Many children, many blessings; my family helped me win over the ultimate fairy.

The atmosphere inside the main hall

Because of Ji Yue's intrusion and her earth-shattering questioning,

It instantly froze.

There seemed to be invisible lightning flashing in the air.

On one side are those who are proud and unwilling to lag behind others.

She represents an immortal divine dynasty and is the future empress's daughter.

On one side is a quasi-emperor of unparalleled elegance and profound understanding of the Dao, who holds sway over a top-tier sect.

Two stunningly beautiful women, who were usually evenly matched in beauty,

But now, because of the same man,

Standing on the same stage

A silent confrontation unfolds.

Liu Shenyin's clear, cold eyes,

He quietly watched Ji Yue.

She didn't speak, but her faint gaze seemed to say: In everything, there is a first come, first served order.

Ji Yue, however, glared back defiantly.

Those beautiful eyes burned with flames.

It was as if it were making a declaration.

No one can take away the person I've set my sights on!

Jiang Yuan sat in the main seat, watching the scene before him with great interest, finding it more interesting than any grand drama.

Good grief, this looks like a scene from a chaotic battle is about to unfold.

However, he likes it.

"It counts, of course it counts."

Jiang Yuan spoke lazily.

The silence inside the hall was broken.

"I, the Emperor, always keep my word. Since I said I'd give you time to consider, I will naturally give you that time."

"However, I should have already said that I don't have the time, nor will I wait for you indefinitely."

Upon hearing the initial answer, Ji Yue's tense face relaxed slightly.

But she quickly became nervous again, biting her lip with her teeth.

"I...don't want to be ranked behind an outsider!"

"outsider?"

Liu Shenyin finally spoke.

Her voice remained cool and aloof.

But it carried a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.

"Your Highness, you are mistaken. The divine voice has come to discuss the Dao with His Highness the Prince and explore the true meaning of the zither. This is an elegant matter."

However, Her Highness the Princess broke into the palace late at night and spoke rudely. What was the reason for this?

"Discussing the Way?"

Ji Yue sneered, her disdain undisguised.

"That sounds nice! Everyone knows what you're really up to. You're just using this discussion as an excuse to vie for favor! I'm ashamed to be associated with you!"

"you……"

Even with Liu Shenyin's mental state of hundreds of thousands of years,

Having his thoughts exposed so directly by a junior, he felt somewhat embarrassed.

A slight blush rose on her pretty face beneath the white veil.

That's enough.

Just as the two were about to start arguing,

Jiang Yuan's voice rang out again.

He rose from his seat.

He slowly walked between the two.

Those deep eyes,

First, he glanced at Ji Yue, who was glaring angrily.

Then she turned to the somewhat embarrassed Liu Shenyin.

A helpless expression appeared on his face.

"Both of you are people I have chosen, why must you be so hostile?"

As soon as he said that,

Ji Yue and Liu Shenyin both trembled.

A blush appeared on their faces simultaneously.

"My time is precious, and I don't have time to watch you argue here."

Jiang Yuan stretched and yawned, looking impatient.

"How about this?"

His gaze swept over the two of them, finally settling on Liu Shenyin.

"Sect Leader Liu, didn't you want to discuss the Way of the Qin?"

"continue."

"what?"

Liu Shenyin was taken aback.

"You play yours."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he grabbed Ji Yue's wrist, who was still in shock.

"you……"

Ji Yue gasped in surprise and instinctively tried to struggle.

But Jiang Yuan's arm was like an iron clamp, making her unable to move.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to be the last one?"

"Now, I, the Crown Prince, will give you a chance."

"Either come with me now, or go back to your Ziwei Imperial Pavilion and keep waiting."

"This imperial prince doesn't have that much patience."

The warm breath made Ji Yue's pretty face turn red.

She could feel Liu Shenyin's cold gaze fixed on her from behind, making her feel like she was being pricked by thorns.

A strong sense of shame welled up inside me.

But at the same time, an even greater force, called resentment and a desire to possess,

It also completely took over her reason.

Tonight, she must be faster than Liu Shenyin!

Thinking of this,

Ji Yuexin gritted her teeth and made a firm decision.

Then he retaliated fiercely with a slap on Jiang Yuan's lips!

"Hmm!"

Jiang Yuan was also a little surprised; this girl, who looked so young, was actually so proactive.

However, he likes it.

Inside the main hall,

Liu Shenyin was completely stunned by what she saw.

Her face, which was always calm and expressionless,

This moment is filled with astonishment and shock.

And a hint of envy that she herself was unaware of?

Because she still had to continue playing the piano!

This... this is simply...

absurd!

humiliation!

But...why is my own heart...

Instead of feeling angry,

Why did it jump so fast?

Jiang Yuan seemed to sense the complex look in Liu Shenyin's eyes as well.

He released Ji Yue, turned around and smiled at her, revealing his teeth.

"Sect Leader Liu, what are you standing there for?"

Keep playing.

"This imperial prince is still waiting to hear celestial music."

After saying that, he picked up Princess Ji Yue in his arms.

With a soft cry, she strode towards the inner hall.

The voices and shadows of the two people

It gradually disappeared into the depths of the inner hall.

Only Liu Shenyin was left.

Standing blankly in the center of the hall,

Looking at that ancient celestial zither radiating supreme Daoist charm,

My mind went completely blank.

bomb?

Or not play it?

This is clearly the most precious treasure of my own sect.

It was the ultimate imperial weapon she had always dreamed of.

If one could glean even a glimpse of it...

Perhaps the path to the throne is promising.

She glanced in the direction of the inner palace.

She bit her red lips.

Finally, Liu Shenyin slowly sat down.

She gently placed her slender fingers on the strings.

Forget it, what does dignity matter?

Faced with the opportunity to attain enlightenment,

In the face of the sect's future, everything else can be sacrificed.

Correct!

That's right, that's it!

However, when her delicate hands touched the zither,

This time, however, she couldn't calm her mind.

With a buzzing sound,

Liu Shenyin suddenly stood up, her white dress fluttering, full of vitality.

When she realized it,

The first step has already been taken.

They walked towards the inner hall, towards the direction of Jiang Yuan and Ji Yue.

Knock on the dormitory door.

She didn't want to be the last one either.

"Your Highness, Shenyin... has something to ask of me."

After a while,

Jiang Yuan's deep voice came from inside the room.

"Oh, then come in. I happen to have something to discuss with you as well. Let's talk together."
