Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 269 A Major Event That Changed the Entire Eastern Mausoleum

Chu Yueli has not visited the Mo Prince's residence for three days.

Inside the Mo Wang Mansion, a great demon king has been quite irritable lately.

I heard she went to Prince Jin's residence? Does she still have feelings for Lu Fengjin? Does she not want me anymore?

I'm incredibly frustrated.

I almost wanted to kill someone.

"Your Highness, there is a young lady outside requesting an audience."

"Please come in quickly!"

He immediately changed into white clothes because Chu Yueli had said a few days earlier that he wore dark clothes all day long and looked somewhat frightening.

So today, dressed in flowing white robes, he felt he actually looked rather handsome.

But as he was leaving, Lu Beimo frowned again.

A young lady requests an audience?

The guards didn't even specify who it was. If it were Ali, the guards would have said it was Miss Li.

Lu Beimo felt a little annoyed and turned to go back to his study to look at the letter, but then he thought, what if it really is Ali?

I quickly walked into the lobby.

Sure enough, there was a young woman waiting in the hall.

When Lu Beimo came in from outside, a gentle breeze, seemingly from nowhere, blew on her.

Dressed in white, she was a stunning figure with an ethereal beauty. Her slender figure initially exuded a powerful aura, as cold and awe-inspiring as a demon, but upon closer inspection, she was graceful and elegant, like a celestial being.

How can a person's temperament be so contradictory!

That half-mask did not diminish his charm; on the contrary, it added a profound mystery that no one else possessed.

Tuoba Mingyue already had some admiration for Lu Beimo, and seeing him again now felt like an eternity. His image was etched into her heart, and she could never forget it.

"Your Majesty..."

But to her utter surprise, before she could even utter a word, Lu Beimo turned and was about to leave.

"Your Highness! I am Tuoba Mingyue, who is participating in the Autumn Hunting Gathering with the Prince Jin's Mansion!"

Tuoba Mingyue caught up and blocked Lu Beimo's path: "Your Highness, I have something important to discuss with you."

Lu Beimo had no recollection of the name Tuoba Mingyue, but... the Prince Jin's Mansion?

"What is the Fifth Prince doing?" He seemed somewhat interested in the affairs of the Prince Jin's residence.

The woman had visited Prince Jin's residence a few days ago, and I don't know what she said to the fifth prince, but she hasn't come to see him these past few days.

It's possible that the fifth brother, that crybaby coward, made up stories about her in front of her.

After all these years together, even if Ah Li only has him in her heart now, she might still feel sorry for that coward.

After thinking about it, Lu Beimo was less resistant to Tuoba Mingyue.

He turned and went back to the hall, ordering someone to serve him tea.

Tuoba Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and went inside, but Lu Beimo didn't offer her a seat, making her feel a little uneasy.

Finally, Tuoba Mingyue decided to sit down on her own, in the manner of a江湖人 (jianghu person, someone from the martial arts world), without needing anyone else to entertain her.

"Speak, what has happened at the Prince Jin's residence these past few days?" Lu Beimo was drinking tea, his mask covering the upper half of his face, but his high nose and rosy lips were still visible.

Upon seeing this, Tuoba Mingyue's heart, which had been cold for eighteen years, couldn't help but melt little by little.

If he hadn't been disfigured, what an absolutely stunningly handsome man he would have been!

However, what does it matter if the man Tuoba Mingyue loves is disfigured?

What she wanted was the invincible heroic spirit of the Ink King, and his unparalleled strength!

“Nothing special has happened at the Prince Jin’s residence these past few days. Your Highness, I have come today to discuss something with you, something that could change the entire political situation in Dongling.”
