About an hour later, Ouyang Feng returned with the princess. The commotion in the Jin Kingdom did not escape the notice of the people from the Southern Song Dynasty. The Childes were originally indifferent, but when they saw the Princess of Double Cultivation, they immediately became excited.
One by one, they ran out to strike up a conversation with them and kept asking about their well-being. Many of them even patted their chests and offered to help them, intentionally or unintentionally boasting about how powerful their families were in the Southern Song Dynasty.
"Men …" The yellow-robed girl crossed her arms and leaned against the door. She could not help but sneer at those people's shameful behavior.
On the other hand, Xue Baochai's cheeks were burning hot because her brother was the most active among them. He kept circling around the girl and bragging about her. After all, among this group of people, no one could compare to the Xue Family in terms of family power.
"I am Xue Pan, may I ask for your name?" Xue Pan struck a pose that he thought was the most handsome, and the others followed suit. Although her face was hidden behind a veil, her slender figure, picturesque brows, and snow-white skin were enough to tell that she was a stunning beauty as long as one wasn't blind.
It was a pity that the dual-cultivator princess kept a cold face the whole time and ignored their enthusiasm. However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd. These rich playboys usually saw women who were submissive and submissive, and it was rare to see such a cold and elegant beauty. Moreover, it was not an act at all. Everything was natural, and there was a faint sense of nobility. This kind of temperament could not help but fascinate the rich playboys.
Song Qingshu was originally discussing important matters with the others in the room. Seeing that the people of the House of Double Cultivation had already arrived, and hearing the commotion outside, he was worried that something might happen, so he came out to see what was going on.
Seeing a group of Childes pestering the Princess of Double Cultivation, Song Qingshu could not help laughing. Beautiful women were indeed the center of attention wherever they went. At the same time, he felt a little strange. The Princess of Double Cultivation was no less beautiful than the Princess. Why did Xue Pan and the others not pester her?
After all, etiquette was prevalent in the Southern Song Dynasty. No matter how beautiful the Princess of Double Cultivation was, she was already married. In front of so many people, how would these Childes from Lin 'an dare to pester a married woman? Wouldn't their families become the laughing stock of the entire capital if the news spread back to Lin' an?
However, he didn't have to worry about the Dual Cultivation Princess. As the saying goes, a fair and graceful lady is a gentleman's desire. It would be a good story if it was spread back to his family.
Song Qingshu could smile at everything, but the others weren't so magnanimous. When Dugu Ming saw that his fiancée was being pestered by so many young men, he pulled a long face and hurriedly ran over to push the crowd away.
"Xian 'er, are you alright?" Dugu Ming subconsciously wanted to hold her little hand, but the girl turned around and avoided his touch.
"Whether I'm fine or not, there's no need for Young City Lord to be concerned." The Dual Cultivator Princess said coldly. Although she didn't like him, she still held a grudge against him for running away just now.
Dugu Ming smiled bitterly. "Xian 'er, I know you're blaming me. But in that situation, if I stayed, we would all die together. We might as well break out of the encirclement and look for reinforcements. Didn't we find reinforcements for you the moment we escaped danger?"
"Wait for you to find reinforcements …" The Dual Cultivator Princess snorted and didn't continue speaking. In her mind, the imposing figure in the inn appeared. Sigh, he left without saying goodbye. He didn't even know his name and appearance. Would there be any hope of seeing him again in this lifetime?
At this moment, Xue Pan and the rest had already recovered from their daze. They looked at Dugu Ming with an unfriendly expression. "Who are you? Can't you see that the lady doesn't want to talk to you? Why are you pestering her? "
Dugu Ming was already filled with anger. When he heard the other party's words, he couldn't help but laugh. "Who am I? I'm her fiancée. No, she's my fiancée! "
He was so angry that he was muddle-headed!
Hearing his reply, Xue Pan and the rest couldn't help but freeze. If they were really engaged, it wouldn't be good for them to interfere. The people of the Song Dynasty were very particular about etiquette. If both parties were engaged, normal people wouldn't dare to interfere.
The Dual Cultivator Princess frowned. "Who's your fiancée?!"
"Xian 'er ~" Dugu Ming's expression changed.
The Dual Cultivator Princess said directly, "That's right. Peerless City and the Dual Cultivator Residence have a tradition of marriage. However, this isn't a foregone conclusion. I've never agreed to it. Furthermore, you abandoned us at the last minute. All the more we won't agree to this marriage."
"Xian 'er, don't mess around." Seeing the tense atmosphere, the Dual Cultivator Madam hurriedly tried to smooth things over. She said to Dugu Ming, "Young City Lord, Xian 'er has just experienced danger and hasn't calmed down yet. I hope you won't take offense."
Dugu Ming forced a smile. "Madam is right. I was too impatient and offended Sister Xian 'er."
The Dual Cultivator Madam pulled her daughter to the side and whispered, "Xian 'er, don't throw a tantrum. The Dual Cultivator Residence and Peerless City have always been on good terms. Don't ruin this relationship because of you."
The Dual Cultivator Princess twitched her mouth. "Mother, it's easy for you to say that. You didn't marry City Lord Dugu back then. Why do you want me to marry him now?"
"I …" The Dual Cultivator Madam was instantly speechless. She thought of some past events and sighed as she looked towards the east. She no longer had the intention to persuade her.
"Tsk, I thought we were really engaged. So it was just a one-sided story." Seeing the Dual Cultivator Princess deny it, Xue Pan immediately became spirited.
"Brat, are you asking for a beating?!" Dugu Ming was furious. Although he had heard that Xue Pan's family was very powerful in the Southern Song Dynasty, Peerless City was far away in the Western Region. They weren't even close to the Southern Song Dynasty. There was no need to be afraid of him.
"What are you pretending for? Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Although Xue Pan was a little guilty, how could a man back down at such a crucial moment? He glared at the Dual Cultivator Princess while glancing to the side. He hoped that his sister would notice what was going on and remember to save him in time.
"What's all this fuss about?!" At this moment, Song Qingshu and Wanyan Zhongjie had already walked out. They had many important matters to discuss and didn't have the time to watch these people fight.
"You're lucky." Dugu Ming didn't want to offend Wanyan Zhongjie just now. However, he still pointed at Xue Pan, his eyes full of provocation.
"Damn it, these barbarians are really despicable!" Xue Pan rolled up his sleeves. However, he knew his own limits and didn't rush forward.
The Dual Cultivator Princess originally had a cold and indifferent expression. However, when her gaze swept across Song Qingshu, her body suddenly trembled and her beautiful eyes exploded with a look of disbelief.
She couldn't help but walk in front of Song Qingshu and stare at him in a daze. "Have we … met before?"
Song Qingshu was startled. I've already changed my clothes. How can you still recognize me? However, he reacted quickly and replied with a smile, "Do all women from the Western Regions strike up a conversation like this?"
"No, no …" Even through the veil, everyone could see that the Dual Cultivator Princess's face had turned red. Even though she was shy, she still blinked her large eyes and carefully sized up the man in front of her.
Xue Pan and the others were all dumbfounded. When we came looking for you, you were still acting like an icy beauty. Why did you suddenly become so enthusiastic when you saw Jia Baoyu? Is that guy really so much more handsome than us?
Xue Pan and the others weren't the only ones confused. Even the yellow-clothed woman and Xue Baochai looked curiously at Song QingShu, wondering why he seemed to have so many secrets on him after his return.
