Chapter 100: Ch. 46 Part 3
Yanzhi took his glass and gulped down the wine, "there won’t be a next time for such schemes against me" putting down his glass he said to doctor Shi who also gulped down his wine. "Never again, your excellency" bowing once more he apologized earnestly.
"Little wife, let’s retire" Yanzhi stretched out his hand to Xiao Ling who took it and stood up from his seat.
"Doctor Shi, I, Xiao Ling, like dealing with honest people. I hate it when people betray me and scheme against me, so I hope what happened this time, will not repeat itself another time. I will forgive you just this time around, we will leave for the village at first light tomorrow, whatever matters are left to discuss will be discussed after you return." With that said Xiao Ling walked side by side with Yanzhi as they waltz out of the hall followed by Yue and the rest. Doctor Shi finally let out a breath of relief, but his heart wasn’t very at ease knowing that he must’ve upset the couple.
The emperor along with immortal Pei and his eunuch also excused themselves not long after Yanzhi and his group. Although he didn’t say anything regarding what happened, that didn’t mean the emperor was understanding and was unconcerned. It was just that as the emperor he couldn’t say or do anything that might go against the teachings that have been past down since ancient times, but a slap like that to his face in public would not be gone unrepaid!
"Immortal Pei, about those couple what do you think about them?" the emperor consulted his right hand man as soon as they were in the premises of the palace.
"I also find them strange, I am unable to tell what their level of strength is. Or whether a martial artist or a cultivator like myself, it’s unsettling."
"Cultivators?" the emperor asked shocked.
Deep in thoughts, one couldn’t tell what immortal Pei was stuck thinking about. A lot of things had gone wrong recently, and that happened just when those group had come to the capital, or was he just thinking wildly?
"Maybe I’m overthinking, they can as well as be just mortals..maybe" immortal Pei said to the emperor.
