Chapter 274 The Set-up
Fanli snorted, "They said that I look a lot like Princess Lingqi, and that you have a close relationship with her."
Qi Yuan sneered, his eyes narrowed slightly, "I don't know if she looks like me or not, I haven't noticed what she looks like, as for the close relationship, let alone mentioning it, didn't I just say that I only spoke a few words to her."
Fanli asked directly, "Then why did you protect her? You didn't talk to me for several days because of her. When I went to find you, you closed yourself off."
Qi Yuan: “…”???
Qi Yuan: "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"
He didn't even have the impression that Fanli mentioned this.
I only remember that Lingqi was one of the leaders who surrounded and killed Fanli three thousand years later.
"Just before you went into seclusion."
At that time, Fanli was invited to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and she went there since she had nothing to do. Qi Yuan and Yan Ting were not in heaven, and went to Penglai together. Hua Si's pet parrot could not eat spiritual food recently, and he was not in the mood to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet. In the end, only Fanli showed up, and she arrived halfway.
Having a god present was already considered an honor. The Peony Fairy and others who were hosting the Hundred Flowers Banquet were quite flattered to hear that the goddess would come, and they even instructed that nothing should go wrong.
It was quite a coincidence that this was the first time that Fanli saw Lingqi. She came to the Heavenly Palace neither too often nor too few times, but more often than Yan Ting. Occasionally, when she was free, she would come to see what these immortals were doing. Every time she came, Lingqi was not there.
When Shi Fanli saw the Hundred Flowers Banquet this time, she just glanced at it indifferently. After receiving the greetings from the fairies, she sat at the top to enjoy the singing and dancing and the various kinds of flowers. It was a feast for the eyes, a hundred flowers in full bloom, competing for beauty.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet had not yet ended, and Fanli was strolling around, ordering no one to follow her.
While walking around, Fanli heard people gossiping, and soon she heard her name mentioned in their mouths.
Originally it was about Lingqi, but later it involved Fanli.
These two fairies were also invited guests to the Hundred Flowers Banquet. When they saw Fanli and Lingqi, they said that they looked a little similar, especially their eyebrows and eyes.
After hearing what others said, Fanli was a little puzzled. Does Princess Lingqi really look like her?
There were so many beauties, in all colors and colors, that Fanli was overwhelmed and dazzled, but she didn't notice anything at all.
Later on, it was said that the princess and the god were suspected to have had a love affair tens of thousands of years ago...
After hearing this, Fanli felt that it was most likely that he was talking nonsense, so she scolded him a few words and then let him go.
Fanli also went to other places, but it was also strange that wherever she went, people were talking about how she and Lingqi looked alike. Not only that, it was also the second time Fanli heard that Lingqi and Qi Yuan had a past.
The first time she heard it, she found it a little funny and Fanli naturally didn't believe it. But when she heard it again, and several people still said that she looked like Lingqi, Fanli felt a little uncomfortable. This clearly meant that Qi Yuan liked Lingqi, or that he liked people with this kind of appearance.
Fanli directly said that if she heard such words again, she would punish those talkative fairies.
Can't God just talk about it casually?
As soon as they saw Fanli, they all reacted in panic and promised not to say it again.
Fanli originally planned to leave after shopping, but after hearing those words, Fanli returned to the main hall.
She looked at Lingqi's appearance carefully and felt that her eyebrows and eyes were indeed somewhat similar to hers, and Lingqi was also wearing a red dress today, which made them look even more similar visually.
After the banquet, Fanli called Lingqi to talk to her for a few words.
Lingqi's attitude towards Fanli was respectful and impeccable, but what she said was completely different. She almost said that she and Qi Yuan had a past relationship, but they had a conflict and separated. Later, Fanli appeared by Qi Yuan's side.
As soon as these words were spoken, Fanli's eyes suddenly became gloomy. She looked at Lingqi with an innate aura that made people tremble with fear. Lingqi's face turned pale, but she was still smiling.
Fanli waved her sleeves and left, hearing Lingqi's words: "Farewell, Her Highness the Goddess."
Fanli went directly to Qiyao Mountain to look for Qi Yuan, but when she arrived she remembered that Qi Yuan had gone to Penglai.
It was several days after the Hundred Flowers Banquet that Qi Yuan returned. During this time, Fanli also contacted him using the voice jade. It was not until the day before his return that Qi Yuan contacted Fanli and said that he would be back the next day. He also asked Fanli not to think too much. Finally, he said that he would go into seclusion after returning.
This period of seclusion lasted for nearly four thousand years.
Neither of them had the chance to meet and talk about the matter about Princess Lingqi that Fanli cared about.
Qi Yuan: "I have no recollection of this incident. On my way back from Penglai, I was entangled by a succubus. It was an ancient succubus that came out of the forbidden land. It was immortal and extremely difficult to deal with. After I sealed it all away, I was already seriously injured. I went into seclusion as soon as I returned."
"There was no such thing as maintenance, nor was I not talking to you. I was just fighting the succubus those few days."
Speaking of this, an idea popped into Qi Yuan's mind.
The immortal succubus, the ancient forbidden land, the seal is unlocked, the eldest princess Lingqi, Fanli's misunderstanding, the inner demon, the devil's breath...
Everything is connected.
Everything was set up.
If the succubus could seriously injure them, it would be the best outcome for the person who set up the trap.
Fanli and Qi Yuan often go in and out together. When they want to fight, Qi Yuan naturally cannot be next to Fanli, as this will make it more convenient for them to do so.
This is a perfect game.
