Free Web NovelChapter 1408: Chapter 468: Indirect Kiss, Anger
Xuanwu City is really small.
Ye Lingyue silently cursed in her heart; encountering two annoying people in one day is quite nauseating.
The originally fragrant tea suddenly became difficult to swallow.
She heavily placed the teacup down, prepared to leave.
But Xi Jiuye stepped forward, walked to her table, his icy eyes stared directly into Ye Lingyue’s.
"Is anyone sitting here?"
Ye Lingyue and Hong Mingyue, along with others behind Xi Jiuye, were all stunned, especially the few from the Northern Territory Thirteen Riders, who were all murmuring inwardly.
What’s wrong with Master?
He usually hates dealing with mortals, even when he’s with Third Young Master Jin and those people, he always takes a table to himself, never sitting with them.
Among everyone, he only showed a slightly warmer attitude towards Miss Ming Yue, but even then, it was neither cold nor warm.
Hong Mingyue also felt uncomfortable upon hearing, as she was ordered to approach Xi Jiuye.
Xi Jiuye’s attitude towards her was quite decent, but he never showed any sign of romantic feelings.
But why, when he met Ye Lingyue, did his attitude change so much?
Actually, not only Hong Mingyue and the Thirteen Riders, even Xi Jiuye himself couldn’t quite understand his mentality.
He came to the Human Realm, repeatedly reminding himself that it was to find the Jiu Provinces Cauldron and improve the Northern Territory’s situation, but deep down, there seemed to be a different voice.
This voice was especially clear when encountering Hong Mingyue and the dark-faced woman before him.
These two women, one looked very much like Ye Ling, the other’s gaze was quite similar to Ye Ling.
If we really discuss resemblance, then Hong Mingyue resembles more, and after spending a few days with her, Xi Jiuye discovered that Hong Mingyue’s meticulous thinking, intelligence, and tender care towards him were even better than Lan Chuchu.
But for some reason, he just couldn’t completely see Hong Mingyue and the former Ye Lingyue as one.
Thinking of these, Xi Jiuye’s gaze deepened further.
Ye Lingyue rolled her eyes, prepared to refuse, but seeing that the tea shop was indeed crowded and her table was the only one with vacant space,
"The table is narrow, can’t fit."
Ye Lingyue glanced at Xi Jiuye’s four guards behind him, such a formation, seemed even more imposing than her, the City Lord.
"You four, sit on one side."
Xi Jiuye calmly sat directly opposite Ye Lingyue, Hong Mingyue smiled and sat beside Ye Lingyue.
"Sister, long time no see."
Hong Mingyue’s tone had just dropped, Ye Lingyue spat, spraying everything on Hong Mingyue’s face.
The tea residues made Hong Mingyue’s face sting with pain.
Seen disgraceful, never seen one this disgraceful.
One dies several times yet remains unscathed, still flaunting a face similar to yours, calling out "sister" with a smile you would use.
Ye Lingyue suddenly felt like seeing a ghost, yet she couldn’t expose it.
Hong Mingyue’s powdered face stiffened, Xi Jiuye raised an eyebrow.
"City Lord Ye, this behavior is quite ungentlemanly."
"Heh~ what sister, what City Lord Ye, saying like we’re very familiar with each other." Ye Lingyue sneered, wiped her mouth, all her good upbringing swallowed by those surnamed Hong dogs.
"Not acquainted without fighting, we’ve fought twice."
Xi Jiuye leisurely took the teapot from in front of Ye Lingyue, pouring a cup of tea for everyone.
"Dear sir, did you lose your memory, or did you lose your memory? I don’t! Know! You!"
Ye Lingyue swiftly slapped away the cup Xi Jiuye handed over, standing to leave.
But a hand abruptly reached out, grabbing her wrist, the fingers tightening one by one, as if imprisoning not just Ye Lingyue’s hand but her soul.
"Do you dislike me?"
Xi Jiuye’s tall figure blocked Ye Lingyue’s path.
Due to losing his parents at a young age, the Divine Master of the Northern Territory had always been sensitive.
He could sense that City Lord Ye had animosity towards him.
Actually, he had merely passed by Xuanwu Street and unexpectedly discovered her.
Watching Ye Lingyue chat casually with Jia Fugui, that inconspicuous dark face paired with those crescent moon-like eyes made her exude an indescribable charm.
But why does she turn into a prickly hedgehog upon meeting him?
Yet to touch, she seemed eager to pierce him full of holes.
Xi Jiuye’s fingers were icy but strong, stubbornly grasping her hand.
An handsome, indifferent man facing an ordinary woman created such a unique scene, instantly drawing the attention of other tea shop patrons.
"It’s hilarious, you think you’re a Spirit Stone, that everyone would fancy you?"
Ye Lingyue forcefully shook off Xi Jiuye’s hand, leaving a red mark on her wrist.
Just a barbarian, Ye Lingyue shot him a knife-like glance, threw a Spirit Stone on the table, and walked out.
Seeing the red mark on Ye Lingyue’s wrist, Xi Jiuye did not stop her after all.
Hong Mingyue sat quietly beside, without a word.
Seeing Hong Mingyue’s obedient demeanor, Xi Jiuye remained silent, sitting down, yet in the spot previously occupied by Ye Lingyue.
He casually picked up a cup of tea, taking a sip.
"Brother Xi, that cup of tea..."
Hong Mingyue gently called, Xi Jiuye looked down, realizing he drank from the cup previously used by Ye Lingyue.
He froze momentarily, a faint fragrance slowly suffused through his mouth.
From the depths of Xi Jiuye’s heart came an unexplainable tingling sensation; he stared at the teacup, suddenly realizing he drank from her cup, which meant... fingers seemingly still carried the soft touch of a woman’s skin, causing Xi Jiuye’s ears to turn suspiciously red.
"Master, it’s been brought back."
Just as Xi Jiuye held the teacup, unsure whether to place it or drink it,
one rider from the Northern Territory Thirteen Riders entered, delivering a bottle of Huangquan Water.
It turned out that Xi Jiuye, passing through Xuanwu Street, sensed a peculiar energy fluctuation, which originated from the Huangquan Water sold by Jia Tianxia Chamber of Commerce.
Xi Jiuye studied the Huangquan Water, his Divine Sense quickly discerning its peculiarity.
"Do you know that person just now?" He hadn’t misunderstood, Hong Mingyue called her sister.
Hong Mingyue hesitated slightly.
"I know her, she’s my half-sister."
"Does she know medical skills?"
Xi Jiuye asked another question.
"She’s an Alchemist, seems quite good at medical skills."
Hong Mingyue carefully answered, deliberately omitting Ye Lingyue’s name, recalling Ye Huangyu, the vile woman, was previously gravely injured, rumored to have been healed by Ye Lingyue.
"If this water was refined by her, her medical skills might be more than just good."
Xi Jiuye thoughtfully examined the bottle of Huangquan Water.
