The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 434 - 433: I Dare You to Never Admit It for the Rest of Your Life

Chapter 434: Chapter 433: I Dare You to Never Admit It for the Rest of Your Life
"Of course, I want to. How could I not? I think about it day and night, I constantly think about it..." Qi Xiao’s voice rose noticeably when he talked about this, filled with anticipation and joy.
"Since that’s the case, go back and do what you need to do." Ye Ying said sternly, "The wind has picked up. And it’s quite a strong wind. Whether you can make the wind stop depends on this upcoming battle. I ask you to give it your all, sir."
"You don’t need to remind me; I would put in my full effort." Qi Xiao warned, "I came here just to tell you that from the moment I was born, everything was already destined. Ah Ning, she is mine, mine alone, no one can touch her..."
Ye Ying remained silent, swallowing a breath, his fist tightly clenching inside his sleeve.
Qi Xiao continued, "Even if she trusts you deeply, what of it? Between you and her, there is always a deep chasm. I am her ultimate destination."
"Hmm..." Ye Ying responded softly, "I understand. Anything else?"
The calmer it is, the more suspicious it feels.
Qi Xiao wasn’t satisfied with Ye Ying’s reaction, so much wanting Ye Ying to get angry with him or confront him directly, but Ye Ying just wouldn’t act as he expected.
After bringing the conversation to this point, for Ye Ying to remain composed is quite something.
"You don’t even dare to admit your feelings, acting as if impervious to anything. What more is there to say..." Qi Xiao sneered, "I’m leaving, you just keep living with your unspoken affections then."
"Not admitting it now is nothing. A lifetime of silence, not acknowledging love is truly your skill."
"If you have guts, stay silent for a lifetime."
"I’ll be watching."
Qi Xiao arrived quickly and left swiftly.
Watching him leave, Ye Ying exhaustedly dropped into the Taishi Chair, removed his shoes, and glanced at the injury on his foot.
The wound is wet, slightly festering, and yesterday’s medicine was practically wasted.
He called for a servant to help change the dressing on his foot while he continued working on his tasks. The personnel from Qianji Pavilion were all dispatched, and his confidants had arrived as well.
How to utilize their strengths to the fullest extent in this battle, no one knows it better than him.
He needed to adjust the personnel properly next, to help Jun Ning win this battle.
Just the words Qi Xiao suddenly followed up with earlier seemed to show no effect on him, as if he didn’t care at all. But whether he cared or not, Ye Ying knew best.
Alongside the servant who came with the military physician was Qianji Pavilion’s current commander, Li Wei.
Seeing Ye Ying alive and back by the Pavilion Master’s side, Li Wei was overwhelmed with excitement, kneeling at Ye Ying’s feet, "Master, waiting for you all these years has been truly tough."
Ye Ying smiled lightly, "Stand up!"
Li Wei stood up and moved to Ye Ying’s front, allowing the military physician to help re-bandage Ye Ying’s wound.
Li Wei, seeing Ye Ying’s deep and severe injury, felt discomfort but knew Ye Ying’s character well. Ye Ying disliked pity from others and wouldn’t be defeated by a mere injury.
He refrained from saying anything, only discussing serious matters with Ye Ying.
The two of them discussed the current personnel dispatch of Qianji Pavilion and formed a preliminary conclusion. Ye Ying was preparing to go find Jun Ning to discuss further when Li Wei stopped him and asked, "Master, I heard you got married? And even have a child?"
"..." Ye Ying tightened his grip on the letter in his hand, took a moment, then said, "Those were wild things of the past. Since they’re over, there’s no need to mention them."
Wild things of the past?
Li Wei keenly detected something fishy from this.
The master completely disregarded those matters, it seems he never invested his heart!
It appears that this marriage and the so-called child were not things he willingly wanted, hence his evasion and unwillingness to discuss them.
Li Wei clapped his hands together, "I understand, I won’t bring it up again in the future."
"Alright, let’s go see Ah Ning about serious business!"
...
When Ye Ying and Li Wei went to talk to Jun Ning about serious business, Jun Ning had just finished discussing troop movements and formations with a few generals. There was still one unresolved issue, and she was pondering it.
Qi Xiao was inexplicably there too, like a dutiful little wife, following by her side, saying he wanted to help her think things over, solve problems.
As Ye Ying and Li Wei approached, they saw Qi Xiao sitting beside Jun Ning, helping her grind ink.
Ye Ying’s steps instantly slowed, his expression betraying a hint of unease, hesitation... But these emotions vanished in an instant, and when Jun Ning looked at him, he appeared normal again.
"Ah Ning, I have something to discuss with you."
Jun Ning said with slight exasperation, "Didn’t I ask you to rest? Why aren’t you resting? You’ve come here again?"
"I’m not tired." Ye Ying moved in front of Jun Ning, with Li Wei supporting his seat, not shying away from the little wife-like Qi Xiao, he directly said, "Ah Ning, the people we’ve brought from Qianji Pavilion are all exceptionally skilled in martial arts. I suggest letting them lead the front line, specially targeting the enemy generals."
"I’ve considered that, but it’s too risky," Jun Ning replied, "Bei Xia’s people are skilled in archery. Even if our person could kill five of theirs, they wouldn’t withstand a barrage of dense arrows like rain!"
"No one wants to be turned into a sieve."
"This can be resolved by combining formations with shields..." Ye Ying said, "Ah Ning, don’t be afraid of their archers. Over the years, I’ve been in Bei Xia long enough to know their archers. While individually impressive, even as teams they’re okay, they are not good at dealing with formations."
"Hmm?" Jun Ning became interested, handing the wolf-hair brush in her hand to Ye Ying, "Draw it out for me to see."
