Chapter 288 - My Lord, Let’s Live in Seclusion (1/2)

Gong Moran was sitting in the couch while reading, Nan Xun leaned on the couch in a very comfortable position with her thigh resting on him.

Perhaps he was afraid that she would feel insecure, when the man was reading his book, he would gently stroke her hair and read the book aloud.

The man’s voice was cold and beautiful, just like clear water from a melted ice in the early spring, brought with it some warmth, flowed gently to the depth of one’s heart. Nan Xun squinted her eyes comfortably, she liked hearing interesting things from him.

She thought that State Teacher always stayed inside the palace, very rarely would he go out for a stroll, and thus he wouldn’t know about amusing affairs. However, who would’ve known that interesting stories was able to came out from his mouth constantly, even though he talked without expression, the listener would laugh out loud hearing him.

“My Lord, these things, did you see with your own eyes? It’s really amusing!”

Gong Moran only mumbled out an ‘en’ as a reply.

“My Lord, why don’t you laugh at such a funny thing?”

Gong Moran said lightly, “Have seen a lot, this Lord doesn’t find it interesting anymore.”

After Nan Xun heard this, even if she couldn’t see with her eyes, she couldn’t help but blink her eyes while lost in thoughts. She looked like a playful minx as she suddenly smiled and asked, “My Lord, how long… have you lived?”

Gong Moran was startled, his thin lips pursed slightly, three words flowed out in a tiny whisper, “A long time.”

Nan Xun immediately questioned closely, “A long time, how long is it ah?”

Gong Moran’s thin lips tightened. Seeing that his little disciple wouldn’t stop until she reached her goal, he satisfied her wilfulness and replied, “This year is precisely three hundred years old.”

Although she was long prepared, but when Nan Xun heard this immediately from big boss’ mouth, she couldn’t help but be surprised with her mouth shaping a big O.

Then she quickly said ‘oh’ and laughed twice, “My Lord is still very young, I originally thought that my Lord has lived for thousands of years.”

Gong Moran: …

Nan Xun asked this just to break his thick defense, and then she proceeded to ask naturally, “My Lord, are you some kind of celestial being that came down from heaven, or a monster that can change its appearance?”

Gong Moran’s gaze wandered around her when he asked, “What does Duoduo think?”

Na Xun smiled, “I don’t know, that’s why I ask my Lord ah, but I still like my Lord whether he’s a celestial being descended from heaven or a monster that changed its appearance.”

When Gong Moran heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly twitched, and the look in his eyes turned softer.

“Duoduo, this Lord is just a mortal.” He spoke.

“Then, how come my Lord has such a powerful magic? Isn’t this only possible for celestial beings or monsters?”

“Have Duoduo heard of the Witch Clan?”

Nan Xun’s heart beat suddenly quickened; she finally broke through big boss’ heart!

She shook her head, kept silent and waited quietly for his next words.

Gong Moran lightly said, “You naturally have never heard of it. The Witch Clan died completely three hundred years ago, and now there’s only this Lord left.”

Nan Xun asked softly, “Are the people in Witch Clan all as powerful as my Lord? How come they’re all gone? Could they have died from natural disaster?”

Gong Moran’s voice grew colder, “Not a natural disaster, it’s a man-made disaster. The Emperor of the Great Zhou and the founding Emperor of Nanyun Kingdom massacred more than 20 thousand people from the Witch Clan.”
