As the carriage drove out of the magnificent palace, it slowly headed towards Prince Luo's Residence.
However, when their carriage passed through the streets of Silver City, Dongfang Hao lightly lifted the curtain and looked at the array of items along the street.
Suddenly, he felt that there seemed to be an unusually large number of pedestrians today, appearing to be several times more than usual. The people on the street walked slowly, most of them glancing around as they moved.
Seeing this situation, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly, but he remained silent.
The carriage continued to move forward slowly, and after passing two streets, Dongfang Hao's brows were tightly knitted together.
This was because he noticed that the pedestrians on those two streets were behaving similarly to those he had seen earlier—walking while looking around. From their demeanor, it seemed certain that they were searching for something or someone.
Thus, with each passing moment, his confusion deepened.
When the carriage passed by the Reception Building, he spoke up and instructed the guard driving the carriage to stop. "Stop the carriage."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Xuan, who was sitting outside the carriage, asked, "Sir, what is it?"
After hearing his words, Dongfang Hao immediately replied, "Mo Xuan, let's go sit in a private room at this Reception Building for a while!"
Upon hearing what His Majesty Dongfang Hao said from inside the carriage, Mo Xuan quickly responded, "Yes, sir."
So Mo Xuan directed the guard to bring the carriage to a stop at the entrance of the Reception Building.
Once the carriage stopped, Mo Xuan swiftly jumped down and stood beside it to lift the curtain for His Majesty Dongfang Hao.
Seeing that Mo Xuan had opened the curtain, Dongfang Hao slowly rose and stepped out of the carriage. After getting off, he walked straight towards the main entrance of the Reception Building.
Mo Xuan instructed the coachman to pull the carriage into a side alley and quickly chased after the Emperor, Dongfang Hao, who was walking ahead.
As soon as they entered the private room, Dongfang Hao said to Mo Xuan, "The pedestrians on the street were quite strange just now, and it seems they were all looking for something. Go investigate who they are and what their purpose is."
"Yes, I will look into it right away," Mo Xuan replied before taking his leave.
Suddenly, only Dongfang Hao remained in the room, yet he sat motionless on the Carved Wooden Chair, seemingly lost in his own thoughts.
The sunset was fiery, painting the sky with vibrant hues.
The blazing sun turned the white clouds into brilliant red flames, creating a stunning scene in the sky.
Meanwhile, the Snow Spirit Elder had been searching all day in Silver City without finding any trace of the Otherworldly Divine Star. As he continued his search, he suddenly noticed that the sun was about to set.
Upon seeing the sun nearing the horizon, he thought about the barbecue for dinner.
Just thinking about it made his mouth water. Since he had already searched all day in Silver City without any leads, he decided it would be better to take a break and head outside the city to catch twenty or thirty mountain chickens to bring back to Prince Luo's Residence for a delicious barbecue that evening.
With that thought in mind, he quickly told his disciple accompanying him at the door, "You stay here and keep looking; I have something to take care of."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swiftly disappeared.
The disciple wanted to respond but hadn’t even begun to speak before their Sect Leader vanished without a trace.
However, witnessing his Sect Leader's speed filled him with immense admiration.
After leaving the city, the Snow Spirit Elder maximized his Lightness Skill. Soon, he arrived at a Small Mountain Valley and swiftly caught twenty or thirty mountain chickens before hurrying back.
Upon returning to Prince Luo's Residence, he headed straight for the kitchen of Piaoyun Pavilion. After tossing the mountain chickens at the entrance of the kitchen, he quickly slipped away.
Indeed, this old fellow had returned to the street he had previously left, continuing his search for the traces of the Otherworldly Divine Star.
Night had fallen, and Luo Bingbing had already been summoned by her so-called father to roast those mountain chickens.
In the courtyard, only Luo Bingbing, her father, and Strategist Gongsun Ming were seated by the fire. The three of them knew that these mountain chickens had been caught by the Snow Spirit Elder.
However, they were unaware of what the Snow Spirit Elder had been mysteriously up to these past few days. Thus, they found themselves discussing this very topic.
Lo An Lord slowly spoke up, "Bing Bing, where has your master gone? Why haven't we seen him around all day?"
"Father, I'm not a worm in his stomach; how would I know where he went?" Luo Bingbing retorted immediately.
"Uh..." Lo An Lord was left speechless by his beloved daughter's response. Fortunately, Strategist Gongsun Ming chimed in to ease the tension.
Gongsun Ming fixed his gaze on the little one across from him and asked, "Little Princess, didn't your senior say anything when he left?"
Upon hearing his question, Luo Bingbing shot him a disdainful look and coldly replied, "If he had said anything, would I not know where he went?"
After her words, Gongsun Ming scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Casting a casual glance at the two beside her, Luo Bingbing raised an eyebrow and said, "Since you both want to know where he went and what he's doing, why don't you just ask him when he gets back?"
The two paused at her suggestion but quickly regained their composure and nodded in agreement.
As they spoke, the rich aroma of roasted meat filled the entire courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion.
"How fragrant! I can smell it from afar. What are you all cooking that has such a rich meaty aroma?" Just as they were talking, the voice of His Majesty Dongfang Hao suddenly rang out at the entrance of Piaoyun Pavilion.
