Ling Ya had already turned her face away, so no one else saw her and for a moment they didn't know what Bai Ying was talking about.

Just as they were about to ask Bai Ying who she was talking about, Wang Honghai and Ye Zhenyan arrived and saw them as well.

Now that they are all students at the Hailuo Military Academy, they naturally have to politely go over and greet Wang Honghai when they see him.

They had no choice but to temporarily abandon their plans to find Ling Luo and Ye Xingxue, and instead respectfully greeted Wang Honghai and Ye Zhenyan.

When they saw Ye Zhenyan and Wang Honghai arrive, Elder Bai and the others also came over to greet them.

Bai Ying and others: "..."

I should have left sooner.

Now, the chance to escape is gone.

Ye Zhenyan and Wang Honghai held extraordinary positions in the Lingliu Empire.

They arrived, and many people gathered around with their children.

at the same time.

On the other side.

Ye Xingxue had already done her styling and changed into her formal attire.

He came out of the room and went to find Ling Luo.

As he approached the dressing room, the girls on Ling Luo's makeup and hair team gasped when they saw him, staring at him blankly, speechless.

Ling Luo's hair and makeup were already done. Hearing the noise, she turned her head and looked towards the door.

She was stunned when she saw the snow falling at night.

Because the dress Ye Xingxue was wearing was basically the same type as the ones Ye Zhenyan and the others were wearing.

His tuxedo was predominantly black, adorned with tiered ornaments on both shoulders and chest, creating an opulent and exquisite effect.

The stand-up collar, swallowtail waist design, and sleek high boots perfectly showcase Ye Xingxue's slender and graceful figure.

Night Snow itself possesses a clean, aloof, and noble quality.

Wearing this dress amplifies the cool and noble feeling even further.

all in all.

Ling Luo thought he had become even more handsome.

So, as he walked toward her, she stared straight at him without blinking.

Ye Xingxue noticed her gaze, smiled, and reached out with her white-gloved hand to grasp Ling Luo's wrist.

He wanted to reach out and ruffle her hair, but Ling Luo had her hair and makeup done, so it wasn't appropriate to do that. Instead, he gently rubbed her little hand and kissed it: "Does Luo Luo like it?"

"!!!"

The girls on the makeup and hair team were stunned when they saw this, their hearts skipped a beat and their eyes widened in disbelief.

Waaah, with that extremely noble air and that unparalleled handsome face, doing such a thing—

Your Highness is going too far!

However, upon hearing Ye Xingxue's words, they didn't understand what she meant at all.

But Ling Luo knew.

She was still watching the snow falling at night.

Hearing his words, she nodded honestly: "I like it, it's very beautiful!"

Ye Xingxue smiled: "I'm glad Luo Luo likes it."

Upon seeing his smile, the makeup and hair team instantly forgot to breathe.

They knew that their empire's crown prince was handsome.

but……

He rarely smiles.

Especially that gentle smile.

They had basically never seen it.

Even if he had seen him, it was when he was facing Ling Luo.

But back then, they were separated by a screen...

Seeing it up close versus seeing it through a screen—the difference in the impact is simply incomparable!

Thinking of this, their hearts trembled.

but……

After overhearing their conversation, they felt that something was amiss.

Was the conversation between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Crown Princess reversed?

Shouldn't it be the Crown Princess asking His Highness if the design is beautiful and if he likes it?

Just then, Ye Xingxue gave them a look.

After realizing what had happened, the makeup and hair team quickly turned around and left.

They even thoughtfully closed the door for them.

At this moment, Ye Xingxue bent down, picked Ling Luo up from the chair, and sat down himself, while Ling Luo sat on his lap.

Then, his gaze was fixed on her, wanting to pull her into his arms, kiss her deeply, and then carry her back to bed—

Ye Xingxue's eyes flickered slightly.

However, Ling Luo had already applied her lip makeup.

The banquet was about to begin, so Ye Xingxue had to stop, resting his forehead against hers, and said in a low voice, "Luo Luo is so beautiful."

Ling Luo nodded: "Mm."

Ye Xingxue smiled, then suddenly seemed to remember something. He took out a brocade box from his storage bag, put it aside, and opened it. Inside was a sparkling diamond ring.

Ye Xingxue took out a women's ring with one hand and gently held Ling Luo's hand with the other. As she gently slipped the ring onto Ling Luo's ring finger, she looked at Ling Luo and said, "This is a ring I had made half a month ago. Does Luo Luo like it?"

Ling Luo nodded: "It looks pretty good."

Ye Xingxue smiled, took her small hand, and gently kissed the ring twice, saying tenderly, "Then Luoluo, can I wear it too?"

"oh……"

Ling Luo took out the remaining men's ring, sat in his lap, and held his hand with her small hands. Just as she was about to put it on, she paused.

Actually, she didn't know which finger to wear it on.

I'm not quite sure what wearing a ring means.

But seeing him slip the ring onto her ring finger, she slipped the ring onto his as well. Then, leaning against him, she looked up and asked, "Want a kiss too?"

Ye Xingxue shook her head and laughed, "No need, I'll just kiss Luo Luo."

