Chapter 1358: Chapter 1358

Indeed, Yu Jizi returned. He wasn’t angry about being fooled by Jin Ziyuan. He regained the Youying Pearl and discovered the secret of the cave, which was quite a good harvest.

When he returned to the Witch Doctor Village in Nanzhao Country, Yue Rujing was in a sweet date with the Commandery Princess from the house of the eighth Prince.

"Princely Heir Yue, I heard that people from your Zhuzhao Country are quite good at chess. Yuezhi also loves playing chess, but unfortunately, few people here like it, making it hard for Yuezhi to find someone to play against. Why don’t we have someone bring a chessboard and play a round?"

Yue Rujing’s expression stiffened slightly, feeling a bit awkward, he said, "Are you referring to Go? The black and white stones?"

"Yes, is there any other chess?" Zhao Yuezhi asked curiously.

"Haha, well..." Yue Rujing fanned himself and said, "That’s unfortunate. I don’t know how to play Go. I come from a military family and learned Xiangqi (Chinese chess)."

"Ah? ?" Zhao Yuezhi felt extremely awkward.

"Then we..." Zhao Yuezhi, tangled up in her handkerchief, looked at Yue Rujing who seemed somewhat uninterested. "From a young age, I loved the culture of Zhuzhao Country, and I can also play your Ancient Stringed Zither."

Yue Rujing felt that dating such a proper lady was simply torture. The two were speechless, the things she liked, he simply did not.

Finally, they made it to noon. Yue Rujing patted his clothes and stood up, saying, "Let’s go have some food first."

Zhao Yuezhi laughed, saying, "Right, right, look at me, I was so focused on playing that I forgot about the time."

Yue Rujing: "..." One morning wasted , it would have been better to go con and deceive with my senior brother.

Zhao Yuezhi instructed the servant to arrange lunch, and after eating, Yue Rujing stood up before Zhao Yuezhi finished. He said, "I have things to do in the afternoon, my senior brother asked me to come back early. I won’t be accompanying you this afternoon, let’s meet again when we have time."

"Ah...?" Zhao Yuezhi put down her chopsticks in shock and stood up as well.

"Weren’t we supposed to go boating at Moon Bay this afternoon?"

"No, no, let’s postpone that to another day, I’m leaving now."

Yue Rujing left almost in a hurry, which made Zhao Yuezhi extremely embarrassed.

As he was already gone, Zhao Yuezhi patted her beautiful cheeks and asked the maid behind her, "Does he not like me?"

The maid smiled and said, "Commandery Princess, how could that be? The Princely Heir Yue took out half a day from his busy schedule to keep you company. If he didn’t like you, why would he waste that time?

I have found out that the Princely Heir Yue has never shown such patience towards a girl before. Like when it was General Duan’s daughter, Duan Xiaomei, she was kicked out by the Princely Heir Yue, which shows his attitude towards women he does not like!"

Comparing this, Zhao Yuezhi felt that the maid’s words made sense. Latest content published on N0veI.Fiɾe.net

Perhaps she was just overthinking things out of worry.

Yue Rujing ran back to the inn, and Gu Youyou who was drying herbs with a sieve joked with him.

"I heard you went on a date with the Commandery Princess today. With a beauty to accompany you, why are you back so early? I wasn’t even going to save dinner for you tonight."

"What kind of thoughts are in your mind?" Yue Rujing twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "No matter what, I can’t stay overnight, really."

"Why not?" Gu Youyou said indifferently, placing the sieve under the sun and turning the herbs over. "The customs in Nanzhao Country are open; staying overnight shouldn’t be unusual. I heard that among ordinary folk, just singing a mountain song could make them stay. Did you sing a mountain song to the Commandery Princess?"
