"Why don't you hide it? There aren't many people in this world who know your secret, and I don't think the State Advisor will say anything." Lan Er suggested from the side.

Shangguan Li shook his head. "If he has hidden it from us, then we can't be together with all of our hearts. That way, we won't be compromising his sincerity."

"Why don't you give it a try? I don't think the beast kings are people who are too caught up in this kind of thing." Lan Er said again.

"To be honest, I don't dare." Shangguan Li pressed down on his chest and said: "I don't even dare to imagine how he would look at me when I confess this matter."

"Pavilion Master ?"

"You can laugh at me, but I don't care what he thinks." Shangguan Li immediately felt that it was a little better and continued: "Alright, let's talk about it."

"Yes."

That day, the Little Marten returned to the Imperial Advisor'S Mansion with its head down. Hua Ruge was waiting in the front hall, but seeing that, he knew that he had been thwarted.

"Little Marten, be good. I'm not sad. Come to big sister's place." She felt a pang in her heart when she saw him like this.

The Little Marten walked over and said with a wronged expression: "I now know, that Big Sister Ah Li does not like me."

"Alright, alright." Hua Ruge patted his shoulder and said: "Let's talk inside."

After that, the Little Marten explained the entire process. Hearing those words, Hua Ruge's heart felt extremely relieved and he couldn't help but say: "I really don't know what this Ah Li is thinking, how can she not be tempted?"

When the Little Marten heard this, it did not know what to say. In short, it was not in a good mood.

Hua Ruge patted his head and said, "Don't be anxious. Ah Li is already a bit awkward, wait for me to go talk to her."

"Elder sister, am I that unpleasant?" The Little Marten raised his head and asked her.

Hua Ruge felt his heart ache for the pitiful child, and immediately said: "How is that possible? My Little Marten is the most likeable, you must believe in yourself."

The Little Marten nodded and did not speak further.

Hua Ruge sighed silently, organized his thoughts and said: "I'll get the kitchen to make something for you to eat, I'll go ask her."

The Little Marten agreed to the second half of the sentence. As for food that he could not eat, he directly went back to his room.

"This thing really does grind people." Hua Ruge sighed.

In the next moment, she disappeared from her original position, and when she reappeared, she was already in Shangguan Li's courtyard.

At this time, Shangguan Li had already entered his room to rest. When he walked out, he quietly closed the door to his room and turned around to see Hua Ruge appearing out of thin air.

"I say, State Advisor, you can't just go through the door. You come and go all day and you scare me to death." Lan Er patted his chest and said.

"Since you're so obedient, I won't scare you to death." Hua Ruge casually teased.

Lan Er could not help but glare at her: "You have nothing serious, you only know how to bully me."

"I came today because I have some important matters to attend to. Let me be concerned about the relationship between your Pavilion Master." Hua Ruge pointed to the door and said: "You can go in."

Lan Er came to a realization and hurriedly stepped forward: "You know everything right?"

"More or less." Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows at her: I wonder what your pavilion master is thinking, is she really unmoved?

Lan Er's face revealed worry: "You know that ?."

"Lan Er, what did you say about me?" Just at this time, Shangguan Li pushed open the door. Although she was called Lan Er, her gaze still went past her and landed on Hua Ruge's body.

Lan Er was not afraid, he only said to Hua Ruge: "Why don't you ask for yourself, I'll tell you if you can't."

"It's a deal." Hua Ruge smiled as he looked at Shangguan Li: "I think you also need to find someone to chat. Did I come at the right time?"

"No." Although Shangguan Li said that, he still walked out of the room.

When Lan Er went to make tea, there were only two people left in the courtyard.

After sitting down, Shangguan Li still did not say anything.

Hua Ruge keenly noticed the fatigue on her face and knew something, so he said: "Looks like you didn't plan to hide it from me, why don't you tell me?"

"I have to be able to hide it from you as well." Shangguan Li laughed bitterly.

"It was all your fault." Hua Ruge changed his tone and asked again: "Speak, what are you worried about?"

"You are very smart." Shangguan Li sighed slightly and said, "I admit, I like him too. I can feel happy by his side, you know how extravagant this feeling is to me."

"I say, how can you not be tempted at all?" Hua Ruge was a little less conflicted now.

"But I don't want to take that step forward. I can't accept such strong feelings." When Shangguan Li spoke, his eyes revealed a hint of a Pain Color.

Hua Ruge frowned slightly, then asked: "You don't have a sense of security right?"

"I think you should understand that my life has already been like this. Let's just go along with it." Shangguan Li said again.

Hua Ruge was definitely the person who understood Shangguan Li the most in this world. She had experienced too much suffering, her heart was already riddled with holes.

Hua Ruge let out a long breath, and said: "I understand your thoughts, but you still have the ability to make yourself better, perhaps you can try it?"

Shangguan Li shook his head: "I understand the logic, but even though I still look like a young person, my soul has already left my body, and I cannot make the decision that requires courage."

Hua Ruge sighed. She was an extremely intelligent person, but it was because of her intelligence that she didn't know what to say.

"Help me keep these a secret." Shangguan Li said again.

Hua Ruge nodded: "But I still hope that you can think about it."

"I will." Shangguan Li agreed quickly.

"Alright, I'm free tonight, would you like a drink?" Hua Ruge asked.

Shangguan Li nodded: "Okay."

It was already night, and after the dishes were served, the two of them drank in the courtyard. This time, Hua Ruge did his best to control himself from drinking too much, and he also restrained himself from drinking too much.

"Actually, I really admire you for being so rational at such a time." Hua Ruge said.

Shangguan Li laughed lightly: "I'm used to it, what use is drinking alcohol anyway, it's not the time when I'm awake yet, no matter what kind of worries I have, I still have to digest them in the end."

"You are just too clear-headed."

"It's also a habit." Shangguan Li thought for a while, then said: "Tell me, how did I get into such a habit?"

Hua Ruge didn't know what to say, and could only raise his glass: "Come, let's drink."

That night, the two talked for a long time, but it was nothing to do with matters of the heart. In the end, Hua Ruge got drunk and started to speak nonsense as usual.

Shangguan Li was also a little drunk, laughing from the side, and occasionally attacking.

Just as the moon hung high in the sky, an attendant walked in and reported, "Pavilion Master, Lord Ling Tian Palace has arrived."2

"Please come in." Shangguan Li said.
