Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang rolled her eyes at him, "Hey! Can you stop looking so old-fashioned?"

"I don't want to either," Su Linjin leaned over to her and whispered, "Look at these two people, each one is more arrogant than the other. I really can't laugh."

Xue Huang looked at him curiously, "You three have been out for so long, and you got into a fight?"

"That's not the case," Su Linjin said with a smile, "We also found a place to be frank with each other."

Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "So you both already know each other's identities?"

Su Linjin nodded.

"In other words, you also know that they are uncle and nephew?"

“It was a little unexpected.”

Xue Huang raised her eyebrows. Su Linjin knew Xu Yao's identity and that they were uncle and nephew, so he must know that Wei Yunzhou was the King Chen'an of Beiyuan.

"You should have said it earlier!" Xue Huang was somewhat speechless, "Then why did you avoid it at that time?"

"It was Second Brother who took the initiative to tell me."

Wei Yunzhou said, "There are some things he should know."

"So you guys are so frank, what kind of cooperation have you reached?"

"Alliance." Wei Yunzhou said.

Xue Huang glanced between the three of them and asked, "Does Fifth Brother know about this?"

Wei Yunzhou nodded, "If he wants to win, he also needs more support."

Su Linjin became more serious, "He is indeed a suitable candidate. After all, he must be extraordinary to be in Second Senior Brother's eyes."

With Wei Yunzhou around, Xue Huang was not surprised that Su Linjin and Mo Ruilin reached a cooperation.

But Xu Yao's goal has always been revenge. Xue Huang was a little confused as to why he agreed to cooperate.

"Are you willing to help them too?"

Xu Yao said coldly, "My purpose has never changed."

Xue Huang pinched her brows and said, "My mind is a little confused. Forget it, you can do whatever you want, I don't care. If there is anyone you can't beat, just call me."

Su Linjin gave her a look of disdain, "It's been so long, why is fighting still the only thing on your mind?"

"I can't help it," Xue Huang said sincerely, "Things that require thinking are not suitable for me."

Wei Yunzhou glanced at her indifferently, "Not bad, you are very self-aware."

Xu Yao didn't say anything, but he looked at her with some disgust, then he got up and left.

Xue Huang did not argue, but just smiled and said: "Every profession has its own specialties. For me, I just need to play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses."

Wei Yunzhou rolled his eyes and left with his sword in hand.

Xue Huang and Su Linjin were the only ones left in the pavilion. Mo Xingyue was still practicing martial arts. He was already sweating profusely, but he still refused to rest.

Xue Huang took a sip of tea and looked a little serious, "Seriously, why didn't you come with the delegation this time?"

"Isn't this anxious to see you?"

"Just do it." Xue Huang said unhappily. "Not only did you make a big fuss about it, but you also went deep into another country alone. If someone discovered your identity, do you really think you can get away with it?"

"If I go with the delegation, I will be the regent sitting upright. If I go alone, I will be a chivalrous knight."

Xue Huang smiled helplessly, "After all, you still want to go to the martial arts world, not stay in the court."

"What's so good about the court?" Su Linjin smiled faintly, "There are endless political affairs to deal with, big and small, and it's full of intrigues and schemes. Sometimes I really want to use our Guigu sect rules to solve problems, but unfortunately the affairs of the court are complicated and often go against one's wishes."

Xue Huang looked at his face. He was actually only one year older than her. He was only sixteen years old when he became the regent. Three years had already buried that high-spirited young man under this cold, steady, prudent and mature body.

"Your nephew is extremely talented. He has the qualities of an emperor at such a young age. If you just hold on for a few more years, he should be able to do it."

Su Linjin sighed, "Oh, at least five years, how can I endure it!"

"You have so many loyal ministers and generals in Dongchu, and you are not the only one supporting the court. I think you are just too playful."

"After all, I'm not interested in this." Su Linjin said with a smile. "I still envy my senior brother. When he was in Dongchu, the Grand Master visited him every day, hoping that he would become the Imperial Master of Dongchu. Unfortunately, he was not interested in this either."

"We can't learn the uncle's character."

"Don't blame me, you are the same."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Although you can't leave now, you clearly had other choices from the beginning. Why did you have to come to Shangyang City?"

“This is also my choice.”

"Don't give me that," Su Linjin rolled her eyes at her, "You are doing this for your sweetheart, right?"

"It's for him, but not just for him." Xue Huang smiled. "There are other people in this city that I care about, and I also have my own persistence and stance."

"Now that you have made your choice, move forward boldly."

"of course."

Su Linjin's expression was serious. "Remember, no matter who you are, no matter what happens in the future, Dongchu will always be behind you. The title of Princess Changle is not just an empty title. Anyone who hurts you is an enemy of Dongchu."

Xue Huang was stunned for a moment. She rarely saw him so serious. "What's wrong with you? Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"I am making this promise to you solemnly on behalf of Dong Chu. It is not just because you are now responsible for promoting the alliance between the two countries. Guigu is my master, and my master has taught me. You and my brothers are all my fellow disciples, so no matter when you are in trouble, I will do my best to help you."

