Chapter 273: Diary Exposed
Chapter 273: The Diary Revealed
"It's you—"
Ye Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Lian Nishang. He hadn't expected to run into her in the Great Song Kingdom; it was beyond belief.
"Ye Xiu, I finally found you," Lian Nishang said with a beaming smile upon seeing Ye Xiu.
"Wait, you knew I was Ye Xiu?" Ye Xiu couldn't help but glance at Ji Yaohua, who was standing next to Lian Nishang.
Ji Yaohua shook her head. "It wasn't me who told her who you were, Master. She knew who you were and came looking for me!"
Ji Yaohua didn't seem to be lying, and Ye Xiu couldn't help but look at Lian Nishang. "How did you know who I am?"
"I can't say it. I can't." Lian Nishang shook her head. "Can't say it
? Can't say it?" Ye Xiu frowned. At that, a light bulb went off in his head. He thought of Huang Xuemei, whom he had met last month. It seemed Huang Xuemei had said something similar back then.
"Well, I want to, but I can't." Lian Nishang nodded.
"You, know Huang Xuemei?" Ye Xiu asked.
"I know Huang Xuemei, but I don't know her personally, and I've never met her," Lian Nishang said, shaking her head.
"You know her, but you don't know her personally—so, you and Huang Xuemei both learned my whereabouts and identity through the same means?" Ye Xiu's expression grew even more serious.
"That's true. Actually, quite a few people know your whereabouts and identity. I know her. Huang Xuemei knows. Dongfang Bubai knows. Yao
Yue and the others know, too," Lian Nishang said calmly. Before approaching Ye Xiu, Lian Nishang had given it a lot of thought. She even knew that approaching Ye Xiu and gaining his favor wouldn't be easy.
After all, Ye Xiu now had many women around him, and each one was incredibly impressive.
Unlike Dongfang Bubai and the others at the beginning, approaching Ye Xiu wouldn't arouse his suspicion, and could even easily win his favor.
So Lian Nishang pondered how to approach Ye Xiu without arousing suspicion and still gaining his favor.
But in the end, Lian Nishang couldn't come up with a particularly good solution. Instead of overthinking and pondering so many issues, Lian Nishang decided it would be better to just be honest.
The diary had limitations, and some things couldn't be said. That was fine. She could just tell Ye Xiu what she couldn't say. She could say what she could, and if she couldn't, she could honestly say it.
Her key point was to be frank, so she didn't have to think so hard about everything.
Huang Xuemei's approach was a lesson for Lian Nishang.
Huang Xuemei simply said what she wanted to say, and if she couldn't, she would just tell Ye Xiu that she couldn't. But in the end, she still learned about her brother's whereabouts from Ye Xiu.
So, Lian Nishang also prioritized frankness. She felt that since she was so beautiful and so frank, she shouldn't offend Ye Xiu.
Hence the current situation.
Ye Xiu, on the other hand, looked at Lian Nishang in astonishment. He hadn't expected Lian Nishang to say such a thing.
Lian Nishang knew his whereabouts and identity, and then Huang Xuemei also knew, even Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue knew?
Let’s not talk about Lian Nishang and Huang Xuemei. Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, they are still in Huashan in the Ming Dynasty, right? How did they know his information?
"The "they" I am talking about are not just Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue. It should be said that they include Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue. In fact, Murong Qiudi and even your master's wife should also know. Oh, and Zhu Yuyan from the Sui Dynasty..." Lian Nishang reminded again.
After listening to Lian Nishang's words, Ye Xiu realized that something was wrong. Ye Xiu found that something was very wrong.
The figures of these people mentioned by Lian Nishang flashed quickly in Ye Xiu's mind. He was thinking about why so many people knew his whereabouts and even knew that he was hiding in the An Mansion under the identity of An Shigeng.
Even Ye Xiu couldn't help but wonder if Lian Nishang was lying.
But when Ye Xiu looked at Lian Nishang and saw her frank eyes, Ye Xiu felt that the chances of Lian Nishang lying were very small.
Lian Nishang, Huang Xuemei, Dongfang Bubai, Yao Yue, Ning Zhongze, Zhu Yuyan.
Is there anything in common between these people? Are they all women he has slept with? This is obviously not the case, at least Lian Nishang and Huang Xuemei, Ye Xiu has never slept
with them. So what do they have in common? Besides them, are there other people?
"Lian Nishang, besides the people you mentioned, is there anyone else who knows about me?" Ye Xiu couldn't help but ask Lian Nishang.
"I only mentioned a few typical names. Of course there are others, Huang Rong, your junior sister Yue Lingshan, and..." Lian Nishang was really frank, and then she started to call out names.
"Is there some kind of organization among you?" Ye Xiu asked, frowning. He had a terrible feeling. If his whereabouts were so easily traceable, then his intelligence must be seriously compromised. Then why hadn't Pang Ban found him yet? Was he ready to give up?
