After the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
A handsome young man invited Dongfang Shuo into the Zither Heart Building.
This Ren was Xu Yan, the one who lived in Xiaoxiang Restaurant's Zither Heart Villa.
"It's so late. Why did Brother Manqian come?”
Xu Yan asked when he saw Dongfang Shuo.
After all, anyone who was disturbed during exercise would not be in a good mood.
Originally, Dongfang Shuo had been a little resentful because he had been blocked outside the Zither Heart Building for such a long time.
However, when he saw Xu Yan's disheveled clothes and his face full of lipstick marks…
How could he not know that his arrival had disturbed the other party's good time? Hence, he laughed and said,"Brother Treeman's life is really something that even immortals would envy!”
This was not Dongfang Shuo's flattery.
It was because he was really envious.
She looked at Xu Yan's life and then thought about her own life.
It was a completely different world.
One of them lived in the Public Transport Bureau provided by the Great Han Imperial Court.
Not to mention that it was stuffy and crowded at night.
There were also a lot of mosquitoes, so she couldn't sleep even if she wanted to.
The other lived in the largest Nvlu Pavilion in Chang 'an.
Not only was the bedroom spacious, but the courtyard was also elegant.
There was also an ice basin to cool down, incense to repel mosquitoes, and the company of the most beautiful courtesan in Chang 'an City. They were singing and dancing happily.
Dongfang Shuo couldn't understand.
It was also a hot summer day.
They were also called scholars from small places.
Why was the difference between people so big?
He then looked at the fresh fruits and pastries on the table.
Dongfang Shuo wanted to cry even more.
This was not to say that the bus station did not provide food.
Instead, it was the food provided by the Public Transport Bureau to the scholars every day. It was really too simple.
He had two meals a day, and every meal was a flatbread and gruel.
There was a fixed amount for each person's meal, and they did not care about filling their stomachs.
Compared to the wine and delicacies, fresh fruits, exquisite pastries, and so on in the Zither Heart Villa, the wine and delicacies were very delicious.
Alright then.
There was no comparison at all. One was in the sky, and the other was underground.
Dongfang Shuo thought.
She was envious of Xu Yan's life.
He finally understood why Xu Yan did not take the emperor's edict to heart.
If it was him…well, Dongfang Shuo really couldn't be as carefree and unconcerned as Xu Yan.
"That's why I said that Brother Treeman is a true immortal.”
"I, Dongfang Shuo, am just a commoner. I can't let go of the fame and fortune of this world.”
Dongfang Shuo sighed in his heart, his confidence in this trip dropping by 30%.
He had no choice.
Dongfang Shuo was quick-witted and eloquent.
However, when facing a god-like figure like Xu Yan, he was still inferior.
He wanted to convince the other party.
How could it be easy?
Furthermore, Dongfang Shuo didn't think he could fool Xu Yan's eyes.
Therefore, he thought about it and finally decided to tell everything that happened tonight in detail.
As for what Xu Yan would do if he knew?
That would depend on Xu Yan himself.
After listening to Dongfang Shuo's explanation, Xu Yan didn't show any surprise. He asked nonchalantly,""Just this small matter?"
Dongfang Shuo was speechless.
Small matter?
Dongfang Shuo was speechless.
He looked at Xu Yan carefully for a long time.
She wanted to see if Xu Yan really did not care or if he was pretending not to care.
Dongfang Shuo didn't believe that anyone could be indifferent to the emperor's visit and treat it as a trivial matter.
However, Dongfang Shuo was disappointed.
He could not see the slightest excitement or nervousness on Xu Yan's face. There was still the usual laziness and indifference.
It was as if Liu Che was just an ordinary person in front of this person. There was no need to be nervous or concerned.
"Does this person not care about his future at all?”
"He doesn't even care about the imperial power, wealth, personal life and death, etc.?”
It was very abrupt.
Dongfang Shuo thought.
Because Xu Yan's performance was really too calm. There was no trace of faking it.
This made Dongfang Shuo suspicious.
He suspected that Xu Yan did not care about Liu Che, the emperor, and did not put this man and the human world in his eyes.
"Could Brother Treeman really be an immortal from the heavens?”
For some reason, another strange thought rose in Dongfang Shuo's mind. He was surprised and at the same time, he couldn't help but cry and laugh."Brother Treeman is a true immortal, so he naturally won't take such a small matter to heart.”
"However, this is an important matter in Manqian's life. It concerns her future, so she has to put in more effort.”
Dongfang Shuo couldn't guess what Xu Yan was thinking, so he could only answer truthfully.
This was the first mission that Liu Che had given him.
If you can't do it well.
Liu Che's impression of him would definitely drop by a lot, and his ability to do things would be looked down upon by a lot, and even doubt would appear.
Therefore, even if Dongfang Shuo didn't have much hope, he had to say,""I wonder if Brother Shuren can enter the palace with Manqian tomorrow to meet the emperor, or temporarily move to the bus station?"
"Sure!"
"What?"
"I said that I can enter the palace with you to see Liu Che.”
"Is what Brother Treeman said true?"
"When I, Xu Shu Ren, speak, every word is worth a thousand gold coins. Why would I lie to you?”
"No, no, it's mainly because Brother Treeman's decision surprised me too much. I just found it hard to believe.”
Dongfang Shuo said incoherently.
Because he never thought that Xu Yan would agree to his request so easily and follow him into the palace to see Liu Che.
After a brief moment of excitement and surprise, he was stunned.
Dongfang Shuo was also very curious and couldn't help but ask,""Brother Treeman, don't you always hate officialdom? Why did you do it this time?"
Although he did not finish his sentence.
But Dongfang Shuo's meaning was clear.
It was nothing more than why he agreed to meet Liu Che so easily.
Hearing this question.
Xu Yan smiled indifferently.
"It can't be helped, Dongfang Shuo is the only friend I've acknowledged in this life.”
"Dongfang Shuo, you've already asked, how can I refuse?”
"And…"
When Xu Yan said this, he paused for a moment and then said leisurely,"It's precisely because I hate this world's officialdom that I need to meet this world's Liu Che and hear what he thinks."
