Chapter 1239 (The Empress Is Mine)
"So, the family head is here," Donghuang Ci said in a low voice, but the tone of his speech was somewhat surprising. Especially that 'family head' sounded like he was calling a child, not very respectful.
At least that's how Ye Hua heard it.
Ye Hua also saw the legendary family head. The old man couldn't be considered as such; at most, he had just entered the ranks of old men. But for these people, age is just a number.
However, Ye Hua was curious about these two people and their connection to the Empress.
Whose child is the Empress?
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Donghuang Ji Shang looked at Donghuang Baizhi and seemed a bit stunned.
"Of course, welcoming the younger generation back home. Baizhi, isn't that right?" Donghuang Ci looked at Donghuang Baizhi with a slight smile.
Ye Hua felt that this smile didn't seem genuine; it was the kind of smile that moves the skin but not the flesh.[It's derived from observations of human behaviour and facial expressions, capturing the idea that while the lips may move to form a smile, there's no corresponding movement or animation in the deeper layers of emotion, represented by the "flesh."]
