Chapter 6.1: To Entice or To Throttle
How had he sneaked inside and escaped anyone’s notice? And how had he then managed to come out without a scratch? !
Unless…..
As if to affirm his suspicions, the youth’s mesmerizing upslanted phoenix like eyes arched up a brow and said indifferently: “Isn’t it all just about a bunch of herbs? You were going to use it to save a person, and it was the same thing for me. But since I am not able to deny my wrongdoing in this, I will cure your Lord of his condition.”
Bai Zhi Yan’s heart then surged suddenly. For some unknown reason, he suddenly felt as if the youth would really be able to create some kind of miracle. But his face remained unmoved as he asked: “Based on what do you think that I am to believe you?”
“Heh.” The ends of Qing Yu’s mouth curled up with an almost imperceptible arc, her gaze seemingly looking into the pair of devilishly charming eyes through the curtain. “Based on the one fact that I am the only person who is able to touch you. Isn’t that right?”
The violet eyes immediately narrowed greatly.
Others might not know, but he knew it clearly. Back when this youth had come to steal the flower, he had discovered it and the two of them had exchanged blows.
He had thought that since the flower thief was so obnoxious, he did not need to hold back. He would just let him suffer the agonizing torment of ice poison and fire poison as they wrecked at him till his death. But, he did not die, but was still living.
Xuanyuan Che had always treated people with gentle courtesy. But that was all just an illusion. His real person was one who was highly apathetic inside, exactly the kind of person who was passionate on the outside and cold on the inside, deep and unfathomable, impossible to read. This was also what the Blue Wave’s Emperor admired the most.
The Duke of Eternal Peace did not have time to think further about it but went on to step inside the Imperial audience hall.
The Son of Heaven in the top seat was about forty years of age, his countenance young and handsome. He was seated upon the Dragon Throne and his face was dark as he read through the memorials written to the throne.
“Your vassal,”
“And subordinate general,”
“Pays our respects to Your Majesty!”
The Blue Wave Emperor’s attention then returned back as he rubbed at his temples. “My beloved officials please get up. Have a seat!”
“Thank you Your Majesty.” Yan Su got up and took a seat on a chair at the side. “For Your Majesty to summon your vassal so urgently into the palace, could it be something big has happened?”
The Blue Wave Emperor sighed, and handed the memorial he had been reading to a palace servant beside him. The palace servant immediately brought the memorial over to hand it over to Yan Su.
Yan Su opened up the memorial. As one who usually did not reveal his emotions, when he saw the contents recorded upon the memorial, he could not help but be shocked. “This…..”
“Through these years, the reason our Blue Wave Kingdom has been able to jump right up to the top among the three kingdoms is mainly due to the fact that the Water Edge Emperor has been sickly and frail. And it is also due to the fact that the Duke of Vast Oceans suffered a relapse of an old ailment and had fallen unconscious into long coma. But who would have thought that the Water Edge Emperor’s health would suddenly miraculously improve and I received a report from our spies that the Duke of Vast Oceans regained consciousness yesterday.”
The man who had fallen into a deep sleep for seven years. It was thought that he would never awaken and continue to sleep, who knew he would actually wake up!
This also meant that the Blue Wave Kingdom would once again face the crisis of having their people put in misery and suffering.
Just thinking about it already made the Blue Wave Emperor break out in cold sweat. The terror of that man, the Duke of Vast Oceans, his fiendish fame had spread throughout the entire three kingdoms. A typical example of a fanatical and warlike maniac who was exceptionally cruel, his notoriety striking terror into people’s hearts. Every place he walked, people backed away from him, where none dared to trifle with him. And it was because of his presence that the Water Edge Kingdom was the most powerful kingdom among the three.
“Your Majesty need not get too worried. The Water Edge Kingdom had not declared they were seeking a war and the ten year peace treaty we signed back then has not yet past. So even with the Duke of Vast Oceans notorious fame, they would not dare act wantonly.” Yan Su spoke to reassure softly, when he saw that the Blue Wave Emperor’s face was creased up in worry.
“There’s something my dear duke isn’t aware of. Your Emperor isn’t worried about that, but that the Water Edge Kingdom sent word some time ago that they want to send a princess here to propose a royal matchmaking. At that time, the list of names for the princess’ escort had not been set but looking at the current situation, it will almost definitely be that Duke of Vast Oceans himself that would be coming.” And he could not help but feel trepidation in his heart.
