Chapter 2165: The Past Life 90

Qing Zhu could not understand what was so special about the portrait, but before it could ask more, the Ninth Emperor had already left the cellar.

She stood in the courtyard, and before she had time to go back and study the portrait, a familiar figure had appeared before her.

The Ninth Emperor frowned, annoyed. Flames burned at the bottom of her heart, and her gaze was cold.

“What are you doing here again? I have set up quite a few formations in this courtyard, so how did you get here?”

Di Ming smiled.

“Have you forgotten? Most of the formations are ones we have studied together…”

The Ninth Emperor was stunned.

‘Oh, I have forgotten that…’

Her gaze was filled with bewilderment as she hesitated for a moment. “Oh, I don’t remember a lot of things… That formation, or the people…”

Di Ming looked at the girl in front of him sadly.

“Little Nine, why are you so heartless? Back then, it was you who left without saying goodbye, so why did you become heartless now?”

He had waited and searched for her for many years.

But now… She was treating him with such rudeness…

Di Ming’s heart was like being fiercely hammered with a pang of pain that was a little unbearable.

The Ninth Emperor then said expressionless, “Back then, I was young, and I did not understand anything. There was nothing between us. Moreover, Changfeng and I are now living quite well together. You do not have to come to disturb us.”

He understood what the Ninth Emperor’s meant.

And she could read the sentiment in his eyes.

Whether or not her mother’s disappearance back then had anything to do with him, there was no possibility between her and Di Ming. She had never liked him, and back then, he was only a childhood friend. There would not be more feelings than that.

So, since she did not like him, she would not leave him with any hope.

It was better to be heartless.

At least…

The pain he felt now was only temporary, and sooner he would feel better.

Di Ming was stunned. His gaze were fixed upon the Ninth Emperor, and abruptly, he laughed out loud. “Little Nine, you need to stop lying to me. You can’t possibly like that guy. After all… He looks too weak.”

‘Weak?’

The Ninth Emperor frowned.

This bastard said Nan Changfeng was weak?

“Whether he is weak or not, I like him more than I do you. Furthermore, how do you know he is weak? Changfeng is not only strong but even energetic in bed.”

These words were like a sword that pierced Di Ming’s heart fiercely.

He took a deep breath, but his heart was trembling uncontrollably. How could he control it after he heard those words?

The pain was like ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, and he couldn’t even breathe normally.

“Little Nine! You don’t have to lie to me. No matter what you say, I won’t believe it. I’ve waited for you for so many years. You can’t be this heartless!”

Di Ming barely smiled.

Just then, Nan Changfeng came over with his coat and draped it over the Ninth Emperor.

He glanced at Di Ming and turned to the Ninth Emperor again.

His gaze was as warm as the sunlight.

“He is here to see you again?”

“Mhm.” The Ninth Emperor nodded slightly. She stretched her body tiredly and smiled. “Uninvited.”

‘Uninvited…

‘Hehe…’

Di Ming smiled bitterly.

Now, he had become an uninvited guest…
