Chapter 11: Do You Hate Me?

  In the solemn and dignified Zen room, Hai sternly called out the drunken Benming's name.

  His face, which had been enthusiastically reporting the situation on Xiaojin Island to Yihai, suddenly stiffened, and he awkwardly turned his head towards Yihai, his voice completely gone.

  *sigh*...

  A monk looked at Yizui, whose expression suddenly changed, his eyes flashed, and he let out a long sigh, but did not meet Yizui's gaze, as if this call also awakened his memory.

  It's been a long time since I heard the name "Liang Xi". Even I felt like I had forgotten my own real name. I didn't expect to suddenly hear it again, and the impact still feels so strong.

  Her lips moved slightly, repeating her own name in a low voice, as if the two words contained some unknown power.

  Not equal to one drunk deep thought, a sea has already been immersed in the midst of melancholy, "Some things should also be told to you, your father king is not telling you his real name, but his real name is actually Liang Wang!"

  The Liang State is no longer the Liang State of old. Think back to when your grandfather was so spirited and heroic, that one sentence "My son will be born as the King of Liang!" was so domineering, looking around with no strong enemies in sight!

  It's a pity that the disaster originated from within. Twenty years ago, when Liang State and Hu State were at war, your father, the king's brother, Nan Lin Hou, colluded with Hu and Wei States. In that battle, Liang State lost all its elite troops. Taking advantage of the situation, Nan Lin Hou declared himself king and seized half of Liang State's territory.

  The Liang State and the Nanlin State have been at war for years, which is a great hatred. At that time, the Liang State was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the king of Liang entrusted you to take refuge in Huashan Mountain, also with his consideration.

  "Judging from the situation, Liang Guo will probably not be able to hold on for much longer under siege from all sides..."

  "I still remember King Liang holding my hand, enduring the pain in his heart to entrust you to me, and repeatedly muttering your name, Liang Xi, Liang Xi, do you know or not, you are the hope of the Liang Kingdom!"

  A lobster and a monk were emotionally excited for the first time, their sharp eyes staring at Yizui, as if this gaze wanted to penetrate Yizui's heart.

  "As a crown prince of a country, you are still lingering in this rural area, do you regret it or not?"

  "Rage!" A drunken gaze that didn't dodge or evade, extremely bright, instead stirred up a sea of eyes that felt somewhat sore, "Raged at being born with the body of a man and unable to shoulder the weight of a nation's sky!"

  A sea of thoughts in his heart, he completely closed his eyes, and the expression on his face was also a mixture of five flavors, seemingly bitter smile, seemingly joyful, twisted into a tangled mess.

  "Regret being born as a man's body, unable to hold up the sky for a country..."

  Suddenly, Hai felt as if his whole life had been lived in vain, with memories flooding back like a tidal wave, his eyes slightly moistening, and the expression on his face becoming increasingly tangled.

  Just as the old and young were speechless, the wooden door of the Zen room was suddenly opened. Hai's heart was startled, and his emotions were too excited to be on guard, only to realize that someone had approached him just now.

  The person who opened the door seemed to suddenly realize the rashness of their actions, and hastily apologized: "Master Yihai, this humble woman was anxious in her heart and acted rashly for a moment. Please don't take offense."

  A crisp sound echoed in this small Zen room, shattering the atmosphere that had just been built up. Hai and Zui both suddenly felt a sense of relief wash over them.

  As he lifted his head in a drunken haze and looked towards the approaching figure, Gu Mingyue also raised her head to gaze inside the house, and their eyes met instantly.

  Gu Mingyue's face suddenly turned black, it was this little monk who instigated the big-headed fish to capsize her brocade boat, making her extremely embarrassed.

  One of them secretly cursed, but calmly spoke up first: "I see that the donor's forehead is dark, and within three days there will be a disaster with bloodshed. It would be better to leave quickly, then you can avoid calamity."

  What he said was so sincere and heartfelt, it seemed as if such a thing had really happened.

  A certain monk Hai Lao was originally somewhat uneasy about Gu Ming Yue's sudden intrusion.

  This girl let him hint a hundred times that one drunkard's behavior is not good and his future is dark, but she insists on seeing the true character of one drunkard before leaving. However, when she heard one drunkard say a lot of nonsense about Jianghu Daoist deceiving people, Hai Lao Daoshi suddenly felt happy in her heart.

  Gu Ming's pale and delicate face turned even darker, if not for Hai still being there, he would have lost his temper on the spot and given that drunkard a good scare.

  How can this person be so shameless? He even dares to curse others openly at a time like this!

  And yet, in his intoxication, he was also thinking rapidly, how could he have run into this woman here?

  A beautiful woman is a calamity, one look at how good-looking she is and you'll know that nothing good will come of it, just wait for the disaster to strike.

