Lu Xingjiang and his harem group are the protagonists of this world. Naturally, the few of them are leading the way at the front.
Lu Lili still walks behind them.
Lu Xingjiang chats and laughs with the three girls along the way, never once turning back to glance at Lu Lili as if he has already forgotten that he has a younger sister in the group.
He is a person who easily forgets his friends for romantic interests.
Of course, Lu Lili doesn’t mind being ignored at all.
Her task is only to help the male lead obtain the treasure map, not to have a deep sibling bond with him.
Seeing Pei Yijian walking at the back with his two brothers, Lu Lili deliberately slows down her pace.
When she walks side by side with him, Lu Lili reaches out and gently tugs at his broad black sleeve.
“Brother Pei, Brother Pei.”
She even lowers her voice and calls him twice.
Lu Lili is just curious about what’s wrong with this guy. He hasn’t been smiling since Lu Xingjiang appeared.
Could it be that the two of them had some conflicts previously?
But they seem to not have known each other before…
Pei Yijian was originally feeling gloomy, but now, because of her coming close to him, his carefree smile reappeared on his face.
He lowered his head and chuckled, “Twelfth Princess, may I ask if you still plan to return to the village to change your name and surname?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Lili twitched her lips.
There was no way around it. Lu Xingjiang didn’t conceal his true identity, which meant she couldn’t conceal hers either.
Facing Pei Yijian’s teasing, she could only reply, “Suddenly, I feel that my name is quite good and doesn’t need to be changed.”
She originally thought that Pei Yijian would say something to tease her, but instead, she saw him nod in agreement, saying, “Indeed, it’s much better than names like Xiao Hong or Xiao Hua.”
Lu Lili : “…hehe, thank you.”
After dinner, as the sky grew dark, lanterns were lit in every household.
Lu Xingjiang was going to take the three girls to buy some items they needed.
He asked Lu Lili if she wanted to come along.
Lu Lili quickly shook her head and said, “No, I want to go back to the inn and rest.”
No way, she had no interest in being a light bulb.
Lu Xingjiang doesn’t insist, he looked at Pei Yijian and earnestly pleaded, “I’ll leave it to you guys to take my sister back to the inn.”
At this moment, he felt very reassured by Pei Yijian.
After Lu Xingjiang and the three girls left, Lu Lili looked at the lively streets adorned with lanterns and reached out to tug at Pei Yijian’s sleeve, smiling at him. She said, “Brother Pei, since there’s still plenty of time, how about we go around and explore?”
It was her first time in the ancient world, and she was very interested in the night market here!
However, in the darkness of the night, a hint of hesitation flashed in Pei Yijian’s pitch-black eyes.
He glanced at Wen Qijin and Zhou Yue, who were standing beside him and subtly shaking their heads.
Then, he responded to Lu Lili’s words:
“…Haha, didn’t you want to go back to the inn and rest? We’ll take you back now.”
His tone didn’t reveal whether his mood had changed.
But Lu Lili could tell that he was politely refusing.
So she cheerfully replied, “Alright then, I’m actually tired today. Let’s go back to the inn!”
Seeing Lu Lili enter her room with his own eyes, Pei Yijian immediately left the inn with the other two.
And Lu Lili wasn’t really resting either. She quickly changed into men’s clothing and followed behind them from a distance.
Yes, she just wanted to see what Pei Yijian was up to after rejecting her invitation and sneaking off without her.
Well, it’s hard to explain, but she had an inexplicable feeling of “catching them in the act.”
This time, Lu Lili was very careful not to let the three of them notice her, and she witnessed with her own eyes as they entered an improper place together…
