Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly at Lei Chen. Although there was no smile on her face, it was still considered polite.
Jun Xie's reply caused Lei Fan's hatred to rise to a boiling point. He fought hard to suppress the rage in his heart and his face was plastered with a brilliant smile.
If not for the unexpected incident with Qu Ling Yue, Jun Xie would have already become his right hand man by now, and Lei Chen would not have been able to be on such good terms with Jun Xie!
His heart wished for nothing more than to kick Lei Chen away from him, but he still had to maintain a smile on his face. Lei Fan was feeling so aggrieved he was about to puke.
Finally, after a few moments of waiting, the Fire Country's Emperor finally arrived belatedly. Dressed in a bright yellow robe embroidered with a five clawed golden dragon, he appeared before everyone's eyes, sitting calmly upon the throne.
This year's Spirit Battle Tournament was truly spectacular. Although I was not fortunate enough to witness all of you young talents compete, but I have heard much about it in the Imperial Palace. I have invited all of you here today, to wish all of you success and recognition in the future, and to carve out a place for yourselves! "The Emperor said with a smile, raising up his wine cup.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ten youths all stood up and drained their cups of wine.
"Take a seat. Make yourself at home." The Emperor said with a laugh. His eyes subconsciously swept in the direction of the six disciples from the Zephyr Academy, and as his eyes scanned them one by one, his heart skipped a beat.
Although he had seen the portraits of Jun Xie and the others before and knew that among the six of them, five of them possessed unparalleled good looks, but looking at them today, he felt that the faces in the portraits were not even one ten thousandth of their true selves.
Moreover, the six of them had extraordinary temperaments. With one look, one could tell that they would not be ordinary people in the future!
When he thought of the fact that these six young and promising youths had been won over by Lei Chen, the Emperor felt his heart wobble. If the person who had befriended them had been Lei Fan instead, he would really have been overjoyed.
Fei Yan had just taken his seat when he suddenly leaned his body slightly to come over to Jun Xie's side.
"Sitting beside Lei Chen, is that the Fourth Prince, Lei Fan?"
Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly. Lei Fan had come to look for her twice and had avoided Fei Yan and the others.
"That's strange." Fei Yan's lips curled into a thought-provoking smile.
"What is it?" Jun Wu Xie asked in a low voice.
"Didn't I look into the Fire Country previously? I just happened to find a portrait of the lady whom the Yan Country's Emperor had once doted on. I have seen her before, and her looks are really not too bad. According to what Lei Chen had said before, this Lei Fan should not be the daughter of that lady, but ….. this Lei Fan's looks are highly similar to the lady in the portrait. "Fei Yan said, finding the situation to be rather interesting.
An illegitimate child of the Empress and a minister actually looked like the person the Emperor loved. What was going on?
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes. When she had first met Lei Fan, she had not paid much attention to Lei Fan's looks.
"No wonder the Emperor dotes on the Fourth Prince so much. Just that face alone was enough to remind him of his beloved. Isn't that why he dotes on Lei Fan in every possible way?" Fei Yan said, laughing in his heart.
"The Art of Disguise." Jun Wu Xie whispered.
"Can it be cracked?" Fei Yan asked excitedly.
"We need to know what method he used." Jun Wu Xie did not hastily confirm it. There were many ways to disguise one's looks in the world and to uncover it, she would need to know what method the other party used.
Lei Fan seemed to have noticed Jun Wu Xie's gaze on him and he was rather surprised. His face then lit up with a smile and he took the opportunity to lift up his wine cup and said in Jun Wu Xie's direction: "For Jun Xie to be looking at me like that, it really makes me feel a little embarrassed. It's such a rare opportunity for us to have a toast together and I would like to ask Jun Xie to do me the honour."
