Chapter 37: Senior Brother Feng Tian
Qi Bei smiled, his half-squinted black eyes shimmering with a cold light.
Yes, he was no longer infatuated with Princess Ming Yue, but regardless, she was still his betrothed in name.
He couldnt tolerate any man meddling with their personal affairs.
And what of the disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Peak? Taking someones 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 engagement ceremony would not be so peaceful.
.
Dreaming Moon Palace.
The colorful magic lights adorned the Dreaming Moon Palace, making the preparations for the princesss engagement even more elaborate than those of the groom.
At this moment, 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 engagement 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 remembering 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 former him had never been so sharp-eyed, so straight-backed!
Ming Yue was dressed in a snow-white fringe palace dress, walking like a fairy who came out of the holy light.
Senior Brother, is there anything you need from me so late? You know that tomorrow is my engagement day and there are many trivial matters to prepare. Ming Yue said calmly, with the obvious meaning of sending him off.
However, Feng Tian seemed 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 came here just to talk about this matter, please leave. Ming Yue said, feeling a little unhappy.
Junior sister, you told me 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 came here to give you something. I brought a gift for my first meeting 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 meteorites 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 meeting. 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 extremely 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
