Jun Xuehan looked at Xue Ye quietly. What he said was the truth. His adoptive parents had passed away many years ago, and even Fengning Village had been massacred by Evil Soul Masters.
As for his biological parents, he doesn't even know if they exist.
He himself was a transmigrator, and was Essence Blood Nourishment by his sister Gu Yuena's essence and blood for ten thousand years before emerging from the egg. If Xue Ye could find his biological parents, then Jun Xuehan would truly admire Xue Ye.
"Then what do you mean, Pavilion Master Jun?" Xue Ye's lips twitched slightly.
"There's no room for discussion." Jun Xuehan shrugged helplessly.
"It's alright, it's alright, let's drink first." Xue Ye's expression stiffened slightly, and he raised the wine cup in front of him, gesturing for Jun Xuehan to drink.
Seeing this, Jun Xuehan picked up the wine glass, sniffed it lightly with the tip of her nose, and then drank it.
He was an expert in pharmacology, so if Xue Ye had put something in the wine, he would be able to smell it. Of course, this excludes colorless and odorless substances, but the possibility of that is relatively low.
"Pavilion Master Jun, what do you think of the wine from our Heaven Dou Imperial Family? Does it suit your taste?" Xue Ye asked softly, his smile growing even brighter when he saw Jun Xuehan drink the wine.
Looking at Xue Ye's smile, Jun Xuehan couldn't help but turn his gaze to Xue Qinghe. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that there was something wrong with Xue Ye's smile.
Upon noticing Jun Xuehan's gaze, Xue Qinghe shook his head slightly, then nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't know either, but it should be fine.
Seeing this, Jun Xuehan felt slightly relieved. After all, Xue Ye was an emperor, and he shouldn't resort to poisoning. Moreover, the people of the Wind Snow Pavilion knew that he had come to the palace for Attending the Banquet. If something really happened to him, Wind Snow Pavilion and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would definitely go to war. Xue Ye couldn't possibly be unaware of something so simple, so he must have been overthinking it.
"The wine is fragrant and mellow; it's definitely good wine," Jun Xuehan said softly to Xue Ye, putting down her wine cup.
"Yes, this is a fine aged wine brewed by our royal family. Please don't be shy, Pavilion Master Jun, have some." Xue Ye nodded slightly, raised his wine cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, Jun Xuehan also drank it all in one gulp, and then began to eat the delicacies in front of her.
The music gradually stopped, and the dancers' movements also slowly came to a halt.
Princess Xue Ke slowly rose and asked, "Father, brother, Pavilion Master Jun, how was my performance?"
A haughty voice came from Xue Ke's mouth, as if she was waiting for praise all day.
"Very good." Xue Ye clapped his hands, praising without reservation.
"Very good." Xue Qinghe nodded gently.
"It's alright," Jun Xuehan said softly, putting down her chopsticks.
"Not bad? So, Pavilion Master Jun, you're quite knowledgeable about music too?" Xue Ke asked, looking at Jun Xuehan.
"I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but I have a basic understanding of music." Jun Xuehan smiled nonchalantly.
"Then could you please demonstrate it for Pavilion Master Jun, so I can see just how skilled Pavilion Master Jun in music?" Xue Ke said with a smile.
"I'm not that tall, just a little taller than you. As for demonstrating, there's no need for that. After all, things are quite busy in our Wind Snow Pavilion. We need to go back and handle things after the banquet, so there really isn't much time to play." Jun Xuehan politely declined, as he genuinely had no interest in playing or demonstrating.
"Pavilion Master Jun Xue Ye, you are mistaken. The affairs of my court are no less than those of your Wind Snow Pavilion, and a little time is not a problem. Playing a tune will not hurt. There are always things to deal with, and we can deal with them tomorrow." Emperor Xueye said.
He didn't intend for Jun Xuehan to leave so soon; he wanted her to stay for a while longer, and it would be even better if she could spend the night in the palace.
Jun Xuehan couldn't help but look at Xue Ye. He was a little confused about what Xue Ye was planning, but the only thing he was sure of was that Xue Ye must have his own purpose.
Xue Qinghe's gaze also turned thoughtful, as he pondered what Xue Ye was really planning.
"No, thank you. I won't embarrass myself by offering my services." Jun Xuehan shook her head slightly, declining the offer from Xue Ye and Xue Ke.
"Father, Pavilion Master Jun is extremely busy. Since it's truly impossible, there's no need to force it. After all, the Wind Snow Pavilion hasn't been established for very long, and many things depend on Pavilion Xue Ye Pavilion Master Jun," Xue Qinghe said slowly as he rose to his feet.
"Yes, Qinghe is right. Xue Ke, come back and sit down, and enjoy the feast together. You may continue playing music and dancing." Xue Ye waved his hand, a faint smile on his face.
Music echoed in the hall, and the graceful dance of the dancers appeared before their eyes. The group chatted and ate their banquet at the same time.
But gradually, Jun Xuehan felt something was wrong. Beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead, her body involuntarily became hot, and her breathing gradually became rapid.
Jun Xuehan looked at Xue Ye and couldn't help but curse inwardly. This old man was indeed up to no good. Although there was no poison in the wine, there was actually an aphrodisiac in it.
Is this something a human being could do? Jun Xuehan calmed himself down, immediately stood up, looked at Xue Ye, and said, "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that I have some urgent business to attend to, and I really cannot keep you company any longer."
Before Xue Ye could answer, Jun Xuehan stood up and walked out of the hall.
"It's alright, it's alright. Xue Ke, go and see off Pavilion Master Jun." Xue Ye remained expressionless and gently waved his hand, signaling Xue Ke to go and see off Jun Xuehan.
"No need for that, Your His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Didn't you have some questions about cultivation to ask me? Perfect timing. We can talk as we walk, and you can also come to our Wind Snow Pavilion for a visit." Jun Xuehan slowly exhaled and looked at Xue Qinghe.
"Very well, then I will see Pavilion Master Jun." Xue Qinghe agreed and bowed to Xue Ye.
Jun Xuehan's current condition is not right, and he can naturally tell. Putting aside everything else, the fine beads of sweat on her forehead alone are very strange.
The weather isn't hot right now; it's actually quite refreshing. Sweating is definitely not a good thing.
"Xue Ke, you should come too." Xue Ye waved his hand dismissively, then subtly gave Xue Qinghe a wink, signaling him to pretend he didn't know anything no matter what happened later.
