Qi Bei smiled, his half-squinted black eyes shimring with a cold light.
Yes, he was no longer infatuated with Princess Ming Yue, but regardless, she was still his betrothed in na.
He couldnt tolerate any man ddling with their personal affairs.
And what of the disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Peak? Taking soones wife was even more unforgivable than killing their parents!
Qi Bei, dont worry. Although the Five Holy Lands are lofty, they wont interfere in worldly affairs. That guy better know his place, and if he dares to cause trouble, our Nord family wont stand idly by, Huaian said to Qi Bei.
Thats for the best, Qi Bei replied lightly. He had a feeling that the upcoming engagent ceremony would not be so peaceful.
.
Dreaming Moon Palace.
The colorful magic lights adorned the Dreaming Moon Palace, making the preparations for the princesss engagent even more elaborate than those of the groom.
At this mont, Princess Ming Yue was soaking naked in a bathtub filled with flower petals. Her long hair flowed like silk in the water, and the warm steam made her snow-white skin even more attractive, like peeled lychees, tempting one to take a bite.
Marital engagent was a big event in a young girls life.
Although Ming Yue had always appeared indifferent, her heart was filled with bitterness.
She scooped up a handful of water and stared blankly at the beautiful flower petals floating on the surface, inexplicably rembering Qi Beis piercingly cold gaze when they were on the western outskirts of the imperial city.
He was different now, no longer infatuated with her. The forr him had never been so sharp-eyed, so straight-backed!
Qi Bei, who are you to look down on No matter how high your achievents, how can you compare to , who beca the disciple of a Holy Land? Ming Yue clenched her fist, and the water in her hand turned into colorful steam, even evaporating the flower petals.
At this mont, she saw her beautiful face in the water, and the puffy expression on her face made her feel sowhat unfamiliar.
Im overthinking. Our worlds are destined to be different, just two temporarily intersecting straight lines that will only grow further apart after eting. Ming Yue shook her head with a smile, and the anger in her heart was thrown away.
However, the road of life is not a straight line without any ups and downs. Maybe there will be unexpected twists and turns, and the two lines will et again at so ti and place?
Princess, Young Master Feng Tian is waiting outside and wants to see you. Suddenly, a maids voice ca from outside the bathroom.
Ming Yue frowned. It was already so late at night, and this senior brother coming at this ti was not very appropriate. In fact, from the look in his eyes when he first saw her, she knew that he had fallen in love with her at first sight, and there was no concealnt of his admiration in his words and actions. Moreover, he went to great lengths to try to stop her from getting engaged to Qi Bei.
Undeniably, this senior brother Feng Tian was also handso and not inferior to Qi Bei in appearance. Moreover, he was already a king-grade mage at a young age, and his high talent was self-evident. However
At this mont, Ming Yue suddenly paused, realizing for the first ti that in her mind, Qi Beis appearance was handso and attractive, and she had never thought of a man this way before.
Let him wait a mont. Ming Yue shook her head slightly and spoke calmly.
Although she did not like the fact that Feng Tian visited at this hour, she could not ignore his face. After all, both of them were Katies direct disciples, and Feng Tian had been in the Heavenly Mountain Peak since childhood.
Feng Tian wore a simple purple magic robe, which did not look gorgeous, but there was a noble temperant emanating from him. His sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, coupled with a reserved smile, were extrely attractive to won.
The palace maids were secretly looking at him, not only because of his appearance and temperant but also because of his noble identity as the disciple of a Holy Land.
Heavenly Mountain Peak is a paradise for mages. In the eyes of ordinary people, mages are noble. Every mage would try their best to join a Holy Land. It is said that the advanced magic spells that mages cannot afford to buy outside can be found in Heavenly Mountain Peak. It is believed that they have holy magic spells and even a divine magic spell passed down from the divine realm.
After a while, Ming Yue, who was dressed neatly, walked out slowly.
Feng Tian looked over and his throat moved slightly, his eyes full of amazent.
Ming Yue was dressed in a snow-white fringe palace dress, walking like a fairy who ca out of the holy light.
Senior Brother, is there anything you need from so late? You know that tomorrow is my engagent day and there are many trivial matters to prepare. Ming Yue said calmly, with the obvious aning of sending him off.
However, Feng Tian seed to have not understood at all and kindly said, Junior sister, Im here to persuade you to reconsider. You are my Heavenly Mountain Peak disciple, and there is no need to sacrifice yourself for secular politics.
Senior brother, thank you for your kindness, but I have already made up my mind. If senior brother ca here just to talk about this matter, please leave. Ming Yue said, feeling a little unhappy.
Junior sister, you told during the day that you didnt want to be engaged to Qi Bei, right? Feng Tian said.
Yes, but
Thats settled then. Oh, by the way, I ca here to give you sothing. I brought a gift for my first eting with junior sister. Feng Tian said as he took out an exquisite blue jade box and gently shook it, causing the box to float toward Ming Yue.
It was Starry Jade! The box was made of a precious material that was found in teorites that fell from outer space. It contained magical energy that could nourish the body and make it impervious to toxins. Even a small piece of Starry Jade was priceless, so the value of this large piece was incalculable.
Inside is the reward I received for getting third place in the disciple competition of Heavenly Mountain Peak five years ago. Its a King-grade armor that can block half of the attacks of magic users and warriors below the King-grade. Feng Tian said proudly. There was one more thing he didnt say, which was that he had worn this armor for several years, so if Ming Yue wore it, they would indirectly have intimate contact.
Senior brother, I cant accept such a valuable thing. Please take it back. Ming Yue waved her hand, pushing the jade box back to Feng Tians side. She was a very clever woman and could easily guess what was on Feng Tians mind.
Junior sister, this is a gift for our first eting. Its my heartfelt gift, and you must accept it. Its getting late, so I wont disturb you any longer. Feng Tian placed the jade box on a nearby chair and then turned to leave.
Ming Yue watched Feng Tians leaving figure with a calm expression, then suddenly spoke as if to herself: Follow him.
Yes. Ming Yue heard a faint voice in her ear.
In Ming Yues opinion, although this senior brother was extrely talented, he was not emotionally mature. Perhaps as a disciple of Heavenly Mountain Peak, he had always been praised and had not experienced any setbacks. Compared to Qi Bei, he was just
Ming Yue frowned. Why did she start thinking of Qi Bei again
