However, the Divine Dragon Empress hadn’t finished speaking.
“This time, we need to approve a larger batch of resources, which requires transferring them from elsewhere. So, you might have to wait a few days!!”
“Alright, I can wait a few days!!”
“Good then!!”
After saying that, the Divine Dragon Empress hesitated for a moment, then spoke again:
“I wonder if you have any plans for the next few days. Could I… borrow you for a few days?”
“Borrow… me for a few days??”
Hearing this, and seeing Liu Ruyan’s stunning beauty and full lips, combined with the earlier provocation from Liu Ningxian, Ye Wushuang’s mind couldn’t help but wander into inappropriate thoughts.
Even though he had seen everything of Liu Ruyan’s before…
…facing her directly again, he was still captivated by her charm.
Then, Ye Wushuang stammered a bit as he replied.
“This… It’s fine!!”
He didn’t ask Liu Ruyan why she wanted to borrow him for a few days.
But he felt that Liu Ruyan probably wouldn’t do anything bad to him.
Maybe even…
At this moment, Liu Ruyan didn’t notice the odd expression on Ye Wushuang’s face. Upon hearing that he agreed to her request, she immediately smiled happily.
Then, she explained:
“Actually, borrowing you for a few days is just to ask you to teach my hopeless younger brother some Dao techniques!”
“You were the one who taught him the secret to blending sword techniques before. Now he’s hit a bottleneck, so I can only ask for your help.”
“Oh! So it’s about teaching him sword techniques! I thought… Your Majesty had something else you needed my help with!!”
Realizing he had overthought things, Ye Wushuang felt his face heat up a little before he left.
The Divine Dragon Empress wasn’t very skilled in matters of emotion, and Ye Wushuang wasn’t particularly adept in matters between men and women either.
Especially in this fantasy world where strength was paramount, he really didn’t know how to interact with women.
After all, there were rarely people around him who were at the same level or realm.
After Ye Wushuang left, the Divine Dragon Imperial Seal beside the Empress couldn’t help but sigh.
“Ah! You missed a great opportunity!!”
“A great opportunity? What opportunity??”
“Of course, a chance to spend time with him! If you had asked him to stay and accompany you for a few days of fun outside, he would have definitely agreed. Your relationship would have progressed by leaps and bounds!!”
“Fun for a few days? Doing what??”
Liu Ningxian was still a bit bewildered. In her heart, she was focused on the promise she had made to Liu Shengsheng.
Moreover, the Divine Dragon Empress had no experience with dates. If she really had to go out with Ye Wushuang, she truly wouldn’t know what to do.
This made the Divine Dragon Imperial Seal extremely exasperated.
“You can just walk around and explore! The Divine Dragon Imperial City is huge. Have you ever actually gone out for fun?”
“Besides, when two people are together, even just wasting time together can be a happy thing!!”
“But this time, you’ve missed it. You’ll have to wait for the next chance!!”
Hearing this, the Divine Dragon Empress moved her lips as if to argue, but in the end, she said nothing.
However, since Ye Wushuang had agreed to her request, she naturally needed to inform Liu Shengsheng of this news immediately.
Because of this, Liu Shengsheng soon received the message that Ye Wushuang had agreed to teach him the technique of blending sword styles.
This thrilled Liu Shengsheng immensely.
“He agreed! Master, Ye Wushuang agreed to teach us the technique of blending sword styles! Master, we can go seek guidance from Ye Wushuang now!!”
“Really? He agreed??”
“Yes, he agreed! But… I agreed on my behalf, so Master, when you go, you’ll have to come with me.”
“With you… Alright then!!”
Originally, Yu Meiren had thought she would be going to Ye Wushuang’s place alone, to be with him one-on-one.
Upon hearing Liu Shengsheng’s latter words, her enthusiasm cooled considerably.
But still, being able to interact with Ye Wushuang was, for her, a good start.
Thus, she soon accepted this outcome gladly.
And when she went, she even dressed up elaborately.
Her top was slightly revealing, giving a glimpse of fair skin…
…enough to stir a desire to peek in anyone who saw her.
As for her lower garment, it accentuated her long legs to the fullest.
She even wore a layer of white gauze over her legs.
With the gauze, her legs looked even more perfect.
Her appearance immediately caught everyone’s attention the moment she showed up.
At the Royal Academy, many teachers couldn’t help but praise her.
“Wow! Teacher Yu looks incredibly beautiful today!”
“Gasp! Is Yu Meiren going on a date? I’ve never seen Teacher Yu look this stunning before!!”
“Probably not a date. Look, she seems to be going out with Liu Shengsheng. Maybe they have some business to attend to?”
“Ah! It’s a shame we’re not very close with Yu Meiren. Otherwise, we could have followed her out!!”
Yu Meiren’s outfit made people want to follow her.
However, everyone also knew that Yu Meiren was powerful, so they only dared to imagine it in their hearts.
Yu Meiren was unaware of others’ thoughts and didn’t pay them any mind.
At this moment, she was feeling a bit nervous.
This was her first time meeting Ye Wushuang, and first impressions were crucial. So, she needed to present her best self.
Only then could she successfully attract Ye Wushuang’s attention.
No one else knew about this, and Liu Shengsheng was still chattering away beside her.
However, Yu Meiren couldn’t remember what he rambled on about; she only remembered that she had finished her rambling.
About half an hour later, they arrived outside Ye Wushuang’s palace.
“This is Ye Wushuang’s palace!”
“But, Senior Clan Head has already taken Ye Wushuang as his disciple, so we should try to avoid running into Senior Clan Head to prevent any encounter.”
Liu Shengsheng was still wary of the Senior Clan Head, Liu Ning.
So, when he entered, he looked somewhat sneaky and furtive.
This sneaky behavior immediately gave away his presence.
“You brat, what are you doing here again??”
“Ah! I… I’m here to ask Brother Ye Wushuang for guidance on cultivation! My elder sister already discussed this with Brother Ye Wushuang!!”
“She discussed it?”
“Yes, and Brother Ye Wushuang agreed!!”
“If it’s been discussed, then go on in!!”
The Senior Clan Head, Liu Ning, also knew Yu Meiren, aware that she was Liu Shengsheng’s teacher and an outstanding youth of the Divine Dragon Empire.
So, after a brief check, he let them in.
However, even though he allowed them entry, Senior Clan Head Liu Ning didn’t leave. Instead, he remained there, keeping watch.
It seemed more like he was keeping an eye on Liu Shengsheng and Yu Meiren.
This made Liu Shengsheng rather helpless.
But he dared not provoke Senior Clan Head Liu Ning, so even though he was frustrated, he didn’t dare say a word.
And so, he led Yu Meiren straight to Ye Wushuang.
