Chapter 38 Su Mobai is my fiancé.

Hua Ye's words.

It sounds like a compliment.

That's too frivolous.

Keisha remained unmoved and gave him a slight bow, "Your Highness Hua Ye."

Hua Ye approached, his gaze moving from her face to her shoulders and neck, then lingering for a moment along the lines of her dress before looking back with a familiar smile. "Long time no see, you've become more and more beautiful."

95

That sounds like a compliment.

But it sounded very uncomfortable to Su Mobai.

Keisha didn't even raise an eyebrow. "Your Highness is still the same as before."

Hua Ye's smile deepened. "Really? I think I've changed quite a bit."

Hua Ye seemed oblivious to the slight distance between them, his gaze still fixed on her. "You're becoming more and more..."

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze suddenly shifted, and he saw Su Mobai standing beside Keisha.

Stop.

Su Mobai stood half a step behind the two sisters, his dress clean, his eyes smiling, looking neither like a guard nor a servant. Most importantly, Keisha was standing too close to him.

Hua Ye's smile faded slightly. "And who is this?"

Liang Bing was about to speak.

Keisha spoke first.

She glanced at Su Mobai sideways. "Su Mobai."

"My fiancé."

Su Mobai didn't expect Keisha to go public like this!

Liang Bing was also completely astonished!

Then I got angry.

Hua Ye's smile froze instantly.

He looked at Keisha, then at Su Mobai, as if he had heard something that shouldn't exist.

"fiancé?"

The three words that came out of his mouth had lost their previous gentleness and instead carried a sharpness that was hard to suppress.

Keisha looked at him. "Is there a problem?"

Hua Ye's lips twitched.

Of course there are problems.

This is a huge problem.

When did Keisha get a fiancé?

Who decided that?

Was it ordered by Vislan?

Or did she decide it herself?

Why should an ordinary person, who seems to have appeared out of nowhere, stand next to her?

Hua Ye's eyes quickly turned cold, but with Hua Que beside him, he couldn't lash out directly. He could only suppress his displeasure into a smile and turn to Su Mobai, "I see."

He looked Su Mobai up and down. "I didn't expect that the taste of the people of Merlo Star would become so unique."

Upon hearing this, Liang Bing's eyes turned cold.

Su Mobai smiled, as if he hadn't understood the thorn in his throat, and said, "Your Highness flatters me."

Hua Ye raised an eyebrow.

Was I complimenting you?

"I think so," Su Mobai answered naturally. "After all, it's normal for someone to be unique if they can catch Keisha's eye."

Liang Bing almost burst out laughing.

Keisha's lips twitched very slightly.

Hua Ye's expression turned completely ugly.

He had intended to make a sarcastic remark to make this outsider admit his inadequacy. But Su Mobai didn't take his approach at all, instead praising himself in a self-righteous manner.

A cold glint appeared in Hua Ye's eyes. Just as he was about to speak again, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

Hua Que raised his hand and pressed it down on him.

The force was not strong.

But Hua Ye's voice stopped immediately.

Seeing this, Su Mobai immediately understood what was going on.

Old Wang is still around.

Xiao Wang has to shut up.

Hua Que hadn't said much since he entered the room.

But his gaze remained fixed on Su Mobai.

Su Mobai could sense the scrutiny.

It's not just the eyes that are seeing.

It was as if something swept over him, layer upon layer. A faint light flashed in Hua Que's eyes, so fast it was almost an illusion. At the same time, in his vision, lines of data around Su Mobai appeared, then collapsed one after another.

Vital signs cannot be fully analyzed.

The gene sequence could not be locked.

Dark information reading failed.

The feedback from the mental intervention was empty.

Unknown origin.

unknown....

Hua Que's expression remained unchanged.

But he didn't immediately withdraw his hand from Hua Ye's shoulder.

interesting.

A person even he couldn't scan clearly.

It seems that the gifts prepared for Vislan's birthday banquet this time are more valuable than he expected.

Hua Que finally spoke, his voice carrying the depth of years, "Su Mobai, is that right?"

Su Mobai bowed and said, "Yes, I have met King Hua Que."

Hua Que looked at him and said, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the nobles who were listening intently all shifted slightly.

The words of Hua Quewang himself, "Heroes emerge from among the young," carry considerable weight.

Hua Ye's expression stiffened even more.

Hua Que continued, "It's quite impressive that it caught the eye of Vislan."

Su Mobai's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

This old guy is really hard to fool.

He wasn't talking about someone who could catch Keisha's eye, nor someone who could catch Liang Bing's eye, but rather someone like Vislan.

This is tantamount to directly stating that the person who truly recognizes Su Mobai's presence here is the Lord of Merlo Star.

Su Mobai smiled. "Your Majesty flatters me. I was just lucky."

"Good luck is also a skill." Hua Que looked at him. "Many people don't even have the luck to be seen."

Su Mobai did not answer the call again.

That's a difficult question to answer.

Receiving it too low makes one appear petty and lacking in class.

If you catch it too high, it's easy to incur resentment.

So he just smiled and continued to act as a seemingly well-mannered young painter.

Hua Ye wanted to say something, but Hua Que's hand was still on his shoulder.

He had no choice but to shut up.

Keisha saw this scene without any emotion in her eyes, but she understood very well what was going on.

Hua Que has already noticed Su Mobai.

This was exactly the result the father wanted.

This is also the first step that she and Su Mobai must face now.

Put the person on the table.

Let everyone see it.

Let everyone guess.

Just then, footsteps came from the direction of the main seat.

Vislan finally came down from the high place.

Today he wore a lord's ceremonial robe in deep red and dark gold, without armor, yet more imposing than any armor could provide. As he walked, nobles along the way bowed and made way for him. He didn't look at anyone else, and went straight to Hua Que.

The two stood facing each other.

One is the king of the Angelic Civilization.

One is the lord of the planet Melo.

The hushed chatter that had been emanating from the banquet hall vanished instantly.

Vislan raised his hand in a proper bow, displaying complete manners without being servile or arrogant.

"Your Majesty has come from afar, and the planet Merlo has failed to greet you properly."

Hua Que finally turned his gaze away from Su Mobai and looked at his old friend of many years.

"Do we really need to say all this between us?"

Vislan smiled. "Propriety must not be disregarded."

Hua Que also laughed.

But neither of them showed much genuine ease in their eyes.

Hua Ye stood behind Hua Que, his gaze still fixed between Su Mobai and Keisha, as if a thorn was stuck there, impossible to pull out or swallow.

Liang Bing saw it.

She slowly took half a step closer to Su Mobai and lowered her voice, saying, "You're famous now."

97

Su Mobai still wore a polite smile, his lips barely moving.

"Thanks for reminding me."

Are you scared?

"I'm not afraid."

Liang Bing smiled.

Keisha stood at the entrance of the banquet hall, her white and gold dress draped at her feet, her fingers resting quietly in front of her, her face still displaying that dignified and composed expression.

When nobles came and went, they all felt that the eldest daughter of Melos Star had become more and more dignified, and she did not show the slightest impropriety even when facing King Hua Que and His Highness Hua Ye.

But she was not at peace.
