Chapter 157 The Mystery of Starfall
Chapter 157 The Mystery of Starfall
At this time, guests in the largest restaurant, Wangyue Tower, were talking about it.
"Who do you think this young man in red is?" a burly man asked in a low voice.
"Looking at the situation, I'm afraid his identity is not simple." The thin man next to him echoed.
"And that man in black clothes has an extraordinary aura and must be no ordinary person." An old man guessed while stroking his beard.
"Could it be that the children of some big family have a conflict?" A man who looked like a scholar said softly.
Everyone was talking at once, speculating endlessly, but no one dared to speak loudly for fear of getting into trouble.
The woman in the private room upstairs looked at Xing Luoheng's face, which was even more beautiful than a woman's, and couldn't help but stare at him in a daze.
The maid beside her gently tugged at her sleeve and said, "Miss, it's not nice to stare at someone like that."
The woman finally came to her senses, her cheeks flushed. "I...I've never seen such a handsome man before."
The maid covered her mouth and laughed, "Miss, are you moved?"
The woman glared at the maid with a coquettish look, "You are the only one who talks too much."
But he couldn't help but look at Xing Luoheng downstairs again.
Xing Luoheng noticed someone was staring at him, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This smile of his charmed thousands of girls.
The woman upstairs was even more frightened, and she clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand.
The other women around also blushed and talked among themselves.
"How can there be such a charming man in this world?"
"Oh, I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest."
However, Xing Luoheng ignored all this and continued to stare at the man in black in front of him.
The comment that he was a man who could rival the Regent caused an uproar among the crowd.
"The Regent is a man of great power. How can this young man in red be compared with him?" Someone opened his mouth in surprise.
"Isn't that an exaggeration? How can ordinary people match the majesty and aura of the Regent?" questioned a man who looked like an official.
"But look at this young man, his demeanor and outstanding appearance. Maybe he really has the potential to compete with the Regent." A rich girl retorted.
Everyone was talking about it, their eyes moving back and forth between Xing Luoheng and the imaginary Regent, their hearts filled with curiosity and speculation.
At this moment, a guest whispered, "Hey! Have you noticed that this young man looks like the Regent Princess?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and fell silent for a moment, and then they started to explode again.
"Indeed, now that you mention it, they do look somewhat similar."
"Is there any connection between them?"
"Could it be a relative of the Princess Regent?"
Various speculations arose one after another, and the restaurant fell into noise again.
In the other private room upstairs, a man in white clothes said, "Find out this person's background." His subordinates responded yes.
The man in white gently waved his folding fan, his gaze falling on Xing Luoheng through the window, as if thinking about something.
The subordinate beside him said, "Your Majesty, this person's origins are unknown. Should we be more cautious?"
The man in white narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Let's see first."
Meanwhile, Xing Luoheng downstairs took a sip from his wine glass, looked up at a private room above the other, and snorted in his heart, "Demon King of the Demon Realm."
A trace of vigilance flashed across his eyes, and he thought to himself, "His presence here must be up to no good."
The man in white is none other than Ye Yingshang, the demon king of the demon world.
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured to himself: "This young man is quite interesting."
The subordinate beside him asked, "Your Majesty, do you need me to ask for clarification?
Ye Yingshang stopped his subordinates and said calmly, "No rush, send someone to follow him. See where he goes and who he comes into contact with.
The subordinate took the order and left. Ye Yingshang continued to watch the movements downstairs, gently waving the folding fan in his hand.
Downstairs, Xing Luoheng put down his wine glass and called the waiter, "Waiter, check out."
The waiter came over quickly, smiling broadly, "Sir, the total is ten taels of silver."
Xing Luoheng took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it to the waiter, "No need for change."
After saying that, he strode out of the restaurant.
Ye Yingshang looked at his departing back, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.
Meanwhile, at the Prince Regent's Mansion, little Kexin said, "Daddy, why is Mommy back? I've lost weight because I miss her so much."
Yun Mohan squatted down and gently touched Xiao Kexin's head, "Xin'er, be good. Mommy will be back soon."
"Really? Daddy can't lie to Xin'er." Little Kexin blinked her big eyes with a look of anticipation.
Yun Mohan held her in his arms, "When has Dad ever lied to Xin'er?"
At this time, the housekeeper came hurriedly, "Your Majesty, someone is coming from the palace."
Yun Mohan frowned and said, "I understand." Then he said to Xiao Kexin, "Xin'er, go play with your brother. Daddy is going to take care of something.
Little Kexin nodded obediently, "Okay, Daddy."
Yun Mohan turned and left, walking towards the main hall.
At this time, little Muse came over and took her hand, "Xin'er, brother will take you to the garden to catch butterflies."
A bright smile spread across Kexin's face. "Yes, yes, brother is the best!"
The brother and sister walked towards the garden hand in hand, leaving behind a trail of laughter.
Soon, Yun Mohan arrived at the main hall.
I saw a eunuch standing in the hall, holding a whisk and with a flattering smile on his face.
"Greetings to the Regent," the eunuch saluted.
Yun Mohan raised his hand slightly, "Excuse me, sir. I wonder what brings you here?"
The eunuch said flatteringly, "The emperor has invited the regent to the palace for a talk."
Yun Mohan snorted in his heart, wondering what the emperor was planning. But he remained calm on the surface, "I know,
At this time, Gu Beichen appeared in front of Yun Mohan, looked at his eunuch's departing back and said, "Third brother, why did Emperor Nanyuan summon you to the palace this time?"
Yun Mohan's expression was stern. "I don't know. You'll find out when you get there. But I don't think it's any good."
Gu Beichen frowned, "Third brother, do you need me to accompany you to the palace?"
Yun Mohan patted his shoulder and said, "No need. Just take care of him in the mansion."
After saying that, Yun Mohan strode out, jumped on his horse, and prepared to gallop towards the palace.
At this time, Xiao Kexin saw this and ran over, begging, "Daddy, where are you going? Can you take me with you?"
Yun Mohan leaned over and touched her head, saying softly, "Xin'er, be good. Daddy is going to do something important and will be back to accompany you soon."
Xiao Kexin curled her lips and said aggrievedly, "Daddy is lying. He always says that."
Yun Mohan smiled helplessly, "Daddy promises that this time, he will come back as soon as possible."
After saying this, he rode away without further delay.
Xiao Kexin looked at his receding back, her eyes full of reluctance.
Her small body stood there, motionless, as if she had turned into a statue.
Little Mu Han beside her tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "Sister, let's go back and wait for daddy. Daddy will definitely come back safely."
Xiao Kexin sniffed and said, "Yes, brother, I believe in daddy."
The brother and sister walked back slowly hand in hand, the sunlight stretched their shadows long.
