We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 208 I found him, but he couldn't find me.

Xiao Mo stopped and looked at the woman standing in front of him.

He waved his hand gently and ordered, "Go and fetch a jar of the finest osmanthus wine."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Xun quickly bowed and withdrew.

After Wei Xun left, Xiao Mo stepped forward, walked to the woman's side, and asked, "I wonder what Fairy Jiang is looking at?"

Jiang Qingyi did not look away, but continued to gaze upwards, asking with some curiosity, "What is this watchtower used for?"

"This watchtower isn't really that useful. It's just that when the rulers of the Zhou Kingdom felt bored with handling state affairs, they would come here to climb up and look into the distance to clear their minds," Xiao Mo replied.

Jiang Qingyi nodded slightly, then asked, "Does His Majesty usually come here?"

"No, that won't happen." Xiao Mo smiled and said truthfully, "First of all, I don't have any official business to attend to. Secondly, this watchtower is too high; climbing it would probably be exhausting."

Jiang Qingyi turned her head and looked at Xiao Mo with blinking eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing." Jiang Qingyi shook her head and turned her gaze back to the watchtower.

Xiao Mo then suggested, "Would Fairy Jiang like to go up and take a look?"

"Does Your Majesty not want to go up?" Jiang Qingyi asked.

“It’s no fun going up alone, but it’s a different story if you go with friends,” Xiao Mo said with a smile.

Jiang Qingyi paused for a moment, then agreed, "Okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qingyi grabbed Xiao Mo's wrist, leaped up, and landed lightly on the watchtower.

The two stood side by side atop the watchtower, gazing at the view before them.

A gentle breeze swept by, lightly lifting their clothes and brushing against their cheeks and hair.

Although the wind carried a slight chill, it made people feel even more refreshed.

Standing atop this watchtower, one can take in the entire view of the palace.

Although the Zhou state was only a small country, this palace was built quite magnificently.

This was also the first time Xiao Mo had seen the complete appearance of the palace with his own eyes.

Jiang Qingyi spoke calmly, asking Xiao Mo, "Isn't His Majesty's palace on the other side? How did you end up here?"

Xiao Mo placed his hands lightly on the railing and looked into the distance: "Today, the Empress Dowager invited me to Lingxin Palace to reminisce and try on my wedding attire. I just came out."

"Oh," Jiang Qingyi simply responded softly.

Silence fell between the two of them again.

But Xiao Mo didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Over the years they've spent together, silence between them has become the norm, as this Fairy Jiang is not one for words.

After a short while, Jiang Qingyi suddenly spoke up and asked:
"Is His Majesty's Empress... beautiful?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Mo was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to suddenly ask this.

"She should be considered very beautiful..." Xiao Mo replied, "After all, she is known as the most talented woman in Zhou and the most beautiful woman in Zhou. However, I have never actually seen her in person."

As he spoke, Xiao Mo's tone lowered, and he sighed softly: "Actually, this Miss Yan is a pitiful person. She is talented and beautiful, and perhaps she doesn't want to enter the palace at all, but being born into such a prestigious family, she probably has no choice in the matter."

"hehe."

As soon as Xiao Mo finished speaking, Jiang Qingyi gave a cold laugh.

"What's wrong with Fairy Jiang?" Xiao Mo noticed the change in her tone.

This Fairy Jiang seems to have some reservations about Yan Ruxue.

"It's nothing." Jiang Qingyi turned her head and looked to the other side, her expression revealing a hint of displeasure.

"."

She didn't say anything, and Xiao Mo didn't press her for details.

Having spent time with this fairy Jiang, he had gradually grown accustomed to her occasional mood swings.

As the two continued to gaze quietly at the distant scenery, Wei Xun arrived below the watchtower carrying a jar of osmanthus wine, waving upwards incessantly. "What does he want?" Jiang Qingyi glanced at Wei Xun and asked casually.

"I just instructed him to fetch a jar of the finest osmanthus wine," Xiao Mo explained with a smile.

Jiang Qingyi gently furrowed her brows.

The next moment, she reached out and hooked the wine jar in Wei Xun's hand in mid-air. The jar of osmanthus wine flew up and landed steadily in her palm in the blink of an eye.

She opened the wine seal, turned around, tilted her head back, and drank. The clear wine slid down her fair chin, slightly dampening her clothes.

Jiang Qingyi casually wiped her lips, tossed the wine jar to Xiao Mo, and said simply, "Drink."

Xiao Mo: "..."

"What?" Jiang Qingyi's tone carried a hint of threat. "Is it because I've already drunk it that you're disgusted?"

“That’s not the case.” Xiao Mo smiled and took the wine jar. “Since Fairy Jiang doesn’t care, what else is there for me to say?”

After saying that, he picked up the wine jar and drank it down in one gulp.

As she gazed at Xiao Mo's lips pressed against the spot where she had just drunk, a faint blush rose to the woman's fair cheeks beneath her veil.

Xiao Mo put down the wine jar, wiped his mouth, and exclaimed, "This wine is indeed excellent."

"It's alright," Jiang Qingyi replied softly, leaning gently against the railing.

"By the way, is there something bothering you, Fairy Jiang?" Xiao Mo asked suddenly, looking at her profile.

Jiang Qingyi tilted her head and asked, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Because I often see the fairy lost in thought, as if she has many worries on her mind," Xiao Mo replied gently.

"It's nothing," Jiang Qingyi snatched the osmanthus wine from Xiao Mo's hand, turned her head and took a sip, "I'm just looking for someone."

"one person?"

"Mmm." Jiang Qingyi bent down and put her arms on the railing.

"Is this person very important to Fairy Jiang?"

"unimportant."

"."

Xiao Mo felt that this Fairy Jiang seemed a bit contradictory.

If it's not important, then why are you even looking for it?
"What's with that expression, Your Majesty?" Jiang Qingyi looked at Xiao Mo's speechless gaze and narrowed her eyes.

Xiao Mo shook his head: "No, I was just wondering what Fairy Jiang would do after she found that important yet unimportant person?"

Jiang Qingyi took another sip of wine.

Perhaps because of the drinks, she talked quite a bit today.

"After finding him"

Jiang Qingyi's fair palms gripped the wine jar tightly.

"I want to tell him that I have grown up. I am no longer the little girl I used to be. I have fulfilled my promise and become a capable swordsman."

but.

But you are no longer here.

Hearing her gentle words, Xiao Mo smiled and said, "This person is indeed very important to Fairy Jiang."

“I already said! It’s not important!” Jiang Qingyi said seriously.

“Alright, then it’s not important.” Xiao Mo followed the woman’s words. “However, I believe that Fairy Jiang will definitely be able to find him, and he will definitely be pleased with your current achievements.”

"What good will it do to find him?"

Jiang Qingyi tucked her hair behind her ears, her starry eyes, sharp as swords, seemed to have been swept away by wind and sand for a thousand years.

After a long while, Jiang Qingyi turned her head and looked directly into Xiao Mo's eyes:
"I found him."

But he couldn't find me.
