Mu Ruyue watched as the two figures disappeared and promptly left the Dan Book World, heading for the study...
Inside the study, Yi Shaochen was seated before his desk, his slender fingers lightly flipping through the books on it, a look of earnest concentration on his fair, jade-like countenance.
The quiet sunlight stread in from outside, casting its rays upon the man’s upright figure. He seed to sense her approach, slightly lifting his eyes.
In that instant, a gleam flashed through his eyes, and he hastily stood up from the desk, "How did it go?"
Mu Ruyue’s lips curled slightly, "Take this elixir."
Swish!
An elixir shot towards Yi Shaochen, who raised his hand to catch it, and without a word, swallowed it down.
The elixir lted upon entering his mouth, turning into a warm current that wrapped around his lower abdon, but beyond that, there were no other sensations. His gaze carried a hint of confusion.
"Is that enough?"
"Find a woman and try it out, then you’ll know if it works or not," Mu Ruyue suggested with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
A rare tinge of embarrassnt crossed Yi Shaochen’s handso, jade-like face. He cleared his throat with a couple of coughs and said, "Right, about the man you’re looking for, are there any other special features? A man like him should be easy to find, but my people haven’t noticed him anywhere within the Four Countries. Could it be that he has already..."
Yi Shaochen very much wanted to ask if he might have already died.
But in the end, he didn’t say it...
Mu Ruyue pondered for a mont, then said, "A silver mask!"
"What?" Yi Shaochen was taken aback, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Mu Ruyue lifted her gaze slightly, shooting a direct look at the man before her, "Have you seen any man wearing a silver mask?"
"A silver mask?" Yi Shaochen’s brows furrowed, then he stiffened for a mont, "Could you be talking about him?"
"Who?" Mu Ruyue’s breathing tightened abruptly, and she asked in a deep voice.
"The Ghost King!" Yi Shaochen frowned slightly, "This Ghost King is a rather special individual. He appeared in Lingyun Country a year ago, and whatever he did made my father hold him in high esteem. He even granted him the title of a Prince of a different kind. No one knows the Ghost King’s na or what he looks like. The man has appeared a few tis, always wearing a silver mask. So say he’s too ugly to show his face, but others claim they’ve glimpsed the Ghost King’s features by chance and he’s so beautiful it’s celestial. Coupled with his mysterious aura, he’s been dubbed the number one beauty in Lingyun Country."
Mu Ruyue’s heart suddenly trembled.
Could the Ghost King of Wujie be Wuchen?
"No, that’s not right," Yi Shaochen shook his head slightly, "The Ghost King has no wife, and even the Ghost Prince Manor is solely populated by n. Many rumors suggest he doesn’t fancy won, his affections lie with n, so he’s probably not the person you’re looking for..."
Mu Ruyue lifted her head to gaze at the man’s handso profile and asked, "When will the Ghost King appear? I want to et him."
Yi Shaochen’s brows lifted slightly, "He always cos and goes without a trace. No one knows when he will appear or when he will leave. Therefore, I can’t tell you about this matter. But he has been away for quite so ti, and perhaps he might return in a few days."
The Ghost King...
Mu Ruyue lowered her eyelashes slightly, suppressing the surging emotions within her heart, "I understand. I will wait here for the legendary Ghost King to appear during this ti."
