Repairing the Past

Chapter 59

Over the next few days, Fu Bai would often go in and out of the emperor's private pavilion just to test out some of the medicines he had already concocted as a temporary antidote.

At first the man was astonished to see the discontent between his adopted brother and the ruler of Alorra.

Neither Chu Yao nor the emperor opened their mouths to explain. Fu Bai could only speculate in his mind. He was too afraid that Mo Yan's anger would re-ignite if he dared to wonder.

That was quite the punishment he received a few days ago. Because of his carelessness, the ruthless emperor had managed to force him to tell who had told him about the poison removal method Mo Yan had done.

Fu Bai stroked his butt which still felt pained. Fifteen strokes did sound light, but it was enough to make his butt swollen like a huge balloon.

"Are you unable to persuade your highness to perform the poison removal again?" Fu Bai's whisper to Chu Yao who was currently helping him prepare the medicine at the back of the room.

"If I could, I wouldn't have asked you to talk to her that day." Answer Chu Yao how she is.

Chu Yao thought, if the poison removal they could not do, then inevitably Chu Yao would have to wander to just any place to search for the immortal light leaf.

It was certain that he would leave Mo Yan for a while. Maybe a month, two months, a year or even years just to find the invisible plant.

And if that was to happen, it was certain that Mo Yan would be inflamed and wrathful.

"Now!" A chalice of tonic had landed in Chu Yao's hands. The woman wrinkled to see Fu Bai's sour face.

"I don't want to deal with him. The person's emotions were unpredictable."

Fu Bai shuddered in view of Mo Yan's sharp eyes. The man actually made Fu Bai keep his distance. He did not want to see Mo Yan's monstrous predatory nature a second time.

Chu Yao chuckled softly with Fu Bai's impression painted real on her face.

He then brought the tonic cup to the room. From the corner of the passageway, the conversation of Mo Yan and the two royal officials was clearly heard by him.

"I'm not asking for your opinion on the decision I made. " Said Mo Yan in a stern voice, "i won't just let go of my responsibilities. I'll keep an eye on everything from afar."

"Didn't you guys agree to all the terms I asked for back then? Do you intend to stab me in the back?!"

"We dare not!" Refute minister Chen.

"Your highness, we are only worried about your noble safety. Can't we use someone else in this plan?" Added prime minister chiming.

"Even if you use others as a substitute, it will be easy to find out. Let me go there with some experts myself."

Mo Yan stood up then took out a piece of paper from under the sleeve of his robe, "This is a list of the names of the people I will bring to Airland."

The prime minister received the paper and read it along with minister Chen. The two of them threw eyes at each other and then nodded at the same time. It seems that the rebuttal they gave still could not shake the determination of the ruler of Alorra.

"good. We will carry out his noble orders. " The prime minister concluded the talks. With polite gestures, the two important people also resigned.

Chu Yao who had been listening behind the wall, now appeared with a tonic cup in her hand.

"Are you going to make a visit to Airland?" Chu Yao asked as she placed the tonic on the table beside the emperor.

The man looked. Grabbing the girl's arm to sit with her.

"The Emperor of Airland sent me several invitations. And I rejected it a few times. This time it seems that they are so strong that they sent some important officials and the number one scholar they have to pick me up.."

"They're already outside. Waiting for my decision."

"Then?"

Mo Yan gently stroked Chu Yao's cheek before returning to explain, "as you heard, I will fulfill their invitation this time. Maybe I'll meet your real father there."

Chu Yao did not say anything, but her dislikeful face seemed so clear. Not only does it imply such a deep grudge, the iris of his eyes also implies an inner wound that cannot be explained in words.

"Beware of that depraved old man! He's a very cunning human being!" Chu Yao exclaimed as she handed the tonic to Mo Yan's hand, "there must be something she wants you to do."

Mo Yan drank the tonic casually and replied, "i know."

Chu Yao looked at the cold man with a complex gaze, "Are you going to take me?"

Mo Yan returned the woman's gaze. Mo Yan's flat face could not give Chu Yao any hints. That young man had always made Chu Yao's curiosity rise and fall.

Chu Yao stood up, feeling slighted by the powerful man in front of her, "i have an ability that you can utilize. Besides I have interests that are equally crucial to you. Is that not enough?"

Mo Yan could not give any rebuttal. The woman in front of him always had a basic and reasonable argument.

