Chapter 285 Goodbye, We Are Strangers
When Ye Wenyan heard the three words "Quan Qinghua", he turned around and ran almost like a conditioned reflex.
It turned out that he was too anxious and forgot that he knew magic, forgot that he was on the roof, and forgot that the roof was slanted. In addition, he was drunk, and his feet slipped when he moved. He didn't step well and fell directly off the roof.
Feng Zhaolian was also confused. She wanted to help her but failed. She watched Ye Wenyan fall face down. She was so scared that she covered her eyes with both hands and dared not look at the scene. She thought that the house she lived in was high, and she would be half dead if she fell like this.
Feng Zhaolian was confused, and so was Quan Qinghua. He had heard from the servants that Princess Guiyue had gone out to look for wine late at night, so he wanted to come and see what Feng Zhaolian was doing. But before he could see Feng Zhaolian, he saw someone who shouldn't be in his house falling from the roof.
He subconsciously displayed his Qinggong skills and rushed forward to catch the person. For a moment, he forgot that they still had a grudge against each other, and also forgot that he hated this Fourth Miss Ye so much a few days ago. The moment he caught the person, he actually asked, "What happened? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Ye Wenyan was also frightened by the fall and broke into a cold sweat. As soon as she regained consciousness, she found that the person who caught her was Quan Qinghua. She screamed as if she had seen a ghost, and her body tilted. She finally rolled off his arms and fell to the ground with a thud, causing her waist and back to ache.
But she still had some reason, and reason told her that she had to run quickly and must not confront the Fourth Prince at this time. People already hated her to the core, and now she went to the Chen Palace to drink without permission. Isn't this a blatant provocation!
So she didn't care about the pain anymore, she got up from the ground and ran away, she ran so fast!
Quan Qinghua's face looked very ugly. He looked up at Feng Zhaolian who was still sitting on the roof and pointed at her, "You are really good." Only four words, and then he displayed his Qinggong again and chased after Ye Wenyan.
Feng Zhaolian could be vaguely heard shouting behind him: "Can you please leave one of you behind? How am I going to get down? Ah Yan, you knocked over the ladder when you fell just now. I can't get down now! Can you two be a little more responsible and give me a hand?"
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her. The two men, one running away and the other chasing, disappeared in a few seconds.
Ye Wenyan felt her mind was in a mess and she was getting more and more drunk. Although it was not the kind of magical wine from Yanhua Palace, it was deadly enough. She drank so much that her legs became a little weak.
She was running forward using the lightness skill of a mortal, and Quan Qinghua was chasing behind her. The distance between them was getting shorter and shorter, and he could clearly see her in front of him. So she didn't dare to use her magic. Magic was something that couldn't be easily exposed in front of people, let alone in front of people who had a grudge against her. If Quan Qinghua knew about this, who knows how much he would use it to make a fuss! So she had to use her lightness skill with all her strength and escape all the way from the Chen Wang Mansion to the streets of the inner city. Because it was midnight, it was not convenient to leave the city directly, so she could only run around in circles in the streets and alleys of the inner city.
Fortunately, the reconstruction of the inner city is now coming to an end and it is not so busy and tense anymore. The craftsmen all go back to their tents to sleep at night, and there are no other people on the streets except for a few teams of patrolling officers and soldiers occasionally.
She was not familiar with the route, and relied entirely on the memory of the original owner. However, after drinking, her mind was confused, and her memory was not very clear. As a result, she went around in circles, and finally rushed to an official residence in a daze, and decided to find a place to hide.
Then I heard the person who was chasing very closely suddenly laugh, "Fourth Miss Ye, are you going around the city to sober up? After sobering up, are you coming back to my Prince Chen's Mansion?"
Ye Wenyan fell to the ground with a thud and looked around in despair. When he saw clearly that he had indeed returned to Prince Chen's Palace, he became even more desperate.
"Master, Senior Brother." "Don't call me Senior Brother."
"Fourth, Fourth Prince." She admitted defeat and turned to look at Quan Qinghua who had already stood up. "I didn't come here to provoke you on purpose. I just came to find Feng Zhaolian. If you think it's not good for me to appear in Prince Chen's Mansion, then I'll call her and we can talk outside."
Quan Qinghua didn't say anything, just stared at her silently, making Ye Wenyan feel creepy.
"Let's talk it over and not fight, okay?" She thought Feng Zhaolian and Quan Qinghua might be in the same group. Otherwise, why would one of them suggest drinking and the other come right after she drank too much? It's not such a coincidence.
"You get up first." Quan Qinghua was helpless. He was furious when he saw this girl, but after she jumped off the roof and ran back to the inner city, and then fell down, he didn't know how to vent his anger. He could only persuade her earnestly, "You get up first, let's talk."
