Chapter 123: Do You Remember Ping?
"You've been here for so many years, didn't you expect to return to the Wing Clan?"
If I remember correctly, the priest told Yuebai that although the concubines were restricted in the temple, the priest had said that as long as they wanted to leave, they could be let go at any time with a large sum of wealth.
Ping shook her head, still looking expressionless.
"When you get used to it, besides...... My life is coming to an end. ”
She spoke softly, as if she were saying something inconsequential.
Only then did Yuebai realize that there was still a little gray hidden under her young-looking face, which was the image of a person who was dying of oil and withered in the lamp.
Knowing that she might not be able to tell the truth, Xiao Yinghuai took the lead in standing up and glanced at Yuebai: "Let's go." ”
Yuebai nodded and put down the untouched teacup in his hand.
Ping still has that low eyebrows and pleasing appearance.
It seemed that she was just standing there quietly, but Yuebai was keenly aware that she seemed to be looking at Xiao Yinghuai.
"Snowflake-sama finished asking?"
When the steward saw the two of them coming out, he greeted them with a wrinkled smile on his face.
Yuebai nodded, pulled Xiao Yinghuai and took out a small gold nugget from the purse he was carrying with him and gave it to her.
Gold is a rarity among the Treants, and the steward's eyes are straight.
"Hey, where are you embarrassed to accept such an important thing, Lord Xuehua doesn't have to come in person next time, just ask someone to tell me directly."
Xiao Yinghuai: ?
How the do you pay for it?
Yuebai patted him on the waist and whispered, "The king of a country, don't be so stingy. ”
Xiao Yinghuai: "Immediately write a letter to ask Si Yan to snatch back all the gold you sent to the Terran Palace." ”
Yuebai: ?
It's too much.
Leaving from the concubine's courtyard, after walking away, she pulled Xiao Yinghuai's sleeve: "You say, why did that Ping lie." ”
When Yuebai and Siyu met for the first time, the girl's admiration for Noah could be heard with her toes.
Where is it like Ping's mouth 'because of jealousy and murderous intentions towards the priest'.
She said that Siyu was jealous of her favor...... How I can't see it. ”
After all, in terms of appearance and personality, it is obvious that Siyu is more outstanding.
Xiao Yinghuai said meaningfully at this time: "She didn't lie when she was favored." ”
Yuebai twisted her eyebrows and looked up at his eyes.
Xiao Yinghuai glanced at her.
"Why do you look at me like that."
Yuebai: "Look when you are blind behind my back." ”
Xiao Yinghuai: "........."
"Where are you going?"
Seeing him walk out of the verandah, Yuebai opened his mouth to stop him.
Xiao Yinghuai put his hand on her hairy head and asked her to turn around: "I have something." ”
I thought that he was with him every day, after all, he seemed too idle......
"Are you going, coming back for dinner?"
She reached out and smoothed out Xiao Yinghuai's cuffs that had been scratched by herself just now.
The tone of the action is natural, and it is very similar to the ordinary couples that Xiao Yinghuai once saw in the folk.
"Hmm."
He turned his head, the fingers in his sleeve curled up, and his mood became inexplicably irritable, but he didn't want to show it in front of Yuebai.
[Walk so fast, what's so anxious.........]
...
She walked slowly back with a group of divine attendants, communicating with the system in her head.
[Have you noticed that whether it is Siyu or that Ping, these two sisters seem to be very interesting to Xiao Yinghuai]
The system corrected her fairly: [To be precise, what Siyu likes is you wearing Xiao Yinghuai's skin]
Moon White: [......... It doesn't seem like there's a problem.]
[But this matter is a little suspicious, instead of guessing yourself, you should go directly to Noah himself]
Subconsciously, Yuebai is the option to avoid asking Noah directly.
Very inexplicably, she felt that there was something wrong with Noah's eyes looking at her recently, which made her subconsciously want to avoid it.
"Noah isn't done yet?"
There is no entrance to the bottom of the tower, so you can only enter from above.
The priests manipulated the branches to send them up, and Yuebai stood on the thick branches, and there was a large leaf next to her to intimately shield her from the wind.
"At this time, the priest may still be busy, and the patriarch is here today."
Hearing this title, Yuebai subconsciously asked, "What kind of person is the patriarch?" ”
Because of the lifespan limit, the average Treant can only live for two hundred years, so the patriarch of the Treant is changed every two hundred years, and Noah, who is a priest, personally chooses him.
When the priest heard this, he said in a complicated tone: "It's a very clingy adult. ”
Yuebai subconsciously appeared in her mind the image of a girl with a petite figure and a mouth holding Noah's arm to be coquettish.
"I see."
It seems to be the type that Noah likes, after all, this person has no way to deal with people who love to be spoiled before.
That's right, I'm talking about you, Xiao Yinghuai.
"The meal that I haven't had time to eat when I went out just now is just hot, and I don't need to change it to a new one."
The priest was a little embarrassed and said, "Even if it has already been changed, I will ask the cook to make an exact one?" ”
Yuebai waved her hand, not affecting the embarrassed cook: "Forget it, change it." ”
Thinking about what she would eat later, she walked to her dormitory, after all, it was raining just now, and with her rotten body, if she didn't take a shower and change clothes, what was waiting for her was a cold.
Drying her hair, she opened the door and walked out, almost hitting her nose on her chest.
"I'll ———"
[Scare the old lady! ] 】
As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Noah's pale golden eyes.
He raised his hand and touched Yuebai's half-dried long hair, and twisted it on the tips of his fingers: "Enough playing?" ”
Yuebai was inexplicably disappointed by his eyes, and then nodded: "Hmm." ”
System: [Ask, ask, ask!] 】
Under the reminder of the system, she coughed: "That, how did Siyu die back then?" ”
She stared at Noah's expression, not letting go of every detail.
But the man in front of him blinked a little blankly.
"Who is Siyu?"
Yuebai: After all, it was a mistake.
She had imagined countless situations, but she didn't expect Noah to forget Siyu.
"That's it......... For hundreds of years, you gave a concubine to die in the dry corpse forest. ”
She tries to help Noah remember the incident.
But he shook his head anyway.
"I've killed too many people, and besides, as you said, it was hundreds of years ago, I don't remember."
Then she asked her with some doubts: "Does Xuehua know this person?" That's what you're going to the concubine for today? ”
Yuebai didn't think that she could hide it from him: "Yes, that's because of this." ”
"So you met Ping."
There was even some suspicion in his tone, as if he didn't believe that Yuebai was just going to find someone who had been dead for hundreds of years.
Yuebai raised her eyebrows and pulled her hair back from his hand.
"Do you remember Ping?"
