IN THE PAST, just meeting him alone made Lan Lingxi tremble violently. But now? The timid girl calmly answered every word from Huang Taihou. That made Liang Feng Mian unable to help but ask in his heart.
Actually, it was not only Liang Feng Mian who asked that question. All of them who were there except for Gu Shan Bing were also shocked by Lan Lingxi's change in attitude.
Has her passing over the past year changed the girl? But what was it was possible considering that any means to teach Lan Hua always ended in failure.
They could not help but wonder about what kind of amazing event made such an unreliable person what he was now? The change at this time is incredible. Could he have had the enlightenment of an immortal as in the stories the storyteller recites in the tea house?
Liang Feng Mian spread his thoughts. For the moment there are things that must be superior. This matter should he ask Lan Lingxinanti directly. It was not good for them to talk about this in front of the crowd.
So, the Huang Taihou only smiled faintly. “Good, you have experienced many things. You must be tired, then let's go inside. Later in the night there will be a banquet to welcome the return of the two of you.”
“Good, Zumu!” Gu Shan Bing replied. Yang Xiuhanya nodded as a sign of agreement.
Everyone dispersed and continued their work. They will be busy with the banquet held later tonight.
Gu Shan Bing and Yang Xiu followed Liang Feng Mian because there was something they had to talk about. They headed to a Pavilion where Huang Taihou lived.
The servants had prepared everything. They sit in a fairly luxurious room with all the trinkets that adorn.
The room was elegant, just like its owner who was also elegant and full of decisiveness, prestige and elegance as should a member of the Imperial family in the palace.
Tea cups were immediately filled for the three different age people with the highest position in Hong land. Yang Xiu himself was already sitting quietly and leisurely beside Gu Shan Bing, facing off against Liang Feng Mian. It made Huang Taihou more interested to know what happened that changed the Empress' attitude, he also suspected that the young girl in front of him was not Lan Lingxi.
What happened to this kid? Or who is he? About so the question in his mind could not believe seeing Lan Lingxi's obvious change in attitude. And the change that even a small action to his aura was somehow felt familiar to him.
The atmosphere in the room was silent as the three of them enjoyed the tea in a special small cup to brew the tea. Their movements were almost the same, elegant, graceful and authoritative.
The servants who were in the room did not dare to look at the three. Seeing that, the Huang Taihou waved his hand telling them to come out of the room.
They certainly obey orders immediately, otherwise do not expect the head will remain in their bodies.
“Ah-Bing, how are you?” He was talking first. It's natural, because they haven't seen each other for a year.
Gu Shan Bing also replied calmly. “Very good as before.” He put the tea cup on the table.
“I heard you were hurt.” Back Liang Feng Mian opened his voice with a worried tone.
“Mn, but thanks to the Empress' help, I have now fully recovered. Zumu No need to worry.” Gu Shan Bing's answer still remained calm, he clasped Liang Feng Mian's hand which was just across the small table not far from him, hoping that the woman would not put him into a mind burden. He knew how much his Zumunya struggle was in raising him. That was why Gu Shan Bing loved Liang Feng Mian so much. The woman had become both a father and a mother to him.
“Good.” Liang Feng Mian nodded weakly. He also stroked Gu Shan Bing's hand which was clasping his hand. “You know who it is?” She asked.
Gu Shan Bing suddenly changed his countenance to become more serious. “Quiet Zumu, I already know. This time the person will not be able to escape again.”
Liang Feng Mian understood, it was only that person who always dared to harass the royal family. Never bored and afraid, always looking for trouble. That person was a troublesome enemy, extremely cunning like a snake and slippery like an eel. This time he had to entrust it to Gu Shan Bing. That person had dared to threaten, so he had to accept the payment of his debt and interest if he had dared to face his grandson.
Yang Xiu himself was still listening quietly as the two granny and granddaughter couples chatted, they were as if they were not at all afraid if Yang Xiu were to reveal what he heard from the two. Well, after all Yang Xiu did not really care about it. So , he calmly picked up some soft bread to eat, then sat down casually in the middle of those high-ranking people.
Liang Feng Mian nodded. Just that then his gaze turned to Yang Xiu's figure with Lan Lingxi's body.
“Empress Lan Lingxi?” call him.
Yang Xiu looked over. “Ya!” the answer was quick, not nervous or depressed at all even though the woman gave off a slight aura of emphasis to intimidate and test her. He raised both corners of his lips.
“Ah-Bing, you should go back to your residence and rest first. Zumu wants to talk about something with the Empress.”
