The person who had just arrived was none other than the number one beauty in Chu, Mo Qingcheng.
Mo Qingcheng slowly walked forward, as the gazes of the crowd followed her footsteps. However, very quickly, their countenances froze. Mo Qingcheng seemed to be moving in the direction of Mu Rou.
"Mu Rou and Mo Qingcheng shouldn't have any relationship, right?" The hearts of the crowd mused. Not long after, Mo Qingcheng stood in front of Mu Rou. Staring at her back, the crowd had expressions of bewilderment on their faces. However, Qin Wentian discovered that Mo Qingcheng's gaze was actually on him.
Casting a glance to his left and right, Qin Wentian discovered that he was the only one beside him.
"Qin Wentian." Mo Qingcheng called out in a low voice. As the sound of her voice faded, the pupils of the crowd all narrowed.
Qin Wentian? Mo Qingcheng was here to look for Qin Wentian? They couldn't help but suspect if they had heard wrongly.
It was said that Qin Wentian came to attend this banquet as Chu Ling's servant. Earlier, they were still talking about him.
"What's the matter?" Qin Wentian inclined his head, and the instant he saw that silhouette, his heart involuntarily palpitated.
A countenance that could topple empires, an absolute beauty shyly standing there, her eyes like limpid autumn waters. This scene was simply too beautiful.
He naturally recognized her. For a woman like Mo Qingcheng, no matter who saw her, they would never be able to forget her.
"I have a matter to discuss with you. Can you come with me?" Mo Qingcheng softly spoke, causing the gazes of the crowd to freeze. They hadn't heard wrongly, Mo Qingcheng actually invited Qin Wentian to be alone with her.
In their memories, in the Royal Capital of Chu, there had never been a man who received such treatment.
"Sure." Qin Wentian directly agreed. He originally didn't want to stay here any longer, so he stood up and left the banquet. Mo Qingcheng nodded her head lightly to Chu Tianjiao, and didn't even bother to glance at the others as she left together with Qin Wentian.
Staring at the back of the two of them, the entire banquet hall was incomparably silent. Many people stared at Qin Wentian, their eyes gleaming with a cold light.
"Qin Wentian." Liu Yue's expression was ice-cold. Clearly, he was jealous. Beside him, Liu Yan's expression was exceptionally interesting.
However, Mo Qingcheng and Qin Wentian obviously didn't know what they were thinking. The two of them walked to a grassy area far away. Mo Qingcheng slowly turned and looked at Qin Wentian.
"I'm sorry about that day." Mo Qingcheng lowered her head as she apologetically replied. Looking at her expression, Qin Wentian found it extremely hard to blame her. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Femme fatale. Luckily, his mental fortitude was extremely tough. If it was an ordinary youth facing such a situation, they would definitely find it hard to maintain their composure.
"We don't even know each other. Why are you apologizing to me?" Although Qin Wentian's heart was in turmoil, he still remained calm and replied.
"So you're still blaming me? However, I didn't know that you were Qin Wentian that day. That's why I misunderstood when I saw you chasing after Orfon. " Mo Qingcheng's watery eyes stared at Qin Wentian with a hint of grievance in them. This kind of gaze was enough to melt the hearts of those who saw it.
At this moment, Nolan, who was standing at the side, was completely dumbfounded. Heavens, when did the great beauty Mo Qingcheng have such a feminine side?
Nolan rubbed his eyes, thinking that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway." Qin Wentian bitterly smiled as he shook his head. He didn't even dare to look Mo Qingcheng in the eye. He couldn't stand the look in her eyes … He was originally an open-minded person, and wouldn't haggle over minor matters. That day, he and Fan Le were indeed too angry. But now that he thought about it, Mo Qingcheng's misunderstanding back then was only normal. Not only that, when Orchon threatened to kill them, Mo Qingcheng had also told them to leave.
However, the Mo Qingcheng now, compared to the Mo Qingcheng from that day, was too far apart. She gave off a surreal feeling.
Qin Wentian didn't believe that Mo Qingcheng had fallen in love with him at first sight, nor did he know why.
"That's good." Mo Qingcheng gently smiled.
"Are you also here to participate in the banquet hosted by the 3rd Prince?" Qin Wentian suddenly asked.
"Mhm, he did invite me, but I don't like too many people." Mo Qingcheng smiled. No matter where she went, there would always be too many eyes staring at her. And these people were indeed very bored.
"I want to ask you something. What sort of character is the Crown Prince of Snowcloud?" Qin Wentian suddenly thought of something as he asked. Mo Qingcheng's status was definitely extraordinary, maybe she would know something about him.
"The number of princes in the Snowcloud Country is even more numerous compared to the Chu Country. The Snowcloud Country's situation is stable, and the authority of the Emperor is even stronger than the Chu Country. Not only that, the Emperor of Snowcloud is in the prime of his life, but under such circumstances, the Snowcloud Country has already decided on the position of Crown Prince. From this, one can see how outstanding the Crown Prince of Snowcloud is, far surpassing the other princes. He's the same as Chu Tianjiao, extremely powerful."
Mo Qingcheng slowly spoke, her words causing Qin Wentian's countenance to stiffen. The more powerful a character was, the harder it was to guess their intentions. Would such a character really mobilize so many people for the sake of Qin Yao, disregarding their relationship with Chu and helping Qin Yao to save her? This caused him to feel even more uneasy.
"Oh yeah, there's one more thing I want to tell you." Mo Qingcheng stared at Qin Wentian, her countenance solemn.
"What's the matter?" Qin Wentian asked.
