How … how could he say that to me?
Could it be that he has feelings for me?
Diao Chan quickly extinguished this thought as soon as it appeared.
How could that be?
Bai Feng was of high status and was deeply trusted by Prime Minister Cao. Prime Minister Cao had even bestowed a marriage to Cao Jie.
Cao Jie was young and extremely beautiful. Countless nobles had proposed marriage to Prime Minister Cao, but they had all been rejected.
Bai Feng was also extremely handsome. Even Diao Chan could not compare to him.
She was also good at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Bai Feng was about the same age as her, so they were a good match.
Although Diao Chan was praised by the world, she was already close to 30 years old and was old. How could Bai Feng like her?
Moreover, in the eyes of the world, Diao Chan was a femme fatale who could marry anyone.
However, that was not the case. Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu had never touched her.
But so what?
What the world said was what it was.
Even if Bai Feng was really interested in her, Prime Minister Cao would not allow a woman like her to share a husband with Cao Jie.
Diao Chan could not help but sigh at this thought.
Cao Jie, who was beside her, heard this and quickly turned around.
"Sister Diao Chan, are you alright?"
Diao Chan quickly waved her hand.
"I'm fine. I just thought of some annoying things."
Cao Jie could not help but laugh.
"Sister Diao Chan, do you have a sweetheart?"
"Look at your red face. What are you thinking? Father taught me that this is called a young girl yearning for love!"
Diao Chan's eyes widened.
"You're talking about me. Aren't you the same?"
"You're not allowed to learn those nonsensical words anymore!"
Hearing this, Cao Jie hurriedly shrank his head and didn't say a word.
Diao Chan secretly pinched her own arm.
What kind of nonsense was she thinking about?
…
After Cao Jie fell asleep, Diao Chan left Cao Jie's room.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the dark.
Diao Chan was not surprised. She turned around and said,
"You're here?"
That person gradually walked out of the shadows and said calmly,
"Hehe, Sister Diao Chan, why is your face so red?"
"Tell me the truth. Do you like Bai Feng?"
Through the moonlight, that delicate face suddenly appeared in Diao Chan's field of vision.
This person was none other than Lv Lingqi, who had run to Cao's camp to look for Bai Feng!
Diao Chan frowned.
"Don't talk nonsense. Why are you looking for me this time?"
Lv Lingqi found a rock and sat down. She crossed her delicate legs and said,
"Nothing much. I just had enough fun, so I came to see you."
"I fought with that Bai Feng before. He was really powerful. I felt that he was not inferior to my father at all."
Diao Chan was a little stunned when she heard that.
"You went to look for Bai Feng?"
"Yes!"
Lv Lingqi did not care about Diao Chan's expression.
"After he came, the entire Cao Camp underwent tremendous changes. Shouldn't I hurry over and take a look?"
"If my father was still alive, he would definitely want to fight with such an expert …"
When Lu Bu was mentioned, a hint of loneliness flashed across Diao Chan's eyes.
"What do you plan to do next?"
When Lv Lingqi heard this, her swaying legs suddenly stopped.
"I don't have any plans yet …"
Diao Chan glanced at her.
"Aren't you going to avenge Fengxian?"
Lv Lingqi shook her head.
"I originally thought so, but I met Bai Feng. With such a fierce general under his command, there's no way I can take revenge."
"Besides, my father asked for it. He can't blame anyone else."
"If he had been more open-minded, Gao Shun would not have died."
When she thought of Gao Shun, Lv Lingqi's eyes slowly dimmed. She no longer had the spirit from before.
Diao Chan was silent.
Although Gao Shun was much older than Lv Lingqi, his personality was extremely steady. Lv Lingqi deeply adored him.
But now that the dead were gone, she could only reminisce.
Just as the atmosphere was a little stiff, Lv Lingqi turned around and asked.
"I've always had a question for you."
"Do you … like my father or not?"
Diao Chan was silent for a moment. She smiled bitterly.
"What's the use of liking him or not?"
"The world sighs about the relationship between me and Lu Bu, but how many people know the truth?"
"To numb the world, Fengxian even adopted Lingju."
"Since the world sees it that way, what can I do?"
At this point, Lv Lingqi's eyes flashed.
"By the way, where did Sister Lingju go?"
Diao Chan shook her head.
Although Ling Ju called her mother, she was actually not that much older than her.
Plus, she had an extremely strange personality. She only listened to Lu Fengxian.
Now that Lu Bu was dead, Lingju had only assassinated Cao Cao at the Copper Sparrow Pavilion and had not shown herself since.
"I've decided!"
Lv Lingqi gently leaped down from the rock and smiled.
"I'm going to look for Sister Lingju."
"Maybe there's something fun on her side."
Diao Chan shook her head.
"That child's life is worse than yours. Instead of looking for her, you might as well live in peace."
"And maybe she's already dead in a foreign land."
At this point, Diao Chan's heart tightened.
Lingju had been extremely intelligent since she was young. Although she was not Diao Chan's biological daughter, she was deeply liked by Diao Chan.
"I don't care about that, as long as I'm happy."
"If I see Sister Lingju, I'll definitely ask her to bring me to eat good food."
"If she's dead, I'll also find her body."
At this point, Lv Lingqi's gaze became extremely determined.
As long as she was happy …
Diao Chan was a little touched by this.
When she was Lv Lingqi's age, she seemed to have thought the same.
However … after a long time, she seemed to have forgotten her original intention.
"Alright, I won't disturb you anymore."
Lv Lingqi stretched and said slowly.
"Since I've given up on revenge, I probably won't return to Xu Chang."
"If you see Bai Feng again, remember to help me tell him to treat you well."
After that, Lv Lingqi leaped and disappeared into the shadows.
"Treat me well?"
Diao Chan was stunned. Then, she blushed.
"Child, how can you say that!"
However, Lv Lingqi's words reminded Diao Chan.
She had been bound by the opinions of the world for too long.
Now, she was in Cao Cao's camp. Fortunately, she had Cao Jie to protect her. That was why she could survive in Cao Yingsheng.
Diao Chan had once thought that if Cao Cao dared to humiliate her, she would bleed on the spot to protect her reputation.
But now, it seemed that everything was for the best.
"As long as you're happy …"
Diao Chan looked up at the sky. Her gaze became extremely deep.
For some reason, Bai Feng's face appeared in Diao Chan's mind.
