The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Xuzhi stared ahead, emitting a breath from his body. The breath shuttled back and forth in the city, exploring the traces left by the strange events.

Unfortunately, he gained nothing. He put his hands behind his back, and the breath returned to his body quietly and silently.

Hua Ye trotted over and stood beside Xu Zhi, tiptoed high and whispered in his ear.

"Is there a monster here? If they were water thieves, they would only steal a few buckets of water at most. They shouldn't have stolen all the water in the city, right?"

"You're right!"

Xuzhi suddenly turned his head towards her, and his cold lips slid across her cheek faintly.

"It must be a monster. The magic seems quite pure, without any traces at all!"

Xuzhi looked at her increasingly red cheeks, and couldn't help feeling happy, even speaking in a playful tone.

Hua Ye touched the place where his lips had brushed, and immediately lowered his head and put down his toes, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Zuo Nian, who was flying up to the city gate, happened to see this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: How can they be so affectionate in broad daylight?

As he thought about it, a different emotion suddenly appeared in his eagle-like eyes, a bit bitter and empty, as if he had lost something and felt empty inside.

Seeing that he was stunned, Zuo Nian called out to him, "Zuo Nian, come and guard the city gate. I need to negotiate with Miss Hua!"

As he spoke, Zuo Yun jumped down from the top of the city wall and walked quickly towards Hua Ye. He turned Zuo Nian around and let him face the people under the city gate.

The refugees, who were eager to make a move and full of momentum, seemed to be determined to go all the way to the end.

Some people in the crowd fanned the flames, instigating the elderly, weak, sick and disabled to lead the way.

The arrow was already on the string, ready to be released. Zuo Nian saw this scene, and felt a little troubled. His brows knitted together. He had never killed an old man or a child before, so this was really difficult for him...

Zuo Yunkai walked up to Hua Ye, bowed with both hands, bent his body to 90 degrees, raised his head respectfully and pleaded.

"Miss Hua, could you please ask your master to send down another rain? The people have been waiting for so long for the rain to disappear. It's really a blow they can't bear..."

She stared at Zuo Yun, who was so flexible and resilient, and couldn't help but respect him.

I used to know that he was a master at handling cases, good at unraveling the truth, and impartial, upright, and never partial or corrupt... It seems to be true!

"Zuo Shaoqing is indeed sharp-eyed. He knows that this rain is what my master wants. Then I will grant it to you!"

Hua Ye put on airs, then quickly lowered himself, leaning close to the expressionless Xu Zhi and giving him a few suggestive glances.

＜Master, let the little koi out and cry again……＞

Zuo Yun was slow to stand up, but just stayed there, with his neck stretched out as he secretly glanced at Xu Zhi, whose face showed no trace of emotion.

When Hua Ye approached, his bloodless and cold face seemed to soften a little.

They truly aren't just any master and disciple. It seems the Crown Prince is thoroughly cuckolded...

When Zuo Yun thought of this, he looked at them with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

"Zuo Shaoqing, what's with that look in your eyes?"

Hua Ye immediately caught his emotion as soon as he revealed it for a second.

"It's nothing, it's just that Miss Hua and Master have a very good relationship, and Zuo is a little envious..."

"envious?"

Hua Ye sneered at him, and Xu Zhi stared at him with a chilling look, causing his already sweaty body to sweat even more.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe away the sweat on his forehead that was about to flow into his eyes.

"Aren't you tired of standing like this all the time?"

Hua Ye's eyes would occasionally glance at Zuo Nian behind him.

He was dressed in all black riding clothes, and the black leather wrist guards and the unique black belt around his waist were particularly eye-catching.

It made his back look even more slender and taller, which made Hua Ye take a few more glances.

Zuo Yun then raised his body and put down his hands in a bow, but just as he adjusted his gaze, he met Xu Zhi's murderous almond-shaped eyes.

Following the two people's line of sight, he quickly blocked Zuo Nian's figure behind him so that Hua Ye wouldn't be able to take another look.

He was afraid that if she looked at his brother for a few more seconds, he might not survive the day.

He smiled widely and asked flatteringly, "Miss Hua, when are you going to pray for rain?"

Hua Ye withdrew her gaze unhappily. She had long noticed Xu Zhi's extremely cold eyes, but she still couldn't help but look at Zuo Nian a few more times.
