Some matters, could not be resolved simply by discussions.

Amid countless discussions in Flame City, the sun rose from the east the next day, Its radiance spreading over the entire Flame City, setting aflame the hearts of everyone.

The National Teacher of Dajiang Country, accompanied by Xiao Ji, entered the Hua family’s estate. His proud and confident stride drew the gaze of countless bystanders.

This circumstance was inevitable. The National Teacher of Dajiang Country’s visit to Nether Sun Country had even prompted the royal house to send a princess as a sign of respect.

Princess Changfeng was a Nascent Soul Stage Expert. Among many princes and princesses in the Nether Sun Country, her talent surpassed even Princess Changyang’s. However, she was not as fortunate as Changyang, who was able to join a major power like the Heavenly Martial Sect.

Despite this, Princess Changfeng, through her efforts, reached the Nascent Soul Stage in her twenties while in the royal palace of the Nether Sun Country just two or three years later than Hua Youyue.

Such talent was renowned in the Nether Sun Country, with even rumors suggesting that unless Princess Changyang worked doubly hard, she would continually be overshadowed by Princess Changfeng.

The arrival of Princess Changfeng in Flame City to greet the National Teacher of Dajiang Country had pushed his status to the apex. Despite reservations from some hoping that the marriage alliance would not come to fruition, the firmness in their speech was not as pronounced as it had been three days prior. “Look, that’s Xiao Ji. His disarming appearance suits his distinguished background and talent. He’s a perfect match for the Flower Tower Master.” “In my opinion, Xiao Ji is too haughty. His excessive pride might not be a good thing.”

“Haughty? Look at him! He’s nothing but an upstart. The pompous way he walks shows he is full of himself. Nonetheless, it’s to be expected given his status and power.”

An elegant youth assisted the National Teacher of Dajiang Country, maintaining an amiable countenance. Slowly, they entered the Hua family estate.

Look, Princess Changfeng’s phoenix chariot is here!”

“Having the opportunity to see the elegance of Princess Changfeng makes this long trip worth it.”

She’s getting out of the chariot! As expected of the National Teacher of Dajiang Country; such treatment brings envy. Princess Changfeng even got out ofhercarriageto welcome him.”

In the crowd, a young woman wearing a blue dress gracefully stood, silently waiting for the arrival of the National Teacher.

“Honorable National Teacher!” The Princess Changfeng offered her courteous greetings as he approached.

The National Teacher kindly helped Princess Changfeng back to her feet, “Time flies like a galloping horse, the young Miss Changfeng has really grown. How is your father’s health?”

The princess reciprocated his smiling gesture, “Thank you for your concern, my father has been quite well.”

A flurry of cordial conversation ensued, causing a commotion within the group gathered at the entrance.

Lan Fangyue and Ding Keqi then made their arrival. They naturally exchanged formal greetings upon seeing the National Teacher.

All eyes were constantly falling on Xiao Ji, who responded smoothly to the attention, maintaining a gentle smile that had others nodding in approval. From their standpoint, although Xiao Ji was young, both his demeanor and cultivation were impeccable.

Within the Hua household, Hua Youyue sat quietly by the window, contemplating the direction of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower.

At her side, a young girl in her early teens lamented, “Lady Youyue, you have been sitting here for three days. Frowning all day is not a solution. Xiao Ji is about to come to our house. Shouldn’t you think of something? What if the elders approve of this marriage, will you really marry him?’¹

Hua Youyue regained her thoughts, glanced at the miffed little girl and said, “You are still young, you won’t understand. If I were to object now, the opposition to this matter would only grow stronger. How are the tasks I assigned you coming along?”

The young girl pouted, sitting on the stool she spoke helplessly, “What that old man brought was too precious. Even if you added up everything in Changyue Tower, I’m afraid you still couldn’t offer something of equal value.”

Hua Youyue paused, then asked, “How could that be possible?”

The young girl spoke anxiously, “Recently, the expenses of Changyue Tower have been too high. Most of our valuable goods are not in Flame City. We need time to bring them from other places. Perhaps, we should try to run away?” Hua Youyue replied with a gentle smile, shaking her head, “Never refer to the royal tutor as an old man in front of others. After all, he is a high-ranking official in Dajiang Country.”

“So what if he’s a royal tutor? In my eyes, he’s not worth even one strand of your hair, Sister Yue.”

Hua Youyue couldn’t help but smile. Looking out the window, she asked, “Huanhuan, if a person only had less than one-third of his vitality left, could he still survive?”

Huanhuan widened her eyes, “Are you still waiting for Yang Zhen? Even if he had half his vitality left, how could he get out of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower? I heard that the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower has been sealed off. Nobody can enter anymore. Even if Yang Zhen was the most capable man in the world, he could only wait for death inside.”

At this point, Huanhuan suddenly covered her small mouth and exclaimed in surprise, “Sister Yue, you didn’t really fall for Yang Zhen, did you?” Hua Youyue sighed, shaking her head as she said, “How could that be possible? Yang Zhen and I follow different paths. There’s no way we can be together Although we could possibly still be friends, we certainly couldn’t be Dao partners. I just thought that if he were here, maybe he could prevent the royal tutor’s proposal.”

After saying this, a hint of loneliness appeared at the corner of Hua Youyue’s mouth. She muttered to herself, “Has he, really and truly, died?”

Huanhuan stared blankly at Hua Youyue. She found it hard to believe that her sister, whom most of the young talents in Flame City admired, was staying up all night and forgetting meals for a man.

Hua Youyue had said that she didn’t like Yang Zhen, and Huanhuan didn’t doubt her words a bit. Hua Youyue never lied and was always honest with her feelings. So if she said she didn’t like him, then she didn’t.

Well, at least she didn’t like him yet. What surprised Huanhuan was that she had never seen Hua Youyue so interested in a man, and she couldn’t stop thinking about him even after his death.

Can men and women really be just friends?

Huanhuan tilted her small head looking in the direction of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, as two beautiful women of different ages both sighed, and propped up their chins with their hands.

It was not until a knock came on the door that Hua Youyue and Huanhuan were shocked back to reality.

Miss, the head of the house invites you to the council hall.”

A servant’s voice came from outside the door. Hua Youyue nodded and responded, “I’m coming!”

Inside the Hua Family council hall, the hosts and guests were seated. The head of the Hua Family, Hua Jingshan, was an energetic middle-aged man. With a majestic yet serious demeanor, he watched the royal tutor of Dajiang Country with a stern gaze.

on either side of the main seat, the royal tutor of Dajiang Country was placed on the right by the head of the Hua Family. Around them were four elders of the Hua Family and Princess Changfeng, Lan Fangyue, and Ding Kiqi.

Further down were the guests, the Medicine Elder and several other guests of Changyue Tower.

Xiao Ji stood beside the Dajiang Country’s royal tutor, behaving neither submissive nor arrogant.

In the council hall, everyone was assessing Xiao Ji. Despite his young age, he remained calm and retained his humble smile under such circumstances,’ gaining the approval of many people present.

If Yang Zhen had been there, he would have definitely recognized that Xiao Ji was a new talent in the art of showing off, a clever manipulator who understood well that a celebrity should never act like a fool.

“We are greatly honored by the royal tutor of Dajiang Country’s affection, and his earnest intentions have brought him to our Hua Family to propose for his disciple. As this matter involves the marriage of my daughter, which is of great significance, we should listen to everyone’s opinion. What do you all think of this potential marital alliance?”

The head of the Hua Family, Hua Jingshan, said with a chuckling gaze over the crowd..
