The door was closed, and it seemed that only Xingyun, Shen Li and the Crown Prince were in the courtyard, but the three people present knew that when the house was "decorated" today, there were too many places for people to hide.

The Crown Prince sat down on the stone chair: "It's really not easy to see you, sir."

Xingyun smiled: "It's easier than seeing the Crown Prince."

Shen Li grew up in the Immortal Realm Realm since she was a child. The Immortal Realm Realm values martial arts, and everyone, whether officials or civilians, is bold and straightforward, and so is she. She hates others talking in official language to her, and she doesn't like others being polite. Shen Li went into the kitchen and looked for food in the pots and pans.

"I heard that you can communicate with ghosts and gods and know the future. I am curious and came to see you. I want to ask for a fortune. I wonder if you will tell me or not?"

"No."

Hearing his decisiveness, the prince's face darkened. Xingyun just pretended not to see it. "It's not his intention. I just don't like divination, and I'm not a person who can communicate with ghosts and gods. If you have any doubts, please find another way."

"Heh." The prince sneered, "You just want to raise your own value. Okay, if you can predict what I have in mind, I will promise you wealth and honor, high position and high honors. After I ascend the throne, it is not impossible to make you the national teacher."

Xingyun shook his head: "No."

"Young master, please don't be ungrateful." The prince looked around and said, "It would be easy for me to raze your courtyard to the ground today."

Xingyun took a sip of tea, and laughed softly, not knowing what he was thinking about. "Your Highness has gone to such great lengths to come here, just because you want to know when he can ascend the throne. However, the life span of the Heavenly Lord is related to the destiny of the country. It's not that I am unwilling to calculate it, but I really can't calculate it. And I don't think it will be easy for Your Highness to raze this place to the ground today. However, if you want to sit on the ground here, it is still possible."

The crown prince's face changed, and he slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "What a bold dog!"

Shen Li glanced into the yard from the kitchen, and saw a blue-clothed guard jumping out from nowhere, holding a sharp sword to Xingyun's neck.

The prince was so angry that he threw the pot of hot tea in front of him at Xingyun. Xingyun wanted to dodge, but was restrained by the people behind him, and the hot water splashed all over him.

Shen Li heard Xingyun groan, thinking that he was burned badly. Her pupils shrank, and a fire of evil rose in her heart. Just as she was about to leave, the other two Qingyi guards landed in front of Shen Li, drawing their swords.

Shen Li sneered and kicked one of them away, sending him flying and crashing into the Qingyi guard behind Xingyun. The two fell into a pile. Seeing this, the person blocking Shen Li stabbed with a sword, but Shen Li stretched out her hand and grasped the blade directly.

Her palm tightened, and the fine steel sword was gently pinched by her, and it wrinkled like paper. The Qingyi guard gasped in horror. Shen Li threw away his sword and ignored him. She moved like a ghost to the water tank in the corner, scooped up a bucket of water, and threw it out with a flick of her arm.

The cold water was like an arrow, splashing on the crown prince. The force was so strong that his body was knocked off the chair and rolled in the mud in a mess: "Hey, ouch..."

The crown prince was soaked all over, and his hair was stuck to his face. Shen Li completed these actions in an instant. For a while, no one else in the courtyard jumped out to ask Shen Li to stop. It was as if they were all scared by her. Shen Li strode forward, grabbed the crown prince's collar and pulled him up from the ground, staring into his phoenix eyes and said: "Get out, or die?" She was full of murderous aura, and her eyes faintly glowed with a terrifying red light in the dark night. "Big...bold monster..."

The prince was so frightened that his whole body twitched. He said these four words calmly, but when he saw the red light in Shen Li's eyes became even more intense, he immediately said, "Go, go!" Shen Li dragged him to the door by his collar, opened the gate, and threw him out of the yard. The precious prince was immediately caught by everyone.

A guard drew his sword. Shen Li sneered and stared at the prince and said, "It seems that you want to die here." The prince rolled and crawled into the sedan chair, shouting, "Go! Hurry up! You bunch of trash!"After the chaos, the courtyard returned to silence.

Shen Li closed the door in a bad mood, but saw Xingyun covering his face with cold wet clothes, and then sighed at the wet ground in the yard. Shen Li was inexplicably angry: "Are you stupid? You look mysterious on weekdays, but why do you only get bullied in front of others!"

Xingyun looked at the angry Shen Li and smiled gently: "I'm not as good as you, nor as good as you think." He is just a mortal, unable to escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and unable to leave this world.

Looking at the red marks on his face and the slightly pale lips, Shen Li suddenly felt a lump in his heart and didn't know what to say. Yes, he was originally an ordinary person. Such a little water could burn him. Once someone who has learned martial arts restrained him, he couldn't move at all. Knowing his destiny made him look omnipotent, but without that ability, he was just a flesh and blood body, so he would die so easily.

Then... where on earth did he get the confidence to live so calmly! Shen Li sighed, sat down on the stone chair, was silent for a long time, turned her head, and asked vaguely: "Today, did I do this, did it make things worse... cause you trouble?"

