Clang —
The sound of the zither resolved the awkwardness of the confrontation between the two people.
Ling Li followed the sound and saw Qu Lu looming in the gauze curtain. His eyes brightened. He said, "Oh! Isn't this Miss Qu? I only saw Brother Sheng and Miss Su Li just now. I didn't notice that Miss Qu was on the boat. It's my fault! "
Qu Lu smiled sweetly. Her sweet voice came through the gauze curtain, "Today, I am just a maid playing the zither. Childe Ling, don't worry about it. First Prince, the dishes are getting cold.
Let's start the banquet first. "
After being reminded by Qu Lu, Dongfang Sheng suddenly recovered from his anger. He almost forgot that Su Li was still waiting.
Dongfang Sheng calmed down and sat down. He said, "Come on, serve the banquet! Since Brother Ling is here, how can I refuse to entertain you? "
Immediately, a servant came to the boat and added a banquet table. Ling Li moved the wheelchair to the banquet table. Suddenly, he looked at Su Li who was sitting on the side and said with a smile,
"Oh, isn't this Miss Su Li, the first talented girl in Yunjing City? Miss Su is really a natural beauty, just like … Yes, a fairy descending to the world! Compared with Wu Xiuxiu and other vulgar girls, you are much more beautiful! "
These words and Ling Li's surprised expression were really funny. Su Li couldn't help giggling. She had never seen Ling Li act like this.
Dongfang Sheng was very angry. In his opinion, Su Li was too young to be deceived. She was actually amused by Ling Li. It was he who invited Su Li to talk business, but it became a place for Ling Li to flirt. It made him feel that he was cheated on but he had no one to complain.
"Ling Li!"
Dongfang Sheng couldn't bear it anymore. He shouted loudly, and the whole ship was immediately quiet.
Ling Li sneered in his heart, but he pretended to be confused and said, "Brother Sheng, you can call me if you need something. Why do you shout so loudly? It's not good to disturb Miss Su Li. "
Dongfang Sheng's heart was burning with anger, but he resisted the urge to curse out loud. He put on a fake smile and said, "Brother Ling, your body is suffering from some damage, so you should eat more and talk less. I happen to have something to ask Miss Su Li. "
"Hi!" Ling Li patted the handle of the wheelchair and said, "Brother Sheng, you should have told me earlier. I will stay silent. You can talk, you can talk …"
Then, Ling Li actually started to eat and drink without caring about anything else.
Dongfang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. There was sweat on his forehead. After he wiped it without a trace, he smiled and praised loudly, "Miss Su, you have been famous since the day you entered Yunjing City. Today I can see you. You are really worthy of your reputation. I have no regrets today when I see you."
Su Li smiled and showed her white teeth. She opened her red lips and said, "First Prince, you are so polite. I know I don't deserve such a great reputation. But my master is too famous. I just benefited from him."
"Sigh! You can't say that. "
Dongfang Sheng waved his hand and said, "As the saying goes, a great teacher produces a great disciple. The Lord of the Emperor's Preceptor can assist my father to ascend the throne. He must have something extraordinary. I have admired the Lord of the Emperor's Preceptor for a long time. I wonder if Miss Su Li can introduce him to me?"
"Well …"
Su Li looked embarrassed. When Dongfang Sheng saw that there was hope, he tried harder to persuade Su Li. Suddenly, a vulgar voice suddenly came in with the momentum of a sudden clap of thunder.
"Di Shi? I know! Isn't she the most popular girl in the Hongcui Building? I remember clearly that I was going to buy her that day. I didn't expect that you got her before me. I was disappointed for a long time! "
Ling Li held the chicken leg in his right hand and said with a greasy smile. Dongfang Sheng's heart skipped a beat. He looked back and saw that Su Li's face became extremely ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye. No one would feel happy when his master was insulted like this.
The sudden disturbance made Dongfang Sheng so angry that he wanted to stab the arrogant and disabled teenager to death. He rushed to Ling Li's table and finally held back his killing intent. He overturned the banquet table with one hand and said angrily,
"Ling Li, I respect you. Don't go too far!"
Ling Li tilted his head and picked his ears. He looked sloppy and disdainfully said, "Brother Sheng, what are you doing? I'm just telling the truth. Why are you angry with me? If my staying here makes you unhappy, you can just ask me to leave. Why do you have to pretend to treat me to wine and meat? How hypocritical. "
"… You!"
Dongfang Sheng stared and his hands trembled with anger. He underestimated Ling Li's shamelessness. Ling Li was more than shameless. He didn't even know what shame was!
"It's really unlucky for the Ling Family to have a grandson like you!"
Dongfang Sheng scolded in a roundabout way, but Ling Li nodded calmly and said, "I'm flattered. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. I don't want you to say that I go too far."
