able to move freely in the mirage realm, and may have encountered some difficult obstacles." Li Xizhou said slowly, "And in my mother's Luoshen Palace, there is the power to pass through the mirage realm... the so-called prince of the spiritual realm."

Pei Ye thought for a while: "So, if I want to enter Luoshen Palace now, only Luoshen can agree... What is her promise and where is it?"

"I do not know."

"..."

The figure behind the curtain was quiet for a while, then moved slightly and said softly: "So, I wonder if my mother really left it to me."

"That's what you said before." Pei Ye said, "You said 'Mother left it to me only, and Yong Yu and the other two couldn't take it away', and 'As soon as I saw the palace, I knew it was waiting for you to enter'."

"Yeah, that's what I said before." Li Xizhou repeated.

"But I'm afraid that's not the case," she said.

"That's the fact." Pei Ye said.

"..."

"Okay." She said, "In fact, this was a belief and hope for me before. Now that it really needs to be verified, I can't help but feel panic. After all, I have never...really seen her."

She probably noticed the weakness in her words, so she took her arms out of the quilt and stretched them, smiling slightly: "Anyway, leave this matter to me. I have some ideas and I am also looking for a way in."

"Your Highness is wise and brave, and he will capture us easily."

Li Xizhou smiled and turned over in the quilt: "Come here."

"……what?"

"I said, come closer." The hazy figure behind the curtain leaned sideways with his chin in support. Pei Ye could make out the curve of the chin and the messy hair.

Pei Ye was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked over to the curtain. The smell of burning incense faded, and another fragrance gradually came to his nose. There were no candles in the hall, and the only way to see things was by the dim and soft white moonlight. This gauze-like curtain was like the moonlight itself.

"Lower yourself. Do you want me to look up while I talk to you?"

Pei Ye then squatted beside the bed.

At this moment, he felt his own heartbeat. With only a curtain between them, he and the woman looked at each other. Her body was curled up in the thick quilt, with only her head exposed. "Do you think I would call you here in the middle of the night if I didn't tell you to?"

"……without."

"Come closer," she whispered.

Pei Ye's throat moved and he moved forward. He had already touched the soft bed and smelled the warm fragrance of the bedding.

"Because there is something you have to do." As she got closer, her voice became softer, and her dim eyes behind the curtain made it impossible to look away.

"what's up?"

Li Xizhou stretched out a naked arm from behind the curtain and reached out to the boy's chest and abdomen. Pei Ye subconsciously wanted to step back, but the hand had already reached into his collar and grasped the arm under his robe.

Then Li Xizhou stretched out his arm and pulled him closer.

Pei Ye was a little breathless at this time, and the face behind the veil was vague. The woman's voice was still soft, with a small piece of shoulder and half of the neck exposed. She looked at him and whispered, "Someone wants to kill me."

Pei Ye's heartbeat suddenly stopped.

"Every time I walked by the water today, Li Yan verified that there was a pair of eyes staring at me." Li Xizhou said, "They are looking for, or waiting for an opportunity... just like they did to assassinate my mother 23 years ago."

Pei Yejian was still hanging under his robe. He didn't say anything, but subconsciously held her slightly cold hand. He stood up beside the bed, looking very tall.

"I know." He whispered.

Just like they would rather kill Yu Sicheng than let him get close to Luoshen Palace, the other party had been lurking and planning for dozens of years, and was also coldly watching them, the later destroyers. Twenty-three years ago, they dared to kill the queen of the dynasty, so naturally they would not be intimidated by a princess now.

"I don't want to stop." Li Xizhou said, "I will continue to do what I should do. I will leave Zhujing Palace and the palace. Everything this spring is important. I will not be afraid of anything."

She looked at him: "I still don't know how they succeeded in Mingyue Palace...but I give myself to you."

Pei Ye gently squeezed her hand again, put her arm back into the quilt, and wrapped himself in his robe: "You go to sleep, I'll sit outside on the steps."

"Ah."

Pei Ye took a step back and straightened the curtain. He watched the woman lie back down, her face becoming a shadow on the pillow again. He turned around and left the bedroom.

Yes, the reason why the "Queen of Kirin Blood" case assigned to him by the Immortal Terrace has not yet been written into a closing document is precisely because of this missing link.

He Wujian approached Mingyue Palace from the mirage realm, but Mingyue Palace was not in the water system.

Unlike the Fantasy Tower, there were no lakes or ponds in that land, whether then, now, or in the past. He Wujian could come to the outside of Mingyue Palace without leaving any trace, but how could he pass Yue Muzhou's perception and suddenly appear in Wei Qingju's bedroom?

