Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-654

This was the first time Gu Ruoyun had walked the streets of the Holy City
since her arrival at the Ye family home.

It goes without saying that the streets of Holy City were indeed
flourishing. Most importantly even the average citizen in Holy City
carried powerful auras.

At this moment, at a tavern in Holy City, a man was sitting quietly in
front of a window in a compartment on the second floor. His golden eyes
were narrowed slightly as he gently swirled the wine cup in his hand. His
eyes were fixed upon the crowd below.

This man was extremely handsome. His facial features were exquisite, like
a divine portrait. His fair, white skin was flawless — one could not
find a single blemish at all. His lips were puckered into a smile but no
one could tell what lay beneath his deep eyes.

His beauty does not have Zixie’s demonic enchantment nor was it like
Qianbei Ye’s stunning, mesmerizing looks. His was a beauty which carried
a heroic spirit. His entire body, from top to toe, simply oozes the aura
of a sovereign ruler who had descended upon the mortal world. Just by
standing next to him, one would unconsciously be seized by the urge to
serve him.

Especially since this man had a pair of golden eyes which were so
beautiful that one would find it difficult to look away.

“Yun’er?”

Suddenly, on the ground floor, a familiar figure appeared within his line
of sight. The man’s beautiful yet domineering golden eyes narrowed
immediately and he rose swiftly from his seat. His body immediately
turned into a golden ray of light and quickly leaped from the second
floor.

Now, his face no longer held its initial calm demeanor. His eyes were
filled with anxiety.

“Was it her? No! Impossible! I must be seeing things. Yun’er is already
dead, she can’t possibly appear anymore.”

As he watched the people coming and going along the street, the man’s
heart slowly sank into an abyss, “She had lost her life a few years ago.
How could she possibly appear in the Banished Lands now? Besides, without
achieving the rank of Martial Supreme, one would never be able to leave
the Banished Lands.”

The man laughed bitterly at the subject, “Perhaps I’ve been missing her
far too much all these years which has led to my blurry vision. Even her
father had said that she’s already dead. Perhaps she’s truly gone.”

He took one last look at the crowded street and returned to the tavern.

…

“Mm?”

Along the streets, Gu Ruoyun had sensed something before she slowly shook
her head. She turned towards the street behind her and frowned, “I seemed
to have sensed a familiar aura just a while ago. Could it be that I was
mistaken?”

Gu Ruoyun shook her head at the thought then continued to move forward
without a second look back.

If she had only turned her head again, she would have seen the man who
had flown down from the tavern’s second floor. Just because she had not
turned for a second look, she had missed that figure altogether…

At a tavern compartment.

The man had just sat down and had yet to recompose himself from his
previous disappointment when a voice sounded from the communication
tablet in his hand.

“What is it?”

He wrinkled his brows and asked.

“Big Brother Jin, when are you coming back?”

The voice was extremely gentle and loveable, anyone who heard it would
find it difficult to remain unmoved.

“After a month, I think.”

The man sighed. No matter what, Xia Chuxue was Yun’er’s little sister.
Despite how much I dislike her, for Yun’er’s sake, I can’t just ignore
the members of the Xia family. Otherwise, Yun’er will not feel at peace
in her death.

“Alright, then Chuxue shall wait for Big Brother Jin.” The voice from the
communications tablet paused before speaking again, “Big Brother Jin, Big
Sister is already dead. It’s time for you to forget her as well.”

“Enough!”

The man’s golden eyes sank and he spoke in an icy tone, “Chuxue, because
you are Yun’er’s sister, I will protect the Xia family. I also have no
wish to see her family destroyed in one day! However, I will never forget
the trials and tribulations I’ve once shared with her during our
friendship! If she’s truly dead, then I must remember her for the rest of
my life. If you say anything like this again, from now on, the livelihood
of the Xia family, whether they live or die, will have nothing to do with
me!”
