Shi Yinghan continued rubbing her temples, looking quite distressed.

Ning Yue, confused, asked, "Senior brother, are there any aftereffects?"

"..." Shi Yinghan paused for a moment, "...No."

"This..." He paused for a moment, then introduced Ying Yan to Ning Yue, "is the second prince of Tianqi Kingdom, Ying Yan."

"Tianqi Kingdom...?" Ning Yue murmured, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

"That's right..." Shi Yinghan explained, "Currently, the entire lower realm is jointly ruled by the Tianqi Kingdom."

"This...Second Prince Ying," Shi Yinghan said with some difficulty, carefully considering his words.

"Strictly speaking... I'm probably your biggest fan?"

Ning Yue: "..."

Ning Yue momentarily ignored the sense of familiarity Tianqi Kingdom gave her and was instantly drawn to Ying Yan.

...a loyal fan?

What the hell?

Ning Yue looked at Ying Yan, whose expression showed a moment of bewilderment.

She hurriedly looked away from Ning Yue's gaze, appearing as if she were shy.

Ning Yue: "..."

You're saying that the cold, aloof man who just looked at her and made her come out from behind the barrier was her fan?!

Are you kidding me?

What fan doesn't recognize their idol's face?!

As if he had noticed Ning Yue's expression and words, Ying Yan carefully chose his words and spoke earnestly.

"I have only heard of Miss Ning's deeds, but I have never met her. However, what Miss Ning has done has truly earned my respect."

Ning Yue: "..."

What did she do? Did she kill the twelve members of the Demon Clan? Or did she refine a Heaven-grade pill?

"I originally wanted to see you at the competition, but I didn't expect you to be so fast and eliminate Qi Xucheng directly."

Later, I had to return to the mortal realm for some business, and I haven't had the chance since.

"How lucky, Miss Ning has also come down to the mortal realm."

Please let me know next time, and I'll make sure to arrange all of Ms. Ning's itinerary, covering all expenses.

Ying Yan was at the peak of the Golden Core stage at the time and did not have the opportunity to spar with Ning Yue. He always wanted to see Ning Yue, but never had the chance.

Shi Yinghan nodded in agreement from the side: "Although he is a sword cultivator, he is a prince and quite wealthy."

The subtext is: He can arrange it perfectly well.

Oh... Ning Yue nodded, thinking to himself, that's probably because he admires her for killing the twelve members of the Demon Clan.

As for why Shi Yinghan knew Ying Yan.

That's because Ying Yan and he were old friends.

Ever since Ning Yue's reputation spread, Ying Yan had been asking him to introduce Ning Yue to someone.

However, because Ying Yan looked like a fanatical fan, Shi Yinghan repeatedly declined to cover for the sake of his junior sister's peace.

Ying Yan was never allowed to actually run into Ning Yue.

But now it's impossible to hide it anymore. Giving Ying Yan a good beating will be a way of making up for his efforts to prevent the two of them from meeting during this time.

Fortunately, Ying Yan was unaware of Shi Yinghan's thoughts, otherwise he would have given Shi Yinghan a good beating.

"What are your plans for now, Miss Ning?" Ying Yan asked warmly. "How about we go to a nearby restaurant for a chat?"

Before Ning Yue could answer, Ying Yan smiled.

"I wonder if Miss Ning has stopped consuming grains and is no longer eating any earthly food?"

"No, no!" Ning Yue said, "Absolutely! I love to eat it!"

Yang Fei stood next to Ning Yue, glancing at Ying Yan and then at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

He would occasionally frown and scratch his head.

Ying Yan led the way to a very luxurious restaurant nearby.

Ning Yue had wanted to try the food there for a long time, but hadn't had the chance yet. It just so happened that Ying Yan invited him, so why not?

She nudged Yang Fei, who was standing next to her.

"What are you thinking about, Senior Brother, all mysterious?"

