Sorry, master, my junior sister has surrendered to the enemy!

Chapter 232: The Eve of the Conference (2)

"Okay, it's just a little joke, why take it seriously?"

The Seventh Prince smiled slightly, his eyes curved into a beautiful arc, and he looked at Chu Yu vaguely.

Chu Yu glanced at him and sat back in his seat.

The Seventh Prince's group immediately showed a nonchalant expression. The Eighth Princess wanted to take the opportunity to save face, but was glared back by the Seventh Prince.

She had no choice but to give up.

Yue Ling looked at Chu Yu with some worry. Could it be that she was bewitched by her seventh brother?

Chu Yu remained calm and gently pulled her sleeve, which made Yue Ling relax.

Yuyu, is this...trying to play the pig and eat the tiger?

The emperor had indeed taken a new look at the woman that Yue Ling brought back, but now, seeing her reaction to the Seventh Brother, he withdrew his gaze without changing his expression.

The scene suddenly became quiet again, and everyone was waiting quietly.

Chu Yu looked at the emperor curiously again.

He is not one of the two medical immortals, but just a descendant of the royal family.

This is normal. Many real bosses of aristocratic and royal families are practicing behind the scenes, and they are really too busy to manage the various affairs of the family and the country.

Those old monsters behind the scenes of each family are the real decision-makers of the royal family. They all stand at the pinnacle of power by virtue of their strength.

Moreover, one of the main reasons for the decline of aristocratic royal families is blood inheritance. There are very few people with excellent bloodlines, and only one will appear after hundreds or thousands of years, so they will try their best to give birth and marry someone with the same bloodline and good family background, intending to use quantity to bet on the probability of winning.

After all, his ancestors were very glorious, and that doesn't mean they are not glorious now. Plus, his bloodline is famously good, so it's no surprise that he's obsessed with inheritance.

But those with impure bloodlines will be stuck at that limit for their entire lives. Those two medical immortals had to endure through countless generations before they waited for a holy body with pure blood like Yue Ling and the Seventh Prince.

These royal families are basically in this situation. They are of the same bloodline, which results in a source of geniuses that is completely incomparable to that of the sects. Some smart ones have even united with the noble families within the country to broaden the ways of cultivation, recruit talented practitioners, and work together to practice the unique skills of the royal family.

Chu Yu looked around and thought that the medical practitioners should be one of the more popular ones, and they were also affiliated with Zhaolan Temple.

There was still a quarter of an hour before the meal started. Everyone was discussing something in low voices, and people started to take their seats one after another.

The prince sitting below the seventh prince caught Chu Yu's attention, not for any other reason, but because he was accompanied by a physical cultivator. The physical cultivator was over two meters tall, and even when sitting down, he was like a small mountain, really eye-catching.

"That's my third brother, who is the biological brother of my fourth sister and is born of the same mother."

Chu Yu nodded.

What's the big deal about this scene? Being able to win over masters from various factions is also a plus point in the eyes of the emperor?

That......

Chu Yu glanced at Yue An. There was nothing in her shadow. The master obviously did not appear. This person must be the powerful weapon that Yue An had prepared in advance.

Even without the company of an expert, she was able to hold the position below Yue Ling and become a favorite to be the successor. She must have some abilities.

However, even if Yue Ling did not take action against her, could she guarantee that the Seventh Prince's faction would not target her? She still felt as secure as ever.

Or could the burly physical trainer beside the Third Prince protect both of them and their siblings at the same time?

Chu Yu was wary of the physical cultivator.

Yue An noticed that someone was looking at her, she turned her head and smiled at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu smiled back at her politely, his gaze lingering on the ring on Yue An's hand for two seconds. On the surface, the ring looked nothing special, just like an ordinary piece of jewelry, but there was a very subtle aura on it.

The same scent as the ink on the bamboo slips.

Chu Yu's physique destined her to be extremely sensitive to various power attributes, and she had perception that exceeded that of her peers.

It turns out that the shadow monster is hiding here. With such caution, even the two monks above would find it difficult to detect it, right?

