The Emperor’s Eye
Long Yutian was stunned, unable to move for a long time, allowing Zhao Changping to collect those strange things back, his eyes still following them. After a while, Long Yutian finally found his voice and asked: “What was that?” Already carrying a sense of authority.
“Oh, you were shocked for so long, not because you were worried about Mu Xiaoxiao, but because you were curious about this!”
Long Yutian swept his eyes around, saw Gu Gan, and ordered: “At the northwest corner of Shanglin Garden, see if there are any clues.” He then told the others: “Go and invite the painter. Also, prepare a proclamation to announce to the world, searching for Concubine Mu. And, how many people know about this? Temporarily seal it off, and make everyone who knows keep quiet.”
After arranging these matters, Long Yutian turned to leave. Zhao Changping felt frustrated, sweating – wasn’t he treating me like I’m invisible? Just a moment ago he was asking me about these electronic devices, and now he’s not interested anymore? Frustrated as he was, his feet automatically followed.
Long Yutian seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, knowing Zhao Changping was following. He asked: “Can you be honest with me?” Then stopped and stared at Zhao Changping.
The Emperor’s Eye! Zhao Changping was once again shocked by those gentle yet authoritative eyes. Not an ostentatious wildness, but a hidden gentleness that was absolutely authoritative. It seemed everything was under his control; if he wanted, he could be absolutely gentle and harmless, like a scholar; if he wished, he could make the heavens and earth tremble. Long Yutian often hid his authority, which Zhao Changping naturally noticed. Because he usually appeared steady, his rare majestic demeanor was even more moving.
Zhao Changping met those eyes and sincerely said: “Mu Xiaoxiao definitely did not intentionally come here, nor to harm anyone. She’s just a playful child who knows nothing, without even the ability to protect herself. I hope nothing unexpected happens this time.”
“What about your story?”
“I came to find Mu Xiaoxiao, originally wanting to take her back, but also wanting to play in this new place. However, our time-space ship is now broken, and we can’t return for a while.”
Long Yutian’s gaze grew colder: “Should I believe you?”
