Mu Shuiqi looked at Qi Lie, then at A Dan. They were a perfect match, both handsome and beautiful, and had experienced battles and life-and-death trials together.

Mu Shuiqi smiled secretly, pinched A Dan's arm, and teased A Dan with a teasing look in her eyes.

A Dan's face was as red as an apple, and Mu Shuiqi felt that she should not object to this marriage.

But Qi Lie looked unhappy and uneasy.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your kind words. I, Qi Lie, am no match for Princess A Dan. Princess A Dan is so outstanding, she deserves to find a good match." Qi Lie said.

King Daxian had met all kinds of people and was good at observing people's words and expressions. Qi Lie's words certainly could not fool him.

"Is the Third Prince dissatisfied with Adam?"

Adam raised his head and looked at Qi Lie in surprise.

Mu Shuiqi was also surprised. Qi Lie didn't like A Dan?

"No!" Qi Lie bowed to the king again and said, "I am speaking the truth. Princess A Dan is beautiful and brave. She has done her best to honor her country and her people. She is also extremely filial to you, your Majesty. She is truly perfect and impeccable. It's just..."

"Just what?" Adam asked anxiously.

Having swept away the shy attitude of a little girl just now, Adam's momentum was the same as when he was killing enemies on the battlefield.

This matter has nothing to do with Mu Shuiqi. It is a big deal for the two countries to form an alliance through marriage, and their monarchs should discuss it.

Mu Shuiqi stood there, not knowing whether to leave or stay, feeling quite awkward.

Qi Lie was not one to be coy, and answered frankly, "I already have someone I like. My heart is too small to accommodate Princess Adan. Sorry!"

All three of them were stunned.

Mu Shuiqi was not particularly familiar with Qi Lie. She had only known him for a short time and had never known that he had anyone he liked.

What a pity, I was just about to lock him and A Dan as the prince and princess couple.

The King of Daxian felt it was a pity and showed regret on his face. However, Buyuan Kingdom was indebted to Xiwa Kingdom. If Qi Lie did not agree to the marriage, he could not be so shameless as to ask the King of Xiwa for help.

The blush on Adan's face faded immediately. Although she was a little unhappy, she remained calm.

Adan said, "You don't have to apologize to me. You didn't do anything wrong. We were the ones who were abrupt."

"Oh, grandpa was rude. A'dan, don't be sad..." King Daxian looked at his granddaughter with heartache. He knew that his granddaughter had always been strong-willed.

"It's not your fault, Grandpa. You guys can chat while I go on patrol."

After Adam finished speaking, he ran out as fast as an arrow.

There was no need to discuss the matter further. Qi Lie asked the king of Daxian to resign, and the king agreed.

Mu Shuiqi followed Qi Lie out of the palace gate and asked Qi Lie to go to the street to find A Dan to explain.

"Adan should like you. You should go and comfort her." She was afraid that Adan would be sad.

"She has official business to attend to, so I won't bother her." The person Qi Lie least wanted to see at the moment was A Dan.

It wouldn't be awkward to meet her, since he just rejected her. Besides, his heart wasn't with A Dan, so he didn't want to see her.

There were more soldiers patrolling outside the palace gate than the last time she came.

Adam said he was going to patrol the streets, probably taking soldiers to restore order on the streets.

Without war, people can reopen their shops and resume their normal lives.

She didn't force him to go, but she always found a way to lead him there.

"I haven't walked around Tiangong City yet. Would you like to accompany me?"

In this case, Qi Lie had no reason to refuse.

He had been in Tiangong City for many days and was familiar with the layout and eating habits of the people. He was naturally happy to be her guide.

The streets are busier than I imagined.

Mu Shuiqi thought that the people would still be frightened after the war and would not dare to go out.

Unexpectedly, most of the shops on the street were open. People were coming and going, and although there was no hawking, it seemed to have regained some of its popularity.

Patrolling soldiers passed by the street from time to time, and when they saw Qi Lie and Mu Shuiqi, they would bow respectfully and greet them.

I haven't seen Adan yet. Didn't she say she was out on patrol? Why isn't she even on the patrol?

I'm afraid she is making up an excuse to avoid Qi Lie. Where is she crying?

Qi Lie introduced her to the customs and culture of Buyuan Country and talked a lot along the way, but she was absent-minded and responded indifferently.

Qi Lie stopped and asked her, "You want to take me out to find A Dan, right?"

She didn't want to lie, "Yeah."

"Why are you doing this?" Qi Lie frowned.

"Adan is a very good girl. I'm afraid she'll be upset and hide away crying."

"She won't cry." Qi Lie thought he knew A Dan quite well.

After fighting together on the front line for more than ten days, Adam became as strong as any man. How could he cry over a little love?

"Oh, you know her well?"

"A little bit. Anyway, she doesn't like me that much, so there's no need for her to cry for me."

"I think she likes you very much." Mu Shuiqi didn't think so.

Qi Lie felt depressed. She had only met Adam a few times. How could she tell that Adam liked him?

"Then can't you see that I like you?" Qi Lie blurted out anxiously.

Mu Shuiqi thought she had heard wrongly.

Someone nearby lit firecrackers, and the crackling sound echoed throughout the street.

The sound of firecrackers celebrates the victory.

This firecracker was too long and it kept ringing for a long time.

Mu Shuiqi wanted to ask Qi Lie something, but she couldn't say it.

He pulled her into a relatively secluded alley. Now that he had spoken out his heart, he had to express it all.

"Qi Lie, was what you just said true or a joke?" Mu Shuiqi asked seriously.

"I like you, can't you see it?" Qi Lie approached her step by step.

The sudden confession left her bewildered. The closer he got to her, the more she retreated, until her back was against the wall, with nowhere to retreat.

She said, "Qi Lie, I only treat you as a friend. I don't have any improper thoughts about you!"

Qi Lie looked into her eyes with a burning gaze and spoke softly, "I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. I've never met a woman as formidable as you, brave and skilled in battle, courageous and resourceful, and not at all spoiled."

Uh, why does it sound like he's praising her for being capable and easy to support?

She smiled helplessly: "Isn't it the same with Adam? This shows that I am not the only woman this special. In fact, there are many women like me in the world."

"No, in my heart, you are a unique woman." Qi Lie said frankly.

She regretted bringing him to the street.

She originally wanted to come out to find Adam, so how did it lead to him confessing his feelings to her?

Although she had no experience in love and was rather slow, she had vaguely sensed from spending the past two days with Qi Lie that his feelings for her were different from his feelings for A Dan.

She didn't dare to jump to conclusions or be self-righteous.

It was not until he confessed his feelings at this moment that she thought about his previous behavior, which really confirmed his feelings for her.

"Oh, what a coincidence! I caught you having a tryst with a man here."

Mu Shuiqi was just about to say something to reject Qi Lie's feelings when a teasing voice came from the roof of the opposite wall.

It’s a bit bad, Liu Huo is coming.

Mu Shuiqi looked up and saw the guy half lying on the roof with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.

The sexy lips moved slightly, and the dogtail grass swayed along with it, just like a puppy wagging its tail.

He seemed to be bored and ran here to laugh at her, glancing at her with a half-smile.

Her face turned cold as she saw him.

"What are you here for?"
