Princess You Yan's Banquet (1)

A girl was sleeping on her bed, so peaceful and quiet that one would be unable to hear the sound of breathing in the room. In fact, it was so quiet that the girl seemed more like a preserved corpse than a living being.

Opening her eyes, Zhu Xiao Wan sat up on her bed and put her feet on the floor. She said, "Come in."

The door opened, three servant girls came in. One was holding a bowl of clean water, the second one had a soft piece of cloth in her hands, the last hold a cup of cleansing liquid.

Zhu Xiao Wan cleansed her mouth, washed her face and used the soft cloth to gently dry it. The servant girls then left and closed the door. She went to the chair that was in front of a window, she pushed the window opened. Zhu Xiao Wan sat down and the Lianzhou book appeared in front of her. Using the light from outside, she read the last few pages.

The book Lianzhou is about Lianzhou, the cursed scythe. From the book, she learned Lianzhou was a weapon that connected to her soul. A divine-class weapon of the dark elements. This kind of weapons that made from dark elements or light elements would appear only for one in hundreds of thousands of years. Its power was much greater than a contractual spirit, she could even use it before her fourteenth birthday. However, there would be prices that she needed to pay if she used it. It didn't say what the prices were, but she was sure that it would not be something good. After she could cultivate, Lianzhou would drain her power as its price. The aura of Lianzhou could be used, too. There were no prices for that.

After Zhu Xiao Wan ate lunch, she heard a servant girl said, "Young Miss Xiao Wan, Young Master Xiao Qian is waiting for you outside the courtyard."

She let the servant girls dress her. When she came out of her room, she was wearing a light sky blue dress suitable for gathering events. Her silver hair was put up with a lucky cloud hairpin. She looked lively but elegant, too.

Zhu Xiao Wan saw Zhu Xiao Qian had on a light blue robe, it matched nicely with his slightly made up white hair. She said, "Big Brother, have I made you waited long?"

"Not at all," he smiled.

They walked to the main gate of Ning Wang Manor, Ning Su Cai and Ning Hai Heng was there. Ning Rou Li was also there, but she was not going and only said, "Don't stay at that princess manor for too long and come back early!"

The Ning brothers were well dressed, the elder one was in a grey robe while the young one was in an orange robe.

They got onto the carriage while Ning Su Cai rode a horse, they when to Princess You Yan Manor. On their way, they passed a street fight. A cultivators' street fight. This is the first time Zhu Xiao Wan felt spirit power, with the help of Lianzhou, she could tell what spirit they were at. One was a Third Stage Red Spirit, the other was a Fourth Stage Red Spirit.

Soon, they've reached Princess You Yan Manor.

Walking to the banquet hall, Zhu Xiao Wan could see that Princess You Yan liked to hold banquets. The decorations and styles are all outstanding for gathering events. There was a small battle stage here, too.

People from Right Prime Minister Han's Manor were here. Some glared and some snorted at them.

Ning Su Cai had a dark face because of them. Ning Hai Heng was like usual. Whilst the conflict was between the Ning and Han, they, the Zhu had nothing to do with it, at least not yet. Hence, Zhu Xiao Qian and Zhu Xiao Wan just smiled. Though their hair made them the center of attention at the banquet hall.