Upon hearing His Majesty Dongfang Hao's voice, the three quickly turned to look.
Luo Bingbing glanced back and confirmed that it was indeed the Emperor of the Silver Moon Kingdom, Dongfang Hao. She disdainfully curled her lip and swiftly turned back to continue with her barbecue.
Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming turned to see the current Emperor had arrived, and they hurriedly stood up to greet him, bowing respectfully.
However, just as they were about to kneel in a grand gesture of respect, Dongfang Hao waved his hand to signal them to rise and said slowly, "Be casual; it's rare for me to visit your residence."
Upon hearing His Majesty Dongfang Hao's words, they understood he was reminding them not to reveal his identity as the reigning emperor.
Thus, Lo An Lord stepped down the stairs and said, "Yes! Yes! Young Master, please come with me to the hall for a seat?"
The father was truly going to great lengths; he actually wanted to quietly invite Dongfang Hao, who had come specifically for Luo Bingbing, out of Piaoyun Pavilion.
However, fantasies are beautiful while reality is cruel. His pleasant dreams were destined to shatter; after all, rank has its privileges! Moreover, this person was the Sovereign of the Nine-Five!
Indeed, His Majesty spoke again. He casually said, "No need; I'll just sit here."
After hearing his words, Lo An Lord quickly led him to a nearby stone table. But it seemed that His Majesty was not at all appreciative of his gesture!
He waved his hand dismissively at Lo An Lord and walked straight toward the spot where Luo Bingbing was grilling meat.
From the moment he entered, he spotted the Little One by the fire pit and the pure white Little White Fox beside her.
When he first saw the Little One, he couldn't be certain that she was the same arrogant Little Doll he had encountered on the street that day.
But when he saw the Little White Fox by the campfire, he was certain that the Little One in front of him was indeed the arrogant Little Doll he had encountered on the street that day.
Upon realizing that this Little One was the very same arrogant Little Doll, he walked straight towards her.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Hao had only been sitting in the Reception Building booth for a short while when his Personal Bodyguard, Mo Xuan, returned. Mo Xuan reported all the information he had gathered to Dongfang Hao.
It turned out that those people were looking for someone, and the person they were searching for was none other than the Little Doll he had met that day.
However, there were quite a few people looking for that Little Doll! There were those from General Lan's residence, from the Grand Tutor's residence, and from various major sects, among others...
Seeing so many people searching for the arrogant Little Doll, Dongfang Hao felt even more compelled to visit the Prince Luo's Residence.
Thus, he and his Personal Bodyguard took a carriage to the Prince Luo's Residence.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Prince Luo's Residence, Mo Xuan showed his badge to the gatekeeper. After bowing to them, the gatekeeper intended to report to his lord at Piaoyun Pavilion.
However, just as the gatekeeper lifted his foot to leave, he was stopped by Dongfang Hao. When Dongfang Hao asked where his lord was at that moment, the gatekeeper quickly informed him that his lord should be at Piaoyun Pavilion enjoying barbecue with the Little Princess.
Upon hearing about the Little Princess, Dongfang Hao inquired about her age. The gatekeeper hurriedly replied that their Little Princess was almost six years old this year.
After hearing this, Dongfang Hao instructed the gatekeeper to take them to Piaoyun Pavilion. Thus, what had just occurred unfolded.
Dongfang Hao slowly approached the campfire where the Little One was, his gaze fixed intently on her as if he wanted to see her surprised expression.
However, to his disappointment, the Little One remained focused on grilling her meat, not even lifting her head as if she were completely unaware of anyone else's presence.
So he waited for quite some time, but the Little One did not glance up at him even once, let alone show any sign of surprise.
Seeing the Little One in front of him so dismissive, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. In an instant, he released the imperial pressure that came with his status as a ruler.
As the imperial aura enveloped the area, those around him felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, as if even breathing had become difficult.
However, there are always exceptions, and Luo Bingbing was one of them. She slowly lifted her head and casually glanced at Your Majesty Dongfang Hao beside her before saying lightly, "Boring!"
Thud...
The crowd around her froze in shock at the Little One's words, their minds racing as they thought, "This Little One is incredibly bold! How dare she say the emperor is boring right to his face?"
Even Dongfang Hao himself was momentarily taken aback by her remark. Since his ascension to the throne, everyone around him had been fearful, and no one had ever dared to speak to him like that. Yet here was this Little One, breaking that unspoken rule, leaving him astonished and momentarily forgetting his anger.
Just as everyone was recovering from their surprise, a booming voice suddenly rang out in the air. "Ah! It smells so good! The grilled meat made by the little one is simply delightful."
As soon as the words were spoken, Snow Spirit Elder appeared by the fire, fixated on the delicious grilled meat on the Grill, as if nothing else mattered to him.
The crowd snapped back to reality upon hearing his words.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Silver-Haired Elder, who also seemed to disregard him, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly. He turned his head and signaled to Mo Xuan behind him to inquire about the identity of this Silver-Haired Elder.
Understanding the silent cue from his Your Majesty Dongfang Hao, Mo Xuan approached Lo An Lord and asked, "My lord, may I ask who this elder is?"
