Was Han Changfeng not calm enough?
Of course not.
It was just that anyone who was caught red-handed doing something unspeakable would struggle to keep their cool. Especially when the person who caught him was the Sacred Lord’s most beloved Princess Ping Yang.
Ping Yang invaded the Imperial Academy?!
The purpose of yer visit was clear to everyone because no matter how much chaos she caused in the capital, she had never disrupted the conduct of political matters.
So...
Just as Han Changfeng’s face ashen, Ping Yang cut through the crowd of Imperial Messengers while wearing her red cloak. She was like a red fireball that shot in front of him.
Her tender cherry-sized lips curled into a smile.
Her glassy orbs studied Han Changfeng’s face at close range.
”Lord Han, you look nervous… Don’t tell me you are illegally altering the scripts?”
With this sentence out, the whole Imperial Academy was like the surface of a lake after a giant rock fell into it. All the Imperial Messengers were momentarily dumbfounded.
Han Changfeng’s jaws dropped like a stone. He was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
”Princess Ping Yang, please don’t make such accusations so easily…” Han Changfeng’s heart was in turmoil but he quietly reigned in his facial expressions.
”Hahaha, Lord Han sure can’t take a joke as usual. I’m here on the orders of my Father to retrieve someone’s script,” Ping Yang smile with such vibrancy it was comparable to the sakura blooms in spring, after seeing Han Changfeng’s agitated expression.
…
Nights in Yan Capital was not quiet. Candle flames in residences lit up like the stars in heaven. People from all walks of life moved about within these residences, causing a flow of dark shadows that traversed the streets outside.
Compared to Yan Capital, the surface of the Five Kilometer Lake was much calmer. A crisp green covered the lake like a coat of jade. The moonlight that drifted down bathed the area with a silver hue.
Fang Zhengzhi stared at the surface of the lake, his mouth slightly opened and his eyes were not even blinking.
Because…
He saw a woman. A woman dancing under the moonlight. Just like the scene he saw at the Heavenly Treasure Hall. The same dress floating in the air, the same elegant figure.
However, this was not the Heavenly Treasure Hall. It was the Five Kilometers Lake.
So…
Where did this woman come from?
Fang Zhengzhi was stumped. He really wanted to have a good look at her features but there seemed to be a veil of light in the air in front of him, reducing the clarity of the woman’s features.
However, he felt a great sense of wonder.
He felt that the woman was familiar. He must have seen her somewhere before but he did not know exactly where.
The woman softly danced on the surface of the lake, enjoying the glow of the moon. The scene was stunning yet strange. Fang Zhengzhi’s heart felt like it was struck by lightning.
However, this was different from the quick glance he had at the Heavenly Treasure Hall. This time, Fang Zhengzhi could study her carefully, scrutinize her every move.
Hence, he realized that the woman kept her dancing within a certain area.
It seemed circular.
It was not a big circle but the woman could never leap out of that circle. It felt like she was doing this on purpose yet when looked upon closely, it seemed like she was trapped inside.
Fang Zhengzhi played with the thought of calling Yan Xiu here to have a look. However, just as he was about to get up, packets of radiance slowly drifted down from the sky.
Almost like the moonlight dripped down from the skies.
Pure white light gently floated down from the heavens.
Right at this moment, a ray of light of the same kind shot out from the woman’s forehead. That light consumed those starry lights drifting down or rather, it assimilated with them.
As Fang Zhengzhi was mesmerized by this sight, the woman suddenly disappeared.
As if she had never existed.
Serenity returned to the lake surface. The blood-soaked rocks along the shoreline were the same intense red. A breeze came along, revealing a soft glow in the air…