What he said today was serious and sincere, and the affection in it was even more moving.

Su Linjin seems a little out of touch, but this generation of Guiguzi disciples all have the same problem, which is protecting their own people, so he is naturally no exception.

He is a man who values friendship and loyalty, otherwise he would not have resolutely given up the underworld and returned to the court.

Xuehuang picked up the teacup. She understood how deep this friendship was.

The friendship among Guiguzi’s fellow disciples is always worth trusting.

"Uncle Junior Master," Xue Huang said with a smile, "I'm really not used to you being so serious. But I understand what you mean."

Su Linjin also picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Everything was said without words.

Mo Xingyue came over and said, "I'm so tired. I want some tea too."

Xue Huang poured her a cup and said, "Take a break."

"What are you two talking about?"

"Let's reminisce about the past." Xue Huang said with a smile.

Su Linjin said, "I didn't realize you can endure hardship."

Mo Xingyue glanced at him and said, "From what you said, it seems like you are laughing at me."

"That's not my intention," Su Linjin said in a lazy tone again, "I'm just a little curious, why do you, the most beloved princess of Beiling, practice so hard?"

Mo Xingyue asked back, "Princess, can't you practice hard?"

"That's not the case," Su Linjin choked, "It seems that you, the princess, are not so carefree after all."

"How can one be carefree when born in a royal family?" Mo Xingyue's tone was very indifferent. She had long since let it go.

"That's right," Su Linjin agreed, "People in the royal family are indeed helpless in many things."

"You speak as if you understand everything."

"Of course I do."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "You two seem to share the same suffering."

Su Linjin smiled and said, "I am still not as lucky as Princess Xingyue. At least you have someone around you who can protect you from the wind and rain."

Mo Xingyue looked somewhat happy, "I can indeed relax for a while."

"What do you mean?" Xue Huang asked.

"Thanks to you." Mo Xingyue said with a smile. "Now that we are going to form an alliance with Dongchu, my father will no longer grant me and Brother Lan a marriage."

Xue Huang didn't feel happy, "It's just that it was replaced by someone else."

"It depends on you now," Mo Xingyue patted her hands, "Your current status is different from before, and your father will consider what you say."

Xue Huang thought of what Emperor Ling had said to her in the Imperial Study Room that day. If she didn't have the status she had, she wouldn't be qualified to influence his decision. Now it seemed that what he said was right.

"Okay." Xue Huang said seriously. "If your father wants you to marry someone you don't want to marry, then I will use Dong Chu's identity to dissuade him."

Mo Xingyue glanced to the east. "It's strange. Doesn't Dongchu value you very much? Why haven't they come to see you since you were rescued?"

Hearing this, Xue Huang and Su Linjin looked at each other with strange expressions.

"You don't know my identity?" Su Linjin asked with a smile.

Mo Xingyue looked at him, "Aren't you Xue Huang's junior uncle?"

"That's right," Su Linjin said with a smile, "I am her uncle, but her uncle is also the regent of Dongchu."

Mo Xingyue was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes were full of disbelief, "What?!"

Xue Huang was also a little surprised, but to Mo Xingyue's words, "Didn't Fifth Brother tell you? I thought you knew it a long time ago."

"He didn't say that." Mo Xingyue said.

Su Linjin sat up straight, "Then let me formally introduce myself. I am Su Linjin, the fourth disciple of Guigu, and the regent of Dongchu."

Mo Xingyue looked him up and down with a strange look on her face. "You are actually the regent of Dong Chu?!"

Su Linjin raised his eyebrows, "What's that look in your eyes?"

"The young regent king who is said to be noble, aloof, decisive, and a master of strategy?!"

"I'm glad you can praise me." Su Linjin said with a smile.

Mo Xingyue rolled her eyes and said depressedly: "I must be dreaming!"

Su Linjin: "..."

Mo Xingyue looked at Xue Huang, "Is he really the regent of Dong Chu?"

Xue Huang nodded, "It's absolutely genuine."

"He doesn't look like him at all!"

Xue Huang couldn't help but laugh, "Sometimes rumors and facts don't really match up."

Su Linjin twitched his lips, "How can it be as exaggerated as you say?"

Mo Xingyue thought of what Mo Ruilin had told her before, that Xue Huang was rescued thanks to the cooperation of the Regent of Dongchu, and Mo Ruilin also said that although the Regent was young, he was very courageous and intelligent, and he had nothing in common with the young man in front of him. It really is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance.

"Do you really mean it?"

Su Linjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why would I lie to you?"

"With your outfit, it's normal for you not to believe it."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "This is his hobby, although I don't understand it either."

Su Linjin sighed: "You girls really have no aesthetic sense. Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. Anyway, today is my last day to wear this. I'm going back first." After saying that, he stood up and walked away slowly.

Xue Huang pulled Mo Xingyue up and said, "Let's go. You must be tired after practicing for so long. Go and rest early."

"I want to sleep with you."

"to make!"
