Ye Xiyue sat down at the table and leaned on the back of the chair.
"This top genius of the Baili clan doesn't seem to react very quickly."
She stared at her for a while before he realized something was wrong.
When Emperor Shitian heard this, he glanced at her and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ye Xiyue blinked: "What's wrong?"
Emperor Shitian's thin lips curved: "A dual-cultivation genius is only one step away from being a spiritual master and a sixth-grade alchemist. Such a person... logically speaking, his acuity would not be so low."
Ye Xiyue was about to nod, but felt that there was something wrong with what he said: "...What do you mean?"
Emperor Shitian paused, raised his eyelashes slightly, met her gaze, and asked:
"Xi'er, haven't you ever thought that maybe it's not that he's not sharp enough, but that you... are hiding it too well?"
"What?"
Ye Xiyue was stunned for a moment, pointing to her nose,
"Me? No. I was just standing there..."
"In the first moment, you didn't want them to notice you, but you didn't stop being vigilant until the end, right?"
"..."
Ye Xiyue's lips moved slightly. She wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that what he said seemed to be true.
When she saw Baili Qinglin and the two coming, her first thought was to see what they were doing here.
Later, I heard that they were almost chatting...
She suddenly realized something and opened her eyes slightly: "You mean, I deliberately hid my aura unconsciously? But I didn't feel it just now..."
"It's not you."
Emperor Shitian picked up the tea cup, his knuckled fingers were as white as jade, and his voice was low and sweet,
"That's the problem here."
Ye Xiyue didn't understand what he meant for a while.
Emperor Shitian took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup and met her eyes.
"Xi'er, don't you feel that the energy of heaven and earth here seems to be... secretly following your heart?"
Ye Xiyue's eyebrows skipped a beat.
But she was so smart. She understood it immediately after being prompted by Emperor Shitian.
What he meant was that just now she didn't want to expose herself, so everything around her moved according to her heart, covering her aura intentionally or unintentionally, so that Baili Qinglin and the others didn't notice her gaze at the first time.
Later, it wasn't until she relaxed her mind that they...
but--
"How is this possible?"
Ye Xiyue's first reaction was that she thought it was ridiculous,
"This is the territory of the Baili clan."
Emperor Shitian raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Did Xi'er forget that she also has half of the blood of the Baili clan in her body?"
Ye Xiyue: "..."
"Moreover," Emperor Shitian paused briefly, as if he was considering how to speak more appropriately, "When you come, you will be on the Shenjiang River. The ups and downs of the wind and waves are all decided by you, aren't you?"
…
Halfway up the mountain, there is the Baili clan elders' hall.
After Baili Feiyang settled the people of the Yao Clan, he went up the mountain and came to the Elder Hall.
This is an important place for the Baili clan, and only the clan leaders and elders can come and go freely, so there are very few people and the surroundings are very clean.
Several elders are gathering in the front hall to discuss tomorrow's clan meeting.
However, Baili Feiyang has always been a little absent-minded, and some pictures flashed through his mind from time to time.
"Feiyang?"
Great Elder Baili Songquan called him twice before he suddenly came back to his senses: "Great Elder?"
Baili Songquan asked: "You are so distracted, but what happened?"
