Chapter 1157 - Second Prince (3)

Chapter 1157: Second Prince (3)
Long Yue didn’t say anything, but just looked thoughtfully at Ji Fengyan. He gave a light laugh.
Since brother does not blame me, I can rest easy.

Ji Fengyan did not avoid Long Yue’s eyes, but gazed back at him steadily. Long Yue looked away and just as he shifted his head, Ji Fengyan suddenly glimpsed a startling sight.
Around his neck area, the vague impression of a small circle showed under the layers of clothing. That circle was pressed close to his neck and nearly undetectable.
And it was this faint impression that startled Ji Fengyan. She instinctively raised her hand and touched her own neck.

Oh yes, it will be Grand Tutor’s birthday in a few days’ time. I wonder if my brother has prepared everything?
Long Yue smiled as if nothing had happened.
Long Xi had never liked the Grand Tutor, so why would he care about his birthday? Nevertheless, such thoughts could not be revealed and he smiled.
I have made the necessary preparations, but I don’t know if Grand Tutor will like it. Brother, you have been by the Grand Tutor’s side for so many years, do you know what he likes? If you do, share with me. I hope I don’t present him with something not to his liking.

Long Yue said,
Don’t worry, brother. To the Grand Tutor, it’s the thought that counts. He will like whatever you give him.

The two brothers spoke courteously to each other.
Ji Fengyan observed Long Yue discreetly. She had not paid him much attention before as they had been inside the private room during the auction and a distance away from him. In addition, she thought she already had a good understanding of Long Yue through Long Xi’s description of him.
But…
Things were different now.
She had actually discovered something which looked like the mark of a Terminator on Long Yue’s neck. This was a total shock to Ji Fengyan.
Terminators existed for a special reason, and no normal human could withstand the pressures of a Terminator. Further, Long Yue’s father was the Sa Er Emperor, and his mother was a favored concubine. There was no way he harbored any demon blood in his body.
Everything got tangled up into one huge query in Ji Fengyan’s mind. Nonetheless, she displayed no outward signs of her confusion.
After chatting for a while, Long Yue stood up to leave. After sending him off, Long Xi sat down on a chair. Somehow, he always got a sense of breathlessness every time he interacted with his brother.

Are you in regular contact with your brother?
Ji Fengyan suddenly asked.
Long Xi shook his head.
No, we seldom meet. He had moved out of the palace, but the Grand Tutor’s residence is not far away. However, I don’t get along well with the Grand Tutor, and so I didn’t meet him much.

Ji Fengyan touched her chin with one finger as she gazed thoughtfully at Long Xi.
You mentioned before that you didn’t see him for a few years after he moved to the Grand Tutor’s residence to recuperate. When you first saw him again, did you notice any changes?


Changes?
Long Xi was slightly taken aback. He could feel that Ji Fengyan’s words held a dangerous meaning. However, he dared not make any wild guesses.
