Xue Bao held the DV and spun it around in the garden, fixing a beautiful artificial scene into the camera. As he spun, a familiar figure suddenly jumped into the camera.

It was Lan Ning. Standing on the balcony on the second floor, he was chatting happily with a beauty, a beauty who was the prettiest in Lan Ning's class. Xue Bao had seen her many times in school. The beauty of a talented woman! This was Xue Bao's first feeling.

With a 'kacha' sound, the shutter door flashed and froze the beautiful scene that made Xue Bao envious from the bottom of his heart. The sound of the camera shutter alerted the two people on the second floor and they all turned around at the same time.

Xue Bao was startled. While waving at them with a dry smile, ready to slip away, the anxious Lan Ning yelled, "Fan Xue Bao! "Wait a moment!" "When Xue Bao turned around, he was no longer on the terrace, leaving behind a beautiful angry senior sister.

Very quickly, Lan Ning appeared in front of Xue Bao. Xue Bao tightly gripped the camera in his hand, avoiding looking at Xue Bao with doubtful eyes: "Senior, is there something you need?"

Lan Ning was stunned. He himself did not know why he called her back, but he felt that he had a lot of things he wanted to ask her. He wanted to tell her, but he didn't know what he wanted to say specifically. He smiled uncomfortably and said: "Actually, there's nothing much to do. Have you cleaned up the room yet? Shall we go to the coffee shop on the first floor? "

"Hehe, Lin Jian is cleaning up the room, so I came out to take a look." Xue Bao was so excited that even his voice was trembling. The thing that she had been thinking about even in her dreams!

Lan Ning's heart tensed up. He smiled and headed towards the coffee shop at the beginning, Xue Bao ran and chased after him. In order to not attract the attention of the other students, Xue Bao found a corner and sat down.

Holding the warm cup of coffee, Xue Bao was at a loss on what to do. Lan Ning could feel her nervousness. She smiled and said at first: "Lin Jian is such a considerate and good man. I see that the other students are all men who went out for a stroll, while the women stayed in the house to clean the rooms."

"Now, it's popular to say that you can cook. Only a man who is willing to do housework can be considered a gentleman." Lin Jian was definitely a good new man. Whoever married him would have a happy life!

Lan Ning's expression changed, and Xue Bao's heart started beating along with it! She suddenly regretted saying something she shouldn't have. How could a young master from a wealthy family like him know how to cook?

"Ugh …" Senior, this isn't what I meant … "I …" Xue Bao was in a hurry to explain, but couldn't find the words to say.

"Why do you think I don't know how to cook?" Lan Ning sized her up mockingly. Could it be that in her heart, the rich people's children were that undesirable? Was this the reason why she was different from other girls and held him in contempt?

"NO!" "It's not …" Xue Bao was even more helpless. He could only use her dog legs to attack and laugh. "Senior is in good health, looks good, nice to people. That's already enough to be a gentleman. There are so many girls who like seniors. It's enough to prove everything!"

Lan Ning took a sip of the coffee and said helplessly: "Being a loving lover is enough, if many people like it, it will cause trouble, right?" After all, being rejected was a very painful thing to him.

Xue Bao's face turned scarlet red because of his words. He remembered that last month, he had secretly written a love letter to him, but in the end, he was sent back untouched. She was one of his problems, and now that he thought about it, it was really embarrassing!

"Senior, I won't cause any more trouble for you in the future." Xue Bao lowered his eyes. He had no face to face with him!

"Xue Bao, you misunderstand. I'm not talking about you." This time, it was Lan Ning who got nervous. He did not expect that these words would hurt Xue Bao. He wanted her to give him some trouble, but she never gave him a proper look.

She had always been like this ever since they met, always standing at the back of the crowd. Even when she looked at him, her gaze never lingered for more than ten seconds.

It would be presumptuous to disturb her in public, which was why he had asked his parents for permission to organize such a fraternity. What he hadn't expected was that his first contact with her would be at the party that day.

After their first contact, they would be able to greet and chat whenever they met on campus. Unfortunately, there were too many men around her.

Seeing Xue Bao fall silent, Lan Ning carefully asked: "Xue Bao, Yan Junyi is not your husband, right? You love Lin Jian right? " He didn't believe that Xue Bao would dare to marry Yan Junyi!

"Senior, you're wrong. Lin Jian is the big brother next door that I grew up with. Yan Junyi is indeed my husband." She didn't want to hide anything from him. In any case, it was impossible for her to have any interactions with him in this lifetime. It really didn't matter!

"You and Lin Jian aren't male and female friends?" Lan Ning was immediately overjoyed in his heart.

"No." Xue Bao was puzzled by the expression on his face and didn't understand what he was happy about.

Lan Ning suddenly grabbed her hand and said earnestly: "I know that you were forced to marry Yan Junyi. It is said that Yan Zhai's Yin Qi is heavy, and Yan Junyi is not a normal person.

How did he know that she had to marry, the astonishment on Xue Bao's face had already confirmed Lan Ning's words. As long as she didn't fall in love with another man, it would be fine!

"Yan Junyi is just sick, he's not as frightening as the rumors outside." Xue Bao could not help but defend Yan Junyi. After speaking, he suddenly felt that it was very funny, this was how mother fan tricked her to marry before, this was what Old Master Yan told her!

