Chapter 309 High fives as an oath
When Zhou Jingyu met Yun Yi's eyes, he inexplicably felt as if an invisible force had passed through his eyes, entered his body, and entered his mind, making all his thoughts completely exposed.
“Tell me your true thoughts.” Yunyi’s voice carried a seductive power.
"I'm telling the truth." Zhou Jingyu paused for a moment, then slowly nodded, his eyes somewhat unfocused.
Yunyi scrutinized him for a long time before snapping her fingers.
Zhou Jingyu's eyes quickly cleared, and he shook his head: "You hypnotized me?"
"Second Master could actually sense it? So, did my hypnosis fail?" Yunyi laughed.
Zhou Jingyu laughed along, "Yunyi, you really don't need to test me like this."
"There's nothing I can do. In this world, there are plenty of people who will betray you after you've served your purpose." Yunyi helplessly spread her hands. "What if I help you out, and then you kill me later?"
Zhou Jingyu's expression stiffened for a moment, then he sighed with a wry smile, "Miss Fang, do you have to be so direct?"
"Isn't it better to be direct? It's much more comfortable than having to beat around the bush with every sentence from you royals, isn't it?"
“Yes, you’re absolutely right.” Zhou Jingyu nodded. “If I could, I really wish I had been born into a simple family, and I would be living a happy life with a wife and kids right now.”
There are no "what ifs" in the world.
“Yes.” Zhou Jingyu nodded. “But Fang Yunyi, you may not believe me, but you should believe Lao Qi, Da Bao, and Qi Bao. They have feelings for you. Even if I’m a scoundrel, I can’t really let myself become a lonely person. Of course, you might say that once you’re in that position, what woman can’t you have? You can have as many children as you want. But how is that any different from being an animal? If that’s really the case, can I still hold onto that position?”
Yunyi raised her hand and touched her chin: "You're quite enlightened. Then remember our conversation today. I have no interest in the throne. Since you want it, I will help you. But remember, I always have the ability to protect myself, and even the ability to retaliate."
“Alright.” Zhou Jingyu extended his hand. “I, Zhou Jingyu, swear here that I will never repay kindness with enmity, or I will die a horrible death.”
Yunyi gave him a high five as a pledge: "The cycle of cause and effect exists in the world, even though mortals cannot see it. Now that we have pledged our pledge, we have established the cause, and we must bear the consequences in the future."
Zhou Jingyu inexplicably felt as if something had entered his mind, but it had already disappeared before he could grasp it.
"Although your leg has recovered, it's not advisable to stand for long periods for now; you'll still need a wheelchair." Yunyi's aura shifted, and she returned to the slightly lazy Yunyi that everyone was familiar with.
"Okay." Zhou Jingyu nodded. "Then I'll go back."
"Boss, are you really going to help him rebel?" Sixteen suddenly appeared.
Yes, this country needs a good leader, and he has that ability.
[Wouldn't it be so much more exciting to be an empress yourself?]
"You want to work me to death?" Yunyi retorted directly. "I came here to enjoy my retirement, but look at me now, am I enjoying it? Besides, I told you before, being an emperor is not a job for humans. It's certainly glamorous, but if you want to achieve anything, you'll definitely die from overwork. There have been 494 emperors in Chinese history, and only five of them lived past eighty. I want to live to be a hundred!"
Are there only five? Which five?
【Why would I tell you about Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Wu of Liang, Empress Wu Zetian, Kublai Khan, and Emperor Gaozong of Song?】 Yun Yi scoffed and immediately blocked the other party. This annoying thing only made her feel annoyed.
Sixteen felt a little guilty. Back in the previous world, this leader was quite impatient except when she first became empress and felt it was novel and put in some effort. If it weren't for the mission, she probably would have quit long ago. Now that there are no constraints, she is definitely not happy.
Just as I was about to say something more, I found myself blocked again. I could only sigh and think, "Oh well, I'll just go tame the wolves."
Xiao Linshan gave Xie Axiang ten taels of silver as a wedding gift.
"This is too much," Xie Axiang said somewhat nervously.
"It's not much, just live a good life." Xiao Lingshan patted the other person's shoulder, then turned to leave.
"I know she likes you," Xie Axiang said, watching Xiao Linshan's retreating figure.
Xiao Lingshan turned to look at him: "Do you mind that she contacted me?"
"No," Xie Axiang shook his head, "I just... do you really not like her?"
"I don't like it." Xiao Lingshan shook her head. "I'm the kind of person who never forces myself to do something I don't like. If I don't like it, I just don't like it."
"I see."
"I don't know if you like her or not, but since you've decided to get married, just live a good life with her... with Miss, things won't be bad."
“Actually, she looks a lot like my sister, but unfortunately, my sister is dead.” Xie Axiang smiled bitterly. “When I saw her sad before, I helped her out, but I didn’t expect…” He paused, “Now the girl has given me a new identity, and I’m thinking of living a good life with her.”
"That's fine then." Xiao Lingshan nodded, patted Xie Axiang's shoulder again, and then turned and went into the mountain. He had asked Yun Hong for an hour's leave before coming down, and now he was delayed by a quarter of an hour, so he had to hurry back.
Xie Axiang glanced at the silver in his hand and happily returned to his residence to pack his things.
Five people were brought out of the quarry by Yunyi at the same time. Mu Yan and Shen Jiajia were children who studied and learned to write with the other children. Gu Sui was a member of the Gu family and had now left with Gu Chengrui. So, only Ma Qing and Xie Axiang were left, and the two of them lived in the same room.
"Are you moving out now?" Ma Qing looked at Xie Axiang, a cryptic glint in his eyes.
"Aren't you leaving yet? But I'll pack some things and take them over in advance. Miao Miao said she has a room at her house, so we can just leave the things there first." Xie Axiang was in a good mood. "By the way, I don't need these things anymore. If you don't mind, you can keep them." He handed over some of his extra items.
Ma Qing's expression stiffened for a moment, but he still accepted: "Then thank you. But then again, you'll be a married man in the future, unlike me, an old bachelor."
"You'll meet a girl you like in the future, and our girl will help you choose then." Xie Axiang didn't notice the strange tone in the other person's voice, and instead smiled to comfort him, "Maybe we can even become in-laws then."
