C137

This was the typical Second Master! He was everywhere!

Nan Yue was also somewhat stupefied by the chaotic battle situation on the bamboo wall.

Tuoba and Vietnam were going for the Buddha beads, she knew.

But the other two were a little dazed.

One of them was an expert kicking people, while the other was an expert blocking people's path.

Puzzled, he asked Shen Zhiqiao, "Ah Zhi, do you know the other two?"

Shen Zhiqiao firmly shook his head, "No, I don't!"

She really wished she could never know Ji Lian Ye!

His pair of large eyes sunk, especially upon seeing him constantly opposing a certain someone, with a look of recklessness, even his pupils couldn't help but contract.

What in the world was this Ji Lian Ye trying to do?!

"The one who was kicked was the fourteenth prince, the current king of Zhuo Jing Lian. The other was the ambassador of the Western Lion Kingdom, the beloved youngest son of the king of the Western Lion Kingdom, the thirteenth prince Ji Lianye."

The voice that suddenly came into her ears gave her a fright.

He touched his heart and turned his head to look at Tuoba Rui, who had walked up to her side at some point in time. The corner of his mouth pulled downwards, but he did not say anything.

Shen Zhiqiao knitted his brows and looked at him, not paying any attention to her.

He lowered his voice and used a voice that only the two of them could hear as he said, "If you care about the Buddha beads, I will come to Jinyun Temple tomorrow and beg you. You are not allowed to accept the pearls that have been moved from Vietnam!"

He personally went to Jinyun Temple to ask for it?!

Nan Yue's eyes moved as she turned her head to look at him. After a moment, her lips parted, and she said calmly, "Your highness can go personally. I don't insist on having this buddhist bead …"

When Tuoba Rui heard her say this, he thought that she promised not to use her subordinate, Vietnam, to take the bead. His handsome face softened.

"However, if I had to painstakingly obtain it from the south, and if he had to give it to me, it would be my business whether I accept it or not. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

Tuoba Rui's face turned cold once again. He closed his eyes and suppressed the anger that was on the tip of his heart. He said slowly, "Nan Yue, can't you listen to me once?!"

"Then I'll have to ask the prince if you've heard of me!" Nan Yue's voice was light and straightforward, "I don't want to do anything to others anymore. Your highness has read the Book of Virtue before. This is a principle that even I, a crude woman, understand. Your highness has no reason not to understand."

Tuoba Rui looked at her from the side. Her expression was clear and indifferent. Between the two of them, it was as if they were eternally separate from each other. If she had spoken to him like that in the past, he would have already been furious.

But today, he could not muster up any anger. He looked at her for a while and sighed, "Nan Yue, you are already pregnant with this king's child. Can't you and I talk calmly once? "Even if it is not for you and me, it is for this child …" Hawkeye looked at her with a gentle gaze and said, "You don't want this child to grow up in the midst of endless squabbles between his parents, do you?"

Child?

Nan Yue couldn't help lowering her head to look at her stomach. How could she possibly wish for her child to grow up in such an environment?! Perhaps, she thought, just as Tuoba Rui himself had said, he also cared about this child. Otherwise, with his arrogant personality, he would never have spoken to her like this.

It was undeniable that his words struck the softest spot in Nan Yue's heart, making her want to have a good talk with him.

She turned her head to look at him and was about to speak when she heard his words. She let out a cold laugh, "Tuoba Rui, put away your hypocrisy. Are you not tired of wearing a mask all day?!"

After saying that, she pushed him away and stood next to Shen Zhiqiao.

Shen Zhizhan focused on the fierce battle on the bamboo wall. He was startled by her sudden approach. He turned around to look at her and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Nan Yue? Are you not feeling well?"

Nan Yue pursed her lips and shook her head, "I'm fine. I just feel like they've been up there too long. It's not like I can do anything if this goes on."

When Shen Zhi Qiao heard her words, a frown appeared on his forehead. Without a doubt, he raised his head and looked up.

Tuoba Rui was truly enraged this time. He stepped forward and was about to grab her when someone quickly took his arm. With a pair of sinister eyes, they looked at his arm and then at the incoming person's face. His voice turned dull as he asked, "Why are you here?"

