The girl frowned, as if she did not know how the bright and cheerful Qian Li had turned into such a state.

In the past, although she seemed to be playful and disrespectful, she was extremely passionate towards everything. However, now …

She seemed to become very suspicious.

She didn't trust anyone and wouldn't give anyone a chance to enter her heart.

"Miss Qian Li still hasn't answered me. If you don't want to take in servants, and don't want to be friends, then what is the relationship between the two of you?"

Qian Li was startled, seeing the two of them looking at him curiously, she felt complicated.

If she was still Murong Yan right now, perhaps he would be able to answer without hesitation, and be her siblings or relatives.

But right now, she was only Qian Li.

Therefore, Qian Li could not have friends.

"They... A friend of a friend. "

This answer was answered without thinking, but the girl grabbed onto her tail without letting go, "If that's the case, then Miss Qian Li had once been a friend, right?"

Qian Li frowned. In the end, she still chose to answer truthfully, "Yes."

"I don't know what you've been through all these years, these things. If you didn't say it, I wouldn't have asked. Of course, the most important thing is that I feel that I don't have the right to ask, but what I want to say is, no matter what happened to you. "Since we can have friends in the past, we can also have friends in the future."

Qian Li shook her head, "No, in my life, I will never make any friends."

"We can't be so certain about everything. As for what will happen in the future, how could we possibly know about it?"

"I may not know anything else, but my own thoughts, my own actions, these are things I can control."

The girl shook her head and said, "There are many things that happen in this world that we can't help ourselves with. Many times, we can't change a person's mind, but we can't control ourselves either.

Qian Li was a little flustered, she suddenly felt that she was almost convinced by the girl in front of him.

She hurriedly explained, "As the saying goes, one man grows wisdom after suffering a setback. It is precisely because I once had an unforgettable friendship that after I lost it, I didn't want to touch it again. "

Hearing this, the expressions of the three people beside him slightly changed.

The girl was still stubborn.

"I have also lost relatives before, and I can understand your feelings, and for a moment, I thought that I would not be able to live any longer, but I suddenly thought of you, so I wanted to live a little longer, so I kept on following you, and kept on looking for a chance at survival. Miss Qian Li, although my current emotions are not suitable for me to say such words, but I still want to say, there are some things that if we do not even go and try, how do we know that it would not work?"

"I know what you're worried about. It's just worry …" My mother told me before that in this lifetime, even though it was only a few short decades, there would never be a single person who would accompany us from birth all the way to old age. "

Qian Li frowned, she had to admit that although the girl's words were contrary to her own thoughts, they were indeed reasonable.

Because she...

He couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.

So she pursed her lips and listened.

"We will meet many people in our lifetime, and walk all over the place. No one can accompany us to the end, and in the end, there will also be people who will leave, so … Are we going to choose to spend the rest of our lives alone because of fear? If that is the case, then what is the point in living? "

"I'm not forcing you to make a decision. If you feel that I'm making things difficult for you, I can leave immediately, but I hope that after the girl thinks things through, you will come to this place to find me as fast as possible, because …" "Having lost all of my support, I don't know how long I can last on my own …"

Qian Li hesitated, then asked, "Is it really impossible for one person?"

It was like he was asking himself, or even asking a girl.

However, regardless of whether she was talking to herself or not, since the girl heard her, there was no reason for her to not answer.

She said, "I feel like I can't hold on by myself, so I want to find someone to accompany me. It's fine during the day, but in the dead of night, every time I think of myself, I feel like dying." Finally, the girl continued, "Miss Qian Li, give yourself a chance, give me another chance, I really feel like I'm about to die."

Qian Li pursed her lips, and did not immediately answer.

On the other hand, Li Mo who was always silent took the initiative to speak, and said, "Humans are social animals, if you do not interact with anyone, your heart will reject everyone who is outside. I think, this is not a rational action."

Qian Li frowned and said, "But I'm used to being alone, and … If I lose it again, I think I might not be able to handle it. "

"Habits can be changed. No one likes the feeling of being alone, let alone being alone."

After Li Mo finished speaking, Li Ran also nodded in agreement, and said, "Actually, this lady doesn't need to consider all these from the very beginning, right? When each of us decided to be friends or be together, we were all thinking about the consequences. If we are really that unfortunate in the future, then there will be an accident or we will have to leave. I believe we are all prepared. No matter what happens to the others, they will have to choose. Just like us siblings, if we die tomorrow, we will have no regrets. "

Her words seemed to have opened up a very weak nerve in her heart.

Even though he had already thought it through, it was not easy to change what he had said and what he had decided.

Even if it was easy, her pride wouldn't allow it.

So...

Qian Li turned her body, "After travelling for so long, everyone should go back and rest. It's because you're tired."

"Then …"

"Don't we all have our own things to do?" Qian Li frowned, then saw the girl looking at him with a face full of anticipation, and couldn't resist anymore. In the end, she still asked, "What is your name?"

"Xi Lan."

In that moment, Qian Li felt his entire body freeze, as though his entire body had been suddenly frozen.

Xi Lan, Xiao Lan...

She stared deadly at Xi Lan's face. It was clearly not the same face at all, but she felt so uncomfortable in her heart.

Xiao Lan, are you alright there?

Thinking about it, Qian Li's tears suddenly surfaced.

It was as if she was unintentionally and without any feeling, as if she was caught off guard. Just like that, she suddenly appeared.

This sudden reaction nearly frightened everyone. They were even more puzzled.

But after a while, Li Mo and Li Ran seemed to have understood something.

He vaguely remembered …

The's personal palace maid was called Xiao Lan, and it was said that she was buried with him when she died.

Although they had never seen the girl before, they had heard their master mention her many times.

I keep feeling that the Xiao Lan is an irreplaceable existence in my master's heart …

But...

Why did Qian Li have such a reaction?

Such excitement, it was as if … Empress saw the same feeling as that of an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time.

Could it be that Xiao Lan actually knew Qian Li?

Or perhaps, Qian Li knew how the Xiao Lan died?

Thinking about it this way, that feeling of familiarity with Qian Li grew even more familiar.

"Miss, what's wrong?" The siblings looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

If Li Mo didn't wear the human skin mask, the two siblings would look very similar, because they were twins in and of themselves.

The two of them had a tacit understanding that ordinary people did not have.

When Qian Li regained her senses and realized that she had lost control of herself, she panicked and reached out her hand to wipe away her tears.

She said, "Since you want me to keep you here so much, then you should stay. But if something happens in the future, I really can't guarantee it. "Don't do anything that would embarrass me."

This sudden change made everyone exceptionally surprised, but Qian Li tightly pursed her lips, looking as if she was unwilling to say another word.

Xi Lan immediately nodded, she wanted to say something, but Qian Li turned and left first.

"I'll go take a look around the town. You guys can do whatever you want."
