Chapter 44 The Beautiful Men who Are Like The Moon and the Devil (1/2)

”Third Miss Mo and First Miss Mo indeed have a close relations.h.i.+p! Then I shall gift this person to Third Miss Mo!” Feng Yuran drawled lazily. His l.u.s.ty eyes slid across the faces of the crowd and his lips lifted. His vague smile made one feel as if they could not guess what he was thinking, but everyone he looked at felt a sense of foreboding for some reason.

This prince was known to have fluctuating moods. No one knew if his mood would chance suddenly the next moment.

”Get up! Since Third Miss Mo already said that, then I shall treat it as a mistake. After all, every family would have mistakes like that. No one would find it hard to understand.” His dark eyes were like a pool of water. When he smiled, his handsome appearance was complimented by his purple dragon embroidered robes. He looked charming and roguish.

Such words, and such a manner of mocking made everyone look at Mo Xuemin with deeper thoughts.

”Third Miss Mo, this is a favor from me to you. Throw this person out at the palace gates. Remember to get Lord Mo to pick him up and question him well.” He looked at her with his dark eyes and stroked his chin thoughtfully. Does that mean he was...asking for a favor?

”Many thanks, King Xuan!” Mo Xuetong could only curtsy helplessly. She glanced up to see that he was indeed raising his brows at her. She quickly looked down and did not dare to take another look at him. This person was too wild. He had, in the presence of so many people, gotten her to owe him a favor. However, she could not say anything else. She now owed him a favor!

She did not think that King Xuan was a simple as he looked. His eyes filled with emotions also had a hint of coldness in them. Sometimes, she could even sense a hint of frigid sharpness in them. He could bedazzle others with his beautiful appearance and sway their thoughts before dealing them with a deadly blow while they were not paying attention. How could she not be wary of a person like this? Mo Xuetong was very cautious and did not want to have too many dealings with him, much less owe him a favor.

However, how could she say anything else in front of so many people? She could not make things clear even if she wanted to. After all, he had helped her today. She could only let the anger simmer inside her.

Feng Yuran was very satisfied when he saw Mo Xuetong forcing herself to look respectful with pursed lips. She seemed to be rather depressed. Feng Yuran turned and left.

The little wild cat had retracted her claws. She seemed to be really good at acting pitiful and was just as good as that fake and venomous woman. Instead, she seemed even better than that woman. He quite enjoyed seeing it.

”Your Highness, where are we going?” Feng Yuran's personal eunuch stood at the crossroads and asked him carefully with his head lowered.

”Why is Sir Bai here. How rare is this?” Feng Yuran did not answer the eunuch but smiled at a person approaching. His eyes shone in a lively manner. Feng Yue, who was following behind Feng Yuran backed away silently and hid behind a tree.

Bai Yihao, who was wearing a pure white s.h.i.+rt, approached.

There were several people following behind him. However, they paled beside him. There were beautiful flowers blooming around them, but when he approached, it felt as if the scenery around him dulled and that he was the only bright spot. The beautiful youth approached slowly, his clear crisp voice sounded like the flowing waters in a stream.

”King Xuan is here, so how can I not come!” Bai Yihao smiled elegantly.

”Sir Bai could have not come!” Feng Yuran raised an eyebrow. His smile grew even more brilliant.

”I won't be able to rest at ease if I don't come! It is rare for you to meddle in things, King Xuan!” Bai Yihao smiled slightly with his thin lips and said softly.

”It's not really any random matter. One has to mind his own family matters after all. It is fine as longa s you don't reach out and take something from someone else's bowl. What do you think, Sir Bai?” Feng Yuran smiled at Baiyihao, his eyes were slightly upturned.

”Others should not meddle in one's family matters. But if it still isn't one's family, then it isn't one's family matter. Right, King Xuan?” Bai Yihao laughed lightly. His voice was as gentle as the spring breeze.

One of them was as pure as the sun while the other was extremely charming. The two handsome youths were clearly joking, but for some reason, made others feel cold. The people following them lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything else. The air smelt as if shots had been fired.

”Sir Bai, that's interesting! You should be careful that you might lose your life and still not get the item. I still have something on, I will look you up another day to discuss the difference between one's family matter and the family matters of others. Goodbye!” Feng Yuran laughed loudly and brought his men with him and walked in a different direction. He was headed to the center of the palace where Emperor Zongwen was.

There were two guards at the end of the path. They bowed respectfully when they saw that it was Feng Yuran coming. They disappeared behind the trees silently and swiftly. It was evident that they were true experts and one could see from this how favored King Xuan was by Emperor Zongwen. The guards did not even question him before letting him in.

”Sir...” Lin Yu, who had been following behind Bai Yihao looked on and wanted to say something. However, Bai Yihao smiled and waved his hand to stop him. He turned to walk in another direction where the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace was. The Empress Dowager's birthday was in a few days and he could send this gift of his to her first.

He had only taken a turn when he suddenly stopped as if he had discovered something. He turned to look at a fake mountain on the other side of the garden.

”Sir...”The eunuch wanted to ask him something but turned to look at where Bai Yihao was looking.

Mo Xuetong stood near the fake mountain awkwardly, as if she had been caught. She was slightly upset. Luo Mingzhu had to leave after Mo Xuemin's incident came to a close. She had brought Mo Yu with her to the secluded corner because she wanted to be in a quiet and peaceful place. However, she saw the two's verbal sparring. She was still struggling between going up to greet them or pretending not to have seen them.

She could not hide anymore when she saw Bai Yihao turning to look at her. After all, Bai Yihao had helped her a great lot. If he had not been there at the family rites, her plan would not have gone so smoothly, especially when he pulled up her sleeves. That had done Auntie Fang in.

As such, he had indeed done her a great favor.

She saw him smiling lightly, stopping where he was. It seemed as if he was waiting for her to approach him. If she did not go over, it would seem as if she was feeling guilty even though she did feel a little guilty. However, what was hidden under the n.o.ble appearance was not innocence and purity. When they met at the General Manor, the killing intent that he exuded was carved into her heart. She knew then, that he had wanted to kill her. However, she did not know why he helped her in the end.

That military arts book was definitely not the main reason for him letting her off and helping her...

It was fortunate that she was not hung up on that either!
