"This will be the last eting?" Xin Xue Qing frowned upon hearing Ye Tian Yun's words.
Ye Tian Yun lightly nodded, "Most likely."
"Why? Where are you going?" She frowned.
Over the course of last week, she had slowly gotten attached to the mysterious young man.
Because she knew that the other party was not aware of her identity, she was never on guard to begin with.
"Well, I will be heading South." Ye Tian Yun was, of course, lying, "There is a business that I need to take care of."
"Oh," Xin Xue Qing didn't pry further and asked, "When will you return?"
"I… don't know." Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Maybe in a few weeks, or maybe never."
"Why?"
Ye Tian Yun created a random excuse, "I will be preparing for the Grand Spirit Hunt."
"Grand Spirit Hunt?" The princess frowned, "Are you… are you planning to participate for the spot on the Royal Bloodline Trial?"
Ye Tian Yun stared at her for a mont and smiled.
'Ti to put the final nail on the coffin.'
"Most probably no." He said, "But I am not sure. If my clan asks for my participation, then I will."
"Oh?" The princess frowned, "You should participate."
"Hm? Why?"
"Don't you know that you will beco the King's Son-in-law?" The princess pursed her lips, "Don't you want to marry a princess?"
Ye Tian Yun shook his head and smiled while gazing into the depths of her eyes, "I already have a princess. Why would I bother to look for soone else?"
"Yu-You-!" Princess Xin pouted, "Don't sugarcoat your words. Didn't you just say you won't be returning?"
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Well, if soone asks , then I might have a reason to co back here."
Princess Xin narrowed her eyes, "As if I will ask you, hmph! Go where you want."
Ye Tian Yun raised her right eyebrow, "You sure?"
"Hmph! You think too highly of yourself!"
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Alright, since no one is expecting to co back, I won't."
Princess Xin's lips curled, but she didn't say anything.
Ye Tian Yun stood up, "I will take my leave, miss."
Just as he was about to move, Princess Xin moved her hand and held the corner of his sleeve.
"Hey…"
"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun stared down at her.
"Co back."
"Hm? I can't hear you…"
"Hmph! I won't repeat myself."
Ye Tian Yun had the urge to roll back his eyes, but maintaining his composure, he replied, "Alright, alright. I honestly can't say anything about the future, and trust , I don't wish to leave the city, but only if I had any choice."
Princess Xin pursed her lips, "Then promise one thing."
"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun smiled, "What is it?"
"You will participate in the Grand Spirit Hunt."
"Oh? Do I have to?"
"Promise ."
"Alright." Ye Tian Yun sighed, "I will participate in the Grand Spirit Hunt."
"Good." She nodded.
Ye Tian Yun said, "What if… I end up winning the tournant? Won't you regret this promise then?"
Princess Xin smiled, "We will see."
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "We will see, hn? Alright, I will co for the Grand Spirit Hunt. Let's et soon."
"En."
Both of them smiled at each other, and soon, Ye Tian Yun left.
Princess Xin Xue Qing stared at his disappearing back and sighed.
'I hope you win…'
She wasn't confident about this and knew that it was going to be hard.
Mainly because of the agreent between the Xin and the Wu Kingdom, now talents from all over the Lower Heavens would be coming to participate in the Grand Spirit Hunt.
And the winner of the tournant would beco her betrothed.
'Ugh… I hate being a pawn…'
She frowned and stood up.
Just then, a thought crossed her mind, and she stepped towards the stall on the other side of the open ground.
There were few people at this place, and it wasn't very crowded, so she didn't have to wait for her turn.
"One plate of french fries and one burger." She ordered, "I want them packed."
Gao Suyin, who had already noticed her arrival, frowned.
Her mood was already ruined because of how Ye Tian Yun was acting intimate with the princess, and now she was irritated even more upon seeing how the princess had changed her attitude to one-eighty degrees.
'Hmph! I didn't even get to talk to him more than once, and he cos every day to et you… why am I so unlucky!'
With a bad mood, she swiftly cooked the french fries and burger, then packed them and handed them over to the princess.
"You like him?" In the end, she couldn't hold back and asked.
Princess Xin paused, her nose scrunched as she looked at Gao Suyin with disdain, "Mind your place, you rat! He's mine, don't even think about him, or else I will have your eye gouged out, and your brain will be fed to the dogs!"
Gao Suyin raised her eyebrow, not from surprise but from how ridiculous the princess's words sounded to her.
"Princess Xin," She slowly whispered, making sure that only the right person heard her words, "I will tell you once, and only one: you do not have any control over anything. You're nothing but a pawn, so do not try to lord over . I, unlike others, won't try to kiss your ass. Rather, I am the type to shove this whole god damn stall up your ars-"
"You dare!" Princess Xin gritted her teeth, "You know my identity, but you still dare to speak such words? Do you know what will happen to you if I complain just once about you in front of my big brother?"
Gao Suyin smiled, "Let guess… you will be ignored?"
Princess Xin frowned and threw the food on the ground, "Your attitude made lose my appetite."
Without waiting for any response, she turned around and left.
Gao Suyin stared at the food on the ground and sighed.
'Aiish, I went overboard.. The pill inside the food would have forced her and her brother regular visitors to the bathroom for the next few days.'
