C23 (1/2)
The difference between a commoner and a prince was like the difference between clouds and mud. Once one approached them, they would fall in love without any hesitation, right?
In the face of Mo Hua's unfathomable words, Ye Qiongjiang was momentarily at a loss as to how to respond.
Except, he absolutely couldn't allow the emperor to know of this inside information.
The wind was strong, blowing the slightly open window to and fro. The door was slammed open with a loud bang, and the spindle gave out a grisly creak as if it couldn't bear it.
The drizzling rain outside the window was suddenly illuminated by a huge bolt of lightning!
The man's eyes were as sharp as knives!
It also illuminated Ye Qiongjiang's pale face in an instant!
It was as if the Star Palace was enveloped by an invisible divine power. If one were to look down from the sky, they would be able to see that when the dense rain drops fell in midair above the Star Palace, they would be separated by an invisible membrane.
The bean-sized raindrops exploded in mid-air, causing countless splashes, but not a single sound was produced.
”It's about to begin.”
Great Deity Official, who was standing by the window, slowly withdrew his wine bottle from outside the window. The wine cup had already turned into a torrential downpour as he poured outside, filling the entire sky with torrential rain.
He was like a soldier who could summon the wind and rain. This legendary divine technique actually existed in the real world? If someone else were to see it, they would probably be flabbergasted.
There was a clay pot sitting on top of the red mud stove. Bubbles were coming out of the pot, and the steam coming out of the pot was connecting into a sphere, looking like a small crane in the fog.
He lifted the clay pot with his warm and dry palm and poured the boiling water into two blue and white porcelain tea bowls.
The boiling water condensed into a tea bowl and poured into the tea leaves at the bottom of the bowl. The delicate sound of water splashing could be heard like the cry of a crane.
The owner of the hand wasn't affected by this rare phenomenon in the slightest, and wasn't even interested in the miracles displayed by Great Deity Official. He only picked up a tea bowl and slowly swirled it in his hand, blowing lightly on a stalk of tea floating on the surface of the water.
He turned around and looked at Gu Rongzhi who was half-way by the side, spinning a blue and white porcelain teacup, and said with a profound look: ”You sure are able to keep your cool.”
The black mask on Great Deity Official's face had already been changed into a light muslin, the face behind the muslin was faintly similar to Mo Hua, just that the expression behind the muslin was much more exquisite than Mo Hua's.
”Otherwise? You want to be like you, calling the wind and summoning the rain to cheer us up? ”
Great Deity Official's pupils contracted as she slowly sat down in front of him. Even through the veil, he could still see the smile on his lips. ”I didn't expect you to still remember.”
”Of course I do.”
Gu Rongzhi's voice was calm, as if she was telling an ordinary story, ”We will drink together one night, and the next day, we will use the blood of one hundred thousand soldiers of the Xin Country to wash the tiger-occupied pass clean. it was as if I had personally given it to Mo Hua. ”
Great Deity Official looked at him carefully, lowered his head and picked up the blue and white porcelain tea bowl, bringing it to his lips, ”Now, do you regret it?”
”Regret? How is this possible? Ever since I made this decision, there has been no turning back. My royal father, my brothers and sisters, had all been beheaded. Other than Guyu and I, there was no longer a third living person in the Imperial Family. After betting so many lives, do you think I still have the qualifications to regret? ”
”The lofty Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince that everyone thinks highly of, hur, is just a joke. Xin died the year I was born. ”Rather than losing it to someone else, it would be better to become my bargaining chip and win this match for me.”
His gaze was sharper than it had ever been.
He no longer held back. His gentle temperament suddenly turned into a sharp blade, like a treasured sword that had been nurturing its strength for many years. The moment it was pulled out, it radiated light in all directions, emitting a cold light that penetrated the heart!
”You have a firm will and are decisive in your actions. You are a top talent, but I am only afraid that you will not live up to your words.”
Great Deity Official smiled slightly, ”But from the looks of it, I am overthinking things.”
”I can understand your worry, but Ye Qiongjiang is the most important person in the Bureau.
Gu Rongzhi paused for a moment, and then laughed lightly: ”Didn't you hear that love goes deep, and that you lost your life?”
”Tonight, heh … ”What a fierce night …”
”Boom!”
The sound of thunder was so loud that it sounded as though it had exploded right beside his ears.
The rain kept coming in through the window, falling on their heads and bodies like tiny arrows, hitting them until they were full of holes.
Cold, piercing.
”You, what are you trying to do!”
The candle flame inside the room flickered, flickering, and forming a strange flickering shadow. Mo Hua's face looked especially dark and cold in the rain.
Ye Qiongjiang couldn't help but be a little afraid, ”You … ”What do you want …”
”What for?” Mo Hua chuckled softly, he then walked over to her and went around the board, and said, ”Since Death Soldiers don't care about love, and since you are not really in love, then there is no need for you to resist me.”
His steps weren't big, but the two of them were too close. With just one step, he arrived in front of her.
