Chu Ling and Mu Rou rode on their horses, bringing Qin Wentian and the rest to a vast grassy field. In front of them, there was an entrance that was actually guarded by armored soldiers.
"This should be the Royal Garden of the hunting grounds." Qin Wentian gazed at the entrance. The structure was tall and majestic, exuding an aura of elegance and uniqueness. Not only that, it was extremely spacious. The descendants of the Royal Clan loved to stay here, as they entered the Dark Forest to hunt.
"His Highness the 3rd Prince and the esteemed guests from Snowcloud have yet to arrive. Please wait here and rest." A soldier walked up, as he spoke to Chu Ling and Mu Rou. The two of them dismounted their horses and waited outside.
They both knew that there were other entrances to the Royal Garden.
"What a big face the Snowcloud Country has." Chu Ling unhappily replied.
"After all, they are our guests. Let's just wait patiently." Mu Rou shook her head with a smile. At this moment, more and more people arrived, and all of them greeted Chu Ling and Mu Rou. Evidently, the majority of them were acquainted with each other. Although they weren't very familiar with each other, on the surface, they appeared to be in harmony.
"Chu Ling." At this moment, a voice drifted over. Chu Ling turned her gaze over, and upon seeing the person who spoke, she couldn't help but smile, "Ye Zhan, you're here as well."
"Yeah, I'm here." Ye Zhan smiled and nodded his head. After which, he shifted his gaze onto Qin Wentian, who was standing behind Chu Ling. Qin Wentian's eyes were ice-cold, and flashed with killing intent.
Evidently, Qin Wentian had recognized Ye Zhan. This was the person who had hunted him together with Orfon.
Ye Zhan's countenance froze for a moment before he recovered, as a light smile appeared on his face.
"Qin Wentian." Ye Zhan spat out. Immediately, several people turned their gazes towards Qin Wentian, and very quickly, they recalled this name.
After the Qin Clan, a celebrity from the Emperor Star Academy who killed Orfon from the Ou Clan.
Chu Ling's expression stiffened. This Ye Zhan was acquainted with Qin Wentian. Not only that, he even called out Qin Wentian's name in such a loud voice. This caused her to be in a difficult position. However, the Ye Clan's influence was so great that even her Violet Palace couldn't compare to it.
However, when Qin Wentian saw Liu Yan and Liu Yue standing beside Ye Zhan, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart. Back then in the Dark Forest, Ye Zhan and Orfon had chased after him and Fan Le. At that time, they had coincidentally saved Liu Yan. In order to prevent trouble from befalling Liu Yan, Qin Wentian had even instructed Liu Yan not to reveal that she was acquainted with him.
However, Qin Wentian had never expected that Liu Yan would be together with Ye Zhan. Furthermore, their relationship seemed to be quite intimate.
Ye Zhan seemed to have noticed Qin Wentian's gaze. Smiling, he pulled on Liu Yan's hand as he asked, "Yan-er, you should be acquainted with him long ago, right?"
Liu Yan's countenance was filled with awkwardness. After all, she knew that Ye Zhan had chased after Qin Wentian, and Qin Wentian had saved her and Liu Yue. From the bottom of her heart, she had a favorable impression of Qin Wentian.
"Mhm," Liu Yan lightly nodded her head, as she smiled at Qin Wentian. "Thank you for the matter back then."
"No need, just treat it as me returning the favor." Qin Wentian's countenance was calm. Everyone had their own ambitions, and Liu Yan had the right to choose. However, Liu Yan had chosen Ye Zhan, who wanted to kill him. This caused him to be in a difficult position. How should he treat Ye Zhan?
Even now, Qin Wentian still believed that Liu Yan had saved him back then.
"Hehe." Ye Zhan's smile was filled with coldness. He looked at Chu Ling and continued, "Chu Ling, Qin Wentian is a descendant of the traitorous Qin Clan. Not only that, he had killed Ye Mo and Ye Lang of the Ye Clan. Don't tell me you don't know this?"
"This bastard." Chu Ling cursed in her heart. "I didn't know that he was Qin Wentian, he was merely my bodyguard."
"Bodyguard? So that's how it is." Ye Zhan's countenance was calm. He turned around and looked at Qin Wentian as he laughed, "So it turns out that you're willing to be someone else's servant. You've really gained face for the Qin Clan."
"For the sake of Sister Yao, I'll temporarily tolerate her." Qin Wentian thought. He didn't expect Chu Ling to have such a character.
Ye Zhan guessed that the reason Qin Wentian came here today was because of Qin Yao. However, he couldn't help but coldly laugh in his heart. As a descendant of the Ye Clan, he naturally knew some insider information about today's banquet. Now that Qin Wentian had delivered himself to his doorstep, how laughable.
Holding onto Liu Yan's hand, Ye Zhan walked away with a faint smile on his face. In an instant, Chu Ling became the focal point of the crowd.
"Qin Wentian, you should go back. This place isn't suitable for you." Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Chu Ling involuntarily turned to Qin Wentian and said, "I will explain this matter to my friend. I don't wish to help you anymore."
Chu Ling's voice wasn't loud, but the crowd could still hear her clearly. Evidently, Chu Ling was entrusted by someone to bring Qin Wentian here.
"A student of the Emperor Star Academy doesn't even have the qualifications to enter this circle. This is the difference in status." Liu Yue was also paying attention to Qin Wentian, as he sighed in his heart. Ever since he stepped into the Royal Capital, he had already deeply felt that life here was different from before. Here, there were many nobles and aristocrats, and the weak were prey to the strong.
