Yan Chutian's question was not only the source of this terrible situation, but also the most difficult part for him to understand.
The current him had nothing in common with his previous life. Moreover, when he participated in the marriage contest, he used a randomly fabricated name. He really couldn't understand how Zhou Yuexi knew his identity.
However, once the question was asked, Yan Chutian didn't expect Zhou Yuexi to answer. After all, this might be related to some of her secrets.
However, just as Yan Chutian stopped thinking about it, he didn't expect Zhou Yuexi, who stopped in her tracks, to immediately turn her beautiful face. At the same time, her right eye was no longer ordinary.
The eyeball in the eye socket was like a planet that slowly floated and sank, and there were even starlight scattering from time to time.
With the Spiritual Eye, Yan Chutian couldn't be more familiar with strange eyes. Therefore, he easily recognized Zhou Yuexi's right eye.
"Star Eyes!"
Words with a little shock slowly came out of Yan Chutian's mouth. It was no wonder that he was shocked, because from a certain point of view, the Star Eyes were a strange eye that was even more mysterious than the Spiritual Eye.
The Spiritual Eye could see through all kinds of illusions, and the Star Eyes could see the origin of all things. Therefore, it was no wonder that Zhou Yuexi was able to see through his identity.
Under the Star Eyes, even if his body had nothing to do with the past, the origin of his consciousness wouldn't change. And Zhou Yuexi had interacted with him before, so she naturally knew what his origin of consciousness was like.
Although he knew how the other party saw through his identity, what still puzzled Yan Chutian was that this woman actually showed the Star Eyes in front of him.
It must be known that many people would choose to hide it from even their closest relatives.
At the same time, although the Star Eyes were shown, Zhou Yuexi didn't dare to say anything related to it.
Because this Star Eyes was obtained from the opportunity that she had obtained by betraying Yan Chutian.
When she first obtained it, she was indeed pleasantly surprised. However, as her regret grew, she wanted nothing more than to dig it out.
It was also because of this that Zhou Yuexi didn't dare to say it out loud. Otherwise, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to withstand Yan Chutian's gaze and would directly collapse.
What made Zhou Yuexi feel relieved was that Yan Chutian didn't ask much about Xing Mou's origin. After knowing, he signaled for her to continue to leave.
After Zhou Yuexi left, Yan Chutian finally calmed down. No matter what, he believed that the other party would not disregard his own life. As long as he could hold on until he left the divine continent, nothing else mattered.
…
In the guest room, Yan Chutian quietly sat cross-legged until night fell. However, just as he thought that he would continue to spend the night, a silhouette's aura appeared outside the door.
"Young Master Yan, tonight's banquet is about to begin.
The City Lord has specially invited Young Master to attend the banquet. "
Hearing the gentle words of the servant girl outside the door, Yan Chutian's mind was not relaxed. Although he believed that Zhou Yuexi's father should not know his true identity.
However, he had to be careful when interacting with a cultivator at the peak of the Heaven's Mansion Realm. He couldn't reveal any flaws.
The best way was naturally to meet him as little as possible. However, this banquet was personally hosted by him. If he didn't go, it would be equivalent to offending him.
Even if he could find a reason to deal with it, it wouldn't be easy when he proposed to exchange for the teleportation array in two days.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Yan Chutian still chose to attend the banquet. Therefore, in the next moment, he stood up, opened the door, and followed the servant girl to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
In the hall, a large table had already been set up for the banquet. The two people at the top were naturally the City Lord of the Divine City and Zhou Yuexi. On the other side, Longhong, Wang Mang, and the other three had already taken their seats. Only Yan Chutian was missing.
Yan Chutian's gaze swept over, immediately causing Zhou Yuexi's heart to become slightly nervous. For tonight's banquet, she carefully dressed up. This was something she had not done for many years, and the reason was naturally for Yan Chutian.
However, to her disappointment, Yan Chutian did not seem to notice her makeup today. As if he was looking at someone else, he calmly glanced away.
"Haha … since everyone is here, the banquet will begin."
