Volume 2 ◆ Flourishing Talent VS Overlooking the World ◆ 024 Encounter with the Foolish Emperor

  "Hmm..."

  The man in red sat up, his bright eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief as he gazed at Feng Yuxue. When he saw her face veiled, the large eyes sparkled with a dazzling light. He reached out to grasp the hem of her garment, and his melodious voice fell clearly.

  "Pretty sister, who are you? How did you find Zhe'er?"

  "Cough, cough, cough——"

  Feng Mei Xue was taken aback by his words and became flustered. Although he wore a mask, judging from his figure, it could be guessed that he was not young.

  She took another look at her own appearance and thought it was impossible for her to be compared with her sister.

  But listening to his childish tone, there's a hint of childishness, could it be that I misjudged him?

  "Pretty sister, why don't you talk to Ze'er? Don't you like Ze'er?"

  The man in red looked at Feng Yuxue with a pitiful gaze, like the dull eyes of a wounded young beast, shrouded in misty haze, densely and heavily enveloping her.

  Feng Mei Xue couldn't see his appearance, but just his pair of eyes alone had charmed her to the point of no return, extremely easily arousing one's protective instincts.

  Even the most iron-hearted person will become gentle as silk.

  Feng Mei Xue looked at his eyes that seemed to speak, and had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. It was as if there was a slight softness, slowly invading her heart.

  "Not bad at all!"

  A sweet voice, with a hint of comfort, fell on the red-clothed man's ear, making his eyes shine again. It was as if the starry sky had fallen into his eyes, shining to the extreme.

  The pure white plum blossoms at the end of the branch, with the clear wind, rustle and fall.

  Resting on their shoulders, on their clothes, the air was filled with a rich fragrance, dyeing the hems of their clothes.

  The sky is high and the clouds are light, everything looks so peaceful and beautiful. However, after Feng Mian Xue calmed down, she felt that there were many hidden auras of powerful experts lurking around.

  If it weren't for her sharp observational skills, it would be hard to notice the existence of those people.

  At the same time, she unexpectedly discovered that her visual acuity had become extremely good. When she concentrated and focused her energy, no matter how tiny something was, she could see it clearly. What's going on here?

  She didn't have the mind to ponder the changes in her eyes, but was secretly observing those people. These people seemed not to be from the same force, scattered in all directions, and were on high alert against each other.

  They had the same goal, and their eyes all fell on this man in red. If her guess was correct, then that person's goal was him!

  Who is he after all? How can he attract so many masters to monitor him?

  Just as she was puzzled, a hurried cry for help was heard, from far and near.

  "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Where are you?"

  "Your Majesty, come out quickly!"

  "Don't hide anymore! The Empress Dowager is looking for you! If you don't come out now, you won't be able to eat anything today!"

  “……”

  A flurry of footsteps came from the direction of Feng Yuxue, and she hastily tiptoed to a nearby thicket, revealing only a pair of wise eyes watching the approaching crowd.

  Those were three women dressed in palace maid attire, two of whom were not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old. The leader was the oldest, looking at least twenty-five or so, but her eyebrows and eyes were filled with a sharp aura.

  The three palace maids were all dressed alike, in long sky-blue dresses that wrapped around their bodies, with hairpins holding up their hair and Cloud Palace tokens hanging from their waists.

  The three of them had a smug look on their faces, without any sign of humility.

  Feng Mei Xue understood from her limited memories that these three palace maids should be people from the palace of the Grand Empress Dowager.

  But seeing their arrogant attitude, she felt a sudden surge of unprovoked anger.

  "No! I don't want to go back!"

  The man in red hid behind the ancient plum tree, hastily shaking his head and saying, with every gesture and movement having a somewhat childish feel. He looked timidly at the three palace maids, seemingly frightened, trembling with fear.

  If he were younger, it would be normal, but at his age, he just gives people the impression of being an idiot.

  Feng Mei Xue immediately knew the identity of this red-clothed man, who was none other than Tian Yao Huang Chao's Emperor Tian Ce, the so-called foolish emperor with a great reputation.

  "So you're hiding here! Come out now! If we miss our appointment because of you, you'll be sorry!"

  The lead palace maid shouted loudly, not treating the man in front of her as the emperor at all. Anyway, there was no one else here, so even if she did something, no one would find out, and she became more and more arrogant.

  "Hum! That's right, if you don't want to starve to death, then listen obediently!"

  "Otherwise, be careful and get beaten!"

  Seeing Tian Ce Emperor hiding behind the plum blossom tree, weak and helpless, Feng Miao Xue felt a fire burning in her heart.

  She didn't notice that a flash of cold light had flickered across the bottom of Tian Ce Emperor's eyes, which was not something an idiot could possess!
