Chapter 861: Chapter 855: Princess Yu Yue
Although it has been a long ti since they t, the familiar feeling in his bones was still unerasable.
Nangong Yao had grown up, no longer the little girl she used to be, nor the chubby girl in his mory.
Ye Xuan recognized Nangong Yao at a glance, but the latter did not recognize him. Wearing a mask and not particularly focused, it was clearly impossible for her to recognize him.
However, judging by Nangong Yao’s deanor, her reaction to the selection tournant seed sowhat indifferent.
This
With Nangong Yao’s appearance, the atmosphere inside imdiately beca lively, and many people felt a burning excitent in their hearts. The Nangong Princess truly is a rare beauty; her identity was already extrely noble, and her appearance added further glamor.
At this mont, Emperor Yu and his top experts, along with a dozen or so beautiful maids, were all standing on the high platform.
Emperor Yu looked like he was in his forties, with a beard, donned in a golden robe, radiating an imposing aura. He looked at an elderly man in a red robe beside him and said: “Yan Shi, who do you think will win first place in this selection tournant and marry the Nangong Princess?”
The elderly man referred to as Yan Shi had crane-like hair and a youthful appearance, exuding an aura of transcendent elegance, and laughed: “Blood Sword Saint Cang Wugui, renowned throughout the world, possessing deep cultivation and superb swordsmanship, might have a chance to win first place.”
On the other side, a woman smiled and said: “Cang Wugui is indeed highly gifted, but it’s a pity he’s far older than the princess. I think Young Master Wan Xu has a much greater chance. He is only twenty-eight years old, has already reached the Seventh Grade Martial Saint realm, and he is a disciple favored by the Empress, with boundless potential.”
Sitting not far away, another elderly man smiled and said: “Age is not an issue. Cang Wugui is indeed a bit older, but I think Heavenly Magnetic Saint is just about right. I have fought against him, and his strength is not far from that of the Seven-Star Purple Gold Commander. I believe he is a qualified candidate.”
Everyone was recomnding soone related to them. Those popular powerhouses participating in the tournant would more or less make connections in advance, send gifts, and establish relationships with the influential figures in Fengtian City, which could be useful.
The few people were arguing heatedly to recomnd their own candidate.
“Alright, I’ve seen the people you ntioned. They are indeed top talents. However, since this is a selection tournant, naturally, the choice should be based on rit. Whoever has the strongest strength is the best candidate. Of course, while strength is the most important criterion, other factors should also be considered comprehensively.”
Emperor Yu spoke, then he looked at Nangong Yao beside him, “Yaoer, am I right?”
Yet his question didn’t receive a response, as Nangong Yao’s gaze was wandering as if she was looking for soone.
“Yaoer?”
Emperor Yu frowned.
“Oh, you are right.”
Nangong Yao seed sowhat disappointed and just casually responded. Then she bit her lip, “Didn’t co, huh?”
“Didn’t co, who didn’t co?”
Emperor Yu looked slightly surprised.
“It’s nothing, just soone irrelevant.” Nangong Yao shook her head, not speaking further.
However, regarding Nangong Yao’s words, Emperor Yu didn’t quite believe it. An irrelevant person but she still seed distracted while talking to him.
But since Nangong Yao didn’t say anything, he naturally wouldn’t gossip about it.
“Could it be that he doesn’t know the news, which is impossible? Now the whole Eastern Realm knows about this matter. Has he already forgotten about ?”
Nangong Yao’s pretty face was sowhat troubled. The person she was naturally looking for was Ye Xuan, but she just couldn’t find him.
“Sister Nangong, is the person you’re looking for not here?” Near Emperor Yu and Nangong Yao stood a young woman, who was the sa woman Ye Xuan had encountered in the tavern previously.
This woman was also a prominent figure in Fengtian City, Emperor Yu’s niece, known as Princess Yu Yue.
“No.”
Nangong Yao bit her lip, looking sowhat dejected.
“Then never mind, n are all fickle,” Princess Yu Yue advised, “He clearly doesn’t have you in his heart, otherwise why wouldn’t he attend such a well-known event? Even if his strength is lacking, he should have at least tried.”
Nangong Yao was sowhat conflicted, worrying not about Ye Xuan being unfaithful, for she knew Ye Xuan’s character well, but whether Ye Xuan had no such feelings for her, that it was all unrequited.
“Alas.”
Princess Yu Yue, looking like she’d been through it, casually turned her gaze to the crowd, where she spotted Ye Xuan.
“Isn’t that guy the one from the tavern?”
Princess Yu Yue recognized Ye Xuan, even though he was wearing a mask. She rembered his clothing from that ti, with the sa attire, just with a mask now, which she couldn’t fail to recognize.
“He ca after all, dared to threaten then. I must make him taste so severity.”
Princess Yu Yue smirked coldly, imagining Ye Xuan’s naïve attempt to deceive her with a mask.
At this mont, on the Battle Martial Platform at the Heavenly Phoenix Garden.
Two Martial Saints were simultaneously stepping onto the platform and beginning their challenge.
Both Martial Saints were strong, young talents capable of showcasing Martial Arts that amazed the audience.
Sitting above were Princess Yu Yue and Nangong Yao, feeling quite bored watching the duel between these two talents.
In their view, today’s tournant first place was certainly going to be one of Young Master Wan Xu, Cang Wugui, or Heavenly Magnetic Saint.
One of them would definitely be the Prince Consort candidate, while the other geniuses were rely apparent in comparison to them.
Watching their duel was simply uninteresting.
Just then, Princess Yu Yue noticed Ye Xuan standing in the very back of the crowd, her eyes lighting up slightly, a cold look crossing her face as she seed to co up with an idea aid at Ye Xuan.
At this mont, the two geniuses on the Battle Martial Platform had already decided the winner.
A genius nad Duan Long erged victorious, defeating the other genius nad Duanmu Kong.
Seeing Duan Long standing on the Battle Martial Platform, Princess Yu Yue suddenly stood up, her bright eyes and teeth smiling radiantly, saying: “Mr. Duan is indeed a young genius, with outstanding swordsmanship, earning the admiration of this Princess.”
Hearing Princess Yu Yue’s praise, Duan Long was flattered and hurriedly bowed to her.
Princess Yu Yue glanced at Ye Xuan in the distance, suddenly saying: “Unfortunately, Mr. Duan’s swordsmanship, though high, is no match for that masked expert. I heard that even though he is only a Fourth Grade Martial Saint in cultivation, he can defeat enemies of three ranks higher. Moreover, he once said to this Princess that among today’s geniuses, unless he is second in swordsmanship, no one dares claim first.”
