Resisting the Wind and Splendor

A long, long time ago?

"But I really have no impression of him. He had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and I later followed my elder brother to the battlefield, so I hardly had any chance to meet him."

So, you've liked it for a long time? Where did this liking come from?

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Liuli also found it very strange.

But she absolutely trusted her intuition; Mo-gege's affection for Ali must have been going on for quite some time.

"Ali, have you forgotten what happened before? Think about it again. Brother Mo must have liked you for many years! He never lets women get close to him, but he is willing to sit with you."

In truth, Tuoba Liuli was very sad, as she had fallen in love with Lu Beimo at first sight.

When she and her third brother were in danger, they were rescued by Lu Beimo. The image of that young hero was deeply imprinted in her heart from the first time she saw him.

She had liked the man for so many years, but she couldn't even touch his finger.

Today, I see him getting along well with another girl. How can I not be sad?

Chu Yueli lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.

Did she and Lu Beimo really know each other before?

When exactly did this happen?

She gently tapped her head, but still couldn't remember. Looking at Tuoba Liuli, her small face was terribly droopy.

Chu Yueli suddenly laughed and said, "You like him a lot, don't you? Then why are you telling me all this?"

"I really like Brother Mo, I really, really like him, but I want to see Brother Mo happy and content."

Therefore, Tuoba Liuli was very conflicted. On the one hand, she was very sad, but on the other hand, she hoped that Chu Yueli could give Brother Mo some response so that Brother Mo could be happy.

“Brother Mo has not had a good time these years. You see him returning in such a glorious manner, but you don’t know how many difficulties and injuries he has encountered in the northern frontier.”

"Several times, I escaped death by a hair's breadth. The longest time was when I was bedridden for several months."

Tuoba Liuli sighed and lowered her eyes, saying, "My third brother and Brother Mo are the same age, and my third brother also led troops into battle at a young age. They seem to have a very bad relationship now..."

"Isn't this a very close friendship, a bond that transcends life and death?" Such a friendship doesn't even exist between princes and dukes.

"You... think they have a good relationship? But they fight all the time..." Tuoba Liuli was somewhat surprised.

"Of course, it's because they have a good relationship. If they didn't, why would the Great Demon King bother fighting the Third Prince? He would have dealt with him long ago." Chu Yueli smiled.

"You know Brother Mo very well!" Tuoba Liuli looked surprised, thinking that she didn't care about Brother Mo at all.

It seems that Ali isn't completely indifferent to Brother Mo after all.

Chu Yueli was slightly taken aback, wanting to explain, but couldn't find the words to do so.

Does she really understand the Demon King? She has never taken the initiative to try to understand that guy.

However, Tuoba Liuli's words today also raised a question in her mind.

Could it be that the Great Demon King really knew her a long time ago? But why doesn't she have any recollection of her?

Over the years, she has never experienced any form of temporary amnesia.

All the memories are crystal clear.

But where did that familiar aura about him come from, the kind that made her feel so familiar that it blurred her senses as soon as she got close?

Really, you've known each other for a long time?

That night, the Emperor held a small farewell banquet for the Third Prince and the Seventh Princess of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

At the banquet, the Empress brought up the Third Prince's words from back then: "The Third Prince proposed to you in public that day. I wonder if Ali has made up her mind by now?"
