King of Nine Skies-Chapter 186 - :Engagement

"Princess."

This beautiful young lady is none other than the Princess of the current royal family, the younger sister of Duanyi, namely Du Xinye.

Not only is she beautiful, but she also holds a prominent position. What's more, Duan Xinye has no lover at present. This naturally makes countless noble youths in the imperial city covet her. If they could win her affection, it would be a wonderful thing. Their status would become even more prominent, and they would also have more say within the family.

After all, many of them were born into large families and have many brothers. Matters of power struggle and competition are inevitable.

Duan Xin Ye walked straight ahead and came to the main seat, sitting down quietly.

Duan Wuyi also sat beside her and said with a smile, "Xinye, you've seen most of the people here already. Let me introduce someone to you."

After saying that, Duan Wuyi pointed at Lin Feng and said: "Lin Feng, a disciple of Tianyi Academy. You have an extraordinary talent. At such a young age, you possess the strength to defeat Nie Yan."

Duan Xin Ye raised her head and gave Lin Feng a cold glance. However, when she saw Lin Feng's ragged clothes, she was momentarily stunned.

Among the young people in this pavilion and terrace, each one was of high status and elegant appearance, dressed decently. But Lin Feng, even his clothes were torn and tattered. It was hard for him to avoid attracting attention.

However, immediately after that, Duan Xinye shifted his gaze back and forth, and did not look at Lin Feng again.

"Xin Ye, look, many talented young people from the imperial city are here. Let's have a drink of the wine of longing and see if there's anyone you fancy."

Duan Wuyi smiled and said, "Brother Duan, you're talking nonsense!" Duan Xinye raised her head and glanced at him, shaking her head and said, "Brother, what are you saying?"

"Haha, Xinye, this party was deliberately prepared for you by me."

Duan Wuyi laughed heartily. Duan Xinye lowered her head and remained silent. She had not yet met someone who could stir her heart.

At this moment, Yue Tianchen stood up, holding the wine cup in his hand, and sent it forward. Then he said, "Xin Ye, it's been a while since we last met. How are you doing?"

"Big brother Xie Tianchen, you care about me. I'm fine." Duan Xinye clearly knew about Mei Tianchen, but her expression remained rather indifferent. She raised her cup and took a sip of the wine of longing.

"Hello. That makes me feel relieved," said Yue Tianchen with a gentle nod. "In the past few days, Grandpa has been asking about you and me. He hopes that I can fulfill his wish and fulfill the engagement as soon as possible."

After Mo Tianchen finished speaking, many people turned their gazes towards him. There was a hint of envy in their eyes. Compared to them, Mo Tianchen's birth was even more advantageous.

Although the people of the Yue family have always kept their activities low-key, no one has ever dared to underestimate them. Many of them understand that if one were to carefully delineate the families, among the three major families, the royal family's Duan family and the Yue family are the only ones that truly belong to the same level. They all have an extremely terrifying common point, and this common point is not shared by the Yu family of the royal city.

When Duan Wuyi heard Yue Tianchen mention the word "engagement", he gave Yue Tianchen a deep look. In the depths of his eyes, a sharp intent flashed.

"Brother Moon, it seems that the marriage contract was not made between Xinye and you, is it?" Duan Wuyi gave a faint smile and said.

"Your Highness, I must be frank. Grandpa has no children of his own. Only Auntie has a daughter. As for the secrets of my family, Your Highness should be more informed than others. Although I am not a direct descendant of Grandpa, after all, nowadays the Moon family regards me, Yue Tianchen, as the legitimate heir. The engagement with Xinye should naturally be valid for me."

Yue Tianchen's gaze turned to Duan Wuyi and he said calmly, "Let Duan Wuyi be a little surprised. It seems that this Yue Tianchen is in a bit of a hurry. These matters were even brought up in public like this." Duan Wuyi felt a bit surprised. It seemed that Yue Tianchen was in a hurry and had brought up these matters in public.

"Perhaps, the Ye family has a legitimate heir now." A look of deep meaning flashed across Duan Woyi's eyes as he looked at Yue Tianchen.

"It's impossible. This kind of situation, it's impossible to occur. This point, Your Highness should understand it better than I do."

Yue Tianchen affirmed with certainty, "I'm sure of it. Before the matter is settled, Xinye's engagement is not valid. She can choose whoever she likes." Duan Wuyi smiled but remained silent. "In short, until the matter is resolved, her choice is hers alone."

"Come on, Brother Moon, let's have a drink."

Duan Wuyi shifted the topic and raised his glass, smiling.

Mo Tianchen felt helpless and also knew that he couldn't rush this matter. So he had a drink with Duan Wuyi.

