Chapter 44.1: Love s.n.a.t.c.hed Away

In a suit of deep red, thick and smooth silver hair, a wolf shaped mask that covered half his face, deep green eyes and smooth white skin, all of these made him look exceptionally different from others. Even though that was the case, that mysterious and aloof air around him still drew everyone"s eyes where they could not help but stare measuring him up, leading to the pretty and lively Ninth Princess, Yue Xin Yan beside him to be neglected for the first time.

But Yue Xin Yan did not mind. She had long gotten used to it. Whenever she was with Big Brother Ye Li, she was always the one being overlooked.

"Sis, Sis! Look! The Duke of Vast Seas!" The lad"s slightly excited voice awoken the almost half asleep Qing Yu.

She rolled her eyes at him. She was so bored she was almost falling asleep and this kid was not even letting her rest peacefully. He"s just too much.

Because their ident.i.ties were lowly in there, they could only sit right at the back of the hall. There was basically not much people where they were and it was quiet in that area. Hence, even if they were to discourteously fall asleep, no one would even notice as all the big shots were all the way right in front.

After being disturbed by Qing Bei, she not longer felt like sleeping anymore and she raised her eyes up lazily to take a look. The man who had everyone"s eyes on him was just sitting there quietly, his thin lips pressed slightly together, his gaze indifferent. His head of silver hair was luxuriant, the midsummer season seemingly haven"t warmed his person up in the slightest, as a chilling wintry aloofness seemed to emanate from him.

Qing Yu gaze suddenly froze in shock, and her eyes that were originally lazily half open suddenly flared wide, looking a little stunned.

Qing Bei saw the way she was staring and he could not help but chuckle gleefully. "How is it? Isn"t he a very special person? The Duke of Vast Seas is very powerful and I heard that he was actually able to go up into the higher leveled lands but because of a promise he made, he remained here. What a righteous man he is who stands by his word."

Qing Bei really worshipped the Duke of Vast Seas from the bottom of his heart, and he did not mind that he was a leading general of an opposing kingdom.

[Wait a minute….. Wonder if there will be a chance to at least say a word to him?]

Qing Yu had not been able to regain her senses for a long while. [Had her senses been wrong?]

[Why does this person….. feel so familiar to her, like she already knew him from her previous life.]

[But there was something different about this man and that person. Regardless whether it was in terms of outlook or that icy demeanor, they were greatly different.]

The look in Qing Yu"s eyes grew complicated. [Could he have been reborn as a completely changed person like she had?]

[No, there couldn"t possibly be so many coincidences. It was enough that she had suffered that alone.]

Her eyelashes fluttered as she blinked, her gaze lowering down slowly. And it was just after that that Qing Ye Li who was a far distance away suddenly turned to look her way. The green eyes dimmed and darkened. [Who was the one that was just staring at him?] That stare had been so intense that he was not able to ignore it. It was different from all the other gazes filled with curiosity or admiration. That one stare had clearly felt complicated and profound.

A pity the other party had already averted his eyes and hence he was unable to see who it was.

"The Duke of Vast Seas is just as exceptional as the rumours say. Outstanding flair, a dragon among men!" After the Green Wave Kingdom"s Emperor"s surprise pa.s.sed, he then heaped words of praise upon Qing Ye Li, and seeing the young lady beside him thereafter, the Emperor"s eyes brightened. "This must be the Ninth Princess I a.s.sume, rightfully deserving of being the Water Edge Kingdom"s greatest beauty. Come, come take your seats!"

Palace servants came over to lead the guests to their seats, directly opposite Yan Su"s table.

Although Yan Su could be said to have met Qing Ye Li before, but over the past seven years, the man had changed quite a lot, seemingly even more unfathomable than before. Yan Su then recollected his thoughts and raised his cup up to say: "Duke of Vast Seas, it"s been a long time. Welcome to the Green Wave Kingdom, and let this Duke offer you a toast!"
