Guo Bao Kun, moved by Li Cheng Lin's plea, volunteered to help him find the girl.
On the other side,
Hai Tang Duo Duo was slightly taken aback,
unbelieving that
such a devoted soul existed in the world!
He had never even seen the girl's face, and she didn't know him, yet he loved her so deeply, he even wrote poems for her…
She wondered who this girl was,
what kind of charm she possessed!
Without thinking, Hai Tang Duo Duo took a closer look at Li Cheng Lin, her first real assessment of him.
Upon closer inspection,
she was surprised again.
"He's really good-looking!"
"His skin is flawless!"
"Not a single blemish!"
Just as men enjoy looking at beautiful women, women are equally drawn to handsome men.
Li Cheng Lin's handsome features, coupled with his deep affection, softened Hai Tang Duo Duo's earlier dismissive attitude, and she even poured him a cup of tea.
"Thank you!"
At that moment,
Li Cheng Lin, after hearing Guo Bao Kun's offer, sighed.
"Ah!"
"Kun Kun, I appreciate your kindness!"
"But the girl I love, you can't bring her back."
Li Cheng Lin said dejectedly.
"Ah? Why can't you bring her back?"
Guo Bao Kun was taken aback,
suddenly realizing something,
his eyes widening, he said,
"Could it be, could it be that this girl is no longer among the living?!"
With Guo Bao Kun's words,
even Hai Tang Duo Duo across from him, instantly perked up, curiously looking at Li Cheng Lin, acting like a front-row spectator eager to hear the gossip.
Li Cheng Lin rolled his eyes!
"Your beloved woman is alive and well!"
"She's just very far away from us."
Li Cheng Lin looked towards the north again,
his eyes filled with tender affection,
"Her name is beautiful…"
"The most beautiful poetry pales in comparison to her name!"
"When her name is spoken, the sun and moon dim in my eyes!"
"Because her name is… Hai Tang Duo Duo!"
"A name that haunts my dreams!"
As soon as Li Cheng Lin finished speaking,
a clattering sound came from the room inside.
From the sound,
it seemed that the young Miss Si Li Li had accidentally knocked over a tea set.
However,
Guo Bao Kun didn't seem to hear it, instead, he fell into deep thought.
"Hai Tang Duo Duo?"
"That name, it sounds familiar!"
Guo Bao Kun scratched his head in bewilderment,
"I seem to have heard it somewhere…"
After a few seconds,
Guo Bao Kun suddenly let out a yell!
"Hai Tang Duo Duo?!"
"Fourth Prince…Fourth Young Master, the Hai Tang Duo Duo you're talking about, wouldn't she be the Saintess of Bei Qi, Hai Tang Duo Duo?"
"Yes, it's her!"
Li Cheng Lin nodded directly,
"That's why I said you can't bring her here!"
"She's in Bei Qi, and she's a revered Saintess, how could she come with you to our Nan Qing?"
Guo Bao Kun was stunned!
My heavens!
He never imagined that
the Fourth Prince's beloved was actually the Saintess of Bei Qi, Hai Tang Duo Duo!
No wonder, even with the Fourth Prince's status,
he could only dream of her!
After all,
Hai Tang Duo Duo wasn't just the Saintess of Bei Qi,
she was also the disciple of the Bei Qi Grandmaster, Ku He, a true Ninth-Rank Upper Realm master!
However,
on the other hand,
the Fourth Prince was also of noble status,
being a prince of Da Qing,
his position wasn't inferior to the Saintess of Bei Qi!
Furthermore,
if the two of them actually became a couple,
it would be a legendary love story for the ages!
A prince of Nan Qing and a Saintess of Bei Qi, they were a perfect match!
At the same time,
while Guo Bao Kun was mentally shipping this couple in his head,
unbeknownst to him,
the girl opposite him was equally stunned!
It felt like the gossip had reached her ears!
Hai Tang Duo Duo's eyes widened,
pfft,
the peach pit in her mouth fell out.
What the heck!
This person, the girl he secretly admired, was me?!
If not for her top-secret identity in Nan Qing, the person in front of her definitely wouldn't recognize her, Hai Tang Duo Duo would've thought he was teasing her!
There was actually such a handsome young man in Nan Qing who had a secret crush on me!
Hai Tang Duo Duo's face flushed,
she was stunned for a moment,
before quickly lowering her head to pretend to eat a peach,
pretending to casually ask,
"Ahem, you said you like the Saintess of Bei Qi, Hai Tang Duo Duo?"
