Chapter 280: Seven Emotions and Six Desires
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
One legend said that the Imperial Preceptor could have ascended to the Ninth Heaven, but because he was concerned about the world, he was willing to give up the opportunity to ascend in order to protect the Northern Kingdom. Another legend said that the Imperial Preceptor originally cultivated a clear heart and hated having seven emotions and six desires the most. When he was finally about to ascend, he broke the rules and broke his body, destroying his cultivation.
Shen Yaowei’s gaze landed lightly on Huo Junhan.
The moment Huo Junhan saw Qi Yuan enter, his expression was terrifyingly cold. After the other party sat down, he took out the token and placed it on the table.
“Actually, Your Highness Li, you don’t have to be in such a hurry to return the token.” Qi Yuan looked at Huo Junhan and smiled especially gently. “Speaking of which, 1 haven’t thanked you yet. I should have been in charge of Oriole Village previously, but 1 troubled you because I was in seclusion.”
“Imperial Preceptor, you’re overthinking. I’m helping His Majesty share his burden,” Huo Junhan said coldly.
Shen Yaowei sat at the side and could feel that Qi Yuan had been splashed with a bucket of cold water. Some of his enthusiasm had been extinguished.
However, Qi Yuan didn’t mind Huo Junhan’s coldness. His gaze turned and landed on the girl beside him.
Shen Yaowei was still secretly observing when she suddenly met Qi Yuan’s gaze. She had yet to stop chewing the pastry in her mouth. One side of her face was stuffed with snacks, and her big eyes blinked like a gluttonous squirrel.
“I remember that this is Miss Shen, right?” Qi Yuan asked with a smile.
Shen Yaowei smiled politely and nodded. “Greetings, Imperial Preceptor.”
Logically speaking, since she wasn’t an official, she should be bowing to the Imperial Preceptor.
But she was a fool. A fool always had the privilege of being a fool!
Just as Shen Yaowei thought this, she suddenly felt the coldness around Huo Junhan become stronger.
“From Miss Shen’s appearance, she must be a blessed person in the future,” Qi Yuan said as he looked deeply at Shen Yaowei.
Shen Yaowei also took another look at Qi Yuan. She realized that she couldn’t see through this person’s appearance at all.
Apart from Huo Junhan, she had never seen another person with such a mysterious appearance. However, this also proved that the Imperial Preceptor was unfathomable and must have extraordinary strength.
“His Highness Li brought Miss Shen here today. It can be seen that the two of you have a good relationship in private. Miss Shen, it’s getting late. Why don’t you stay for lunch before leaving? The new chef in the small kitchen will make many young ladies’ favorite desserts.” Qi Yuan still had a smile on his face, and his attitude was always warm and polite.
Qi Yuan was clearly asking a question, but he was looking at Huo Junhan with anticipation in his eyes, while Huo Junhan was expressionless and sat motionless. He didn’t even want to look at Qi Yuan. Shen Yaowei felt that something was wrong.
However, she couldn’t tell what was unusual between the two of them.
Just as Shen Yaowei was wondering if she should agree or reject his invitation, Huo Junhan pulled her hand and stood up.
“The token has been delivered. Goodbye.” With that, Huo Junhan pulled Shen Yaowei away.
Shen Yaowei followed behind Huo Junhao and turned to look at Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan stood rooted to the ground, his gaze on Huo Junhan. It was extremely complicated, and the aura around him seemed so lonely.
After getting into the carriage, Shen Yaowei observed Huo Junhan carefully.
The low pressure around the man didn’t improve at all. His entire body was as cold as ice, making her a little afraid.. “Junhan, why are you unhappy?”
