My enemies became my companions

Chapter 529 I Like You the Most (Two in One)

"Is the person who was shot by the arrow okay?"

"It's okay. The wound has been bandaged and will be sent back later."

"So have you taken care of everything else?"

"Well, it's all done. Su Hongtao is eager to track down Han Xiu and doesn't know about this yet." Wei Wuque said slowly: "Maybe he will know in two days."

Chen Yi nodded slightly and said, "He will know sooner or later, but even if he knows, he can't do anything to you."

"Since the Governor is dead, it is only natural for Xi Que Pavilion to investigate," Wei Wu Que said, "You are very familiar with our style."

"I've killed many of you."

"...Don't waste the conversation, Captain Chen. You can find ugly faces like this in any county."

Chen Yi smiled and said, "It's better to just say it directly than to harbor a grudge."

"I'm fine. Most people in the Magpie Pavilion are ruthless. If the seat of the master was not vacant, I would not be able to come up." Wei Wuque smiled bitterly and said slowly: "But there are many people in the Magpie Pavilion who are loyal and righteous, but they are very good at disguising themselves."

"Understood. I won't say too much in front of others." Chen Yi said, "Let's get back to business. Su Hongtao also disguised himself very well."

"I know that Xiashui Su Clan has never neglected Xi Que Pavilion."

"I didn't neglect him, I just monitored him," Chen Yi continued, "Su Hongtao has a good reputation and knows how to adapt and get along with everyone. What this kind of person wants most is to treat everyone equally, and what he fears most is to offend both sides.

He thinks he is the buffer zone between you, wandering between the opposing sides to eliminate the conflict, but he doesn’t know…”

"Little did he know that we had you as an intermediary, and he became the clown on the stage."

Chen Yi sighed and said, "Black intermediaries are harming people."

After a pause, he continued, "After this incident, there will be pressure from the White Lotus Sect and the Magpie Pavilion. He will definitely act quickly. I will just wait for him to reveal his flaws."

"Well, don't act rashly. There are people around Su Hongtao. If he is on high alert, you will be skinned alive if you don't die."

Chen Yi accepted Wei Wuque's warning. Xia Shui Su's were good at controlling ghosts and gods. When Su Hongtao was on high alert, there were definitely more than just Jiyuan from Baolian Temple and the Judge of the Procuratorate around him.

"And..." Wei Wuque paused and said, "Now you trust the Divine Religion more than us. It's okay in the short term, but if it continues for a long time... it may become a serious problem."

Chen Yi glanced at him, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious. Those who abandoned me, yesterday's day cannot be kept. The Light and Dark Divine Sect is much more trustworthy than the Magpie Pavilion representing the Heavenly Family.

Wei Wuque smiled bitterly, not surprised by this, and said:
"I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. I don't know how you got in touch with the Divine Cult. Although the leader of the Divine Cult, Gongsun Guan, hasn't appeared in the martial arts world for a long time, he is not someone who can be easily deceived. I wonder if you have heard the rumor that even if Nan Wei is the only one left, he is still enough to look down on millions of soldiers in the world."

"Rumors are always exaggerated."

“I hope it’s an exaggeration.”

"We have to go. If we stay any longer, something bad might happen."

There is no point in talking if you don't agree. Chen Yi said that without further ado, he drank his tea and got up to leave.

Seeing this, Wei Wuque hesitated and asked: "Hey, Miss Donggong..."

Chen Yi looked confused.

"What stage have you reached?" Wei Wuque put on a serious face.

"Which step?" Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "She grasped the future."

Although he didn't understand what he said at first, Wei Wuque quickly understood it.

If you think about it carefully, Donggong Ruoshu's future is tied to the matter between men and women.

"Then I can report with peace of mind."

It is gratifying that the progress is so rapid.

We are catching them now, but I’m afraid we will just eat them directly in the future.

Wei Wuque didn't feel envious at all, firstly because he didn't have any, and secondly because he knew how difficult to deal with this stupid girl, so he gave Chen Yi a sympathetic look.

Chen Yi also knew what Miss Donggong was like.
She seemed to be able to stir up trouble everywhere, but she was also very lucky, so she would never really lose a layer of skin no matter when or where. In the end, she would escape danger and at most only lose a layer of skin...

Chen Yi pressed his head. How could he think in this way? Chen Yi, Chen Yi, you are losing your self-respect more and more.

Actually, I can't blame myself. If Miss Donggong wasn't a little stupid, she would still be very attractive...

