"This isn't a person, right?" Murong Shuyu was indescribably surprised, but she suddenly discovered that the human shaped shadow in front of the moon seemed to be flying towards her direction.
Murong Shuyu didn't have time to think too much, she saw that shadow was infinitely enlarging, and in just a short few breaths of time, it had already arrived in front of her window.
Suddenly startled, Murong Shuyu repeatedly retreated a few steps, almost tripping over the chair behind her. She calmed down from the fright, and only then did she see clearly that the person floating in front of the window was unexpectedly a white bearded old man.
"Who are you?" Seeing this old man's strange skill, Murong Shuyu didn't dare to act rashly.
The old man didn't speak, just looked at her with a complicated expression, sometimes reminiscing and sometimes sad. Murong Shuyu was slightly startled, and after seeing the expression of the old man, the fear in her heart began to dissipate, and unexpectedly she involuntarily felt a sense of familiarity.
Since Murong Shuyu could be entrusted with an important task by the Proud Moon Emperor to destroy the alliance between Nalan Empire and Violent Dragon Empire, she was naturally an intelligent and quick-witted person. Her thoughts churned a few times in her mind, and with a flash of lightning, a bold guess appeared in her mind. Thinking of this possibility, her hands and feet couldn't help but tremble.
"Grandpa … grandpa, is that you?" Murong Shuyu called out in a trembling voice, and her eyes were filled with expectation.
The complicated expression in the old man's eyes began to fade, and he softly sighed. His figure flashed into Murong Shuyu's room, and he didn't answer Murong Shuyu, rather asked: "Do you know Jun Qinglian?"
Murong Shuyu hurriedly nodded her head, and replied: "Of course I know, that is the name of my mother."
"Have you seen her?" The old man stared at Murong Shuyu.
Murong Shuyu shook her head, and replied: "I haven't seen her, father said that grandma passed away when he was very young. So … "
The old man turned around and looked outside the window, and his tall and straight body suddenly became somewhat stooped. Murong Shuyu bit her lower lip, and just when she wanted to say something, she felt a light breeze. She couldn't move, and she didn't know when the old man had already turned around. His right hand tightly clasped her white wrist, and a wisp of bizarre aura was rampaging inside her body.
After a long while, the old man let go of Murong Shuyu. Although he was certain that she was his granddaughter the moment he saw her, because her appearance was simply a replica of his wife, even her temperament was somewhat similar. However, he had used the unique presence of the Murong Clan to verify that this girl had an incredibly close blood relationship with him. There was no doubt that she was his biological granddaughter.

Logically speaking. In any case, Emperor Long Zhan should have met the envoys of the two empires, but what was strange was, Long Zhan unexpectedly handed over all matters to Crown Prince Long Ying. He claimed that he wasn't feeling well and didn't even attend morning court.
Because of this, Longyi and Ximen Huo were deeply puzzled. They knew that with Long Zhan's temperament, he would definitely not act like this. However, he was also diligent in governing the country. For decades, he had never been absent from the morning court session. Could it be that he wanted Ximen clan to relax their vigilance?
Longyi and Ximen Huo secretly chatted for an entire night in the study. Finally, they decided to deal with soldiers with arms and water with an earth weir. Now, it was still not the time to take action. They had to wait for the war of Blue Waves Continent to erupt. At that time, they could fight for a third of the world.
As the morning sun rose, Longyi struggled free from the entanglement of Leng Youyou's pink arms and sat up. He lowered his head and looked at Leng Youyou who was sleeping soundly. The corner of her mouth was slightly raised, and a trace of a sweet smile that could shake one's soul hung on her face. Perhaps, only by his side, Leng Youyou could sleep so soundly. All her vigilance was thrown to the horizon. What place could make her feel more at ease than the bosom of her sweetheart?
Longyi looked at Leng Youyou in a daze. This girl had given him too much. Without her, perhaps his days wouldn't be so wonderful.
Recalling that today was the day of negotiation with Nalan Empire and Proud Moon Empire, Longyi came back to his senses. He lowered his head and kissed Leng Youyou's lips. After that, he got out of bed, wore his clothes and walked out.
The negotiation was held in the Crown Prince's Mansion. Longyi had full authority to represent the Dragon Empire, and Crown Prince Long Ying was supervising.
When Longyi arrived at the Crown Prince's Mansion, Long Ying was eagerly circling around Nalan Ruyue. Coupled with his gentle smile and gentlemanly etiquette, he believed that many young ladies would fall for him. Sometimes, Longyi had no choice but to admire Long Ying's method of dealing with women. But the method of leaving Murong Shuyu in the cold was a big loophole for Longyi. No matter how unwilling he was, he should at least put on a good show, right?
Nalan Ruyue pushed away the fruit that Long Ying had personally peeled for her, then standing up, she greeted Longyi who had just entered. Her eyes had an expression as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. Seeing this, Longyi inwardly laughed and also felt slightly proud of himself. No matter how brilliant your Long Ying's methods were, you were still defeated by me, Longyi.
"Hello everyone, eh, why is the Crown Prince looking at me like that? Could it be that I came at the wrong time?" Seeing the Crown Prince was glaring at him with an unkind expression, Longyi said with a smile.
