Bab 970: Meeting Face to Face

"Who is it?" Xiao Shi asked out of curiosity. She smiled and added at the sight of Chu Li storing the metal tag and his growing-grimace face, "Afraid of someone?"

Chu Li frowned and slowly nodded. 

Xiao Qi commented in a soft voice, "What's going on? Three minds put together are better than one. We can talk."

Chu Li sighed. "It's better if fewer people knew about this!"

"You're so long-winded!" Xiao Shi snorted. 

Chu Li answered, "It's King Ping."

"Why did King Ping send someone to see you?" Xiao Shi could not wrap her head around it. "There's nothing between you two, right?"

"I was involved with King Ping the last time I went to the border." Chu Li shook his head and sighed. 

He was in major trouble this time. 

Xiao Qi asked, "For King Ping to send someone over, could it have something to do with Consort Ping's encounter with the assassin?"

Chu Li nodded.
