บท 275: Scheming

Xiao Shi waved her hand and Yang Xu bowed and left. After this, only two people remained under the pagoda.

Chu Li remained silent.

He was reminded of Xiao Qi every time he saw Xiao Shi; his heart was torn.

Xiao Shi looked at his face with bright eyes. She gently asked him, "How is Sister Xiao Qi?"

Chu Li lifted his head and looked at her without answering.

Xiao Shi scoffed at him. "I do not even need to guess to know that you visited Sister Xiao Qi!"

Chu Li smiled. "Indeed, I went to the Snow Lunar Pavillion."

"Has Sister Xiao Qi gotten used to things over there?"

"She is fine."

"That's great. Sister Xiao Qi is not as picky as I am. She is free and easygoing - She can stay in any part of the world and still easily assimilate." Xiao Shi smiled. Her beauty would make a well-maintained garden of flowers pale in comparison.

"… Why did Lady Xiao Shi call me here?" Chu Li tried his best to change the topic.
