They said things like, "Sister Bronya, look, Aunt Xianyun and Sister Shenhe get along very well, don't they?"
It really will explode; Bronya knows very well that Seele talks nonsense when her mind is in a mess.
After all, Seele isn't as good at "brain cooling" as she is.
"I... I've figured it out."
"Huh? You've really figured it out? Is it because of Aunt Xianyun and Sister Shenhe?"
"..."
See, even when this guy isn't confused, he can still blurt out some really bold things.
Bronya let out a long sigh.
but……
……Own.
actually……
A sense of secret delight?
There's a sense of smug satisfaction in shifting blame, like, "Look, this is what others said, I just followed their advice."
No, I need to calm down...
-
"Brother Liu Bai~!"
"Huh? Seele? What are you doing here? How is your sister Bronya doing?"
"Hmm... Sister Bronya must have figured it out on her own, after all, there are precedents like Aunt Xianyun and Sister Shenhe."
Seele thought for a moment and answered honestly.
"That means Bronya agrees to you and Aunt Alexandra being together!"
"..."
What happened?
Liu Bai's questioning gaze shifted to Cocolia.
Although this wasn't the outcome he wanted, it was enough that Bronya had figured things out.
Liu Bai just felt that Xi'er sometimes idealized things.
"Although there may be some discrepancies, that's the general idea. When we arrived, Bronya had already figured it out, and her tone sounded normal."
Cocolia's expression was actually a little strange.
She actually had some intention of learning from this experience—after all, this was a bit like looking in a mirror for her.
She wanted to understand her "daughter's" thoughts through this incident so that she could explain things to her own daughter when she came.
However… she was quite surprised that Bronya could figure it out so quickly.
"However, you shouldn't try to explain these discrepancies. If you do, it might just make things more confusing."
"I think so too."
Liu Bai felt that if he tried to explain that he had no ulterior motives towards Alexandra, Bronya, who had already come to her senses, might take it as disdain.
Let's not discuss whether it's more infuriating to talk about "grass Nima" or "not caring about grass Nima".
...Not to mention, if Alexandra herself has no objection, he has no objection either.
The words might sound a bit flippant to outsiders, but Liu Bai really could carry an Alexandra on his shoulders.
...Unconsciously, Liu Bai had also gotten used to the feeling of shouldering other people's lives.
"By the way, Lord Liu Bai, if you have some free time later... would you like to have a drink with me?"
As Liu Bai sighed inwardly, Cocolia extended an invitation to him with an air of composure.
...Oh, this is also the main character from earlier.

"Today's report is here."
That evening, Rita came to report to Liu Bai on the progress of the collection of the Love Elixir, then naturally walked into Liu Bai's arms, and then slipped and fell to the ground.
"You must be tired from work today. Please let Rita give you a massage."
"..."
It sounds like a scalp massage.
Liu Bai glanced at Rita's flirtatious eyes and silently pulled his chair closer.
"Mr. Liu Bai, cheer up!"
Such gentle encouragement, but... well, it's not that the encouragement was inappropriate.
Absolutely right!
"Mr. Liu Bai, do you have any spirits? Rita, you should feel it for yourself."
"Well--!"
……
"Speaking of which, what's wrong with Miss Qingque these days? I always see her spacing out when I enter the office."
After the most intense moment passed and the two entered into an old married couple mode, Rita, while doing useless cleaning work under the table, asked about serious matters.
"Her? At first, she was just having a mental lapse, but now she's probably using mental lapses to avoid work—I think she really needs a birdcage."
Liu Bai had taken Fei Xiao's recommendation as a joke to tease Qing Que, since even though he was thick-skinned, he didn't want a historian following him around.
Well, if it's just following a bluebird, it's not a big problem, but following a historian is a big problem.
Being remembered or talked about isn't scary—anyway, Liu Bai wouldn't have accepted so many girls if he wasn't prepared.
But the problem is... this matter will be passed down to future generations, especially... well, if Qingque remembers something not so good, then the problem will be even bigger.
Although there are other ways to cure this... it doesn't sound good to talk about bullying historians.
