The line for the golden invitations was much shorter than the line for the blue and purple invitations.
Jun Wu Xie looked around and saw that there were only a dozen people in front of him and Su Lan.
While they were waiting in line to submit their invitations, a middle-aged man in a python robe walked out of the gate. Two sharp-eyed old men followed behind him.
"That's the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Drifting Cloud King, the elder brother of the current Emperor."
Su Lan said to Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie looked at the Drifting Cloud King standing on the steps in front of the gate. He looked straight ahead as if he was waiting for someone.
Soon, the Drifting Cloud King's eyes lit up.
Almost at the same time, Jun Wu Xie felt a pair of cold eyes staring at her from behind. A chill came over her, like the tip of a knife, causing the hairs on her body to stand on end.
He turned around abruptly and his pupils constricted.
Chu Zhongtian!
He did not expect to meet this guy at the gate. Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road.
His and Chu Zhongtian's gazes met, and it was as if neither of them was willing to give an inch. Both of them could see the intense killing intent in each other's eyes.
Today, the Third Prince did not accompany Chu Zhongtian, but the Murong family's Crown Prince, Murong Qi, followed beside him like a pug.
Besides Murong Qi, there was an old man in the uniform of the Great Chu Dynasty beside Chu Zhongtian. His face was dignified and his eyes were sharp. When he walked, he looked like a hawk looking at wolves.
"Hahaha, welcome the Crown Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty's General."
The Drifting Cloud King smiled and walked down the steps to personally welcome Chu Zhongtian and the others.
At the same time, the old man beside him turned around and shouted into the mansion, "The Crown Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty's General have arrived!"
At this moment, Chu Zhongtian looked away from Jun Wu Xie and walked quickly to the Drifting Cloud King. He smiled faintly and said, "It's an honor for the Drifting Cloud King to personally welcome me."
"Crown Prince Chu, you're too serious. You're the number one genius of the Great Chu Dynasty, ranked tenth on the Southern Region's Billboard List. You'll be a powerful figure in the future."
The Drifting Cloud King held Chu Zhongtian in high esteem.
At this moment, there was a slight commotion in the teams with blue and purple invitations. Everyone looked at the entrance.
Jun Wu Xie also looked up and couldn't help but be stunned.
A woman in a silver-white floral dress walked out leisurely, accompanied by two maids.
Ji Inran came out.
She was the main character today. What was she doing at the door instead of staying inside?
Just as he was wondering, he saw Ji Inran walking towards Chu Zhongtian and the others.
"Yinlan, we haven't seen each other for half a year since we parted in Lin City. How have you been?"
Chu Zhongtian did not even care about the Flowing Cloud King as he quickly walked over.
There was a trace of intoxication in his eyes, and his body was trembling slightly.
Jun Wu Xie frowned, his gaze lingering on Ji Inran and Chu Zhongtian.
He really did not expect that Ji Inran would personally come out to welcome Chu Zhongtian!
After Chu Zhongtian saw Ji Inran, there seemed to be nothing else in his eyes.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Chu. I'm fine." Ji Inran's expression did not change. She just nodded at Chu Zhongtian and said, "Brother Chu, please come in."
"Hahaha, Prince Chu, Yinlan came out to welcome you personally. It can be seen that you are very important in her heart." The Drifting Cloud King walked in with them.
Jun Wu Xie was a little unhappy. After all, Chu Zhongtian was his sworn enemy.
But he thought about it. Ji Inran and Chu Zhongtian were old friends. In addition, there was a relationship between the two countries. It was not strange for her to come out to welcome him.
Although he understood this, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Young Master, do you like her?"
Su Gang saw that his expression was not right, so she said this using Secret Voice-sending.
Jun Wu Xie was startled. Did he like Ji Inran?
He probably did not like her.
He thought about it and said, "She's a very good friend. I have a good impression of her, but I don't like her."
As he spoke, it was their turn in the line. After handing in the invitation, he and Su Gang entered the mansion side by side.
The mansion was very spacious. Along the way, under the guidance of the maids, they passed through several courtyards and long corridors. After passing through two gardens, they arrived in front of a huge man-made lake.
A huge floating platform was built in the middle of the lake. At the end of the floating platform was an exquisite pavilion. There were many pavilions connected by water corridors around the floating platform. They were all built around the floating platform.
Jun Wu Xie saw that there were singers in the pavilions around. They were playing musical instruments, and the elegant melody echoed above the lake. It was very pleasing to the ear.
In front of the pavilion on the floating platform, there was a high platform with a nine-step staircase.
There were three exquisite and luxurious chairs on the platform. A middle-aged man in his forties sat on the chair in the middle. He had a dignified and valiant face. He wore a dragon robe and a crown on his head. His deep eyes were sharp and shrewd.
On the chair on the left was a dignified and noble woman. She wore a golden dragon and phoenix embroidered robe and a red silk dress. She wore a phoenix pearl crown on her head. It was obvious that she was the current Empress.
The woman on the right was wearing a silver palace robe. Who else could it be but Ji Inran?
On both sides of the high platform, there were two rows of tables and chairs. There were all sorts of exquisite desserts, fruits, and a few exquisite dishes. There was also a jug of fine wine.
Those who held the golden invitation cards were arranged to sit at the front of the two rows of seats.
At this moment, the front tables and chairs were almost full. There were not many seats left.
The moment Jun Wu Xie stepped onto the floating platform, many pairs of eyes immediately turned to look at her.
He could sense that some of these gazes were filled with curiosity, some with disdain, some with hostility, and so on and so forth.
"Isn't this the young genius Jun Wu Xie who killed an elite disciple of the Daiga Ken Sect with three swords a few days ago?" A senior member of the Bu Family warmly greeted him. He looked at the seats on the floating platform and frowned, "Why are the purple invitation seats all full? Only the blue invitation seats are left?"
He smiled and pointed at the empty seats at the back, "Young hero Jun, you can sit at the last few seats. You don't have to be so reserved."
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Bu." He nodded to the senior member of the Bu Family. He and Su Lan went to the seats corresponding to the golden invitation and sat down. Under many surprised gazes, he said to the senior member of the Bu Family who had a stiff smile on his face, "I don't need you to worry about me."
The senior member of the Bu Family's face twitched. Bu Yun Fei, who was beside him, had a gloomy face.
His Bu Family could only sit in the middle seats. Jun Wu Xie was arranged to sit in the upper seats?
Who were the people sitting in the upper seats?
They were the First Rank Officials of the Imperial Court, the Princes, the Three Great Firms, and the Hunter's Guild.
For a moment, many people's faces did not look good, especially those who were sitting in the middle seats.
Although Jun Wu Xie was famous and had great potential, he was backed by the desolate Sōgō Gakuin School. Without any background, how could he enjoy such high treatment?
