The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler - Chapter 2451

2451 Emperor’s Technique is so Well-Practiced
She looked at him, and her gaze scanned his face in detail.

He had sharp brows, nice hair, a straight nose, and thin lips that pressed against each other slightly.

This was the most familiar face engraved in her heart, yet that face was cold and distinguished, cold and cunning, like an ice mountain that did not melt in a million years. He was icy cold and distant.

…

It was completely different from the look in her memory.

Chu Liuyue blinked lightly, as she curled her hands by her side slightly.

Not too long ago, this man clearly hugged her in his arms. He kissed her brows and her lips in a loving manner.

And now, they saw each other from afar, and it seemed as if it was their first time meeting.

At this time, she was actually dazed for a moment. She did not know what was true and fake.

At this point, Rong Xiu’s gaze also landed on her.

She clearly saw his eyes. Suddenly, she knitted her brows slightly. I seem… to have seen such a Rong Xiu somewhere before.

A blurred impression quickly flashed across her mind.

Chu Liuyue’s pupils dilated. Right! Peach Blossom Dock! The mirror in that Gate Realm had once reflected his appearance!

At that time, she felt that the Rong Xiu reflected in the mirror was different from him.

He was clearly wearing a snow-white robe, while the person in the mirror was in a black robe. That expression was murderous and cold, vastly different from his gentle and clear appearance normally. It was a pity that she only took a quick look and did not take it to heart.

But now, she finally understood that the figure reflected in that mirror wasn’t her husband Rong Xiu but… the Emperor!

At this point, Rong Xiu also spoke. His voice was as low and melodious as usual, but compared to the initial gentleness, it was more distant and cold.

He looked at her and said carefully, “Shangguan Yue, come over.”

…

Once he said this, everyone in the main hall looked at Chu Liuyue in shock. Why did the Emperor suddenly call this woman?
Chu Liuyue also recovered her senses. Then, she knitted her brows slightly. Shangguan Yue?

He had always called her ‘Yue’er.’ This was the first time Chu Liuyue heard this name from his lips. It was extremely… foreign.

Su Li, Mu Hongyu, and the rest were long stunned when they saw Rong Xiu walk in. When they heard him speak and call her name, they were totally dazed.

What kind of situation is this?

They had previously guessed that His Grace was the Emperor, but… What was he doing now?

The few people couldn’t help but look at Chu Liuyue.

The atmosphere was cold, and the air seemed to have frozen.

Then, Chu Liuyue exhaled lightly and went forward.

…

In the main hall, everyone’s gazes gathered on her. However, Chu Liuyue did not mind.

She walked up step by step and stood still three steps before Rong Xiu.

Here, the tremendous aura around him had already suppressed her to the point she couldn’t catch her breath.

Of course, she knew that he did not do it on purpose. He was too strong and naturally let out such a shocking aura.

Chu Liuyue looked up slightly at him. She could see him clearly here, but she did not understand him.

Chu Liuyue had never thought that they would meet like this one day.

He was the closest person to her. She had given him all her heart, body, trust, love, past, and future—without a care, everything she had.

She once thought that nobody would understand him more than she did, but now, she finally knew that it was not the case.

She was so familiar with him, but she could not understand.

“Emperor?” she asked lightly. It was a question and also to verify something.

Rong Xiu looked at her calmly. His gaze deepened, and it was hard to capture.

Then, he raised his arm slightly, and four rays of light flew out.

The four rays of light flew past Chu Liuyue’s ears, forming four circular rings in the centermost area of the palace.

These rings looked very special. That was because their color was formed by the interaction of gold and black, two extreme colors.

Besides, the pattern on these four rings was different.

“You can choose four paths to become a deity. Which will you choose?” asked Rong Xiu calmly.

Upon hearing this, quite a few people suddenly realized. So the Emperor is calling her for this?

That’s true. We’ve heard that she is an all-rounder. She has the potential to become a deity in more than one cultivation aspect. However, the key is to see which she picks.

Chu Liuyue didn’t turn around to look at the four rings. She just gazed at Rong Xiu, raised her chin slightly, and said, “Emperor is experienced. Why don’t you help me choose?”

The moment she said this, the atmosphere in the hall became slightly incredulous.

Yu Qian and the rest knitted their brows unwittingly. What does she mean? She wants the Emperor to help her choose?! Who does she think she is—

“Xuan Master then,” replied Rong Xiu.

Chu Liuyue’s lips curved up slightly. “What a coincidence—I was just thinking of this. After all, I spent the most amount of time and effort on it earlier.”

The crowd just thought that she was talking about completing the Star Path. Only Shangguan Jing, Su Li, and the rest knew that she was referring to the chess game that lasted for days between them.

The few of them exchanged glances and kept silent. At this time, it seems like… it is better to silently observe the changes.

Rong Xiu looked down slightly at the woman before him.

She had a smile on her lips, but her dazzling star-like eyes were calm and composed.

“Since you said it, then I’ll choose this.” As Chu Liuyue spoke, she turned around and wanted to go over.

However, the moment she took a step out, she felt her waist tighten.

She was dazed and looked down.

The token around her waist was actually held in Rong Xiu’s hands.

She blinked and glanced at Rong Xiu strangely.

He looked down slightly. His long fingers gently flicked it as he removed the token. “Since you’re already here, you don’t have to use this item.”

Seeing this, Mu Qinghe’s expression changed slightly. “Emperor, the token is something those without bloodline totems must wear. It’s not appropriate if you take it off—”

Rong Xiu did not speak. He curled his fingers and took the token.

Mu Qinghe sensibly swallowed his remaining words.

Although Yu Qian and the rest thought that this wasn’t too good… the other party was the Emperor. Besides, what he said was right. Now that she was already going to become a deity, there was no point in leaving it.

Chu Liuyue stared at Rong Xiu, tilting her head, and her lips curled up in an ambiguous smile. Then, she leaned in closer.

Her voice was so low that only the two of them heard it. “Emperor, your technique is well-trained.”

You undid this token so fast.

Rong Xiu paused in his actions, looked up slightly, and glanced at her dangerously.
