The Emperor is kidnapped, and the useless daughter destroys the three realms

Chapter 414 Heartbeat for a moment

"Because... the current situation is turbulent. If you don't have my protection, you'd better not run around."

"Didn't you send someone to protect me?"

“I can’t get there in one day.”

"That won't work. Hua Yu has many suitors in the academy. If I don't take this opportunity to take a step forward and overtake others, I'm afraid someone else will get there first."

Fu Ling's expression darkened.

The night was dark, and the moonlight cast shadows on his face, covering his eyes and making it impossible to see his emotions.

Wuqing didn't even report to him the important fact that she had someone she loved...

"you......"

After a long silence, Fu Ling spoke indifferently.

"Do you like him?"

There was a nervousness and caution in his tone that he himself was not aware of.

After he finished speaking, Fu Ling's face was still calm and composed, making people feel that he was unattainable and distant.

But he was already a little flustered inside, and his clenched fists under the stone table had already betrayed his nervousness as he waited for her answer.

At this time, Wuqing, who was sent out to collect information, had no idea that he was inexplicably carrying the blame.

Ruan Xihe propped up his chin and pretended to be puzzled: "There are many female cultivators who like him. Isn't it normal for me to like him?"

She said, trying not to laugh.

Huayu, I'm sorry to borrow your bad reputation.

"Besides, we are students from the same academy and the same branch. This is a great fate. Such tacit understanding is rare."

The more she spoke.

The air pressure around the people around you is lower.

Ruan Xihe glanced at Fu Ling inadvertently, taking in his entire expression. The corners of his mouth curved slightly for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

Fu Ling didn't say anything.

He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ruan Xihe stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him. "It's getting late. I need to get some beauty sleep. Otherwise, I won't be in good shape when I go out with Huayu tomorrow."

As he spoke, Ruan Xihe moved the sleeping animals into the space.

Then she told Fu Ling: "If you haven't eaten well, sit here and eat for a while."

"But when you leave, remember to help me clean up the table. Huayu doesn't like dirty and unsanitary environments."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Fu Ling to say anything, she put her hands behind her back and walked in humming a little tune.

"Bang——" sound.

The door was slammed shut.

The loud noise brought Fu Ling's thoughts back from their wandering state. He stared blankly at the empty seat beside him, feeling a desolate atmosphere around him.

But after Ruan Xihe entered the room, he did not go to sleep.

She sat on the bed, supporting her head, counting the time with her hands, waiting for something.

At this time, Wuqing, who was collecting information, came back.

He laid out all of Huayu's information on the table in front of Fu Ling.

However, when he saw that only Fu Ling was sitting at the stone table, but Ruan Xihe was nowhere to be seen, he felt a little confused.

He was originally still considering how to pass the collected information to the Emperor under Ruan Xihe's nose, but now he doesn't have to worry about it.

Wuqing was curious, so he asked, "Emperor, and..."

Fu Ling raised his eyes and glanced at Wuqing indifferently.

"Where's the lady..." The look was so cold that Wuqing's voice became as thin as a mosquito.

Wuqing felt a surge of fear in his heart and his body shuddered suddenly.

It’s over.

He made Emperor angry again.

Is it that he is too slow in collecting information?

It shouldn't be...

However, Wuqing obviously had experience in this kind of situation. No matter what happened, he would admit his mistake first.

He immediately knelt down and said, "I have made a mistake and am willing to be punished. Please let the emperor know clearly."

"roll."

"???"

Wuqing widened his eyes, somewhat confused. In the past, the Emperor would always tell him where he was wrong, or let him receive some kind of punishment.

Why don't you let him go today when nothing happened?

"I obey my orders!"

However, the order was more important, so Wuqing obeyed it and disappeared into the yard smoothly.

After Wuqing left, Fu Ling reached out to look at the information he had collected in front of him.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win.

He read through the entries one by one, and when he saw the line about Hua Yu, "He was a playboy by nature, and spent years in the red-light districts.", his eyebrows slightly frowned.

Fu Ling turned around and glanced at Ruan Xihe's closed door, feeling indescribable.

But he had a feeling that if he left like this tonight, he would definitely regret it later...

Fu Ling's eyes dimmed, as if he had made some kind of decision.

He put away the things Wuqing had found, stood up from the stone bench, walked towards the closed door, and knocked on it a few times.

"Boom boom boom——"

Inside the house, Ruan Xihe curled the corners of his lips slightly, stopped counting, but said nothing.

"You..." a voice came from outside the door, "Are you asleep?"

"Not yet." She said, "Lord Emperor, is there anything else? If you want to say goodbye to me before you leave, you don't have to."

When Fu Ling heard her addressing him in such an unfamiliar way, his heart ached slightly again, and it felt like a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Fu Ling took a few deep breaths before he managed to calm himself down.

He originally wanted to tell Ruan Xihe directly that Huayu was a playboy and was not worthy of her love, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he was afraid that saying so would hurt her feelings.

He changed the subject abruptly and asked indirectly, "What do you like about him?"

next moment.

The door was opened from the inside without any warning.

Ruan Xihe was standing just inside the door, only one step away from him.

Her eyebrows were slightly curved, and there was a light flashing in her eyes, like a dazzling star, which disturbed Fu Ling's mind and made him dare not look at her.

The sudden glance between them left a scar on his heart.

Ruan Xihe said word by word: "True love is just a moment of heartbeat, it comes suddenly and without reason."

"If you really want me to give a reason, then he's good-looking. How about that?"

"My appearance is not inferior to his. If you only look at his appearance, you shouldn't like him."

"Well, Lord Emperor is indeed good-looking, and confidence is a good thing." Ruan Xihe commented fairly, "But everyone has their own preferences. I like people who look like him."

Fu Ling looked visibly lost.

But he still did not give up and said: "My cultivation is far higher than his. He has poor talent and low cultivation. If you stay with him, he can't protect your safety, nor can he keep up with your pace."

"It doesn't matter. Who said he must protect me? I just need to practice hard. I have decent talent. When I reach a higher level, I can protect him."

"I have more money than him. You have more spirit beasts and need more places to use spirit stones. If you stay with him, you still need to consider the issue of making money."

"Although His Majesty the Emperor does have a lot of money, his money is not small either. Although it may not be as much as yours, it is enough for me to spend. At worst, I can make money by refining pills, refining equipment, and drawing talismans. I don't have to spend his money."

"He has a complicated family background, and he doesn't have a certain say. There are too many intrigues in the royal family. If you are with him, you will inevitably be disturbed by these troubles."

"That's okay. If they want to bother me, I'll beat them one at a time. If they come with two, I'll beat them both. I'll just treat it as practice."

"......" Fu Ling was speechless for a moment.

He looked at Ruan Xihe, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Why do you like him?"
