Chapter 307: The Concubine Does Not Harm the Country, She Only Wants to Harm the Imperial Master (XI)

"Master, Master!"

Everyone in the hall watched the emperor go mad and lose all face.

Yu Huo had seen enough of the show, so he slowly walked forward and covered his eyes with his hands: "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, these evil spirits can't hurt you for the time being."

His voice was clear and cold, which made people feel at ease for some reason.

Jiang Feng stood in the hall, coldly watching the pale, frail hand pressing against Yue Wu's face. He felt strangely uncomfortable, even wanting to step forward and remove the hand, fearing that the cowardly monarch would sully his fair skin...

At this moment, his uncontrollable possessive tendency began to overshadow his ambition.

After realizing his own thoughts, Jiang Feng was stunned.

Even the look in his eyes as he looked at the young man was slowly filled with scrutiny... and helplessness.

When Yue Wu's vision was blocked, the shrill laughter in his ears seemed to be suddenly amplified countless times. Fortunately, this was only a momentary effect. The moment he wanted to escape, the shrill laughter in his ears disappeared in an instant.

The light returned to his eyes, and those horrible and shameless criminals and women disappeared in an instant, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

He stupidly raised his head, looked up at the blind Taoist priest in front of him, and murmured softly: "Master, where are those...those ghosts?"

Yu Huo glanced at the female ghost beside him who was glaring at Yue Wu sinisterly, and curled his lips calmly: "They have been driven away by us common people."

Xu Zhaoyi, dressed in pink, squinted at him, but the threatening look still couldn't stop Yu Huo from covering his eyes and telling lies. He took out a talisman from the package that had fallen on the ground and handed it to Yue Wu, saying soothingly, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. I have a talisman to drive away ghosts. Carry it with you. Combined with your dragon energy, it will definitely protect your Majesty's life."

Jiang Feng lowered his eyelashes. For some reason, he did not bother the other party this time. Instead, he watched him perform quietly.

Yue Wu finally calmed down after not seeing the ghosts anymore. He reached out to take the talisman and asked, "Master, didn't you say that talismans are useless?"

After seeing his ability, Yue Wu changed his title from "troublemaker" back to "Taoist priest".

Yu Huo secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. Emperor Ning Yang looked tall and strong, but who would have thought that he was so afraid of death?

Tsk tsk tsk, you really can’t judge a book by its cover.

Even as he thought this, he continued to ramble on, "Your Majesty, this talisman is different from the ones you've used to deceive others. It's been blessed by me, and it has the power to ward off evil spirits. After all, I can't be by your side all the time, so please rest assured."

Yue Wu nodded, not quite understanding, and obediently put the talisman into the interlayer of his collar.

At this moment, the other party seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, this talisman must not be exposed to water or damaged, otherwise it will malfunction."

His words made Yue Wu's heart, which had just been relieved, hang high again. He asked, "What if I accidentally damage the talisman?"

Yu Huo was silent and didn't speak for a while.

Yue Wu anxiously asked, "Speak? If the talisman is broken, where should I go to find the Taoist priest?"

Yu Huo curled his lips and said, "I am currently traveling without a destination, following my heart. I really don't know how to report this to Your Majesty."

Yue Wu stood up, turned around anxiously, and decided to bribe him.

"Master, please don't leave. I will give you gold, silver, and jewelry, and also make you the Imperial Master. How about that?"

Xiao Zhuzi was so shocked that he wanted to step forward and agree on Yu Huo's behalf.

Unfortunately, there were too many ghosts surrounding the two of them, and he was scared!

Yu Huozheng showed his hesitation and sighed, "Your Majesty, I am used to being an idle wanderer and have no interest in fame, wealth or power."

Xiao Zhuzi: “…”

ah?

Jiang Feng: “..........”

Really, so pretentious!

Yue Wu, the fool, was really worried. For the sake of his own life, he anxiously asked, "What is the Taoist priest interested in?"

Yu Huo thought for a moment and said, "I just want our Daning Dynasty to become more and more prosperous."

This reason shocked Yue Wu. His lips trembled and he didn't know what to do for a moment. He subconsciously looked at Jiang Feng for help.

Sensing Yue Wu's helplessness, Jiang Feng stepped forward and tactfully offered comfort, "If you truly care about the Daning Dynasty, you should stay and assist His Majesty. This would also help you achieve your wish sooner, wouldn't it?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Yue Wu nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Master, are you willing to stay?"

Yu Huo hesitated for a moment and seemed to soften his attitude, but there seemed to be some concerns in his eyes, and he did not agree for a while.

Yue Wu's fear dissipated a lot, and his mind became more active. He said, "Master, if you have something to say, please feel free to speak."

Yu Huo then said, "Your Majesty, I came to the capital mainly because of the matter of the Cloudtop Pavilion."

Yue Wu was startled and frowned subconsciously.

In fact, the Yunding Pavilion has been impeached by many court officials since its construction, and the large-scale conscription of laborers from the people has also caused many disturbances.

The matter was suppressed only after Yue Wu killed the court officials and the rioting citizens. However, the Yunding Pavilion had already been built. If the construction was stopped at this time, not only would the beauty be unhappy, but he would also lose face. He was in a dilemma at the moment.

Just when he was at a loss for words, the young man in front of him pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, building the Cloudtop Pavilion is a perfect way to demonstrate the prestige of our Daning Dynasty. I am very happy to learn of this..."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Yue Wu and Jiang Feng were stunned, but even the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall looked up in astonishment.

In a moment, they withdrew their gaze, hiding all the thoughts of contempt or admiration in their hearts.

I despise the other party for not caring about the lives of the common people and calling him a demon.

If you praise the other person for being tactful and not meddling in other people's affairs, he will definitely be able to rise to the top.

Yu Huo seemed completely unaware of this, and changed the subject, seeming a little regretful.

"However, I observed the celestial phenomena at night and calculated that there was a problem with the location of the Cloudtop Pavilion. I couldn't help but feel very worried, so I rushed here from afar to see if there was any solution."

Yue Wu was intrigued and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, Master, why did you choose the wrong location?"

Yu Huo pursed his lips, his expression subtle: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of Tai Sui?"

Jiang Feng narrowed his eyes and asked before Yue Wu could speak: "But is it the immortal who controls the land of the mortal world?"

"That's right." Yu Huo turned his head and said, "Under the Cloudtop Pavilion, Tai Sui is sleeping. If we disturb Tai Sui's head... I'm afraid it will lead to a huge disaster!"

After the young man finished speaking, he shook his head as if giving a wry smile. His fair profile was handsome, and because his eyes were covered by a thin strip of cloth, he had a faint otherworldly aura that made it difficult to look away.

Even though the other party was talking nonsense seriously, Jiang Feng still thought he was very handsome.

Perhaps it was because of this that this person had become somewhat worldly-minded, which was why people were so ambitious and wanted to break through his superficial appearance and bring him to his knees...