Duan Xin Ye, a descendant of the royal family of the Duan clan, has inherited the power of the bloodline and possesses the Bloodline Spirit Power. Whoever marries her will have the privilege to pass on the power of the bloodline and obtain the Bloodline Spirit Power to their descendants in the future.

Even the men who are with her can reap great benefits.

How could such a woman fail to attract the admiration and yearning of these talented men from the imperial city?

It's a pity that the flowers are in love but the water flows carelessly. Princess Duan Xinye has always been rather indifferent to this matter. She has never shown any intention of seeking a lover and has never heard of her having a crush on anyone.

As a princess of the royal family, Duan Xin Ye has met many outstanding young men. Take her two elder brothers, Duan Wuda and Duan Wuyi, for example. The eldest brother, Duan Wuda, has extraordinary natural talents and is domineering and unyielding. The second brother, Duan Wuyi, is equally talented and has a gentle and understanding personality. These two brothers are so different from each other that it's hard to compare them. It's obviously unlikely for ordinary people to make Duan Xin Ye fall in love with them.

Lin Feng sat there quietly, drinking alone. Up to now, he still couldn't understand the meaning behind the invitation from Duan Wuyi to come to the party. However, during the meal, Duan Wuyi did give him a few meaningful glances, but Lin Feng didn't know the implications behind them.

"Here there are beautiful scenes and beautiful people, but something seems to be lacking." At this moment, a voice rang out and the gazes of the crowd shifted, landing on a person beside Meng Chong.

"Brother, what you imply... "

Meng Chong chuckled softly and asked.

"These young and talented ones here, why not use martial arts to add some excitement? Let the Princess殿下 have a look at it." This person responded.

When he finished speaking, many people showed signs of amusement. Martial arts, always the theme of the Martial World, it was indeed a good idea to show off one's strength in front of the princess.

"How can we help to liven up the atmosphere?" someone else chimed in. Then the young man surnamed Feng continued to respond: "Of course, it's through fighting. We can choose our opponents and have a go at sparring."

"Be careful, Brother Feng is quite an accomplished martial artist. I'm ashamed of myself. I wonder if Brother Feng wants to have a sparring match with someone to cheer up the Princess?" Meng Chong said with a smile. Immediately, Lin Feng, who was drinking with his head down, felt a gaze fall upon him. The owner of this gaze was precisely that young man with the surname Feng.

Seeing this scene, many people's gazes turned to Lin Feng. It seemed that the good show was about to begin.

"Upon hearing that Prince Xianzai said that Brother Lin was able to defeat the Black Demon King, I, Shi Xiang, am willing to learn from you. Please enlighten me with your wisdom."

When Lin Feng heard Feng Xiao's words, he raised his head and glanced at Feng Xiao and Meng Chong. Seeing Meng Chong's smile in his eyes, Lin Feng let out a cold chuckle in his heart.

"I give up," Lin Feng responded indifferently. Then he continued to lower his head, not looking at Feng Xiang. Lin Feng practiced martial arts not for the sake of entertaining others or pleasing women. He did it for his own sake.

The crowd's gazes narrowed slightly. They never expected Lin Feng to concede so readily. They couldn't help but show disdain. It seems this guy is just boasting. The Second Prince merely exaggerated the situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the slightest courage to accept the challenge from Xiao Xiang. Instead, he would have given up and even conceded defeat, which is truly disgraceful.

Duan Xin Ye gave Lin Feng a glance. His gaze flashed a hint of strangeness. Warriors have a very strong desire for victory. Easily conceding defeat is not something a person pursuing martial arts would do.

"Ha ha, Lin Feng, today the prince and the princess are both here. Brother Feng invited you to have a friendly competition. You just flatly refused. It seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?" Meng Chong gave a sly smile and stared at Lin Feng.

"Your meaning is that here, whoever is called upon to compete has to agree to it, right?" Lin Feng looked at Meng Chong and asked.

"Being able to entertain the Princess殿下 is our honor. We must do so." Meng Chong responded.

"All right then." Lin Feng gave a slight nod and looked at Meng Chong, saying, "Now, I'll challenge you to a duel. I'll entertain the princess with this. How about that?"

" You... " Meng Chong's gaze faltered for a moment, his eyes glinting with coldness. Even though Lin Feng's strength was not as formidable as that of the Black Demon, it was still definitely stronger than his. Judging from the teasing look in Lin Feng's eyes, if he agreed to have a sparring match with Lin Feng, he would probably not fare well.

"Well, you just said that it was your honor to entertain the princess. Why didn't you say anything?" Lin Feng looked at Meng Chong's fixed gaze and asked, causing Meng Chong's expression to gradually darken.

Lin Feng paid no heed to his gaze and his expression turned slightly colder. He said coldly, "If you can't do it, then don't make a fuss about it anymore."
