Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

After they left the restaurant, Ling Yuxiao, with a faint smile, said to Feng Qingyue and Ouyang Wanqing beside him, "Ladies, where do you live? Could I give you a ride?"

Ouyang Wanqing looked up at Ling Yuxiao, and ripples of emotion began to form in her heart.

Feng Qingyue just shook her head slightly, and responded politely but distantly: "No need, thank you for your hospitality today, Master Ling. Let's get together again when we have time."

After saying that, Feng Qingyue reached out and pulled Ouyang Wanqing, who was still a little reluctant, and left in a hurry.

Looking at the two people's backs gradually going away, Ling Yuxiao frowned slightly, his heart full of doubts and curiosity: This Feng Qingyue seems to be extremely mysterious.

Then, he turned his head to Ling Yi, who was like a shadow beside him, and said, "Ling Yi, go and investigate carefully what Feng Qingyue's background is. You must collect all the information about her."

Ling Yi bowed respectfully and replied calmly, "Yes, sir."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace like a gust of swift wind, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air.

"Qingyue, this Young Master Ling is so handsome, and he is also very elegant and has an extraordinary temperament." Along the way, Ouyang Wanqing kept muttering to herself, her heart filled with secret joy.

Seeing this, Feng Qingyue couldn't help but joked, "Look at you. Who was it that ran away when he heard my name just now?" Her tone was full of playful ridicule.

Ouyang Wanqing blushed slightly, and retorted somewhat sheepishly, "That's because I haven't seen him in person! Besides, usually those rich young men are either overweight or have married several wives and concubines. How can they be as handsome and elegant as Master Ling?"

"Now that you've seen it, how do you feel? Are you filled with joy?" Feng Qingyue continued to tease with a sly smile on her lips.

Ouyang Wanqing lowered her head shyly and whispered, "I like him, but he may not like me back." There was a hint of worry in her voice, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the corners of her clothes, making her look uneasy.

Feng Qingyue reached out and patted her shoulder gently, comforting her: "If you like her, go for it." Her eyes were encouraging, as if to say that this was not out of reach.

"Chase, what are you chasing?" Ouyang Wanqing looked confused, her eyes full of doubts.

Feng Qingyue rubbed her forehead helplessly and patiently explained, "How should I put it? It means taking the initiative to approach him and let him gradually get used to your presence. For example, you can carefully prepare delicious food for him and give him some unique and thoughtful gifts."

"You know so much?" Ouyang Wanqing looked at Feng Qingyue with admiration.

Feng Qingyue thought to herself that this was really asking for trouble, and rubbed her forehead helplessly.

Ouyang Wanqing left with a half-believing and half-doubting expression. Feng Qingyue looked at her back and shook her head helplessly.

In the Lan Kingdom Palace, Qian Yi frowned and said to Jun Lingyuan, "Your Majesty, we have been staying here for several days, but we still haven't seen the goddess. Should we continue to wait?"

Jun Lingyuan raised his head slightly and said firmly, "Let's go meet the king." After that, he stood up straight and left the room with steady steps.

In the imperial study, Lan Xuanming and Chen Jinyu were discussing Jun Lingyuan's matter in a low voice. They analyzed that Jun Lingyuan had not made any moves recently, and perhaps he really just came to pay homage to the goddess.

At this time, a eunuch came in with small steps and reported: "Your Majesty, the Pavilion Master requests an audience."

Lan Xuanming looked at Chen Jinyu, a thoughtful glint in his eyes, and responded, "Okay, got it. Tell him, I'll be right there."

Then, he said to Chen Jinyu, "Jinyu, let's go and meet this Pavilion Master. I don't know why he came here, and I haven't seen him do anything else in the past few days."

"Yes, my Lord," he said, rising to follow.

In the magnificent hall with carved beams and painted rafters, Jun Lingyuan clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully, saying, "Ling Ye pays his respects to the king." His voice was filled with respect and expectation.

Lan Xuanming raised his hand gently and said, "Stand up."

"Master, are you used to living here these days?" There was a hint of concern in his words.

Jun Lingyuan replied respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Ling Ye is staying quite comfortably thanks to your care."

"That's great. Pavilion Master, what do you want to see me about?" Lan Xuanming looked at Jun Lingyuan calmly.

Jun Lingyuan said sincerely: "Your Majesty, Ling Ye wants to know when the goddess will appear." His eyes were full of anticipation.

Lan Xuanming looked at Jun Lingyuan seriously, and after seeing the eagerness and sincerity in his eyes, he finally said softly: "Pavilion Master, I am really sorry. I concealed something before. This was out of consideration for the safety of the goddess of Lan Kingdom. I hope you can understand." There was a hint of guilt in his tone.

Jun Lingyuan hurriedly said, "I understand. As the goddess of a country, it's only natural for you to be more considerate."

"Thank you for your understanding, Pavilion Master." Lan Xuanming said calmly.

"Then can Ling Ye see the goddess now?" Jun Lingyuan asked again with anticipation.

Lan Xuanming sighed softly and said slowly, "Pavilion Master, this is what I was about to tell you. The goddess left Lan Country a year ago. She felt she needed to travel far away to explore something that concerned the fate of the world, so she left."

"What?..." Jun Lingyuan was stunned when he heard the news, his heart full of shock and confusion. He really didn't understand why his people failed to find out.

Lan Xuanming seemed to see through Jun Lingyuan's doubts and explained, "The goddess is the goddess of our Lan Kingdom. Naturally, we cannot let the people of the world know that she is no longer in Lan Kingdom. Therefore, we announced to the outside world that the goddess is in seclusion to pray for the country."

Jun Lingyuan nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Where did the goddess go?"

Lan Xuanming shook his head helplessly and said, "I really don't know about this. When the goddess left, she didn't mention her specific destination."

Jun Lingyuan glanced at Lan Xuanming and said with a bow, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling me. Lingye has been bothering me for the past few days. I will take my leave now."

Lan Xuanming asked, "Pavilion Master, are you leaving now?"

Jun Lingyuan nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, Ling Ye has come here to pay his respects to the Goddess. Since the Goddess is not here, it is not convenient for Ling Ye to stay any longer."

Lan Xuanming said: "Okay, then I wish you a safe journey."

After Jun Lingyuan and others walked out of the Lan Kingdom Palace, he looked up at the sky, his heart full of confusion and melancholy.

Her lips moved slightly: "Feng Qingyue, is that you? Where should I go to find you?"
