"Remember what you promised me!"

Xiao Qing's pretty face was flushed with a rosy hue. After taking a deep look at Su Jue, she swiftly disappeared.

"Damn..."

Su Jue had just reacted when Xiao Qing vanished from sight.

Miscalculation, a real miscalculation!

I, a dignified man of seven feet, who always forced others, was actually forced by someone else!

Feeling dejected, Su Jue walked out of the alley, looking at the bustling street filled with people and vehicles. The lively scene contrasted sharply with his deadened heart.

After leaving with Su Jue, Xiao Qing's figure appeared outside the alley. She watched Su Jue's gradually receding back.

Biting her red lips lightly, the rosy hue on her pretty face suddenly changed, revealing a different face!

Under the moonlight, this face was exquisitely beautiful, stunning beyond compare.

.........

Su Jue left the alley and wandered aimlessly.

Half an hour passed quickly, and seeing that the banquet was about to start, he returned to the luxurious tavern.

Entering the hall, he found that the previously noisy environment had quieted down, and everyone was seated.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

Clearly, the banquet was about to begin, and the Eldest Princess was about to make her appearance.

Noticing the change keenly, Su Jue became curious. Who exactly was this Eldest Princess to make these self-important prodigies behave so obediently?

With questions in mind, Su Jue walked into the Sword Sect's private room on the second floor, where disciples from various sects had also appeared in the previously empty rooms.

Among them, Su Jue paid attention to the private room of the Repair Heaven Pavilion.

Inside, two female cultivators could be vaguely seen, but their specific appearances were obscured by beaded curtains.

Su Jue was particularly attentive to this Fairy Yuechan.

"Junior Brother, I thought you forgot the time."

An Ke breathed a sigh of relief seeing Su Jue enter the private room on time.

There was less than a minute left before the banquet started, and she thought Su Jue might not make it.

"Never, Senior Sister, I'm a master of time management."

Su Jue sat beside her and smiled.

Soon, the banquet began.

A woman appeared on the round table on the second floor.

She was dressed in a light red gown that trailed on the ground, with a snow-white gauzy shawl draped over her shoulders. Her shoulders were delicate, her waist slender, her skin like congealed fat, and her breath like orchids.

She moved gracefully, revealing her fair wrists through the light gauze.

Her eyes were like clear spring water, her hair styled in a slanted bun with a hollow gold hairpin adorned with tiny amethysts, and tassels cascading over her black hair.

Her phoenix eyes were captivating, capable of enchanting souls, her lips like cherry blossoms, evoking endless imagination.

Her fragrant beauty was more charming than flowers, her fingers like scallion roots, her mouth like a red pearl, every smile and frown captivating.

The Eldest Princess, Li Changle!

"Good evening, everyone."

Li Changle's voice was as melodious as a gentle spring, soothing to the heart.

As her words fell, the audience erupted in applause.

"Good evening, Eldest Princess!"

"The Eldest Princess has become even more beautiful!"

"Princess Changle is as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal!"

Some disciples were visibly excited, their eyes burning with fervor.

Li Changle was a renowned beauty of the Zhenguan Dynasty. Some disciples came not for the Prodigy Tournament, but to witness her true beauty.

The more ambitious ones aimed for the poetry and painting session after the banquet.

If they could dine with the Eldest Princess and become the consort of the Zhenguan Dynasty, their lives would be worthwhile.

"Princess Changle is still so stunning."

Even the equally beautiful An Ke marveled. Though she was a woman, she was amazed by Li Changle's appearance after seeing her once.

With her gentle grace and radiant presence, her dignified imperial identity made countless men want to fall at her feet.

Su Jue remained expressionless, his attention on Xiao Qing behind the Eldest Princess.

As he looked at Xiao Qing, she also glanced at him.

Through the gap in the beaded curtain, as their eyes met for a moment, Xiao Qing's pretty face turned red, and she quickly looked away.

Tsk, you're even shy now.

Su Jue clicked his tongue, feeling quite disdainful inside.

Although he had the advantage, being forced still left him displeased.

An Ke's peripheral vision occasionally glanced at Su Jue beside her, noticing that he was entirely different from the fervent disciples below.

His clear eyes were always calm, his handsome face serene and composed.

It seemed as if the Eldest Princess had no attraction for him.

Not to mention anything else, it seemed her junior brother was truly not a lecher.

An Ke thought.

The Eldest Princess could make even her, a woman, feel amazed, let alone men.

But Su Jue not only showed no reaction, his expression remained as calm as ever.

Little did she know, it wasn't that Su Jue had no reaction to the Eldest Princess.

He just felt embarrassed thinking about being forced by Xiao Qing, leaving him in no mood to appreciate anything.

"You all have come from various sects, and it must have been hard."

"Changle sincerely thanks you all for honoring the banquet I've arranged."

Changle smiled slightly, full of grace and elegance.

"It's not hard, Princess Changle!"

"Seeing you is my honor!"

"Princess Changle, you've worked hard too!"

Below, the disciples responded fervently.

"This bunch of fanatics."

Su Jue's mouth twitched, these disciples reminded him of those star-chasing fans from his previous life.

If the sect masters behind them knew that the disciples they sent couldn't move upon seeing a woman, what would their expressions be?

It would probably be quite amusing.

"Sister, that's Su Jue."

At this moment, Xiao Qing, standing behind Li Changle, discreetly pointed to Su Jue's private room.

"Yes, I've noticed."

Li Changle had long noticed Su Jue in the private room. After all, as the first man to see through her plan, she was quite interested.

She openly looked at Su Jue, observing his white robe as pure as snow, his handsome face, and his clear eyes, and couldn't help but feel a hint of goodwill.

Su Jue noticed Li Changle watching him, he looked up and smiled slightly, his smile full of confidence and calm.

In response, Li Changle smiled back, alluringly, as a form of greeting.

At the same time, she thought to herself, this Su Jue is no ordinary person.

Su Jue wasn't curious at all about why Li Changle noticed him.

Even without thinking, he knew it was Xiao Qing who told Li Changle about the incident.

"Junior Brother, do you know the Eldest Princess?"

An Ke, in the same private room, noticed the two exchanging smiles and asked curiously.

"No, I don't."

Su Jue replied truthfully.

"Then why did the Eldest Princess smile at you?"

An Ke tilted her little head, asking like a curious child.

Su Jue shook his head, speaking seriously, "I don't know, maybe I'm the most handsome man here?"

"......"

An Ke's mouth twitched, this junior brother was truly narcissistic.

Maybe it was just a coincidence?

Soon, after Li Changle exchanged a few more pleasantries, the banquet began.

Numerous beautiful maidservants swayed their slender waists, carrying fine wine, filling the cups of all the disciples present.

"Please first taste the unique fine wine of our Chaoge City. After drinking, we will begin the second part of the banquet."

"Poetry Composition and Painting!"

Li Changle smiled charmingly.

As her words fell, the scene immediately erupted.

Many disciples came here just to wait for this moment.

They had long prepared what they believed to be excellent poetry, hoping to gain the opportunity to dine with Li Changle!
