Ming Li rose from the chaise longue and said speechlessly, "What did that old man come for?"
As a foodie, the system was clear on the matter. It said to Ming Li, "Host, he's here, he's here! He's come to freeload your peach blossom wine again!"
Ming Li: ...She didn't think Xing Zhi Lin was that kind of person. How could a dignified general stoop so low for a jar of peach blossom wine and come to her place to beg for drinks.
System: Host, you don't understand. A foodie will do anything for food...
Ming Li frowned slightly but said nothing. She got up and went to the reception hall.
Knowing that Xing Zhi Lin liked to drink tea, Lan San specifically had a maid serve the finest tea for guests. However, Xing Zhi Lin only took two sips before putting down his teacup, his brow furrowed, his face filled with disdain.
Xing Zhi Lin: ...Why did he ever like drinking this kind of thing?!
(⊙o⊙)
Ming Li strode into the reception hall and immediately saw Xing Zhi Lin, whose brows were creased like a mountain range. She then looked at the tea on the table, which had barely been touched. For a moment, Ming Li felt that the system might have a point.
Seeing Ming Li's tall figure entering, Xing Zhi Lin stood up from his seat and said, "Prince Yu, you..." wΑp.kanshu伍.net
No wine! Before Xing Zhi Lin could finish, Ming Li said expressionlessly.
Xing Zhi Lin was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he said again, "Prince Yu, do you think this general is the type of person who would travel all this way for a cup of wine?"
Ming Li looked at Xing Zhi Lin with an expression that said, "Go on, keep lying, I'm just standing here watching you perform." This made Xing Zhi Lin's mouth twitch violently, and his expression almost gave way.
Ming Li: Then what is General Xing's business here?
Seeing Ming Li ask, Xing Zhi Lin's expression instantly turned serious, and his tone was cold. "Prince Yu, do you know that after you left that day, we encountered a group of assassins on our way back to the capital?"
Hearing this, Ming Li's face showed no change, and without even raising an eyebrow, she said, "This King knows. Lan Yi told this King."
Picking up another cup of tea from the table and taking a sip, Ming Li looked at Xing Zhi Lin with a faint gaze and asked knowingly, "Then has General Xing investigated who was behind those people?"
The mountain range on Xing Zhi Lin's brow deepened. He slammed his hand forcefully onto the table and said gruffly, "If this general knew who it was, do you think he would still be alive?"
Ming Li's face remained calm, but inside, she was internally screaming.
Yes, they would! Why wouldn't they? That's the male protagonist, the son of heaven's will. Ten of you wouldn't be a match for him. So, just blow your trumpet. If you dare to go, you might end up miserable.
Hearing Ming Li's internal monologue, the system in the space complained speechlessly, "Host, you have so much drama?!"
Before the system could finish speaking, it was horrified to find itself unable to speak. Moreover, the space around it instantly turned pitch black, giving it a strangely familiar feeling.
After a moment of stunned silence, the system finally realized that it had been silenced and locked in the dark room!
ヽ(ຶ▮ຶ)ﾉ!!!
Damn it! Host, you can't play fair! What did it do wrong?! Why is it being treated like this?
Is it the distortion of humanity, or the decay of morality!!
