The Arrival of the Arena of Rebirth
After a while, Fei Yu returned with the innkeeper, who repeatedly assured that no one had taken anything away last night.
However, the innkeeper couldn’t explain why Fei Yu’s gift suddenly disappeared.
Fei Yu looked at Jian Tong and asked, “Junior Brother, what do you think?”
Jian Tong pondered and replied, “The disappearance is too mysterious to be the work of ordinary people.”
Fei Yu nodded in agreement, “Perhaps it was the work of our archenemy, the Demon Clan.”
Taking the opportunity, Chu Jiuning spoke up, “Senior Brothers, you go and investigate. I will represent the First Immortal Sect and attend the wedding banquet in the palace. I will say that we will deliver the gift later.”
Given the circumstances, there was no other choice.
After bidding farewell to Fei Yu and Jian Tong, Chu Jiuning sat in front of the dressing mirror, whistling and wrapping herself up like a mummy with white gauze, leaving only her eyes exposed.
She smiled with satisfaction as she looked at herself in the mirror, then put on the nearby outer garment.
Once dressed, she took the wedding invitation and left the inn.
Upon arriving at the palace, she saw that all eight palace gates were wide open, with two people sitting in front of each gate, registering gifts and verifying invitations.
When it was Chu Jiuning’s turn, she handed over the invitation and said softly, “Due to the abundance of gifts, they will be delivered later.”
After the registration officer verified the authenticity of the invitation she handed over, he stood up and welcomed her, saying, “Please, Immortal Miss.”
Inside the palace, two palace maids approached her.
Since the wedding ceremony was yet to begin, they asked if she would like to be shown around. Chu Jiuning agreed with a smile.
During the tour, Chu Jiuning casually asked the palace maids, “I heard that the future princess of the royal prince is named Chu…?”
“Yes, Immortal Miss, our future princess is named Chu Jiuning.”
Ah, it seems she shares the same name.
“Yes, Chu Jiuning, what a beautiful name. By the way, how did your prince and she come to know each other?”
The two palace maids shook their heads, “Immortal Miss, we don’t know.”
“Have you ever seen her?” The two palace maids exchanged glances and shook their heads.
In the end, Chu Jiuning didn’t extract any valuable information, but she confirmed the name.
As the time approached, the two palace maids brought her back to the open-air square where the banquet was set.
As the Royal Clan revered the power of the sun, the ceremony was scheduled for noon.
Chu Jiuning saw that the tables on the square were already filled with guests, indicating that it was almost noon.
Afraid of seeing someone she shouldn’t, Chu Jiuning obediently refrained from looking around.
Her main purpose in coming today was to see who this “Chu Jiuning” that the royal prince was going to marry was and to see her fate as well. So, she shouldn’t look at things she shouldn’t.
If any big shots recognized her, she would be in trouble.
Just as she picked up the wine jug in front of her to pour herself a drink, a figure suddenly appeared at her table.
She froze, damn it! Was she recognized? Her heart pounded heavily.
Yue An, standing in front of the table, looked at her wine cup overflowing and maintained his pouring posture, his lips curling into a smile.
“Immortal Miss, what are you thinking about?” Immortal Miss? She wasn’t recognized?
Chu Jiuning raised her gaze and, ah, this handsome face belonged to… Yue Chi’s younger brother. He was the younger brother from the third world, right?
Little Snowman: Master, that’s right.
His name is Yue An, and he is now the new King of Sea.
Chu Jiuning gently put down the wine jug in her hand stood up, and saluted with clasped hands, “Xuanyuan Xue from the First Immortal Sect greets the King of Sea.”
Yue An’s lips curved into a shallow smile, and he nodded slightly in return, “I wanted to ask, Immortal Miss, why isn’t Jun Xu, the Sect Master, here today?”
Chu Jiuning returned the salute, “King of Sea, our Sect Master is occupied with official matters and couldn’t make it. He could only send me and the two Senior Brothers in his place.”
Yue An nodded, “Thank you for informing me, Immortal Miss.” With that, he was about to turn and leave.
Chu Jiuning bit her lip and stopped him, “I wonder what business the King of Sea has with the Sect Master? Xuanyuan Xue can relay your message back to my Master.”
Yue An turned back and looked at her calmly, “Thank you, Immortal Miss, but there’s no need. Tomorrow, I will personally visit Jun Xu, along with all of you, at the First Immortal Sect.”
What?! Why would Yue An go to the First Immortal Sect?
However, in order to avoid arousing Yue An’s suspicion, Chu Jiuning couldn’t inquire further.
She bowed slightly and sat back down. But the thought of Yue An accompanying them back to the First Immortal Sect tomorrow made her feel uneasy.
What if her two Senior Brothers accidentally revealed something and aroused Yue An’s suspicion?
She knew firsthand how formidable Yue An was in the third world.
He was extremely perceptive and had a keen eye for things. If it weren’t for her various tactics while Yue An was away, using her charm to win over his brother Yue Chi, Yue An would never have given her a chance to succeed.
Feeling frustrated, she drank several cups of wine and let out a long sigh.
Just as she was burdened with worries, a loud voice announced, “Please welcome the royal prince and the princess to enter.”
Chu Jiuning then noticed that the entire banquet was already filled with people.
A couple dressed in wedding attire slowly walked down the red carpet.
Chu Jiuning looked at the bride, whose head was covered with a red veil, and wondered who she could be.
In the gaze of everyone, the couple ascended the altar.
“Offering to the heavens.”
At first glance, Chu Jiuning scanned the crowd and thought to herself.
Someone will definitely come forward to interrupt later, right?
After all, how could those influential figures she had offended allow “Chu Jiuning” to marry the young master of the Royal Clan?
If this marriage really happens, they would have to consider making enemies with the entire Royal Clan if they still want to kill her.
As the newlyweds on the altar received the large red candle handed by a maid, preparing to pay their respects, suddenly a voice exclaimed, “Hold on!” Chu Jiuning raised an eyebrow, see? She was right.
Chu Jiuning turned her head and saw that the one interrupting was King of Sea Yue An, who had just spoken to her earlier.
Yue An leisurely walked out from the banquet, saying, “The future princess of the young master shares the same name as someone I used to know, so I wanted to confirm if she is the Chu Jiuning I know.”
Hearing Yue An publicly call her name, Chu Jiuning couldn’t help but feel a twitch in her eyelid.
“What does this mean, King of Sea?” Emperor Yi, the king of the Royal Clan, spoke up.
Yue An’s lips curled slightly upwards, and just as he was about to speak, someone stood up from the banquet, elegantly saying, “Actually, I am also curious whether the future princess of the young master is indeed the Chu Jiuning.”
Chu Jiuning followed the voice and looked over, hey! It was Song Qiye, the person she had encountered at the masked stall before.
“How lively! Let me join in as well,” a stunning woman in a red dress, with a smile that carried a hundred charms, also stood up.
Swoosh~
Wow, there’s even a woman here?
