Ye Yu never felt that she was a cowardly person, but after Xuan Yi's words, she still felt goosebumps all over her body exploded in an instant.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't see any killing intent in those black eyes that were looking straight at her without flinching, Ye Yu might almost feel that he was about to die at the hands of this man.
—
After all, people who are usually on two opposite sides, one side wants to showdown to the other side, the biggest possibility is that the side being shown down is not far from death.
Thinking of this, Ye Yu squeezed the hand that was still able to move freely, with a smile on his face, while the imprisoned arm tentatively pulled back and struggled.
"What does this mean, Your Majesty, I don't understand."
Xuan Yi still clamped her wrist so that she could not move back.
"Having been in touch for so long, it should be enough for Sister Ye Yu to figure out everything I know and think, right?"
"..." Ye Yu's pupils shrank slightly.
She almost instinctively said, "How did you know I could pass..."
After the rest of the voice returned rationally, she swallowed it back abruptly.
Various thoughts swirled quickly in Ye Yu's mind.
—
Simply relying on the matter of setting up a stall this afternoon, no matter how smart Xuan Yi is, it should be at most a level of suspicion—not so sure about her being able to "tell fortunes" through contact.
In other words, Xuan Yi should know his ability to touch divination before this afternoon.
Before today, she only mentioned it once in front of this person.
Or rather, she only mentioned that one time in this life.
"...!"
A certain possibility that came to mind caused Ye Yu's heart to drop suddenly.
If the pit-filling system was an entity, she would have been strangled to death by now.
"This is what you told me about '100% initialization'?—This is what you said, it is absolutely impossible for him to have the memory of the previous time?!"
At this time, the system was also stunned by the situation and couldn't speak, and couldn't respond to Ye Yu's question for a long time.
But in reality, Xuan Yi would not stop because of the communication between the two, he approached Ye Yu even more tightly.
"At this point, sister still refuses to admit it?"
Ye Yu clenched her fingertips.
At this moment, because of too much trust in what the system said before, she has fallen into a completely passive situation unexpectedly.
She couldn't figure out what Xuan Yi knew, how much she knew, and how she knew it.
After a few seconds of silence, Ye Yu slowly let out a sigh of relief.
She looked up at Xuan Yi, the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "Does Your Majesty want me to make a choice?"
This undisguised smile with the strong personal style of the woman Xuan Yi was familiar with made him instinctively lose his mind.
"What choice?"
The initiative returned to the middle position, and Ye Yu was still smiling, "I guess it's...surrender, or be silenced?"
Xuan Yi's eyes sank.
Of course he didn't want her to choose this, but he could also guess the purpose of Ye Yu's words.
Ye Yu wanted to shift the point of conflict.
Shift the point of conflict from the most deadly issue to a marginal issue that is not important to her—stand in line.
Seeing that the scheme was about to succeed, Ye Yu smiled even more: "Your Majesty knows that I have the ability to do divination, so of course I will choose to stand by your side."
Xuan Yi stared at Ye Yu unhappily. Those dark eyes seemed to be able to jump out of some ferocious beasts at any time to pounce on her.
Ye Yu was slightly guilty and felt a little emotional.
The Xuan Yi in front of her, and the five hundred taels she came into contact with in her previous life, it is almost difficult to find the slightest similarity.
In just a few years, this person's scheming city has reached the level of being so impermeable now, even seeing through his own identity and knowing the things of the past life, but he can bear it for I don't know how long... It's really a bit scary.
Thinking of Xuan Yi's ruthlessness in the final chapter of "The Night Is Not a Demon", Ye Yu felt even more embarrassed.
Xuan Yi tightly grasped Ye Yu's figure with his eyes, and the force on her wrist increased a bit.
With the impulsive irrationality and recklessness in his heart, Xuan Yi leaned over, "You know that what I want is not—"
Before the words fell, the carriage stopped.
The attendant outside the window whispered: "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the inn."
Xuan Yi's eyes moved slightly.
After a long time, he slowly let go, took a deep look at Ye Yu, and then turned his head and got off the carriage.
"..."
In the empty carriage where there was no one else but himself, Ye Yu slowly let go of the breath he had been hanging up.
It seemed as long as a century before her own heartbeat, which was beating like a drum in her ears, gradually subsided.
When all consciousness returned, she slowly ground her teeth, and spoke almost word for word:
"Pit filling system—if you dare to pretend to be dead, I'll just crush this damned system carrier!"
"..."
Early the next morning, Ye Yu woke up with two dark circles under his eyes.
— The stimulation was a little big, and she lost sleep all night by accident.
Before getting into the carriage, she was still thinking about how she would deal with Xuan Yi, avoid the problems of the pit filling system and her own existence if the development of last night continued.
What surprised her was that Xuan Yi's reaction when he saw her in the carriage with his eyes closed, was as flat as if nothing had happened.
—
If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't close his eyes last night, Ye Yu would have wondered if he had a dream.
Waiting for the horse pulling the cart to run out of Feng Huan City, Ye Yu glanced at where he was going, and although he knew it in his heart, he still asked:
"Where is your Majesty planning to go?"
Xuan Yi didn't open his eyes, and his voice was cold: "Jianzong."
Ye Yu: "..."
Last night, she really shouldn't blame herself for not noticing it in advance - just like this, how can it be the same as the five hundred taels in the previous life
Although he was very angry, Ye Yu still cherished the illusion of "superficial couple" and "superficial peace" that he had worked so hard to maintain last night.
She smiled lightly, "Your Majesty has also decided to participate in the selection of registered disciples of Jianzong?"
"..."
After hearing this, Xuan Yi finally reacted.
He opened his eyes, and his bright black eyes stared at Ye Yu for a moment, "What plan do I have, didn't you figure it out last night?"
It was rare for Ye Yu not to care about this person's old and young disobedience, and explained: "I can only count the original fate of the world—Your Majesty's fate has been changed, and now I don't know what specific plans you have— Your Majesty, please take care of this."
— It was as if she hadn't expected that this person had recognized herself.
In fact, after a night of precipitation and pondering, Xuan Yi has already figured this out.
He could see Ye Yu's surprised reaction during the showdown. Obviously, even if she had been in touch, she really didn't realize that he had remembered those past events.
"Since you didn't predict my plan, why did you join Jianzong?"
Ye Yu: "Although it can't be counted as His Majesty's mind and plan, I can still know a thing or two about other things in the world."
Ye Yu paused for a moment, lowered his eyes, "For example, there is something in the Jianzong sect that is extremely important for His Majesty's advancement to the Chaos Realm."
After hearing what Ye Yu said, Xuan Yi's eyes moved.
After a while, he turned his gaze sideways, "... So, you are going to Jianzong for me?"
Ye Yu: "—?"
I don't know why, although this causal relationship is barely established, Xuan Yi's unnatural reaction and tone... still makes Ye Yu feel that there seems to be a little misunderstanding.
Not getting a positive response did not affect Xuan Yi's good mood. He looked sideways at Ye Yu: "Will my sister hurt me or betray me?"
The black pupils close at hand were clear and bright, and Ye Yu felt in a daze that the boy sitting in front of him was still the boy from his previous life.
She instinctively spoke almost without thinking:
"Won't."
A little joy flashed into his eyes, Xuan Yi lost that harmless look, and smiled with his lips slanted.
"OK."
"Then I will trust my sister, for the last time."
"..."
Seeing the harmless boy transform back into a scheming devil emperor with his own eyes, how could Ye Yu fail to realize that Xuan Yi was deliberately pretending
She turned away expressionlessly.
The world has changed, and the trust between people and dogs no longer exists.
