He had a question to ask Su Emei - that was also the fundamental reason why he didn't come to Su Emei very often after he came back from the Yaozu and alienated her.
Li Ye didn't ask right away, because the meal hadn't been finished yet.
This problem will affect the appetite, once you mention it, you may not be able to eat the meal again.
So he chose to finish the meal first.
It can be regarded as living up to Su Emei's busy life.
After the meal was finished and the wine was almost drunk, Su Emei went to the house to get a bowl of tea before Li Ye put down the bowl and chopsticks. Different from the Sencha that is popular in the world, Li Ye has always been fond of clear tea. The bowl that Su Emei brought out is of course the best clear tea.
While Li Ye was drinking tea, Su Emei began to clean up the dishes, her movements were gentle and skillful, and the sound of the dishes colliding was very small. She ate neither too much nor too little, neither fast nor slow, basically when Li Ye put down the bowl and chopsticks, she had just finished picking up the corn kernels in the bowl.
Lifting the tea leaves with the tea lid, Li Ye took a sip of the tea, and found that the tea is just hot, not like freshly brewed, and the fragrance is long lasting, so it should be boiled rather than soaked.
He remembered that when the meal was halfway through, Su Emei got up and went back to the house to serve the meal. The tea should have been prepared at that time, so that the temperature could be suitable at this time.
Li Ye concentrated his attention for a while, and felt that there was indeed a fragrance of tea in the room. In this way, the tea was indeed boiled, so that there would be a remaining portion in the room, so that the fragrance could always be wafting.
Making tea is much more troublesome than brewing tea. Su Emei has even prepared for this, and her thoughts are not insignificant. If Li Ye didn't come...
In fact, Li Ye did not come here very often during this period.
Over the past few days, Su Emei has expanded the vegetable garden a lot. Wei Xiaozhuang once asked her strangely that the vegetables produced by such a large vegetable garden are already enough for several families, is it too much
At that time, Su Emei didn't answer this question directly.
If Wei Xiaozhuang sees the scene in front of him and sees that Su Emei prepares a table of meals for three or five people every day, waits silently for a long time, confirms that the people waiting will not come today, and throws them all away , it will no longer feel strange.
Li Ye had just finished tasting a bowl of tea, and not long after sitting idle, Su Emei washed the bowls and chopsticks, and came out to sit with him in the courtyard.
She took the initiative to provoke the topic: "When does Your Highness plan to go out?"
"Five days later. I will go to Caozhou with Shangguan Qingcheng." Li Ye had nothing to hide, his eyes passed over the tea bowl, and he asked seemingly casually: "If I didn't come tonight, your table is full Wouldn’t the dishes and the brewed tea be wasted?”
Su Emei smiled lightly, as gentle and pleasant as the evening wind in early autumn, and her voice was as light and melodious as a guzheng, "Most of the food will be wasted, but the tea will not... If Your Highness doesn't Come, I will sit here at this time and finish the tea quietly."
Quietly drink the tea...
The image appeared in Li Ye's mind: Su Emei was sitting alone at the stone table under the pagoda tree, looking over the roof to see the sea of stars, her eyes were peaceful, she drank a sip of tea from time to time, feeling at ease. There is an indescribable loneliness in the comfort.
Until the pot of tea is finished.
That should take quite a while.
Li Ye fell silent because of the quiet scene in the depths of the bustling palace lit up like daylight.
For some reason that it was not convenient to speak directly, the question he had been wanting to ask could not be uttered immediately.
Su Emei glanced at Li Ye briefly, full of cautious probing, and immediately asked with a pretentious look: "Your Highness is going to Caozhou on this trip, may I take Emei with me?"
She asked in such a normal tone that even if she was rejected, she would not look embarrassed. It seems that you don't care about it, and you don't care about it.

Li Ye didn't answer directly, but asked solemnly: "In the Central Plains War, I will fight against Zhu Wen and the Taoist sect. What will Bailudong do at this time?"
Su Emei quickly raised her eyelids, her slender and curved eyelashes became even more conspicuous and attractive because of this movement, and the astonishment in her clear eyes was even more vivid.
Su Emei couldn't answer right away.
Li Ye chuckled, meaning inexplicably, "Or the lonely king should ask more directly. When the lonely king and the fairy court were fighting to the death, when the fairy court was exhausted by the army of gods from outside the domain, and he was attacked by the mortals inside." What will happen to you and the Immortal Court forces behind the White Deer Cave when the forces involved in the chaos are stretched?"
Su Emei's thin shoulders trembled slightly.
Then she lowered her head, bit her lips lightly, and couldn't speak for a while.
She didn't refute Li Ye's words, which means she admitted some of Li Ye's assertions.
For more than a thousand years, the dynasties have changed several times, and every time there is a major event in the world, there is always a figure of Toshihiko Bailudong who stirs up the situation.
They have only seven disciples in each generation, but they can maneuver freely on the chessboard of great conflicts in the world, move the princes with one word, decide major events with one word, light the beacon with one action, and determine rise and fall with one action.
That's why people all over the world say that the world doesn't know the White Deer Cave, and that the world's outstanding people have no teachers.
However, now, especially after taking a trip to the monster clan, Li Ye finally realized that the strange and prominent existence that can cause such a big storm in front of the four schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and soldiers is not just a simple mortal forces.
There is always the shadow of Xianting behind the White Deer Cave.
It and them have been active in the world for many years. Now, Li Ye is about to compete with the Daoist sect to win the battle, and who will dominate the mortal world. What will they do at this time
They swept up the wind and swept the wolves, causing the general situation of the world to change because of them, but for more than a thousand years, they have never shaken the overall situation that the Taoist fairy court dominates the order of the world.
Can't, or don't want to
If they can't, then they are weak.
If he is unwilling, then would Bailudong, who holds the bargaining chip of influencing the general situation in the world, exchange it for benefits that are beneficial to himself from the fairy court when he gives up the bargaining chip in his hand
As a force that has different political views from the Immortal Emperor and failed in the struggle many years ago, what allowed them to linger in the Immortal Court until today
For such a frustrated force, is it more tempting to pursue the unattainable cause of subverting the order of the world, or let the disciples give up or even destroy the original good situation when they hold the chips to affect the general trend of the world? The premise, is it more practical to exchange benefits from the Immortal Emperor that will allow him to continue to survive, or even grow slightly
This is the question Li Ye wanted to ask Su Emei.
It is also the reason why he has been willing or unwilling to study Su Emei in the academy these days.
The time for Bailudong to assist him came very early. Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang were by his side when he was still far from becoming powerful. In the Battle of Hedong, if Li Xian had not been instructed by Chu Nanhuai to rush to Taiyuan to suppress Li Cunxiao at a critical moment, Li Ye might have defeated Taiyuan and let Shimen sit on the throne.
From the beginning to the end, Li Ye never thought about what made Bailudong help him so early and so firmly.
If this is the reason above, then everything makes sense.
The great struggle in the world is related to the ownership of the imperial power of Kyushu and the survival of the order of heaven and earth. In this kind of struggle, the Eight Immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, and the monsters and Buddhas chase each other.
