Chapter 2161: Pouring Wine (2/2)

She couldn’t get why w.a.n.g Han respected this guy at all. The queen was smart enough to know better. How did this brat convince her otherwise?

Li Qiye wasn’t surprised by her response and said: “If it wasn’t for w.a.n.g Han, you wouldn’t have the fortune of today. Come, pour my drink already.”

She nearly vomited blood from anger, especially because of his lazy and relaxed demeanor. Everyone would want to punch this annoying face.

“General Chu, please do it.” Yang Shengping handed her the pot and blinked at her repeatedly.

This wasn’t an attempt at pleasing Li Qiye or to take her down a notch. He did it because he was aware of Li Qiye’s true ident.i.ty.

Shengping wasn’t a big shot at Insane Court but he was aware of her potential and wanted for her to become a True Emperor. After all, as a member, he wanted the court to grow stronger. That would only make the future more promising for Grand Sword.

Shengping didn’t want a seed like her to be destroyed here. That might be the result if she were to anger Li Qiye. This was why he handed her the cup. It was a signal, an attempt to help the court’s future.

Li Qiye naturally understood this and only smiled.

She had an illusion while holding the wine pot. This feeling was too strange; it all felt so natural as if this was how it should be. Her pouring the wine for Li Qiye wasn’t something out of the ordinary at all.

Meanwhile, Li Qiye continued to do his thing over there with Sijing.

Qingling stared at him and asked herself: ‘Is this guy mad?’

But he certainly wasn’t crazy. That relaxed demeanor couldn’t be from a madman. What else could he be though? He had the composure of someone who wasn’t afraid of Mount Tai falling down.

A madman wouldn’t be respected by the queen whose abilities she knew too well. w.a.n.g Han must have reasons for doing so.

Li Qiye tapped on the table and ordered, interrupting her train of thoughts: “To the brim.”

The girl seemed to be possessed and actually walked up next to him, pouring wine into his cup. Every action felt so natural. She was no different from a maid serving him, and he was fully deserving of this blessing.

The atmosphere resembled the flow of water - in accordance to the order of this world. No one should be surprised by this scene.

Anyone else would find this treatment from her a supreme honor, but not Li Qiye. His presence here made the unreasonable reasonable, the illogical logical.

After pouring several more cups, she finally escaped from this stupor and gritted her teeth from anger. Since when did she follow orders like a maid? His att.i.tude as if this was completely normal infuriated her even more! She was ready to take this anger out on someone.

1. A word is missing for the realm of the late emperor. I’m guessing it is Saint, could be King as well but that seems too weak
