The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Chapter 138 Young Man on White Horse Drunk in Spring Breeze 51

Then, mercilessly, she stepped forward, grabbed his shoulders, and shook him vigorously, shouting anxiously, "It's already this hour, and you still have the mind to sit here and leisurely drink tea! Why don't you think of a solution? What should we do now?"

"Don't be so impatient." Zhuo Yue'an frowned slightly, staring helplessly at the anxious Bai Hehuai in front of him, and gently comforted him, "Don't be so impulsive, let's calm down for a while, maybe we can come up with a solution."

Hearing this, Bai Hehuai bit his lip hard and took several deep breaths, trying to calm the anxiety surging in his heart. After a long while, he finally calmed down a little, but his tone was still anxious: "Then tell me quickly! In this situation, can we just sit there and wait?"

Zhuo Yue sat quietly on the stool, his eyes lowered in thought for a moment. Suddenly, a subtle sly glint flashed across his sharp eyes. He slowly stood up, stepped forward, leaned close to Bai Hehuai's ear, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

After listening to this, Bai Hehuai frowned tightly, with a look of deep doubt on his face. He asked doubtfully, "Will this really work? Will it be bad..."

Zhuo Yuean, however, smiled nonchalantly, patted Bai Hehuai's shoulder confidently, and said reassuringly, "Don't worry! Even if we're discovered, nothing will happen."

Seeing Zhuo Yuean's confidence, Bai Hehuai, though still a little uneasy, chose to trust him. So, the two of them looked at each other, nodded, and walked out of the room one after the other to Ye Dingzhi's room.

Then, Bai Hehuai carefully pressed her ear against the crack in the door, concentrating on catching even the slightest sound from inside the house. Her expression was focused and nervous, as if she could glimpse the secrets of the entire world through this tiny gap.

Meanwhile, Zhuo Yuean leaned leisurely against a nearby pillar. His gaze was fixed on nothing else but Bai Hehuai's adorable and lively figure. At the same time, he pricked up his ears, attempting to join Bai Hehuai in eavesdropping on what was going on inside the house.

However, no matter how hard they listened, the room remained silent, as still as a pool of stagnant water. At that moment, Ye Dingzhi, who was inside, had completely regained his composure. With his keen senses, he quickly noticed two figures outside the door. At this thought, a warm feeling washed over Ye Dingzhi, and even the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

He slowly took steps towards the door. When he reached the door, he reached out without hesitation to grasp the door handle, and with a gentle pull, the door opened. Bai Hehuai was already leaning against the door, so the moment it suddenly opened, her body lost its support and she fell straight forward. Just as she was about to plunge into Ye Dingzhi's arms, Zhuo Yuean, who was standing behind her, rushed forward, quickly grabbed the corner of Bai Hehuai's clothes, and successfully pulled him back.

Zhuo Yuean quickly reached out to support Bai Hehuai, who was still a little unsteady on his feet, and asked with concern, "How is it? Are you okay?"

Bai Hehuai's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked a little embarrassed. She coughed lightly and replied calmly, "I... I'm fine."

At this time, Ye Dingzhi looked at the two people in front of him who looked a little embarrassed with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Since you are here, don't stand outside, come in quickly."

Zhuo Yuean and Bai Hehuai walked into the room side by side, and Ye Dingzhi asked them to sit down.

As soon as the two sat down, they couldn't help but cast concerned glances at Ye Dingzhi. The worry in their eyes seemed to be tangible. However, in the face of such heavy concern from his friends, Ye Dingzhi simply smiled and said softly, "Don't worry too much, I'm fine. I'm really sorry that you have to take the trouble to come all this way for my sake."

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yuean immediately frowned and shook his head to express his disagreement. He refuted in a firm tone: "What are you talking about! Why should we be so hard? We are not only friends, but also brothers who are as close as brothers! Why are you so distant with us?" Bai Hehuai, who was standing beside him, nodded hurriedly, muttering: "That's right, that's right!"

Ye Dingzhi was deeply moved. He reached out and gently patted Zhuo Yuean on the shoulder, thanking him sincerely, "Thank you so much." At this moment, Zhuo Yuean suddenly seemed to have thought of something. A look of doubt appeared on his face. He stared at Ye Dingzhi and asked, "But looking at you now, could it be that you have already noticed this matter?"

Ye Dingzhi nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and slowly began to tell them the whole story in detail...

Initially, his heart burned with the fire of revenge, he often immersed himself in diligent martial arts training, almost neglecting food and sleep. As Luo Shui's disciple, Yi Wenjun should have received Luo Shui's meticulous instruction, but Luo Shui was often distracted by Mo Yan's care, leaving it often to Luo He to teach Yi Wenjun martial arts. Over time, this dynamic fostered a special bond between them.

Ye Dingzhi keenly noticed that Yi Wenjun often seemed absent-minded when they were traveling together. Whenever they sat together and talked, Yi Wenjun would unconsciously mention Luo He, her words revealing her unconcealed concern and care.

Furthermore, when Luo He later personally came to meet them, their gazes were filled with complex and subtle emotions. That ambiguous atmosphere was obvious to Ye Dingzhi, who was constantly watching Yi Wenjun. The look in their eyes was far from innocent. However, despite this, apart from the occasional eye contact, they didn't overstep their bounds in any manner.

"It's actually like this..." Zhuo Yue'an muttered to himself, his face filled with astonishment. He had never expected things to turn out this way. Bai Hehuai, standing beside him, was equally shocked. Until now, she had always simply believed that their relationship was just an ordinary friendship, but she had never imagined that it would hide such a subtle and complex emotional entanglement.

"So what are your plans now?" Zhuo Yuean turned his gaze to Ye Dingzhi, his eyes filled with sincere concern.
