2500 Side Story 4: A Small Favor

Fantasy Divine Palace.

As the Fantasy Divine Hall hadn’t been tidied up, Yan Qing still brought Xiao Ba back to the previous courtyard.

“Lord Left Divine General, I’m really fine. There’s really no need to do this…” As Xiao Ba walked, she tried to pull her hand out of Yan Qing’s.

However, she was no match for the other party and was really useless against him.

Yan Qing pursed his lips along the way and didn’t speak.

When they returned to the courtyard, Yan Qing sent her back to her room without hesitation. He only let go when Xiao Ba sat on the chair.

She held her waist and waved at Yan Qing. “Alright, alright. I’m already back. You can rest assured now, right?”

Yan Qing stood in front of her. When he heard her words, his glabella furrowed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. “…Miss Xiao Ba, you don’t have to be so polite.”

This tone was really unfamiliar to him.

When Xiao Ba heard this, she raised her eyebrows and her beautiful eyes. She glanced at him and said with a faint smile, “Lord Left Divine General, what did you call me?”

Yan Qing paused. After a moment, he said, “Eighth Deity.”

Only then did Xiao Ba feel better. She leaned back lazily and kicked her shoes gently. “Speaking of which, although we knew each other in the past, we’re not close. I’ll address you however I addressed you in the past.”

The 13 deities were Goddess Yue’s people, but the two divine generals were subordinates to the Emperor.

In the past, the Emperor rarely interfered in the matters of the Fantasy Divine Hall, and the two sides didn’t interact much—especially Xiao Ba, who had only seen the Left Divine General a few times.

She felt that this person was really old-fashioned and boring, and she had never thought that she would have anything to do with him. She would probably suffocate to death if she stayed with such a person for more than 15 minutes.

Now… She didn’t even want to think about it.

When she thought about how she had been deceived from beginning to end and how she had even dragged someone along to ask the Left Divine General about his name, Xiao Ba wished she could bang her head against a wall and kill herself.

Regret! Regret! My reputation is ruined!

Now, as long as she saw that ice-cold face, she would automatically remember all the stupid things she had done in the past. Therefore, she sincerely hoped that the honorable Left Divine General could disappear from her sight as soon as possible.

Yan Qing felt a little uncomfortable.

He was silent for a moment before asking, “Are you angry?”

Xiao Ba immediately laughed. “Why am I angry?”

Hearing this laugh, Yan Qing confirmed his guess. She is indeed angry, but this is actually very normal. After all… what happened before is indeed my fault.

“Previously, I didn’t mean to hide it, but—”

“You were just forced by the situation! I know!” Xiao Ba interrupted him. “Even the Emperor has lied to Master for so long. As the Emperor’s most valued confidant, the Left Divine General naturally has to obey.”

Xiao Ba shrugged her shoulders.

These weren’t pleasantries. After experiencing many things in the past, she also knew that the Emperor had his own difficulties. Everything he had done in the past 10,000 years was actually for her master—she was actually quite grateful and touched by this. However, Yan Qing… had gone too far.

“Lord Left Divine General, you have a heavy responsibility and can’t expose your identity. It’s not that I can’t understand, but in that case, you shouldn’t have agreed when I asked you to help put on a show!”

At that time, she was really frustrated by Liang He and all kinds of messy suitors, so she pulled Yan Qing over as a shield. At that time, she didn’t have any memories, but Yan Qing did, right?!

“Shouldn’t you know that once the truth came out and we each recovered our identities, these things… would be discussed by many people? Huh?” Xiao Ba’s red lips curled up slightly as she asked word by word.

Yan Qing paused. After a moment, he reminded, “At that time, I rejected it…”

She had walked over and leaned against him, wanting to hug his arm, but he didn’t give his arm to her. It was only after Xiao Ba pinched his waist that he finally let go.

Xiao Ba’s expression froze.

Those things had happened not long ago. Of course, she hadn’t forgotten.

Recalling the situation at that time, she immediately felt a little embarrassed. “Then, then… You went to the medicinal mountain with me later—”

She shut up. Yes, if I remember correctly, I was the one who took the initiative to pull him there.

In the beginning, the Left Divine General had also rejected her explicitly, but at that time, she had only cared about herself. How could she have thought so much? She thought that he simply didn’t want to go out, but in the end, she still brought him along.

Now that she thought about it… At this point, the culprit was still her!

Xiao Ba’s eyelids twitched violently.

Apart from Master, the most beautiful and peerless Eighth Deity in the Fantasy Divine Hall had always been approached by other men. When had she ever been despised like this?!

Xiao Ba took a deep breath in.

Yan Qing looked at her and wanted to explain, but he suddenly felt that she seemed to be even angrier than before?

Yan Qing was a little confused. Although I had refused at the beginning, I always agreed in the end. Even I don’t know when I became so easy to talk to. What… is she angry about?

The temperature in the room gradually turned cold, and there was still a stalemate.

Yan Qing thought for a moment before saying seriously, “In short, I didn’t do anything on purpose. Miss Xiao Ba, please understand. As for the rumors outside…”

He paused for a moment and finally continued, “I’ll find time to clarify it. It won’t affect Miss Xiao Ba’s reputation.”

Xiao Ba laughed in anger. How much does he despise me that he can’t wait to cut ties with me? Is he doing this for my reputation or for himself?

Shi Fang’s words echoed in her ears: “The Left Divine General has always been a righteous person who follows the rules. He probably values his reputation more than anything else.”

Originally, Xiao Ba had planned to find an opportunity to explain this misunderstanding to everyone. After all, hearing them call him ‘Eighth Brother-in-Law’ all day, her poor little heart couldn’t stand it.

But after hearing Yan Qing’s words, she was very unhappy—no, she was more than unhappy!

She narrowed her eyes slightly and sized him up carefully. Her red lips curled up slightly as she slowly asked, “In that case, is the Left Divine General apologizing to me today?”

Yan Qing nodded. “Yes.”

“Alright! I’m not a petty person. Since you’re sincerely apologizing, I’ll give you a chance to make up for it. How about that?”

Yan Qing looked at her and felt that something was wrong, but he also felt that her smile was vivid, so he nodded. “Alright. As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll definitely do my best.”

“It’s not a big deal.” Xiao Ba suddenly stood up and took a step forward.

The distance between the two of them suddenly narrowed.

Xiao Ba looked up slightly and smiled. “I’m injured, but there’s still a small area on my lower back that I can’t reach. Please help me apply the medicine, Lord Left Divine General, okay?”