Chu Yu's eyes lingered on this small detail on the ring, and Yue An naturally did not let it go. She smiled and stretched out her hand to show the ring on her hand: "Do you like this, girl?"

Before Chu Yu could respond, the Third Prince suddenly interrupted, "The people around Ninth Sister are so abrupt. She didn't wear jewelry or hairpins when attending the palace banquet, but instead fell in love with someone else's. On the surface, she pretends to be aloof and noble, but inwardly she is nothing more than a country woman who has never seen the world."

This again caused a burst of laughter.

"Why do you say that, Third Brother?" The Fourth Princess immediately came to mediate. She smiled and said, "Ninth Sister just returned from traveling. It is inevitable that her expenses are too high. Money is tight, so it is inevitable that she is stingy with the people around her. Besides, the two of them seem to be people with feelings and righteousness. They will definitely not be shaken by things outside of their body such as gold and silver."

"That's right," the Third Prince immediately followed up, "Fourth sister is really generous. She never uses her share of the money for fake things like us. She donates it all to charity and disaster relief. She also never uses friendship to bind others. You are the one who truly cares about the people."

As soon as the Third Prince finished speaking, except for the people from the Fourth Princess's faction, everyone else looked unhappy. He was scolding most of the people.

"No way, Third Brother has exaggerated a lot. I just haven't been able to recruit the right person yet."

The Third Prince smiled disdainfully and said to Chu Yu: "Hey, girl, since the Ninth Sister is so stingy with you, why bother with her? It's better to follow the Fourth Princess. She will never treat you badly."

It seems like poaching in person, but in fact it is a humiliation.

The Queen remained calm and was thinking of giving Yue Ling a set of jewellery as a gift, but Chu Yu suddenly stood up.

"Is what the Third Prince said true? Is the Fourth Princess really so generous?"

The Third Prince was stunned by Chu Yu's reaction. Could this girl really be greedy for money? I heard that some cultivators fought for resources and got hurt. Now it seems to be true.

"Of course." He snorted softly.

Chu Yu suddenly turned around and said to Yue An: "Since the princess is so generous, I like the ring on your hand, why don't you give it to me?"

She was very direct in what she wanted, without any tactfulness, with a faint smile on her face, as if she just wanted the ring.

The third prince was also shocked by this seemingly extremely shameless behavior. He seemed to have never seen such a way before, where one could shamelessly ask for things after being humiliated.

After being stunned for a moment, he burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, I told you, she is indeed a person who has never seen the world. Fourth sister, just give her the things as rewards, just like sending away a beggar."

He laughed for a long time and didn't notice that Yue An's expression gradually darkened.

Yue An stared at Chu Yu. She was not sure whether the woman had seen anything.

Helian Chongguang is the trump card, and now is not the time to expose him, and his identity does not allow him to expose him now.

"Miss, this is something my mother gave me. It has a special meaning. I will send you ten boxes of jewels that are better than this. Please forgive me for not giving this away."

Yue An found an impeccable reason to refuse.

This time it was the turn of the Fourth Princess' group to be quiet.

A cold female voice came from above, interrupting the silence: "Ah, what a pity, I saw that the Third Prince was so confident, I really thought that the Fourth Princess was generous."

Chu Yu stretched out his body, a lazy smile appeared in his eyes, and he sat down casually:

"The princess can't even exchange ten boxes of jewels for that ring. You say it's just an ordinary thing, but in my opinion, that ring is the most precious thing on the princess."

If Yue An still didn't understand after hearing this, it would be a waste of her reputation. Even the monks around His Majesty didn't see the secret of the ring, but this woman actually saw it.

She looked worried. The Third Prince opposite her didn't know why her Fourth Sister suddenly lost her energy. It felt as if the offense and defense suddenly changed in just two breaths.

Didn’t they just mock the Ninth Princess and the strange woman beside her?

Chu Yu moved his butt in full view of everyone, leaning closer to Yue Ling, and leaned over to her ear, seemingly whispering something, but actually speaking in a voice that everyone could hear:

"She's not as generous as you. I think I see through her."

