Chapter 65.1: Qing Ye Li"s Prejudice
Qing Yu had naturally noticed the elder sister she was meeting for the first time and saw that her eyes were filled with nothing but enmity which rather puzzled her, not knowing what kind of grudge she could be holding against her.
Yan Ning Luo restrained the dark glint in her eyes and the ends of her lips curled up into a smile. "I have not come back for quite a number of years and I"m afraid that little sister Qing Yu might not recognize your elder sister anymore do you? A girl really changes drastically as she grows up. I remember that you were so skinny and small before and you have now grown to become so beautiful and enchanting."
Those words clearly had a hidden meaning behind them but one just could not find any fault in them.
But people who had clear eyes would be able to see that those words would seem to be directed straight against Qing Yu.
Qing Ye Li"s gaze flashed and seemed like he wanted to say something but he was stopped by the young lady right beside him. He had always looked up to her and he would not allow anyone to show her the slightest disrespect.
Although Yan Ning Luo"s words were said to Qing Y, but her gaze was always indistinctly drifting over to rest upon Qing Ye Li. And Qing Yu was smart enough as adding her two lives together she would have lived for several decades already, so how could she possibly not be able to see what the gaze in Yan Ning Luo"s eyes really meant.
With that thought in mind, Qing Yu tilted her head slightly to cast a deep and knowing glance at the man beside her. Qing Ye Li was completely bewildered by the kind of gaze she was giving him, his eyes seemingly confused.
Because Qing Ye Li"s countenance could not be casually revealed after his transformation, he had put his mask back on before everyone walked over to them. Only his luscious green eyes could be seen to be filled with bewilderment like he did not understand why she was looking at him like this.
Qing Yu did not explain anything to him but just smiled as she looked at Yan Ning Luo. "Thank you Elder Sister for the compliment, but compared to the Green Wave Kingdom"s greatest beauty, I am still a long way behind."
That response was humble and subdued but the young lady"s flawless and alluring beautiful countenance spoke for itself which was just impossible to overlook.
To be fair, Yan Ning Luo was a beauty and there was no doubt about that. Her beauty was more of a kind of stunning beauty upon seeing her, and seeing her from a distance made her look like an unreachable Snow Lotus high upon an unscalable mountain, giving off a feeling that people were not able to get close to. As for Qing Yu, she was like a beautiful and alluring bloom of poppy, mesmerizing people who saw it and unable to extricate themselves even though they knew it was poison but just could not help wanting to get close to it.
With that comparison, the winner was clear.
So how was she anything like the timid and weak person that Yan Ning Luo had said she was before? Even her manner of speech and choice of words were highly adept and intelligent.
Hence, it could be seen that the gaze of Yan Ning Luo"s eyes then became rather complicated.
[This Yan Qing Yu seems like a completely changed person. It was clearly still the same face she is seeing but is no longer shy and hesitant, but confident and flamboyant.]
[Was she really that steady and confident now?]
Yan Ning Luo"s fingers clenched up tightly into fists within her sleeves but her smile remained the same. "Let"s not stand here to talk any longer. Otherwise when Father comes back, he will complain that I am not being a good host." Her voice paused for a moment before she said: "Little Sis Qing Yu should come join us in the main hall for a meal as well!"
She was afterall still a n.o.ble princess and was able to win the Sect Chief"s eye in the Faint Mist Sect where there were countless highly skilled pugilists. Hence, Yan Ning Luo"s level of composure and grace was not to be underestimated. Even when her heart was wrecked by upheaval and turmoil, she was still able to hide it all without showing any signs.
And towards Yan Ning Luo"s invitation, Qing Yu merely smiled politely and then replied: "I won"t be able to. I had originally intended to go out but now….. Since everything has been settled, and Little Bei"s mobility is rather restricted, I need to go back to look after him."
At such a moment, Qing Bei was undoubtedly a very good excuse to use.
Hearing that, Qing Ye Li glanced at the young lady at his side and upon receiving a meaningful look from each other that only the two of them understood, he then just watched her walk far away, unable to recover his senses for a long time.
