Chapter 158 - A Trial Of Love (1/2)

”Ah, Senior Yue Xia, you are already here. I just came back from reporting to his Majesty.”

The white-haired god nodded unhurriedly. ”It's nice to see you again, Shun Tao. The matter you wanted to talk about has to be quite important if you're in such a hurry to see me.”

”Mn. It is indeed of great importance. Please, come in.” He motioned inside and led the god of love into his study. ”Please, have a seat.” He sat down opposite him and poured him a cup of tea while thinking about how to approach the topic. ”I hope you don't mind if I get to the point immediately. The matter I am worrying about pertains to his Highness, the crown prince.”

Yue Xia nodded and took up the cup of tea. ”Just go ahead.”

Shun Tao took a deep breath and tried to sort his thoughts out. ”You might know that his Highness is currently attempting his trial in the mortal world. The fate I wrote for him originally contained a trial of love.”

”But it didn't come to be?”

Shun Tao nodded. ”Indeed. There were some … unforeseen incidents that led to a slightly different fate. The thing I am wondering about is if you tied a red threat for his mortal life?”

Yue Xia smiled. ”Didn't you send the notice that he shouldn't be connected?”

”Indeed. It is just … I am a little worried about it, so I wanted to make sure. I apologize if I've made you come over for nothing.”

”Don't worry about that. It's natural to expend a little more effort if our crown prince's life depends on it. Regarding his love trial, I indeed didn't tie a red thread. Even if you hadn't reported the general direction of his mortal life, I wouldn't have tied it. Actually, his Highness himself came to see me before he descended. He asked me not to tie the red thread for him.”

”Hah?” Shun Tao was stunned. ”What do you mean? Why would his Highness do something like that?”

Yue Xia smiled. ”The fate of an immortal's love can't be determined by anyone but heaven itself. But looking at his Highness and the current Longjun, I do feel like those two have a special connection between them. They might be meant for each other.”

”I see. His Highness wanted to avoid bringing trouble to that relationship.”

Yue Xia nodded. ”We can't forget that he's a dragon. As far as I know, they are quite particular about their relationships. If his Highness encountered a love trial in the mortal world and things developed between him and some other man that might ruin his relationship with Longjun forever. That wouldn't be wise in my humble opinion. Neither for the relationship between our two races nor for his Highness himself. He seems to love this man very much.”
