Chapter 23: Tea House Conversation (2)

  "The two words 'transcend' are really not worthy of me, I just hope that now I can think and achieve as I wish." Pei Mingxuan's eyes revealed a soft expression, and he also acknowledged that he was intentionally provoking Dong Qingyuan. Anyway, the two people are now sworn enemies, so what's the difference in how they kill each other? As the saying goes, 'a good cat is one that catches mice', this can also be applied to other aspects."

  Moreover, if one could truly transcend, they wouldn't be entangled here either. Pei Mingxuan thought of Yuan Shuhuan, a girl who had not yet grown up, and now barely qualified as a young woman, but still evoked a sense of tragedy. Because as Yuan Shuhuan grew up, he himself was also slowly growing old.

  "Prince, don't joke around, Yuanniang doesn't seem like that kind of person." Dong Qingyuan's words were extremely sarcastic, clearly praising Yuan Shuhuan, but somehow they sounded a bit off. Even if Yuan Shuhuan was more affectionate towards Pei Mingxuan, it wasn't to the point of discussing marriage.

  Moreover, as long as Yuan Shu Gan is not yet married, all of this has not been settled. Since it's not settled, there's still room for change. If Pei Ming Xuan had said earlier that everything was predetermined by heaven, then Dong Qing Yuan is now emphasizing the idea that human determination can triumph over heavenly fate.

  "Han'er is naturally not a superficial person, and Dong Xiang must be very clear about this." This matter, even if you, Dong Qingyuan, don't want to understand, it's impossible. Who made Yuan Shuhuan so obviously distant from you? In such a situation, it's impossible for Dong Qingyuan to gain any advantage. Moreover, Dong Qingyuan doesn't even know what sincerity means, and with this kind of behavior, he can't get close to Yuan Shuhuan at all."

  Who is true and who is false, Yuan Shu Huan can see clearly in his heart. It's just that Yuan Shu Huan has never said it out loud, otherwise Si Kong Zi Hong wouldn't have been able to get close so easily. It's not because Yuan Shu Huan can feel the good intentions of Si Kong Zi Hong towards himself. It's just that now Yuan Shu Huan's heart is still a bit messy and he can't clarify what his thoughts are.

  Dong Qingyuan felt that in just one short night, Pei Mingxuan's mindset had completely changed. Something must have happened last night, but he himself had no way of knowing what it was. As for Pei Mingxuan moving out of Yuan Shuhuan's small courtyard this morning, it was probably not as simple as he had thought before.

  It seems that I still underestimated these two people, or maybe I overestimated myself. Today, Pei Mingxuan was indeed acting for himself, but unfortunately, Yuan Shuhuan didn't cooperate much, even so, it's clear that the two of them are different. If I dared to grab Yuan Shuhuan's hand, he would probably have beaten me up already.

  That's the difference between two people, Yuan Shu Han seems to be equally rude to both of them, but there is also a distinction in being rude. For example, with Pei Ming Xuan, it's like they're very close and don't need to be polite at all, while with Dong Qing Yuan, it's completely devoid of goodwill, that kind of rudeness.

  "It seems that Dong Xiang is very clear now." Pei Mingxuan's words did not have his usual coldness, but instead had a strange mocking tone. Dong Qingyuan would naturally not fail to notice the difference between the two people. It was just that yesterday it was Dong Qingyuan provoking himself, and today he changed to provoke Dong Xiang. Between the two people, even if there wasn't much victory or defeat, they both had some calculations.

  "Can't compare to Prince Wang's romantic success." Dong Qingyuan looked at Pei Mingxuan's stunning face, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this kid was being too arrogant, now even more so like showing off his feelings with Yuan Shuhuan. Only another aspect of romantic success might be official failure.

  Pae Myung-seon is now considered to be in seclusion, anyway, it's just that he doesn't care about anything. Although there are still people of Pae Myung-seon in the court, although they can still make themselves wary. But now all this is just a matter of time, at least in Dong Qingyuan's view. The imperial court has always been like this, and it may be changing with the wind in an instant.

  "Lately, the city has been a bit unstable, and I'm sure it's also within Dong Xiang's ears. Although I don't know why Yuan Shu Han chose to save Dong Qing Yuan, Pei Ming Xuan believes that Yuan Shu Han must have her reasons. Moreover, if Dong Qing Yuan dies here, it would be a disaster for Pei Ming Xuan."

  Pei Mingxuan and Yuan Shu each had their own reasons for saving Dong Qingyuan's life. However, this doesn't mean that the two of them genuinely have good feelings towards Dong Qingyuan. Fortunately, Dong Qingyuan hasn't done anything to make the two regret their actions yet. If someone were to save a white-eyed wolf, they probably wouldn't feel very wonderful afterwards either.

  "The prince is not deaf or blind, this is just today's matter." Although there were vague warnings from very early on, it was also unforeseen by both of them that it would last so long. This small town usually doesn't have anything important, but now that Yuan Shu Huan has settled here, the two of them must have some concerns.

