Chapter 105: Grand State Master: Am I Good-looking?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sheng Xiao could read Yu Huang’s mind. He only needed to look at her eyes to know what she was
thinking.
Sheng Xiao pressed Yu Huang’s shoulder and told her, “I think you should tell Anna Tao the truth.”
Yu Huang subconsciously said, “But I’m afraid that she’ll take the wrong path when she finds out the
truth.”
Sheng Xiao smiled gently at her. “What are you afraid of? With a friend like you supervising her, if she
wants to take the wrong path, she will have to ask for your permission.”
He bent his finger and flicked Yu Huang’s forehead. He continued, “I questioned Anna Tao because
she was just an ordinary person to me. And I have always been cold and heartless to ordinary people.
But you guys are different. You two are good friends. I can question your friends, but you can’t.”
“We should be filled with confidence and trust in our friends, right?”
After hearing Sheng Xiao’s words, Yu Huang felt enlightened.
That made sense. She would supervise Anna properly.
If anyone bullied Anna again, she would beat them back with her fists! As long as there was someone
who loved Anna, Anna would still love the world and would not take the evil path.
“Sheng Xiao, you’re such a treasure.” Yu Huang, who was only slightly interested in Sheng Xiao, was
even more interested in him now.
The calmness on Sheng Xiao’s face disappeared when he was praised. He became embarrassed
again. “Alright, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Before dawn, Sheng Xiao asked Yu Huang what her plans were.
Yu Huang said, “Find a place to sleep and then bid farewell to Anna. I only took a day off from my
mentor. I still have to go back to catch up on lessons.”
“Are you returning to the Prosperous Capital today?” Sheng Xiao did not notice the reluctance in his
voice, but Yu Huang could hear it.
Yu Huang looked up at Sheng Xiao and said, “It’s fine if I don’t sleep. Are you willing to watch the
sunrise with me in Jingdu?”
Sheng Xiao could not bear to reject her.
The best place to watch the sunrise in the entire Jingdu was the Divination Tower where the Grand
State Master lived. However, that was a forbidden place. Ordinary people would not be able to get
close to it. However, Yu Huang was bold. She urged Sheng Xiao to fly to the Divination Tower with her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhen there were fewer people in the morning.
After only half an hour, the sun rose from the east and cast sunlight in.
The Divination Tower was the tallest building in the center of Jingdu. The morning sunlight shone on
the top of the tower and on Yu Huang’s face. Under the sunlight, Yu Huang’s hair and skin were
glowing. The mask also reflected a golden luster. This made her appear holy and beautiful.
At that moment, a strange scene appeared in Yu Huang’s mind. She saw a girl with a ponytail sitting on
Sheng Xiao’s shoulder. She shouted at her softly, “Mommy, Mommy!”
Yu Huang wanted to look at the girl’s face carefully. She tilted her head and almost kissed Sheng Xiao’s
face.
Sheng Xiao saw that Yu Huang was staring at a certain spot in a daze. He was afraid that she would
miss the beautiful sunrise, so he came over to remind her. Unexpectedly, Yu Huang tilted her head
when he moved closer. They almost kissed.
Sheng Xiao came back to his senses and was about to step back when Yu Huang suddenly raised her
right hand and pressed it against the back of Sheng Xiao’s head. She raised her head and kissed him.
It was a very clean and precious kiss.
Sheng Xiao was kissed.
For a full ten seconds, he forgot where he was and what he was doing.
Yu Huang stared at Sheng Xiao’s handsome face. The warm scene that she had expected flashed
across her mind. Her heart softened.
Yu Huang suddenly felt at ease.
She had her eye ib him.
Sheng Xiao pretended to watch the sunrise in embarrassment. Yu Huang was also recalling the
foreseeable future. She did not speak for a moment.
At this moment, a smiling male voice suddenly sounded below them. “Not only did the two of you come
uninvited, but you even kissed above my roof. Do you guys really not treat me as an outsider?”
Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were shocked. They stood up abruptly.
Sheng Xiao grabbed Yu Huang’s hand and flew down the roof. They landed in the corridor under the
roof.
After she stabilized herself, Yu Huang looked up and saw the Grand State Master.
The Grand State Master was wearing a hat and a gorgeous wide-sleeved robe. There was a white
crane soaring in the sky embroidered on the robe, giving off a mysterious and noble aura.
In his hand was a beautiful porcelain cup with a cup of coffee.
The Grand State Master lowered his head and took a sip of coffee. There was a drop of coffee juice on
his cherry red lips, making his face appear as exquisite and flawless as white jade.
Yu Huang was somewhat stunned when she saw this.
Sheng Xiao knew that the Grand State Master hated it when people stared at his face like a love-struck
fool. He would throw people into the snake pit if he was angry.
He saw that Yu Huang had been staring at the Grand State Master’s face while sizing him up. He
hurriedly pressed down on the back of her head and made her look at the ground.
“Hehe.” The Grand State Master suddenly laughed. Even his laughter sounded pleasant and moving.
Yu Huang heard the Grand State Master ask, “I saw you staring at me in a daze. Tell me, am I
handsome?”
His tone was sarcastic and cocky.
Yu Huang was momentarily unsure of what to do.
If she said that he was handsome, she was afraid that she would be thrown into the snake cavern. If
she said that he was not, then she was lying through her teeth.
