Chapter 666 - 666: If You Guys Are So Impressive, Help Me Scoop Out the Moon
The people who were ranked behind Ye Siming and the others also obtained Gu Yihan’s rewards.
However, everyone had also heard about it.
His Majesty had actually given Marquis Yongye a manor.
It was said that in the beginning, the emperor wanted to give the marquis a small one-tiered manor.
However, the princess said that she wanted to give her share of the reward to Marquis Yongye.
Therefore, His Majesty simply generously gave a two-tiered manor!
This made the other officials extremely envious.
At night, Ye Siming sat on the roof. It was quiet and no one was around.
He gently raised his cup and drank alone with the moon.
The cold autumn wind blew past the hair on his forehead.
It made the youth’s eyes look like two cold stars.
Ye Siming clearly had something on his mind.
His expression was dark and it was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.
Xiangliu had hurt Gu Nuo’er. With Ye Siming’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t let the other party off.
However, if he wanted to beat up Xiangliu, he would have to return to the Asura Realm.
However, he couldn’t leave yet. Gu Nuo’er still needed him.
However, if he didn’t look for Xiangliu, Ye Siming wouldn’t be able to take this lying down.
How dare it touch his people? It was really rebellious.
If he had known earlier, he would have skinned Xiangliu before coming out.
Just as he was drinking with a deep gaze, two officials walked over from the corridor in the courtyard below.
From the looks of it, they were two teachers with higher authority in the state school.
They had even taught Gu Nuo’er and Ye Siming a class before.
They didn’t look up, so they naturally didn’t see Ye Siming sitting on the roof.
“Sigh, Marquis Yongye is really lucky. I can’t be envious of him. Ever since he came to Great Qi, in just a few years, he has already become a popular person in front of His Majesty.”
“What’s there to be envious of? We all rely on our true abilities. He is the only one who relies on a good appearance and knows how to please the princess!”
“What you say makes sense. The princess is still young and easy to coax. His Majesty loves his daughter excessively, so Marquis Yongye naturally gets whatever he wants.”
“Everyone says that Marquis Yongye is skilled. I don’t think he did anything for Great Qi. Isn’t he just protecting the little princess? If it were anyone else, they would definitely do better than him!”
Ye Siming frowned coldly and watched as they badmouthed him as if no one was around.
If it was in the past, the youth would definitely go down and teach the two of them a lesson.
However, now, he inexplicably thought of Bai Yi’s words.
“The princess will grow up sooner or later. At that time, His Majesty will think that she doesn’t need guards anymore.”
Ye Siming’s eyes gradually darkened.
They were like two black lamps in the dark night, emitting a coldness that made one shiver.
It seemed that he had to do something.
Mortals valued power, so he had to have it first.
Otherwise, others would always think that he was hiding behind Gu Nuo’er and enjoying her kindness.
After the youth figured it out, he raised his head and finished the wine in his cup, wanting to go down and teach the two men a lesson.
Unexpectedly, a small figure that was like a ball ran out from the darkness at the side.
Ye Siming’s expression paused and the coldness that had surged out of his eyes completely disappeared.
He kept his eyes on Gu Nuo’er.
Where was she standing just now?
Why didn’t he notice her?
“Teachers, please help me. I’ve encountered a problem!” The child blinked her watery eyes and tugged at one of the teachers’ robes pitifully.
The two teachers were originally gossiping in the courtyard, but they didn’t expect a child to suddenly appear from the dark!
That person turned out to be the little princess too! They were still talking about the princess just now!
This time, the two teachers felt a little guilty.
They smiled awkwardly and asked, “Your Highness, what do you need this subject to do?”
Gu Nuo’er’s black eyes were watery on her soft and fair face. “Teachers, I want the moon in the water.. Since you’re so amazing, help me scoop it up!”