  "If I really became blind and deaf, I'm afraid even I wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow." Pei Mingxuan returned to his usual calm demeanor. If he continued to mock Dong Qingyuan now, it would only make people laugh at him instead. Pei Mingxuan had always been someone who wasn't used to showing his emotions and was a person with very strong self-control.

  The blind and deaf represent a complete loss of one's subordinates, which is why they become blind and deaf. Although Pei Mingxuan said he was recovering from his injuries outside, the emperor also repeatedly comforted him, even issuing an imperial edict to find doctors and medicine for Pei Mingxuan, despite Pei Mingxuan having already returned to his own territory.

  "It's just that Director Dong shouldn't be so disappointing." Pei Mingxuan looked in the direction of Yuan Shuhuan's small courtyard, some things didn't need to be said, those who understood would naturally understand.

  "Han Gongzhu's favor of not abandoning him yesterday, saving Dong Mou's life twice, such a great kindness is naturally unforgettable. I don't know if it should be said that Yuan Shu Han's actions are somewhat immature, or if handing over the assassin to Yan Yunjin was good or bad. At least for now, they haven't received any news, could it be that someone let him escape?"

  Dong Qingyuan was extremely regretful about this matter. If he could catch the person, he would definitely get a lot of useful information. Although it might not be his side that got it in the end, it was indeed a pity for the country to lose it. As for Yan Yunjin, Dong Qingyuan didn't know much about him, but he knew a little bit.

  This person used to be the master of Wàn Dú Mén, but basically didn't care about anything. Moreover, after that old freak died, he abandoned his position as the master of Wàn Dú Mén without any hesitation, and since then, he seemed to have completely disappeared. Yesterday, when he appeared, it was clear that he was helping Yuán Shū Hán, but in the end, he still didn't leave a trace.

  Dong Qingyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, and the events that had occurred around Yuan Shuheng left him at a loss for what to do. He was particularly helpless against Yuan Shuheng, and there was also Pei Mingxuan lurking nearby, not to mention the unknown force that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, whose target was clearly them, the high-ranking officials.

  "It's pointless for us to quarrel here, and Lord Dong doesn't want to disturb Yuanyuan's peace either." This isn't a matter of whether or not two people are disturbing each other. If Dong Qingyuan were to stir up trouble, it would only make Yuan Shuhuan even more disgusted with him. Originally, this should have been something he desperately wanted to see happen.

  If it weren't for that unknown force in this small town, it wouldn't matter if Dong Qingyuan was allowed to cause trouble. After all, when the soldiers come, we'll just defend against them, and when the water comes, we'll just cover it with earth. But now the situation is a bit different, and Pei Mingxuan wants to talk to Dong Qingyuan for this very reason. As for the outcome, although he doesn't have any unrealistic expectations, it might still have some effect.

  Especially since Dong Qingyuan himself had a crush on Yuan Shuheng, this made things even more effective. At least for a short time, will Yuan Shuheng still need their protection after a while? Pei Mingxuan has never seen anyone grow so rapidly in his memory. When he first met Yuan Shuheng, Yuan Shuheng had internal strength but was extremely weak.

  Up to now, Yuan Shu's inner strength has already made a small achievement, and this is just half a year of work. He can also feel that after Yuan Shu's inner strength enters the small achievement, the growth is even faster than before. This in itself cannot be described with the two words "miracle", but only with the two words "abnormal", which fundamentally violates common sense and exceeds current understanding.

  However, the object is Yuan Shu Huan, a person from another world, whose existence itself is not in line with common sense. His martial arts skills are also somewhat unconventional, which Pei Ming Xuan can accept. But Dong Qing Yuan must never know about these things. Pei Ming Xuan really doesn't believe in Dong Qing Yuan's character. This person has never had any character to speak of, and Pei Ming Xuan has also experienced it before.

  "It's pointless to argue, but I don't know what you want, Your Highness?" Arguing like this is meaningless, and now I'm the weaker side. If I attract attention from others because of Yuan Shuhuan, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the capital alive. Yuan Shuhuan will not show me any mercy, even though he still owes me a life-saving favor, his heart is full of malice.

  The reason for this is that Dong Qingyuan himself also knows, just like what he did yesterday, it's not very decent. Yuan Shuheng did a good job, though. Dong Qingyuan was able to climb to his current position, and naturally there were countless sacrifices behind him. He knew who should be offended and who shouldn't.

  "Leave this small town, we rely on our own abilities to survive, and in this small town, you and I will put down our arms." Yuan Shuhuan had no intention of leaving here, and Pei Mingxuan was very clear about this. As long as things could settle down safely here, the safety of Yuan Shuhuan and the two children would be guaranteed.

  Pei Mingxuan naturally didn't have any worries about these people, as Yuan Shuhuan's abilities were enough to stand firm anywhere. However, Pei Mingxuan still hoped to give Yuan Shuhuan a stable environment, even if it was just a relatively stable one.

  "Qingyuan also has this intention." This small town is unfavorable to itself in any way, with Yuan Shuheng sitting in town and Pei Mingxuan's half-year operation. It's easy for the two of them to stay behind, and Pei Mingxuan's words undoubtedly guaranteed his safety here. For Dong Qingyuan, this is a good thing no matter how you look at it.
