The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor

Bai Chen Feng would never miss any exchange between Little Yan and Ji Mo Ya. When he saw that Little Yan was no longer confused by Ji Mo Ya, he was extremely delighted.

If not for his last big of logic reminding him, he would have charged out and hugged Little Yan; take a good look at her as he hugged her, hoping that she could meld into his bones and blood and never be apart!

Nan Gong Bei Chen watched the expressions of everyone.

Ji Mo Ya's pain, Shang Qiu Meng Qian's scheming, and Bai Chen Feng's paranoia that was near madness.

Then he looked at Huan Qing Yan in the center, expressionless, cold indifference; she stood there and accepted the worshipping gazes of everyone else.

Nan Gong Bei Chen knew that he no longer has the right to fight for the spot to stand beside Huan Qing Yan, he could only wish for her to be happy and be well and will be satisfied knowing just that.

Huan Qing Yan no longer possessed the naiveness and gentleness she had before, but only this Huan Qing Yan could walk further and stand firmer.

Nan Gong Bei Chen smiled as he thought about this.

Everyone in the event had their own thoughts but looked calm on the surface, although it was announced that the ceremony has ended, everyone was unwilling to leave.

They clearly saw that Young Master Ya and his lover, Huan Qing Yan or Bai Li Qing Yan now, having problems. All of them wanted to find out more and, naturally, would not want to leave.

Ji Mo Ya has recovered and returned to normal, no one could see what he was thinking from his expression.

While a cold Huan Qing Yan only stood where she was, the two of them did not speak, but everyone knew that they have many words for each other.

However, the three sages made a comment, causing everyone uninvolved to dispiritedly leave.

Only people from the Holy Court, Academies and Empires, and from the Eight Great Clan remained.

Plant Sage swept his gaze through the area, at the remaining people. Those who knew that this was not their place all bid their farewells and left.

Only the Shang Qiu Clan, Nan Gong Clan and Bai Chen Feng from Hanging Cloud Empire remained while bearing the stress from the pressuring gazes of the Bai Li Clan members and three Half-Sages.

The main hall instantly became much more empty, Ji Mo Ya had hoped to be alone with Huan Qing Yan to explain as well as to express his feelings of guilt and remorse.

Yet he saw so many busybodies that could not be driven away no matter how powerful a sun-like burning gaze was used on them, looking as though they would stay put even if the sky fell onto them.

Then he saw the guarded and disgusted expressions of the Bai Li Clan as well.

And most importantly, Little Yan only looked at him without uttering a single word; this made him felt unsure. His instincts were telling him that if he does not clarify with Little Yan, there will likely not be another chance in the future.

Therefore, he ignored the gazes of everyone present and approached, with a warm and burning gaze he said: "Little Yan, I finally found you! It is great that you are okay, great that you are fine!"

Huan Qing Yan blandly looked straight into Ji Mo Ya's eyes and replied without any emotions: "Young Master Ya is polite!"

That sentence instantly dumped Ji Mo Ya's heart into an ice cave.

He quickly explained anxiously: "Little Yan, please listen to me. It is all a misunderstanding…."

Deeply afraid that Huan Qing Yan would refuse to listen, he quickly told her about noticing Bai Li Zi Xi's anomaly and his discussion with Wine Sage. After that, how he continued acting and lasted till the Millennia Banquet, using the power of three Half-Sages to expose Bai Li Zi Xi and how she confessed the truth to everyone present.

After explaining, he also added: "Little Yan, I know I am wrong, I should not have hidden the plan from you! I caused you to misunderstand, caused you to be hurt! As long as you forgive me, I am willing to do anything!"
