Si Muran's eyes widened. She had just killed one of the charlatans earlier, and now there was another one. Although the huckster in front of him was a little handsome, he could not escape the fact that he was a huckster.
However, Si Muran only grumbled in her heart. After all, she wasn't Si Muran now, but the boorish countryside girl Si Ting. Therefore, she could only play dumb and see what Zi Yang was up to.
When the Emperor heard Zi Yang say that Si Muran's fate could counter the demonic dragon, he was overjoyed and ordered the palace maid,""Someone, bring Miss Si down to see if there's a lightning mark on her back that can counter the demon dragon?”
A palace maid immediately came over with the order. Si Muran followed the palace maid down and allowed the palace maid to remove her clothes for inspection. Si Muran only felt a pair of soft hands caressing her back. Then, she heard a surprised voice."Look, there is indeed a lightning-like mark on the girl's back.”
Si Muran's head hurt when she heard that. It was a pity that her eyes were not on the back of her head, and she could not see the lightning-like expression on her face. The palace maid respectfully dressed Si Muran and led her to the main hall.
"Replying to the emperor, this servant has already checked. Just as the state preceptor had said, there was indeed a lightning-like memory behind the girl.”The leading palace maid replied cautiously.
The Emperor could not hide the joy on his face. Sage Zi Yang also smiled lightly. Only Pei Chenshuo felt that things were extremely strange. He looked at Si Muran with a trace of scrutiny.
Si Muran didn't know what had happened either. Why did she suddenly become a person whose fate was incompatible with the demonic dragon? Just as they were thinking about it, they heard the thunder outside. Zi Yang and the Emperor's expressions turned solemn, but they heard Zi Yang say,""I'm afraid that the demon dragon is about to descend. Why don't you go out and take a look?”
The Emperor nodded and stood up. Pei Chenshuo and Si Muran followed him out of the hall. The few of them stood in front of the main hall, their eyes looking to the east.
Si Muran looked at the lightning rod she had designed according to the Encyclopedia that was still standing on the Heavenly Sky Palace opposite her. She saw an intense blue light suddenly flash across the sky, and that bolt of lightning struck down towards the Heavenly Sky Palace.
Everyone's shocked gazes looked at the bolt of lightning that came straight down, only to see a wisp of green smoke slowly drift away in the split second between the blue bolt of lightning and the lightning rod. After a muffled thunder that shook the heavens and earth, the Heavenly Sky Palace was safe and sound!
Zi Yang's deep gaze stared at the lightning rod that was erected on Heavenly Sky Palace. He then smiled slightly, turned around, and bowed towards the Emperor."Congratulations, Your Majesty. The demon dragon has passed away and turned into ashes. Your Majesty is the true dragon and son of heaven. His great fortune is like the sky. It is indeed the blessing of the country.”
Si Muran couldn't help but roll her eyes. This Zi Yang really knew how to suck up to people. His flattery was really disgusting.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Pei Chenshuo followed suit.
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Si Muran could only follow suit and say,""Congratulations, Your Majesty." Si Muran was still scolding Zi Yang for being a bootlicker just a second ago, but now she had joined the team as well. Although she had no choice, Si Muran still looked down on her.
However, it was not a big deal to say something against his heart in order to save his life. Hearing everyone's praise, the Emperor couldn't help but laugh out loud,"Alright, I'll reward you all!"
"Thank you, Emperor." Everyone said in unison. They looked up and saw that the lightning had already gone far away. The sky had already begun to clear up!
The Emperor saw that it was already midnight and said to Pei Chenshuo,""It's already late at night. You can stay in the palace for the night.”
Pei Chenshuo thanked him and watched the emperor and the eunuchs leave.
Si Muran was still confused about what had happened. She wondered if Pei Chenshuo had sold her out. Pei Chenshuo also suspected that Si Muran and Zi Yang had plotted all of this.
Therefore, when their eyes met, both of them carried a trace of suspicion and suspicion.
Si Muran looked at Pei Chenshuo's unfriendly gaze and felt a lingering fear. Could it be that Pei Chenshuo wanted to silence her? Just as he was making wild guesses, Immortal Zi Yang, who had gone with the Emperor, returned to the side hall.
"Your Highness, I want to borrow Miss Si to solve the problem of the trapped dragon.”Zi Yang made it very clear that he wanted to take Si Muran away.
When Pei Chenshuo heard Zi Yang's words, he was even more certain that Si Muran and Zi Yang had an unspeakable relationship. Pei Chenshuo decided to observe secretly and nodded.""Imperial Preceptor, please go ahead."
As long as she could avoid Pei Chenshuo, Si Muran did not mind leaving with this handsome fraud. Hence, he slowly moved closer to Sage Zi Yang. Pei Chenshuo saw Si Muran's actions and his mouth twitched. He was furious. Then, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Si Muran saw that Pei Chenshuo had left and felt extremely relaxed. She secretly sized up Zi Yang, who was standing at the side. For some reason, Si Muran felt that this person looked familiar and close.
Miss Si, please." Zi Yang waved the floating dust in his hand and sat down. Then, he led Si Muran into the night.
Si Muran followed Zi Yang, but Zi Yang didn't resolve the situation like he said. Instead, he settled her down in a room.
