”If anyone else says a few words, they will be angry. Either the Regional Commander will be drowned in saliva, or the Regional Commander himself will die of anger. There is no need.” Wei Yi picked up the wine cup beside him, took a sip, and suddenly exclaimed: ”Good wine.”

Wangchuan truly was unable to see through Wei Yi.

In Wu Chuan's heart, he was also the kind of person who didn't need a reason to take a person's life. Now, he truly understood that he was just a person that overturned all of her impressions of him.

”A thousand years is truly enough to see through the world of mortals.” Wangchuan replied.

Even though they had only known each other for a short period of time, and even though Wangchuan understood that Wei Yi's nature was not bad, and was not as brutal as the rumors claimed, he was definitely not some ordinary person. If he was a good person, then Wangchuan's eyes would not have been cut out alive back then.

As for why Wei Yi had saved her back then, even he didn't understand.

He lowered his head to look at the beautiful red flower on Wei Yi's sleeve. However, what was strange was that this flower did not even have a single leaf. Furthermore, its petals were in a bizarre shape as well.

Without even thinking about it, Wu Chuan asked, ”A thousand years, what flower is this? Why is there no leaf? ”

Wei Yi followed her gaze and lowered his head. It was only then did he realize that she was looking at the mandala flower on his sleeve. He tilted his ear and said, ”This flower is the Flower of Hell.

Wu Chuan kept feeling that he had heard those words somewhere before, so he mumbled to himself, ”Flowers and leaves never meet …” Isn't that too bitter? ”

”Bitterness naturally comes with bitterness. When the flower blooms, the leaf wilts. When the leaf grows, the flower wilts.” Wei Yi sighed, and continued to say in her heart: ”If you don't want to see love, why not suffer?”

Just like now, although Wei Yi and Wu Chuan were clearly familiar with each other, they couldn't recognize each other.

The surrounding crowd wasn't as noisy as they were before. Although they didn't focus all of their attention on Wei Yi, there were still some people who spoke of the famous nobles of the kingdom that didn't say a word.

For example, someone's son had been caught doing something in the brothel … Wait a minute.

Initially, they thought that these officials were all clean and honest, and didn't wish to have anything to do with dirt and filth. But from the looks of it, that wasn't the case.

They were clearly no different from the citizens of the city, but they often looked at them with a superior attitude.

Having followed Gu Zheng for so many years had given him a great deal of attention.

Before this, every time Gu Zheng received a gift in the moonlight, it was all in piles. Initially, he thought it was just a form of condolences, but he accepted some of it and in the end, no matter how many he received, he returned as if it had never happened.

But Wei Yi was different, he didn't have a single one.

They probably treated him like a Shura and didn't even dare to take a step forward.

However, this was good as well. He was free and had nothing to show for it.

”...”

When Wu Chuan and Wei Yi spoke, their mouths were practically touching each other's ears. This scene was extremely sweet in Gu Zheng's eyes.

Gu Zheng's heart couldn't help but burn with anger as he pinched the joints of the wine cup until it turned white.

Raising his head, he drank all the wine in his hand in one gulp. Then, he placed the wine cup on the table. The wine cup collided with the table, giving off a ”peng” sound. It was a true shock to the ministers beside him.

”Master Gu, why is your anger so great?” The nearby court official was greatly frightened by Gu Zheng's actions. He raised his goblet and toasted Gu Zheng, but was rebuffed by Gu Zheng with a single glance. His fierce gaze was like a silent sharp sword, as if he had cleaved the person in front of him into two.

That person bitterly turned his head, not daring to make another sound. He even warned the court official beside him in a low voice, ”Today, Lord Gu is in a bad mood. Don't get involved.”

Wei Yi still kept all of Gu Zheng's smiling expression in his sight as he deliberately approached Wangchuan and whispered into her ear, ”It's only now that we've discovered that you're dressed very beautifully today.” Wei Yi even placed his hand on Wu Chuan's shoulder, purposely teasing her by her ear. ”This Regional Commander really likes it.”

Wangchuan was frightened stiff by Wei Yi's unrestrained movements and his undisguised words. It was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he had lost his consciousness. His face still carried a slight blush, as if flowers had bloomed on his face.
