Ever since Yuan Ting came to find Xi Ning, Si TuZhao didn’t sneak in secretly to meet him anymore, but walked directly through the gate to let people go to inform Xi Ning.
He had brought people to search Xi Ning’s palace before. Most of the servants in Xi Ning’s palace had a worse impression of Si TuZhao than Yuan Ting, and they were a little afraid of him.
When the servant led him in, he ran into Xi Ning who was walking here halfway.
Xi Ning was very pleasantly surprised. “It’s really you?”
He dismissed the other people and took Si TuZhao with him. “When did you start to learn to inform me before coming to visit me?”
“I came to see my future wife. Why should I sneak up to do so?” Si TuZhao looked innocent, as if he was not the one who sneaked in through the window into the bedroom before. “Besides, if that bald bird can come, why can’t I come?”
Xi Ning stopped and said, “You shouldn’t call others like that, it’s not polite.”
Si TuZhao snorted. “If he dares to come again, I will call him that in front of him.”
After saying this, he didn’t mention Yuan Ting further.
After Si TuZhao returned to the Immortal Palace, they weren’t able to spend much time with each other. They sat in the pavilion in the courtyard for a while. Uncle Rong prepared some fruits and some pastries to serve, and also poured tea for Si TuZhao.
Other than Xi Ning, only Uncle Rong knew the identity of Chu Yi. Si TuZhao took a sip from his teacup and said, “Uncle Rong, sorry to have bothered you during this time.”
Uncle Rong replied gently, “There’s no need for the Devil Lord to say this to me. I have just done what I should do”
He put down the teapot and left, leaving Xi Ning and Si TuZhao to spend time alone. Si TuZhao said, “Uncle Rong treats you well. If he wants to, he can go to the Devil Realm with you in the future.”
“If I go to the Devil Realm, will I be unable to come back?” Xi Ning picked up a piece of fruit that had been cut nicely and held it near to Si TuZhao’s lips. “Or you can stay in the Immortal Palace.”
Si TuZhao ate the fruit and stretched out his arms to hug Xi Ning. “No, you must follow me back to the Devil Realm.”
Xi Ning opened his mouth, but suddenly a servant hurriedly came to this side. He got up and sat back in his seat.
The servant came and had something to inform him. The servant lowered his head and said, “Your Royal Highness, the spirit clan’s prince is here. H is waiting outside the hall.”
Xi Ning looked at Si TuZhao subconsciously and hesitated. “Just say that I am unwell today……”
“No, let him come in.” Si TuZhao interrupted him, and said very calmly, “It just happens that I had something that I needed to meet him for.”
The servant looked up at Xi Ning awkwardly. Xi Ning had no choice but to say, “Then let him in.”
He quietly pulled Si TuZhao’s sleeve. “Why do you want to meet him?”
Si TuZhao didn’t answer, and held Xi Ning’s fingertips with his hand. Seeing Yuan Ting had already arrived, he got closer and closer, but he still didn’t let go of Xi Ning’s hand.
Xi Ning was a little anxious, and kicked Si TuZhao before he was willing to let go of Xi Ning’s hand.
However, the pillar under the stone table only blocked their hands. Yuan Ting saw the moment when Xi Ning kicked Si TuZhao.
He calmly walked into the pavilion and acted surprised. “The Devil Lord is here? What a coincidence.”
“It won’t be a coincidence anymore in the future. If there is no unexpected situation, you will see me whenever you come.” Si TuZhao put on a fake smile. “But if you don’t have any important matters, it is better not to come often.”
Yuan Ting’s expression solidified for a moment, but he quickly recovered back to normal. He sat down on the other side of the stone table. “I really don’t have any important matters, but I want to see Xiao Qi. Last time I felt that Xiao Qi seems to always be alone in the Immortal Palace. There are no suitable peers with similar age as Xi Ning around, and he also has no friends. I also had the same experience when I was seven years old……”
Si TuZhao suddenly lowered his head. Yuan Ting was implying that Si TuZhao was much older than Xi Ning and that he was the “suitable peer”.
Xi Ning was very awkwardly caught in the conflict between the two of them. At this time, the system said, “Master, the spirit subordinate that came with Yuan Ting, she seems to be Huo Xiu’s future wife.”