Even Yue Ling was amused by Chu Yu's reaction and was shaking with laughter.

The third prince was of an impatient character. When she saw her sister being humiliated in that way, she was naturally furious. She ordered the physical cultivator who was as strong as a mountain behind her to come up and teach Chu Yu a lesson.

Hiss, Chu Yu seemed to understand why the men's seats and the women's seats were so far apart. Could it be that such a wide aisle in the middle was a fighting arena?

The people in charge didn't seem to want to stop them, and seemed to be just waiting for the princes and princesses below to start fighting.

The physical trainer was like a fighting bull kicking its hind legs, and his breathing could be heard from a long distance away.

Chu Yu was also staring at him. The meridians in his hands were faintly glowing, and white mysterious light could be seen flowing between the meridians. This was the combined effect of the second level "Tendon Refining" and the third level "Blood Refining" of the "Xuanling Bone Tempering Order".

Just as everyone was holding their breath, a eunuch suddenly spoke in a sharp voice:

"The time has come~~"

The emperor raised his hand and stopped the chaos that was about to happen. After such a long time, he finally spoke:

"The time has come, silence."

"Since all the princes and princesses and the masters they have recruited are here, I will not waste any more words and will directly explain the purpose of today's banquet."

"Today, we are here to welcome the Ninth Princess back home, and secondly, to clarify all matters concerning this year's Medicine Search Conference."

"This medicine-hunting conference is different from the past. According to the intentions of Elder Chun Shanyao and Medical Immortal Ji Xiu, they, together with the masters of Zhaolan Temple, have slightly increased the difficulty of the medicine-hunting conference."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

Old Chun Shanyao and the Medical Immortal Ji Xiu, two old monsters asked questions at the same time, and they also joined forces with the masters of Zhaolan Temple?

Is this drug-hunting conference something that anyone can participate in? Is it just a little more difficult?

"That is why I asked you to find powerful helpers in advance. After all, according to the information I have received so far, if you attend the Medicine Search Conference alone, you will definitely be overwhelmed. After all, there will be unpredictable dangers. I don't know what the specific dangers are."

"Next, I'll tell you some things about the medicine-hunting conference."

The emperor signaled to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch came forward with a booklet in his hand, ready to explain.

"Wait a minute," a cold female voice suddenly interrupted from below, and everyone was stunned.

Chu Yu didn't hide anything and stood up directly.

"What's the matter, young lady?" the queen asked before the emperor could speak.

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean to interrupt you. It's just that not everyone is here yet, so it's unfair for us to just leave the meeting as it is."

Someone below immediately expressed dissatisfaction: "Everyone is here, and you are asking who is missing. Are you looking for trouble?"

Chu Yu didn't care what those people said, he just looked at the fourth princess:

"Fourth Princess, let the expert you called show up."

As soon as he finished speaking, even the two monks behind the emperor were stunned.

Yue An looked unhappy, pretending to be calm and said, "What are you talking about, young lady? I just said that I didn't find a suitable expert. Are you trying to take this opportunity to avenge the humiliation you just received?"

Chu Yu didn't waste time talking to her and rushed towards Yue An at a speed that no one could see.

Before Yue An could even scream, the ring in her hand was snatched away by Chu Yu.

The Third Prince just reacted and was about to call for help from his physical trainer when he saw a little wolf suddenly appear behind Chu Yu. The little wolf had dark fur and bright yellow pupils that looked very noble and oppressive.

Chu Yu threw the ring casually, and it was swallowed by the little wolf!

The ring suddenly flashed a strange light, and a dark shadow rushed out from it and hid under the shadow of the fourth princess.

Without saying a word, Chu Yu drew out the Chekong Sword and stabbed at the shadow. The opponent was a master, so she did not dare to take it lightly.

Yue An screamed in fear. Finally, Helian Chongguang emerged from the shadows, his face full of hostility and veins popping out on his head. He caught Chu Yu's Chekong Sword with a scimitar.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden appearance of such a powerful person.