Ye Wenyan couldn't get up, so he just lay on the ground, "Promise me not to do anything first, and then I'll get up." "I... OK!" He finally nodded, "I won't do anything, you get up!"
Ye Wenyan then started to climb up. He managed to stand up, but his image was not very good, and his clothes were stained with snow.
Quan Qinghua took a few steps forward, leaning towards her, shocking her so much that she stepped back, "Don't come over here! You promised me you wouldn't do anything. A man should not go back on his word."
Quan Qinghua was speechless. "I'm not going to do anything. I just want to pat your skirt. Forget it, you can do it yourself."
"Oh." Ye Wenyan reacted and quickly patted himself a few times, but it didn't quite clean up.
But she was too lazy to care about all this, and only focused on explaining to Quan Qinghua, "I admit that it's not nice for me to come uninvited in the middle of the night, but I really didn't mean to make trouble. I just wanted to talk to Feng Zhaolian. Halfway through the conversation, she suggested drinking, so I drank with her. I didn't expect that the alcohol in your house was quite strong. I was a little confused after drinking, so I fell from the roof in a rather embarrassing way. But don't underestimate me because of this. My martial arts are still very good. I can definitely fight you well without drinking, and you may not be able to beat me. So you can't fight with me tonight. This is taking advantage of someone's misfortune and winning in an unrighteous way. Let's fight again tomorrow when I'm sober. By then, if you win, I'll beat you up as an apology. If you lose..."
"What if I lose?"
Ye Wenyan thought about it, "If you lose, can we write off all our previous grudges? In fact, it's not a big deal. I just used a little trick, because you only said that you wouldn't let me leave, but didn't say that you wouldn't let me hire outside help! So I'm not breaking the rules. But I'm still sorry to you, because I want to help my second brother. Yes, I just want to help my second brother, but not for that Third Prince. I don't know him, and we have no friendship. He even annoys me because I demolished his Prince's Palace. So you see, we don't have much hatred, so let's write it off!"
Quan Qinghua snorted coldly, "That's only if you can beat me."
"Then I'll take it as your agreement." Ye Wenyan was very happy, "Don't worry, I can definitely beat you."
"So confident?"
"Yeah, I'm that confident."
"Then why don't you tell me who your master is? What kind of master can make you so confident?"
Ye Wenyan twitched his lips, "I can't tell you. I promised my grandfather not to tell anyone."
"Hmph." He snorted again, "Don't use your grandfather as a cover. Ye Wenyan, although you and I don't have a deep friendship, your father is still my teacher after all, and on the night of the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, I did save your life after all. We can't talk about friendship, but at least we should talk about fate. How come such a fate is exchanged for you telling lies?"
"I..." She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
It was indeed a lie, but how could she tell the truth? She didn't have any master to teach her martial arts. She practiced ancient martial arts, which was inherited from the Xuanmai Ye family for thousands of years in her previous life. How could she tell this to the Fourth Prince?
Finally sobering up, she pressed her forehead and began to carefully tidy up her messy skirt. After finishing, she said to Quan Qinghua: "I know that some things cannot be resolved by a simple "I'm sorry", and some things cannot be resolved by a simple "thank you". I was drunk just now and said some nonsense to the Fourth Prince. How can it be written off with a fight? Your Highness, I still say the same thing. If you have any request in the future, I will do my best. So Your Highness might as well think about it, what do you want to ask of me?" She looked at Quan Qinghua, her eyes seemed to convey some kind of message.
But Quan Qinghua didn't respond to her message. He even turned his head away and said calmly, "What if I ask you to return the things your second brother stole to me? Will you agree?"
Ye Wenyan shook his head, "No."
"Then if I ask you to destroy your second brother's martial arts or kill him directly, will you agree?"
She still shook her head, "No."
"Then what do you want me to ask you for?" He looked at her coldly, "Ye Wenyan, what else can I ask you for?" "Fourth Prince." She said with consolation, "If I say I can fulfill your request, then this request must be something that no one else can do. You may want to think about it, if there is anything that seemed hopeless in the past, you can ask me about it, this is the most correct way to open my promise to you. Instead of wasting such a rare opportunity on exchanging something or killing someone. After all, this kind of thing does not require me, you can try to do it yourself, and some things... Your Highness, I am afraid that there is no one else in this world who can help you except me."
Quan Qinghua looked up and didn't speak for a long time. Just when Ye Wenyan thought he would stop talking, he heard him say, "Without the things you said, I don't need you to solve anything for me. Go away! Your second brother's matter is written off, and I won't ask you for the life-saving favor you owe me. Ye Wenyan, I still say the same thing, even if I repay your father for a few years of mentorship, if we meet again in the future, we will treat each other as strangers. This is better than anything else..."