"Just get rid of her as soon as possible!" Lan Ning was a bit anxious. Yan Junyi's ex-wives would all die in less than a month, he was worried that something would happen to Xue Bao, but fortunately, a month had already passed and Xue Bao was still fine!

Xue Bao was silent. It had been a few days since she last thought about leaving the Yan Family. If she were to leave just like that, Old Master Yan would definitely not let her off lightly!

After resting in the villa on holiday, everyone finished eating and it was already 5 PM. Under the guidance of a staff member, the students of the two classes happily walked towards the legendary underground palace.

At the foot of a lush mountain, Xue Bao saw a group of tourists gathered around the fence, taking pictures, craning their necks to look inside. This was a place where even money could not enter, and for the students of these two classes to be able to enter, they had to completely rely on the strength of the Lan family in Ning City, which was to say, they had to thank Lan Ning!

The road on the ground was not completely paved, making it difficult to walk. Lin Jian carefully walked forward with Xue Bao in one hand. In front, Lan Ning was still walking together with the beautiful senior sister.

It was unknown if it was because of his sensitivity or if it was real, but Xue Bao felt that Lan Ning would occasionally turn his head around. Shaking his head, Xue Bao felt that he was overthinking it!

Stepping into the underground palace, a faint smell of mildew and a cold aura mixed together and assaulted their senses. Under the dim candlelight, the figures of people were swaying about, their surroundings giving off a mysterious and strange feeling. Xue Bao instinctively hugged onto Lin Jian's arm, feeling ashamed from the bottom of his heart.

"What is it? Scared? " Lin Jian patted her hands and comforted her: "There are so many people, do not be afraid."

Lan Ning who was walking in front suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Xue Bao, smiled and comforted: "Yes, Xue Bao, all the students are here, there are still some staff members inside." He really wanted to hold her hand in Lin Jian's place, but he only dared to think about it.

Xue Bao met the beautiful senior sister's unhappy gaze, looked at Lan Ning and Lin Jian and laughed: "What's wrong with you two? When did I ever say I was scared? "

"Fine, you're not afraid, I know you're not!" Lin Jian snickered as he looked at her tightly grabbing his hand. Xue Bao's face heated up and hurriedly let go of him.

Right at this time, the staff member introduced politely, "My friends, this is the main hall of the underground palace, which is also the place where the Emperor, Yue Ye, temporarily takes power. Behind him is his temporary quarters …"

"Wait, State of Yue Xi? I'm sorry I didn't learn history well. " Xue Bao apologetically interrupted the staff member.

The staff member laughed. "This is just a legend. Whether or not it's really a legend remains to be determined. Legend has it that a thousand years ago, there was a month in the world when Xi Nation fled to an underground palace after suffering defeat. This is the Moon God Hall that we are currently standing on. The remnants of Yue Ye's army was secretly training in the underground palace for more than ten years, and just as they were preparing to rebel, they were betrayed by their great generals, who in the end didn't complete their life's work, and died in the underground palace. "

"So pitiful …" Xue Bao muttered in a daze.

"In the ancient times, victory and defeat were common matters of the military, we can't sympathize with them." The staff member smiled professionally and then said to everyone, "Friends, you can look around, but you can only stand outside the yellow line and look around. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

As the students dispersed, everyone was interested in the ancient porcelain, gold and silver, as well as all kinds of priceless items that were placed on the strange stones. Xue Bao sized up this luxurious and grand underground palace. Surrounding it were stone walls and many words that Xue Bao could not understand were engraved upon them.

The underground palace was very big. Some places were surrounded, preventing Xue Bao from getting close. Xue Bao's gaze was suddenly attracted by a yellowish ink painting that hung in the middle of the hall. He couldn't help but walk towards the front.

Even after a thousand years, the portrait was still clear. It depicted a handsome and strong man with a crown on his head, wearing a black robe with a great red roll on the edge. A few strands of black hair fell to his chest, and his expression was cold and indifferent.

Xue Bao gasped and unsteadily took a step back. He did not dare to look at him again. That ice-cold gaze, was extremely similar to Yan Junyi's. He looked just like a noble and untouchable figure, exuding the aura of a king from head to toe!

Xue Bao closed his eyes, once again blankly staring at him. Was she sensitive again? Otherwise, why would he feel that the person in the painting was so similar to Yan Junyi? Could it be as Old Master Yan had said, that Yan Junyi was an emperor in his previous life?

"Xue Bao, what's wrong?" Lan Ning's concerned greetings sounded by his ears.

Xue Bao came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "It's nothing. I just feel that the person in the painting is very special. It's not like the portraits of emperors that I saw in other palaces."

Lan Ning smiled and stood by her side, sizing up the person in the picture with her, "Yue Ye is a special person to begin with, and her thoughts are also very special. A handicapped veterans, in another twenty years of training, wouldn't be able to defeat the enemy's million strong army, right?"

"How do you know he can't win? If he is not killed, he might be able to move out of the underground palace and unite the cause. " Xue Bao couldn't help but argue on Yue Ye's behalf. Even though the staff member said it couldn't be done by hand, Xue Bao still couldn't help but stand on his tiptoes, using his fingers to lightly stroke Yue Ye's brows. His movements were very light, very soft …

She felt a surge of unexplainable sadness. A tear fell from her eyes. Why did she shed tears for this strange and familiar man? She didn't even know!