Actually he did not want the woman to re-tear old wounds. To him, Chu Yao was quite alive like this, happy, without having to worry about the old grudges that were always haunting.

She can rely on herself for revenge. But it was not a Chu Yao if it was not naive and arrogant. It wasn't her stubbornness that made Mo Yan put his heart on her.

"good. Comewith me. But promise to always discuss whatever you're going to do!" Mo Yan exclaimed with a flick at the tip of Chu Yao's nose.

The young man got up from his seat again, "stay here while I meet the Airland envoy outside. I don't want to see you roam around with your abilities."

Chu Yao furrowed her brows, "you're curbing me with your power?"

"I'm worried about you, obey." Mo Yan said giving a brief kiss to Chu Yao before cutting off the dialogue they were doing.

The man passed by without regard for the look on Chu Yao's face flushed red. Instead of being inflamed, Chu Yao was instead rendered unflappable by Mo Yan's unfathomable attitude.

The guards called out ready as the beautiful-haired young man ordered to be on alert. The whole. From the door to the pavilion. No one can be careless for a bit.

Mo Yan turned possessive? It's probable. It was enough for him to be knocked unconscious for days without his consent.

For a long time he felt a void that almost made him feel like an undead. And it was all the result of the agility and cunning that the woman had.

Was Mo Yan vengeful? That's impossible!

Although this time seemed to want to master, he just did not want to repeat his education first. Mo Yan did not care. As long as Chu Yao was always with him and was by his side, whatever he would do.

"They've been waiting for you, your majesty." Said General Luo who was already standing in front of the door of the hall that was the meeting place of the two sides.

Once inside, Mo Yan was already greeted by two Airland envoys. One of them was a man that Mo Yan knew. Appearance and gurgles that reflect a charismatic scholar. The most popular man in the city of Airland, none other than Zhao Ming De.

Mo Yan was quite surprised, yet his facial water did not reveal that feeling at all. It was precisely Zhao Ming De who had a flabbergasted expression as he watched the familiar facial features in his memory.

Although the hair color and demeanor of Emperor Alorra were so different, the shape of the face to the athletic posture was exactly the same as Mo Yan, the bodyguard of the late general Chu's eldest daughter.

Zhao Ming De did not dare to speculate. He remained static on his seat after paying homage to the emperor's arrival.

"Alorra had already received an invitation letter sent by the Airland emperor. It's just that it seems the Airland side is a little underestimated our kingdom. Perhaps the emperor of Airland sent only a scholar and a newly appointed military official some time to pick up our supreme leader." Said general Luo without hesitation aling-aling in front of the Airland envoy.

"We apologize if we have offended his Majesty and the Kingdom of Alorra." Said Zhao Ming De as calmly as possible, "we are here representing all the envoys waiting at the border. There are some obstacles that we find difficult to explain here. May the noble be able to understand."

Mo Yan's eyes narrowed like a knife ready to skin the two messengers, "You asked for my forgiveness while your attitude did not reflect that. As if you were testing me. Is it really a coincidence that I look cruel to the envoy of a neighboring country?"

"Please forgive our boldness, your majesty!" Cut Zhao Ming De off, "The unstable state of Airland caused a prolonged economic crisis so that some of the soldiers who joined the entourage fell ill due to the lack of adequate food intake, and we can't possibly force them to follow us on their current condition."

"Scholar Zhao!" Sela Zhao Ming De's. He seemed ashamed to admit the reason put forward by the learned young man.

"You are so loud, say it! What's your name?" Mo Yan exclaimed pretending.

"I am Zhao Ming De and my colleague is captain Lu Feng." Zhao Ming De replied as he bowed respectfully.

"Okay, I'll go with you guys." Mo Yan said in a flat tone.

He stood up from his chair and turned towards General Luo, "i leave them to you."

"Okay, your highness!" General Luo answered obediently.

Mo Yan passed with just a nod. His behavior like that has made both Airland envoys justify the rumors that are circulating out there.

The ruler of Alorra is cold-hearted and notoriously does not like to beat around the bush.

Zhao Ming De stared at the back of the ruler of Alorra from afar. Like he was arguing with his personal opinion, the young scholar still doubted what his eyes had captured just now.

Xu Xiao Yan and Mo Yan, were men who had similarities and differences that went hand in hand.

In accordance with the proverbs, similar but not the same.
