Chapter 755
Many girls gathered around, curious to know who had captivated the heart of Gui Baili, the First Young Master of the Empire. It was common knowledge that Gui Baili held control over more than half of the Empire’s military power. This tall, tightly-buttoned man in black military uniform, young, cool, and ruthless, struck fear into many influential figures upon hearing his name.
However, after a minute of the enchanted mirror’s reflection, Gui Baili’s face exhibited no trace of emotion.
“How should we interpret this?” Han Chengbei was curious.
Ying Min explained, “This indicates that Young Marshal Gui’s heart is unmoved; there’s still no girl who has managed to occupy a place in his heart.”
After his explanation, Ying Min added thoughtfully, “This includes Her Majesty the Queen.”
If her own brother couldn’t be chosen, she wouldn’t let Gui Baili benefit either.
Ye Junqing narrowed his eyes. Having ruled out three of his love rivals, only Gui Baili, whose heart was unmoved, gave him cause for disquiet. The man, seen by Ye Junqing as a thorn in his side, provoked feelings of jealousy, and a feeling of antipathy towards everyone.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. Realizing what was happening, Ye Junqing cursed under his breath, “Damn it, time’s up!”
…
An hour earlier, Tang Zhou, who was muttering under his breath within the palace, also felt the onset of dizziness. Once he recovered, the first thing he saw was the deep and restrained face of Leng Chenmo… a hallucination?
Leng Chenmo looked at Ye Junqing in front of him, and softly called out, “Little Boat?”
It’s real?
“Little follower, you finally found me?” Tang Zhou jumped up in excitement.
But something didn’t seem right. Why was he on the sea, to be more precise, on the deck? The sunlight shining on his face gave him an unreal feeling. Wasn’t he supposed to be at the ocean floor?
Hearing the words “little follower”, Leng Chenmo sighed in relief. Yes, it was Tang Zhou, they had succeeded!
“Little follower, why am I here?” At this point, Tang Zhou was still unaware that he was residing in Ye Junqing’s body, thinking he had been saved. However, he was confused about the rescue process.
On the deck, apart from Leng Chenmo, there was another person, Ye Baixiu. Tang Zhou called out, “Godfather, you’re here too?”noveldrama
Ye Baixiu nodded, and then showed Tang Zhou his reflection in a mirror. He said, “Long story short, we’re short of time; you weren’t rescued. You and Junqing have exchanged souls; you are now in Junqing’s body. Now, don’t ask anything else, and tell us what happened. Who kidnapped you both, and where were you taken?”
This information was vital for planning the rescue.
“What the!” Tang Zhou frantically examined his reflection in the mirror. “What the hell is going on?!”
“I’m now in Junqing’s body? Then where did Junqing go?”
Leng Chenmo’s low voice was soothing, as if imbued with a calming influence: “Ye Junqing is in your body. Given the urgency of the situation, this was the only action we could take to quickly ascertain your current situation. Tell me, everything we don’t know about.”
Leng Chenmo glanced at his watch: “The soul exchange can only be maintained for an hour. After an hour, you both will return to your respective bodies. In the past few days, has anyone mistreated you? Have you been left hungry?”