Ye Qingqing held his hand and shook it. Tears came out of her eyes and she said, "My prince, I have been at the Immortal's Brothel for a long time and didn't see you and my sister come back. I was worried that something might have happened to my sister, so I begged Big Brother Nan to bring me out to take a look …" She bit her lip in grievance. "Qing Qing did the wrong thing. She acted presumptuously to make Prince angry …" As he spoke, he started to sob softly.

Tuoba Rui's eyes turned cold as his voice slowed down. He wiped her cheeks with a finger and said, "Don't cry, I'm not blaming you. I'm just worried that you will come out like this and hurt the child in your belly."

"In the end, the prince is still blaming Qingqing …" Ye Qingqing's tears flowed as she looked pitifully at Tuoba Rui.

Tuoba Ri's eyes were filled with impatience as he consoled her patiently, "This King did not blame you for overthinking it."

In her heart, she knew that men loved women who understood the bigger picture. Ye Qingqing stopped and smiled at him with tears streaming down her face. She took his arm and leaned against him, lowering her eyes.

Nan Jue, who was standing behind her, smiled bitterly as he looked away.

Nan Yue had been watching the two of them ever since they walked over. The bitter smile on the corner of her mouth and the restraint in her eyes made her heart turn cold, and she felt a lump in her throat. She had always been the driving force behind their search for her family.

She closed her eyes and did not want to look anymore. Clenching her fist, she turned around. Her eyes were red like blood, but she continued to endure.

Shen Zhiqiao, whose heart was completely focused on the wall of bamboo, didn't notice her change. His eyes were fixated on the fierce fighting that was still going on.

Although the journey to Vietnam was smooth, they were still somewhat affected by the duo's unruly and hasty actions.

Tuoba Yu and Ji Lianye, on the other hand, were getting more and more excited as if they had met their match.

Finally, Tuoba Yu found a buddhist bead with the word 'buddhist' written on it. He lifted it up with his thin lips and grabbed it with his hand. Then, he noticed that he was about to attack.

Ji Lianye stepped forward and intercepted him. Tuoba Yu suddenly flew to the other side of the bamboo wall and started to look through the buddhist beads once again.

Ji Lianye thought that he had failed to find her and thus pressed forward.

Even Qing and Yuefu saw Tuoba's movements, but they didn't make a sound.

He didn't even have the mood to kick, he just leaned forward and started flipping.

Tuoba Yu looked at Ji Lianye's high morale and high spirits. His phoenix eyes flickered with an evil light as he started to think about how to play around with her.

He suddenly stretched out his hand to throw all the buddhist beads on his side down, and the buddhist beads fell down.

Ji Lian Ye was startled. She then saw that he seemed to be holding a buddhist bead in his hand. His starry eyes were like that of a leopard as he stared at the buddhist bead in his hand.

Tuoba Yu hid away impressively, and when he saw Su Li's pupils shrink, he pursed his lips and prepared to fly down.

How could Ji Lianye let him go so easily? With a flash, she appeared right in front of him and threw a palm attack towards him.

Tuoba Yu remained on the defensive and did not attack. He looked extremely gloomy, as if he had suddenly lost all interest.

However, the more Ji Lian fought, the more valiant he became. The more he defended, the more fiercely he attacked, the faster his palm wind became.

Tuoba Yu lowered his eyes, covered by his thick and long eyelashes. When he saw Vietnam's move and Lian Li appear to have found them, both of them jumped down.

Taking advantage of the moment of his absent-mindedness, Ji Lianye pushed her way past him like the wind and ruthlessly threw his hand that held the buddhist beads.

At this moment, Tuoba Yu also released his hand in time, causing the buddhist beads to fly out. He nervously looked around and was about to go and receive them.

Ji Lianye, however, was even faster and pulled the buddhist bead tightly into his palm.

Tuoba Yu clenched his fists in frustration as he glared at him with the tip of his eyebrows seemingly unwilling to accept the outcome.

Ji Lianye looked up at him like a victor and said, "You've let me win!"
