In the royal palace of the Royal Azure Kingdom.
Due to the sudden cancellation of the martial arts contest, many forces were dissatisfied. Most forces only needed to compensate them a little.
However, some sage orthodoxies were not so easily fooled.
Hence, the Royal Azure Kingdom King set up a grand banquet to entertain these orthodoxies' sky-prides.
In the luxurious palace.
A group of sky-prides gathered, looking at the delicacies before them. However, they had no intention of enjoying it at all. Their hearts were burning with anger.
They had come all the way here to participate in the martial arts contest, yet it was suddenly canceled. It would be strange if they did not mind.
Everyone was waiting for the Royal Azure Kingdom King to give them an explanation.
However, some people noticed an unfamiliar sky-pride in the banquet. That person's seat was extremely close to the front, even closer to the main seat than Fangtian, Yuanhong, and the other top sky-prides.
"Who is that?"
Some people were curious.
However, at that moment, two figures walked into the palace. It was Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu.
Upon seeing him, the crowd started to discuss.
"What's Chu Kuangren doing here? Didn't they say he's not interested in the martial arts contest? "
"Yeah, everyone here is here to demand an explanation for the martial arts contest. If this guy isn't interested, what's he doing here?"
Facing the puzzled looks from the crowd, Chu Kuangren remained calm. Under the guidance of a palace maid, he found his seat and sat down.
He sat very close to the front, in the same row as Gu Changge.
"F * ck, why am I sitting together with this guy?" Gu Changge cursed in her heart, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Chu Kuangren did not mind at all. In fact, he was happy to see Gu Changge's sullen look. Admittedly, he could be a little two-faced at times.
Suddenly, a hostile gaze landed on him.
When Chu Kuangren looked back, he saw that the green-robed cultivator was staring at him with intense hostility in his eyes.
An unfamiliar sky-pride?
However, where did this hostility come from?
Puzzled, Chu Kuangren used his Eye of Revelation to check.
"Shang Han, Shang clan's Young Emperor, Paradise Realm …"
Chu Kuangren came to a realization.
'So it's the Shang clan's Young Emperor. No wonder he's so hostile towards me. After all, I gave him a bad name. '
Chu Kuangren looked at Shang Han with pity.
Crack …
As if sensing the pity in Chu Kuangren's eyes, Shang Han clenched his fist and crushed the wine glass in his hand into dust.
When the surrounding sky-prides saw this, their hearts skipped a beat.
This unfamiliar sky-pride was not on good terms with Chu Kuangren.
When they thought of this, they felt that Shang Han was much more pleasing to the eye. Some of them even felt that they were in the same boat.
Perhaps all of them were sky-prides who had been defeated by Chu Kuangren before.
"The King has arrived."
The Royal Azure Dynasty King walked over with the Empress, followed by Princess Linglong. Upon seeing this, the crowd of sky-prides stood up to welcome them. Most of them had their eyes on Princess Linglong who was behind the Royal Azure Dynasty King.
Today, Princess Linglong was dressed in an embroidered robe. Her hair was tied up with a nine-feathered phoenix hairpin. She had a beautiful face and a noble temperament.
Chu Kuangren instinctively looked over as well.
Their gazes met for a moment and then separated.
However, in Shang Han's eyes, this scene was like a pair of intimate Taoist companions gazing at each other with a tacit understanding. There was an ambiguous feeling brewing.
The haze in Shang Han's eyes deepened when he thought about this.
"Don't stand on ceremony, everyone. Take a seat."
The Royal Azure Dynasty King smiled.
Once everyone was seated, the Royal Azure Dynasty King went straight to the point. "I know that everyone is dissatisfied with the martial arts contest. That's why I've arranged this banquet to explain and compensate everyone."
"After this banquet, your orthodoxies may send a representative to the treasury to pick a treasure."
The Royal Azure Dynasty's treasury was where the Royal Azure Dynasty's heritage was located. There were countless treasures inside, and the Royal Azure Dynasty King's sincerity was evident by allowing them to pick a treasure.
Only then did the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts dissipate.
After all, the Royal Azure Dynasty King did not want to participate in the martial arts contest. What else could they do?
To be able to obtain a treasure without having to do anything was already a great thing for them.
Although the treasure was definitely not as valuable as the Godly Essence, even if the martial arts contest were to continue, they would not be able to stand out.
But this treasure was real, and it could be obtained.
"I wonder if the Royal Azure Dynasty King can explain why the martial arts contest was suddenly canceled?" Fangtian was still curious.
"That's what I'm about to say. The main reason for canceling the martial arts contest is that Linglong already has someone in her heart. Coincidentally, that person is among you." The Royal Azure Dynasty King smiled.
Everyone looked at each other when they heard that.
"Who is it? Which b * stard has won the princess' heart?"
"It can't be Chu Kuangren, right? The princess has shown interest in him a few times."
"That can't be. Didn't Chu Kuangren say that he has no interest in Princess Linglong? He didn't even want to participate in the martial arts contest. "
"Then who could it be?"
Some people looked at Princess Linglong, trying to figure out something from her. However, they realized that her gaze was fixed somewhere.
When they followed her gaze, all they saw was Chu Kuangren.
Fangtian, Yuanhong, and the others' hearts skipped a beat.
'No way, no way, no way, is it really Chu Kuangren?'
"This person is the Black Heaven Sect's Elder Senior Brother, Chu Kuangren!" While everyone was still in shock, the Royal Azure Dynasty King spoke.
Everyone's gazes were instantly focused on Chu Kuangren.
"Besides that, I've already formed a marriage alliance with the Black Heaven Sect. From now on, Chu Kuangren will be the Fiancé of the Royal Azure Dynasty."
Before the crowd could recover from their shock, the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler dropped another bombshell, causing everyone to be dumbfounded.
Fangtian, Yuanhong, and the others looked at Chu Kuangren with bloodshot eyes.
'F * ck you!'
'Didn't you say that you're not interested in the princess?
How did you become the Fiancé of the Royal Azure Dynasty in the blink of an eye? '
'It's bad enough that you've taken all the treasures in the Secret Realm, but now you want Princess Linglong as well. You're not giving us a chance at all!'
Everyone lost their composure.
In their hearts, they cursed Chu Kuangren to no end.
'But what use is that?'
Not only did Chu Kuangren take all the treasures in the Secret Realm of the Luminous Moon, he even became the Fiancé of the Royal Azure Dynasty.
"Father, I don't agree!"
At that moment, Gu Changge jumped out.
'Are you kidding me? If Chu Kuangren gets the Godly Essence and becomes the Fiancé, I'll go crazy with anger!'
"Shut up!"
The Royal Azure Dynasty King snorted with a cold gaze. "You're the Crown Prince of the Royal Azure Dynasty. What a disgrace!"
He was the one who arranged the marriage alliance with the Black Heaven Sect. How could he cancel it just because Gu Changge disagreed?
"Father, Chu Kuangren is too arrogant. He's definitely not a suitable candidate to be the Fiancé!" Gu Changge said loudly.
"If I say he's suitable, then he's suitable. As for being arrogant? Which young man isn't arrogant? What's wrong with that? "
"Father …"
"Crown Prince, are you drunk?"
Just as Gu Changge was about to say something, the Royal Azure Dynasty King stared at him and said indifferently. That indifferent attitude was a sign of his anger.