Zi Yang smiled and said to Si Muran,""It's already late at night, Young Lady should rest here for the night.”
Si Muran nodded in thanks and closed the door. Sitting in front of the table, Si Muran held her chin and thought about the strange things that happened today. She then remembered the lightning mark on her back and wanted to see if it was real or fake.
Si Muran opened the door and looked around. Seeing that it was absolutely safe, she took off her clothes and looked at the dressing table behind her with a small bronze mirror. Si Muran was so surprised that she almost jumped up.
There was indeed a lightning-like mark on her back. Si Muran touched it with her hand, but it didn't hurt or itch. She didn't feel anything. Si Muran found it strange. Could it be a birthmark? She felt that it was impossible. If it was a birthmark, the servant girl would have told her when she was bathing.
Si Muran couldn't come up with a reason no matter how much she thought about it, so she could only let him do as he pleased. After putting on her clothes, Si Muran sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror and looked at her plain and unadorned appearance.
She gently removed the human skin mask on her face and made some adjustments to make it perfect. After doing all this, Si Muran carefully put on the mask in front of the mirror. She did not notice that a pair of deep eyes was sizing her up through the gap in the window.
Zi Yang gently closed the window. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a meaningful smile rippled on his face.
When the sky was about to brighten, a woman in a black cloak quietly walked into the side hall where Pei Chenshuo was staying. Pei Chenshuo was already a light sleeper. He woke up when he heard the door open, but he did not open his eyes.
The light footsteps slowly approached with a seductive fragrance. Concubine Ning lifted the cloak and hat that covered her head, and her lightly tied hair slowly fell down.
Concubine Ning looked at Pei Chenshuo, whose eyes were tightly shut. Her fiery red lips smiled slightly as she leaned over to kiss his thin and cold lips. Pei Chenshuo opened his eyes and gently pushed her away. Concubine Ning's kiss was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.
"What are you doing here?" Pei Chenshuo sat up from the bed and glanced at Concubine Ning lazily.
"I missed you, so I came to see you.”Concubine Ning said as she wrapped her arms around Pei Chenshuo's waist and lay in his arms.
Pei Chenshuo did not push her away, but the image of Si Muran in his arms flashed across his mind. "What's going on with Perfected Zi Yang?”Pei Chenshuo asked in a low voice as he chased away Si Muran's shadow.
Concubine Ning sat up from Pei Chenshuo's arms and replied,""Immortal Zi Yang is the teaching elder of the First Heaven Sect. He is the new Imperial Advisor appointed by the Emperor and is trusted by the Emperor.”
Pei Chenshuo nodded, but Concubine Ning suddenly asked,""Why is that woman surnamed Si in your residence? Could it be that you have some feelings for this woman?”
Pei Chenshuo laughed coldly,"It's just a coincidence that she's in my residence."”
"Really?" Concubine Ning said, unwilling to give up. I think this woman is quite suspicious, especially after what happened last night. I can see that she has some relationship with Zi Yang. Why don't we kill her to prevent future trouble?" Concubine Ning's face flashed with killing intent.
"No." Pei Chenshuo seemed to reject subconsciously.
Concubine Ning saw that Pei Chenshuo was so decisive and a bad feeling rose in her heart. Her expression changed and she asked sternly,""What's wrong? You can't bear to? Or are you moved by that woman and unwilling to kill her?”
Pei Chenshuo's expression did not change and he did not refute. Concubine Ning's expression was extremely ugly,""I heard that that woman is a little eccentric and has a similar personality to the Sixth Miss of the Minister's Residence. Could it be that you're still thinking about the already deceased Si Muran?”
Pei Chenshuo raised his eyebrows and replied coldly,""You know, I married her entirely because of the Heavenly Works Canon. Don't think too much!"
Concubine Ning snorted." Don't think I can't tell. You clearly have feelings for Si Muran." If I didn't have the foresight to kill her in your name, I'm afraid she would have bewitched your heart and made you forget your original intention!”
Concubine Ning was so angry that she accidentally spilled the beans.
"What did you say?" Pei Chenshuo suddenly stood up, his entire body emitting a cold aura that made Concubine Ning's heart tremble. Pei Chenshuo's cold gaze pressed on Concubine Ning.
"Who told you to make your own decisions? Hmm?" Pei Chenshuo's tone was a little angry. Even Concubine Ning was a little afraid when she saw Pei Chenshuo like this.
Concubine Ning also stood up to meet Pei Chenshuo's gaze, her slightly wronged face carrying a trace of tenderness,""Shuo, don't forget, before you entered the palace, you promised me that you would listen to me in everything. Have you forgotten?"
Pei Chenshuo's face flashed with hesitation, but he turned around and said coldly,""That was before you entered the palace. Don't forget how you entered the palace? Now that you've gotten the glory and wealth you wanted, why bother interfering with my matters? If you dare to act on your own in the future, don't blame me for disregarding our past friendship!”
Pei Chenshuo left after saying those harsh words.
Concubine Ning looked at Pei Chenshuo's departing figure and her eyes lit up with flames. As expected, Pei Chenshuo could not forget Si Muran. Not only that, he was also unwilling to be ruthless to Si Ting, who had a similar personality to Si Muran!
Pei Chenshuo, then don't blame me for being impolite. I won't let any woman who comes near you off!# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