"I've heard some rumors that the Crown Prince of Snowcloud has a very high possibility of marrying a princess of Chu." Mo Qingcheng spoke in a low voice, causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble violently, as his countenance instantly turned incredibly unsightly to behold.
"Is this news reliable?"
"Mhm, there shouldn't be any mistakes." Mo Qingcheng nodded her head in reply.
"Thank you." Qin Wentian's heart was suddenly filled with an intense worry. Since the Crown Prince of Snowcloud had a marriage alliance with a princess of Chu, why would he go to such lengths to offend the Chu Country for the sake of Qin Yao?
Not only that, the news of Qin Yao coming to Chu, how big of a commotion would there be in the Snowcloud Country? Maybe, not many people knew about this.
Qin Yao was only a candidate for the Crown Prince's wife in name. She didn't have any major powers supporting her in Snowcloud Country, and not many people even knew of her existence.
In other words, there was a very high possibility that Qin Yao was being used by someone else.
Mo Qingcheng sighed in her heart as she saw the expression on Qin Wentian's face. She also knew that the reason why Qin Yao was sent to Chu wasn't to save Qin Wu and Qin Chuan.
Initially, she didn't want to tell Qin Wentian about this, because she felt that the current Qin Wentian wouldn't be able to change anything. It would be better for him to stay in the Emperor Star Academy and cultivate peacefully.
However, this time around, she met Qin Wentian here, and coincidentally, Qin Wentian also had his own suspicions. Mo Qingcheng nodded her head, but it was enough for Qin Wentian to understand.
"Oi, are you guys treating me like air? When are you guys going to finish chatting?" Nolan, who was at the side, had her hands on her hips. Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer as she glared at Qin Wentian. She didn't know what kind of luck this fellow had, to be able to interact with Mo Qingcheng alone.
"Mhm, I'll take my leave first." Qin Wentian nodded his head, causing Nolan's beautiful eyes to freeze as she blinked. To think that it was actually Qin Wentian who took the initiative to say that he wanted to leave. This was truly … causing her to be speechless.
"You better return to the Emperor Star Academy first." Mo Qingcheng spoke to Qin Wentian. She was worried that he would be dragged into this mess. He couldn't care less about Qin Yao's matters.
Qin Wentian didn't say anything, he merely nodded his head to Mo Qingcheng before departing. His brows were tightly furrowed, evidently worried for Qin Yao.
After the conversation with Mo Qingcheng, his heart grew heavy. Qin Yao was one of the most important people in his life, how could he not be worried?
"There's one more thing." Mo Qingcheng, who was standing behind him, spoke again. Qin Wentian turned his head, only to hear Mo Qingcheng saying, "That Liu Yan, you don't owe her anything."
"Mhm?" Qin Wentian felt somewhat puzzled, but because he was still worried, he casually nodded his head and didn't ask any more questions.
"Is this fellow an idiot?" Nolan walked to the side of Mo Qingcheng, staring at the back view of Qin Wentian in a daze. There were very few people who could remain so calm in front of Mo Qingcheng.
"Why didn't you speak more clearly? He didn't even know what you meant. You should have told him that you carried him on your back that day." Nolan smiled mischievously, causing Mo Qingcheng to roll her eyes.
Qin Wentian strolled about the hunting grounds, his heart heavy. The news of the marriage between the Crown Prince of Snowcloud and the Princess of Chu was still lingering in his mind.
"I'm afraid that I can only bring Sister Yao away now." Qin Wentian silently mused. No wonder earlier when he was chatting with Qin Yao, there were people who came to investigate. Maybe it wasn't because they wanted to protect him, but rather, it was a form of surveillance.
At this moment, the earth trembled. Qin Wentian abruptly stood up, only to see that in the distance, a group of warhorses were galloping madly, sweeping through the Dark Forest. These were none other than the silhouettes from the banquet, and it seemed as though they were on their way to hunt.
Qin Wentian had been strolling about the Dark Forest for quite some time. Most probably, the banquet had already ended, and the descendants of the aristocratic clans had already entered the Dark Forest to hunt.
Reaching into his robes, Qin Wentian retrieved the Kirin Mask and wore it on his face. After which, his silhouette dashed in the direction of the sound of hooves, akin to a gust of wind.
"They've dispersed." As Qin Wentian ran, he discovered that the group of people had already dispersed into the depths of the Dark Forest. From time to time, there would be some low-level demonic beasts roaming about, but they were all easily killed.
"Sister Yao's group is over there." Qin Wentian's gaze was fixed on Qin Yao's group, and he followed closely behind them. However, he had always been moving in the shadows. The terrain of the Dark Forest was the best cover for him.
"Yanaro?" At this moment, Qin Wentian discovered that Yanaro wasn't riding his horse. Instead, he was following closely behind Qin Yao's group. This caused Qin Wentian's countenance to stiffen. What did Yanaro mean by this?
Qin Wentian's senses had always been sharp. He discovered Yanaro's presence, but Yanaro didn't seem to notice him. He was like a hunter, following closely behind Qin Yao's group.
"There are people in the surroundings as well." Qin Wentian suddenly felt that he was being stared at. From all directions, silhouettes could be seen moving in his direction, surrounding him.
"What do they mean by this? If they wanted to act against Sister Yao, why would they use such a method instead of directly attacking her?" Qin Wentian knew that if the people from Snowcloud had colluded with the Chu Country, they would have too many methods to deal with Qin Yao. Why would they need to go through so much trouble?
At this moment, Qin Wentian's mind was completely tensed up. He shifted his body to the side, only to discover that there were two people following him. Evidently, he had been discovered.
