One week passed in the blink of an eye.
Nothing of significance happened, and all Liu Man and Liu Feng did in the quarters that was assigned to them was meditate.
They were in a building that was a distance from the huge manor that they saw when they first entered the Moon Pavilion.
For some reason, all of the paths in this place seemed to lead away from the huge manor, and there were guards everywhere making sure that no one would go anywhere near this Moon Pavilion.
Just staying here gave Liu Feng a bad feeling. He felt like something suspicious was happening over there. He still could not understand why Min Wan was suddenly being married off.
Sure, this Moon Princess could be someone else, but he had a strong suspicion that it was the former. Whatever may be the case, he needed to find the right reason all of this was happening.
He cracked his fingers as he got up. The week had concluded, and soon enough, the main event was going to start anytime now. It was the selection of the Moon Princess.
There was a commotion outside his door, but Liu Feng and Liu Man decided not to go through the normal route. It would be better to directly go where everyone was heading.
They jumped out of the window, hovering over the lake that was behind this building as they looked at the line of people that was going towards another part of this scenic area.
Once again, this was not the huge manor. Whatever they were hiding in the manor, Liu Feng had to know before he left. It was just killing him to find out.
"We should go now. If this happens to be just a mistake on our part, then we can either focus on convincing the Moon Pavilion to help us out, or we should focus on another power. We can't just waste time here. A week already passed." Liu Man said.
"I wonder why you are so invested in this though. It is making me the king, is it not? How is that going to help you, apart from letting you enter the peak of the Soul Evolution stage, of course." Liu Feng asked as they both moved toward the venue.
"How will it not help me? If you become the king, then you will become the controller of the portal to the ancient realm. The portal can only be opened once twenty years because it is too expensive to open otherwise." Liu Man said.
"And the portal is already opening once before I become the king, and the fight is going to conclude within the Realm of Beginnings!" Liu Feng realized. He would have to open the portal again, and that would take resources that only the king could command.
At this point, they were ahead of everyone else, and they saw that once again, they were in front of another lake.
This time, the time of the day helped out.
It wasn't day, but night. And today, it was the day of the full moon.
"Well, looks like they were waiting for the full moon? Why would they do that? Is their martial art something related to the moon? Probably." Liu Feng guessed as he looked around.
There were large petals on the lake, and just one green leaf at the center of the lake. This was probably reserved for the Moon Princess.
"It looks like you have arrived here just a little early, Young Noble. I have heard from Elder Rong that you are quite the genius." a gentle voice said.
Every single woman that Liu Feng spoke to within the Moon Pavilion was so soft spoken, that it felt like a common trait that they forced onto the disciples.
That was when it struck Liu Feng once more.
The only men that he saw till now were from the different sects. The ones from Moon Pavilion were all women.
"Could it be, the Moon Pavilion is a sect like the Lush Green sect? An all-women sect?" Liu Feng wondered.
"Please take one of these petals. Anyone. I do think that many would want to take the petals closest to the Moon Princess, but I think that it is irrelevant." the gentle voice said.
"You must be the Pavilion master? You are the strongest that I have seen till now, and someone in the peak of the Soul Evolution stage can only be the strongest." Liu Feng asked.
"Young noble is indeed observant." the gentle voice all but confirmed it.
"Then I have a question. The Moon Princess. Did she join the Moon Pavilion a year and half ago?" Liu Feng asked.
"Any question that you have will be answered when the princess comes here, Young Noble. Please, do choose a spot, both of you." the Pavilion Master said.
"I have no intention of participating in whatever this is." Liu Man shook his head. He then flew up to the garden on the side and snapped his fingers. A chair appeared in front of him, which he sat on, calmly looking at Liu Feng.
With nothing else to do, Liu Feng shrugged and floated to one of the petals right next to the large leaf in the center.
The petal was large enough for Liu Feng to sit on, but if he actually did, he would fall.
And yet, the moment that Liu Feng's legs touched the petal, the water beneath suddenly froze, and Liu Feng just sat on the petal calmly, cross-legged, closing his eyes.
Slowly, after a few minutes, people started arriving, their noise disturbing Liu Feng.
He frowned as he turned around to look at the ones who were talking to each other with no regard to calmness.
But the moment that they saw the green leaf in the middle, and the petals around, with Liu Feng sitting on one of the petals, they understood exactly what had happened.
All of them suddenly started rushing toward the petals of the inner circle.
"I am the second prince! Who dares to take a petal that I choose?" a domineering voice froze everyone in their place.
