The young man looked like he had just woken up. He was in a furry sleeping robe and his black hair was disheveled. He took a sip of tea and gazed at Nangong Lie who was standing before him, his narrow eyes as clear as a spring. He did not even give a single thought before giving him a kick.

Of course, he did not kick him for real.

Or else Nangong Lie would not be able to dodge it.

But this action alone was enough to make Nangong Lie cry out loud, “Ah Jue, how could you! Is this how you treat your brothers!”

“Sorry, I wasn’t fully awake yet,” the young man said in a deep voice, looking down lazily at the man who was lying on the ground.

Nangong Lie was speechless.

Not fully awake yet?

The coldness in your eyes almost froze me to death, yet you said that you were not awake yet? I’m not a fool you can lie to!

“Ah Jue, we’ve known each other for seven years.” Nangong Lie knew that he could not beat him so he started flas.h.i.+ng the friends.h.i.+p card, “It’s been seven years. How many seven years does one have? You can’t do this to me! You have to let me know the truth before I die!”

Baili Jia Jue looked at him and smiled slowly, yet there was no laughter in his eyes, “You look like you’re quite close with the person that I sent to you.”

Nangong Lie was smart, he shook his head immediately to save himself, “No, no, no! What you saw was just the outer appearance! In fact, we are not really close, not at all!”

“Why did you give her flowers?” The young man sounded a little indifferent.

But Nangong Lie noticed that his left fist was clenched tightly, so he started to clear his name, “That was because I wanted to thank her, it was her idea to give flowers. I was originally planning to give the flower to someone else.”

“Do you mean Qing Zhan?” The young man said calmly, gazing back at him. The resentment that had been on his chest for so long finally faded a little.

However, Nangong Lie looked like he had seen a ghost, “How, how did you know?”

The young man snickered schemingly, “It’s been seven years. Of course I have to be concerned about my only brother.”

Nangong Lie, “…”

d.a.m.n it!

I don’t need your concern at all!

Don’t tell me that you were the one who talked bad about me to Little Qing Zhan!

These thoughts crossed Nangong Lie’s mind, and his handsome face was filled with grief, “What are you trying to do? Please get to the point.”

“Nothing.” The young man continued to give him some clues, “I noticed that you have been so carefree for the past two days, going out of the palace to pick flowers and whatnot. So I figured you might prefer some excitement in your life.”

Shadow, who was standing outside the door, raised his head in silence, …I bet n.o.body would like this kind of excitement.

On the contrary, Nangong Lie did not a.s.sort to self-pity, instead, he put two and two together. All of a sudden, an evil grin appeared on his face and he placed his hand on the young man’s shoulder, “Ah Jue, you should have told me earlier. If I had known that you’ve fallen in love, I could have lent you a helping hand a long time ago.”

The young man gave him a sideways glance, his gaze casually sweeping over his hand.

Nangong Lie felt chills all over his scalp, so he drew his hand back immediately.

The young man brushed his clothes, spoke in a n.o.ble and virtuous voice, “Don’t think too much, that woman has rubbed me the wrong way, that’s all.”

“Speaking of which, what is going on between you and that woman?” There was a certain playfulness in Nangong Lie’s eyes, “She doesn’t tell me anything no matter how I ask her.”

The young man raised his head and gave him a look, speaking unhurriedly, “She had stolen something from me. I’ve been searching for her for eight years just to get it back.”