…………

In the courtyard.

Donggong Ruoshu opened his eyes wide, trying hard to imitate the charming twinkling eyes.

She felt that she had learned about 70% of it.

Yin Tingxue was reading a book attentively. When she looked up, she saw Donggong Ruoshu approaching and staring at her.

Yin Tingxue was so frightened that she almost flew up and asked, "Sister Donggong...what are you doing?"

"Do you think I'm attractive?"

Yin Tingxue shrank back and whispered, "I don't know..."

"How can you not know? I must know. Look at my eyes." After saying that, Donggong Ruoshu opened his eyes wider, "Is there a seductive light flashing?"

Yin Tingxue took a look and it was hard to tell whether there was any light or not. It was so scary that she shook her head and said, "I didn't see any light..."

"Really?" Donggong Ruoshu asked doubtfully.

"No, don't do this, I'm scared..." Yin Tingxue got up and left.

If the East Palace is neglected, it will be clear.

It seems that the more a man can seduce men, the more he will be hated by women.

Yin Tingxue stepped back into the hall and glanced at Miss Donggong who was still practicing. Although she was not happy about the arrival of this stupid girl, she did not treat it as a great enemy. Unlike her sister Weiying, Chen Yi had been married to Miss Donggong Ruoshu, but the man was heartless and the woman was not interested. In the end, they did not even have a bridal chamber. They only had the title of being married, which was nothing to care about.

What really concerned the girl was Chen Yi's vague disdain.
He is so mean, he actually dislikes girls with small breasts...

Yin Tingxue heaved a sigh of relief. She had talked a lot with the East Palace girl these days and knew that the Chen girl was simple-minded and didn't really think about the relationship between men and women. Once Yin Tingxue asked her privately, "You don't like him, why do you want to seduce him?" As a result, the stupid girl answered as a matter of course, "I don't have to like him, as long as he likes me, I'm done."

After hearing this, Yin Tingxue sternly told Miss Donggong that being liked by Chen Yi would not have any good results, and of course, liking him would have even less good results.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The little fox is working hard to move bricks to build the pagoda.

"Miss Donggong, what are you doing?"

After an unknown amount of time, a sound was heard from the yard. Yin Tingxue looked up and saw that it was indeed Chen Yi who had returned. As soon as he entered the yard, Miss Donggong came to greet him.

The girl from the East Palace opened her eyes wide and tried her best to seduce.

Yin Tingxue trotted over, took a look, and tried to open her eyes wider.

Chen Yi was confused.
"What are you two doing?"

Yin Tingxue came back to her senses and quickly closed her eyes to relax. She almost got led astray by this stupid girl.

"To seduce you." Donggong Ruoshu said as a matter of course.

Chen Yi felt confused. The answer was of course expected, but this time he saw two people staring at him with wide eyes, as if he was possessed. It would have been fine if it was only Dong Gong Ruoshu, but Yin Tingxue was like this as well, which was really creepy.

Walking straight into the hall, Yin Tingxue hurriedly followed him and ordered tea for him. While moving her hands, she asked softly, "Is everything done?"

"Well, it wasn't a big deal."

"Oh," Yin Tingxue paused and asked, "When are we leaving Wuchang?"

"It's only been a few days." Chen Yi tilted his head and said, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Yin Tingxue whispered, "Just asking."

Of course she would not say that in Wuchang City, there was Ruo Shu in front and Zhu E behind, each of them was so big that made her uncomfortable, and each of them tried hard to seduce and tempt Chen Yi. Although Yin Tingxue's personality could get along well with others, she was also the worst at protecting her own little piece of land.

Once they arrived at Mount Longhu, with Master Zhou there, Yin Tingxue wouldn't have to face all this directly. She could just let Master Zhou take care of Chen Yi and she would assist from the side.

Chen Yi lowered his eyes and looked at Yin Tingxue. The girl's thoughts were hard to guess and he was not quite sure. He only knew that she was hiding something.

"You can always lie."

Yin Tingxue hurriedly said: "No, I didn't lie to you, I just want to go to Longhu Mountain as soon as possible."

Although what she said was true, Chen Yi knew that she had more in her heart. In the past, he would have forced her, but Yin Tingxue had always been obedient, and they were husband and wife, so she was more considerate of his feelings, so it was not appropriate to do so.

But it doesn't matter, even if he doesn't force it, he is the best at making people speak their mind. Chen Yi sneered, and didn't mind if these words were heard by Yin Tingxue.

