Chapter 711 Journey to the Mountains and Seas 19
Xiao Qi asked, "Host, what if Li Chenzhou only agrees if you release Liu Suifeng?"
“Li Chenzhou’s arrival means he has already made his decision. As for Liu Suifeng, he will not go back.” Wen Piaoran smiled, her tone resolute.
Why won't Liu Suifeng go back?
She said two words, then deliberately stopped.
"Why? Tell me quickly, host!" Xiao Qi asked curiously, scratching her head.
Seeing how anxious it was, Wen Piaoran smiled, then mischievously decided not to tell it: "I won't tell you, guess for yourself."
"Host!! You're so mean!" Xiao Qi exclaimed, jumping up and down.
Upon seeing this, Wen Piaoran burst into laughter, but remained silent.
Liu Suifeng is a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, love and hate. He can be ruthless, yet he still retains a sense of loyalty and righteousness in his heart.
He will always remember those who have wronged him, and he will remember those who have been kind to him as well.
So he promised himself that even if it was just to repay a debt of gratitude, he wouldn't go back on his word.
*
Early in the morning, Wen Piaoran was awakened by Xiao Qi's constant chatter in her mind.
After getting up and washing up, she walked to the window wearing only a plain, soft, and thin long dress.
Pushing open the window, the morning air was exceptionally fresh, and a thin mist still shrouded the mountains in the distance.
Xiao Qi said, "Host, Li Chenzhou is ascending the throne today, and he has invited the Qingyun Sect. Aren't you going to go and see him?"
"After a long journey, all I want to do is eat and drink comfortably inside, and lie down without moving." Wen Piaoran leaned lazily against the window, her expression still showing signs of weariness.
Two months ago, Li Chenzhou brought his men to Qingyun Sect. After their conversation, he went back and took action.
He was very efficient; I didn't need to help him much, and before long he had the current emperor abdicate.
It seems that Li Chenzhou wasn't without means before, but he had too many concerns.
As for Song Mingzhu, who came along, Wen Piaoran only told her to wait for Liu Suifeng to return so that he could decide whether to keep her or not.
After that, no one knows what Liu Suifeng said to her, but Song Mingzhu left alone and returned to the Power Gang.
Xiao Qi rolled her eyes: "I don't believe it. If the host wanted to go, he would tire himself out. He must be lazy."
"Shh, I don't like what you're saying. You woke me up so early in the morning, or I'll come after you."
"Haha, um, Hua Hua's looking for me, bye-bye, host." Xiao Qi said with an awkward laugh, and then disappeared.
Wen Piaoran curled her lips into a smile: "Silly."
The door to her bedchamber was pushed open, but she didn't turn around when she heard the noise. She continued to stare blankly into the distance.
Footsteps approached, and at the same time, a garment draped over her shoulder.
The person draped a coat over her shoulders and stood beside her without saying a word, simply looking out the window with her.
Wen Piaoran then glanced at him: "Yunshang will be leading people into the capital today. They should be ready by now. Aren't you going with her?"
Li Chenzhou invited many martial arts forces to the event, and now the imperial court and the martial arts world are officially making peace on the surface.
After all, his own power group is also a force in the underworld, which is something everyone knows.
Each sect always had to give face and send a representative to attend the ceremony.
“If the deputy sect leader goes in person, it doesn’t matter whether I go or not. If the sect leader doesn’t go, I won’t go either.” Liu Suifeng’s expression showed that he was following her lead.
He had agreed to listen to her in everything, and he had indeed done a very good job.
"Are you really going to be so obedient? I didn't forbid you from going, you can go."
"Is the gang leader going?" Liu Suifeng asked.
Wen Piaoran shook her head: "I don't usually like crowded places."
Liu Suifeng didn't say anything, but his meaning was clear: if she didn't go, he wouldn't go either.
The gang leader and Sister Shirong have become the emperor and empress of Da Xi.
He could meet them if he wanted to; the congratulatory gift had already been sent over. His respect for them was not based on mere appearances, but on his heart.
Seeing this, Wen Piaoran didn't try to persuade her further, and raised an eyebrow indifferently: "You can decide for yourself."
Liu Suifeng glanced at her sideways; her attitude remained a mystery to him.
When she first asked me to come to Qingyun Sect, her words and actions carried a hint of ambiguity, which I understood at the time.
But after he arrived, she actually only saw herself as a useful subordinate.
He already harbored some vague feelings for her, and as he pondered these feelings over time, they not only didn't fade but actually intensified.
Seeing that he was staring at her absentmindedly, Wen Piaoran turned around and walked to the tatami mat where a chessboard was set up: "You don't seem to be able to calm down. Want to play a game?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Suifeng pulled himself out of his thoughts and sat down on the couch opposite her. His mind was a bit chaotic, and he needed to calm down.
The two played chess quietly, and by lunchtime they still hadn't determined a winner.
Playing chess can clearly reveal a person's character, conduct, and temperament.
Wen Piaoran experienced firsthand Liu Suifeng's flawless abilities; he was indeed shrewd and methodical in his actions.
There was a reason why he had stumbled before because of himself and Xiao Qiushui.
Needless to say, she is unmatched in combat power here; Liu Suifeng cannot defeat her.
Xiao Qiushui's story is due to the protagonist's halo, as well as the difference in thought logic and knowledge between modern and ancient people.
Wen Piaoran hadn't thought about playing chess much in the previous world, so this time, he had a rare opportunity to meet an opponent, which piqued his interest.
Although he ultimately won, the feeling of meeting a worthy opponent made both of them very happy.
"You seem to be troubled by something lately?" Wen Piaoran asked casually during the meal.
After finishing the game of chess, she felt hungry and quickly asked someone to set out a meal, inviting Liu Suifeng to eat with her as well.
Liu Suifeng paused for a moment as he picked up some food, then put the food into his bowl before speaking: "Well, there are some things I can't figure out."
"If you don't mind, you can tell me and see if I can answer your question."
Upon hearing this, Liu Suifeng raised his eyes to look at her, his expression appearing exceptionally profound: "You can answer my question."
Upon seeing this, Wen Piaoran understood immediately: "It seems to be related to me. Just tell me directly."
Because she doesn't like having people around when she eats or talks with others, it's just the two of them in the hall right now.
Seemingly having made up his mind, Liu Suifeng put down his chopsticks and asked a question: "Why has the sect leader never had anyone by his side all these years?"
"They just didn't catch my eye," Wen Piaoran said casually, a smile in her eyes.
"Among the men who are close to the sect leader, only Xiao Qiushui and I are interested in him."
"No, he was a pretty good friend."
Upon hearing this, Liu Suifeng was not surprised, as he could tell that there was no special affection between the two.
He said all this only to pave the way for what he was about to say next: "And what about the sect leader's attitude towards me?"
Here's the key point: Wen Piaoran's patience during this time has been worthwhile; he's been given time to think things through.
She blinked slightly, a slight smile playing on her lips: "What does Suifeng think?"
The words "following the wind" carried a tender, lingering meaning when uttered by her.
Liu Suifeng was initially a little nervous, but he suppressed it as much as possible, so nothing showed on his face. He didn't expect her to ask him a question in return.
