Chapter 368: A Lover
After the meeting, the people in the hall left one after another.
Although there are many people who hope that there will be a better result after this merger, Bai Ze's words have inspired all those with lofty ideals.
Ambition is dangerous, Bai Ze knows it. After all, when a person is ambitious, they are likely to be willing to do anything for power; This, in turn, can lead to betrayal. He didn't pay much attention to that, though.
If someone is bold enough to attack him, then what awaits them will be an extremely tragic fate. Bai Ze believed that most of his men knew this fact, and if they didn't, then make an example of everyone and let everyone know the fate of the betrayer.
Just as Bai Ze was about to leave, Shangguan Bingxue walked up to him.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ze didn't look at her, and asked after packing up some documents.
Shangguan Bingxue looked at Bai Ze, no one knew what she was thinking. After a moment of silence, she finally said calmly, "Thank you for appointing me. ”
Bai Ze chuckled, didn't look at her, and put the documents into the small cabinet next to him. Then he looked at her and said with a slight smile: "Don't think too much, the title and position I gave you are all you deserve." You and Wu Yijun have both made great contributions to the camp. As a leader, I can't be stingy, can I? ”
The corners of Shangguan Bingxue's lips turned up slightly, and there was a playful glint in his eyes. She looked at Bai Ze like a naughty little fox and said with a smile: "Chief? Aren't you a king? ”
Ahem!
Bai Ze cleared his throat and walked towards the door. He didn't look back, and with a hint of self-deprecating mockery, he said, "It's better to be the robber leader than the king." ”
What king has only such a few subjects! His territory is only a few villages in size! No matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't call yourself a king at this time!
Then, Bai Ze disappeared directly outside the huge wooden door.
"Robber Leader...... Hahaha, I think that's the right thing to call too. Even though Shangguan Bingxue was the only one left in the hall, she still muttered softly and giggled.
Her laughter was clear and soothing, like the clear water of a river, flowing gently among the colorful rocks, while the smile on her always cold face was like the sun after a storm, illuminating the world with a brilliant rainbow.
Shangguan Bingxue looked at the place where Bai Ze had just disappeared and stood dumbfounded for a while.
"What is it about our princess that fascinates us so much? Is it because you like someone? ”
Wu Yijun entered the hall and looked around with a faint smile on his charming face. She didn't find the person she was looking for, and a look of loss flashed in her eyes.
She had already left, and she had planned to wait for everyone to leave and come back to chat with Bai Ze, because she knew that Bai Ze would not leave until she finished sorting out the documents. However, he didn't expect to leave so soon.
Shangguan Bingxue looked at Wu Yijun and was a little surprised when he heard her words. Shangguan Bingxue's eyes widened and she said dumbfounded: "Do you think I will have someone I like?" ”
"Hehe......" Wu Yijun came over and gave her a hug, smiling like a happy baby.
Shangguan Bingxue watched her best friend's every move, crying and laughing. If someone sees it at this moment, they may even think that they haven't seen each other for a long time.
"What's wrong? So happy all at once. Shangguan Bingxue asked suspiciously. As if thinking of something, she suddenly blurted out: "It's because Bai Ze ......"
To be honest, even she herself was surprised when Wu Yijun announced that Bai Ze had awarded her such a high position. Although Wu Yijun was now a first-order existence, Shangguan Bingxue knew that the contributions made by her good friend so far were not enough to sit in such a high position.
Now, seeing Wu Yijun so happy, Shangguan Bingxue naturally came to a conclusion that something must have happened without her knowledge.
"No...... It's not like that. Wu Yijun blushed slightly, although Shangguan Bingxue hadn't finished speaking, it was easy to understand what she meant.
Her heart pounded at the thought of this, which only made her more sure of her feelings. This also made Wu Yijun determined to fight for his feelings no matter what.
"Then why are you so happy?" Shangguan Bingxue asked in astonishment.
Although Wu Yijun has always been cheerful and kind, at this moment, she exudes happiness and joy all over her body!