Let me put it this way: either don't do this kind of history at all, or do it seriously, otherwise don't blame everyone for spreading this nonsense.
So Liu Bai didn't actually intend to implement Fei Xiao's recommendation. Anyway, if Liu Bai wanted to say it, it would be good for Qing Que to follow Fei Xiao to succeed as general. Why bother with the historian?
It would be even more fun if I became a general before Fu Xuan.
But now Qingque has gotten a bit arrogant and is acting like a scoundrel, openly slacking off.
...And then there's the jade. I don't know what this person was thinking, but contrary to his usual behavior, he didn't try to exploit Qingque.
However, since Jade is one of the mainstays, Liu Bai couldn't say whether Jade's actions had any deeper meaning. Therefore, Liu Bai had to promote Qingque—not to the position of historian, but to the position of pet.
“Birdcages… Miss Kaffa is very good at making them.”
Rita teased Liu Bai playfully, and then, with a shove from Liu Bai, the maid's cleaning efforts vanished instantly.
The hardworking maid coughed twice in exasperation and could only continue cleaning.
"Speaking of which, when Himeko and I were discussing serious matters today, we talked about your Schicksal... that is, Bianca and Ragnar."
"Lord Bianca and Lord Ragnar?"
Rita's movements slowed down slightly.
"correct."
Liu Bai briefly explained to Rita the two coping strategies he had prepared.
“...Indeed, if Lady Bianca were to go all out, there might not be anyone on the entire flank who could withstand her head-on.”
Rita nodded. Clearly, Rita's evaluation was higher than Liu Bai's.
"So, once it escalates into a conflict, you have to resort to some underhanded tactics? Love potion... honestly, aren't you still trying to seduce girls?"
Rita gave Liu Bai a coquettish glare, but did not object.
"Do you want some kind of laxative?"
Upon hearing this, Rita immediately used the emperor as a bargaining chip to express her stance.
But it was just a joke, and Rita quickly changed the subject.
"Hmm... So if that's the case, then I'll have to act a little more depraved in front of Lady Bianca?"
"Karen and I played this game once, you can ask her for advice..."
Before Liu Bai could finish speaking, Rita crawled up from under the table.
A succubus-like smile appeared on her face.
Whom do you look down on?

Chapter 498 A silly goose, but wise beyond his years.
"The location of the unidentified object has been pinpointed. Amber, go and call Durandal and Ragnar over."
In the Destiny server room, Otto nodded to Void Repository, who had unplugged numerous data cables, and then turned to Amber beside him and gave her instructions.
"Yes, Lord Bishop."
Amber nodded slightly and left the computer room.
Otto then turned his gaze back to the Void Treasury.
"Besides the specific location and approximate energy level, what else did you discover?"
"No."
Void Treasury shook its head with a blank expression, "But I think... the one you want to challenge should already be in the Sea of Quanta."
"It's an obvious fact, after all, we received that person's warning long ago."
Otto calmly straightened his collar.
Void Treasury clearly understands that this seemingly pretentious action is a way for these clever people to buy themselves time to think.
"So what are you going to do? Things have come to this point, are you going to cooperate?"
"Why do you ask?"
Otto raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I think he... genuinely wants to save the world, right?"
"Who knows."
Otto smiled warmly. "Perhaps that's true, but... what does that have to do with cooperation?"
"Well... if I may be frank, cooperation should be an activity that maximizes benefits, and you could even say it's all good and no bad—for you."
"This feeling of being manipulated by an invisible hand is enough to make one unhappy, even if it is harmless."
"...I thought you would be very happy."
"..."
Otto was silent.
There's no point in engaging in baseless personal attacks when we're discussing issues rationally.
What kind of image do I have in your eyes?
Otto sighed, "If I want to hear the truth—even if he is saving the world, I still want to challenge him."
Otto had to admit that he couldn't find any fault with what the other party had done.
Sharing crisis warnings with the enemy... Heh, what's the purpose?
Does he consider himself a savior?
Or are they so arrogant that they already regard them as future assets?
Or is it simply an overabundance of saintly compassion?
