Chapter 698 Unexpected Relationship

The room fell silent.

Lord Shengtian stared at Li, trying to tell whether this was a fact or a joke from her eyes.

It was so unbelievable to say that everyone was angry that His Holiness didn’t know what expression to use in response to the other person’s remarks. Loud rebuttal? laugh it off? Or was he ridiculing her that this was just a lie fabricated by a superior?

She didn't quite believe that Li would lie about this.

Because there is no point in lying.

She is about to go to Jinxia City, where everything will come to light. It is impossible to hide this kind of lie from her.

The only thing that His Holiness could think of was that Xia Fan or Princess Guangping had tampered with the numbers to create a vibrant scene in Jinxia City.

But even if it is a lie, this thing is too imaginative.

Once everyone is a Qi-sensing person, Jinxia will become the regime with the greatest war potential on land. Even if it confronts Qixing head-on, there is no chance of winning. But in the same way, too many people who are affected by Qi will double the risk of evil spirits infection. Even if strict precautions are taken and everyone can live to a good death, there will still be a high probability of causing evil spirits, just like what happened when the Yong Dynasty was destroyed.

She closed her eyes and decided to suppress all the waves in her heart.

No, no, no... Jin Xia's condition must be determined by her eyes.

The real purpose of her coming here was just to understand Li's life in the past ten years.

"It is too early to draw this conclusion. It may be that after Jinxia took in refugees from all parties, the number of people who sensed Qi increased significantly." Venerable Shengtian took the initiative to change the topic, "This person named Xia Fan, with the princess, The relationship must be quite tense. You'd better be careful not to get too close to him——"

Halfway through, she realized there was something wrong with her words.

I show too much concern for the other person.

Theoretically speaking, Li is just a stranger he met today.

The content of the conversation should also be limited to the extent of "cooperative considerations".

"Ahem... What I mean is that this kind of hidden danger may hinder the stability of Jinxia. If the two parties really want to cooperate, the Salvation Church must consider this impact."

Li tilted his head, "Why?"

"Isn't this a matter of course?" The venerable raised his eyebrows, "According to you, Xia Fan has made countless contributions. In other words, there is no reward. I am afraid that the princess will also feel a headache. Now there is only In Jinxia, ​​maybe the two sides can maintain the status quo, but when she takes over Shangyuan, the situation will not be optimistic. Throughout the ages, powerful officials have only two ways to go, either one step closer or... you, as a member of his faction, will be doomed. As a member of the Communist Party of China, it is better to make a neutral stance in advance.”

"You are worrying too much," Li pouted, "these two are going to be together."

The Venerable was immediately choked, "What?"

"The princess was seriously injured a while ago and fell into a coma. If Xia Fan had had any idea, he would have become the actual controller of Jinxia long ago." Li crossed his arms and said a little depressed, "As a result, he ran directly to the West Pole, from the Saint The Yi Island Kingdom brought back those who were affected by Qi from overseas for treatment, and it took more than three months to revive the princess. Do you think there is such a powerful minister in the human world? "

She didn't know why she was telling the other party this.

This conversation has become more of a casual conversation between acquaintances.

But the strange thing is that she didn't feel very strange when she said it, as if the person in front of her had been getting along for a long time.

The moment this idea emerged, Li was slightly startled.

Why do you feel this way?

She secretly looked at the other person again, and it was indeed an unfamiliar face. But the other person's every look, word, and demeanor made me feel an inexplicable feeling of nostalgia.

Apart from Xia Fan, this was the first time she had experienced such relaxation and kindness from another person.

Venerable Shengtian's attention was focused on what Li said, and she noticed something was wrong. "Why are you so familiar with the affairs of the Xia family boy and the princess? The news that the ruler of a city is unconscious should not be known to ordinary people, right?"

"Xia Fan doesn't hide anything from me." Li shook his tail and said, "I often go to His Highness Ning's palace, and sometimes I stay there overnight. This time I went to the West Pole, and I went with him. , and also helped the Hera Church eliminate a big demon..."

"Wait a minute," the Venerable couldn't help but interrupt, "What is your daily relationship with Xia Fan?"

Li Mengyun suddenly discovered a blind spot.

She initially thought that Li followed Xia Fan to Jinxia in order to repay the favor of his life, and Xia Fan only used this human debt to make the fox demon work for him. Therefore, the relationship between the two should be superior and subordinate. Li usually works in the Secretariat. When necessary, Xia Fan only meets Li and assigns her corresponding tasks. What she knows is basically the same as that of ordinary Jinxia officials, and her position is far lower than that of Qing'er girl.

But as she listened, Li Mengyun realized that Li knew too much.

It was as if she was present in all Jinxia's decision-making meetings.

Li's face blushed slightly, "Actually... there's no special relationship. He likes to touch my tail and ears. He occasionally talks to me about new ideas before going to bed. Some of them sound like delusions, but some of them have already been in gold. Xiacheng is gradually coming to fruition——"

Lord Shengtian suddenly stood up.

"What did you say!? Before going to bed? You live with him?"

"Yeah, is there anything strange?" Li said as a matter of course, "I have been with him since I left Qingshan Town. There is no need for demons to follow the etiquette of the human world, right?"

Crack!

Li Mengyun felt her forehead swell up.

Good guy, he actually dared to take advantage of Li!

This was indeed her mistake - in the past education, she did not teach Li about this matter at all, because she never thought that a Taoist priest would accept a demon like Li. After being released into the wild, Li would naturally learn how to keep a distance from hostile humans. It would be good if the two sides did not fight each other. This situation can be said to be purely accidental.

But her mistake cannot be a reason for Xia Fan to act recklessly!

Like to touch Li's tail and ears?

Is this something a normal person can do!

As for the important information about their trip to the West, they were all forgotten by Venerable Shengtian.

"Are you... okay?" Li suddenly felt that the other person's expression was a little off, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop a bit, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, this has nothing to do with you." The Venerable said coldly, "I will come to you early tomorrow morning, you should sleep well tonight, and don't think about exploring the patio anymore."

After that, she walked out of the room without looking back.

In this way, even if the two sides have no plans to cooperate, she has to go to Jinxia.

Stuck, stuck, stuck... a bit difficult to handle
