Chapter 270 The Mask is Removed, and a Handsome Face Comes into View
Murong Junlan forced himself to stand up straight and took a step forward. Jiang Helingyi and the others immediately moved in front to protect him.
"Step back, all of you, step back," Murong Junlan commanded in a low voice. His feud with the Pavilion Master was none of anyone else's business, and in truth, there didn't seem to be any real feud between them.
"Your Highness." Jiang He was very worried about Murong Junlan's health, and Ling Yi also came up.
"Step back."
Although Murong Junlan's voice wasn't loud, it brooked no refusal. Everyone had no choice but to leave. Murong Junlan slowly began to walk, step by step, towards the Pavilion Master.
This distance, only two or three steps, took Murong Junlan a full half-hour. Finally, Murong Junlan arrived before the Pavilion Master. Looking at the Pavilion Master amidst the ice lotus blossoms, Murong Junlan suddenly felt as if he had been transported to another world. The Pavilion Master's face was still covered by that mask. Was this mysterious man preparing to leave, unwilling to reveal his true appearance to the world? Today, I, the King, will personally unveil the secrets beneath the mask.
Suddenly, Murong Junlan's heart started pounding, and he quickly raised his hand to cough and cover it up. He had speculated dozens of times about whether the Pavilion Master's face or his own was more handsome.
"Where is my queen?" Despite being as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, Murong Junlan maintained a calm expression and declared Yan'er's ownership to the Pavilion Master as soon as he spoke.
Your stone gate has been opened, and I need not show weakness. However, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, despite my reluctance, I forced out a sentence through gritted teeth: "If you are not satisfied, I promise you fair competition."
After a long while, Murong Junlan received no response from the Pavilion Master. Only then did Murong Junlan realize that something was wrong with the Pavilion Master. He reached out and checked the Pavilion Master's pulse; it was very weak. The eyes under the mask were closed, and his complexion was unknown.
He's still not awake? Impossible! If he's not awake, who could open this cave door? His Yan'er? The white-haired woman? An octopus? A fireball guard?
No, if any of them could open it, they wouldn't have had to wait until now. It seems that the fact that the Pavilion Master refused to open the door shows that he was somewhat afraid of his abilities. It seems that the Pavilion Master heard him playing the Purple Bamboo Flute for so long and received his internal energy. The fact that the Pavilion Master was able to open the cave door was really a result of him swallowing those poisonous pills. The Pavilion Master opened the cave door willingly because he didn't feel threatened.
Murong Junlan craned his neck to look inside, but couldn't see in because the stone slab blocked his view. His gaze then fell back on the mask on the Pavilion Master's face. He slowly reached out to try to touch the mask, feeling a cool sensation where his fingertips touched it.
Murong Junlan took several deep breaths, and finally, with a strong sense of anticipation, turned her gaze back to the Pavilion Master's mask, staring at it intently for a good while. Murong Junlan gazed at it for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist the urge to look away.
Murong Junlan made up his mind: right now, he would personally remove the mask from the Pavilion Master's face.
Murong Junlan slowly untied the thin rope tied behind the Pavilion Master's head, then gently lifted it with both hands, and the mask was slowly removed...
What a stunningly handsome face! It rivals even the most beautiful face in terms of looks.
"Your Highness, so you enjoy looking at men's faces." The Pavilion Master's eyes snapped open, startling Murong Junlan so much that he dropped his mask.
