Chapter 535: Chapter 537 Gentle and Jade-like Yi Shaochen (1)
Seeing Mu Ruyue’s indifferent expression, the Peacock Girl’s face suddenly changed color. Just as she was about to say something more, a cool, thin voice came from outside the door.
“Liu Yu, what are you doing here?”
The Peacock Girl glared fiercely at Mu Ruyue on the bed, then turned her head to look at the man walking towards the room. At the same time, Mu Ruyue also looked up…
The moment she saw the man, two phrases flashed through her mind.
Gentle as jade, graceful and elegant.
The man was dressed in magnificent brocade clothes, holding a folding fan, his handsome face perfect as a carved jade, as exquisite as porcelain. However, those very jade-like features were set off by a pair of deep, peach-blossom eyes, which added a seductive air to his demeanor.
“Brother Shaochen…”
The Peacock Girl changed face quickly, shedding her previous ferocity and said with a pitiful voice, “Who is this woman, and why did you bring her into Prince Mansion?”
And she’s so ugly…
Yi Shaochen’s handsome face wore a gentle smile, but his eyes darkened slightly, “Liu Yu, which woman I bring back is my own freedom, you have no right to interfere in such matters!”
“But, Brother Shaochen, I am the destined Princess Consort Chen, you…”
“Guards!” Yi Shaochen closed his folding fan as his eyes grew darker, “Please escort Lady Liu out!”
Watching Liu Yu being taken away by two guards, Mu Ruyue shook her head helplessly. It seemed that no matter where she went, there were always so many fools.
“Have you had enough of the show?”
A warm yet cool voice swept past her ear, snapping Mu Ruyue back to reality. She frowned and turned, meeting a pair of somewhat gloomy peach-blossom eyes.
“Are you from the Ouyang Family?” Yi Shaochen’s lips curled into a cold smile, his narrowed eyes revealing a chill.
“The Ouyang Family?” Mu Ruyue frowned and then chuckled coldly, “Sorry, I have never heard of any Ouyang Family.”
Yi Shaochen didn’t care about her denial, his handsome face smiling gently, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.
Cold…
This man felt very cold, as if the warmth on the outside was merely his disguise, and the real him was bone-chillingly cold.
“If you are not a person from the Ouyang Family, then how come you were found by me within the realms of the Ouyang Family? And if I’m not mistaken, the thing on your finger should be a Space Ring, how could you have such a thing if you’re not a Martial Artist?”
The man’s lips lifted, his explanation clear and coherent.
Mu Ruyue’s brows knit together slightly. He had picked her up on the Ouyang Family’s territory, but it was probably because of that door. Moreover, Murong Qingchu had told her that not everyone in Wujie was a Martial Artist, only those few families had Martial Artists.
It seemed the Ouyang Family was one of them…
“Sorry, I truly don’t know what this Ouyang Family you are speaking of is. I am indeed a Martial Artist, but I have always been cultivating in the mountains with my master. This time, I descended from the mountain and accidentally got injured, collapsing in that place,” Mu Ruyue said, slightly lifting her eyelashes, lying without a blush or skip in her heartbeat.
Seeing she did not seem to be lying, Yi Shaochen’s brows furrowed lightly. Could he have been mistaken? Was this woman not from the Ouyang Family?
“However, could you tell me some information about the Ouyang Family,” Mu Ruyue’s eyes flickered, “I have never left the mountain from childhood to adulthood, and I’m not familiar with the situation here, so I really don’t know what this Ouyang Family is all about.”
