Qiao Yanhui looked at Liu Gexu, who was resting with his eyes closed. The reason Green Mountain Nation was suddenly on high alert was definitely because of him. However, Liu Gexu was really too annoying. In the past two days, Qiao Yanhui had thrown Liu Gexu out countless times, but Liu Gexu could always return. In the end, Qiao Yanhui didn’t throw him out anymore. He wanted to see what Liu Gexu wanted to do.

In the end, Liu Gexu didn’t do anything for the past few days and only kept staring at Xu Qing. How could Qiao Yanhui tolerate this? He fought with Liu Gexu, and Liu Gexu was beaten until he couldn’t move again.

At this moment, Liu Gexu suddenly opened his eyes and stared straight at Xu Qing. His lips moved slightly as he said, “You’re not her.”

Before Xu Qing could react, he left. Qiao Yanhui couldn’t chase after him openly. After all, Liu Gexu’s identity wasn’t simple, and those people at the city gate were also eyeing him.

!!

Xu Qing frowned. Who was he talking about? Xu Qing didn’t know why, but she remembered that Yi Chulin mistook her for Ying Zhiyao. Could it be that Liu Gexu thought the same way? So to confirm it, Liu Gexu hadn’t left no matter how hard Qiao Yanhui hit him recently?

“Little Hui, is Liu Gexu married?” Xu Qing suddenly asked.

Jealousy flashed in Qiao Yanhui’s eyes, but he still replied, “No.”

“Is there anyone he likes?” Xu Qing asked anxiously.

Qiao Yanhui frowned slightly. Although he knew that Xu Qing had no ulterior motives, he was still unhappy that his wife had asked so many questions about another man.

“There seems to be one, but that was ten years ago.” Qiao Yanhui guessed something from her question.

“Don’t tell me Liu Gexu likes Ying Zhiyao?” Xu Qing’s eyes lit up. However, she didn’t know how much Liu Gexu liked Ying Zhiyao. Could a piece of news be exchanged for a hundred-year-old dragon robe? Moreover, Liu Gexu didn’t seem as dedicated as Yi Chulin.

Actually, Xu Qing had looked for Liu Gexu in the past two days and mentioned the hundred-year-old dragon robe. However, Liu Gexu didn’t agree.

“We still need to observe the situation.” As a man, Qiao Yanhui knew that Liu Gexu still loved Ying Zhiyao, but it was hard to say if this love could make Liu Gexu exchange the hundred-year-old dragon robe for something.

At this moment, their group finally entered the city. However, as soon as they entered, a team of imperial guards appeared in front of them. The one leading them was the crown prince of the Green Mountain Nation, Leng Yanxing.

Leng Yanxing was dressed in a black and gold robe. He said towards Qiao Yanhui’s carriage in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “I’m here on the orders of my emperor to invite the War God of the Ancient Kingdom into the palace.”

Qiao Yanhui sneered. He had just stepped into the Imperial City when Leng Yanxing appeared, so it seemed that Liu Gexu wasn’t a satisfactory State Master…

Qiao Yanhui brought Xu Qing out of the carriage and looked down at Leng Yanxing. His voice was as arrogant as ever as he said “Since the crown prince of the Green Mountain Nation has invited us, we’ll accept it!”

Leng Yanxing’s expression stiffened, but he still politely arranged accommodations for Qiao Yanhui and the others before returning to report to the Emperor of the Green Mountain Nation, Leng Tongze.

Leng Tongze looked at the indifferent Liu Gexu beside him, but his tone was filled with reverence as he said, “State Master, why do you think Qiao Yanhui suddenly came?”

“Let’s see what he says,” Liu Gexu said calmly. However, there was a hint of mockery in his gaze as he looked at Leng Tongze.

Leng Tongze instantly felt a chill down his spine. Every time Liu Gexu looked at him like this, he felt like he had nowhere to hide. He was clearly just an aloof and noble young master, but he always had a murderous aura! Actually, he wasn’t like this in the past. One day ten years ago, Liu Gexu suddenly became so terrifying.

“Did you catch the person who tried to assassinate you?” Leng Tongze regretted it as soon as he asked. Liu Gexu’s slightly bruised face was telltale.

“No.” Liu Gexu looked at Leng Tongze and then at Leng Yanxing, who was standing. Weren’t these people the ones who pursued him? If not for the cold poison acting up, how could he be in such a sorry state? However, it was a blessing in disguise, since he met someone who was related to that person…

Qiao Yanhui didn’t want Leng Tongze to know his motive. Although the hundred-year-old dragon robe was the national treasure of Green Mountain Nation, Leng Tongze couldn’t make the decision. That thing belonged to Liu Gexu. Therefore, over the past two days, Leng Tongze had first invited him to a banquet and secretly asked around, but Qiao Yanhui didn’t say anything. No, Qiao Yanhui had said that their family was here to tour Green Mountain Nation.

Leng Tongze rolled his eyes. He naturally didn’t believe him, but since Qiao Yanhui didn’t say anything, they couldn’t force him. They could only entertain him with a smile.

“Do you think Liu Gexu will really come looking for us?” Xu Qing propped her chin on her hand as she looked at the calm Qiao Yanhui. It had been a few days already, but Liu Gexu still hadn’t done anything.
