Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 334 If I could, I would hold you as you fall asleep every night.

In fact, Chu Yueli did not require Lu Beimo to tell her. If he did not want to tell her, then she would say that she did not know anything.

He just wanted to reconcile his statements with Lu Beimo's to prevent any contradictions.

But Lu Beimo still said, "He is indeed my third uncle."

Chu Yueli remained silent.

Lu Beimo continued, "But I didn't meet my third uncle. When I chased after him, neither my third uncle nor the sect leader were there. There was a secret passage inside the cave. I found the exit of the secret passage, but I saw that my third uncle had been injured by the sect leader. I was hit by a poisoned dart while trying to save him."

"Then where did Marquis Jian'an go?" Chu Yueli asked.

"They've gone after the sect leader." But he knew they would eventually return to the cave, where there were still so many thunderbolt bombs. He couldn't rest easy unless he went back himself.

He had no choice but to put aside his third uncle's matter and go back to meet up with Chu Yueli and the others.

"So, you don't know where Marquis Jian'an went afterward, who he met, or what he was involved in, is that right?"

Chu Yueli's delicate brows furrowed as she pondered.

Lu Beimo loved seeing her so focused on a problem; the sight was like a gentle breeze, pleasing to the eye.

"Yes." He nodded.

"May I offer some advice to Your Highness?" She addressed him as "Your Highness," implying that what she wanted to discuss was official business.

Although Lu Beimo was somewhat dissatisfied, this was just how his Ali did things.

If he doesn't listen, Ali will no longer stand up for him.

The Great Demon King has lived for over twenty years, and only today did he realize that hiding behind Ali and being the man behind Ali was such a blissful thing.

As long as Ali is here, the whole world exists.

"Go ahead and say it, I'm listening." He not only listened, but also took the opportunity to hold her hand.

Chu Yueli tried to break free, but he held on too tightly. Time was of the essence, so she didn't waste time on pointless struggles.

No matter what, there's no way to break free.

"Your Highness, I suggest you tell the truth."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." He couldn't make up his mind last night. After all, those were his mother's family members, which had far-reaching implications. It was possible that someone with ulterior motives might use them against his mother's entire family.

However, some lies, once told, will lead to more. Since he himself doesn't know whether the matter is related to his third uncle, it's better to hand it over to the Dali Temple for investigation.

"Do you think Ye Huai'an has the ability?" He looked at Chu Yueli. It was indeed good to have someone to discuss things with when things happened.

In fact, I've never tried it all these years.

People around him can only report things to him and then follow his orders, but no one dares to discuss things with him.

Only Ali.

Lu Beimo suddenly felt extremely envious of Lu Fengjin. In the past few years, Ali had always been by his side, and he could consult Ali about anything he encountered.

Lu Fengjin was so happy during those years.

Fortunately, that bastard made a mistake, and Ali didn't want him anymore.

Lu Beimo felt incredibly fortunate.

"Whether he has the ability or not is unknown, after all, there are likely several forces behind him, but we can at least be sure that he is the emperor's man."

It's easy if you're one of the emperor's people; all your abilities come from the emperor.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Come back early. I can't sleep without looking at you."

Chu Yueli quickly withdrew her hand, almost rolling her eyes at him.

Lu Beimo looked at her with extremely serious eyes, his dark, starry gaze fixed on her: "I slept very well today. I have never slept so peacefully before. If I can hold you in my arms every night in the future, I will definitely live a long life."