At the top of the table, the City Lord of the Divine City beside Zhou Yuexi said with a faint smile. As his smile faded, numerous servant girls holding exquisite dishes presented them in front of everyone.
Immediately, rich Spiritual Qi filled the entire hall. For cultivators who had just entered the elixir stage, it could be treated as a cultivation treasure ground.
With such a scene, Longhong and Wang Mang were both of extraordinary birth. Naturally, they had seen and heard of it, and were able to calmly look at it. However, the two rogue cultivators beside Yan Chutian were clearly unable to do so.
Seeing this, Yan Chutian purposely pretended to be shocked. Otherwise, it would attract the attention of others, and that would become a problem.
Yan Chutian's pretense was extremely realistic. When Wang Mang's gaze inadvertently swept over, it revealed a trace of disdain before retracting it, and did not take another look.
As for Longhong, he did not care about Yan Chutian and the others. Instead, he closely watched Zhou Yuexi's movements. A refined and gentle smile always hung on his handsome face.
It was not difficult for Yan Chutian to know that this Longhong should be pursuing Zhou Yuexi. He could not help but sneer. Because this guy did not know what kind of things that woman could do when faced with an opportunity.
However, Yan Chutian did not want to care about other people's matters. What he wanted to do was to quietly pass this banquet.
Although there was an extra banquet, tonight was still calm. As the few people continued to curry favor with Zhou Yuexi, Yan Chutian also pretended to come.
Last time. He did not ask for outstanding results, but only to not attract any attention.
Fortunately, in Yan Chutian's opinion, this woman, Zhou Yuexi, was also cooperative, so this banquet quickly passed by in peace.
In the next two days, there were still banquet-like events held one after another. Their purpose was the same, to give the five of them a chance to curry favor with Zhou Yuexi.
And every single time, the City Lord of the Divine City would appear. Thus, Yan Chutian had no choice but to appear every single time and put on an act as she gently indicated to Zhou Yuexi.
Fortunately, nothing unusual happened in these two days. The three days of staying in the City Lord's Mansion finally arrived at the end.
Early in the morning, the five of them were waiting in the City Lord's Mansion's main hall. However, this time, not to mention the two rogue cultivators, even Long Hong and Wang Mang had slightly tense expressions.
Needless to say, Long Hong liked Zhou Yuexi very much. Although Wang Mang was not the same, his father had ordered him to do his best to become the City Lord's son-in-law.
Thus, when it was time to announce the results, how could they still be as calm as they were three days ago?
At this time, only by having the same goal as Yan Chutian would he be able to calm his heart. But even so, he still pretended to be looking forward to it.
After the three of them waited for a moment, a tall and thin middle-aged man slowly walked out from the depths of the hall. This middle-aged man was the City Lord of the Divine City.
"Greetings, City Lord!"
"..."
Immediately, the few of them bowed in unison. Yan Chutian had no choice but to do so.
Fortunately, although the City Lord was from the Divine Realm, his usual appearance and attitude were not overbearing and arrogant. He could be considered to be approachable.
After the five of them stood up, the City Lord of the Divine City finally spoke.
"I, Zhou Yi, would like to apologize here. Although all of you are very outstanding, my daughter does not have a candidate that she likes."
In a few short words, the result was clearly announced. Hearing this, Long Hong's expression could not help but change slightly. However, he reacted quickly and immediately replied respectfully, "City Lord, you are too serious. Yuexi does not like us. We are not fated. There is no need for City Lord to apologize."
Long Hong's answer obviously made the City Lord of the Divine City, Zhou Yi, extremely satisfied. As the expression on his face became gentler, he continued to speak slowly, "Although my daughter does not have a candidate that she likes, I will not let you come here in vain. Each of you can make a request. As long as it is within the power of my City Lord's Mansion, I will fulfill it for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yi's gaze was fixed on Long Hong. Not only because his previous words satisfied him, but also because he was the champion of the marriage contest.
"Uncle Zhou, Long Hong only came for Yuexi. I don't need anything else."
Under Zhou Yi's gaze, Long Hong said some extremely beautiful words. Although the former knew that it was artificial, he could not help but feel satisfied in the depths of his eyes.
