After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Tyrants Beloved (24.1)

Unexpectedly witnessing this scene, Li Shu raised an eyebrow. Li Xinuo and Qi Mingxuan were... together? They usually have little interaction. Was this the so-called force of the plot?

Sensing the host's confusion, 1314 turned its round body and replied, [Host, currently there is no romantic sentiment between the male and female protagonists.]

[You know what I'm thinking?] Li Shu narrowed his eyes dangerously, not continuing to inquire about the protagonists.

[No... impossible,] 'Who dares to pry into the boss's mind?'

1314 shrank its body and explained anxiously,[While we can sense the thoughts of our hosts, we cannot spy on an existence like the host unless the host himself is willing to let us know.]

In fact, when selecting hosts, systems preferred hosts with less mental strength in order to have a mutually beneficial partnership. A powerful demon like Li Shu would never be in the system's consideration, binding him was a complete mistake.

Knowing that the system wouldn't dare to deceive him, Li Shu skipped that topic: [If the male and female protagonists are together, shouldn't the plot point get triggered?] If so, why wasn't there a prompt?

Seeing Li Shu drop the previous topic, 1314 sighed in relief. It was afraid the host would linger on that issue. Checking the task progress, it found something strange: [The system is not showing that the third plot point has been activated.]

Not activated? Could it be that this time, the conditions for activation are not the protagonists being together? Li Shu couldn't figure out the reason, and the two people in front of him had already separated, walking towards him one after the other.

Qi Mingxuan looked at Li Shu with deep eyes, and remained silent. Li Xinuo suppressed various emotions and pretended to be surprised, "Big brother, why are you here?"

Everyone knew that the issue of settling refugees outside the city was entrusted to Prince Qin, Qi Mingxuan. Li Shu's role in this matter was unknown to anyone. Even the court officials were unaware of the details, let alone Li Xinuo.

Moreover, in her impression, Li Shu had not been involved in handling refugee issues from start to finish. In her memory, her elder brother was cold and power-hungry, someone who wouldn't do something seemingly unprofitable like appeasing refugees.

"I heard that His Highness Prince Qin managed everything here efficiently, and the city is full of praise. I was curious about how Prince Qin did it." Li Shu slightly shifted his gaze to Qi Mingxuan's direction, and showed a faint smile. "Seeing it today, the external praises are not unfounded."

Hearing this, Qi Mingxuan pursed his lips, his eyes deepening. He seemed to want to say something but ultimately, just gave Li Shu a meaningful look.

Only he knew how much credit the young man had in arranging refugee matters. It was the young man who promptly brought physicians, provided medical examinations, isolated those showing signs of disease, and collaborated tirelessly with the physicians day and night to find a solution. Otherwise, it would be impossible not to have a single refugee die from infection so far.

The young man played a much smaller role in this, but...it happened that the young man's actions were deliberately hidden by that person. He was obviously a soft-hearted person, but because of that person's selfishness, he could only act like a cold and ruthless person.

Looking at the young man's faint smile, Qi Mingxuan felt a sense of irony. Wouldn't the young man feel unfair about his unfair treatment? How would he view him, who took credit for his achievements?