The little fox shrank back, Chen Yi beckoned at her, Yin Tingxue walked over cautiously and was immediately held in his arms.

"You insist on going quickly, but I don't want to go quickly anymore. What should I do?"

"...We'd better go quickly...Master Zhou is still waiting." Yin Tingxue said.

"She uses the master's name to pressure me," Chen Yi frowned and said, "You little yellow-faced woman."

Yin Tingxue felt a little aggrieved: "You always call me little fox."

Seeing her tearful look, Chen Yi's heart trembled, but then he thought that he should not be shaken by her like this, otherwise what would be the difference from before.

Chen Yi patted her buttocks and said, "Go back and order some tea. I'll make the decision." Yin Tingxue didn't dare to disobey him at this time. She nodded and went back to order some tea obediently without even looking at him, for fear that he would think she was pretending to be pitiful again.

"Boy, you are so hateful." The hall was silent for a moment, and the old saint suddenly said, "A living Chen Shimei."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows, pinched his fingers to shield his ears, and said in his heart: "What Chen Shimei, don't say nonsense, Chen Shimei forgot his loyalty when he saw profit, and abandoned his wife in order to climb the power, I am at most attracted by her beauty."

"Then you are worse than Chen Shimei."

"...You talk too much, old man." Chen Yi said, "You must have become stupid in the Guan Ding."

The old saint didn't realize she was talking too much. She said slowly, "The more I look at you, the more I find this little girl likable. I've been free these days and I feel particularly warm when I see you two being so affectionate. I can't help but smile."

Chen Yi pondered for a moment and said "Oh" casually.

The old saint seemed to glance at him from the cauldron, "Then when will you bow to her?"

"…She is the only one who has to bow to me." Chen Yi said nonchalantly, "She can't control me like that anymore."

The old saint lady just chuckled, and then saw Yin Tingxue ordered tea, walked over with small steps holding the tea bowl, and held the tea bowl in front of him. No matter how cold Chen Yi treated her, he couldn't help but smile at this moment.

Through the square ground, the old woman silently gazed at the young couple, and suddenly she sighed.

All lovers in the world will eventually get married... Why didn't I encounter such a thing back then?

People are like this. Even if they have never been romantically involved, they can't help but smile when they see others being affectionate... As these thoughts passed through her mind, she suddenly felt much younger.

As her mind was in turmoil, the old saint clasped her hands together and bowed her head to pray to the Master.
Pray to the Mingzun, may He bless this couple.

After a while, Chen Yi finished the tea in the bowl.

"Chen Yi, Chen Yi, can we go out for a walk later?" Yin Tingxue spoke quickly.

After she finished speaking, she saw Chen Yi looking at her unexpectedly.

"So proactive? Normally, you would think twice before asking you to go out."

After listening to this, Yin Tingxue suddenly felt a little regretful.

Maybe I was indeed a little anxious, and kept thinking about how to find opportunities to get closer to Chen Yi and bring him back.

He likes to bully people. If you are too straightforward, he will play with you. Yin Tingxue doesn't like this about him, but there is nothing she can do about it, because they are husband and wife after all.

Chen Yi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. He was now waiting for Su Hongtao to take action, so it would be fine to take this opportunity to stroll around with her. He also happened to be meeting Zhu E tonight to discuss the next strategy.

"Okay, then let's go out."

Yin Tingxue was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to agree so quickly, but she still smiled.

.........

After taking a short break, they went out for a walk. Yin Tingxue did not waste any time. She tidied herself up in front of the mirror, put on a coat and went out. The two of them walked down the street. One tall and one short, they matched well with each other. No wonder the little fox was mistaken for a daughter by the vendor before.

During their previous travels, whenever they had some free time at a place, Chen Yi would take Yin Tingxue for a walk. It’s not that men don’t like shopping, they just don’t like the hassle. They don’t have any likes or dislikes for shopping itself, so shopping is actually like eating, it all depends on whether the woman next to you is pretty or not.

Yin Tingxue was not like other women. She did not think it was good to wander around. She grew up in seclusion and liked to stay in comfort. She only went out for a walk during festivals such as the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now she went for a walk with Chen Yi just to eliminate the awkwardness between them and win his heart back.

She just wanted him to be her second favorite.

She strolled casually along the way, visited the bustling market, and picked up a few things, but Yin Tingxue was absent-minded and seemed to be hesitant to speak several times.

