Chapter 343 : Just Have to Get Used to It

Ning Xuemo would never want to hold hands with this master in front of everybody, especially in the presence of Ji Yunhuang.

She subconsciously pulled her hands back, but this only resulted in Han Shanyue holding her fingers even tighter.

Although his fingers looked very delicate, they were filled with strength, and even before Ning Xuemo could break free of his grasp, her fingers were already sore from his grip.

Of course, Ning Xuemo did not want to stir up trouble, so she let him have his way.

After Ji Yunhuang finished his pompous officialese and commanded the hundreds of officials to make way for them. Han Shanyue then acknowledged him with a nod and led Ning Xuemo to the carriage among the troops.

The path to the carriage was laden with a snow white rug, and there were civil and military officials lined up at both sides. Ning Xuemo followed Han Shanyue and walked on the rug, she felt like a celebrity walking on the red carpet without the different kinds of flashing lights shining on them.

This occasion was exceptionally lavish, and although Ning Xuemo had seen all aspects of society, she still felt a bit nervous about it.

She knew very well that Emperor Le Xuan valued this newly appointed heavenly master a lot but never to such a great extent.

Looking at how things were, this was very much comparable to how things would have been done if the emperor were to lead his people by himself…

And it was also not too inferior compared to that of the Venerable Emperor’s outing.

She glanced at Han Shanyue who was beside her. He looked so calm and composed as though he was used to such arrangements; he was not at all bothered by it.

However, he was after all a martial arts master who did not express his emotions across well, or was he really used to such grand events?

It could be that he was a schemer or that he had a very prestigious status…

Then suddenly an idea struck her mind; could this Han Shanyue really be the Venerable Emperor himself?

As soon as this thought came to mind, she trembled a little.

“Scared?” Han Shanyue seemed to be able to sense her inner thoughts and gently turned his head to face her.

Ning Xuemo was stunned, but she smiled back, “ A little as I have never attended such an event.”

“You’ll be fine once you get used to it.”

Ning Xuemo smiled again, this time trying to fish out any information out of him. “Heavenly Master seems to be quite calm about all of this. Could it be that you are already used to it?”

“What do you think?” Han Shanyue threw the question back at her.
