“Look at me and answer my question.”
Xuanyuan Huanyu frowned, quite dissatisfied with Gao Zhun's behavior of turning his face away from her. She thought that her Emperor's True Eye hadn't been activated enough. After all, she didn't like herself in this state and always restrained herself. But now it seemed that the person in front of her was not someone that could be shaken by the restrained Emperor's True Eye. There was no other way but to let go completely.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Huanyu had changed again. Her imperial aura remained, but her charm was even more pronounced. Her sexy, husky voice was like a cat's paw teasing Gao Zhun's heartstrings. Finally, Gao Zhun's face turned as red as if it could bleed. After a long while, he stammered, "Miss Xuanyuan, um...we...don't seem to be that familiar yet..." The more Gao Zhun spoke, the clearer his words became, and the faster he spoke. Before long, he uttered the last sentence.
"Miss Xuanyuan, I am still young and have no experience so far, so could you give me some time to prepare?"
Xuan Yuan Huan Yu stared at the person with a livid face, who was filled with hope and shyness. She wished she could ruin her image by taking off her shoes and slapping the soles of her shoes hard against that hateful face. If she still hadn't realized that her Emperor's True Eye was completely ineffective against the other person, then she would have been unworthy of being called one of the top ten geniuses in the history of the Xuan Yuan family.
She swore this was absolutely the most humiliating moment of her life, bar none. This person in front of her was utterly despicable. He hadn't fallen for her illusion, yet he pretended so convincingly, only revealing the truth after she had completely exposed her ugly side. Heh, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu withdrew her Emperor's True Eye. In Gao Zhun's perception, the enchanting and seductive atmosphere vanished instantly, and the beauty's expression seemed even colder than usual. Startled, she quickly got up to say goodbye and rushed out the door, heading straight for Ah Zhong's room for comfort.
"Waaah... Ah Zhong, I was bullied by that Xuan Yuan Huan Yu. You have to avenge Master."
As soon as he saw Gao Zhun appear at the door, Ah Zhong heard his voice. Shocked, he didn't ask what had happened between Gao Zhun and Xuan Yuan Huan Yu while he was away. Instead, after a moment of silence, he honestly said, "Master, Ah Zhong can't beat Xuan Yuan Huan Yu."
So, let me avenge you when you die. Ah Zhong kept these words to himself and never uttered them.
"Okay, I was just saying." Before he even stepped into the room, Gao Zhun closed the door behind him and went back inside.
Why does my master look a little strange? Ah Zhong thought to himself, and soon that familiar voice came through the phone—
"Ah Zhong, hurry up and pack your valuables and get ready to run away. I just played a trick on that Xuan Yuan Huan Yu. If we don't run now, it will be too late."
Rewind three seconds. Just as Gao Zhun was about to step into Ah Zhong's room, she suddenly remembered what she had said in Xuan Yuan Huan Yu's room. It didn't seem like much when she said it, but now, thinking back on it carefully, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and ran back to her own room.
So why did she have to be so reckless as to tease Xuanyuan Huanyu? She could have just said she wasn't under his illusion. Instead, she acted like she was being seduced and said those things! Good heavens, what kind of bewitching influence did she have to dare to joke around with a female monarch like that…
No, no, the best of the thirty-six stratagems is to flee. So she quickly began packing her things and immediately sent a telepathic message to Ah Zhong, hoping to escape before Xuan Yuan Huan Yu could react.
However, things didn't go as planned. Before Gao Zhun could even open the door, it was pushed open from the other side. Gao Zhun didn't recognize the person, but she knew who it was. After all, it was one of the seven people who stood behind Xuan Yuan Huan Yu that day. What was Xuan Yuan's name again? Uh, it doesn't matter if she can't remember. The important thing is... she's been caught red-handed!
"Hehe, what brings Young Master Xuanyuan to my door?" The other party was at the late Golden Core stage. Gao Zhun, who had never fought before, dared not be presumptuous and could only put on a smiling face and try to be gentle.
The visitor was also puzzled by Gao Zhun's seemingly imminent departure. He had only impulsively tried to check if the door was locked, and when he did, it turned out to be unlocked. Feeling a little embarrassed, he cupped his hands in a slightly awkward manner and said, "Miss Huanyu asked me to invite Young Master Huangzhu to come along. She said that you went to her room just now to discuss this matter, and after reaching an agreement, you said you needed to go back to your room to pack. I didn't expect Young Master Huangzhu to act so quickly. Are you afraid that if you're late, someone else will snatch the benefits?"
"Hehe, hehe..." Gao Zhun clenched his fist in his heart: Xuan Yuan Huan Yu, you are really good.
However, what could she and Ah Zhong do besides complain? Didn't Ah Zhong say he couldn't beat Xuan Yuan Huan Yu? As for her, let alone Xuan Yuan Huan Yu, even this little minion under Xuan Yuan Huan Yu's orders would be hard to beat. Now she was just a fish on someone else's chopping board, and could only let herself be slaughtered.
So when Ah Zhong finished getting ready and went out, he saw Gao Zhun smiling broadly and saying to him, "Ah Zhong, let's go. We're with the Xuanyuan family, so it will be much safer on the way."
Ah Zhong twitched the corner of his mouth. Who was the person who had just sent him a telepathic message, telling him to run away quickly because he had teased Xuan Yuan Huan Yu? It wasn't this person in front of him, was it?
Contrary to the countless scenarios Gao Zhun had imagined, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu did not do anything to her with any intention of revenge. In fact, the aloof and beautiful woman didn't even give her a second glance the entire way. This made Gao Zhun overjoyed. The weight that had been hanging over her chest was lifted, and she began to bully her too-young servant, Ah Zhong, without any guilt. She had an extremely pleasant journey.
After several days of traveling together, the Xuanyuan family had witnessed Gao Zhun's unreliability firsthand. Each of them secretly grumbled about why Xuanyuan Huanyu would invite such a person along. Although he was still a boy, he was far too unruly. Just look at the reaction of her servant; even this one person seemed to be having trouble handling him. Tsk tsk… Fortunately, she didn't target them. Perhaps she was wary of their status, or perhaps there was some agreement between her and Xuanyuan Huanyu. In any case, they were happy to have some peace and quiet, though they would occasionally cast disdainful glances at their master and sympathetic looks at their servant.