Then, Ling Li turned his wheelchair to leave the ship and went to the shore as if nothing had happened. Dongfang Sheng was so angry that he almost spat out blood. He just wanted to strangle this little bastard.
Su Li looked cold, but she still maintained the etiquette. She bowed slightly and said, "It's late. First Prince, you'd better go back to the mansion to have a rest. I can't decide the master's affairs. If the master comes to Yunjing one day, I will tell him. I'm leaving now. Please wait. "
The First Prince opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word in the end. He had completely lost his calm because of Ling Li's disturbance. His mind was in a mess. How could he deal with Su Li's sudden departure calmly?
"Ling Li! Ling Qinglan, I'm not done with you! "
Dongfang Sheng roared angrily, but he didn't notice that Su Li and Ling Li disappeared on the shore almost at the same time.
Qu Lu came out from behind the gauze curtain and ordered people to clean up the mess of the ship. Then she walked to the First Prince and said softly, "Your Highness, you are impulsive."
Dongfang Sheng exhaled heavily and sighed, "Ling Li, the little bastard, went too far. I made a fool of myself in front of Su Li. It's really abominable."
Qu Lu was disappointed when she heard that and said, "Your Highness, don't you think that Ling Li's sudden appearance tonight may not be a coincidence, but someone deliberately instructed him?"
Dongfang Sheng was slightly shocked and his eyes changed. He looked back at Qu Lu and said, "You mean …"
"Ling Qinglan!"
Qu Lu spat out three words, which immediately made Dongfang Sheng's face pale.
"Ling Li is an idiot. Of course, he doesn't have such a brain. However, if Ling Qinglan instructed him to make trouble and disturb your dinner with Su Li, it makes sense. It is the nature of a playboy to pester endlessly. Even if Ling Qinglan didn't deliberately teach him, Ling Li could also play well. Maybe, Ling Li is not an idiot as people think … "
The more Qu Lu said, the gloomier Dongfang Sheng was. Ling Li was a playboy even before his legs were disabled. It was impossible for him to hide his nature when he was in his mother's womb. So, it must be Ling Qinglan who instructed him.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. Although Su Li refused your kindness, she didn't say anything. She still has a chance. Our Hehuan Sect will try our best to help you. It's not a big deal for the Third Prince. "
Qu Lu comforted him. The First Prince was a little relieved. He made a fist and palm salute and said, "Thank you, Lady Qu. You people in Jianghu pay attention to the code of brotherhood. I can't be an exception. If there is anything I can help, just tell me."
Qu Lu's beautiful eyes lit up, but her worry soon faded. She said with a smile, "Your Highness, thank you for your kindness. The Hehuan Sect has no difficulty for the time being. If there is any difficulty, I will help you."
"That's good. Ha-ha …"
They talked happily, but Qu Lu sighed in her heart. She wanted to find a way out from the First Prince. But Dongfang Sheng's performance today made her understand that she only had one choice. At least Mr. Li didn't seem to be as reckless and stupid as the First Prince.
The river was rippling. The night in the Hongyan House was quiet and peaceful.
Under the river, Su Li, who went away and came back, leaned under the boat in black tights. She heard every word of the conversation between Qu Lu and the First Prince.
It turned out that the Hehuan Sect was behind Dongfang Sheng …
Su Li's eyes flashed. Qu Lu still hid something from her. Although they just cooperated, it was normal for Qu Lu to do so. But it didn't mean that she wouldn't blame her after she knew it.
Between the First Prince and the Third Prince, Su Li chose the First Prince without any hesitation. It didn't mean that she thought highly of the First Prince. It was because the Hongyan House was an ordinary place for others. But she knew it was the stronghold of the Hehuan Sect.
As for the Third Prince, he had something to do with Ling Li's force. With Ling Qinglan's mediation, she didn't need to waste time.
Thud, thud, thud …
There was a sound of footsteps on the boat. It was the sound of Qu Lu and the First Prince leaving one after another. Only a few manservants were still cleaning up on the boat.
Su Li listened quietly for a moment. When she noticed that the First Prince's secret guards retreated, she immediately floated up quietly and was about to leave.
All of a sudden —
The lake was tumbling. Before Su Li emerged from the water, she saw a familiar and handsome face in the dim lake not far from her. Su Li opened her eyes slightly and showed a surprised expression.
Ling Li!
He actually went back and hid under the boat to eavesdrop!
Maybe both of them were vigilant enough. They were afraid that the guards of the inborn realm around Dongfang Sheng would notice, so they didn't spread out their psychic awareness to investigate. They deliberately controlled the flow of the lake. The position where they eavesdropped was only a few inches away, and no one was near them.
Ling Li was also shocked. He looked at Su Li. He didn't expect that Su Li would come back and do the same thing as him. She had no reason to do so.
Gurgle!
Maybe they were too close to each other. Su Li breathed slightly. A bubble came out of the water and made a light sound.