Yang Fei frowned and looked up at the sky: "I have a feeling I've heard the name Tianqi Kingdom from someone recently. Who could it be?"

His mention of it reminded Ning Yue of something that had seemed familiar to her earlier.

So the two students made the same gestures and expressions, and seriously considered the situation.

Suddenly, the two stopped in their tracks and looked at each other.

"—Hey, wasn't there someone named Ying Zi before?"

"—That princess from the lower realm!"

Yang Fei and Ning Yue spoke at the same time.

Hearing the commotion, Ying Yan, who was in front, turned around and looked over with some confusion.

"Yingzi? That's my third sister. Do you know her, Miss Ning?"

Ning Yue and Yang Fei immediately realized what was happening.

No wonder they seemed familiar, they're siblings!

Seeing that Ning Yue did not answer, Ying Yan asked again, "Miss Ning?"

"We bumped into each other before and chatted for a bit," Ning Yue replied immediately.

"I see..." Ying Yan smiled, and Ning Yue was somewhat dazed by his smile.

When he smiled, the harsh lines of his lips and nose softened, and his already gentle eyes curved as he looked at Ning Yue with admiration.

"Third Sister is just as lovely as Miss Ning," Ying Yan said gently.

Ning Yue: "..."

Yang Fei: "..."

Shi Yinghan, standing nearby, asked, "Do junior sister and junior brother know Ying Zi?"

"...We met once, I guess," Yang Fei said reluctantly.

Ning Yue and Yang Fei went to the competition venue first to scout it out in advance.

When booking the inn, they happened to run into Yingzi and her servant Aliang.

Ying Zi herself was nothing special, just a bit of the haughty and aloofness typical of royal girls.

Although this arrogance and aloofness didn't attract much attention in the upper realm.

But afterwards, she was willing to put aside her pride and sincerely apologize, which shows she is a sensible little girl.

The main problem was that her servant, A-Liang, relied on his status as a member of the royal family and judged people by their appearance.

Ning Yue still remembers the scene and the way A Liang scattered the spirit stones on the ground and made her crawl on the ground to pick them up.

In the end, Ning Yue successfully humiliated A Liang, giving him a small sense of satisfaction.

……

Yingyan, in keeping with the hospitality of a host, served the most expensive dishes, and two tables were already set with various delicacies that were still not finished.

Finally, Ning Yue did her best to stop Ying Yan from serving the dishes.

Ying Yan seemed a little reluctant: "There are still many delicious dishes that haven't been served yet."

"That's enough, that's enough..." Ning Yue said immediately, afraid that Ying Yan would go up again.

During the meal, Ying Yan showed concern for Ning Yue, serving him food and tea as if afraid that he might not take good care of him. He would also talk to Ning Yue when his mouth was full of food.

Because Ning Yue never has a mouth that isn't full...

Ning Yue: "..."

Shi Yinghan had a "I knew it" look on her face; she really is a loyal fan.

The fans were so enthusiastic that Ning Yue didn't fully enjoy the meal and wanted to say goodbye to Ying Yan and come back for another meal the next day.

The taste was indeed excellent, especially to Ning Yue's liking; it was as if the dish was tailor-made for her stomach.

After the meal, Ying Yan enthusiastically offered to show them around.

When she couldn't refuse his hospitality, the jade pendant on Shi Yinghan's waist suddenly started flashing rapidly.

It's like some kind of bad sign.

The flashing frequency of the disciple's jade token varies, with varying intensity and speed.

The jade tablet was flashing so rapidly just now, as if something urgent had happened within the sect.

Shi Yinghan stepped aside and solemnly picked it off.

Ning Yue and his group, along with Ying Yan, stood still, holding their breath and waiting for Shi Yinghan.

As expected, when Shi Yinghan returned, he still had a solemn expression and first apologized to Ying Yan.

"Something urgent has suddenly come up within the sect, and I'm afraid I can't stay any longer. We'll talk again when we have time."
