Chapter 14: A Slight Unsettling Feeling

Ling Feng clenched his fists tightly, his cold eyes fixed on Su Luo with a mix of anger and a hint of admiration.

How noble is His Highness? And how exceptionally talented? The current Old Ancestor of Su Residence is only a fifth-stage cultivator, but their His Highness is already a sixth-stage cultivator at just eighteen years old!

His Highness has never suffered even the slightest grievance from childhood to adulthood. But now, now he has been struck! This Trash girl is truly arrogant and insolent!

Nangong Liuyun slowly rubbed his cheek where he had been slapped, his Falcon-like eyes cold and proud, gleaming with a devilish light.

His eyes were deeply mysterious, exceptionally cold, and unfathomable as he stared straight at her.

Su Luo felt a slight unsettling feeling under his gaze.

Su Luo momentarily felt a flicker of panic, but she quickly regained her composure, standing tall and meeting his gaze without backing down.

Suddenly, a chilling smile spread across Nangong Liuyun's handsome face, as stunning and fleeting as a blooming epiphyllum.

'Clap—Clap—Clap—' The crisp sound of applause rang out as Nangong Liuyun pulled Su Luo into his embrace.

'Silly Girl, your confidence is truly something. Should I applaud your bravery or mock your foolishness?' Nangong Liuyun's enchanting eyes held a hint of helplessness. 'Do you know that in this Empire, attacking a cultivator of the fifth stage or higher is a capital offense? You have been sentenced to death, do you understand?'

What kind of law is this? She was forced into a kiss and not allowed to resist? How is this fair? Why does the law favor the powerful?

Nangong Liuyun seemed to understand her unspoken words and smiled faintly, 'In this world where might makes right, the strong rule. Unfair, isn't it? But who told you to be Trash?'

Su Luo clenched her fists, feeling extremely unwilling to accept this.

Nangong Liuyun had given her a practical lesson: only the strong have a voice in this world.

Nangong Liuyun narrowed his eyes, his gaze roaming over Su Luo, then he touched her hands and her head.

'What are you doing?' Was he treating her like a doll?

Under the moonlight, Nangong Liuyun's ink-black eyes seemed to be veiled with a mysterious color. He suddenly stood up, grabbed Su Luo's hand, and said with a dark charm, 'Come, I'll take you somewhere.'

'Where to?' Su Luo looked at him, puzzled.

At this moment, his eyes seemed to sparkle with a brilliant light, a faint excited shadow flickering within. It was as if, suddenly, a puzzling question had been answered.

'The Testing Temple,' Nangong Liuyun's voice was captivating, his Aura overpowering and irresistible as he stared straight at Su Luo.

'The Testing Temple? What for?' Su Luo knew of this place. It was because of that day at the Testing Temple, when she received her talent assessment results, that her life had drastically changed.

'What do you think people do at the Testing Temple?' Nangong Liuyun suddenly chuckled softly, his voice smooth and lazy, exceptionally pleasant in the silent night.

'But isn't the Testing Temple only open on the first day of each month?'

Nangong Liuyun chuckled teasingly, tapping her smooth forehead. 'Silly Girl, you need to get used to the fact that some people are born with special privileges, like Your Highness.'
