His eyes sparkled, like melting ice and snow, revealing glimmers of starlight.
The main hall was originally heavy and dark, but at this moment, the sunlight outside sneaked in through the door and shone on Mu Fusheng's back, radiating brilliant light.
Jiu Bailu looked at Mu Fusheng at the entrance of the main hall, his radiant figure was reflected in her eyes, which seemed to melt away the ice.
Looking into that gaze, everyone could sense the obvious change in Jiu Bailu's emotions.
Before this man arrived, Jiu Bailu was like an iceberg that would never melt, exuding a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay.
Now, the iceberg has completely melted away, revealing its softest, most vibrant spring within.
Seeing this, Jiu Xuan curled his lip and muttered, "He said before that he was only interested in Brother Mu, but now it's turned into this."
It seems that the saying was true.
When a woman becomes interested in a man, that's the beginning of her getting deeply involved.
After a brief moment of surprise, Ji Yang quickly guessed Mu Fusheng's identity.
He is the male protagonist who is rumored to be very close to Jiu Bailu.
A burning jealousy welled up inside her.
Although he didn't have any real feelings for Jiu Bailu, he only felt a liking for her because of her special physique and her appearance, which was known as the most beautiful woman in the Chaos Realm.
However, the Seven Treasures Holy Sect has now formally proposed a marriage alliance with the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty.
The arrogant Ji Yang naturally assumed that Jiu Bailu was already his woman.
This possessiveness made him very unhappy when he saw Jiu Bailu display completely different emotions when facing him and when facing this man.
Extremely annoyed!
Someone like Ji Yang, who is used to being high and mighty, won't suppress his emotions when he's unhappy; he'll just say what he wants.
" Jiu Bailu is here, but she can't just leave with a random man right now." As he spoke, Ji Yang stood up, his cold gaze meeting Mu Fusheng's.
Declaring sovereignty.
Mu Fusheng glanced at Ji Yang once, then turned his gaze back to Jiu Bailu.
Their eyes met.
The Jiu Bailu smiled.
Mu Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.
"Given your personality, I didn't think you'd come this early," Jiu Bailu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this Mu Fusheng retorted, "Are you so sure I'll come? Based on your understanding of me, you shouldn't be getting involved in this mess, right?"
"It's precisely because I know you that I was certain you would come." Jiu Bailu looked at Mu Fusheng with a teasing expression.
This is like saying, "I know you love me."
Mu Fusheng flushed red, and to hide his embarrassment, he snorted coldly, "You're still so self-righteous."
"But I guessed right, didn't I?" Jiu Bailu laughed.
Even Jiu Xuan, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand their flirting anymore. He nudged Jiu Bailu's arm and said, "I say, Royal Sister, you two should consider the occasion before you start your lovey-dovey talk. The atmosphere here doesn't seem suitable for you to do this. Isn't it a bit too exciting?"
The other ministers exchanged bewildered glances. This... was far too audacious!
So they just completely ignored the Holy Son of the Seven Treasures Holy Sect?
As expected, Ji Yang's expression gradually turned gloomy.
Not only did they ignore his existence, but they also flirted with him, their "fiancé." This showed not only that they didn't respect him, but also that they didn't respect the Seven Treasures Holy Sect!
The Nine Dragons Sovereign felt a slight tightening in his heart upon witnessing this scene.
He was aware of Mu Fusheng's existence and also understood that his relationship with Jiu Bailu was not shallow.
Based on the previous investigation and the scene of Mu Fusheng's intervention during the academy selection, it is clear that this boy's talent and strength are extraordinary.
However, the Seven Treasures Holy Sect is, after all, a top sect in the Cangxuan Continent, and its actions are not the same as the previous minor skirmishes.
Can he withstand the pressure from the Seven Treasures Holy Sect?
Just then...
Ji Yang's somber voice rang out, "You should be aware that the Seven Treasures Holy Sect is going to form a marriage alliance with the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty, right?"
Mu Fusheng then turned his gaze to Ji Yang, nodded, and said, "I know, but it seems that Jiu Bailu has not agreed."
"Does it matter whether you agree or not?" Ji Yang scoffed. "Although using power to intimidate people is not good, it is sometimes very convenient."
"You should also know how firm the Seven Treasures Holy Sect is on this matter, right? If they refuse, I'm afraid the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty will cease to exist."
A blatant threat.
The Nine Dragons Sovereign's face darkened, and Jiu Xuan's eyes were filled with rage.
The other ministers, however, looked terrified.
Ji Yang nodded in satisfaction at everyone's expressions, then continued, "Even putting aside power, do you think you and I are comparable? In terms of talent and strength, I should be far superior to you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Fusheng nodded seriously, "That's indeed the case..."
However, Mu Fusheng's tone immediately changed at this point, "If it were before, I would indeed have said that, and shown weakness to others. But this time, I don't want to do that."
Hearing this, Xiao Hei couldn't help but grin.
This kid's finally figured it out!
The Jiu Bailu also smiled broadly.
Under everyone's gaze, Mu Fusheng stepped forward and walked to Jiu Bailu's side, saying, "If she wants a marriage alliance, then so be it. But if she doesn't, then you have no reason to force her."
"No reason? Strength is the reason!"
Mu Fusheng looked at Ji Yang and said seriously, "Since you're talking about strength, if I defeat you, does that mean you're no longer worthy of forcing Jiu Bailu?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yang laughed, "Are you serious?"
"Certainly."
Jiu Xuan reminded him from the side, " Brother Mu, he's third on the Cangxuan Ranking; he's very powerful."
Mu Fusheng countered, "Do you think I wouldn't have investigated these matters thoroughly before coming here?"
Too.
Jiu Xuan shrugged, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
He knew that Mu Fusheng would never fight a war he wasn't confident of winning, and that he would only fight when he was absolutely certain of victory.
Since Mu Fusheng has already learned about this and has taken the initiative to declare that he wants to fight, it means that he has absolute confidence in defeating Ji Yang!
Ji Yang suddenly let out a sinister laugh, "Originally, I didn't need to bother fighting you, after all, our backgrounds and power are worlds apart. However, defeating you and making Jiu Bailu agree to marry me in peace is not a bad idea."
But at that moment, Jiu Bailu took Mu Fusheng's hand and said, "Don't make too much noise, it wouldn't be good if you got hurt."
Mu Fusheng nodded.
Ji Yang laughed too, "You see, even Her Highness the Princess knows you're no match for me, and she's afraid you'll get hurt."
Jiu Bailu looked at Ji Yang with a strange expression and said, "What are you talking about? I'm worried that if you get seriously injured, the Seven Treasures Holy Sect will come to avenge you, which would be troublesome."
