Ouyang Zhu glanced at Xi Duanhong indifferently, "You should be punished for coming here without authorization, but the person who also gave you the badge cannot escape punishment."
"……."
Ouyang Zhu saw the compassion in Xi Duanhong's eyes and couldn't help but said with a smile: "What, you want to plead for him?"
When Xi Duanhong heard the sound, he bowed and saluted, "Sir, this is my fault. I asked the elder for the badge and it has nothing to do with the elder. If you want to punish me, please punish me and don't implicate innocent people."
Ouyang Zhu only found it funny, how could this woman be so stubborn and stupid, "What does it mean to implicate the innocent? It was a mistake for you to ask him for it, but he still gave you the card even though he knew he couldn't do it. It was intentional. You are just a newbie and don’t know the rules, so it’s understandable, but he, knowing the rules but still doing it, is knowingly breaking the rules.”
"In terms of punishment, if you want to punish him, he will also need to be punished, and it will be a heavy punishment."
Xi Duanhong knew that it was inconvenient for him to make excuses, and if he asked too much, he would only make more mistakes and make the people in front of him hate him.
"However, since this is your first offender, I won't be punished." As he said this, Ouyang Zhu took off his waistband and handed it to her, "If you come here in the future, take this. I am here today, and you can go with me outside." I said they would let you in, but if I am not here, how will you get in?"
Xi Duanhong took the badge Ouyang Zhu handed over. There was still a trace of his body temperature on it. The waist badge had a more delicate pattern than Chen Shuli's.
"Thank you sir, but this thing is so precious..."
Ouyang Zhu's cold eyes were a bit gloomy, and his tone couldn't help but become more serious, "Just take it as you please, why do you talk so much."
"yes…"
Facing such an uncertain Ouyang Zhu, Xi Duanhong's desire to get close to him became clearer.
The person in front of her raised her feet and walked away slowly, leaving Xi Duanhong alone. She wanted to get closer to him, so she couldn't help but follow his footsteps.
"What are you doing with me?"
"I..." Only then did Xi Duanhong realize how out of character he was at the moment, "Sir, do you know about the academy?"
"Nature knows."
Xi Duanhong squeaked and didn't know how to speak, but Ouyang took over, "You want to go back? Because you were taken away?"
She Xi Duanhong was not one to hold on to things, but it was the first time in her life that she had been falsely accused and imprisoned. She had never suffered such injustice in her whole life, so naturally she wanted to seek justice!
"Please allow me to return to the academy."
Ouyang Zhu snorted coldly, found a rocking chair and sat down, "When you came here, it can be said that you have no way to retreat and no way to go. Now that you have entered this concubine pavilion, you want to enter the court." Shi, Xi Duanhong, your ambition is big enough."
"No, no, no, sir, you have misunderstood. I just want to give myself a clean reputation," Xi Duanhong lowered his eyes as he spoke, feeling a sense of grievance welling up. "I have never suffered such a painful grievance in my whole life. Woolen cloth…"
During the conversation, a woman walked over. With her figure, appearance, and graceful figure, she was dressed in a white gauze skirt and her cold face. She was like a fairy descending from the sky. Xi Duanhong was fascinated by it. She had never seen such a stunning beauty. woman.
The woman stood not far away from the two of them. Ouyang Zhu, who was originally sitting slumped, became respectful when he saw this person coming.
"Jiutian, you are out of seclusion."
The eyes of the woman named Jiutian were always lingering on Xi Duanhong, and she slowly said for a long time: "The girl is beautiful, she looks like an old friend."
Xi Duanhong was puzzled: Old friend?
Jiutian didn't answer and then looked at Ouyang Zhu, "Ouyang, why don't you introduce me?"
"Xi Duanhong, you came here to escape," he said, not showing any laziness towards her when facing Jiutian. He always looked respectful when facing Jiutian, "This elder of the Divine Cave Qingwu Jiutian."
Xi Duanhong is a very discerning person. They are all elders, but they know how important they are. "Xi Duanhong has met the elders."
"There is no need to salute me, everyone does the same. Where did Miss Xi come from?"
Qingwu Jiutian's voice is very ethereal, and it is like the trickling water in spring that refreshes the heart and mind, making people want to get closer.
Xi Duanhong stepped back very well and said, "I am from the academy. I, Elder Qingwu, must have something important to discuss with you. I won't interrupt you and will leave."
Xi Duanhong didn’t know why the idea of escaping from here came to his mind.
Ouyang Zhu's eyes never left her body, all of which were looked at by Qing Wu Jiutian. She knew that she had failed. She had lost completely. The new man had really defeated the old man.
"Zhu, you like her, don't you?"
"Why do you think so?"
Qingwu Jiutian smiled and said, "Looking at the murderous and decisive pavilion master missing, he must have someone he cares about. Otherwise, how could such a lively and lively person leave the beautiful woman here? Why meet such a reckless little girl?"
Perhaps he was right, Ouyang Zhu's eyes softened, and he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the retreating figure, "You are always very accurate in reading people, and you are also good at telling fortunes. Why don't you tell her fortune for me?"
Qing Wu Jiutian sat on the bench next to Ouyang Zhu, holding her chin with one hand and looking at the young man in front of her who was only twenty years old with a smile, "I can tell fortunes to everyone in the world, but I can't tell them to you and her."
"Why?"
"Both of you are variables, and your fate is full of twists and turns. If you count, it's a mistake. If you don't count, it's also a mistake. It's unbelievable."
——"Wow!"
A burst of sword light flashed, and the platycodon flower next to Ouyang Zhu fell to the ground.
Qingwu Jiutian shook his head helplessly and looked at the platycodon scratched on the ground and said regretfully: "Why do you do anything to flowers and plants when you are not in a good mood? Zhu, this is a bad habit."
Ouyang Zhu pointed his sword at Qing Wu Jiutian with cold eyes, "What is right and what is wrong? What can't be said and what can't be done cannot be trusted. How can you convince the public with these three don'ts? If I insist on knowing whether you will say it or not."
Seeing the childish behavior of the person in front of him, Qing Wu Jiutian couldn't help but smile, "There is nothing you can do, nothing you can say, nothing you can say, nothing you can trust, nothing you can believe, nothing right or wrong that can convince the public. , it’s okay to insist on knowing.”
"You want to see even the worst outcome?"
"Want to see."
Qingwu Jiutian smiled and waved her hands, "That's all, I don't know what you are thinking. You are struggling. She is a good girl, and she can also be a good chess piece. Whether she is a good girl or a good chess piece depends on how you decide."
"Tan Yanxian already knows about my return to the court. Your Majesty is a wise king, but it's a pity that he has such a cancer around him."
Qingwu Jiutian looked at Ouyang Zhu worriedly, "As long as Xu Lingxiang is here, Tan Yanxian's power will continue to expand. Even if you intend to assist Mingjun, you may not be able to do anything."
"..."
——
Xi Duanhong left the center and wandered around the villa aimlessly. Her purpose was simple. She wanted to clear her name, but she didn't have the right reason or the right opportunity to accomplish it.
The opportunity... Xi Duanhong suddenly remembered the invitation given to her by Manager A Yue that day, but it was a pity that she had returned it at the time, and she didn't know what was going on with the academy now...
As he walked, Xi Duanhong came to a clear pool. The clear water in the pool was so clear that he could see the bottom. Looking at the reflected shadow, Xi Duanhong was in a trance.
