Chapter 233: Confrontation

Emperor Shun was sitting in the hall, wearing simple flax clothes and straw shoes. His long hair were made into a bun, stuck with the twigs of a chaste tree. Similar to how the ministers were sitting beside him, Emperor Shun was also sitting on a straw cushion with his legs crossed, looking nothing special, and neither was he showing anything different that might indicate his legendary high status.

His eyes were especially bright, with each eye having double pupils. When he looked at someone, one would feel as if they had gained an insight directly reaching their soul. This was the only specialty, which one would be able to tell from Emperor Shun's appearance.

He had a fresh and natural smell. Although he looked like a middle-aged, or an even older man, he smelled like the pine woods after a spring rain, which was very fresh and gentle, filled with thriving life force. Based only on this smell, one might have thought of him to be only a passionate young kid.
