Chapter 55 (1/2)

The entire world was completely silent at this moment, as if time had stopped. Only the gentle wind at the riverside of the River of Trust continued to blow lightly.

At the same time, a face of absolute beauty appeared in front of the youth's eyes.

In the ancient times, there were beauties that hid the moon and shamed the flowers, sunk the fishes and alighted the birds. Yet, Yun Qingwu didn't fall behind them. With her long, curved eyebrows, bright pupils, snow-white skin, her lips fainting showing a shade of red, like the most breath-taking stroke of brush in a vast snowy landscape.

Except at this moment, this face of absolutely beauty, was in a state of complete shock. Her delicate lips were slightly agape, and disbelief filled her bright pupils.

Not only did Yun Qingwu not dare to believe, the maids beside her at this moment also stood with their mouths agape and their eyes wide-open. Staring at this youth in front of them, they were simply unable to react.

Too fast!

In a flash, the veil on Yun Qingwu's face had appeared in the hands of this youth. It felt as if that piece of cloth had never even left the youth's hands.

Below the stage, even Yan Xiu's constant ice-cold expression also seemed incredible at this moment. His thin lips opened and shut, shut and opened, his eyes filled with a look of disbelief.

Most exaggerated of all was Meng Yushu. His eyes were round and wide-opened, a fist instinctively stuffed into his mouth. His two cheeks were so stuffed that it even reddened, yet he didn't realise.

The expressions of the scholars that were previously jeering were now completely frozen at this moment.

Silence. n.o.body made a sound.

Because...

n.o.body could ever imagine that something like that had just happened.

”Hmm, not too bad! The Reeds and the Rushes… how could you not be able to pursue that man? Looks like lady is burdened with a worry!” The youth looked at Yun Qingwu, and sighed unexpectedly.

Then, he turned around and walked down the stage. Walking directly to Yan Xiu's side, he picked up the hundred taels silver note beside Yan Xiu's hand and caressed it, his face beaming delightedly.

”Everybody has seen it, I have already unveiled the veil, this silver note naturally belongs to me!” After finis.h.i.+ng his sentence, the youth kept the hundred taels silver note into his pocket and strolled away into the distance, perfectly contented...

”Yun Qingwu's… veil has been removed?!”

”Unveiled just like that?”

”This is too beautiful! She can collapse a city with one look, then collapse a country!”

”Wait a minute… did he say silver note?!”

Even though the scholars' hearts were shocked upon facing such a situation, but after seeing Yun Qingwu's absolute beauty, they were completely mesmerised. After a long time, somebody finally managed to react.

”Catch him!”

Quick, catch that lecher!”

After their initial, what erupted was fury that filled the Heaven. At this moment, the hearts of the scholars were completely ignited, n.o.body bothered about the rules of the Hundred Flower Gathering anymore.

In broad daylight, within the Heaven and Earth, he had actually dared to commit such an errant act.

Furthermore, he had even blasphemed the purest G.o.ddess in their hearts, if this could be tolerated, what could not?

”Where is he?”

”Where did he run to?”

The scholars began to search everywhere, yet unfortunately, the youth had already disappeared without a trace. Not even his shadow could be seen in the scene of the Hundred Flower Gathering.

”How could you not be able to pursue that man?” Yun Qingwu managed to regain her composure at this moment. Looking at the direction the youth had disappeared into, her lips parted slightly. n.o.body knew whether it was due to anger, or something she had suddenly thought of, but her face actually revealed a faint smile.

This scene instantly stunned the angry scholars once again. She was indeed endowed with a natural beauty that was impossible to hide.

”Pack up, let's leave!” The smile of Yun Qingwu's face disappeared in a flash. Instead of covering her face with the veil again, she walked back slowly towards the pleasure boat at the riverside, her expression completely calm.

”Yes, Lady!”

As Yun Qingwu left, the Hundred Flower Gathering came to a close, leaving a bunch of scholars cracking their fists, swearing that they would find that lecher and take revenge for shaming Yun Qingwu.
