Chapter 41.2 : Water Edge Kingdom Visits
"You couldn"t find anything?" The countenance beneath the mask darkened imperceptibly. Every little frown and every faint smile from the person in the painting was so moving but unfortunately, it was afterall still just a painting, where one was able to see, but not able to touch.
Qing Ye Li sighed softly. "Where are you….."
"Highness."
Ah Jin"s voice came in from outside the door. "Just received news that the Water Edge"s delegation led by General Wei will be reaching the Imperial Capital in another hour."
"Alright." Qing Ye Li kept his thoughts away and his tall and slender figure stood up from the chair, turning back into the high and mighty, stern faced Duke of Vast Seas, one not p.r.o.ne to smiling or words.
The people of the Water Edge Kingdom had come, and the atmosphere in the Capital City was a little frenzied.
For no other reason than the fact that the one person who had come was the G.o.d of slaughter, the Duke of Vast Seas whose fame drove everyone throughout the lands to tremble in their boots. That was a person whom even the Emperor himself had to be wary of.
It was rumoured that the Duke of Vast Seas looked vicious and ferocious, and that was why he always wore a mask before people. Otherwise, people who saw his real countenance would have their very lives completely frightened out of them.
Adults had often used that to scare disobedient children, telling them if they continue to be naughty, they would send them to the Duke of Vast Seas, whereby the children would then not dare to be mischievous and be up to any more tricks.
Hence it could very well be imagined, how big an effect this visit had on the people, when even young children have heard of his infamy.
The Green Wave Emperor had specially arranged for the Crown Prince and the Duke of Eternal Peace to go forth and receive the people from the Water Edge Kingdom, in a show of respect.
The entire Water Edge Kingdom"s grand delegation consisted of a good hundred people, all dressed in the same deep blue military uniform, with one lone man on a horse leading in front, his face stalwart and rugged, his figure toweringly burly while exuding a austere aura. The man was one of the Water Edge Kingdom"s generals who was skilled in warfare and battle, a born warrior, and a highly trusted aide of the Duke of Vast Seas.
Behind him were two beautiful and luxurious palanquins, each carried by eight people treading with firm and steady steps. The one in front was light blue in colour, which looked highly intricate and pretty. That must be that Water Edge Kingdom"s Ninth Princess inside where rumours about her claimed that she was almost as divine as a G.o.ddess.
The palanquin before was silver and it looked a lot more simple, but looked grand and unpretentious. The indistinct figure of a person could be seen faintly inside and with the occasional breeze that blew past, the silver hair of that person stood out strikingly.
People in the world all knew that the Water Edge Kingdom"s Duke of Vast Seas was born with a head of extraordinary silver hair, and a pair of eyes that was a deep green like those of a wolf.
Even though they were unable to get a clear look, that silver hair had already proven his ident.i.ty.
"That evil demon. I get so angry my entire body hurts the moment I see him." Yu Xiao Ning clenched her teeth together, her large limpid eyes brewing with rage.
But after saying that, she then noticed that she was not getting any response. She turned her head around in puzzlement, to find Yan Ning Luo who was always as expressionless as a mountain of ice staring with her cold indifferent eyes, focused unwaveringly in a particular direction, or rather, a particular person.
[And the gaze of those eyes were actually showing a tinge of….. liking? !]
Yu Xiao Ning just could not believe her own eyes. [This woman who had only ever shown interest in cultivation was actually capable of showing such an expression as if she had just seen her sweetheart?]
Yu Xiao Ning took a deep breath and then asked cautiously: "Little Ning, I am talking to you here. Who are you looking at?"
Yan Ning Luo seemed to have only just heard Yu Xiao Ning saying something and she then turned her gaze back, her sparkling eyes looking a little joyful. She looked at Yu Xiao Ning and then slowly revealed a smile. "I have finally….. seen him again, and I will never be left clueless on how to find him again."
"What did you say?" Yu Xiao Ning was a little shocked as her eyes flared wide, her heart seemingly having realized something but just did not dare to believe it.
