Ghost Palace?
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrow, she vaguely remembered this man from her memory, he was a special existence in the Dragon War Empire. He had advanced to tenth rank, and became the number one martial arts genius. The distinguished Third Prince, his future was supposed to be immeasurable, when the world was right in front of him. There was a fire in the palace, and he lost all of his cultivation.
Coincidentally that day was the seventh month of the lunar calendar which was also the Ghost Festival. That was how the t.i.tle, Ghost Palace, was came about……
He seldom stepped out of his palace, and his very existence became shrouded in a mystery.
Many people were eager to get close to him, because all the people that he had advised, all advanced in their cultivation very quickly in a short span of time.
Yet deep in the depths of their hearts, no one truly dared get to close to him, as they had a trace of fear buried within.
“Thud”
“Thud”
“Thud”
His unhurried footsteps, calm yet rhythmical, were getting closer.
Helian Wei Wei saw Helian Mei who was standing at the side trembling slightly.
As she looked up, she saw the silhouette of a slender bodied man at the end of the river, his silver mask glistening in the sun. Though he had not spoken a word, he exuberated an air of n.o.bility and cla.s.s.
What he was wearing had a complicated embroidery and showed exquisite workmans.h.i.+p. His long sleeves draped and lightly touched the floor, and created a cool breeze with each step he took.
As he drew near, his footsteps gradually came to a stop. His bright red clothing and his pale coloured neck created a drastic contrast. And suddenly, it felt like the cold gaze from his phoenix eyes could outs.h.i.+ne all the colours.
Perhaps it wasn’t just his eyes.
His entire being was emitting a dangerous aura, making the people incapable of ignoring his presence.
From the moment he appeared, everything around him seemed to fade away, ceasing to exist!
“This humble servant did not know about your Royal Highness’s arrival, please pardon my negligence.” Helian Guang Yao stepped out quickly and bowed his head.
The n.o.ble ladies who stood by the side also bowed to His Highness, gazing at him shyly.
Helian Guang Yao did know how long he have been there, and how much he had overheard, thinking only about what to say next ” Your Highness…..”
Baili Jia Jue ignored Helian Guang Yao and asked “What do you think of my robe?” As he casually glanced at everyone who was present.
His voice was like a void that was entrenched in coldness, yet a little low that was pleasant to the ears, as if it was a finely tuned instrument, but it still could not mask his menacing aura.
The confused people looked at each other, not understanding the meaning behind what he just said.
Silent filled the air, and n.o.body moved.
Helian Guang Yao took it upon himself to ease the tense atmosphere ” Your Highness, I heard that you prefer tranquil and quiet environments. There are too many people here, why don’t we head over to the study instead?”
