Ye Wuchen gently raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything, an almost imperceptible glint flashing in those purple eyes.

"Oh, really?"

From beneath the mask, the corners of his thin lips curled into a barely discernible arc. Ye Wuchen remained silent for a moment before saying, "Then your parents..."

Xue blinked her bright big eyes, pouted, and said, "I’ve been with my brother since I was born, never met my parents, and don’t even know where they are..."

No parents?

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

This Xue is not his and Muer’s daughter?

Ye Wuchen’s brows furrowed involuntarily.

However, for some unknown reason, the little girl in front of him gave him a very close feeling, making him want to approach her unconsciously...

"Come on, I’ll take you to find your brother."

As he finished speaking, Ye Wuchen raised his hand and lifted the small body of Xue into his palm...

Xue’s heart was momentarily stunned. Even she didn’t know why she felt so at ease in this man’s hand...

That feeling was something she had never experienced with Ye Sihuang...

"Master!"

The man in white appeared beside Ye Wuchen in a flash, his curious gaze sweeping over the little girl in the man’s arms, a trace of surprise in his eyes.

One must know, the King has always been charmingly sinister and treats everyone the same. When would he ever go out of his way to save someone for no reason? Not to mention with such intimacy...

What exactly is the relationship between this girl and the King?

"Where do you want to go? I’ll take you there."

Ye Wuchen’s gaze fell upon the delicate, carved jade features of the little girl, a smile playing on the handsome face beneath the mask...

Xue was silent for a while, shaking her head. She raised her innocent, bright eyes to look at Ye Wuchen, "I’m not quite sure where my brother is either."

Though for some inexplicable reason, she didn’t have a resistant emotion towards this man, Ye Sihuang’s enemies were indeed numerous. Until she was clear about his identity, she absolutely could not let this man find him...

However, if she had to leave him, there was a reluctance in her heart...

As if something was drawing her closer...

"Then stay with me for the time being."

Ye Wuchen laughed softly, an unusual glint in his eyes.

Xue blinked her eyes, and instinctively reached out to the silver mask on Ye Wuchen’s face...

At this moment, the man in white’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, hastily shouting, "Stop!"

Even if he could see that this little girl was not ordinary to the King, within hell’s Imperial Palace, there was a taboo...

Apart from the Priest, no one had seen the King’s true face!

In front of others, he always wore that silver mask...

Once, someone dared to remove his mask, and in the end, had their limbs severed and eyes gouged out!

Thus, the King’s ruthless nature was deeply ingrained in people’s minds...

However, this little girl was bold enough to attempt to remove the King’s mask, leading one to easily imagine a bloody scene ensuing. Even if she was somewhat special to the King, he would still not allow anyone to violate the rules he had set...

But what happened next left the man in white dumbfounded...

With a delicate movement, Xue removed the mask from the man’s face, a beam of sunlight falling from the sky, casting upon the man’s handsome and dangerously charming features...

On his face was the pattern of a mandala, so wickedly imposing, reigning supreme!
