First time pinching an ear
When the entire crowd dispersed Rui Li and Rui Yewan's steps faltered not sure whether to leave as well. Ji Yao's voice sounded like he was going to chop their brother to pieces and based on Rui Fei's recent downcast mood he would happily lie down on the chopping board like a salted fish ready to be sliced and diced.
Ji Yao didn't notice their reluctance to leave as he walked up the golden stairs behaving like he owned the place. His aura was that of a man born to be a king and he could have this entire throne if he wanted it.
In a deep sigh, he sat at the throne that should belong to the emperor taking off the veil covering his face. It was then that he saw the two siblings with hesitant expressions. The first thought that ran in his mind was, 'Did they think he was going to eat their brother?' Of course, he wasn't going to eat Rui Fei or maybe not in the literal sense.
