Li Lian’er looked at Shen Ao and felt a myriad of emotions, such as helplessness and disappointment.

She mumbled, “I shouldn’t feel wrong…”

Supremacy Zi Yang felt something was not right too. He asked, “What’s the matter?”

Li Lian’er complained, “Uncle-Master, you have the wrong person. He is not my Brother Shen.”

Supremacy Zi Yang froze for a moment, and then his face turned red with anger. His entire body was shivering with rage.

“Have I treated you poorly? How dare you lie to me!”

His master’s sudden rage dumbfounded Shen Ao.

Master, when did I lie to you? You were the one who said Fairy Lian’er insisted on marrying me. I’m willing to take up that responsibility, so why am I blamed?

Shen Ao said pitifully, “Master, I don’t get it.”

Supremacy Zi Yang barked, “Still trying to deny? Why did you claim that you are Master Celestial Aotian!”

What? I claimed that I’m Master Celestial?

Shen Ao was the Country of Fire’s once-in-a-century genius, so his IQ was high too. He understood what was happening immediately.

Master Celestial seems to be an item with Fairy Lian’er… and my name is very similar to Master Celestial… That’s where my master made a mistake… Sss!

Shen Ao felt a chill running down his spine.

Damn! Here I thought my master is finally showing his appreciation for me. I’m this close to entering Grand White Grotto-Heaven and on my way to become a Heavenly Venerable. Why did this happen to me? I feel that I have a bleak future instead…

Wait! Isn’t it Supremacy Zi Yang’s fault, to begin with!?

Supremacy Zi Yang was not there to reason with people. He had been embarrassed in front of so many people in the Weiyang Palace today because of his disciple.

Even Shen Ao knew that he would have a hard time under him if he did not carefully settle this problem. He could even be expelled from the grotto-heaven!

God! What have I done wrong?

Suddenly, he recalled something, turned around, and looked at his thirteenth brother with hatred.

What should I do now?

Shen Ao started to panic with sweat.

That’s right, I cannot put the blame on my master now, or else my future will be ruined!

Thus, Shen Ao quickly said, “It’s all my fault! I suffered a Qi Deviation recently and don’t remember what happened in the last two days. I was overjoyed when I heard what Master said just now about Senior Sister Lian’er. It’s my fault for not clarifying what happened, misleading Master.

“I’m willing to take on punishment! Please forgive me, Master. I’ll train harder in the future and never let such a thing happen again!”

Shen Ao had successfully put the blame on himself.

Supremacy Zi Yang finally felt better and looked at Shen Ao in satisfaction.

“Sigh, it’s okay. You are my disciple. I’m a reasonable man, so I’ll not dwell on that further. However, you will still be punished. You will go to Grand White Grotto-Heaven alone from the Country of Fire. Hope that the harsh journey will make you less careless in the future.”

Then, Supremacy Zi Yang scanned around the rest of the guests with a stern face.

All the guests who were secretly laughing just now quickly became very nervous.

Zi Yang walked up to Lian’er and said, “I think something is not right.”

He took out his Sword Supreme Token and said, “According to the location, it shouldn’t be wrong!”

Li Lian’er nodded too. “I felt my Jade Water Sword too.”

Supremacy Zi Yang said calmly, “Seems like Master Celestial Aotian is among them.”

Supremacy Zi Yang took a deep breath and transmitted an immense surge of Dharmic power into the Sword Supreme Token.

Li Lian’er closed her eyes and tried to feel for her sword too.

Suddenly, a bright glow of golden light came from the Sword Supreme Token in Supremacy Zi Yang’s hand.

Clang!

A sword flew out on the other side of the hall.

A crystal jade long sword appeared in the air.

At the same time, a silver token flew out too.

Supremacy Zi Yang and Li Lian’er looked in the direction of these items. They saw a man with his head lowered and face covered in his arm.

Li Lian’er’s eyes lit up upon seeing that familiar outline.

“It’s him! It’s him! Brother Shen! Lian’er is here!”

Shen Tian was at a loss for words. She had recognized him even though he had covered his face. He sprang up and looked at Li Lian’er, who was running toward him.

Shen Tian started to question life. Of course, he was not the only one who had this doubt. All the royals and nobles in the bouquet were shocked by what was happening.

What? The token and the sword were with the 13th Prince?

So the 13th Prince, Shen Tian, is the one they want?

So the legendary Master Celestial Shen Aotian is not Shen Ao, but Shen Tian? That unlucky prince?

He was known to be the most unlucky man in the Country of Fire—no one had ever surpassed him in this area for the past ten centuries!

That fact aside, why did that Supremacy want him? Supremacy Zi Yang was the Immortal Senior from Grand White Grotto-Heaven!

Although they did not know Li Lian’er, based on how Zi Yang talked to her, she must be someone important in the grotto-heaven too!

And here she was, with a flower pot on her head just to meet her lover? That genius prince, on the other side, could not even enjoy this!

Shen Ao felt very jealous!

Everyone’s attention was on Shen Tian now—their faces were written with shock, envy, and confusion.

Shen Tian felt all the evil stares from the guests as Li Lian’er was just an arm away.

He had no choice. He extended out his hand, and it landed right on Li Lian’er’s forehead. She could not go further and was forced to stop.

Li Lian’er was looking at Shen Tian with firmness in her eyes.

Shen Tian was sure that she had recognized him.

Seems like my disguise skill is not as good as I thought…

Shen Tian’s identity was exposed now, so he was very helpless.

Help!
