"Your Highness, it would be better to make some actual demands."
Chu Liuyue held the scabbard and tried to push him away with a little force.
Rong Xiu frowned slightly, but instead of retreating, he stepped forward an inch.
The two of them were already very close to each other, so they could even breathe into each other.
He just showed everything about himself in front of her openly, as if he didn't care about anything else.
Chu Liuyue's figure was reflected in the deep eyes.
Chu Liuyue was in a daze for a moment, as if...even if she was holding a sharp blade in her hand, he would still come over regardless.
There was a moment's delay in his movements as he was stunned.
There seemed to be a dark light flashing through Rong Jin's eyes, and his thin lips curved slightly, forming an ambiguous arc.
A faint sigh fell in Chu Liuyue's ears:
"...really murderous."
In the quiet and dark night, such a sigh seemed like the spring breeze ruffling the strings of a piano, leaving an echo in Chu Liuyue's heart that would not go away for a long time.
Her heart beat violently uncontrollably, as if something cunning had torn a hole into the stiff and cold wall in her heart and got in.
She took a step back almost subconsciously, avoiding Rong Xiu's eyes.
"Your Highness has such a distinguished status. As long as you wave your hand, countless gentle and virtuous women will come to you. I, Chu Liuyue, am fierce, ruthless and cold-hearted. Why should Your Highness waste your time on me."
Rong Xiu looked at her, something seemed to be surging in his eyes, which eventually turned into a light smile.
"But I can't see them in my eyes, I can only see you, so what can I do?"
Chu Liuyue's heart moved and she couldn't help but look at him again.
The cold moonlight streamed in, and Rong Xiu's face was half-dark, his brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed to be very distressed.
However, there was a hint of pampering in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Chu Liuyue didn't know how to respond to such straightforward words, which were almost an expression of love.
The two of them fell silent, leaving only the ambiguous air brewing between them, as if even the late summer wind had become gentle.
It's not like Chu Liuyue has never heard of confessions.
In her previous life, she had a noble status, extraordinary strength, not to mention her appearance, which attracted the admiration of many young people.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't have any feelings when encountering such a scene again.
But Rong Xiu's words seemed to have an inexplicable power and could always easily stir up her mood.
Chu Liuyue lowered her eyes.
Not to mention the several times Rong Xiu came to the rescue, just talking about the peach blossom hairpin on the day of Hairpin's birthday and the exquisite and small dagger today, there is no detail that he does not care about.
Any woman would be moved by the things he did for her.
To say she felt nothing would be an absolute lie.
However, she has experienced the most unforgettable betrayal in the world, and now she can no longer give up all her trust easily.
Faced with the good things Rong Xiu offered her, her first reaction was not to accept them happily, but to want to escape.
When Rong Xiu approached her, she felt a faint sense of fear in her heart.
That fear comes from the unforgettable pain deep in the memory!
And she couldn't talk to Rong Xiu about these.
What's more, after her rebirth, her most important thing is revenge!
If he is too close to Rong Xiu, he will inevitably be involved in this.
This is also unfair to Rong Xiu.
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but within a moment, Chu Liuyue raised her eyes to look at Rong Xiu again.
Her expression was calm, her eyes were clear, and the corners of her mouth curved:
"Your Highness is really good at joking."
Her cold voice broke the originally ambiguous atmosphere.
Rong Xiu looked at her intently.
Both of them are smart people, and they already understand each other's meaning without having to clarify certain words.
Chu Liuyue waited for Rong Xiu to turn around and leave.
Any man who has done so much for a woman and is still rejected will probably not continue, right
What's more, Rong Xiu's status is so noble.
However, unexpectedly, there was no trace of embarrassment between Rong Xiu's eyebrows, as if he didn't care about Chu Liuyue's words.
Then, he stretched out his hand and held the scabbard against his chest.
"Just say, do you like this gift?"
Chu Liuyue was stunned for a moment.
But seeing Rong Xiu's persistence, she had no choice but to nod:
"The things His Highness sends are always good."
"nice! You love it."
Rong Xiu chuckled, then suddenly reached out his hand and pinched her cheek.
"I put a lot of thought into forging this thing. Today you have to rest with me as a token of my gratitude."
Chu Liuyue was surprised.
"Did you do this yourself?"
Because she was too surprised, she didn't have time to care about Rong Xiu pinching her face.
Seeing the rare stunned look on the girl in front of him, Rong Xiu finally felt better and turned around to walk upstairs.
"I am very tired today. I will talk to you tomorrow."
Chu Liuyue chuckled in her heart.
Do you want to talk about this kind of thing tomorrow
"Your Highness, if you are willing to speak tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to listen."
Rong Xiu paused and looked back at her.
Chu Liuyue also walked forward, and when she reached his side, she paused and raised her chin slightly:
"Tomorrow the college will leave for the Wanling Mountains, leaving early in the morning. So, you'd better keep it to yourself!"
After saying that, Chu Liuyue didn't even look at Rong Xiu's expression, walked upstairs, entered her room, and locked the door directly.
Hearing the sound of locking, Rong Xiu reacted. He looked at the closed door and raised his eyebrows slightly.
For a moment, he couldn't help but laugh.
He is as carefree as ever and refuses to lose even half a cent.
At this moment, Xuexue, who had been trying to reduce her presence by the side, suddenly jumped up from the first floor and jumped to the door of Chu Liuyue's room on the second floor, scratching her claws on the door.
no! Can not be done!
Its claws were so sharp that when it went down, it left several neat scratches on the door.
Seeing Xuexue like this, Rong Xiu suddenly felt that it was degrading.
After all, it is a high-level monster, so why is it so unstable when something happens, and how embarrassing it is to scratch it
"Xuexue, what are you doing?"
Rong Xiu asked in a suppressed voice.
Xuexue looked back at him, her eyes full of grievance and unwillingness.
Why else would you go to Wanling Mountains? Of course it’s for hunting monsters!
Don't Chu Liuyue like it? Why would she go outside to find other wild dogs? No, wild monsters!
Then where to put it!
This is absolutely not allowed!
Xuexue could no longer care about Rong Xiu and turned back to scratch at the door.
However, with this look, Rong Xiu immediately understood.
etc!
At this time every year, Tianlu College indeed takes students to the Wanling Mountains for training.
If I remember correctly, they seemed to be... going to form separate teams
So, who does she team up with
Rong Xiu's calm expression finally showed a crack.
Chu Liuyue had just entered Tianlu Academy and didn't know many people. The ones she was most familiar with were probably the dozens of people who were also Xuan Masters.
If she formed a team, it would be with these people.
Could it be that boy from the Si family
