Chapter 222 A Promise Fulfilled
"What did you do?"
"Who said that?"
After this incident fermented, Wei Junxiu immediately suspected Liu Li.
"It's indeed something Liu Li would do..."
Lin Manyu covered her mouth and giggled. She really couldn't imagine that someone could be so weird and bold.
Zu Ju, who knew the inside story, coughed lightly and showed an innocent expression to Liu Li, indicating that she was not the one who exposed it.
"Who let the cat out of the bag?"
"It's not me, Boss..."
"It's not me..."
"I have always kept my mouth shut..."
Lin Feiyu and the other two patted their chests and assured that they had absolutely not done anything to leak any information.
“In fact, we don’t need to worry too much…” Zu Ju comforted her, “Even if they know that it was you who did it, they dare not attack due to your status, and can only suffer in silence…”
"Reasonable..." Liu Li nodded seriously.
"So you didn't use your brain at all before you took action?" Wei Junxiu sneered.
"You guessed it right." Liu Li gave a thumbs up.
"..."
Just as the two were about to continue their sarcastic remarks, there was a knock on the door.
When they saw the person coming, everyone gasped.
"I have something to do in Weijing tomorrow, so you can have another day of fun..." Miaoying was wearing casual clothes and seemed to be in a good mood. "Liu Li, remember to get my permission next time."
"Okay." Liu Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Miaoying didn't blame him.
To be honest, he had no intention of hiding this matter, he just planned to act first and report it later to vent his anger.
But at this time no one cared about the truth of the matter.
"This...Aunt, did you just see it?" Wei Junxiu opened her mouth wide, "The commander seemed to smile..."
"It's true, I saw it too..." Lin Manyu nodded heavily, with disbelief in her eyes.
"He did laugh..." Zu Ju was also surprised, but after glancing at Liu Li out of the corner of her eye, she already had the answer in her mind.
"It's not a big deal..." Liu Li felt confused.
"What do you know!" the three women said in unison, making the men in the room grimace in anger.
After several fights.
Liu Li left Lin Manyu and Zu Ju alone.
"Manyu, Yuan Bo said to put you in solitary confinement. Are you okay after running away for so long..."
"It's okay, as long as we go to the Heavenly Palace tomorrow morning..."
"Okay!" Liu Li nodded, then coughed lightly and straightened his body.
Seeing this, Zu Ju and Lin Manyu knew that Liu Li was going to explain something serious.
Liu Li said: "I will go to the Western Empire in a few days..."
The two women nodded. This was an arrangement Liu Li had made a long time ago, so they were not surprised.
"The journey to the empire is long..." Lin Manyu suddenly held Zuju's hand and showed an understanding smile, "I feel much more at ease with Aunt Zu taking care of you!"
The relationship between Liu Li and Zu Ju could not be hidden from anyone.
Liu Li had no intention of deceiving Lin Manyu, fortunately she confessed early on.
It’s been a long journey.
Lin Manyu saw it all and also had a fierce ideological struggle.
Han Rui told her that Liu Li's future was destined to be bright and that restraining him would be counterproductive.
Lin Manyu didn't have a deep understanding of love between men and women, but she knew that Han Rui and Lin Peng's relationship was not harmonious.
After Lin Peng's death.
Han Rui only realized later how much of a rift her strong personality had created in her family.
So she hoped that Lin Manyu would not repeat the same mistake.
“Miss Manyu…” Zuju’s expression was extremely blushing, like a kitten caught while stealing fish.
Liu Li breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. At least there was no hostility between the two of them.
"Listen to me..." Liu Li said seriously, "I plan to go alone this time, and my aunt has to stay in Aurora!"
"Why?" The two asked in unison. Zu Ju found it hard to accept. "Are you afraid that I will be in danger again?"
Although with Fuhua's help, Zuju woke up.
But she always felt guilty in her heart, guilty that she had not fulfilled her responsibilities and had become Liu Li's weak spot.
“This is just one aspect…”
Liu Li chuckled and took the two women's hands, feeling the warmth of their palms.
"You are all the most important people to me. I definitely don't want you to be in danger..."
"I know it's better to share the hardship together now, but I have something more important that I need you to do..."
"Miaoying and Yuanbo have already promised me that they will allow my aunt to become the first official alchemist. They will then set up corresponding positions and assessment standards as a starting point for studying this discipline..."
"I want my great aunt to have more say, at least to establish her own school in Zhendan and promote alchemy as much as possible..."
"So this time, Auntie has to stay and do more important things..."
"..."
Liu Li told her plan.
"Really?" Zu Ju couldn't help but tear up after hearing this.
Being able to obtain official certification and establish alchemy as a separate discipline, with herself as the founder, this was far beyond what she had ever desired...
This surprise is really huge...
"It's true. Liu Li would never lie."
Lin Manyu, who knew what Zu Ju had gone through, understood her inner pain and immediately hugged her to comfort her.
The two women didn't look like rivals at this moment, they were as close as sisters.
"I've said before, I will let you live in Zhendan without any worries, in your true appearance..."
Liu Li gently wiped away the tears from Zu Ju's face.
The latter nodded with tears in his eyes and smiled.
"Leave the journey to the west to me, Miaoying will not let anything happen to me."
"it is good……"
Having said this, the two women said no more.
She believed Liu Li could do it, even more than she believed in herself.
After a while.
Liu Li and Lin Manyu were on their way back to the Heavenly Palace.
There were Shadow Crow Guards on duty on both sides of the street. That was the protection that Zhao Song secretly arranged for the couple.
"What a bunch of voyeurs..."
"what?"
"It's okay... I mean the moonlight is so beautiful..."
"Are you as beautiful as me?"
"You are the most beautiful..."
"Liu Li..."
Under the silent moonlight, Lin Manyu could clearly hear the two people's heartbeats.
She knew that Liu Li's heart was not as calm as when she spoke, which made her feel a little secretly happy.
"After one year, you must come back and marry me..."
Lin Manyu spoke word by word.
After saying that.
She didn't wait for Liu Li's affirmative answer, but suddenly stood on tiptoe.
He grabbed Liu Li's shoulders with both hands, moved his lips close to hers at the speed of light, and kissed her deeply.
Liu Li knew.
No answer is needed at this time.
Just respond as much as you like.
"Did you write it?"
On a roof somewhere, Zhao Song asked his men.
"Reporting to the deputy commander, I have already written it down..."
"On X day of X month of X year, Nan Gao Junior Commander Liu Li and the daughter of Donghe lord Lin Peng kissed in Weijing XX Road..."
When Zhao Song heard this, he smacked his lips.
"Change it, write the process in more detail, and emphasize the 'forced kiss'!"
"Who kissed who?"
"Nonsense, of course it was Lin Manyu who forcefully kissed Liu Li!"
"Okay, I'll change it right away."
