Chapter 672: Esteemed Guest

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shen Zhuo was left sitting alone at the table.

It turned out that every time he made a choice, he subconsciously chose the outcome that was more advantageous to him.

He couldn’t help but laugh at himself. No wonder Niaoniao didn’t want him.

Outside the door, Wei Liao heard the conversation between the two of them clearly.

When he heard that Yu Niaoniao was not afraid of death and fought Shen Zhuo head-on, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat for her. Others might not know, but people like him, who often followed Shen Zhuo, knew very well that Shen Zhuo only looked gentle and easy to talk to on the surface, but his methods were actually more ruthless than anyone else’s. If she really angered him, Yu Niaoniao would definitely suffer.

Fortunately, Shen Zhuo let her off in the end.

When Wei Liao saw Yu Niaoniao walk out of the house safely, he silently heaved a sigh of relief.

“I’ll walk you out.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Thank you.”

They walked out along the corridor.

This should be a courtyard. There were many chrysanthemums planted in the courtyard, and there was a stream beside the corridor. f(r)eenovelkiss

The night was hazy and the stream was gurgling. The scenery was very elegant.

But neither of them was in the mood to admire the beautiful scenery.

Yu Niaoniao was focused on returning quickly and walked quickly.

Wei Liao walked unhurriedly beside her.

He remembered what he had just heard from the conversation and asked.

“Weren’t you afraid he’ll really kill you?”

Yu Niaoniao did not expect him to suddenly ask and subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

Although he didn’t name anyone, they both knew who he meant.

Yu Niaoniao said, “If I wasn’t harsh, he would take me away by force. Instead of that, why don’t I take a gamble?”

Wei Liao said, “Do you know? He hasn’t appointed an empress or taken a concubine yet because he has been waiting for you. As long as you go with him, you can become the empress of Dayan.” Yu Niaoniao was unmoved. “So what? Belated love is cheaper than grass.”

Wei Liao couldn’t help but chuckle.

“As expected of you.”

After laughing, he regained his composure slightly.

“When we return to the Imperial Capital this time, he should take a concubine.

This is your last chance. Are you really not going to regret it?”

Yu Niaoniao smiled. “Is that so? That’s great. When he gets married, give him a big red packet on my behalf. I wish them a happy marriage.”

Wei Liao laughed again.

But as he smiled, he couldn’t smile anymore.

Because he thought of himself.

Perhaps in Yu Niaoniao’s heart, he was the same as Shen Zhuo.

As much as she did not care about Shen Zhuo, she did not care about him.

Unknowingly, the two of them had reached the courtyard door.

A Sky Wolf Guard stepped forward and pulled open the courtyard door.

Wei Liao stopped. “This is as far as I can send you. Just leave this door and walk straight ahead.”

“Thank you!”

Yu Niaoniao walked out briskly.

Wei Liao watched her leave, thinking that this might be the last time they would see each other.

From now on, they would be far apart and would never have the chance to meet again.

Just as he was feeling sad, he suddenly saw Yu Niaoniao stop.

She turned to him and smiled brightly.

“If you’re free in the future, you’re welcome to come to Eastern Tang.” Wei Liao was slightly stunned.

When he came back to his senses, Yu Niaoniao was already far away.

She disappeared into the vast night.

The courtyard door was closed again.

Wei Liao curled his lips and smiled gently.

In that case, he was still different from Shen Zhuo.

Niaoniao did not want to see Shen Zhuo again, but she looked forward to him coming to Eastern Tang as a guest in the future.

“I’ll come if I get the chance.”

In order to find Niaoniao, Xiao Juan and Tang Guixi almost turned the entire Xingning City over.

They led a large group of people to search everywhere, but they still could not find any traces of Yu Niaoniao.

Meng Xizhou said, “Only the street in front hasn’t been searched. If we can’t even find Madam Duchess there, we can only dig three feet into the ground.”

Xiao Juan did not speak.

He strode forward with dark clouds in his black eyes. It was as if a thunderstorm could fall at any moment.

As they turned the corner, they bumped into someone.

Both sides were stunned.

Yu Niaoniao cried out in surprise, “Ah Juan!”

She spread her arms and threw herself into Xiao Juan’s arms.

Xiao Juan hugged her in disbelief. Niaoniao had actually returned. He had thought he would never see her again.

Meng Xizhou, Yan Nanguan, and the others were also pleasantly surprised.

“Madam, why are you here?”

Yu Niaoniao hesitated for a moment before telling them the truth.

Meng Xizhou was furious. “Isn’t Shen Zhuo staying well in Dayan? How dare he come to Xingning City to kidnap Madam? Isn’t he looking down on us Eastern Tang people too much?! Isn’t he afraid that we’ll kill him?!”

Although Xiao Juan did not say anything, it could be seen that he really wanted to kill Shen Zhuo from his gloomy expression.

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly advised.

“Don’t be rash. Since Shen Zhuo dared to come here personally, he must be fully prepared. He said that he had already left an edict. If he doesn’t return safely, Dayan will immediately send troops to Eastern Tang. We can’t kill Shen Zhuo unless we have no choice.” 𝑓𝑟ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝒷𝑛ℴ𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Although she had acted tough in front of Shen Zhuo just now, the truth was that she did not want to fight.

The commoners of Eastern Tang had just experienced a huge battle and had finally returned to normal life. No one wanted to ruin their hard-won peaceful life.

Xiao Juan naturally knew this.

However, he did not want to let Shen Zhuo off so easily.

He asked Yan Nanguan to bring people to surround the courtyard where Shen Zhuo was to prevent him from secretly running away. Then, he brought Niaoniao to look for Tang Guixi.

Tang Guixi was sweating profusely over Niaoniao’s disappearance. She was naturally surprised and happy to see Niaoniao return safely.

Xiao Juan told her about Shen Zhuo.

She was the master of Eastern Tang. She had to make the decision now.

Tang Guixi gritted her teeth. “He actually dared to kidnap someone under my nose. How dare he? Does he really think our Eastern Tang doesn’t dare to do anything to him?!”

Yu Niaoniao advised her to calm down.

Tang Guixi snorted. “Don’t worry, I won’t kill him.”

With that, she waved her hand and shouted.

“Go get my armor!”

Yu Niaoniao was puzzled. “It’s late at night and there’s no war. Why do you want your armor?”

Tang Guixi gritted her teeth. “It’s rare for the Dayan emperor to come to Eastern Tang. He’s an important guest of our Eastern Tang. Of course, I have to put on my armor and bring everyone to welcome him formally!”

Yu Niaoniao looked at her fierce expression and felt that she was not welcoming an important guest. Instead, she looked like she was going to fight in the street.

Xiao Juan reminded her, “Remember to sharpen your swords.”

Yu Niaoniao was shocked. “Don’t do anything rash.”

Xiao Juan explained expressionlessly, “It’s too dark. Grind the swords until they’re snow-white so that they can illuminate the way for the Dayan esteemed guests, in case they’re blind and mess around in the future..”
