Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1141 - 672: Mr. Sui, Are You Trying to Play Tricks? (Xia Liqiu the Eccentric +1)_2
Only Sui Yi was an exception, because she wasn’t a Central Plains person, the two with Natasha weren’t either.
Shi Feixuan also knew Fu Junnuo’s identity, so seeing the other’s cold gaze didn’t surprise her. She calmly watched Sui Yi ascend the steps and walk to her side.
"Teacher, earlier, I was the one who was rude."
Uh... You don’t need to say it twice.
Saying it twice really has a hint of mockery.
Sui Yi cast a sly glance at Shi Feixuan, who was smiling calmly.
"And then?" she asked.
And then?
Shi Feixuan pondered slightly and said: "Teacher, what a clever scheme."
Scheme?
Sui Yi was momentarily stunned, then she came to her senses. This person actually thought she intended to use her romance with Seo Ziling to resolve the previous rumors about relationships?
Such a convoluted thought... No wonder she had a feeling of predestined enmity with Wanwan.
"You and Wanwan... make me feel rather foolish."
Sui Yi’s words were a compliment, though they seemed so, Shi Feixuan still detected the peculiar tone in Mr. Sui’s voice, as if she and Wanwan were both insane...
This made Shi Feixuan’s eyes subtly long and slightly upturned, seemingly unintentionally, yet also ethereal.
"...Feixuan and Wanwan probably both dislike being compared to each other...."
Their stances are different, their relationship competitive, so how could they treat each other impartially?
Moreover, she truly disliked it, so she didn’t conceal it.
Sui Yi quite appreciated this straightforwardness from the other, so she also replied candidly: "That’s good."
Shi Feixuan: "...."
Probably having been revered as a fairy for too long, a certain fairy felt incredibly complex at the moment....
——The domineering CEO was pointed at and scolded by the innocent sweetheart, claiming your capitalism is corrupt and evil, I XXX will never succumb... But the domineering CEO smirked wickedly, good, you’ve successfully caught my attention...
Hmm, it’s probably that kind of feeling—if Gong Jiu were here.
Shi Feixuan wasn’t so petty, she just thought this Mr. Sui was truly one of a kind.....
Always speaking rather weird.
But she didn’t delve deeper, instead looking towards the distant sunset, believing this must be the most beautiful time of the day, the world still bright, yet enveloped in a luxurious thin veil of neon, standing on the bridge, bridge over water...
The sunset was just right.
"Teacher, do you believe there is good and evil in this world?"
"Yes"
"How does the teacher evaluate good and evil?"
"The good and evil you speak of, are they based on the vast world, or in comparison between the two?"
"Probably, there’s no difference between them now."
Shi Feixuan gently stroked the bridge pier, slightly closed her eyes: "In a land of chaos, don’t discuss good and evil, just winning and losing... Our Cihang Calming Studio and Demon Sect will inevitably have a winner, what does the teacher think?"
This sentence subtly reminded Sui Yi about her and Wanwan, Cihang Calming Studio and Demon Sect are diametrically opposed and cannot coexist, and Sui Yi’s choice is limited to neutrality or siding with one.
Either Demon Sect or Cihang Calming Studio.
Sui Yi would eventually have to make a choice.
And Sui Yi’s answer was.
"Hmm, makes sense."
Hmm... And then? Just like that?
Shi Feixuan paused for a long moment, silently bestowed Sui Yi with "dishonest" and "pretending to be dumb" titles in her mind.
Is this about competing with me in patience?
Patience, Shi Feixuan was not lacking, but she vaguely felt the other might be even more patient.
If that’s the case...
After a while, she turned her face, looking at Sui Yi, her eyes reflecting the sunset and water bridge, and Sui Yi standing on it.
"Earlier, the teacher invited Feixuan to deal with Wanwan, does this mean you favor our Cihang Calming Studio more?"
Here it comes!
In the past, when Shi Feixuan conversed with some people, it had hidden meaning, but she realized that when dealing with Sui Yi or people like Li Shimin, being too subtle wasn’t effective, because they’re all too hurried, too cunning, being straightforward is better.
Especially with someone like Sui Yi whose skill in "pretending to be dumb" is truly enticing.
Then, Feixuan couldn’t be blamed for being direct.
Sui Yi didn’t expect Shi Feixuan to suddenly say such a thing.
It did catch her off guard, but her composure evolved, she closed her eyes calmly upon hearing and said: "You’ve misunderstood.... Miss Shi."
"Oh? Teacher, isn’t that a bit of a cop-out?" Shi Feixuan smiled faintly, beneath that inconspicuous ordinary appearance lay a pair of eyes that don’t allow others to cop-out.
And Shi Feixuan indeed felt if Sui Yi truly intended to cop-out.... It only meant she misjudged this person’s character.
Sui Yi met these eyes with composure, calmly answering: "Earlier, I simply favored you more."
"It’s unrelated to Cihang Calming Studio, naturally, also unrelated to Demon Sect."
Shi Feixuan: "...."
So, indeed it was a cop-out.
And such a graceful, proper cop-out, leaving her speechless.
"Must Feixuan then thank the teacher for your favor?"
Sui Yi seriously thought for a moment, and said: "If it makes you happy, then a thank you wouldn’t matter, I’d accept it."
Shi Feixuan: "...."
Happy....? Haha~
She vaguely understood why Wanwan always targeted this person.
Just at this moment.....
She and Sui Yi both heard the sound of hoofbeats in the distance.
Three horses, three people.
Li Shimin, Li Xiuning, and Song Shidao.
These people coming together wasn’t impossible, just felt something was odd.
The three horses stopped under the bridge, equivalent to stopping in front of the residence where Kou Zhong and Seo Ziling lived, the riders looking up to the bridge, upon seeing Sui Yi and Qin Chuan... they seemed surprised.
Of course, Song Shidao was only slightly surprised, then his gaze fell directly on Fu Junnuo by the lakeside.
And after Li Xiuning nodded at Sui Yi and Qin Chuan, she saw in the courtyard.... Kou Zhong and Song Yuzhi. Currently, there was nothing between them, Kou Zhong had long dressed, Song Yuzhi was still glaring at him, the subtle affection hadn’t broken through, Kou Zhong probably didn’t realize Song Yuzhi might have feelings for him, and he likely only viewed Song Yuzhi as a genuinely unreserved Little Chili, a good brother, that’s why he allowed her unrestrained actions before...
