In the end, Ye Rong relented. She no longer firmly refused and asked for three days to think it over.
The Hermit Emperor's goal in coming here had been achieved.
"Then I shall await the good news from the Big Dipper."
The Hermit Emperor smiled and nodded, then turned and walked away. Ye Rong sat on a bench and stared ahead.
Xuan Ji's eyes flashed. She hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"I really didn't expect that she would also …"
"There's no need to whisper in my ear. In the next few days, I'll carefully consider the pros and cons of this matter. I'll also send people to investigate the Hermit Emperor's words. I will definitely give you an explanation in three days, "Ye Rong said indifferently.
"Hey, what do you mean by that? Do you think that the Hermit Emperor and I …?"
"No one suspects you." Ye Rong sighed helplessly, her eyes filled with warmth. "But do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Didn't you follow me here to be a lobbyist? It's just that you weren't very successful as a lobbyist. You were moved by me. "
"That's because I'm worried about you," said Xuan Ji, pursing her lips.
"Yes, yes, yes. You're right." Nodding and smiling, Ye Rong leaned back on the chair in the pavilion. "But I really didn't expect it!"
Xuan Ji nodded lightly. Her divine sense quietly pushed out the divine sense Yang Jian had left behind.
They already knew what they wanted to know. What came next was the private conversation between Xuan Ji and Ye Rong. It was not convenient for them to continue listening.
"How is it? The Hermit Emperor has already left." Pu Jingwan frowned.
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and carefully probed with his divine sense. Only when Xuan Ji pushed his divine sense out did his brow relax and a smile flashed across his lips.
This time, he didn't share any information with Pu Jingwan and the others. Instead, he met their gazes with a smirk, then lowered his head and sent a message.
Erlang Shen: I'm back.
Ye Zichen's expression froze as he waited for Yang Jian's report. If you looked at it seriously, it would decide Xue Mo's fate.
Just now, while Yang Jian was trying to get information, Ye Zichen had already come to a conclusion.
If Ye Rong agreed, everyone would be happy. If Ye Zichen still refused to let Ye Zichen infuse her with starlight, he'd have no choice but to defy her and secretly contact the Hermit Emperor to save Xue Mo.
If he was found out, he would be grounded at most. He could act coquettishly in front of Ye Rong, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
In any case, he couldn't just watch Xue Mo die.
Only Idealism: How's it going? Any changes on my mom's side?
Erlang Shen: Aunty said that she needed three days to consider. The Hermit Emperor said that he would wait for the good news.
Invincible Adorable Beauty: In that case, didn't Ye Zichen's mom agree?
Monkey King: I can't be sure. Three days of consideration is not a definite answer. I can't be sure if I'll still reject him.
Ultimate Charmer: "That's right. What I'm most afraid of when I talk about business is taking a few days to think, because the result after thinking is barely satisfactory." However, this is also related to the client's personality. Zichen, you understand Auntie Ye rather well, you should know what exactly she meant by saying that, right?
If Ye Rong said this in the Modern Realm, the result would most likely be that she would agree.
But she was the Lord of Seven Stars now, and they hadn't seen each other for over a hundred years. No one could say for sure whether or not her personality had changed.
Besides, Ye Rong had been too resolute.
Only Idealism: It's hard to say.
Ye Zichen hesitated for a while, then gave an ambiguous answer.
Invincible Adorable Beauty: I don't think there's a problem.
Ultimate Charmer: I think so too. Auntie Ye loves you dearly. Even if she doesn't care about Xue Mo, she has to agree for your sake. Otherwise, Xue Mo's death won't do you any good. It'll only bring you endless trouble.
Erlang Shen: You seem to understand Xue Mo's identity very well. Just how important is her status?
Monkey King: What a waste! You're the Star of Slaughter.
Xiao Yumei and Pu Jingwan froze simultaneously. They cocked their heads and glanced at Yang Jian.
"Is he the Star of Slaughter?"
There was an unconcealable disbelief in their eyes. Yang Jian stared at them and said.
"I am the Star of Slaughter. So what?"
Invincible Adorable Beauty: This idiot is actually the Star of Slaughter? How laughable!
Ultimate Charmer: How astonishing!
Monkey King: Don't worry about him. He's just a simpleton.
Yang Jian's face turned green as he read the group's messages. He stopped replying and instead shouted angrily, "I'm watching you.
Even if you're saying bad things, you have to do it behind my back a little!
Invincible Adorable Beauty: Yang Jian can actually tell I'm saying bad things. Unbelievable!
Ultimate Charmer: How astonishing!
Monkey King: Actually, we're praising you, Erlang Shen.
"Don't mention me. We're all f * cking together. You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" roared Yang Jian.
Monkey King: The idiot's angry.
Invincible Adorable Beauty: You're so cute, Erlang Shen. Just looking at you reminds me of my little husky.
Ultimate Charmer: How astonishing!
Only Idealism: Alright, stop messing around. Yang Jian is a little simpleton, but I can't stand watching you talk about him like that. How could Yang Jian be a husky?
Erlang Shen: Ye-zi, you're the best. (crying emoji)
Only Idealism: Don't overthink things. I just don't think you can compare to a husky.
Invincible Adorable Beauty: Hahahaha.
Ultimate Charmer: (covering her mouth and laughing)
Monkey King: Hahaha!
Erlang Shen: You're all ganging up on me, aren't you?
He didn't know why, but this sort of chat group seemed to possess an indescribable magical power. Everyone was usually burdened with immense pressure, but in the chat group, they could completely let themselves go, and for a while, those annoying, trivial matters would disappear without a trace.
Everyone laughed heartily, and their faces were filled with sincere smiles.
Ye Zichen was the same. He couldn't help but smile as he read the group's messages. At that moment, however, the door to his room creaked open.
Ye Zichen, who'd been grinning like an idiot, suddenly panicked. He shoved his phone under his pillow.
The person who'd entered was, without a doubt, Ye Rong. She glanced discreetly at the pillow. When Ye Zichen noticed her gaze, he grew nervous.
"You're done chatting?"
"That's right. You know the results by now, right? I didn't expect the Hermit Emperor to throw me such a difficult problem. I'm really hesitant," said Ye Rong.
"You …. How would I know? You sealed my room, so I can't release my divine sense at all. But I really do want to know the results. What did you guys say? What did the Hermit Emperor say to you? You think it's a difficult problem? "Ye Zichen feigned ignorance.
"Mommy doesn't like lying children."
