After hearing what Ye Yu said, Xuan Yi's eyes immediately darkened.
"Liao Qing asked you to mention it?"
"..." Ye Yu was stunned by Xuan Yi's eyes for a second.
Remembering the whereabouts of the two people behind him when he followed Xuan Yi to the archery stand, Ye Yu looked at him again without avoiding, "I overheard it when Lord Liao and my brother mentioned it."
Xuan Yi didn't answer any more.
Ye Yu lowered his eyes slightly, and at the same time asked the system in his heart: "How does Ye Xiaojun call Xuan Bin?"
"'Uncle Xuan'." The system didn't dare to delay, so it quickly replied.
"..."
Ye Yu raised his eyes and smiled, "I know that Uncle Xuan has always disciplined his nephews very strictly. If His Majesty is inconvenient to speak, I can persuade you." After a short pause,
Ye Yu added, "My brother has traveled abroad for many years, and he is not close to Uncle Xuan. He is far less able to speak than I am. Your Majesty knows that."
Xuan Yi clenched his slender fingers and palms under the sleeves of his robe into fists.
He rolled his eyes sideways.
"...no need."
Ye Yu was stunned.
If she had thought that Xuan Yi really hated that kick before, then a row of question marks had already appeared in her heart—according to her understanding of Xuan Yi, this person definitely did not distinguish between personal hatred and blood hatred character,
How could it be possible to give up such a great opportunity to benefit because of a small matter
The system was even more anxious: "Master Host, what should I do?"
Ye Yu came back to his senses, lowered his gaze, and said in a low voice, "I'll listen to Your Majesty."
"..."
After getting off the carriage and returning to the bedroom, the system kept asking questions in Ye Yu's ear.
Ye Yu was so annoyed by being entangled, she raised her head and glanced at the figure walking in front.
Then she lowered her gaze again.
"Who said that if I go to talk to Xuan Bin, I must have Xuan Yi's consent?"
The system froze: "Then why does the host..."
"I just need to let Xuan Yi know how I know about this." Ye Yu's lips moved upwards.
"As for the others... Princess Ye Xiao likes Xuan Yi and can do anything for him—is there a few people in the magic city who don't know about this?"
"So that's how it is!" The system suddenly realized, and then doggedly said, "The host is really wise."
The fact that Qi Song was reprimanded by Lord Ye Xiaojun for offending His Majesty the Demon Emperor, spread in the Demon City within a few days.
Even Ye Yu in the palace could hear the voices of the palace people discussing this matter from time to time.
However, instead of stopping all of this, she let it develop.
After these rumors became more and more intense, Ye Yu picked a sunny day and informed Ye Sheng, his coachman and guard at Ye Wang's mansion in advance. Go to the General's Mansion.
Until he walked into the backyard led by the concierge of the General's Mansion, Ye Yu also had systematic chatter in his ears:
"Is the host really not nervous? According to the character setting, even if Xuan Bin can't be called cunning and cunning, he is definitely ruthless... The more you think about it, the higher the risk index of this task. If you are not careful, you will end up with two dead bodies. Master Host, should we first consider making a perfect plan...or at least increase the probability of success?"
"..." Ye Yu endured all the way, his forehead was twitching a little. "If you can shut up, the probability of success should be much higher."
System: "The host has clearly never seen Xuan Bin's appearance, why is he so calm and calm? Even if you don't consider the possibility of being discovered, this is an unbalanced negotiation..."
"If you mean my cultivation and status with Xuan Bin, then I can only say that I have met this kind of meeting many times."
"Huh?" The system was surprised.
Ye Yu was helpless: "How can I say that I have also been in the external relations department for two years. Do you think that the various event sponsorships, naming rights, daily campus booths, and promotions are all sent to you by the sponsors?"
"Don't talk about the new partners we seek every year, just want to continue the cooperation with the merchants we have cooperated with before, from the direct event funds to the finalization of the details of the booth promotion, it is impossible for us to be evenly matched with each other at any time status."
The system seemed to be a little confused, and rarely said a word.
Ye Yu was too lazy to talk too much.
She looked at the approaching bamboo forest, squinted her eyes and smiled softly.
"So, among the factors that determine the success of the negotiation, evenness of power is not the most important thing, the most important thing is...mutual benefit and win-win."
Finally finding an opportunity to intervene, the system quickly asked: "The host means that Xuan Bin also has an interest in Xuan Yi's trip to the palace?"
"Of course." Ye Yu said. "Although the original book did not specifically mention the negotiation process of Ye Xiaojunzhu—but do you think this little princess is very active?"
The system honestly gave a negative answer.
"So, since she was able to 'persuade' Xuan Bin, there is only one possibility, that is, this matter is actually what Xuan Bin wanted."
"..."
The system pondered.
Until Ye Yu stepped on the path among the bamboo forests, the system suddenly called out excitedly—
"Ah, I see! It's the underground palace!"
Ye Yu raised the corner of his lips, "Yes, according to the plot in the book, Xuan Bin probably didn't know that Xuan Yi ran into him by coincidence after being abolished until the last part of the text. In Xuan Bin's view, Xuan Yi should know nothing about the underground palace, so for so many years he has only secretly sent people to search around inside and outside the magic palace, and he has to be careful not to alarm the owner of the underground palace. Xuan Yi..."
The system cheerfully continued the second half of the sentence: "So this is a chance for Xuan Bin to find the underground palace!"
Ye Yu nodded seriously: "At least he thinks so."
After pondering for a while, Ye Yu looked in the direction of the Demon Palace, and pursed his lips lightly.
"I'm also a little curious... Xuan Yi, who is supposed to be ignorant of all this, may have already guessed the reason why Xuan Bin treats him strangely for so many years?"
"..."
