Chapter 266 Sauvignon Blanc 23
The night is hazy and cool as water.

The yard was filled with a slight aroma of wine, which blended perfectly with the rich fragrance of plum blossoms.

Ling Xi stood in front of the window, looking at Xuan, who was sitting under the snow-white plum tree in the yard drinking with Lao Sang, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"you are not happy?"

When Ling Xi was distracted, there was suddenly another person in the room.

His white clothes and silver hair made him look as white as snow.

Ling Xi was no longer surprised by Xiang Liu's appearance, and just asked: "Why are you here? Is there nothing going on in Chen Rong's army?"

Xiang Liu looked calm and replied calmly: "If I have to do everything, then why do I need those subordinates?"

That’s true, Ling Xi agreed.

She was lucky, and the people under her were all very capable, such as Rushou, Yiying, and She Shuhui. They cooperated with each other and were able to take full responsibility for her tasks. Therefore, she had time to travel around the wilderness, and she was away for more than 20 years.

Following Ling Xi's gaze, Xiang Liu also saw Xuan under the plum tree in the yard. His eyes suddenly darkened, and his tone was a little bit aggressive: "Because of your brother?"

Ling Xi looked at Xiangliu in surprise. Why did he think so?
"How did you know?" Ling Xi tilted his head, showing a little playfulness.

"Why else are you looking at him here? Looking at the stars and the moon?"

Xiangliu looked up at the dark sky, as dark as if it had been splashed with ink. Not a single star could be seen, let alone the moon.

In that way, the implication is self-evident.

Ling Xi smiled helplessly and shook her head. "I never worry about irrelevant people. However, you are right. It is indeed he who made me unhappy. But if someone sees someone else's shadow in you and often looks at you with that kind of nostalgic eyes, wouldn't you feel disgusted?"

In fact, during the first few years when Xuan came to Hao Ling, he was not very enthusiastic about him. He was more willing to get close to Anian. At that time, Anian was naughty, and Xuan took the initiative to get close to her, and she was also willing to play with Xuan.

And because of Anian's closeness and King Haoling's protection, Xuan gradually gained a foothold in Haoling.

But later, Anian found out the truth that Dixuan was willing to treat her well, and knew that Dixuan only treated her as someone like Haoling Jiuyao, and she was just a stand-in, a substitute.

Anian was such a proud person, and like her, she couldn't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. Since then, she was no longer willing to talk to Xuanxuan, and whenever she saw Xuanxuan, she was extremely sarcastic and looked down on him in every way.

After that, Xuan slowly approached her, cooked for her, brewed wine for her, and did everything he could to be good to her.

But Ling Xi knew from the beginning what kind of person Xuanxuan was, and that kind of kindness was not what she wanted.

No matter how good something is, if it is not pure and sincere, she would rather not have it.

So, she had been acting with Xuan all along, a play that they both knew was going on.

Therefore, she never had any real feelings for Xuan, and she didn't care no matter how good he was to her.

What’s more important is that there is more than one such person around her, besides Xuan, there is also her good dad.

She had also seen her great father show the same expression as Xuan Xuan towards her mother. What kind of expression was that? One of nostalgia, remembrance, regret, and uncontrollable emotions.

Her mother, she and Anian became a mirror for her father and Xuanxuan to miss Xiling Heng and Haoling Jiuyao.

Even Anian's name and nickname exist because of them.

Hao Lingyi, Anian, how ironic!
They wanted to find similarities between them and Xiling Heng and Haoling Jiuyao, but she didn't want to do as they wished.

After hearing Ling Xi's words, Xiangliu remained silent.

He has no relatives, so he can't imagine this scene.

But then he thought, if the little girl in front of him saw him as the shadow of another person, he would go crazy. Xiangliu stretched out his hand, and stretched his broad palm in front of Lingxi, with distinct joints and slender fingers, like a fine work of art.

"What?" Ling Xi looked up at him, her eyes flowing and clear as water.

Xiang Liu lowered his eyes and looked at her, his expression gentle and elegant, "I'll take you to a place."

After looking at Xiangliu for a while, Ling Xi's lips curled up slightly and he happily put his hand on him.

Xiangliu raised the corners of his lips slightly, secretly delighted in his heart.

With an eagle's cry, the ball of fur flew up. Xiangliu grabbed Ling Xi's hand and climbed onto the eagle's back, disappearing into the sky in an instant.

The ball of fur was galloping across the sky, and Xiangliu remained silent.

Ling Xi lay on the eagle's back and looked down curiously. She had never looked down on an eagle before.

The ball of fur flew lower, allowing Ling Xi to see the scenery on the ground more clearly.

They flew all the way to the sea, with Maoqiu stretching his neck and singing happily, and rolling violently several times.

Ling Xi's body trembled, and he subconsciously grabbed Xiang Liu's arm and held it tightly.

"Fur ball, fly more steadily."

Facing the cool breeze, Ling Xi spoke loudly to the fur ball that was rolling around mischievously.

Xiangliu patted the ball of fur, and the ball no longer dared to act recklessly and flew up in an orderly manner.

Ling Xi breathed a sigh of relief, sat down with peace of mind, and let go of the hand that was holding Xiang Liu's arm.

Xiangliu noticed this and thought to himself that he should have made the ball of fur fly faster.

Xiangliu stared into the void with a calm expression, but Ling Xi felt for no reason that he must be in a good mood.

"How have you been all these years?" Xiangliu stared at Ling Xi's delicate profile and suddenly asked softly.

Ling Xi nodded and answered without hesitation: "Of course it's good. I don't have to worry about food and drink. I also have my mother's love, my cousin who cares about me, and my friends and subordinates who are loyal to me. It can't be better."

She was not lying. Concubine Jing'an, Anian, Rushou, Yiying, She Shuhui, and Qianxun, each of them had a vivid memory in her life.

"What about you? Are you doing well? How did you join Chen Rong and become Chen Rong's military advisor?"

Ling Xi was extremely curious. This matter had always bothered her. She had already rescued Xiang Liu from the Colosseum that year.

I let him go because I wanted to set him free, but I didn't expect fate to be so magical.

After many twists and turns, Xiangliu finally became the military advisor of Chen Rong's army.

Xiang Liu smiled: "I must repay the favor of saving my life."

"Then I also saved your life, why don't you repay me?" Ling Xi pinched her waist unconvinced and asked with her chin raised.

Xiang Liu looked very "innocent": "Back then, I wanted to repay you, but you didn't want it. You only wanted a pearl."

Ling Xi: “.”

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have been so generous.

Who would have thought of what would happen next?
Never mind, why bother about these things now? With her, the baby snake may not necessarily follow the original path.

All her efforts and preparations over the years were not in vain.