"Not an organization."
"Not an organization—" A vague thought formed in Ye Xiu's mind. He thought of his external diary.
Of course, Dongfang Bubai, Yao Yue, and the rest of Ye Xiu's women, Ye Xiu had no doubt of their feelings for him. He didn't believe they harbored any ill intentions. He believed they all deeply loved him and would never harm him.
Therefore, the channel through which they knew his whereabouts and information must be extremely secure, and they believed it could be hidden from outsiders.
That's why they allowed it to exist.
However, organizations like the Azure Dragon Society were clearly out of the question. Even such organizations, no matter how well-preserved, could still leak information.
If Ye Xiu hadn't been targeted by Pang Ban, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue might have allowed some risky information channels to exist. But now, Ye Xiu didn't believe Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue would allow a channel that couldn't be kept completely secret.
Unless Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were completely incapable of destroying it.
So Ye Xiu could only think of his cheat.
Ye Xiu thought, perhaps, this diary was just a diary for him, a cheat that could increase his strength.
But perhaps, this diary wasn't just a cheat for him alone.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiu looked at Lian Nishang: "The reason you know my whereabouts is because—"
Ye Xiu wanted to talk about the diary, but he found that he couldn't bring himself to share it.
Ye Xiu had never considered telling anyone about the diary before.
After all, in Ye Xiu's view, the diary was just a cheat for him, a cheat that could bring him immense benefits, one of his ultimate secrets, so he had never considered sharing the diary.
But now, when he tried to speak out, he discovered he couldn't even share the diary with anyone.
"Can't tell?" Ye Xiu paused, then thought back to Huang Xuemei's previous words of 'can't tell,' and Lian Nishang's previous words.
Was this 'can't tell' the same as his current situation, where he couldn't even mention the diary?
This thought suddenly made Ye Xiu wonder if the diary was the real reason Lian Nishang and the others had found him.
As Ye Xiu pondered the diary, Lian Nishang's beautiful, bright eyes stared at him unblinkingly. Then, with a frown on her face, she stepped forward and grabbed Ye Xiu's face.
"Huh? What are you doing?" Lian Nishang's gesture startled Ye Xiu awake.
"I don't like your current face. I prefer your old one," Lian Nishang said, stubbornly insisting on revealing Ye Xiu's face as An Shigeng.
Ye Xiu was speechless, but since Lian Nishang wanted to reveal her new face, then he'd let her do it.
After all, Ye Xiu also liked his original face, after all, his original appearance was the real good-looking one.
When Ye Xiu removed An Shigeng's face and revealed his real face, the face that was hailed as the most handsome man in the Ming Dynasty.
After seeing this face, Lian Nishang's eyes showed joy, she still liked Ye Xiu's handsome face.
"Ye Xiu, to be honest, before I saw you, I thought you already had several women, so I didn't intend to care about you, I just wanted to see what the man liked by Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue looked like. But after seeing you, I fell in love with your face, so I wanted to take you back to be my prime minister. It's a pity that I failed because of the interference of the Tianshan Child-Father." Lian Nishang said her original thoughts without any concealment.
Ye Xiu couldn't help but chuckle when he heard that: "Thank you for the compliment."
"It's not a compliment, but you are really good-looking. You know? I originally thought that if I really fell in love with a man one day, I would never fall in love with a man who had other women. The man I want must be loyal, only like me, and can only belong to me. He can't have any relationship with other women." "
But after meeting you, I suddenly felt that my conditions might be relaxed a little. Previous experiences are not important. As long as the man belongs to me forever, it is enough." "
I even thought that after I snatched you away, if Dongfang Bubai and the others came to chase you, I would find a way to get rid of them. After all, the man I, Yu Luosha, like can only be my man."
"It's a pity that, let alone Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, even Tianshan Tonglao can snatch you away from me. At that moment, I even thought about giving up."
"The thought of giving up was just a fleeting one. Who am I, Lian Nishang? I'm known as the Jade Rakshasa. How could I possibly give up for such a reason?"
Lian Nishang said with pride.
Ye Xiu, however, was a bit amused.
"It's just that Dongfang Bubai and the others are getting stronger and stronger. If I don't work hard, they'll leave me far behind. Since I can't have you be mine alone, I must become the strongest of them all." Lian Nishang said domineeringly, hooking Ye Xiu's chin.
“…”
…
“Lian Nishang came, she found me, and even brought me very shocking news. In short, I was very shocked, stunned, and almost scared.”
“She said that not only she knew my whereabouts, but other people knew it too, such as Huang Xuemei, Dongfang, Yaoyue, Master’s wife, and so on. These are those who are related to me, and those who are not. Finally, I got a not-so-certain list from Lian Nishang. I am very familiar with the names on the list—at least, I have mentioned these names in my diary.” “
So, can you also see my diary?”
