Chapter 108 – The Ancestor’s Purpose (2)

Ning Xuemo also felt cold, but it was still bearable. She could still resist the dropping temperatures without needing to move around.

She glanced at Ji Yunhuang and saw his complexion also somewhat paling. However, compared to Emperor Le Xuan’s, Ji Yunhuang’s complexion looked much better, and his body did not shake from the cold. He could still act normal and maintain his composure.

For a moment, silence permeated the main hall to the point that even if a needle dropped, it could still be heard.

Such silence clearly made Emperor Le Xuan rather uncomfortable. As the host, he could not allow such an awkward silence to continue. However, he already read the speech written by his imperial secretaries. He even went through the backup draft once. Now, he had to improvise.

One problem was that he could not understand the Ancestor’s personality and for a moment,had no idea what possible common subjects he could use to start a conversation.

A conversation, a discussion, could only be considered as such if the opposing party actually replied. And right now, although there was many people in the main hall, no one was replying.  Up until now, Emperor Le Xuan continued to be the only one speaking.

He felts somewhat embarrassed, racking his brain to find something more to say.

“Get out.” Finally, the Ancestor opened his mouth.

As if receiving amnesty the Emperor rejoiced, thinking ‘Your mother! I am finally liberated!’

He bowed once more and said, “Yes, this humble Emperor shall now retire. Ancestor, I have brought two people with me. If you need anything, you only need to instruct them.” He then pointed at Ning Xuemo and Ji Yunhuang who stood behind him.

‘Damn!’ She knew it. He brought her here just so she can be a maid!

This time, she also could not even say a word of refutation. Therefore, she had no other choice but to stand there next to Ji Yunhuang and synchronize with him for the greetings. “Paying homage to the Ancestor.”

The Ancestor stayed silent and just slightly raised his hand, meaning that they were allowed to end the greetings.
