Chapter 1059 – Sugared Plums

With just a glance, Xu Yourong could tell that Yuren did not like her.

Yuren calmly gazed at her. He said nothing, because he could not speak.

Xu Yourong mocked herself, ”I always believed that everyone liked me.”

It was a rather cute phrase.

Yuren smiled.

But the laughter in his eyes was rather faint, or perhaps indifferent.

Xu Yourong looked into his eyes and suddenly smiled.

Because she understood why Yuren did not like her.

Tonight's events had probably already been sent into the palace. Yuren probably knew that Chen Changsheng had truly gotten angry.

In his view, these matters had been instigated by Xu Yourong.

So he did not like her.

Upon understanding this, Xu Yourong realized that she did not need to ask any further questions.

Yuren truly did regard Chen Changsheng with great importance, just like Chen Changsheng did for him.

These martial brothers from Xining Village were just like brothers by blood, perhaps even closer.

Xu Yourong's smile was very beautiful, because she had always been very beautiful.

And this was a sincere smile.

Whether it was the effect of her beautiful face or her sincere smile, the indifference in Yuren's eyes somewhat decreased.

”Yes, he doesn't like being Pope, and he did not have the ability to choose in this matter.”

Xu Yourong went on, ”I was different. When I was five, the Empress and Master gave me a chance to choose. This was a choice that I made, and it has already become my habit, so it is more suitable for me to do what comes next.”

What would happen next?

Firstly, it was naturally a continuation of this conversation.

Xu Yourong very casually took a seat across from Yuren.

Yuren used his right hand to push over a small plate.

Xu Yourong realized that the plate contained sugared plums.

Yuren in no way seemed like a person who liked eating sugared plums, so perhaps these were meant for the eunuchs and maids?

Xu Yourong did not think this was a disgrace. On the contrary, she knew that this was an expression of Yuren's kindness.

Though the method he used to express his kindness was, just like Chen Changsheng's, rather awkward.

She used her fingers to pick up one of the sugared plums and pop it into her mouth, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

Yuren smiled, also very satisfied.

Xu Yourong said, ”I do not cultivate the Dao of the Orthodoxy's legitimate line. Up until today, I also do not quite understand what Chen Changsheng means by following his heart. As a result, I can't understand the relationship between you disciples and your master. Across the entire continent, it's probably only you three that understand it, but the problem must still be resolved.”

Yuren calmly gazed at her, using his eyes to inquire as to how she planned to resolve it.

”It's very simple. You martial brothers will work together and invite your master to retire.”

Seeing as her mouth held a sugared plum, Xu Yourong's voice was rather garbled.

But the meaning she wanted to convey was clear, as sharp as the edge of the temple sword.

A gasp could be heard from the shadows of the hall, like someone had eaten an extremely sour plum.

Xu Yourong's expression did not change. It was evident that she already knew someone was there.

Yuren shook his head at the shadow.
