He spent his entire life in that Taoist temple, living a life of quiet cultivation, and all the people he met were ordinary folks.
Where have I ever seen such a graceful and beautiful woman as Luo Bao, whose every move exudes unparalleled elegance?
That's why he was so stunned and speechless for a moment, his mind went blank, and he just stared at you, completely lost his composure.
Upon hearing Feng Qingyun's explanation, Qin Qianlu felt as if her heart had been stuffed into a tangled mess, and a wave of helplessness, both amused and exasperated, surged over her.
She thought to herself that this reason was so far-fetched that it was unbelievable, like trying to force a square tenon into a round mortise—completely incompatible.
However, even though she rationally found the reason utterly absurd, she unconsciously chose to temporarily set aside her many doubts.
Since Feng Qingyun was so certain that Master Xuwu was not a malicious person with any ill intentions, she really didn't want to waste any more effort investigating.
She simply suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and ignored the strange gaze of the Taoist Master Xuwu, which felt like a thorn in her back and as if he wanted to see through her.
Instead, attention was forcibly shifted to other ongoing affairs of the court.
The court was filled with a solemn atmosphere, with the officials looking solemn and like statues, quietly waiting for the proceedings to begin.
However, when Feng Qingyun's seemingly absurd and laughable words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, they reached everyone's ears with a "thud."
Their expressions froze instantly, as if frozen in time.
Immediately afterwards, their mouths twitched violently and uncontrollably, as if an invisible force was forcibly pulling at their facial muscles.
These officials, who had long served in the court, weathered countless storms, and were well-versed in worldly affairs, were filled with an indescribable sense of astonishment and confusion.
They pondered to themselves that Master Xuwu always presented himself as an otherworldly and ethereal being, as if he were a celestial being who had stepped out of a Taoist classic.
He was usually detached from worldly desires and held a detached attitude towards all things in the world, as if all the world's prosperity and noise could not stir his heartstrings.
Now, some people are saying that he stared at Jinrui Zhaowang so uncomfortably simply because he was good-looking.
It's as if their souls have been stolen away; this is utterly ridiculous and absurd.
What shocked and disbelieved them even more was that Prince Jinrui Zhao, who was known in everyone's eyes as a man of exceptional intelligence and meticulousness, was...
At this moment, they actually believed such an absurd reason without reservation.
The ministers were filled with helplessness and confusion, but due to the occasion, they could not directly express their true thoughts and could only sigh inwardly.
I was struck by how incredibly naive His Highness Prince Zhao was in certain matters.
So naive, like a child who has never known the ways of the world, so easily believing what others say, it's both infuriating and laughable.
At this moment, Master Xuwu heard the surging, wavering doubts in Qin Qianluo's heart.
His once calm and composed face was instantly rippled as if a pebble had been thrown into it.
He was slightly taken aback at first, then a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, an astonishment like a brilliant firework suddenly bursting in the night sky, instantly illuminating his originally calm eyes.
His mind seemed to be caught in a sudden storm, falling into brief chaos.
Subconsciously, he wanted to turn around abruptly and ask questions, trying to find out what was on his mind.
Fortunately, Yu Ji was perceptive and observant, keenly noticing the subtle actions of Master Xu Wu and the intentions behind his impending words.
Yu Ji flashed like a bolt of black lightning, and before anyone could react, she swiftly and silently approached Master Xu Wu's ear.
She lowered her voice and explained quickly and clearly, her voice like a gentle breeze brushing past your ear.
Yet each word entered Master Xuwu's ears clearly and forcefully, as if each word carried an invisible power, attempting to sort out this chaotic situation.
As Master Xuwu listened intently to Yu Ji's explanation, he nodded slightly, his expression gradually shifting from initial shock to thoughtful understanding.
After Yu Ji finally finished speaking, a look of "I knew it" appeared in his eyes.
He thought to himself: This woman is indeed no ordinary person.
Just as he had sorted out some thoughts in his mind, and before he had fully recovered from his deep contemplation,
A clear, melodious, yet ethereal girl's voice, like a bolt of lightning piercing the dark night sky, suddenly exploded in his mind without warning.