Gu Shan Bing was surprised by Liang Feng Mian's request. What did her Zuma want to do with Lan Lingxi? Has that strange girl made a mistake before? “Zumu ..” He wanted to refuse but his words were stopped first by Liang Feng Mian.
“This is the business of fellow women,” firmly so that Gu Shan Bing complies.
Well, Gu Shan Bing finally turned around to leave the room feeling uneasy. Let's just hope his Zumunya doesn't do anything bad to Lan Lingxi. All this time he had seen how powerful Liang Feng Mian was in teaching him as well as his leadership. He will not tolerate the slightest mistake.
Moreover, he had also felt an aura of intimidation from the Zumu who was trying to suppress Lan Lingximeski vaguely. He became worried. It's just that he can't fight that Zumu who raised him.
People say Gu Shan Bing was a Tyrannical Emperor who did not fear death even once. Yet no one knew that what a Tyrannical Emperor feared the most was his own grandmother, Liang Feng Mian. He was afraid, respectful and admired the woman.
He who does not like women so much for reasons of weakness, but greatly admires the Zumu who is so strong to see. And now there was one woman in her eyes, none other than her own Empress who had lived with her for half a month in the wilderness. Hmm well, it would be more precise that he admired Yang Xiu who was now in the form of a woman.
After Gu Shan Bing's departure, the room was suddenly silent again. Liang Feng Mian also chased away the servants inside the room. Now only stayed with Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu put his cup back on the table so elegantly. “So? What will we talk about, Zumu~?” He smiled meaningfully.
Liang Feng Mian snorted at Yang Xiu's words as if mocking him. “Don't pretend to be stupid anymore, Sir. I know it's you,” he said in annoyance.
Yang Xiu still smiled taking the soft bread and stuffing it in his mouth to the brim. Lost all the elegance that was seen earlier. He returned to being a Yang Xiu who was bar-bar.
“Hmm, this is very good. Looks like I'll have to ask for the recipe from the chef.” He praised in the middle of chewing as if he had not heard what Liang Feng Mian had just said.
Liang Feng Mian was getting annoyed. “Master!!” He impatiently shouted ignoring the shocked servants outside the room.
Yang Xiu frowned strangely. “Sheng Xie, why are you being so careless? Don't you know that the walls also have ears even in my place they already have eyes.” He said considering that in the modern world there are already many CCTV that become the other eyes of mankind.
Although annoyed, but Liang Feng Mian agreed. This time he was a little careless, almost making a meaningless furore. Just maybe because meeting someone he hadn't seen for a long time made him remember the past, and subconsciously become his impulsive self again when he was young.
Liang Feng Mian waved his hand immediately. “The ears have been made deaf and the eyes have become blind,” he said. He had already made an array in the room so that their conversation was not interrupted, not worrying anymore if the secret became leaked.
The moment Liang Feng Mian wanted to open his voice again questioned why Yang Xiu looked like this. He wanted clarity but his speech was swallowed back in his throat, he could not interrupt the speech of the person sitting casually in front of him.
“What year is it now?” Yang Xiu wanted to know how long it had passed the moment after his first visit to this place.
Liang Feng Mian exhaled, he had to remain calm. Do not let your emotions evaporate and become uncontrollable. It's been a long time since he felt this way. “It has been a hundred years more after the departure of Mr.” he explained.
“It's been that long, huh? Very cruel time difference.” Yang Xiu shook his head. The time in the modern world with the ancient world is far too far, of course.
In the modern world, Yang Xiu had only spent about ten years, whereas here was already a hundred years passed. One in ten, how much different. He can't help, because it's nature's rule. It should be so that the situation remains balanced.
Yang Xiu closed his eyes slowly. It was then suddenly his entire body was coated in a transparent blue light, slightly blinding to the eyes if noticed for too long.
During the three breaths of light that enveloped his body slowly disappeared. After that a different figure appeared there. A man with long white hair touching the floor sat down so elegantly and honorably. The grand aura shrouding him added to the noble impression there.
He is the true figure of Yang Xiu, the Second Prince of the great Sky Ruler, having the official name ‘Aixin’ ( ⁇ )which means Loving.
Yang Xiu opened his eyes and saw a blue iris that seemed to be able to swallow the vast ocean but was also soothing for those who saw it.
Yang Xiu's clothes had also been changed into a wide black robe that was in stark contrast to his white hair that looked like a collection of silk threads plunging down from the head, extremely smooth. The appearance is so stunning and if viewed for a long time can cause a feeling of calm and comfort.
