Chapter 316 – Do You Like Him? (3)

Ning Xuemo felt as if she went through a psychedelic dream and was still dazzled after awakening. Yet, she couldn’t remember what she dreamt about…

She shook her head and stood up. “I’m fine. Is the painting complete?”

Ji Yunhuang looked at the painting on the table; the bold, vigorous mountains and rivers covered in drizzling rain were defined by an efficient and unscrupulous brush style. Exuding of an ethereal charm, this painting was a rarely seen masterpiece.

However, he always felt that the painting seemed to lack something; but, he couldn’t tell what was lacking.

Ning Xuemo also saw the painting. The sight distracted her. She was under the impression that the painting in front of her eyes was unlike the one she just saw earlier…

She observed the ink strokes on the painting again. They seemed new and had yet to dry. It was clearly just painted recently.

She shook her head. She must be very tired from being busy the past two days. Her brain must be muddled, and she was just mistaken about what she saw.

“Considering that you helped benzuo grind ink, I’ll forgive you two this time.” Han Shanyue spoke. Then he slowly rolled up the painting into a scroll and handed it over to Ning Xuemo. “Since every painting is a gift preordained by fate, I will be giving this painting to you.”

‘Ah?’ Gifted to her?! A painting by a great master worth an astronomical price and one that was extremely hard to come by!

Ning Xuemo’s eyes brightened, and she immediately expressed her thanks.

Ji Yunhuang also let out a sigh and bowed, “Many thanks Great Master.” He stretched his hand to pull Ning Xuemo along. “Shall we go?”

This time, Ning Xuemo raised her hand to block and evade his hand.

Sadness flitted through Ji Yunhuang’s eyes. All of a sudden, Han Shanyue faintly spoke, “Today, benzuo happens to be in a good mood. I’ll divine both of your fortunes.”

Ji Yunhuang’s eyes cleared. “Please speak Great Master. Later when I…”

“As clouds meet winds, a dragon shall emerge; sever the entanglement of passion.”

Ji Yunhuang understood the first sentence, which foretold that he would become an emperor in the future. However, to become an emperor, he had to get rid of his love? His love was going to hinder him from becoming an emperor?

‘That can’t be!’