Fortunately, Yu Huang was quick-witted. She immediately organized her words and said, “The Divine
Moon Empire is filled with beautiful rivers and mountains. No matter how I look at it, I can’t get enough
of it. In my opinion, the Grand State Master is as beautiful as the mountains and rivers of the Divine
Moon Empire.”
Sheng Xiao felt that it was corny. However, the Grand State Master laughed hysterically. “Hahaha,
you’re such a bad girl. I like you.”
The Grand State Master handed the coffee cup to the attendant behind him. He took a step forward
and raised Yu Huang’s face with a black, tattooed finger.
Yu Huang was forced to look up and meet his gaze.
When she looked into the Grand State Master’s blue eyes, Yu Huang immediately felt a sense of
disorientation. However, she quickly snapped back and her hazy eyes became clear.
Upon seeing the change in Yu Huang’s gaze, a hint of surprise flashed across the Grand State
Master’s eyes. “You are a Purifying Spirit Master?” Only a Purifying Spirit Master could remain
conscious under the Grand State Master’s gaze.
Yu Huang did not dare to lie and nodded honestly. “Grand State Master, I am Lin Jiansheng’s personal
disciple, Yu Huang.”
She introduced herself because she hoped that the Grand State Master would show some leniency to
her reckless behavior today on account of her mentor.
The Grand State Master only smiled and did not ask Yu Huang any more questions. He tilted his head
and said to Sheng Xiao, “You can go down and wait.”
Sheng Xiao would not leave Yu Huang alone. He raised his head and looked into the Grand State
Master’s eyes. “Grand State Master, you can punish me if you want. Don’t punish a little girl.”
The Grand State Master became impatient when he heard this. He waved his sleeves in disdain and
urged, “Hurry up and scram. Don’t put on such a show of affection in front of me. An old bachelor like
me can’t bear this provocation.”
Sheng Xiao refused to leave.
Yu Huang tugged at Sheng Xiao’s sleeve and said, “The Grand State Master is the most magnanimous
and kind person. He is a noble person. Why would he mind a little girl like me? Brother Xiao, you can
leave first!”
Yu Huang’s words were not soft. She had placed the label of ‘magnanimous and kind’ on the Grand
State Master’s head. If she was really punished by the Grand State Master, the Grand State Master
would have the reputation of a ruthless person.
The Grand State Master cast a sideways glance at Yu Huang and said in a sarcastic tone, “As
expected of Lin Jiansheng’s crafty disciple. You have such a silver tongue.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Grand State Master. If Mentor knew that you thought so highly of him,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe would laugh even in his sleep.” Yu Huang gave the Grand State Master an extremely fake smile.
The Grand State Master’s eyes hurt from watching and he couldn’t help but turn his head to the side.
Sheng Xiao could tell what the Grand State Master was thinking. He knew that the Grand State Master
would not punish Yu Huang, so he left.
After Sheng Xiao left, the Grand State Master said to Yu Huang, “Come in with me.” He then entered
the room.
Yu Huang stood in the corridor and exhaled before walking into the house with small steps.
As soon as she entered the house, she heard the Grand State Master say, “You’re lucky to be able to
grow up alive after being thrown into the abyss.”
Yu Huang’s expression changed slightly. Before she could speak, she heard the Grand State Master
say, “Your fate is quite strange. You should have died three months ago, but your lifeline was extended
to 18 years old. You should have died at the age of 18, but for some reason, you survived.”
The Grand State Master stared at Yu Huang and sized her up. There was some confusion in the
depths of his blue eyes. “I can’t see your fate clearly now.”
Yu Huang knew that the Grand State Master had already recognized her true identity. She knelt on the
ground and kowtowed with gratitude. “I thank you for your guidance back then. If it wasn’t for your
benevolence and how you couldn’t bear to see me buried in the abyss, so you have hints, I’m afraid I
would have long become a pile of bones in the stomach of the ferocious abyss beast.”
Upon hearing Yu Huang’s words, the Grand State Master chuckled. “You’re a good child who knows
how to be grateful.”
Yu Huang said, “I wouldn’t dare forget your kindness to me!”
“I naturally have a request for saving you.” The Grand State Master did not make things clear and only
said half of it deliberately to bait Yu Huang.
Yu Huang was especially unwilling to take the bait, so she pretended not to understand the Grand
State Master’s hint.
Seeing that Yu Huang was feigning ignorance, the Grand State Master suddenly leaned forward and
examined Yu Huang’s eyes at a closer distance. After looking at them for a moment, he said with
certainty, “Your wise eyes can see through the future and predict death and disaster. Am I right?”
Yu Huang was shocked.
As expected of the Grand State Master, he had seen through her completely with just one look.
Yu Huang did not like this feeling. This made her feel like someone had taken off her panties and
looked at her naked.
Yu Huang no longer pretended to be stupid. She said bluntly, “My mentor said that you’ve been looking
for a new successor recently. May I ask if you have taken a liking to me?”
Although he was surprised by Yu Huang’s frankness, the Grand State Master did not avoid her
question. He said, “You were born to be this way. Don’t you want to learn how to control this ability from
me so that you can predict your birth mother’s information in the future?”
Yu Huang’s eyes widened.
The Grand State Master went straight to the key point.
Yu Huang was momentarily speechless.
Seeing that Yu Huang had wavered, the Grand State Master was relieved. “Go back first and prepare
for the college entrance examination. Think about my suggestion.. If you have thought it through, come
to the Divination Tower and look for me.”