  The best plan now is to get out of here quickly, and when the time comes, even if I dive into the Devil's Forest, it will be a vast ocean where fish can jump and birds can fly. She won't be able to stay in Huashan for another ten days or half a month, will she?

  Gu Mingyue's hand trembled slightly as she clenched her fists, glaring at Zuiyi before turning to face Yihai Lao and Shang, "Master Yihai, I wonder if the son of King Liang has returned from his outing?"

  He was slightly drunk and his mind was a bit muddled, but he dared to guarantee that he had absolutely never seen Gu Mingyue before.

  "This one drunk, this donor is actually with you engaged in marriage contract of Guo Guolong princess."

  A certain monk deliberately ignored Gu Mingyue's question and explained to Zui, but looking at his expression, why did Zui think he looked like a yellow mouse that had stolen a small chicken?

  But why did that promise of marriage make him feel like his whole body was covered in goosebumps? Where is the justice in this? He didn't know! He had no idea he still had a childhood engagement on him!

  One intoxication, yet unable to think of how to respond, his eyes gleamed brightly, and he clasped his hands together: "Excellent, excellent! The disciple suddenly remembered that there was still an urgent matter to attend to, please excuse me first."

  Not a single word was exchanged, but with a carefree and nonchalant air, they brushed past each other as if they were just passersby.

  Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, retreat is the best plan. It's better to slip away unnoticed after a drunken escapade, so let Hai Lao Da Shang handle it.

  As soon as he was drunk and disappeared in the blink of an eye, Gu Mingyue's eyes turned red instantly, her body trembling like a sieve. He, how could he be like this!

  One sea has already made it clear that the two of them have a marriage contract, even if there's no expression, they should at least greet each other, am I really that scary?

  "How could he be so rude?"

  Gu Mingyue asked angrily, and Yihai thought that if he had come back drunk now, Gu Mingyue would have beaten him up without hesitation.

  "I'm just being myself when I'm drunk, so please don't mind."

  A certain old monk is tirelessly smearing black paint on a drunkard, for Yao's happiness, Hai can even put his old face out.

  After all, Gu Mingyue's identity and temperament had given him a lot of pressure. In his shrewd eyes, Yao was no match for this woman at all.

  "Gazing north from the capital, the vast land of Qin River for eight hundred miles has not been peaceful in recent years. The Hualian Mountain is a rare haven, and there's nothing worthy to be presented as a gift. This Anrui array plate will serve as our heartfelt sentiment. Please, Princess Chang, convey my regards to King Gu on our behalf."

  This array plate is a rare auxiliary large-scale boundary that can play a very strong role in conjunction with the defensive boundary, while also taking care of spiritual power recovery and mental treatment.

  A lobster and a monk are both gone for good, he made it clear that the car and horse were sent to see off the guest, believing that Gu Mingyue had gotten this benefit and should also leave.

  Gu Mingyue didn't immediately take over this priceless chessboard, her intuition told her that there was something she still didn't know.

  She quickly flipped through her memories after entering the South China Sea, and a magnificent scene of a drunken two-fingered shattered Qinglong flashed before her eyes, startling her.

  He was blinded by his own anger and underestimated the person who could withstand Jin An's blow, he had been misled by this old monk!

  Why would a renowned master like him intentionally mislead her?

  For a moment, she couldn't figure out the subtlety of it all. Gu Mingyue smiled brightly as she took over the array disk, thanking him repeatedly, and then sincerely asked Yihai: "Mingyue was enchanted by the scenery and atmosphere of Hualei Mountain from the very beginning, and suddenly had an epiphany. I'd like to take out all my savings and stay in Hualei Mountain for ten days or half a month."

  As he spoke, a delicate silver ring was presented in front of Yi Hai.

  He casually picked up the storage ring, and his divine sense swept through it, only to see a mountain of crystal stones and a row of brocade boxes filled with heavenly treasures neatly stacked inside.

  One sea of heart head one draw, compared to Gu Wang's gift of Dengxian Dan, the things that Gu Mingyue took out were obviously more in line with his heart, how could he refuse?

  The Great Ming Empire has nine countries and eighteen states, Guo State occupies half of a state's territory, it is already so rich.

  "Alright, alright. There are many vacant Zen houses within Mount Hualei. Princess Chang can choose to live in any one she likes, and there will be disciples at the door to guide her."

  Live with it, live with it. For these things, as long as you don't tear down Mount Hua Lian, the old monk Hai Lao will agree to anything. Go ahead and cause trouble for Yi Zui, just don't confuse his good son-in-law, everything will be fine.

  No, no, I still have to let Yao know, it's best if we don't meet in person.

  The seemingly kind-hearted but actually sinister old monk had already made up his mind to take the money without doing anything.
