The imperial guard cupped his fist in salute and then retreated.
As soon as he left, Yun Luo furrowed his brows, asking, âWhat does Crown Prince want to do this time?â
âItâs like this,â Yun Luofeng closed the invitation, âthis evening, Crown Prince will host a banquet beside Qin River. Basically, all the younger generation nobles of Long Yuan will attend. Thus, he sent an invitation! But in the past, there had been many of these banquets too, but he has never invited me. Now it looks like this Crown Prince wants to flaunt his affection for Mu Wushuang in front of me and humiliate me while he is at it.â
âYou and Crown Prince have already dissolved your engagement. Does he really need to do this?â
âGrandfather, did you forget? It is true that Crown Prince wanted to dissolve the engagement with me, but, in the end, this matter was proposed by our Yun household! In a way, this has changed the nature of thingsâmaking me be the one discarding Crown Prince! Even though everyone knows that Crown Princeâs heart belongs to Mu Wushuang, it will still make him feel embarrassed. He wants to make me realize that having lost him, I wonât find a better man anywhere else!â
A wicked smile spread on Yun Luofengâs face. âSince he wants to flaunt his affection, I will cater to his request. Whyever not?â
âFengâer, I donât recommend you going.â Yun Luoâs brows furrowed tighter. âAlthough you can cultivate now, your ability compared to the Crown Prince still has too great of a difference! Youâll be at a disadvantage by going like this!â
Yun Luofengâs pair of black eyes emitted a dazzling light, and her brash features revealed a confident radiance.
âDonât worry, I will never be taken advantage of.â
The ones at a disadvantage would always be others, and would not be her!
âDo you want Yun Xiao to accompany you?â Yun Luoâs heart still had some concern.
In his heart, those people were like ravenous wolves and feral leopards. How could his soft-skinned and tender-fleshed granddaughter withstand their bites?
âMaking Yun Xiao handle those people, isnât it just making a mountain out of a molehill?â Yun Luofeng raised her brows. âGoing by myself will be enough. Grandfather, I need to go make preparations for tonightâs banquet. Donât worry and wait for me at home.â
She patted Yun Luoâs shoulders, mysteriously smiled, and then leftâŠ

Qin riverbank.
The sound of zither lingered, its lingering sound went on for a long time.
Inside the lively, luxurious, and huge ship, many talented youths were loudly discussing verses, ditties, odes, songs, or complicated cultivation problems! And Gao Ling and Mu Wushuang, who were surrounded by these people, became the targets of their adulation.
âRight, Your Highness the Crown Prince, didnât you say that Yun Luofeng, that trash, will come too today? Why hasnât she appeared yet?â the son of the Minister of War, Guan Lin, suddenly asked.
The lively crowd abruptly quieted down. It was a long time before the conversation went louder than before.

âYour Highness the Crown Prince, why did you invite a trash like Yun Luofeng here? People like her are not qualified to socialize with us!â
âThatâs right, this Yun Luofeng was merely a trash before, but look at what she has recently done! First, she squandered away all of the General Estateâs money, and then she forced General Yun to recruit guards and maidservants for her! General Yun is already old in years, but he still has to do hard labor. Why doesnât a person like her just go die already?â
âShe is fundamentally devoid of any conscience and has no sense of gratitude! Your Highness the Crown Prince, in the past, you didnât turn your back on her lack of innate talent and were still willing to fulfill the engagement to marry her as your wife. Despite that, she still had the nerve to actually grab a pretty boy in public! How can the world have a shameless woman like this!â
Hearing these people belittle Yun Luofeng, Mu Wushuangâs heart filled a great delight. However, her face did not reveal any of it, and her appearance still bore an elegant and graceful smile.
âThis matter has nothing to do with Crown Prince. It was me who asked Crown Prince to invite her. Furthermore, the point of letting her come this time is very obvious. I will choose a husband for her amongst you to compensate for Crown Prince withdrawing from the engagement.â
