Xuan Yingluo walked over and the third brother couldn’t help but laugh. “Little Four, where did you go? Big Brother was looking for you just now.”
Zhou Yu’s two confidants were the second and third brother. The second brother was a refined scholar who was good at strategizing and was also cautious and steady. The third brother was young, lively and quick-witted, like a child. However, his martial arts were exceptional and he was completely devoted to Zhou Yu, one year, Zhou Yu was surrounded by the enemy and the third was stabbed dozens of times. He risked his life to save Zhou Yu.
Now that Xuan Yingluo was here, the third kept making fun of her, “Little Four, ever since Big Brother brought you back, I’ve brought you everywhere. My brothers are privately asking if big brother likes you. Those beautiful girls are lining up to get close to my big brother, but you’ve taken all the seats.”
“However,”third brother sized up Xuan Yingluo. Although Xuan Yingluo was wearing a thick black cotton coat that covered her figure, she still looked delicate and couldn’t hide her beauty. Third Brother reached out his hand, he wanted to pinch Xuan Yingluo’s waist. “Little Four, you look like a woman. Look at your waist.”
Xuan Yingluo dodged and avoided third brother’s hand, standing behind Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu’s body was strong, and half of his straight shoulders blocked Xuan Yingluo. His dark eyes glanced indifferently at third brother. “Stop fooling around.”
Third brother tugged at second brother. “Second brother, look, Big Brother only dotes on Little Four Now!”
Zhou Yu ignored third brother. He glanced at Xuan Yingluo beside him. “Little Four, do you want to Try Your Hand?”
“Okay.”
Xuan Yingluo reached out her small hand and picked up the bow and arrow. The sharp arrow in her hand flew out with a whoosh.
The sharp arrow pierced through the red heart in front of it and then hit the willow leaf. It pierced through the willow leaf with a hundred steps. It was the same path as Zhou Yu’s arrow.
Oh My God.
His third brother sucked in a breath of cold air. It was said that only the current crown prince, Lu Chengye, could compete with Zhou Yu. He did not expect that the small and ordinary little four, who still had a bit of a feminine air, would have such skills.
Second Brother looked at little four and nodded repeatedly. Little Four, who could save his big brother from the desert, and Little Four, who could make his big brother carry him everywhere, was not an ordinary person?
Second Brother looked at third brother. “Are you convinced?”
Third brother nodded. “Yes, I’m convinced!”
Zhou Yu’s handsome and tough face did not look surprised. He raised his straight eyebrows and said, “Not bad.”
“Thank you for your praise, Big Brother.”
Zhou Yu opened his long legs and walked out of the shooting range. He stood on a hill and looked forward.
The second and third brother stopped and waited at the back. Xuan Yingluo went forward and came to Zhou Yu’s side. The two of them looked at each other. The cold wind in the north blew their clothes until they were fluttering. One of them was cold and strong, it was difficult to hide the rebellious evil in their bones and blood. She was like a fairy who fell from the sky. She was spotless and beautiful.
Xuan Yingluo was extremely beautiful. Ever since she was young, her father Xuan Ying had brought her to war. She also studied under the Queen, Jun Xi Qing. Naturally, she was good at scheming and had wisdom. She had the demeanor of a young daughter of the Jun family when Jun Xi Qing was young.
However, she was different from Jun Xi Qing. Xuan Yingluo’s birth mother was Xia Ling. Back then, a dance that could topple the city and she was now the fashion godmother. Xia Ling had taught Xuan Yingluo the good manners and etiquette of a young lady from a young age. He was proficient in zither, chess, poetry, and painting, including dance, she was proficient in everything.
Hence, Xuan Yingluo’s personality was cold and calm. She did not smile often. Her pair of sharp eyes were like the holy water on a snowy mountain. When she looked around, they were the color of a woman’s soul.
Xuan Ying Xia Ling, the Lord Lu Yiming, and Jun Xi Qing had protected Xuan Yingluo too well. Until now, Xuan Yingluo had not been exposed to the world.
When Xuan Yingluo rescued Zhou Yu three months ago, Zhou Yu naturally sent people to investigate Xuan Yingluo’s background, but they really did not find anything.
Because of this, Xuan Yingluo gained Zhou Yu’s trust.
“Big Brother, do you want to return to the capital?”Xuan Yingluo asked softly.
Zhou Yu retracted his gaze from afar and glanced at Xuan Yingluo. “Why do you ask?”
Xuan Yingluo looked sideways at him. “Isn’t Big Brother standing here looking at the capital from afar?”
Zhou Yu curled his lips, but no emotions could be seen. “I’m the King of the northern lands. I eat and drink well. Why should I return to the capital?”
“No matter how good the northern lands are, they are not big brother’s home. The capital is Big Brother’s home.”
The smile on Zhou Yu’s lips slowly disappeared. His eyes gradually darkened, like the dark night of the northern lands, as dangerous as the mouth of an abyss.
Xuan Yue was fearless. She continued to speak softly, “Big Brother, the Lord and Queen are actually very good to you because they feel guilty towards big brother and mother. The Lord and Queen have always treated you as their child. Even though you have been the king of the northern lands all these years, they have only wanted to appease you. They have never been hostile towards you. Has Big Brother Ever Thought of… Going Home?”
Zhou Yu placed one hand in his trouser pocket and was silent for a moment. Then, two simple words came out from his throat. “No.”
After saying that, Zhou Yu turned around and left.
Xuan Yingluo quietly lowered Yu Jie. She sighed in her heart. This was the last chance she gave him, but he rejected it.
In the future, he and she could only be enemies.
At this moment, a large palm suddenly landed on her shoulder. She clearly did not use much strength, but Xuan Yingluo felt a weight on her shoulder, as if a stone was pressing down on her. She looked back and saw that Zhou Yu had returned. His thin lips curved into a half-smile, “What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”
“Oh, Big Brother, let go first.”
Xuan Yingluo pushed the huge palm on her shoulder.
Zhou Yu valued talent. Xuan Yingluo had saved his life and was extraordinary, so he naturally valued her. Second Brother was cautious and steady, and third brother was loyal to him. However, these two people might not really understand him, but Xuan Yingluo was different, the conversation just now had touched his heartstrings without batting an eyelid.
Now, in private, his brothers were saying that he liked to bring little four with him. They were inseparable, and they even said that he liked men.
Zhou Yu did not know why she always brought little four with her. Now that he looked down at her, not only did he not let go of her, but he even pinched her shoulder with his large palm.
It was a very casual movement. When he pinched her, he realized that she was not as soft as a bone.
Zhou Yu chuckled. “Why are you so skinny? How much do you weigh?”
He asked her about her weight.
Xuan Yingluo pushed his hand away and walked away. “Big Brother, you can guess.”
Zhou Yu chased after her with his long legs. His two large palms grabbed her waist from behind and lifted her up easily. He weighed her. “Is it 90 kilograms?”
Xuan Yingluo did not expect him to chase after her and hug her. She turned her head and said coldly, “Big Brother, let go.”
“Why Are You So Nervous? Can I eat you? Don’t worry, I’m not interested in men, but…”
Zhou Yu’s large palm landed on her slender waist. She usually wore thick clothes, so her curves could not be seen. However, when his palm landed on her, the sunken curve on his palm was like the thin mouth of a porcelain vase. It was so thin and soft that it looked like a woman.
