Hearing this familiar voice, Ye Yue immediately turned around. There stood Rong Xun, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. But at this moment, Rong Xun looked haggard, showing no sign of vitality.
He walked towards Tang Youyou, picked her up horizontally, and headed towards the door. Moments later, Rong Xun brought Tang Youyou to his residence.
In her sleep, Tang Youyou seemed to feel someone taking care of her.
However, she tried to open her eyes but couldn't. She didn't know who was there, only feeling extremely sleepy.
A whole day passed before Tang Youyou finally opened her eyes. Looking at the strange surroundings, she realized that she had been brought to Rong Xun's place.
Could it be that he was back?
The next moment, two female disciples walked in through the door. These two girls kept sizing up Tang Youyou on the couch, whispering something to each other.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou patted her head and tried hard to recall what had happened before. Then she saw the two of them walking towards her.
The leading disciple said, "Where did you come from? How dare you be so bold as to sleep directly on the elder's couch?"
Tang Youyou looked at this arrogant little girl. She had no intention of dealing with such a person, so she got out of bed without saying a word.
Another little girl couldn't stand her fellow disciple being ignored by Tang Youyou. She immediately stepped forward, pointed at Tang Youyou and scolded, "Who do you think you are? Whether you're a student of the Qingyun Sect or not, you can't offend Sister Fei'er."
Fei'er? It was a gentle name, but it was given to an inappropriate person.
Tang Youyou glanced at Fei'er. This girl was simply dressed from head to toe, nothing like the flamboyantly dressed senior sister.
In comparison, this girl seemed a bit dull.
Tang Youyou said coldly, "Sorry, I may not know any Sister Fei'er. I only know the reputation of the senior sister. As for you two, I really don't know. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."
Seeing that Tang Youyou was neither soft nor hard to deal with, the little girl on one side immediately got anxious. She angrily prepared to step forward and teach her a lesson, but was pulled back by Fei'er on the side.
"Lingyu, that's enough. Stop talking. Let's wait for the master to come and decide."
Hearing this, Lingyu put down her clenched fist and said reluctantly, "But she has been so disrespectful to you. And she was talking about that woman. Don't you know what kind of person she is?"
The next moment, Fei'er immediately grabbed Lingyu's wrist and turned to walk out of the door. The breakfast they had prepared was left on the table beside.
Looking at the steaming breakfast, Tang Youyou couldn't resist her hunger. She walked towards the table, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
The taste was really good. Generally speaking, it melted in the mouth and was not overly sweet. However, the taste seemed a bit familiar.
Just as she was thinking, she heard a sound of footsteps from the door. Hearing this, Tang Youyou immediately sat up straight and listened quietly as the footsteps came closer and closer. When the sound stopped, Tang Youyou saw a figure walk in.
Rong Xun looked at Tang Youyou who was staring blankly at him and smiled gently, "What are you standing here for? Have you eaten the pastries I just brought? I specially brought them for you from Chang'an City."
Hearing this familiar voice, Tang Youyou's eyes immediately turned red. No wonder she always felt that the taste was so familiar. It was brought back by Rong Xun.
Seeing the missing person return, the anger and longing in her heart burst out together. She rushed in front of Rong Xun and kept pounding on his chest.
She also kept scolding, "Why didn't you come back earlier? What's the use of coming back now! Don't you know that I've been bullied?"
Seeing Rong Xun come back, Tang Youyou couldn't help but pour out all the words she had wanted to say for a long time.
However, Rong Xun smiled and said, "But why did I hear from Ye Yue that you bullied a lot of rich kids and made quite a bit of money?"
Exposed by the person in front of her, Tang Youyou immediately looked embarrassed. She said with a wry smile, "This... this is because I didn't have much money in my hand. I didn't have much left after saving a girl before."
However, the conversation between the two fell into Ye Yue's ears at the door, making her feel rather aggrieved.
It was clearly the Queen who had bullied a large number of people, but now she was crying about being bullied. This was really...
Rong Xun touched Tang Youyou's forehead and pointed at the things on the table, indicating that she should eat while talking.
After discussing for a while, Rong Xun finally couldn't help but ask, "Since you've been through so much, do you still want to stay here?"
Tang Youyou nodded, "Yes, I want to go in and take a look. I want to see what the rumored lover of my mother looks like."
This was only one of the reasons. On the other hand, she didn't want her mother to die in vain.
Eye for an eye, that was her principle.
Seeing that Tang Youyou was still determined, Rong Xun didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he simply told her about the next exam.
"The next exam was set by the Fourth Elder. I heard from him that he wants to hold a martial arts competition. However, this competition is not limited to the traditional one. As long as you can knock the opponent down, any method is acceptable."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou looked at Rong Xun meaningfully. She showed a mischievous smile and said, "It seems that you're giving me a blatant hint?"
Rong Xun was slightly stunned when he heard this. Looking at Tang Youyou's cute face, he gently pinched her cheek and smiled, "Yes, I think you should be able to win. With your little cleverness, those people should be no match for you."
Hearing Rong Xun's words, Tang Youyou said seriously, "That's for sure. There's nothing I can't do. It's just that you haven't thought of it."
Seeing Tang Youyou patting her chest and talking, a look of worry appeared between Rong Xun's eyebrows. He didn't forget to remind her again.
"The competition will be held the day after tomorrow. Stay here with me for these two days. I'll take you back then. After your competition is over, I may have to go back to Chang'an."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou nodded silently. She understood that Rong Xun had a lot of things to do. It was already very difficult for him to take care of her for so many days.
Tang Youyou patted Rong Xun and nodded in agreement, "Don't worry. I can take care of myself. The imperial city can't be without a king for a day. I'll be more at ease if you go back earlier."
The two of them seemed very warm in the sunlight. But at this moment, Ye Bai walked over from afar in a hurry towards Rong Xun.
"Your Majesty."
