Chapter 1244 - 1241: Perception
Hao Xisheng huddled timidly in the corner of the sofa, looking at the three people across from him. When he met the face of his idol, delicate yet expressionless, he shrank back once more. Beside him, Meng Chi and the young man he had never met wore expressions of displeasure, as if they wanted to strangle him. Hao Xisheng wished he had not stepped through that door.Hao Xisheng: QAQ
He had only said, upon entering, "Your Majesty, dump your boyfriend and marry me," and the stranger had thrown him onto the sofa. Oh, it was terrifying!
"Little brat," Wei Ming said condescendingly as he looked at Hao Xisheng, whose face said he had lost all will to live, "Do you know what you did wrong?"
Hao Xisheng quickly nodded, "I was wrong, I was wrong!"
"Tell me, what exactly went wrong?"
"..." Hao Xisheng cautiously looked at Wei Ming, paused, and tentatively spoke, "I shouldn’t have said... Your Majesty, marry me?"
Wei Ming raised an eyebrow, let out a cold snort, "That’s not even it; how did your brain get lost in idol worship?"
Hao Xisheng: ...
"Let me tell you, little brat," Wei Ming began leisurely, "You should be grateful that Little Nine’s actual boyfriend isn’t here, or you might not still be alive right now."
"...Well... I’m not a little brat, I just really like Your Majesty..." Watching Wei Ming ready a fist in his direction, Hao Xisheng swallowed his words, cautiously raised an arm, and softly asked, "Actually, I wanted to ask, what about his actual boyfriend? Are you saying... you’re all pretend boyfriends of His Majesty?"
Saying this, before Wei Ming could respond, he looked up with bright eyes at Bi Xia, "Your Majesty, please take me in!"
Bi Xia: ...
Wei Ming: ...
Meng Chi: ...
Where did this oddball come from?!
Dealing with the oblivious Hao Xisheng, Wei Ming just wanted to roll up his sleeves and punch this guy—first hitting on Fourth Brother right in front of him, now trying to cozy up to Little Nine too. Damn it! What makes him think he’s so special?!
Seeing Wei Ming about to pounce, Meng Chi quickly grabbed him, his face also unhappy. Calmly, he said, "If you’re going to hit him, do it later. We have questions to ask first."
Wei Ming thought for a moment, nodded, rolled down his sleeves, and stared blankly at Hao Xisheng. Hao Xisheng cried inside, wondering what he had done to deserve this. He had only said the first thing every fan would say when they met their idol!
Marry me, idol!
Idol, I want to have your babies!
...Thinking of this, Hao Xisheng silently swallowed the last part, his intuition telling him that if he said it out loud, he might not make it out of here alive.
Seeing Hao Xisheng’s expression, Bi Xia sighed reluctantly, taking a deep look at him, "I’ll be going back to Qing City tomorrow; have you made up your mind?"
At Bi Xia’s serious tone, Hao Xisheng immediately sat up straight, looking solemnly unlike the clown he’d been a moment ago. Meng Chi smirked at Wei Ming’s twitching lips and said, "Don’t mind it; they’re all drama queens at heart."
Wei Ming: ...
Ignoring Meng Chi’s teasing, Hao Xisheng nodded earnestly, "I’ve thought it through, Idol! I’ll follow you from now on!"
Bi Xia raised an eyebrow, "What would you do by following me?"
At Bi Xia’s question, Hao Xisheng froze, looking baffled, "Weren’t you the one who told me to follow you in the first place?"
Bi Xia didn’t speak, only half-closed his starry eyes at Hao Xisheng, whose internal fear caused a slight hesitation. Hao Xisheng struggled inwardly, then gave up with a sigh, speaking in a dejected tone, "Alright, I’ll tell the truth."
He hesitated, pursing his lips, before barely meeting Bi Xia’s gaze, "I’ve come seeking Your Majesty’s protection."
Bi Xia chuckled lightly, "Protection? This small temple can’t shield anyone."
"But for someone who ousted Yu Du, a small temple couldn’t contain it," Hao Xisheng suddenly said. He looked seriously as he sat on the sofa, "I know this is happening suddenly, but there’s no other way, because I’ve realized that I won’t be able to wait for my mentor to return."
"Mr. Yao?" Meng Chi, who had accompanied Bi Xia to search for Hao Xisheng’s mentor, naturally knew that Hao Xisheng had said he would wait for his master to return, "Did he come back to find you?"
Hao Xisheng helplessly waved his hand, sadness flickering in his eyes, "I’ve already said I can’t wait for him anymore; how could he possibly come back to find me?"
"!" Meng Chi suddenly realized, his eyes widening, "You mean... Mr. Yao... encountered danger?"
"If it were just danger, that would be one thing," Hao Xisheng lowered his head, in low spirits, "My fear is that he not only encountered danger but made it so he can’t come back at all."
"Explain," Bi Xia spoke calmly, "How do you know this."
Hao Xisheng bit his lip for a moment, and finally, a trace of green spiritual power rose slowly from him, "My second awakening is perception."
