Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1143 - 673: Li Shimin (2)

"At least it can still be more at ease"

Li Shimin was taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled faintly: "But Mr. Sui is not one to value the situation over friendship. If he refuses, it’s probably because he’s certain that I am someone who will inevitably abandon friendship for some situation in the future... But Mr. Sui probably doesn’t know"

"From beginning to end, I have never harbored the slightest hostility towards Mr. Sui"

"Even though Mr. Sui’s disciples are Kou Zhong and Seo Ziling"

What does this mean?

The implication seems to be—he knew of Sui Yi from the start, and even more so, he knew that she actually protected these two people, which is why he took extra care.

In reality, the Twin Dragons are a double-edged sword. Seo Ziling is fine; although capable, he has no ambition for supremacy. Though difficult to deal with, as long as there is no conflict of interest, it’s no matter, but Kou Zhong is different.

Li Shimin saw through his overwhelming ambition and natural talent at first glance; such a person, if not used for his own purposes, is a lurking crisis.

Yet he still hasn’t acted, has he?

He doesn’t believe Sui Yi can’t see through this.

He, Li Shimin, has always admired Mr. Sui from the beginning and wanted to make friends, and Sui Yi probably knows that if someone in ancient times prudently proposes to make friends, it’s of serious importance—just missing a Peach Garden oath...

Yet Sui Yi remains extremely aloof and restrained with him.

There seems to be some unspoken taboo.

For Li Shimin, who has always surrounded himself with the world’s talents and never had a defeat, Sui Yi is a very special existence indeed.

Perhaps, Seo Ziling, seeing the man and woman on the bridge from the courtyard, was thinking the same.

Indeed, this Li Shimin has had an unusual focus on Mr. Sui from the beginning.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously clenched his palm, where the pain of nails piercing the skin was noticeable, yet he found he hadn’t felt much before; it was only now that the delayed pain made him somewhat confused and helpless.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

And on the bridge.

"Perhaps, if Mr. Sui wants to, it wouldn’t matter to him what kind of person Shimin is, nor would he resist that in the future you and I might stand on opposing sides and become difficult foes. Ultimately, it’s that Shimin has yet to make Mr. Sui feel that friendship is possible."

Li Shimin spoke slowly, his demeanor gentle, lacking aggression or imperial pressure, only a faint smile.

Sui Yi looked at him, her eyes deep.

"Listening to you, it sounds like Second Young Master Li knows me well?" This remark was neither light nor heavy; if Natasha and the others were here, they might discern Sui Yi’s contemplative mood.

Because Li Shimin was right.

"Mr. Sui is not someone who can’t be understood."

Li Shimin stood on the bridge steps below Sui Yi, his hands behind his back, slightly lifting his head to look at Sui Yi.

"For instance, how does Mr. Sui view the relationship between my sister and Kou Zhong?"

Following an affirmative sentence, there came an inexplicable question; Sui Yi glanced aside, naturally seeing the subtle undercurrents among Kou Zhong’s group in the courtyard...

"I don’t understand matters of the heart"

"Mr. Sui, it’s not that you don’t understand. It’s just that you feel it’s not your place to judge right and wrong. Besides, there’s never right or wrong in emotions... One who values others and devalues oneself... is like water, the more natural, the clearer, no matter how deep the water, one can see through it."

Because it is too pure.

Li Shimin had seen much human deceit and intrigue, but besides Sui Yi’s mystique, there was a surprising purity.

And his words made Sui Yi ponder for a while, and after a long time, she sighed lightly: "Perhaps"

This Li Shimin is indeed terrifying.

In the silence, she suddenly said: "There are still some points about you that attract me."

Oh?

Li Shimin was taken aback.

Sui Yi and Li Shimin walked down from the bridge, the latter’s expression a bit peculiar, seemingly between laughing and crying, while Sui Yi approached Fu Junnuo.

"Shi Feixuan?" Fu Junnuo asked.

"I don’t know, she seems to have another purpose... but this Yang Gong’s treasure shouldn’t be able to trouble her too much, as long as Wanwan confirms you and I know, Shi Feixuan as well can know."

Speaking of which, the CP sense between the Demon Sect and Cihang Calming Studio far exceeds any duo CP.

If one has something happen, the other can quickly find a clue~

This CP sense is really intoxicating.

"The Demon Sect already has Bian Bufu and Wanwan in Changan, and from Cihang Calming Studio, it’s Shi Feixuan... Just these three are difficult to deal with~~ Not to mention I heard Hou Xibai admires Shi Feixuan; against Bian Bufu’s meddling, he might help Shi Feixuan too."

And on our side, there are also four of us, overall strength may be similar.

It could be a chaotic situation.

Fu Junnuo’s words made Sui Yi somewhat helpless as well; she has few helpers in this world.

Not like in the modern era...

"Let’s just watch. In the end, our need for Yang Gong’s treasure is not as intense as theirs... From this point of view, we still have an advantage"

"Indeed, anyway, the bigger the fuss, the better" Fu Junnuo’s outright malice made Sui Yi unable to decide whether to laugh or cry.

After a while, she walked into the house, not heeding the obscure state of Kou Zhong’s trio, only looking at Seo Ziling, already dressed and honing his physique.

"I’ll write a prescription for you both, let Miss Song help buy the ingredients. Don’t go out... Also, abstain from alcohol and spicy food these days.."

Sui Yi instructed while writing the prescription; inwardly, she was a bit sentimental, thinking if Jiang Chenyu were here, these prescriptions likely wouldn’t be needed at all; just a few acupuncture sessions would cure all...

"Teacher"

"Hm?"

"You and Second Young Master Li..."

Sui Yi looked up, facing Seo Ziling, "What do you want to ask?"

Seo Ziling wasn’t one to hide or be indecisive and knew Sui Yi didn’t like such people, so he took a deep breath and asked: "Second Young Master Li intends to... recruit you?"

Recruit?

Seo Ziling chose a rather appropriate word.

After all, he hadn’t seen any romantic pursuit from Li Shimin.

"Hm" Sui Yi nodded.(To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
