And so, Lu Lili successfully made Lu Xingjiang abandon the idea of sending her back to the palace.
He also agreed to let her accompany him on his adventures in the martial world.
“However, I have important matters to attend to, and I may not be able to take care of you in many aspects. You must learn to take care of yourself,” Lu Xingjiang added after calming down.
Suddenly, he recalled that he didn’t have a deep bond with his sister in the palace.
The prince and the princess had lived separately since childhood, residing in different palaces and rarely having time to chat and play together.
In his memory, he hadn’t spoken much with this sister of the same mother…
Therefore, he found it unbelievable and somewhat pleasantly surprised by her sudden reliance on him as her elder brother.
However, blood ties are indeed peculiar; they can instantly make the relationship between unfamiliar individuals become intimate.
Lu Lili promptly reassured him, “Don’t worry, Imperial Brother, I won’t cause you any trouble!”
Well, if she does end up causing trouble, they can deal with it then.
After all, the one thing that everyone in the world cannot avoid is trouble!
Even the mighty emperor, who stands above all, has his own share of troubles!
Actually, Lu Lili doesn’t have to follow Lu Xingjiang. It’s just that the treasure map is currently only a rumor, and no one knows where it is exactly. She might as well stick with Lu Xingjiang and bask in his male lead halo.
Following behind Lu Xingjiang, Lu Lili also walked out of the guest room.
When she met a burning gaze, Lu Lili smiled at the source slightly.
Pei Yijian didn’t return her smile.
Looking at her teary eyes, Pei Yijian felt a dullness in his heart, unable to smile at all.
Lu Xingjiang had already come forward and greeted the three people outside the door in the manner of a martial artist.
Although he never concealed his identity, openly revealing his royal status, he never acted like a prince when he went out to travel the martial world.
As he asked who these three young men were, Lu Lili also pricked up her ears to listen.
Wen Qijin was the first to recognize Lu Xingjiang, indicating that they had met on some occasion before.
He stepped forward and bowed, saying, “I am Wen Qijin, the concubine’s son of General Wen’s family. These two are my friends, Zhou Yue and Pei Yijian. Their fathers were commanders under General Wen and sacrificed themselves in the war ten years ago.”
Heroes who defend their homes and country deserve the respect of thousands, and the orphans of heroes deserve people’s reverence as well.
Lu Xingjiang’s gaze towards them changed instantly, and his tone of speech became somewhat polite. A friendly smile appeared on his face.
Especially when watching Pei Yijian, Lu Xingjiang found him more pleasing to the eye, and decided to withdraw the intention to deal with him.
Lu Lili’s gaze also fell on Pei Yijian.
She couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. Does he also have a “no family” setting this time? Why is he always so pitiful without parents?
She still remembered when they first got married in the previous world. He would always hold her and happily say that he finally had a home of his own.
That appearance was truly distressing and cute.
After exchanging greetings, they could be considered acquainted and agreed to go to a restaurant for a meal together.
Before going downstairs, Lu Xingjiang spoke up, “Please wait a moment, I still need to bring three friends along…”
Lu Lili’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “Brother, I’ll go with you!”
Well, if her male lead brother was destined to have a large harem in this ancient patriarchal society, then she wanted to see those sisters-in-law of hers~
