Nine Cauldrons came to the private room. Seeing Nine Kites's expression, and knowing that he had lost to Li Tianming, he felt somewhat guilty.
He said, "Li Tianming truly has some tricks up his sleeve. His strength surpassed mine by a hair. I failed to take him down."
"This isn't your fault. It's all because of that damned Li Tianming. He's like an annoying stinkbug—he just won't die, and he's always disgusting people," Nine Kites said coldly.
Suddenly, as if she had remembered something, her brows relaxed. "But it seems he has noticed Li Tianming. Looks like that stinkbug is about to crawl somewhere he has no business being..."
Nine Cauldrons froze slightly. Hearing this, he asked in surprise, "You mean... that person has already noticed this outsider?"
Nine Kites nodded without saying more.
Yet when that person was mentioned, a heroic figure surfaced in Nine Kites's mind. A faint flush unconsciously appeared on even this icy beauty's face, giving her the air of a young maiden nursing springtime feelings.
Her nine-colored hair cascaded smoothly, fine gemstones adorned the corners of her brows, lending her even greater charm. Her eyes seemed to contain a radiant river of stars, while her figure was exquisitely graceful, as perfect as a work of sculpted art.
Resting her chin on the heels of both palms, she said, "If he can be persuaded to act, Li Tianming definitely won't be able to keep acting so arrogantly."
This coy yet faintly mature demeanor of Nine Kites's would likely only ever be revealed before that one person.
Now that he saw her like this, even Nine Cauldrons, her uncle, could not help sighing inwardly, What a ravishing creature. No wonder the Li Imperial Clan took a liking to her.
Naturally, it was only a sigh.
