Chapter 817: Chapter 817: Genius Young Lady vs. Reborn Concubine-born Daughter (Part 28)
Seeing the young girl in front of him looking somewhat dazed at him, the Great High Priest felt incredibly pleased.
Everyone else could only see her bold and spirited side, but only he, only he could see her behaving like a playful, confused young girl.
This was something exclusively his, his Linyin.
âDo you remember what you said that night?â the Great High Priest asked.
Gu Shengyin was a bit slow to react, and nodded dumbly.
What was going on? Had the teacher suddenly figured it out?
âThen I shall respond to you. I also have feelings for you.â Using that same calm tone, the Great High Priest said something that was not at all mundane.
Gu Shengyin blinked her eyes, then blinked them hard again.
It wasnât a hallucination.
Her own teacher had really figured it out like this.
What should one do when the person they like accepts their confession?
Gu Shengyin indicated that she should move quickly!
A brilliant smile suddenly blossomed on her previously dazed face.
Immediately after, she lunged forward, falling entirely into the Great High Priestâs embrace.
The Great High Priest instinctively reached out to catch her and then felt something warm and moist against his cheek.
It was a kiss.
This passionate and open little apprentice actually kissed him without reservation.
He was somewhat surprised, but didnât find it hard to accept.
However, some things still needed to be clarified first.
âThat Prince of the Vermilion Bird Empire, what is your relationship with him?â He was somewhat displeased when bringing this up, though it was well hidden.
âLie Xiao?â Gu Shengyin looked puzzled. What did Lie Xiao have to do with her?
Her mind turned, and she finally understood what the teacher meant.
The teacher was⊠jealous?
She was secretly delighted, but outwardly she looked righteous: âThere is absolutely nothing between him and me.â
âMm, I believe you.â The Great High Priest actually already knew in his heart that Linyin had no feelings for that man.
After all, his status wasnât as high as his, he wasnât as handsome, and his power wasnât as strong. In terms of feelings, he couldnât even compare to his and Linyinâs intimacy of over ten years.
From every angle, Linyin wouldnât fall for someone other than him. Thus thought the confidently self-assured Great High Priest.
However, he still wanted to hear some words directly from his belovedâs mouth.
After being affectionate for a while, the Great High Priest finally spoke about the matter at hand.
âIâve seen you turning that small bottle around for a long time now, do you have something on your mind?â he asked.
Gu Shengyin nodded and explained Cheng Lingyuâs scheme and her own plan to him honestly.
She didnât want to hide her true nature in front of the Great High Priest. They were going to spend a lifetime together; even if she were to feign innocence now, it would be impossible to keep it up for a lifetime.
If she did that, not only would it be too exhausting for her, but it would also be a sign of distrust towards him.
Besides, she was confident enough that this man wouldnât mind.
Sure enough, the Great High Priest found nothing wrong with her actions.
He simply asked, âSo what youâre troubled about now is how to smoothly have Cheng Lingyu obtain this thing?â
Gu Shengyin nodded.
The Great High Priest remained calm: âThatâs simple.â
He said a few words to Gu Shengyin, and her eyes lit up as she nodded.
The convoy was moving slowly, and suddenly a masked figure charged out of the forest beside them, heading straight for Cheng Linyinâs carriage.