"But you're from Nan Qing, she's from Bei Qi, you two are destined to be impossible!"
"Why impossible!"
Seeing Hai Tang Duo Duo's clumsy acting, Li Cheng Lin held back his laughter but said with conviction,
"Love transcends mountains and seas, mountains and seas can be bridged!"
"There are boats to cross the sea, paths to climb the mountain!"
"Alas!"
"Alas!"
"This heart cannot be swayed, this love cannot be broken!"
"Mountains may crumble, heaven and earth may unite, but I will never leave you!"
Boom!!!
As soon as Li Cheng Lin finished speaking,
Guo Bao Kun behind him felt his brain buzzing, he took a few steps back in shock, and only stabilized himself by leaning against the wall!
He was dumbfounded,
like a silly whisper,
he kept repeating the few lines of poetry Li Cheng Lin had casually uttered.
"Love transcends mountains and seas, mountains and seas can be bridged!"
"There are boats to cross the sea, paths to climb the mountain!"
"Mountains may crumble, heaven and earth may unite, but I will never leave you!"
"Good poetry, such good poetry!"
"Moving and heartfelt, love so deep!"
"Fourth Prince's impromptu verses, they will surely become a classic, an ode to love for the ages!"
As a palace writer,
Guo Bao Kun was quite knowledgeable in literature,
he could tell instantly,
how amazing those casual lines of poetry from the Fourth Prince were!
Hai Tang Duo Duo was once again stunned!
She had just casually said that the two of them were impossible,
but she didn't expect
that the young master in front of her would immediately respond with such a masterpiece!
Such beautiful lines, mountains and seas can be bridged!
Such beautiful lines, mountains may crumble, heaven and earth may unite, but I will never leave you!
Hai Tang Duo Duo stared at Li Cheng Lin,
deeply impressed by his talent,
especially
the thought that these classic lines were uttered to express his admiration for her, made Hai Tang Duo Duo's face even hotter!
She quickly picked up the plate of grapes on the table, put it on her lap, and turned around,
facing away from Li Cheng Lin,
she ate the grapes furiously to cool down, and asked,
"You know, your talent is really impressive…"
"You said it very movingly!"
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Li Cheng Lin!"
Seeing Hai Tang Duo Duo's cute, bashful look, Li Cheng Lin held back his laughter and said.
Li Cheng Lin…
Hai Tang Duo Duo nodded, remembering the name.
"Li Cheng Lin, maybe the Saintess of Bei Qi isn't as good as you think, maybe you'll dislike her once you meet her!"
Hai Tang Duo Duo asked with a pout.
"Shallow!"
Before Li Cheng Lin could reply,
Guo Bao Kun behind him rushed over angrily, as if he had heard a great insult!
"You rude woman, you know nothing about love!"
"The Fourth Prince can casually compose such a masterpiece for the Saintess of Bei Qi, his love for her is earth-shattering!"
"How dare you slander her!"
"Cut it out, just kidding, why are you so worked up?"
"It's not okay to joke about this!"
"I won't allow you to slander the love between the Fourth Prince and Saintess Hai Tang!"
"Alright, alright, I won't say it anymore!"
If it were another time,
someone dared to call her a rude woman in front of her, and yelled so loudly,
Hai Tang Duo Duo would've kicked them into oblivion,
but
Guo Bao Kun's words now,
didn't make Hai Tang Duo Duo upset at all,
in fact, after listening to them,
she felt quite relieved.
Hai Tang Duo Duo's thoughts were unknown to Li Cheng Lin,
but Guo Bao Kun's stance of wanting to beat someone up,
scared Li Cheng Lin to death!
Damn it!
Brother, calm down!
She's a Ninth-Rank Upper Realm master!
We two together, can't even beat one of her arms!
"Hey, hey, hey, Kun Kun, don't get excited!"
"Calm down first!"
"Fourth Prince, I can't calm down!"
"She's slandering you, slandering your love for Saintess Hai Tang!"
"Alright, alright, I get it, I don't care."
"But I do!"
"Such a devoted love, Fourth Prince, you are so devoted to Saintess Hai Tang, yet she still speaks such harsh words!"
"Damn, Kun Kun, the Oscars should give you an award for Best Supporting Actor!"
"What actor?"
"It's nothing, just don't rush in!"
