Chapter 125 The Headache of Yu Ning Palace

In a blink of an eye, the Tiangong celebration had arrived, and the Tiangong became lively. Even the usually deserted Moon Palace felt the atmosphere of celebration.

Lin Yi remembered the piece of jade that Bing Ke asked him to hand over, and asked Yue Huaiqing about the guests, "Has anyone from Yu Ning Palace come?"

Yue Huaiqing said, "I came early, how could that shrewd person in Ningzhuang let go of this opportunity to get close to Tiangong?"

Lin Yi noticed Yue Huaiqing's contemptuous look when he mentioned Yuning Palace, so he probably knew about Ningzhuang's embarrassing position in Tiangong.

Taking advantage of being able to move around freely in the heavenly court before the end of the Tiangong celebration, Lin Yi decided to take the initiative to pay a visit to Yuning Palace.

Yue Huaiqing seemed rather reluctant when leading the way, "Yiyi, how did you become friends with Yuning Palace?"

Lin Yi said, "I was taken care of by them when I was in the human world, and it is only natural for me to visit them now."

Yue Huaiqing pointed to a row of sandalwood buildings in front, "This is the place for the guests to live. People from Yuning Palace live in the far right corner."

Generally speaking, the left side is the most precious in festive activities, which implies that Yuning Palace is not valued among the guests of Tiangong.

Yue Huaiqing didn't like dealing with Yu Ninghong, so she sent Lin Yi to the door and left on her own.

Lin Yi knocked on the door, "I'm Lin Yi, can I come in?"

"Please come in."

Lin Yi pushed open the door and saw Ning Zhuang with her head down, sitting by the bed and writing something with a pen.A strand of black hair hung down from his forehead and fell on the beige rice paper. He wrote with a calm face, as if he was not worried that his hair would be stained with ink.

Lin Yi asked with some embarrassment, "Did I bother you?"

Ning Zhuang looked up at him, "I'm sorry, please wait a little longer, I'll finish writing this letter soon."

Soon, Ning Zhuang raised his head from the paper again, pushed his glasses, and smiled decently and politely at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi said, "You seem to be used to lying down very low when writing?"

Ning Zhuang stood up from the chair and put the written paper into the envelope, "I have an old problem, that's why I'm short-sighted."

Lin Yi remembered his purpose, and said the words he had thought up long ago, "I have never formally thanked you for saving Wang Ji."

Ning Zhuang smiled, "There is nothing to be thankful for. I saved his life for my purpose."

Lin Yi didn't expect Ning Zhuang to speak so straightforwardly, which seemed to be very different from his previous behavior.Today, his mood seems to be a little abnormal.Lin Yi asked, "What about Ningxi, why didn't I see him today? I thought you would definitely bring him to see the world."

"What kind of world do you see?" Ning Zhuang's mouth curled up with an imperceptible trace of self-mockery, making Ning Xi suffer all kinds of contempt and ridicule in the heavenly court like herself?

Lin Yi took out a piece of jade from his bosom and handed it to Ning Zhuang, "This is the jade I got occasionally in the sky, and I give it to Ning Xi as a thank you gift from me."

Ning Zhuang took the jade with great interest, "Where did you get this piece of jade?"

Lin Yi said, "This is a gift from other palaces when I started my tenure in Tiangong."

Ning Zhuang lifted the jade, looked at it carefully in the sunlight, and suddenly said, "Is this Bingke's?"

"Ah?" Lin Yi didn't expect Ning Zhuang to guess the answer all at once. He didn't know whether the answer was yes or no, so he could only vaguely say, "It's all a wish, you just accept it."

Ning Zhuang said, "Before he left Yu Ning Palace, I gave him a piece of jade and engraved the character 'Hui' on it, hoping that he would come back soon. And now, a word is also engraved on this piece of jade."

"What word?"

Ning Zhuang's expression was almost illusory under the sunlight, he said softly, "The most ridiculous word, 'love'."

Lin Yi's heart trembled suddenly. He had vaguely noticed a long time ago that the relationship between Bingke and Ningzhuang was not simple, but before that, it was shrouded in veil, and he couldn't figure it out. The word "love" today makes everything clear.

Lin Yi couldn't help but confirm, "What was the relationship between you and Bingke?"

"We used to be better, but that's all in the past." Ning Zhuang told Lin Yi the answer without hesitation.

Lin Yi stood where he was, not knowing how to react.

Ning Zhuang said with some amusement, "Mr. Lin, you don't have to be so surprised, who hasn't had a past? Now that Ning Xi is so big, I have already put it down."

Lin Yi suddenly thought that he seemed to have never met Ningxi's mother. For so many years, the position of the wife of Yu Ning Palace has been vacant. Does this imply that the person in front of him who said to let go is not Really relieved?

Lin Yi said, "General Bing Ke asked me to bring you this piece of jade, which means he still misses you..."

"Mr. Lin, you really misunderstood." Ning Zhuang turned around and took the letter on the table, and handed it to Lin Yi, "This is a letter I wrote to General Bingke, can you give it to him for me?"

"This……"

Ningzhuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing important in it, it's just a farewell letter."

The "farewell letter" seemed so insignificant in Ning Zhuang's tone.

Lin Yi said, "I can't give it to him for you, you should give it to him yourself."

Ning Zhuang suppressed the smile on his face and said earnestly, "Mr. Lin, if you really want to thank me for saving Wang Ji's life, please give him this letter."

"I...but..."

Ning Zhuang stuffed the letter into Lin Yi's arms, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, I've been really busy recently, forgive me for not entertaining me well."

Lin Yi sighed and closed the door.He was walking through the corridor and met an unexpected person, "Yi Wang?"

The man who was more beautiful than the woman raised his head and glanced at Lin Yi, but there was no trace of joy in meeting his old friend in his eyes.

Lin Yi said, "Why are you here? I heard from Baishan that you have traveled the world."

Yi Wang hooked the corners of his mouth, showing a trace of evil charm, and he approached Lin Yi silently, "How can there be so many beauties in the world? I think this young man, you look just like my appetite."

"What about you?" Lin Yi looked at the changes in Yi Wang with some surprise.

Yiwang leaned closer to his ear, and said in a tone that only the two of them could hear, "I'm from Yuning Palace now, stay away from me."

From the corner of Lin Yi's eyes, he caught a glimpse of a man who looked like a guard in the corner. That man seemed to be silently watching the movement here. He pushed Yi Wang away clearly, "Get out."

He hurried out of the sandalwood building, feeling a little oppressed.

Ningzhuang, Bingke, Yiwang... These three people all gave him a little headache, especially the fact that all three of them were connected with Yuning Palace, a place that neither Tiangong nor Demon Realm would want to admit. The place that seems to be the most vulnerable is actually the most dangerous.