“Did you discover my identity and whereabouts through my diary?”
“Huang Xuemei once said that she might not tell you the channel through which she could find out my whereabouts, and Lian Nishang also said that she could not tell you. And when I wanted to mention the diary, I couldn’t even say it. So, you can probably see the diary I wrote, right?”
"Think carefully. No wonder Master's wife's attitude towards me changed when I first got the diary. After I mentioned that there was the Five Mountains Sword Technique in Huashan's Cliff of Repentance, Master's wife sent me to seclusion in the morning the next day. And then there was Junior Sister. She suddenly ignored Senior Brother Linghu Chong for no apparent reason, and started to hang around me instead. And Huang Rong, Dongfang and the others also started to appear around me for no apparent reason."
"At that time, I thought it was just because I was handsome that they coveted my beauty."
"I didn't expect that this might be related to my diary?"
"But this still needs to be verified. After all, Lian Nishang didn't say the word diary."
"How about this, tomorrow, after we meet tomorrow. If you, Lian Nishang, see the diary I wrote today, after we meet tomorrow, don't say anything, just give me a kiss for at least three minutes--" "
Uh, it seems a bit bad. After all, the relationship between Lian Nishang and I doesn't seem to have reached that point yet."
"Ruyan, or Ji Yaohua. If Lian Nishang can see the diary I wrote, then you two should be able to see it as well. Then it's up to you. Ruyan and Ji Yaohua, you two line up and kiss me actively. Kiss me as soon as we meet tomorrow."
"Ruyan will be the first, with a three-minute passionate kiss, and then Ji Yaohua, also with a three-minute passionate kiss."
"As for the length of three minutes, this time unit seems to be a bit problematic. Anyway, just kiss, kiss me actively, and don't stop until you run out of breath. Ruyan first, then Ji Yaohua."
"If you can see this diary, you just do what I wrote in the diary."
"But then again. If other people can really see my diary, then a lot of things can be explained."
"Huang Xuemei read my diary, so she was able to find me, and Zhu Yuyan. When I was in the Sui Dynasty, Zhu Yuyan suddenly wanted to find me. If it was because of the diary, then I really misunderstood her."
"Maybe she wanted to find me after seeing what I wrote in the diary, but I misunderstood that she had defected to Pang Ban and was trying to catch me for Pang Ban."
"At that time, I tried my best to avoid her, and even thought it was because of Wanwan who leaked the information."
"Thinking about it now, it seems a bit funny."
"Tsk, never mind, let's wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow. Everything depends on the action tomorrow."
After Ye Xiu finished writing the diary, he actually felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart. He wanted to see if other people could see the diary he wrote.
Because of this idea in his mind, Ye Xiu was even a little absent-minded about receiving the reward given by the diary.
Just when Ye Xiu received the reward and was about to go to bed, and then wait for Ji Yaohua and Ruyan's action tomorrow, the door was pushed open from the outside with a bang.
Lian Nishang walked in.
"You-"
"Why wait until tomorrow? And why can't it be me?" Lian Nishang said, and under Ye Xiu's somewhat surprised gaze, she pinched Ye Xiu's chin and kissed him fiercely.
Lian Nishang obviously didn't know how to kiss, she just simply and roughly put her lips on him.
It was not until Ye Xiu came to his senses and took the initiative to guide Lian Nishang that Lian Nishang finally understood what kissing was.
After reading Ye Xiu's diary today, the others couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Ruyan and Ji Yaohua were not to be mentioned, they were thinking that when they saw Ye Xiu tomorrow, they would take the initiative to give him a passionate kiss. For this reason, they even planned not to go to Ye Xiu's room tonight.
As for Wuqing, she had originally thought of getting close to Ye Xiu through Ji Yaohua, but now she found that the owner of the diary was not only her, which made her a little uneasy. She even hesitated to go to Ye Xiu.
Dongfang Bubai, Yao Yue, Lian Xing, Huang Rong, Ning Zhongze, Yue Lingshan, Wan Wan, Shi Feixuan... Zhu Yuyan, Shi Qingxuan and even Tianshan Tonglao and others, after seeing Ye Xiu's diary today, their expressions could not help but change.
They were not sure whether Lian Nishang's approach was right or wrong.
But Ye Xiu now seemed to have realized the secret that the diary was being viewed by so many of them, and no one knew what would happen to the diary in the future.
Everyone had different thoughts and could not help but think about what to do in the future.
There were even some people who had simply thought that they were the only holders of the diary, but only then discovered that the diary was not owned by them alone, and that there were so many people who owned the diary like themselves.
In short, today's diary made many people uneasy and unable to sleep.
