The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor

2378 Retrieve Music Score

Xiao Ba was extremely shocked, and she widened her pretty eyes slightly, almost suspecting that she had heard him wrongly.

However, Yan Qing’s expression was normal, and she couldn’t discern anything. If she didn’t hear it personally, it was really hard to imagine that such a person would say such words.

As if detecting her gaze, Yan Qing’s gaze turned and looked over.

The two of them exchanged glances, and Xiao Ba’s heart tightened. It’s probably because this scenario rendered him helpless, so he did that…

Luckily, Yan Qing quickly averted his gaze.

The strange feeling of suppression instantly disappeared.

Hearing Yan Qing’s reply, Wu Yao then forcefully nodded in satisfaction. “That’s better.”

Then, he looked at Xiao Ba and instructed, “Xiao Ba, in the future, you and Yan Qing—”

Xiao Ba glanced at him with grievances and said deeply, “Fifth Brother, you can leave after you’re done.”

Wu Yao shuddered and coughed. “Ahem, since this is so, I won’t say much then. Y-you can see what to do…”

With that, he was finally willing to leave.

Lady Shiyi pulled Lady Shi’er along. “Sister, let’s go.”

Lady Shi’er was rather hesitant. “But…”

“Eighth Sister and Eighth Brother-in-Law definitely have things to talk about. Why do we need to be here?”

Lady Shi’er was instantly enlightened. “Whispers?”

Lady Shiyi revealed an expression that she was worthy of being taught.

Xiao Ba’s forehead twitched harshly. “The two of you—”

“Goodbye, Eighth Sister. Goodbye, Eighth Brother-in-Law.” Lady Shiyi was agile as she quickly pulled her sister and left, leaving behind Xiao Ba in the mess.

Actually, she wanted to immediately disappear! However, things had ended up in this state, and it didn’t seem good for her to just leave…

Xiao Ba lowered her head, took a deep breath in, and walked toward Yan Qing. Not daring to look at the latter, she said conflictingly, “Lord Yan Qing, I’m so sorry… My Fifth Brother, Eleventh Sister, and Twelfth Sister all just came. They don’t know what’s going on between us, so they misunderstood. D-don’t take it to heart.”

Yan Qing’s expression was nonchalant as he nodded. “I know.”

Xiao Ba quickly looked up and glanced at Yan Qing. Probably, maybe, could be… Yan Qing just didn’t want me to be put in a difficult spot or become too awkward, so he said that?

“Don’t worry. I’ll explain to them clearly in the future.”

Yan Qing’s thin lips moved, and his words were on his tongue when he changed them. “…Mm.”

Seeing that Yan Qing really didn’t take this to heart, Xiao Ba heaved a sigh of relief and felt emotional for some reason. However, such an emotion was quickly brushed aside by her.

She turned around.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and turned around to glance at Yan Qing. “Oh right, I heard something today. I wonder if you know.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Do you know… Left Divine General?”

Yan Qing’s eyes instantly darkened as he furrowed his brows slightly and gazed at Xiao Ba alertly.

Xiao Ba saw his expression and thought that he did not know. “You haven’t heard of it either?”

Yan Qing was slightly dazed.

Xiao Ba nodded thoughtfully. “That’s true. I’ve been here for so long, and I haven’t heard of this title, let alone you.”

Yan Qing’s grip on the sword slowly loosened. “Why did you suddenly talk about this?”

Xiao Ba shrugged her shoulders. “That’s because you and that Left Divine General… have the same name! Shu Jing even purposely caused trouble for me because of this.”

Yan Qing knitted his brows slightly. “She put you in a difficult spot?”

Xiao Ba’s red lips curled up as she blinked at him, smiled, and said, “How is that possible? Am I so easily bullied? She told you to change your name, but I rejected it!”

Speaking of this, she instantly forgot all the awkwardness from before as she stretched her hand out and lightly tapped Yan Qing’s shoulders. She looked up slightly in delight and said, “I said that the Left Divine General has a distinguished status and won’t mind such petty matters. Then… she didn’t say anything! Even if the Left Divine General really finds out about this matter, he can’t do anything to us, right?”

Yan Qing looked down at her.

She smiled beautifully like a flower, with small hints of delight and excitement in her charming eyes. Probably because she just came back from the medicinal mountain, but she had a light herbal fragrance on her. It was especially mesmerizing when it was mixed with her usual fragrance.

His Adam’s apple moved as he nodded. “Mm, he wouldn’t mind this.”

Xiao Ba raised her brows slightly. “I guessed that, but…”

Yan Qing originally thought that she was about to leave, but she held her chin with one hand and stared at him thoughtfully.

His heart skipped a beat.

“But Lord Yan Qing, there’s something I still have to tell you.” Xiao Ba spoke hesitantly. “About what you said earlier… You shouldn’t randomly tell people that.”

Yan Qing was slightly dazed. “What did I say?”

“Whatever you promised my Fifth Brother just now!” Xiao Ba lightly grunted. “Seeing that you’ve helped me quite a bit, let me remind you: even though I did ask you for your help previously, you don’t have to do this in front of Fifth Brother and the rest! What if the girl you like in the future hears of it and isn’t unhappy?”

Yan Qing pressed his thin lips against each other slightly. “Why wouldn’t she be happy?”

Xiao Ba rolled his eyes. “Of course, it’s because you can only say this to the person you like!”

Yan Qing fell silent for a moment and nodded. “I understand.”

…

Yu Qian came to the yard.

It was as quiet as usual.

He knitted his brows slightly and said, “First Deity, Shangguan Yue went to the abandoned garden today.”

After a moment, a low and deep voice sounded. “She didn’t go in.”

Yu Qian’s heart turned cold slightly.

Even if the First Deity never stepped out of the door, he could still easily know the situation in the entire Fantasy Divine Hall. No matter what, he couldn’t compare to him on this.

Everyone thought that he had taken over almost all of the power in First Deity’s hands, but that was not the case. It was just that the First Deity hadn’t really stepped out recently, but in actual fact… he had never let go of any power.

Every single blade of grass and tree, every single movement and action were under his eyes!

After a slight pause, Yu Qian said, “Even if she didn’t go in, the abandoned garden is actually quite far from her residence, and the path in between is complicated. Logically speaking, it’s not likely for her to go there.”

“What do you want to say?”

“I suspect that someone is purposely luring her over.”

“Who is it?”

Yu Qian was stumped.

Actually, it was just his guess, and it wasn’t backed up by any evidence. At that moment, he could not casually pinpoint a person.

“I… don’t know yet.”

“Go and investigate then.” The First Deity’s tone seemed to become colder. “Come and report if you can find it. If you can’t, shut up. Yu Qian, do you still need me to teach you the rules of the Fantasy Divine Hall?”

Yu Qian was suddenly shocked and hurriedly said, “Yes!”

He clenched his teeth and could not help but say, “Actually I just… feel that Shangguan Yue is problematic. First Deity, when exactly do you plan to retrieve the music score?”