According to the description in the "Spring of the Fourth Year of Suolin·The Case of the Assassination of the Queen in Mingyue Palace" written by the old man himself, Pei Ye believed that He Wujian appeared directly in the bedroom from the mirage, otherwise Grandpa Yue would not have been so slow to react... But there is no water in the mirage, so how did it spread to the shore?
Even after getting "Finding the Ferry in Luochuan", Pei Ye still couldn't find the secret method, so this link couldn't be connected and the conclusion of the case couldn't be written for the time being, which was the little tail he and Li Yan talked about.

Pei Ye came to the steps and sat down with his sword in his arms, thinking of Yong Ji's words "I dare to kill anyone, and you dare not put down the sword even if it is placed on your neck", and the chill and anger in his heart surged up at the same time.

"Young Master Pei... aren't you going to sleep?" Li Xianfang, wearing a warm robe, walked over from behind.

Pei Ye turned around and smiled: "I'll sleep here from now on."

"what?"

"Ah."

Li Xianfang hesitated for a while, walked over, looked at his face, and asked cautiously: "You, you behaved badly and were kicked out by His Highness?"

“……” Pei Ye slowly turned his head and looked at her.

"If...if...I can help you find some picture albums, books and paintings." The dancer whispered, "Don't be discouraged..."

"Li Xianfang."

"what?"

"When you are young, your blood is not yet stable, so be careful about sex." Pei Ye looked at her calmly, "I give you this advice, you should remember it well."

"..." Li Xianfang frowned blankly, then lowered his head, "Yes."

What does it have to do with me? She thought a little aggrievedly.

……

……

"The Longhu Sword Contest is held every year and is completely open to the public. It is the largest sword-fighting event in the capital. Although gatherings like the Chang'an Spring and Winter Sword Contest are of a higher standard, they are invitation-only and often do not announce the winners and losers to the entire martial arts world. They are only circulated among the swordsmen in the capital." Qi Mengchen said as he walked down the street in the morning, "But the Longhu Sword Contest is held outside the capital, so sect members or independent people, famous or unknown, can all participate."

Su Xingke curled his lips: "That means we are going to beat up some boring people."

"It's to fight a lot of 'boring' people." Nan Guannu smiled and said, "This sword meeting usually lasts for twenty to half a month, so that people can catch up no matter they go early or late. There are no rules. There are thousands of people, many sword fields, and they fight for several days. Whoever fights well will naturally become famous by the Dragon Lake, and then more people will come to watch you, and more powerful people will come on stage to fight with you."

"This kind of venue is the safest for us. You want to fight Jingzhe Sword Collection, but there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Shenjing City. It's not easy to win against famous people, and it's hard to avoid running into hidden dragons when fighting unknown people. It's hard to recover after two or three defeats." Nan Guannu continued, "Longhu Sword Club will fight dozens or hundreds of games, and eventually a top 100 list will be drawn. Names and origins will be recorded. The seven of us are carrying the title of "Shaolong Jade Sword Book". If the seven of us are in the top list, the name of the sword book will naturally stand firm, which is for the long-term planning of Shaolong Jianghu."

Su Xingke muttered, "How can there be so many hidden dragons? I am still a hidden dragon."

Nan Guannu glanced at him and said, "Really? Then why didn't you take first place in the Jade Sword Book?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people walking side by side were all shocked.

Cui Zijie smiled and said, "I like the way Brother Su has forgotten the pain after his wound healed. Four months ago, he was stepped on hard by an unknown person, but he has forgotten it the moment he turned around."

Su Xingke glared at him, rubbing the hilt of his sword with gritted teeth: "Do you want to fight?"

Qi Mengchen turned around and said, "I heard that the number one also came to Shenjing at that time."

She looked at Nan Guannu, but Nan Guannu was only looking at the buildings on the street, as if he had forgotten the topic she had mentioned.

After a while, she turned around and said, "Tomorrow at the Lu family's sword competition, let Zijie and Zuosheng take part. We don't need to bring the best swords we have left, we can just go and watch."

"It would be too cowardly not to bring a sword." Su Xingke frowned again.

But no one responded, so Qi Mengchen said, "Okay."

Yan Bingjian also said: "Okay."

In addition to the five people on the Wuyun Tower that day, Zuo Sheng also came to Mingzhu Waterside, and Yan Bingjian also came to Wujian Blessed Land. Thus, four of the top five in "Jade Sword Book" came, and seven of the top ten came. This was their first appearance after the sword book was completed, and they vowed to make a name for themselves.

Of course, reputation must be based on strength. As the saying goes, you should eat according to the size of the bowl. Nan Guannu is very clear about the upper limit of his group. Even Su Xingke, who has the most potential, can hardly bring surprises that go beyond expectations.

But at this moment, she looked up at the sky just rising in the morning. Her face looked normal, but there was some hope beating in her heart.