"The Ye Clan is the true trump card." Liu Yue silently mused. After which, he whispered to Liu Yan, "Liu Yan, although this Qin Wentian is interested in you, you have to draw a clear line between yourself and him."
"I know what to do." Liu Yan froze for a moment before lightly nodding her head.
As for Qin Wentian, when he heard Chu Ling's words, his expression couldn't help but stiffen. Staring at Chu Ling, he suddenly felt that it was ridiculous. Since he had already agreed to help, and they were already here, why did Chu Ling say that she wouldn't bring him in?
"What a joke. Farewell." Qin Wentian laughed. It wasn't that he didn't have a temper, but because he wanted to see Qin Yao, he endured it. Who would have thought that Chu Ling would say such a thing to him.
"What's with your attitude?" Chu Ling coldly snorted.
"Back then, if you didn't agree to help others, it would have been fine. But since you've already agreed, why are you scolding me like this? Do you really treat me like a slave? Who do you think you are?" Qin Wentian coldly glanced at Chu Ling before flicking his sleeves and leaving. His speed was extremely fast, and his movement technique was extremely exquisite. Since Chu Ling didn't want to help him, there was no way he could beg her. He could only think of another way himself.
"Mhm?" At this moment, Mu Rou noticed Qin Wentian's movement technique. Her beautiful eyes froze as her heart pounded. She was extremely familiar with this movement technique.
Mu Rou had fought against Qin Wentian many times in the Dark Forest. She was extremely familiar with this movement technique. Now that she thought about it, Qin Wentian's stature was somewhat similar to Qin Wentian's.
"It's him." Mu Rou's heart trembled.
"Wait." Mu Rou spoke, causing Qin Wentian to halt his steps as he turned his head to look at her.
"Follow me in." Mu Rou smiled at Qin Wentian, causing Qin Wentian to be puzzled.
"We are friends, aren't we? I'm bringing a friend to the banquet, there won't be any problems. " Mu Rou smiled sweetly. Although Qin Wentian was puzzled, he understood that Mu Rou wanted to help him. Hence, he didn't argue and replied, "Many thanks."
"Mu Rou." Chu Ling unhappily stared at Mu Rou. Wasn't Qin Wentian going against her?
"Chu Ling, I won't interfere in what you do. Right now, I'm bringing him in not because of you, but because of myself." Mu Rou spoke to Chu Ling, hoping that Chu Ling would understand that Qin Wentian wasn't targeting her.
"Is that so? Why do I feel that you're doing this on purpose?" Chu Ling was extremely unhappy. "Mu Rou, I treated you as a friend. Who would have thought that you would do such a thing? You've really disappointed me."
After speaking, Chu Ling turned and left.
"Chu Ling." Mu Rou still wanted to explain, but Chu Ling continued, "There's no need to say anything more. In the future, let's go our separate ways. Just pretend that I don't have a friend like you."
Mu Rou's countenance stiffened. She turned and saw Qin Wentian walking over. A smile appeared on her face, but this smile was filled with bitterness.
"Chu Ling is such a person, don't blame her." Mu Rou spoke to Qin Wentian. After which, she murmured, "Two days later, her anger towards me should dissipate."
Qin Wentian sighed in his heart. For someone who could go back on a promise to a friend, their character could be seen clearly. Mu Rou had overestimated Chu Ling, but from this, it could be seen that Mu Rou had a kind heart.
Chu Ling was a total stranger to him, yet she directly brought him in as a friend. She wasn't afraid of offending anyone. Compared to Mu Rou, Chu Ling seemed much more hypocritical.
At this moment, someone from the manor came to welcome them. After which, the guards allowed them to enter.
"Let's go." Mu Rou smiled at Qin Wentian, but she didn't expose Qin Wentian. In her heart, she was extremely astonished. The person who could contend against Yanaro was actually the new student of the Emperor Star Academy, Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian followed behind Mu Rou. They were led to a lush green grassland, with rivers on both sides. On this grassland, a banquet had already been prepared. However, as the 3rd Prince had yet to arrive, no one took their seats.
From afar, in a pavilion, a group of silhouettes walked out.
The person in the lead was a young man dressed simply and cleanly. He had a well-proportioned physique, black hair draped over his shoulders, and a pair of eyes that were filled with vigor. He was actually a handsome man.
This handsome young man had a smile in his eyes, yet it was as though there was a divine light in them. His aura was extraordinary.
Beside him, a young man dressed in white stood. Qin Wentian was actually able to recognize him. This young man was none other than the demon-level genius of the Emperor Star Academy, Luo Qianqiu.
The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder, as though they were of equal status.
After the two of them exited the pavilion, they halted their steps. The handsome young man smiled as he looked behind him, as though he was welcoming an esteemed guest. After which, a group of silhouettes walked out, and the person in the lead was none other than Qin Yao.
"His Highness, the 3rd Prince, has arrived."
"The 3rd Prince's demeanor is still as outstanding as ever. No wonder he's a Heaven's Chosen."
Smiles could be seen on the faces of the crowd, as they couldn't help but to praise the young man. The 3rd Prince, Chu Tianjiao, was also known as Heaven's Chosen. He had the highest possibility of inheriting the throne of the Chu Country, and was highly regarded by the Emperor. Not only that, his talent was extremely outstanding, and he was ranked # 2 among the 10 prodigies.
Chu Tianjiao, a Heaven's Chosen!
