Rise Of Evil Sword God - Chapter 658: Meeting Zhou Mingyue again
All congrats to the seventh prince for his promotion. The royal siblings also expressed their congratulations. The seventh prince was feeling very high at the moment as he listened to the praises of everyone.
The banquet continued for hours. Feng Yun acted like a passerby the entire time, as he didn’t interact with others except Yang Jian and Yao Shi.
Almost all students were busy in buttering up the royal siblings. Yao Shi and Yang Jian acted as guide and told Feng Yun about the power structure of the empire and academy. The current emperor of the Black Tortoise Empire has nine children, five sons and four daughters. Of the nine only five were currently students of the academy and four have already graduated.
Although the entire academy was filled with top geniuses of the empire, there were a few exceptional individuals who could be called heaven’s child.
While they were talking, an unexpected guest arrived in the banquet, making quite a ruckus.
“It’s them!”
“Wow, they are beautiful.”
Everyone looked at the two girls who had just arrived. Both girls were gorgeous and kingdom toppling beauties in their twenties. One of them had golden hair, an indifferent expression on her face. She was surrounded by a chilly aura, giving a detached feeling.
While the other one had a beautiful smile on her face. She had long black hair, and a lean figure.
“Its ninth princess.”
“Zhou Mingyue!” Feng Yun couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw the two girls. His eyes glued on the golden haired. The golden-haired girl was none other than Zhou Mingyue.
Feng Yun met her first time during the beast raid. After that, he met her again during the grand competition of the Long Imperial Dynasty. They spent some time together in the ancient battlefield as they went through hard life and death trials together, brought them closer. Before parting, they even made love.
“Oh, Zhou Mingyue also came, it was unexpected.” Yao Shi looked at the golden-haired beauty and muttered slowly.
“That girl with her is the youngest princess of the Black Tortoise Empire. She has a carefree personality and is also a very talented cultivator. She is twenty-five years old and has reached the Late Stage of Heaven Profound Realm. Zhou Mingyue regards her as her close friend.” Yao Shi continued speaking about the ninth princess, giving Feng Yun full details.
Feng Yun nodded lightly. He glanced at the ninth princess who was walking beside Zhou Mingue for a moment before shifting his gaze to Zhou Mingyue. She has matured a lot in a couple of years, he could feel it from her sharp aura. She always had a cold and aloof personality, even now she had a deadpan look on her face, showing no interest in people around her. While the ninth princess had a small smile on her face as she returned greetings of others. After all, she was royalty nonetheless, they had to give her their respect.
Even though the Martial Academy banned this kind of discrimination in the academy, in the academy only personal strength and talent matters. But it was only valid in the academy, outside the academy, you had to adapt to the dark reality of the world. Nobody wants to offend the strongest clan of the empire.
“Mingyue, let’s catch some delicious food and booze, then sneak out.” The Ninth Princess giggled softly. Zhou Mingyue sighed slowly in respond.
“Yanyu, if you want to eat then let’s go to the canteen or restaurant, why trouble coming here.” Zhou Mingyue said with an annoyed expression.
“Come on, I want to taste something different.” The ninth princess said as she dragged Zhou Mingyue toward the food stall.
Zhou Mingyue let out an annoying grunt and followed her friend. Suddenly, Zhou Mingyue step paused, her expression changed slightly.
‘It’s his aura. Is he here? how?’ She murmured inwardly as she curiously looked around with a strange expression.
She sensed a familiar aura in the crowd, which was strange because he shouldn’t be here.
The ninth princess noticed an abnormality in her friend and couldn’t help but ask out, “Hey Mingyue, what happened? Why did you stop?”
However, Zhou Mingyue neglected her friend, she spread out his divine sense and looked for the source. Soon she found it.
“He is really here.” Zhou Mingyue looked in a certain direction and muttered with an excited face.
“Hmm, who is here? Mingyue, you are confusing me. Hurry up, tell me what happened?” The Ninth Princess was getting impatient.
“Come with me.” Zhou Mingyue smiled mysteriously and said before she started walking. The Ninth Princess followed Zhou Mingyue with a confused look. ‘What is gotten in her today?’ She thought inwardly.
Eight Prince noticed Zhou Mingyue and his younger sister, he was about to walk to them but seeing they were coming toward him, he halted his steps. A smile formed on his face after seeing Zhou Mingyue. He has taken fancy of Zhou Mingyue’s beauty, he even proposed to her to become his third wife, but she bluntly refused.
“Zhou Mingyue, I didn’t expect you would come…hmm.” As she came close, the eighth-prince stepped forward with a big smile on his face to greet her.
“Congrats!” However, Zhou Mingyue just said one word before passing by him. Zhou Mingyue loathed on this kind of men; who thinks women are only playthings of men. He didn’t even try to court her properly, rather wanted to rely on his background.
“Haha, Mingyue, you are cold to him.” The ninth princess chuckled softly and spoke.
“He is a cocky person who thinks he can get everything.” Zhou Mingyue snorted. .
“Haha, he is indeed a little arrogant, but he has credibility to became arrogant, now he has become sovereign, I am sure his arrogance will advance as well.”
She walked towards a group of three who were enjoying the wine in a corner. Naturally, it was Feng Yun’s group.
“Feng Yun!” Zhou Mingyue arrived in front of Feng Yun and called out with a sweet smile.
“Hello Mingyue.” Feng Yun stepped forward and greeted her with a warm smile. “You are looking beautiful today.”
“Thanks! How come you are here?” Zhou Mingyue asked with a curious face.
“Yao Shi brought me here. Anyway, I just arrived at the empire, so I give a visit to my old friends.” Feng Yun said.
“So, you are infamous Feng Yun. You are handsome.” Suddenly, a playful voice sounded as the ninth princess came forward and stared at Feng Yun while evaluating him head to toe. Feng Yun turned to look at the black-haired beauty; he was already aware of her identity.
“Good evening, Ninth Princess. It’s my honor to meet you. I hope you are doing well today.” Feng Yun replied with a small smile.
“Hehe, aren’t a good gentleman?” The Ninth Princess chuckled slowly, “Mingyue has told me many stories of yours.”
‘Who is he?’
“I have never seen him before, is he a guest?”
The people started whispering. Until now, Feng Yun’s presence was almost non-existent, nobody was paying attention to him. However, Zhou Mingyue and the Ninth Princess brought a lot of attention. Feng Yun didn’t care about it. He was happy to meet Zhou Mingyue.
