He saw the maid stepped forward, bowed to the little girl, smiled sweetly, and greeted her.
Originally, he thought that even if the little girl didn't pay attention to him, she should be silent. But he didn't expect that although she was silent, her pair of cute black eyes flashed with a fierce and frightening light. The maid obviously couldn't withstand such a gaze, subconsciously stepped back, and then quickly left without looking back.
Seeing this scene, Ying Bu's eyes swept toward the direction of Li's hiding place.
Li narrowed his eyes, and the evil cultivator's voice sounded in his mind.
"There seems to be something strange about this girl."
"What do you mean?" Li felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
The evil cultivator's voice in his mind was silent for a moment, and then sounded again.
"You go forward, when I tell you to stop, stop."
Li's eyes flashed, perhaps, he and the evil cultivator had the same thought.
Li no longer hesitated, and stepped toward the little girl. When he was about five feet away from the little girl, the evil cultivator stopped him.
"Sure enough, this distance will make — —"
The evil cultivator's voice abruptly stopped in his mind. Li's pupils shrank, looking at the little girl who saw him trotting toward him. The evil cultivator's unfinished words didn't need to be said anymore.
At this moment, seeing the cute expression on the little girl's face, Li couldn't simply feel a sense of familiarity like the first time. Or, the feeling of familiarity at this moment could only make him feel apprehensive.
Was it possible that this little girl was born with the talent to confuse people's hearts?
But he also encountered a similar talent on Hu Ji, but, Hu Ji's ability could only admit defeat when facing his Heavenly Charm Technique.
But in front of this little girl, his Heavenly Charm Technique seemed to have never appeared, and unexpectedly had no effect. And even if he was on guard, he still couldn't suppress the sense of familiarity from the bottom of his heart.
This was very frightening.
Li suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart, and reluctantly showed a smile to Ying Bu.
"How is it?
You saw it too. She does treat you differently. "Ying Bu walked up to him and lowered his voice.
"There are some things, if you want, we can talk about it in private."
Originally, if there was no scene just now, Li might have directly refused. After all, it was too absurd for him to treat.
However, the scene from before had caused him to feel a lingering fear. If he allowed such a person who could affect his mind to remain outside, and even if he didn't figure out the reason, it would undoubtedly become a thorn in his heart.
After thinking about it, Li still couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart and nodded to Ying Bu.
"Come with me."
The three of them once again returned to Li's room, but this time Li's mood was very different from before.
As soon as the two of them sat down, a servant girl's voice sounded at the door.
In broad daylight, although the two of them had a private conversation, because of their superb martial arts, they were not afraid of being eavesdropped. Therefore, the door was not closed.
This made Li, who was sitting facing the door, look up and see the maid who came in. He narrowed his eyes. Relying on his superb memory, Li remembered that this was the head maid who often served Tian Mi.
The moment Ying Bu's voice sounded, he also looked at the door. Naturally, he also saw the person who came in. He waved his hand, and like a tiger, his eyes swept towards the person.
Under such a gaze, the head maid didn't dare to raise her head, and only whispered her purpose.
"Hall Master sent me to see. I heard that General Ying found a little girl in young hero Li's room. Do you have any orders?"
Ying Bu's eyebrows didn't move, and said in a low voice: "I just came to thank young hero Li. Tell Hall Master, Ying Bu will not make trouble."
"Yes." The maid came and went in a hurry, and soon left.
With such an episode, the way Li looked at Ying Bu began to change.
Ying Bu's words just now seemed to mean that he wanted to question him about this matter. Although the maid said so, but she was a smart person.
Tian Mi came to see what orders were fake, and to see what they were secretly meeting about.
If today his door was closed, or if there was a slight flicker in the expression between the two people, it would certainly be reported to Tian Mi, leading to new problems.
However, it was understandable that Li didn't want Tian Mi to have doubts, but why Ying Bu?
It seemed that Tian Mi still trusted and loved Ying Bu very much.
Moreover, as a person in power, Li certainly knew the importance of a hero like Ying Bu to him.
That being the case, why did Tian Mi so easily suspect Ying Bu?
Or, this suspicion was not directed at Ying Bu, but at him?
Li Xin had a myriad of thoughts in his mind. Ying Bu looked up at him and noticed that he did not look too good, so he naturally understood what Li was thinking. He sighed faintly and said, "She's suspecting me, or in other words, the connection between us is entirely on her."
Ying Bu's eyes swept to the little girl who was clinging to Li. Li looked down at the little girl, and was surprised. He stared at Ying Bu, not knowing what was going on.
"You're making me more and more confused."
This Tian Mi didn't look like a child, and this girl was not Ying Bu's child. How could the connection be on her?
Huh?
No, Li suddenly thought of the real reason why Ying Bu came to him.
"Don't tell me — — before, you helped the little girl through the weak period by relying on Tian Mi?" Li looked at Ying Bu's expression and knew that he had hit the nail on the head.
Indeed, although such a statement sounded a bit absurd and unruly at first, it was indeed reasonable after thinking about it carefully. The importance of the little girl to Ying Bu was self-evident. If Tian Mi wanted to control Ying Bu, as long as she knew how to treat the little girl, she would have complete control over Ying Bu.
But this kind of control could be said to be firm, but it could also be said to be fragile.
Li was almost certain that if there was no little girl in the middle of this meeting, Tian Mi would not send a maid to investigate. Otherwise, with her wisdom, she would never easily suspect such a capable person like Ying Bu.
