“Slam!”
The sound of someone hitting the table suddenly came from the teahouse beside him. Li Yunrong subconsciously turned her head and saw that in the hall of the teahouse, scholars were arguing with saliva flying everywhere. Words like “Kang Wang” and “Gu Ce” floated over.
Two more scholars looked in her direction…
Li Yunrong’s heart trembled, and a thought appeared in her mind. They’re talking about me, right?!
Her face burned even more, and her heart was like a drum. She practically fled in embarrassment.
She turned around and looked at the hall of the tea house. The scholars were still discussing and arguing…
Li Yunrong’s pupils instantly turned dark and gloomy, and her hands clenched tightly in her sleeves.
These scholars were the most knowledgeable and arrogant. They were just bookworms who studied hard.
They should abolish the imperial examination!
Aristocratic families shouldn’t exist either. No one could override the royal family.
The people shouldn’t have been enlightened, so that they wouldn’t doubt it.
Fools only needed to be obedient and submissive!
When these thoughts appeared in her mind, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed down from the sky and exploded heavily in her ear.
Boom!
Li Yunrong’s heart seemed to have been heavily whipped, and her eyes were as dark as the night.
The golden luck around her quickly dimmed, withering like a flower.
The black gas that was wrapped in the golden aura like spider silk stirred, spread, and expanded crazily, greedily devouring the dazzling golden aura on her body completely.
Only the ink-like black aura was left surging intensely on the surface of her body like boiling water.
Li Yunrong stood in a daze and didn’t move for a long, long time.
Her soul seemed to have been extracted.
Boom!
Another thunderclap sounded. Li Yunrong felt that her soul seemed to have trembled, and her heart twitched again.
She subconsciously looked up at the cloudless blue sky above.
In the distant sky, a faint sigh of pity seemed to come from the clouds.
It reached the depths of Li Yunrong’s soul.
Li Yunrong, who had been frozen for a long time, moved. She turned her head and looked in the direction of Kang Wang’s residence. There was a trace of light in her dark eyes again. The black luck ignited wisps of golden aura again, like embers burning again.
The passers-by on the street stopped and looked up at the sky. The sun was setting in the west, and the green and transparent sky was like a clear ocean. It was clearly a sunny day, and the sun was shining brightly. It didn’t look like it was going to rain at all.
Thunder rumbled continuously, exploding in the sky of the capital.
“Boom, boom…”
Juan Bi stuck half her head out of the window and looked around. She muttered, “Is it going to rain? It hasn’t been sunny for a day or two, why is it going to rain again?”
“I have to quickly take back the cat nest that was sunbathed outside.”
Juan Bi turned around and rushed out of the house, worried that a heavy rain would suddenly drench the cat nest.
“No need, it won’t rain.” Gu Yanfei put down the half-carved jade ring in her hand and looked up with a firm smile.
The pattern of a cat playing with bamboo leaves was carved on the jade thumb ring. It only outlined the general lines with a carving knife, but it had already accurately captured the essence of the cat.
When Juan Bi heard that, she stopped and returned in a hurry.
If her lady said it wouldn’t rain, it definitely wouldn’t rain.
However…
“Why is it always thundering in broad daylight!” As Juan Bi poured tea for Gu Yanfei, she casually said, “This heaven is really strange. It’s just thunder, not rain. It can’t be to scare people, right?”
When Juan Bi put down the teapot, she curiously glanced at the half-completed jade thumb ring. Even without asking, she knew that this jade thumb ring was definitely not carved by Gu Yanfei for her. It was clearly not a girl’s size.
“Pfft.”
Gu Yanfei was amused by Juan Bi’s words and smiled faintly.
She played with the small carving knife with one hand and supported her chin with the other. She looked at the blue sky outside the window and smiled slightly, as if she had seen something interesting.
Seeing that Gu Yanfei was watching excitedly, Juan Bi couldn’t help but stick her head out the window again.
Outside, the sky was blue with white clouds. The sun was shining brightly, and there was no gloom or phenomenon. Even the thunder had stopped.
Seeing that there was no trick, Juan Bi simply carried the empty teapot out.
Gu Yanfei, on the other hand, sat motionless behind the desk and didn’t say a word. Her clear and sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the clouds, the nine heavens, and all the way to chaos..
