"Remember to explain clearly next time."
Yu Yan sounded somewhat guilty as she said this.
Because she had just recalled Feng Su's words, she realized that she had misunderstood.
Yu Yan pinched his sleeve with two fingers, a hint of helplessness flickering in her peach blossom eyes.
She could have simply sent the person back without changing her mind.
This way, she can save herself some trouble.
The woman's long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and then jerked violently when Feng Su's delighted "good" came through.
Why not be a little soft-hearted towards your apprentice?
Feng Su didn't expect his master to agree to his request so quickly. He felt as if a firework had exploded in his mind and reflected in the boy's eyes.
The following day, a palace banquet
The Water Emperor arrived at the East Palace early in the morning.
He smiled as he looked at the tall and upright young man, his gaze pausing for a moment when it fell on the white jade mask that covered the young man's face.
The Empress also had such beautiful eyes back then.
Shui Lan believed that Feng Su must be as beautiful as his mother.
Feng Su stood opposite the Water Emperor, letting him scrutinize her.
In reality, all his attention was on the little palace maid behind him.
The young palace maid had her eyes half-closed, her features delicate and pretty, and she wore a light pink palace maid dress with her hair all pulled back.
"Xiao Su, why don't you take off your mask?"
Since meeting Feng Su yesterday, he had considered the myriad reasons why he wore a mask. Perhaps it was to keep a low profile, or perhaps it was for some mission.
It was only when he returned to his bedchamber that he suddenly realized that he had been so focused on talking to Xiao Su that he had completely forgotten to look at her.
The Water Emperor's eyes were filled with undisguised anticipation, his gaze burning.
Feng Su finally came to his senses. He looked at the Water Emperor, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"you do not know?"
The boy's voice contained a deeper meaning that the Water Emperor couldn't understand—"Oh, hello"—which sounded like sarcasm, and perhaps only sarcasm.
Upon realizing this, the Water Emperor's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
What should he know?
It seemed he didn't know, so Feng Su composed himself.
"Let's go, we can't pick them off."
Even if he doesn't feel pain, there's no reason for him to casually expose his scars to others.
The Water Emperor was extremely disappointed.
The palace maid following behind Feng Su glanced up at the young man's back.
She didn't know when, but he had grown from a little dumpling that she could casually hold by the scruff of his neck into a young man with a mind full of wisdom.
Yu Yan thought that in a few years, she could retire gracefully.
With her current level of cultivation, it's time for her to settle down and find an opportunity to break through her bottleneck.
For some reason, Feng Su suddenly felt a pang of panic and abruptly stopped in his tracks.
Yu Yan didn't notice and almost bumped into someone's back.
She looked up and saw her apprentice turning around and looking at her.
His eyes looked as if he had been abandoned.
The pretty young palace maid blinked innocently, and a soft laugh came from ahead.
A large hand was about to land on her head, and Yu Yan quickly took a step back.
--"presumptuous."
The palace maid glared angrily, and this expression was truly adorable in Feng Su's eyes.
"I'm sorry, Master, I have overstepped my bounds."
Feng Su withdrew his hand somewhat disappointedly, his fingertips rubbing together slightly.
He regretted that moment of hesitation and trepidation when he made his move; otherwise, he would have already touched the top of the other person's head.
Feng Su gazed ahead, his eyes dimming slightly. He feared he would never have another chance.
The Water Emperor noticed that no one was following him, and when he turned around, he saw his son striding towards him.
A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"By the way, Xiao Su, why did you only bring one palace maid? Father Emperor clearly arranged so many for you."
The palace maid, who was rubbing her hair, paused upon hearing this.