Young Master Ximen has come at the right time, the negotiation should begin. " Murong Shuyu answered. She was looking at Longyi with a somewhat strange expression, as if she was hiding something.
Longyi naturally saw the strange expression of Murong Shuyu and guessed that it should be because she had seen Murong Bo.
Seeing Longyi and Murong Shuyu exchanging affectionate glances with each other, Nalan Ruyue didn't know why a sour feeling appeared in her heart. She wanted to use Violent Light Magic to blow up the eyes of these two people.
While Long Yi was guessing, he suddenly felt somewhat cold on his back. Turning his head, he happened to see Nalan Ruyue's ferocious gaze. He raised his eyebrows in confusion, but Nalan Ruyue coldly snorted in return.
"Women, unreasonable animals." Longyi muttered while shaking his head, but he didn't know that seeing Nalan Ruyue attacking Longyi with her gaze, Long Ying was almost going crazy with jealousy in his heart.
If other people saw Nalan Ruyue ferociously glaring at Longyi, perhaps they would think that she hated Longyi. But Long Ying was also an expert in picking up girls, and he had quite a bit of research regarding the psychology of women. He knew that Nalan Ruyue's reserved and distant smile towards him represented distance. And just a moment ago, she was glaring at Longyi with a bit of sour taste, however, it showed that her feelings towards Longyi were not ordinary, which naturally made him extremely unhappy.
In any case, Nalan Empire was going to form an alliance with Dragon Empire, and Long Ying's idea was naturally to pick up Nalan Ruyue. Making Nalan Ruyue marry him, then it would be even more beneficial to the consolidation of his imperial power. Moreover, Nalan Ruyue was one of the three saintesses of the Church of Light, so this would allow him to have a little relationship with the Church of Light, and for him, there was only benefit and no harm. Moreover, putting all these aside, Nalan Ruyue's beauty really made him drool. He had played with so many women, but none of them could surpass Nalan Ruyue in temperament and beauty.
Long Ying led the officials of both empires to a luxurious and spacious conference room. The officials of Nalan Empire and Ao Yue Empire sat on both sides, and the ones sitting on the chair were Longyi and his two assistants. These two assistants were the officials of Ximen Clan. Originally, Crown Prince Long Ying should have sat on the chair, but the negotiation power was completely given to Longyi, and he was only a supervisor, so he could only abdicate his position.
Longyi crossed one leg over the other, threw a stack of documents thrown to him by his assistant behind him, and said with a smile: "I don't need this." He stood up, and with both of his hands on the negotiating table, his body leaned forward, and the smile on the corner of his mouth had a somewhat gloomy feeling, giving people a formidable invisible oppression.
"I think everyone is a sensible person, and a sensible person should speak plainly. In order to save time, I will speak frankly." Long Yi paused for a bit, then continued: "I know the purpose of your two empires sending envoys, you know, and he also knows, so I have decided to sign the alliance agreement with Nalan Empire today. As for Proud Moon Empire, I am sorry."
Once Longyi's words came out, everyone was stunned. Was this still a negotiation? How could there be such a straightforward sentence to settle everything?
"In the end, does this brat know how to negotiate or not?" Long Ying who was sitting on one side was also extremely surprised, but he still kept his cool and didn't speak. He wanted to see how Longyi would deal with this matter.
Long Ying was able to keep his cool, but the officials of Proud Moon Empire couldn't keep their cool. A Proud Moon Empire official with a mountain ghost beard angrily stood up and said: "I protest, I strongly request Dragon Empire to replace the negotiator, you basically don't know how to negotiate."
"Unfortunately, your protest is invalid. If you continue to make noise, I don't mind driving your Proud Moon Empire's diplomatic mission out." Longyi mischievously laughed, that gloomy imposing manner made people not doubt his words.
What was strange was, Murong Shuyu unexpectedly didn't say a word, she just indifferently said: "I agree with Proud Moon Empire's withdrawal from the negotiation, but perhaps you can allow us to listen to the negotiation between your esteemed empire and Nalan Empire."
Longyi muttered to himself as he looked at Murong Shuyu. This woman's reaction was beyond his expectation. This kind of feeling of being out of control made people feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't show it, he just shrugged his shoulders and said: "Of course."
This time, it was Long Ying's turn to be surprised. This diplomatic mission sent by Proud Moon Empire was too easy to deal with, or did this woman and Longyi reach some kind of agreement?
Longyi beckoned his left hand, and the quick-witted assistant immediately handed over a stack of the same contract to Longyi's hand. The contract in Longyi's hand swayed, then with a light flick of his finger, this stack of contract lightly flew up and scattered, landing in front of all the officials of Nalan Empire.
Nalan Ruyue picked up the contract and looked at it, a shy expression flashed on her face. She raised her sparkling eyes and secretly glanced at Longyi, then calmly said: "Regarding the contract, I don't have any problem."
The officials of Nalan Empire strangely looked at their princess, then again looked at Longyi and Crown Prince Long Ying, then one after another expressed that there was no problem.