Although she beat people up very happily... but Lord BiCang was able to wake up after causing trouble and realized that he had caused trouble. If this was reported back to the Immortal Realm Realm, I don't know how many people would be amazed again. "Yes and no, anyway, I dug this mess myself, you just made it bigger." Shen Li was curious: "What did you say to him?" Xingyun smiled at her and said,

"To sum it up, you can say this: he asked me to be his, but I refused. He threatened to flatten this place, and I laughed at him for having to sit on it. He was annoyed that I laughed at his figure, so he started to fight, and then you beat him back."

Xingyun shook his head helplessly, "It seems that talking about people's figures is really a taboo." You deserve it for being mean... Xingyun's smile suddenly faded: "This person is stubborn and arrogant, and he always hopes that his father and brothers will die soon.

If the country is handed over to such a person, I'm afraid the world will be in turmoil." He looked up at the stars in the sky, looked for a long time and said, "I'm afraid the world will change hands." Shen Li was surprised: "Don't you dislike divination and fortune-telling to predict the future?" "This is not divination.

It concerns the fate of the country. I can't figure out anything even if I want to." Xingyun stood up and went back to the house. His voice came from afar, "His character can be seen, and as for the future... we can let it develop in that direction slowly."

It was so profound and unfathomable again. Shen Li curled her lips. She couldn't figure out whether this man was strong or weak. "Shen Li, help me get some water. I need to make ointment. If I don't treat it well, my face will be disfigured."

Shen Li gritted her teeth and said, "You are an expert at commanding people." After a pause, she seemed to have realized what was happening and raised her voice, "Why should I help you?" Whether it was the prince or fetching water, it was his business, why did she get involved now? The only thing she should be considering now was 'when to leave here'!

Suddenly, two muffled coughs were heard in the kitchen. Shen Li's angry expression slightly subsided. He sighed, then obediently walked to the water tank, scooped a bucket of water and carried it to the kitchen: "Go back and lie down." Shen Li pushed Xingyun away from the stove, "I'll do it."

Xingyun was startled and stood by without moving. Seeing Shen Li fiddling with the medicine jar for a while, he turned around and asked him: "Ointment...how to make it?"

Xingyun smiled softly: "Let me do it."

Unable to help, Shen Li could only stand by and quietly watch Xingyun pounding the medicine. It was rare to be with him quietly. After watching for a long time, when Xingyun's medicine was almost ready, Shen Li suddenly said: "If I'm not here today, what will you do? You can't stand being beaten, but you still pretend to be able to do anything."

"If you weren't here, I wouldn't be so arrogant." Xingyun said as he stirred the medicine in the jar, "But you're here, aren't you?" He said it naturally, which made Shen Li slightly stunned. However, he didn't even look at Shen Li, and continued to smile, "You are much more arrogant than me, which makes me look so easy-going. Just that fierce aura is amazing. Very handsome."

Handsome... handsome...

Has ever a man praised Shen Li so directly? When she was angry, the fierce aura she exuded from her body sometimes even made the Immortal Realm Lord feel helpless. Who would come to praise her like that?

Shen Li stared blankly at Xingyun's smiling profile. Although there were still traces of burns on his face, it did not affect his appearance, nor did it affect the way he touched Shen Li's heartstrings. "...Hand me the cloth, the jar is too hot to pick up."

Xingyun seemed to say something, Shen Li only heard the last few words in a daze, her mind was still in a state of confusion due to the throbbing, and she noticed that Xingyun was going to turn his head to look at her, Shen Li immediately moved his eyes away and reached out to take the medicine jar. Before Xingyun could stop her, she held the handle of the hot medicine jar and poured all the medicine into the basin.

It was not until she put down the medicine jar that Shen Li realized that her palm was a little burning. She blinked twice and rubbed her palm on her body twice: "Here, the medicine is ready." Xingyun was stunned, and saw Shen Li hiding her hands behind her back like a child. Xingyun sighed: "After all, you are a girl, and you really treat yourself as a man..." He gently pulled out Shen Li's hand hidden behind her back, and looked at it carefully under the light.

The palm and fingertips were a little red and swollen, but if it were an ordinary person, this hand would probably have been burned. He said, "You don't treat men like this... I'll make this ointment for burns, and we can apply it together." Shen Li felt a little strange when Xingyun held her wrist. She pulled her hand away uncomfortably.

In a panic, she picked up a random topic and said, "Yesterday, I told you that you were a disciple of a bald donkey, and you were so bothered by using bacon to anger me. Now you have been injured twice by the crown prince, why don't you seem angry? Do you think I'm easier to bully?"

"How do you know I'm not angry?" Xingyun filtered out the medicine residue and crushed it, "It's just that getting rid of people is the most urgent thing."

Shen Li was stunned and looked at him: "You? Getting rid of the crown prince?"

Xingyun smiled lightly: "I probably can't do it, but I can try to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Shen Li, accompany me out tomorrow."

"Oh... um? Wait, why do I have to accompany you if you ask me to!"
