After a master of metaphysics severed ties with his family, the whole family was filled with regret!

Chapter 30 Return Banquet

"Why does Your Majesty say that my junior sister is in the Xiao Prince's residence? Shouldn't she be in the Luo residence?"

Junior Sister went down the mountain to find her family. Shouldn't she be staying at the Luo residence? Why is she staying at another man's house?
Nalan Qingyin was filled with doubt and confusion about this.

"You'll have to ask the Imperial Preceptor's junior sister. She left the Luo residence with her maids and servants and went straight to Bei Ming. She kept saying that she and he were destined to be together, making it impossible for Bei Ming to refuse her request."

Xiao Jinglin smiled and told Nalan Qingyin about the matter between Luo Chujiu and Xiao Beiming.

Nalan Qingyin was stunned upon hearing this. "Xiao Beiming is Junior Sister's destined one! Wait, let me calculate Xiao Beiming's birth time."

Nalan Qingyin had never imagined that her junior sister's destined person was so close to her! Otherwise, she would have investigated Xiao Beiming thoroughly long ago!

Seeing that Nalan Qingyin had struck that familiar fortune-telling pose again, Xiao Jinglin did not disturb him and simply watched him quietly.

After a long while, Nalan Qingyin relaxed her fingers, and then her expression cleared:
"I have calculated it. Xiao Beiming and Junior Sister are indeed a good match. Their marriage will be happy and they will be able to spend their lives together."

So you don't object?

Xiao Jinglin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Just now he looked disapproving, how come he changed his expression after calculating the birth dates of the two people?"

"Why should we object? The two of them are a match made in heaven, and no one can stop them by opposing them. My junior sister's divination skills are superior to mine, so she must have already foreseen her marriage with Xiao Beiming, which is why she took the initiative to move into the Xiao Prince's Mansion."

Nalan Qingyin looked at Xiao Jinglin with a calm expression and said.

Xiao Jinglin asked with a surprised look:
"You're saying Miss Luo's Bagua mystical arts are superior to yours? But aren't you the senior brother? How could that be?"

Seeing Xiao Jinglin's curiosity, Nalan Qingyin had nothing to hide.

"Your Majesty is unaware that in the realm of mystical arts, talent is far more important than effort. My junior sister was born with a mystical physique, and since she was six years old, her mystical arts have been the most outstanding in the sect. Even I am ashamed to admit that I am inferior to her. I have no reason to deny it; my junior sister is indeed very powerful. I even intend to have her succeed me as my junior sister."

When Nalan Qingyin mentioned her junior sister, she looked proud and honored.

Nalan Qingyin's words deeply shocked Xiao Jinglin.

Is Miss Nalu really some legendary figure? That she could earn such praise from the Imperial Advisor!
You should know that the Grand Preceptor is a figure worshipped by all the subjects of the Nanzhao Kingdom, including the emperor. Yet Luo Chujiu is even more powerful than the Grand Preceptor, not to mention that Luo Chujiu is so young!

"By the way, Your Majesty, why did you appear in my palace so late at night? Did you know in advance that I was going to leave the pass?"

Nalan Qingyin then remembered that she had bumped into Xiao Jinglin just as she stepped out, so she asked.

“In the past, when the Imperial Preceptor went into seclusion, he would emerge from seclusion in about a month. So, based on the time, I think the Imperial Preceptor should be out of seclusion soon, which is why I have been visiting the Imperial Preceptor’s residence these past few days.”

Xiao Jinglin's explanation left Nalan Qingyin with no fault to draw.

"I see. Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty. I have now emerged from the pass. It is getting late, Your Majesty should also go back to rest."

"Oh, right, there's something else I forgot to tell the Imperial Advisor. Tomorrow is the Luo family's homecoming banquet for Miss Luo, and they've invited the prominent families of the capital. Would the Imperial Advisor also like to attend?"

"A homecoming banquet? Since the Luo family is holding a homecoming banquet for Junior Sister, why is she leaving the Luo family? Could it be that she was wronged in the Luo family?"

Nalan Qingyin frowned, as if she were about to confront the Luo family at any moment. "You can ask Miss Luo yourself tomorrow. I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, so would the Imperial Advisor like to accompany me tomorrow?"

"Of course! My junior sister has only been back in the capital for a short time and has no powerful backing. Naturally, I must go and support her! Let those people know that my junior sister is not someone anyone can bully!"

Nalan Qingyin said with great certainty, and Xiao Jinglin smiled upon hearing this.

"Then the Imperial Advisor should rest early. I will attend Miss Luo's return banquet with the Imperial Advisor tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please take care."

Nalan Qingyin nodded, then watched Xiao Jinglin leave before returning to her room to start working on the gift she would give to her junior sister the next day!
The next morning, Luo Chujiu got up to wash and change, and casually cast a divination for herself:
Despite numerous obstacles, a benefactor will appear, and success will be assured.

The moment Luo Chujiu saw the divination result, she knew exactly what was going to happen that day.

"Miss, your outfit is really beautiful. The prince has excellent taste."

"Is it the clothes that are prettier, or is it me, your young lady, who is prettier?"

Feiyun was taken aback, then quickly replied:

“Of course, Miss looks better! No matter how beautiful the clothes are, they are lifeless things and can't compare to Miss’s liveliness.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu revealed a bright smile:
"Today is a big day for your young lady. Let me take you to see the world."

"Yes."

Feiyun thought that the big day Luo Chujiu mentioned was to announce her official return to the Beijing entertainment circle, but little did she know that Luo Chujiu's true meaning was something that would leave everyone in Beijing speechless.

The Luo family started making preparations early in the morning. Since the homecoming banquet was a lunch banquet, they didn't have much time to prepare and had to get busy early in the morning.

Luo Wanping ordered someone to keep watch at the door. Once they saw Luo Chujiu, they were to immediately take her to Caoshuang Pavilion to change her clothes. She couldn't appear in front of the guests dressed in rags, otherwise, how could the Luo family save face?
Soon, guests began to arrive one after another. As the hostess, Lady Luo Jiang greeted the guests and invited them to take their seats, waiting for the banquet to begin.

As invited guests, they all came with curiosity, wanting to see who the eldest young lady, who had been away from the Luo family for many years, was that the Luo family would hold such a grand homecoming banquet for her.
They had also heard that Miss Luo seemed to have a bad relationship with everyone in the Luo family, and there were even rumors that Miss Luo had been kicked out of the Luo family!

With these doubts and curiosities, guests arrived in an endless stream, looking around eager to see Miss Luo's true face.

As soon as Luo Chujiu arrived at the Luo residence, she was taken to Caoshuang Pavilion by the guards at the gate.

Luo Sunshi and Luo Chuxue were already waiting at Caoshuang Pavilion. They originally thought that Luo Chujiu would be in a very sorry state, but to their surprise, she appeared dressed in a luxurious and extravagant manner.

"Eldest sister, where have you been these days? Grandmother and Uncle and Aunt are very worried about you."

As soon as Luo Chuxue saw Luo Chujiu, she went up to her and warmly shook her hand. Luo Chujiu, however, gently dodged to the side, not giving her a chance to touch her at all.

"Speak your mind, but don't get my clothes dirty. These are clothes that the prince gave me. If you get them dirty, you can't afford to pay for them."

Luo Chujiu deliberately showed Luo Chuxue such disdain, and after hearing Luo Chujiu's words, Luo Chuxue's previous reluctant guess was confirmed!
She really did go to Prince Xiao's residence!
