Chapter 1566: He Refused (Fifth Update)
"Greetings, Little Princess." Everyone spoke in unison, faces respectful, bowing their heads, cupping their hands in salute.
"Hehe, let the banquet begin. Everyone, don't hold back." Surrounded by stars, Zhao Lingxi, in a light blue long dress, was extremely graceful. Her pure, delicate, palm-sized little face radiated a charming and clear smile, and her jet-black eyes, like agate, sparkled with fine light, resembling a starry essence.
Su Chen glanced from afar, somewhat surprised.
Zhao Lingxi's strength has progressed so quickly!!!
Is she already at the Semi-step Great Path?
It seems that Zhao Lingxi has completed the legendary Vein Cleansing.
At Zhao Lingxi's age, with this strength, even Su Chen couldn't help but exclaim that she was a monster.
Furthermore, perhaps due to the surge in strength, Zhao Lingxi's temperament seems to have changed slightly.
Apart from that unique playfulness and purity, she seemed to have gained a bit more agility and noble aura.
In the great hall, many disciples sneakily glance at Zhao Lingxi and dare not look directly again.
"Eh, Su Shuizhe, you're here too?" Just walking into the great hall, heading towards the main seat, Zhao Lingxi suddenly saw Su Shuizhe, who was positioned even closer than the Heavenly Saint Area. Her beautiful eyes shone brightly, somewhat surprised and delighted.
She knew that Su Shuizhe had been in the Asteroid Sea for the past few years.
As Zhao Lingxi spoke, many present held their breath, extremely envious of Su Shuizhe.
The Little Princess actually took the initiative to speak to Su Shuizhe!
What kind of honor is this?
Su Shuizhe, however, was neither humble nor arrogant, also smiling, he said, "Little Princess's birthday, how could I not come back?"
Even though he seemed neither humble nor arrogant, that slight pride was still impossible to conceal. Presently, besides him, Su Shuizhe, who else could enjoy such treatment?
"Little Princess, your strength has grown really fast." The elegant and soft-voiced Wu Jue spoke, sincerely praising.
"You're not bad either." Zhao Lingxi glanced at Wu Jue, nodded, she had some reluctance towards Wu Jue, not for any other reason but simply because of Wu Jue's temperament, she didn't like it.
Zhao Lingxi walked to the main seat and sat down.
Then, obviously, her beautiful eyes lit up with joy.
Because, there were several delicacies she liked.
Her status in the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion was so high, she barely had any friends. To the disciples of the Nine Veins in the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, she was like a fairy.
But in fact, she was, after all, just a young girl who liked delicious food, and there was nothing wrong with that.
Picking up an exquisitely crafted piece of pastry, Zhao Lingxi tasted it in small bites, tasting it and saying, "It's still that flavor."
During this period, she had been in secluded cultivation, only emerging this afternoon, utterly bored.
While tasting the pastry, she lifted her head and looked at Xue Hanyue: "Sister Han Yue, your earrings are so pretty."
A sudden remark.
Made Xue Hanyue feel like she was struck by a pie from the sky.
How could she have guessed that Zhao Lingxi would take the initiative to speak to her?
After all, she and Zhao Lingxi didn't know each other.
For a moment, Xue Hanyue's face was flushed with excitement: "If the Little Princess doesn't mind, later, Han Yue will give the earrings to you."
"Hehe, sure!" Zhao Lingxi responded with a smile.
Xue Hanyue was even more excited, her earrings weren't anything too valuable, but being noticed by Zhao Lingxi was truly incredibly fortunate.
If she could become friends or even good sisters with Zhao Lingxi because of this, she would step up to heaven.
In the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, having a good relationship with Zhao Lingxi, among other things, she would be directly in the eyes of those high-ranking officials, and from this point on, almost no one would dare to provoke her.
Yang Gui whispered, "Han Yue, congratulations, from now on, I'll rely on you to take care of me."
Yang Gui was truly a little envious.
Xue Hanyue's luck was simply exploding!
Not just Yang Gui, even Yoo Yan, Wu Jue, and others were dead jealous!
In the distance.
Human Usual Area.
Gao Peng muttered, "Can't see the Little Princess clearly, but merely from a blurry shadow, you can tell that the Little Princess is incredibly beautiful, truly the number one beauty in the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, living up to her reputation."
"Nonsense." Mei Xiuxiu rolled her eyes at Gao Peng, then looked at Su Chen, seeing Su Chen quite peculiar, while others were craning their necks, trying to sneak more glances at the Little Princess, Su Chen didn't seem interested at all and was drinking by himself, truly... not knowing what to say.
But fortunately, at this time, everyone's thoughts and attention were on the Little Princess Lingxi, so no one would notice the junior brother, giving her a bit of relief.
In front of the main seat, Heavenly Saint Area, Su Shuizhe also poured a cup of wine, while drinking, he said, "Little Princess, during your secluded cultivation, the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion has produced an amazing figure."
When he said this, many present turned pale, feeling a little disheartened.
Su Shuizhe was causing a scene.
No need to say, the person Su Shuizhe was referring to was Su Chen.
That rapid provocation caught many off guard; it was truly swift and fierce.
"Oh?" Obviously, Zhao Lingxi was instantly intrigued.
"This remarkable figure is even more proud than the Little Princess." Su Shuizhe continued, indeed, he was driving Su Chen towards a dead end.
"Who?" Zhao Lingxi looked at Su Shuizhe.
"This person, young, but has created an incredible record for Eliminating Red, just joined Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, yet already started as a Six-Star Disciple, still a Closed-door Disciple of a Lineage Master, basking in the love of all, hehe..." Su Shuizhe's smile deepened threefold: "Earlier, I wanted to introduce him to the Little Princess, but guess what the Little Princess said?"
"What?" Zhao Lingxi became even more interested.
"The person refused." Su Shuizhe uttered these three words: "Rejected without hesitation."
In an instant!!!
The great hall turned icy cold.
The temperature dropped by ten degrees suddenly.
It almost froze everything.
All the disciples present felt their hearts chill, almost as if their hearts were being torn apart.
Su Shuizhe simply... astonishingly black-hearted!
His words, simply put, were like complaining to Zhao Lingxi that someone looked down on her, someone dared not give face to the Little Princess...
Many disciples had already begun mourning for Su Chen.
It's over.
Su Chen is definitely finished.
There's absolutely no chance of turning things around.
If not careful, after today's birthday banquet, the entire Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, all disciples and high-level officials, would target him alone, and from then on, his days might be worse than death?
"Is that so?" A trace of surprise and curiosity flashed in Zhao Lingxi's beautiful eyes.
In fact, there wasn't much anger.
With her status in the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, very few things could make her angry.
But in the eyes of others, it seemed like the Little Princess was angry!
Su Shuizhe nodded.
The goal had been achieved.
