NOVEL NEXT Chapter 756 The King Invites_1
Yin Tian also lifted his head, looking towards the two people approaching.
One of them, Yin Tian recognized, was none other than Qu Tingting from the Qu Family, whom he had encountered before.
The other girl was equally a young woman of marriageable age, with delicate features and particularly her pair of eyes, clear and moving.
What surprised Yin Tian was that he had not expected to see the king's daughter here.
"Rise."
The girl waved her hand and spoke with a giggly laugh, presenting herself as the naive young girl she appeared to be.
"It's you!"
Qu Tingting stared at Yin Tian in utter shock, not expecting that just after she had finished talking to the princess about Yin Tian, he would appear before her.
"Sister Qu, do you know him?"
The girl looked towards Qu Tingting, "This person doesn't seem to be from one of the six major families, how come I've never seen him before?"
A cold light flashed in Qu Tingting's eyes for a moment before she softly responded, "Princess, he is the Yin Tian I mentioned to you."
"Ah? What!"
The girl cried out in surprise, drawing close to Yin Tian and examined him carefully, "He is Yin Tian?"
"Why do you not kneel upon seeing me?"
"Why should I kneel?"
Yin Tian retorted.
A servant standing behind Yin Tian spoke up in a frightened tone, "Sir, please watch your words. This is Princess Linglong, the king's most beloved daughter."
"Be careful, Princess!"
Qu Tingting intentionally wanted to give Princess Linglong a poor impression of Yin Tian, so she deliberately slung mud at him, "This man is full of tricks; do not be deceived by him!"
Yin Tian did not even glance at Qu Tingting, merely lowering his gaze slightly to the Princess Linglong in front of him, "Is there anything else? If not, do not block my way."
Princess Linglong had not expected Yin Tian to be so cold towards her.
She let out a cold huff, glaring at Yin Tian, "Apologize to me now, and apologize to my sister Tingting!"
"Why?"
"What do you mean why!"
Princess Linglong was indeed enraged by Yin Tian, "I am the princess, I am ordering you to apologize, do you dare defy me?"
"Heh..."
Yin Tian let out a laugh of derision, "Why should I listen to you?"
"You!"
Princess Linglong was so angry she could hardly stand it.
She raised her hand and extended her slender, white fingers angrily towards Yin Tian, "Take him down! Lock him up in prison, and never let him out for the rest of his life!"
"Your Highness."
A servant spoke with a tremble, "This man is a distinguished guest of the king, currently awaiting an audience."
"What? Are you trying to threaten me with my father the king?"
Princess Linglong's face turned ugly, "I told you to lock him up in jail; can't you understand? I am my father's most beloved daughter; do my words have no effect?"
Yin Tian shook his head helplessly.
He could see it now.
This was clearly a girl spoiled rotten, much like a canary trapped in a cage.
As for the several servants, they knelt down once more, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
They dared not offend either party; this was their best course of action.
"You!"
Princess Linglong's face trembled with anger from the repeated loss of face, "How dare you all disobey my orders one after another!"
"I will tell my father!"
As she spoke, she turned away furiously, planning to enter the sleeping palace behind her.
Qu Tingting looked at Yin Tian with a cold smile.
Having offended Princess Linglong, how could Yin Tian survive?
She couldn't help recalling the humiliation she suffered at Yin Tian's hands that day, and a satisfied expression emerged on her face.
This time, she had finally gotten her revenge!
This was the fate of those who offended the Qu Family!
But as Princess Linglong had gone only a few steps, Honglong happened to return.
"Why are you so upset, Your Highness? What are you planning to do?"
"I am going to tell my father a complaint! That man dared to defy my command!"
"Your Highness, this man is a distinguished guest of the king, please return."
"Are you also using my father to intimidate me?"
In all her life, Princess Linglong had never been so aggrieved.
"Get out of my way!"
Princess Linglong tried to pass, but Honglong blocked her path, "Please return, Your Highness."
"You!"
Princess Linglong never thought that one day so many people would defy her at the same time!
"Linglong."
From within the sleeping palace, a calm but immensely authoritative voice rang out.
Tears suddenly appeared in Princess Linglong's eyes, "Father! They are all bullying me... Please, take my side!"
"You go back first."
The voice of the king drifted over.
Princess Linglong's body trembled.
Disbelieving, she looked towards the palace on the stairs.
Even her father...
Was not siding with her?
"Hmph!"
She stamped her foot furiously and then ran off into the distance, not even bothering to look back at her sister Tingting.
And Honglong approached Yin Tian, "Young man, the king summons you."
"Mhm."
Yin Tian replied, following Honglong up the steps until they finally reached the entrance of the sleeping palace.
Yin Tian lifted his head, his gaze landing on a man standing behind the door, his back towards him.