Chen Yi seemed not to notice.

The old saint wanted to speak out, and her old bones looked a little anxious.

How could this man be so heartless?

After a long while, Yin Tingxue couldn't help herself and whispered, "Chen Yi, I've been a little jealous of you these past few days."

Chen Yi was slightly surprised, and looked down to see her nose twitching slightly. This little fox was always gentle, so it was unusual for her to be so straightforward, which was actually surprising.

Yin Tingxue looked up at him and asked again, "Are you unhappy?"

"Happy. I told you I'm happy if you're jealous."

"Oh...but you reacted so calmly."

"Indifferent?" Chen Yi smiled and said, "Maybe a little indifferent. Who told me that my little fox has many tricks in his mind?"

Yin Tingxue's shoulders shrank slightly. After all, she was noticed. She was speechless and felt a little guilty.

After a while, she forced herself to remain calm and said, "You already call me a little fox, how can I not be more thoughtful? Don't you like people who are thoughtful?"

"Okay, I don't like you anymore."

"Then can I share some of my love with you?"

Chen Yi paused for a moment and looked back at her.

The calmness in her eyes was a little frightening. Yin Tingxue flinched, but thinking of what happened last night, she mustered up the courage to say:
"I like you the most, as long as you like me second."

"Look at what you said, I'm making a lot of money?"

"No, no way?" She pinched her cuffs, feeling a little embarrassed.

"There are many women who like me," Chen Yi thought for a moment and said, "Is it okay if the third one likes you?"

"what?"

"Look, my master is needless to say. There is also Yin Luanhuang, who is as good-looking as you, but has a better figure than you. We are a perfect match."

Yin Tingxue thought for a moment and said, "Then third place is third."

Chen Yi walked a few steps and suddenly asked, "Is it okay for the fourth one to like you?"

Yin Tingxue was stunned.

"Besides the two of them, there is also Qin Qingluo. She gave birth to my children. How could I mistreat her? Even if I mistreat her, would you have the heart to watch me mistreat her?"

Yin Tingxue thought so too, so she had to humble herself and said, "Then fourth is fourth."

"I'm afraid the fourth one won't work either," Chen Yi slapped his forehead and thought of something and said, "The fifth one will like you."

Yin Tingxue's eyes widened.

"Min Ning has known me longer than you, and he is half my master. Thinking about it this way, Zhu E has also helped me a lot, and will take care of our children in the future... Is it okay for Qiqi to like you?"

Yin Tingxue was silent for a moment.

Chen Yi waited for a while but received no reply, thinking that he might have bullied her too much.

At this time, everyone would hold the girl's hand and coax her with a word or two. Chen Yi was no exception. When he was about to reach out his hand, Yin Tingxue shrank back and put her hands behind her back.

Chen Yi burst out laughing and was about to laugh it off, but the girl still stepped back.

Yin Tingxue took a deep breath and said calmly:
"Mrs. Lin is shy, and if she doesn't like me more, she might not be able to marry me, so can No. 8 like me? Imperial Concubine Dong is from Korea, and she is unfamiliar with the Central Plains, and might be insulted, so can No. 9 like me... Chen Yi, you might as well just not like me!"

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

I have been so gentle these days that she has actually become a little tough.

He sneered and said, "Then I don't like you. I will treat you like a maid all the way."

"Yeah." Yin Tingxue nodded.

"I want you to serve tea and water, and rub shoulders and backs." Chen Yi said coldly.

"Yeah, I know both."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "I can bully you however I want."

"Well, I'm willing to fight and be beaten."

"Tsk, why are you so tough? I'm going to have a big party next time."

"Well," the girl hesitated but remained calm, "I have experience."

Chen Yi said no more now. People were walking on the street. White hot steam was rising from the steamed cake stalls along the road. A few children ran past them holding windmills. He just went his own way. Yin Tingxue followed closely behind him, but she had no intention of giving up.

He ignored her, and she felt a little sad and sad in her heart.

The couple just stayed like this for a while.

Passing by the market entrance, the straw sticks hung with candied haws catch your eye.

The usually strong man suddenly stopped, took a cigarette, threw the copper coins, turned around and said with a smile:

"Please have some candied haws and stop being angry with me."

Covered with brown sugar, it looked bright red and tasted sweet and sour. Yin Tingxue stopped and said after a while:
"I knew it…"

"what do you know?"

Yin Tingxue burst into laughter and said, "I know that when you said you didn't like me, you liked me the most."
