Looking at her retreating figure, Li Yuan felt puzzled, always feeling that this Daoist Nun was quite strange.
As if she could see right through people at a glance...
...
...
Imperial Palace.
Chen Mo arrived before the Qianqing Gate and had a Palace Servant go in to announce his arrival.
Shortly after, Xu Qingyi dressed in white came over.
"Director Xu, long time no see," greeted Chen Mo as usual.
Xu Qingyi seemed to think of something, her pretty face blushing as she lowered her head without speaking.
The two walked towards the Frozen Sky Palace in silence.
"Cough cough."
After all, he had spanked her, Chen Mo decided to break the ice proactively and spoke up, "Director Xu, last time was a misunderstanding, don’t take it to heart..."
Xu Qingyi’s slender hand suddenly clenched, her ears almost red through.
"To express my apologies, I have a gift for you," said Chen Mo.
"A gift?!"
Xu Qingyi was surprised, with her hands behind her back hurriedly replied, "No, there’s no need, I don’t wear thongs!"
...
Poor Director Xu, she has already reacted.
Chen Mo took out a white bracelet and handed it to her, saying, "This is a Magical Treasure made from Serpent Bone, capable of protecting the body, and could probably withstand a full-force hit from a Fourth-Level Warrior."
Xu Qingyi’s cultivation was not weak, probably much higher than fourth-rank.
But even for a High-grade Mage, once a coarse Martial Artist closed the distance, they could easily be killed in a series of continuous attacks.
This Magical Treasure could save her life at a critical moment.
Looking at the bracelet with its intricately carved designs, Xu Qingyi’s eyes rippled with complex and indistinct emotions.
Hesitating for a long time, she bit her lip and whispered softly, "Thank you, Hundred Households Chen, but this bracelet is too precious, I can’t accept it..."
Chen Mo took out the Purple Phoenix Order, "I command you not to be polite."
...
Xu Qingyi was taken aback.
Then, unable to hold back a chuckle, her lips curved up and her cool face bloomed like pear flowers.
Chen Mo nodded approvingly, "See, Director Xu, you look rather pretty when you smile... You should smile more often, don’t always keep a straight face like you’re worried people won’t realize that we are the villains."
Xu Qingyi coquettishly rolled her eyes at him, her cheeks flushed pink, "I’m not the villain."
"Right right right, you’re not, I am; is that satisfactory?"
Chen Mo shook his head.
