Only after arriving in Yunze City had Xiao Yun heard the details of the demon-slaying in Dream Marsh from so many people.
Tonight, she had also seen Zhou Wuji and Xie Lingyun interacting intimately, and inferred that their relationship was now very close.
Reaching that conclusion was not difficult. What was difficult was learning the specifics.
This evening's banquet was solid evidence.
Once Peach Blossom and Pear Blossom returned, she would compile separate records on Xie Lingyun and Zhou Wuji, noting their looks, builds, personalities, and so on...
Written records might not prove useful, but at a critical moment, they could give her superiors something to refer to.
Xie Lingyun, in particular, was the future successor to the Fire Phoenix Army, making him extremely important.
Inside the private room, Xie Lingyun had drunk some wine. With the ravishing Peach Blossom in his arms, his words and actions gradually grew more unrestrained.
Fortunately, Xie Lingyun came from an aristocratic clan. However unrestrained he became, he would not strip naked and consummate things on the spot.
He merely teased her a little, though he refused to let go of Peach Blossom's fair hand.
After some wine, Zhou Wuji relaxed as well. With beautiful women beside him, freely laughing, chatting, and drinking, he felt this was indeed one of life's pleasures.
Tapping the wine jug with his chopsticks, he sang, "Sing high when you gain, let go when you lose; too much sorrow and resentment pass idly all the same. If there is wine today, get drunk today; when tomorrow's troubles come, let tomorrow worry..."
Peach Blossom and Pear Blossom had spent years singing and playing the zither, and had a fair ability to appreciate poetry.
Though these four lines were simple, they carried a carefree ease that accepted life as it came.