The "negotiation" with Xuan Bin went more smoothly than Ye Yu imagined.
After half an hour, she had already walked out of the General's Mansion.
The concierge respectfully sent her off behind her.
Standing beside the carriage with the banner of Prince Ye's Mansion, Ye Sheng pushed open the door of the carriage for Ye Yu.
"Princess, do you want to go back to the palace?"
"No, just take me back to the palace."
Ye Yu stepped into the carriage.
Ye Sheng, who was standing outside the car, responded, a little regret flashed across his face.
The doors close.
In the carriage, just as Ye Yu was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, he heard the system that had been excited for nearly half an hour because of "mission completion is imminent" speak meanly:
"Master host, this Ye Sheng likes you."
Ye Yu didn't even lift her eyelids.
"He likes Princess Ye Xiaojun, not me, so what does it have to do with me?"
"I heard from other systems that when the hosts live in the original world characters, they are most likely to be seen by people who like the original characters."
"Oh," Ye Yu didn't respond, "Then it seems that his affection for Ye Xiaojun is just superficial."
system:"… "
"However—" Ye Yu suddenly opened his eyes, "Besides you, how many other systems are doing harm to the world?"
The system is vague: "There are still some."
Ye Yu: "...then why did I get on you?"
"A system is responsible for a small world in the book."
The system shrank back aggrieved.
…
Ye Sheng, who was driving the carriage, was a cultivator in the young state, and the carriage in Ye Wangfu was considered a half-dharma weapon, so it didn't take long for him to carry Ye Yu back to the palace.
The carriage could only go outside the gate of the inner palace, so Ye Sheng stopped the horse in advance.
Ye Yu got off the carriage, sent Ye Sheng away, and entered the inner palace gate alone.
The guards on both sides of the palace gate looked at her hesitantly, and finally they all bowed down to salute.
"... something seems wrong."
Ye Yu calmed down his sloppy look, and asked the system, "Did any major events happen in the palace before and after this episode?"
The system quickly searched the database, and finally denied it definitively: "No, this paragraph was all mentioned by the author."
Ye Yu felt a feeling of self-compassion in his heart.
The system sensed it, and couldn't help wondering: "Why is the host so sad?"
Ye Yu sighed.
"I always feel that the plot is so...a little bit off."
system:"… … "
After a while, Ye Yu sighed again when he saw the figure standing outside the door of the palace.
—
Sure enough, her premonition came true.
"... Your Majesty."
Despite hesitating in his heart, Ye Yu still stepped forward.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and she could only see two rows of guards standing outside the palace behind Qing Xuanyi.
... It's just that this amount seems to be a little more than usual
And they were all new faces she had never seen before.
Ye Yu instinctively scanned his consciousness.
The mobile phone is always with her, and she instructs the subsystem in her heart to transmit the identity information of these people to herself.
Before he could reach Xuan Yi, Ye Yu heard the system that had been silent for a while suddenly scream.
The astonishment was so strong that Ye Yu was so frightened that he stopped on his feet.
"What's going on?" She frowned and asked the system.
The system voice trembled, "These are all Xuan Yi's confidantes—and they are the most elite group, none of them has a lower cultivation level than you..."
Ye Yu secretly hesitated.
—
Even if there is a slight deviation from the plot, it is impossible for Xuan Yi to attack Ye Xiaojun so early, right
What's more, he had to rely on Princess Ye Xiaojun as Xuan Bin's monitoring tool by his side when traveling in the palace...
Ye Yu, who was immersed in his own thoughts, didn't notice that Xuan Yi's tense figure relaxed a little after he sized her up sternly and made sure that she was safe and sound.
Just speaking again, the voice was really hoarse and scary—
"Didn't I warn you not to let you go to him?!"
"..."
Ye Yu blinked, and really couldn't understand why Xuan Yi was so angry.
After hesitating for a while, she asked tentatively, "Your Majesty doesn't want to leave the palace anymore?"
"—it doesn't matter if I want to or not."
Xuan Yi's voice was still tense. He still wanted to say something, but after meeting Ye Yu's eyes, he pursed his thin lips, and swallowed the rest of the words.
Ye Yu was even more puzzled: "Then why is Your Majesty angry?"
"..." Xuan Yi's eyes twitched lightly, as if some kind of uncontrollable emotion was surging in those black eyes.
After a while, after taking a deep look at Ye Yu, he turned his gaze away, "... because I'm worried about you!"
The voice was almost hoarse.
Ye Yu: "..."
Acting with this vicious look...
Bah, only fools believe it.
Thinking of this, Ye Yu still forced an expression of "I really believe it" and "I'm so happy" on his face.
The system whispered: "Master host, it's normal to be a little more excited when you hear someone you like say that..."
"..." Ye Yu gritted his teeth in his heart: "For example?"
System: "A run-up—and pounce?"
Ye Yu: "..."
"Now Xuan Yi is a powerless setting, and you are responsible for throwing it down?"
The system shyly said, "Master Host rushed, of course you are responsible for it yourself, Master Host."
Ye Yu: "..."
"Master Host, Master Ye Xiaojun is not a coy setting."
"... Remember to add a performance fee to the task reward."
Ye Yu slandered like this, but he didn't dare to be vague in his actions.
She took advantage of the opportunity to walk in front of Xuan Yi, and before the man's eyes turned back, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and hugged him with a "shy" face.
—
"Your Majesty, I like you, so I can do everything for you. Whatever you want, I will try my best to get it for you."
"..."
There was a suffocating silence in the air.
Ye Yu felt Xuan Yi's stature suddenly freeze from the moment he hugged her up. It's just that until she finished speaking for so long, the other party didn't push her away.
... Obviously hated to death, but still have to hold back, must have endured very hard, right
Ye Yu felt extremely sympathetic in his heart.
