The pupils of his eyes were pure black, with a hint of malevolence in them, just looking at him with a half-smile, as if everything in the world was just a plaything in his palm.
That’s right, the owner of these eyes, was the man in purple—Tan You, Second Prince of the Heavenly Realm.
His appearance was naturally handsome, although it was not as breathtaking as Bai Qimeng’s, but there was a faint sense of nobility in his gestures. As soon as his eyelashes opened it was as if all the stars were contained in his eyes, and the moment they lowered, it was as if ripples appeared in the center of the lake, truly beautiful and graceful.
Liu Guang only stole a quick look, then quickly bowed his head. He knew at a glance that this person was extremely difficult to deal with, he secretly broke into a cold sweat for Bai Qimeng.
And Tan You’s playful eyes kept lingering on Liu Guang’s body, he said with a slight smile as he twirled the wine glass with white fingers like jade relaxedly: “It’s just a few assassins, why panic? Are you not afraid of being ridiculed if you’re in such a disarray? “
His voice was soft and pleasant, but every word he uttered was clearly heard by everyone.
The surroundings fell silent for a moment.
Those people under Tan You’s hands all returned to their original positions and went back to waiting with lowered heads, as if nothing had happened.
And Bai Qimeng, who had escaped a catastrophe, finally came back to his senses, clapped his palms, and laughed saying, “That’s right, we can’t let a few assassins spoil His Highness’s interest. Come on, come on, what are you doing still standing there in a daze? Dance as you’re meant, drink as you wish.”
As soon as this remark came out, the terrified musicians had no choice but to sit back in their original places and continue playing the piano music, the beautiful singing and dancing women changed to another batch.
After the previous farce, Bai Qimeng felt a little uneasy, and while fanning his fan, he wondered: “It’s strange, my place is usually very peaceful and there are very few such things happening. Why did the Second Highness came today and happened to encounter such a situation?”
”Most likely, it’s aimed at me.” Tan You drank the wine in his glass in one sip, and smiled slowly, “My younger brothers like to play this kind of trick the most. It’s really interesting, isn’t it?”
Bai Qimeng heard that there was something in his words, felt unable to respond for a moment, so he just laughed it off and turned to other topics.
The two of them talked and laughed while drinking, and before they knew it, the night was getting dark.
Tan You raised his head and looked out the window, instead of getting up and leaving, he sighed slightly: “Today’s time flies so fast, it’s rare for me to leave the Illusory Dream Island for once, I’m really reluctant…”
Bai Qimeng was a little drunk at this time, before the other finished speaking, he blurted out: “If Second Highness doesn’t mind, it’s not impossible to stay for a few more days.”
”Oh, will I not be a disturbance?”
”Of course not.” Bai Qimeng was bewitched at the sight of a beauty and he waved his hand without hesitation, “Liu Guang, you can go and arrange some rooms for the distinguished guests.”
Liu Guang frowned, extremely disapproving in his heart, but he had no choice, but to obey.
Tan You seemed to have seen through his thoughts, so he laughed softly, his gaze brushed right past him without a trace, as he said with an upright expression: “General White Tiger is so enthusiastic, seems like I have no choice but to use your hospitality.”
The tone of his speech was calm and unsurprised, as if he had been waiting for Bai Qimeng’s words.
Liu Guang knew this clearly, but knew that Bai Qimeng couldn’t be persuaded, so he could only grit his teeth and turn around to arrange a place to live. He had always been in charge of all the affairs in the mansion, so it was certainly not a problem to arrange a few rooms, but after all was finished, it was already the dead of night.
The banquet in the main hall had already ended.
Liu Guang was always thinking about Bai Qimeng, he was afraid that he would really offend the Second Highness, so he didn’t care about being tired and hurried towards the main palace, wanting to remind him a few words as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door of the room, he suddenly stopped in his footsteps.
The palace was not lit and nothing could be seen, but anyone with normal hearing could hear the intermittent ambiguous sounds.
There was a chill down Liu Guang’s back and his legs suddenly weighed more than a thousand catties, he couldn’t take a single step more.
He could only smile wryly.
How could he have forgotten?
Bai Qimeng played and sang in amours every night, at this moment he must be embracing a beautiful woman in a romantic play, so why should he worry?
That’s right, he was just a small guard, who came and left on order, even if he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he still couldn’t say a word.
Just a door away.
But he was so far away from that person, no matter how much obsession he had, it was just a delusion.
Liu Guang stood quietly outside the door, feeling his hands and feet were cold, the sharp pain penetrated his almost numbed heart. It wasn’t until the noise in the room gradually subsided that he twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled self-deprecatingly, turned and walked on another road.
He experienced many things that day and he was already very tired, but he didn’t feel sleepy, so he could only move to sit by the pond in the back garden, staring at the clear water in a daze.
Under the moonlight, his face was reflected in the clear water.
A slightly pale face, delicate and normal facial features.
No matter how one looked at it, it was very ordinary.
Sometimes he also wondered why he had such a face after working so hard to create a human figure?
If he was more handsome, with pearly teeth and beautiful lips and a picturesque face, just like the beauties in Bai Qimeng’s mouth, would he be favored by that person? Or, in the end, still be an insignificant nobody?
While he was in a trance, strange footsteps suddenly came from behind him.
Liu Guang was taken aback, and when he looked back, he saw a man stepping on the moon, with a faint moonlight shining on his purple robe, the nobleness in his eyebrows and eyes was natural as if he was born with it as he looked at him without blinking.
Liu Guang frowned, immediately put his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and asked coldly: “It’s late at night, why isn’t the Second Highness resting yet?”
”The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, I felt like going out for a stroll.” Tan You went straight to Liu Guang, and then stood still without haste, glanced around, and said with a smile, “Now it seems that the harvest is not small.”
”What’s the meaning?”
With a smile on Tan You’s lips, he tilted his head to look at Liu Guang, and asked back: “I heard that there is a guard beside Bai Qimeng, who is transformed from the pearl on his forehead, it must be you?”
