Chapter 162 Green Vines: Heart Palpating with Excitement

While Feng Luodi was feeling disappointed with herself, Situ spoke out, as curt and to the point as always. He also expressed their wish to aid the Demonic Sect in breaking away from their predicament.

Shangguan Yan's att.i.tude was even more firm and even nastier to Situ than she was towards Feng Luodi.

Feng Luodi glanced to the side slightly. When she noticed Situ's eyebrows trembling and his gaze on Shangguan Yan carrying a faint killing intention, she hastily went forward and tugged on his arm while giving a meaningful look to Lu Buping who was grieving over the loss of his charming looks. Lu Buping finally understood and immediately began talking about the pros and cons of the plan. He was planning to sway her with emotions and reason.

Unfortunately, Shangguan Yan did not buy it at all. She did not even listen to his explanation and continued to beat into Lu Buping.

Feng Luodi tried repeatedly, wanting to let Shangguan Yan sit down to listen to their explication properly. After all, this matter would only benefit the Demonic Sect and they would not lose anything at all. Normally, no matter how much they did not like the people in the court, as the Supremo of a sect, she should at least cordially sit down to discuss such proposals before she rejects it, right?

Situ's fury and killing intent increased. All the Covert Guards in the dark were petrified and Lu Buping had also felt that. He was inwardly very bewildered about Shangguan Yan's behaviour today. Although their supremo usually had a short fuse and did not regard anyone highly due to her proficient martial arts prowess, she was definitely someone who understood reason. Otherwise, the Demonic Sect also would not be feared by the Righteous White Path people to such an extent.

Shangguan Yan pretended that she did not feel that killing intention and even found a few sect disciples to exchange blows with Lu Buping. Situ finally turned to leave, flinging his sleeves in distaste. Feng Luodi had no choice but to follow him.

Only after the courtyard became peaceful did Shangguan Yan's expression vanish. She was sincere and natural. On top of that, with her beautiful looks, she was an entirely different person from her unreasonable appearance just now.

Lu Buping sighed helplessly. ”Supremo, what exactly are you planning?”

Shangguan Yan ruffled her long hair. It was a simple action, but when she did it, it was alluring. Lu Buping felt helpless. Qi'er followed by the Supremo's side. Please don't let her pick up these habits.

”You dare to display such a repugnant expression?” Shangguan Yan's arched eyebrows were knitted slightly as if she was going to flip out again.

Lu Buping hastily escaped into the room but was called by Shangguan Yan. ”Buping, is the yamen fun?”

Lu Buping turned his head around. When he saw the sly look in Shangguan Yan's eyes, he instantly had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Feng Luodi followed Situ and they returned to the main streets of Dingtao City. They were surrounded by pa.s.sers-by and it was bad for Feng Luodi to speak in an overly blunt manner. She glanced at Situ's expression and suddenly giggled.

Situ gritted his teeth and said a few words, ”Feigning madness and playing the fool.”

Feng Luodi furrowed her eyebrows slightly. She had also seen through that.

”This is the first time seeing someone not buying what you say to such an extent.” Feng Luodi chuckled as she shook her head and walked with Situ in the direction of the yamen.Situ pulled a long face again. Only after quite a while did he faintly say, ”You are the first one.”

Feng Luodi's smile at the corner of her lips immediately stiffened. She raised her hand to fiddle with her sleeves, attempting to gloss over this matter. ”What are you going to do next?”

Situ would not let Feng Luodi off so easily. In front of all the commoners around them, he hugged Feng Luodi, jumped onto the rooftop and returned to the yamen from the sky.

The feeling of lounging on a human deck chair was naturally better than that of a roller coaster. As Feng Luodi enjoyed the feeling of not needing to walk, she also did not forget to thump Situ playfully.

”If you do this again next time, I'll make sure you stay far away from me.”

Situ lowered his head to look at her. His face which had relaxed was much more gentle. ”You sure?”

Feng Luodi glared at him but her face blushed extremely red.

Only after they arrived at the yamen, landed on the ground and stood steadily did Feng Luodi mention about the matter just now. ”The good thing is that the imperial decree does not have a fixed deadline. It's better for us to think of other methods.”

”We don't have much time,” Situ suddenly said. He turned towards the main entrance of the yamen and listened with rapt attention.

Feng Luodi also faintly heard the noise coming from outside the main entrance and felt puzzled. Didn't the commoners promise a month as the deadline? Why did they come to the yamen again to make a scene?

At this moment, the First Prince hastily walked in from the main hall and did not even pause when he pa.s.sed by the two. He was muttering to himself and his tone sounded quite impatient. ”This bunch of people from the jianghu are simply unreasonable!”

Feng Luodi immediately thought of the Righteous White Path sects such as Qing Cheng Sect, Kun Lun Sect, E Mei Sect, which were rus.h.i.+ng towards Ding Tao Province while that episode with the First Prince's fervent speech about how there would be no jianghu if there was no kingdom remained fresh in her memory.

Feng Luodi suddenly wanted to experience the scene of the First Prince's verbal battle and persuasive speech. She had only taken two steps when she was brought back by Situ. He grasped her hand as they walked towards their courtyard. ”You don't need to worry. His Highness will be fine.”Eh? Feng Luodi wanted to cry but had no tears. She was not worried about the First Prince's safety.

Despite her desire, Feng Luodi followed Situ to return to the courtyard. The two of them sat beside the stone table and it was unknown if they were expressing their love or talking about the case.[1]

After a while, Situ suddenly remarked, ”Luodi, you haven't played the zither in a long while.”

Feng Luodi's hand which was holding the teapot paused but a helpless expression slid across her lips. ”I can't calm my heart.”

Green Vines, Resonance and Sonorous. She was only short of three before she could go home. She intentionally did not seek out news regarding these three Guqins as she wanted to accompany Situ at his side when he was facing hards.h.i.+ps and perils. At the same time, she also wanted to see how fate was like. If she did not deliberately do anything but still obtains the Guqin, then that would mean that it was fate for them to be apart, despite their deep feelings.

Situ did not know about the complex thoughts in Feng Luodi's mind. Once the zither was mentioned, he became interested and quickly went into the room to bring out a zither and placed it in front of Feng Luodi.
