It was already dark, everyone in the moon pavilion began to prepare to co to the royal family's banquet.
A banquet will be held every night for those who have just registered. While the third night there will be a welcoming party for all participants without exception.
Fu Xie Lan, Gu Yi, Wan Lie, Ju Xian, and Xue Ning are walking together towards the palace hall. There the event will be held.
Fu Xie Lan no longer uses face coverings cloth, but instead, the girl wore a silver mask similar to Gu Yi's, only a slight difference between the two.
On Fu Xie Lan's violet-toned silver mask, there are several sparkling engravings on each edge, adding an elegant and mysterious impression to the wearer. It only covered half of her face. As for Gu Yi's, there was no engraving on his mask.
The mask that Fu Xie Lan was wearing was a gift from Gu Yi, the man felt that it might be easier if Fu Xie Lan wears it than the cloth the girl always wore.
Also so that he has access to touch Fu Xie Lan's lips as he pleases without any barrier. Call him a pervert. but indeed, he seed to be addicted to the girl's lips.
"You are prettier with that mask Xie Lan," Xue Ning whispered in the girl's ear.
"Thank you," replied Fu Xie Lan turning to Xue Ning who was walking right beside her.
Gu Yi who saw that imdiately took Fu Xie Lan away from Xue Ning.
"Don't get too close to Xie Lan," the man said in a slightly harsh voice, embracing Fu Xie Lan and walking faster leaving Xue Ning and the others.
Xue Ning who received such treatnt stopped her steps for a mont. She is Confused.
"You're blocking my way," Wan Lie's voice from behind startled Xue Ning.
"Oh, I am sorry," replied the girl imdiately, with quick steps she followed the two people who were already a few steps away from her.
Wan Lie didn't miss a beat, he heard his father's words.
'Is he jealous of won too now?' A rough gasp escaped his lips.
Whereas, those who were with Fu Xie Lan would not be able to snatch the girl away from him. Why is his father so possessive?
while on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi were walking faster than before.
"Stop looking at like that, honey," Gu Yi said without turning his head to the girl.
"What are you doing?" asked Fu Xie Lan. She didn't understand the aning of that man's attitude.
"No, I just want us to quickly get to the hall," Gu Yi smiled back.
It was only a few minutes of walking from the moon pavilion to the palace hall, and they had arrived at their destination.
From the outside when the door of the hall opened, there were already a lot of people inside, and it seed that Fu Xie Lan and company were the last participants to co to the banquet. Luckily the show hasn't started yet.
They slowly approached the door, but as they stepped into the hall, each of them flinched in surprise. Suddenly a sting hit the tip of the finger to the head. Only a few seconds and if it happened to soone else they might just think it was an insect bite or even ignore it. But not for the five of them.
Suddenly Fu Xie Lan, Gu Yi, and the other three exchanged glances.
At the sa ti, 'Be careful, Miss. I sense sothing is not right in this place,' a voice buzzed in Fu Xie Lan's head. It's Hao.
Fu Xie Lan imdiately looked down and found Hao curled up lazily in her arms, his eyes scanning the surroundings. since when did the creature wake up?
'Alright, thanks for reminding,' Fu Xie Lan replied.
"You guys don't let your guard down," Fu Xie Lan whispered after dropping the red jade right in front of Wan Lie and the other two.
Those who saw Fu Xie Lan would probably think that the man had accidentally dropped the jade and simply picked it back up.
No one thought that the girl gave a short ssage to the three people behind her earlier.
The atmosphere in the hall was not too crowded, everyone seed to be busy with their respective friends and groups. So just sit alone as if separated from the others.
So many tables and chairs filled the hall, one table only had four chairs.
A table so different from the others was in the middle of the room. About three tis the size of the table in the room, there were candles of various colors and shapes tucked between the many dishes. Looks so luxurious. Anyone who saw it could imdiately tell that the table was the seat of the royal family.
Looking around, there wasn't a single royal family in sight yet. Only the palace maids were still busy arranging food and drinks on the table.
"There it is, the people from the Hunter Village,"
"I thought they wouldn't co."
"They should feel proud because they can join people like us."
And many more whispers were heard from several people, all of which only talked about the Hunter Village inhabited by exiles from various regions of the Zu Kingdom.
"His Majesty the King will enter the hall."
"Her majesty the queen will enter the hall."
"Princess FU XIE YAN WILL ENTER THE HALL."
Etc.
There was a scream from outside the hall, imdiately everyone fell silent, and faced the hall door with unblinking gazes, so of them holding their breath waiting for a figure to appear from behind the door.
Including Fu Xie Lan, for so reason, the girl's body suddenly tensed up, her heart racing. Previously, she had felt normal.
Gu Yi who felt the change in Fu Xie Lan gripped her hand tightly as if she was trying to comfort the girl.
The sound of footsteps from outside the hall grew louder, aning that in a few monts, the figure they had been waiting for would soon appear.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
The door to the hall that was about five ters high finally opened.
There appeared a man who was very young, handso and so charismatic, wearing a red robe with gold thread embroidered that ford a lion on the back. The oversized crown that adorns his head adds a perfect impression to his figure.
That was the King of the Zu kingdom, Emperor Fu Qing.
While next to him, a woman wore a dress similar to that worn by the king, there was also a crown with a jeweled decoration in the middle. It looks shiny when exposed to light.
That woman is the Queen of the Zu kingdom.
The ideal-bodied girl who followed behind of them, anyone who saw her could already guess that the girl was Fu Xie Yan.
Followed by other royal mbers, they stepped into the palace hall.
"Greetings to His Majesty the KING," shouted soone followed by the others, those who were waiting for the figure before now bowed their bodies slightly bowed to pay their respects.
"Show your respect, lowly creature," said one of the king's guards to Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi who seed to be still standing tall.