Wu Yijun finally broke free of Shangguan Bingxue's embrace, and said with a smile: "It's nothing...... This is the longest I've been with him. Although most of what we are talking about is just work...... But I will also cherish the little things together. ”
“…… You're not really in love, are you? Shangguan Bingxue sighed, a trace of intricate light flashing in his eyes.
She grew up with Wu Yijun, and although they couldn't meet for different reasons many times, the relationship between the two was always so close. Shangguan Bingxue knew that Wu Yijun's suitors were so many that they could be lined up several kilometers away. In college alone, there are countless men who have pursued her.
Wu Yijun smiled with a hint of bitterness and said softly: "I remember telling you two years ago that I doubt that I will never fall in love with anyone. You also know that my family has already arranged everything for me, and thousands of excellent men are around me, but look at me now...... But I always care about a man who has just met for two months. ”
Shangguan Bingxue looked at Wu Yijun and let out an incomprehensible sigh. Not to mention Wu Yijun, even she herself was surprised by this change.
After a short silence, Shangguan Bingxue said in a somewhat awkward tone:
"Bai Ze, this guy...... It's a bit unusual. ”
Wu Yijun looked at her with wide eyes in surprise, puzzled: "When you were in Beiying, did something happen?" ”
Wu Yijun felt very strange that a person with an indifferent personality like Shangguan Bingxue would show such a complicated expression. What's more, she made such an expression for a man!
With her cleverness, she naturally immediately came to the conclusion that something must have happened when Bai Ze and Shangguan Bingxue were in Beiying two days ago.
"That's ......" Shangguan Bingxue heard his friend's question, and hesitated for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Seeing the hesitation in the eyes of the good sisters, Wu Yijun's eyes flashed with a strange light. Just when different thoughts came to her mind, Shangguan Bingxue finally spoke.
"Definitely. A lot has happened. ”
Shangguan Bingxue sighed and began to slowly tell what happened on the first day they arrived in Beiying.
From encountering a hungry mother and daughter, to encountering a goblin raid as they prepare to leave.
Shangguan Bingxue recounted in detail what had happened in the past ten days in Beiying, but only skipped the boring trip to the south.
"Bingxue, you ......" Wu Yijun looked at her with wide eyes and reprimanded, "You don't fully trust him, how can you put yourself in that situation?" ”
Wu Yijun was talking about Shangguan Bingxue eating the Thunder Light Fruit and being in a coma for 24 hours. Although Wu Yijun is full of confidence in Bai Ze, Shangguan Bingxue is different from her!
"I had to." Shangguan Bingxue shook his head lightly and slowly explained, "Bai Ze is too powerful. Moreover, his personality can make people unconsciously open up to him. That was my final test for him. ”
Although Shangguan Bingxue said it very indifferently, Wu Yijun had known her for many years. As she said her last sentence, Wu Yijun noticed a subtle change in her eyes.
Wu Yijun stepped forward, gently hugged Shangguan Bingxue, looked into her eyes, and said with a smile: "It seems that Bai Ze did not disappoint you?" ”
Let her down? Shangguan Bingxue smiled.
"Not only did it not disappoint me, but it surprised me." She said in a crisp voice, glancing at the doorway to make sure no one was eavesdropping. That's why I said that this man was very unusual, and his personality was often cold and sometimes cruel...... However, he also has his own pride......"
……
"Huh? You told him about your past? A hint of surprise flashed in Wu Yijun's dark eyes. Have you even told him about your father? ”
Shangguan Bingxue nodded calmly, not caring about the word father at all. Even if she hated that man, she couldn't deny that he was her father.
"That's not all." Shangguan Bingxue leaned against a large pillar and said, "Thanks to him, I don't hate that man so much." I can't forgive him now, but I don't want to kill him as much as I used to. ”
In the past, Shangguan Bingxue had thought about bringing down his father and taking everything away from him. She never thought of killing him, because even if Xuanyuan Jingcheng's status as the lord of the country was aside, his own strength should not be underestimated.
However, when the end of the world broke out and the soul record appeared on Earth, the possibility of evolution appeared in front of her eyes, and Shangguan Bingxue no longer restrained herself. If she gains enough power in this chaotic world, she will be able to take that person's life and death into her own hands.
But her conversation with Bai Ze changed her initial thoughts.
