The owner of the pair of mesmerizing eyes was a beautiful young woman in white. She was around 170cm, and her body gave off a menacing air, like an unsheathed sword.
Facing her gaze, Yun Lintian smiled and nodded gently, showing his friendly side before turning away. With a glance, he could see that she was a top-tier sword practitioner.
Although the woman was beautiful, Yun Lintian didn't feel anything special. After all, he had seen so many beauties throughout his life.
"She's Jian Ziqi, a top talent from the Battle Sword Sect." Qin Mei said softly upon seeing this scene. "She is only fifty years old this year and has already reached the peak of the Divine Origin Realm. Even if she was placed in the upper realms, she would still be regarded as one of the best among the geniuses over there."
"Her physique is special." Yun Lintian said.
"Indeed. It's called the Sword Heart Physique." Qin Mei said approvingly. "Unfortunately, her Battle Sword Sect isn't strong enough. Otherwise, she should have already stepped into the higher realm."
"In fact, she is one of the candidates our Realm King pays attention to." Tian Hualing, who was disguised as Shen Yan's maidservant, said.
Shen Yan glanced at Jian Ziqi briefly and said. "She's not bad. A cold woman like the Heavenhold Realm King."
"One of the candidates? What about others, Senior?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.
"Wang Jiacai of the Blood Mountain Sect. He's here too. Also, there are a few from the Great Xia Dynasty. I believe you will see them later." Tian Hualing replied gently.
While everyone was talking, a middle-aged woman behind Jian Ziqi asked. "What's wrong, Ziqi?"
Jian Ziqi retracted her gaze and said. "Nothing."
Although she spoke this, Jian Ziqi had already noted Yun Lintian down in her heart. Her sharp intuition told her he was the most dangerous person in the upcoming competition.
The middle-aged woman glanced at Yun Lintian's group and was surprised. "That should be the young miss of the Mystic Auction House. I didn't expect her to come here."
In her opinion, this royal banquet was nothing but a small event to a lofty existence like Shen Yan. It was bizarre that she came here.
At the same time, the middle-aged woman looked at Yun Lintian strangely. Judging from his appearance, it seemed he possessed a high status among them… Who could he be?
A while later, Yun Lintian arrived at the entrance of the Emerald Palace and handed the golden invitation letter to a servant. When the servant saw this, he quickly brought Yun Lintian's group to a particular area prepared for distinguished guests.
When Yun Lintian's group walked into the palace under the servant's guidance, Chen Xue happened to look toward the entrance. Her entire body froze, and her eyes widened in shock when she saw Yun Lintian and Ning Yue.
On the side, Qin Weizhe noticed Chen Xue's strange reaction. He asked in doubt. "What's wrong with you?"
His question immediately attracted the attention of Qin Jun and the others.
Chen Xue pointed at Yun Lintian and said tremblingly. "He…"
Qin Weizhe followed Chen Xue's pointing direction, and his entire body immediately froze.
"H-How could he?" Huan Yuchun was no different.
Qin Jun frowned slightly as he stared at Yun Lintian. "Who are they?"
"He…" Qin Weizhe didn't know how to answer.
Meanwhile, Chen Lan seemed to recognize Ning Yue. She asked in doubt. "Was she a little girl all of you often bullied in the past?"
Chen Xue replied mechanically. "It's her."
Chen Lan frowned deeply. "What about the man?"
Huang Yuchun swallowed hard as he replied. "He was a cripple that little bitch picked up back then. How could he recover? This is impossible!"
Qin Jun and Chen Lan glanced at each other solemnly. They knew that their younger siblings had caused a disaster for them. No matter how they looked at Yun Lintian, he was far from being crippled, as Huang Yuchun said. The only possibility was that they were deceived by Yun Lintian.
"What's going on? Tell me in detail." An old man behind Qin Jun asked with a frown.
"This…" Huang Yuchun didn't know how to start. Once he spoke out, he would definitely get killed.
Qin Weizhe took a deep breath to calm down and explained everything about Yun Lintian and Ning Yue to the old man.
"Bastard! Do you know what kind of disaster you have just caused?" The old man was enraged instantly after listening to Qin Weizhe's narration.
"Calm down, First Elder. No matter how powerful he is, is it possible for him to go against us here?" Qin Jun said.
The old man, Qin Yuan, glared at Qin Jun and said coldly. "Why is it impossible? Do you know who are those people beside him?"
Qin Jun looked at Shen Yan and the others. "They have a powerful background?"
"More than powerful!" Qin Yuan was so angry that his body constantly trembled. "That young woman in a blue robe is the one and only daughter of the current Mystic God Emperor. Not to mention that senior behind her. He is the famous Senior Xu of the Mystic Auction House. Tell me. Do you think he has no ability to deal with us!?"
Qin Jun and the rest were shocked stupidly when they heard this. That was a God Emperor's descendant they were talking about! How could she appear here?
Thinking of what she did to Yun Lintian and Ning Yue in the past, Chen Xue's face turned even more ghastly pale. Her entire body kept trembling uncontrollably.
In fact, she had a chance to leave a good impression on Yun Lintian, yet she was stupid enough to poison him… What should she do now?
Huang Yuchun was no exception. He tried to kill Yun Lintian back then with a sinister method. Even if Yun Lintian was merciful enough, he didn't think Yun Lintian would let him go.
Meanwhile, Qin Weizhe was frozen in place. The scene where he bullied Ning Yue over the years came to his mind one after the other.
"W-What should we do now?" Qin Jun stammered. It was his first time to lose his composure like this.
"What else? If you don't want to die, go and give him a sincere apology." Qin Yuan said angrily. "I won't help you with this."