"oh."

"From now on, Luo Luo must wear this ring every day, understand?"

Do you wear it every day?

"Yes, I will wear it every day."

"good."

Speaking of this, Ye Xingxue looked at her and held her small hand: "Luo Luo, let's find some time later to have a wedding ceremony, okay?"

Ling Luo paused for a moment: "But organizing a wedding is such a hassle."

It was quite troublesome for her junior uncle and his wife in the cultivation world to hold their wedding banquet.

She looks tired.

At this point, the steward came upstairs and knocked on the door: "Your Highness, His Majesty has sent someone to say that they are preparing to depart."

Ye Xingxue paused, then replied, "Okay."

After the butler finished speaking, he left.

Ye Xingxue picked up Ling Luo, stood up, and then gently put her down and sat her in a chair.

Ling Luo found the high heels uncomfortable and had been walking barefoot on the soft carpet.

Ye Xingxue picked up the white high heels from the side, knelt down on one knee, helped her put on the shoes, then stood up, pulled her to her feet, took her little hand, pushed open the door, and continued the conversation they hadn't finished while going downstairs: "It's no trouble, Luo Luo, don't worry about it, I'll handle it."

"oh……"

Ye Xingxue paused and smiled, "So Luo Luo has agreed?"

"Um."

She felt that things were fine as they were, and that there was no need to hold a wedding ceremony.

But he seems to care quite a bit.

Since he likes it, let's go ahead with it.

The palace is very large.

The banquet hall is quite far from Ye Xingxue's Prince Villa.

They need to take a flying vehicle to meet up with Ye Feng and Ye Xingyu, and then the four of them will enter the venue together.

When they arrived at the place where they were to meet Ye Feng and the others, Ye Feng and Ye Xingyu had just arrived as well.

Seeing them, Ye Feng sized them up and asked Ling Luo, "Are you nervous?"

Ling Luo shook her head: "I'm not nervous."

Night Breeze laughed: "Because there's nothing to be nervous about?"

Ling Luo nodded: "Mm."

Ye Feng's smile deepened. He glanced at Ye Xingxue but said nothing more, only saying, "Let's go, it's about time we went in."

at the same time.

In the banquet hall, melodious singing filled the air, and conversations were constant.

A year ago, Ling Luo's entry into the Hailuo Military Academy became a nationwide sensation.

Netizens at the time also saw photos of Ling Ya and Zhou Gan.

However, everyone's attention remained focused on Ling Luo.

Now a year has passed.

Everyone has long forgotten what Ling Ya and Zhou Gan look like.

Therefore, when Ling Ya appeared in the banquet hall, apart from Bai Ying and others who were close to Ling Luo, no one recognized her.

The Ling family members weren't stupid either. They had been in the banquet hall for a while, and although their minds were filled with many thoughts, they refrained from taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with anyone.

The Ling family members didn't seem to be any particularly powerful figures.

Even if people who don't know them see them, they won't take the initiative to come over and chat with them.

Therefore, although the Ling family had been there for a short time, nothing happened in between.

but.

Ling Ya is quite pretty.

Except for Loy.

Among the noble ladies, she was not much less beautiful.

In addition, she had a decent demeanor. About twenty minutes after she arrived at the banquet hall, several young noblemen came up to her to chat and ask for her contact information.

Ling Ya gently shook her head and refused, saying, "I have a fiancé, and he doesn't want me to have too much contact with other men."

Because of her behavior, those young noblemen all thought she loved her fiancé very much.

If someone doesn't bother you, give up immediately.

Someone's desire to conquer was aroused: "Where's your fiancée? Didn't he come?"

Ling Ya shook her head: "No."

The young nobleman laughed: "What? Is he not qualified to participate?"

Ling Ya pursed her lips and said coldly, "Whether I'm qualified to participate or not is none of your business. Aren't you being a bit too nosy?!"

In that young nobleman's mind, anyone who could attend this banquet must be of extraordinary status.

Although Ling Ya's words annoyed him, he didn't say anything, but instead smiled and said, "I was just asking casually, don't be angry."

Ling Ya didn't speak to him again.

The young nobleman had to leave on business, but before he left, he said, "When the ball starts in a bit, I'll invite you to dance."

With that, they left reluctantly.

Seeing this, Grandpa Ling and Ling Guanghua were in high spirits.

She was also proud that so many young noblemen liked Lingya, and her back straightened up a bit.

Whether it's giving up immediately or relentlessly pursuing Lingya.

Without exception, they all had a good impression of Ling Ya.

In this way, even if others find out later that they are the Crown Princess's family and know about Ling Ya and Zhou Gan, they will still think that she and Zhou Gan grew up together and had a deep relationship, which is why they are together.

Once they've firmly established themselves in this circle, they can delay Ling Ya and Zhou Gan's marriage a bit longer, so that Ling Ya's reputation won't be affected.

It now appears that their plan has already succeeded in part.

Ling Ya hadn't expected the results to be so good.

He felt a little smug.

I also became more confident.

Suddenly, she realized that she wasn't much different from the other noble ladies present.

In fact, her qualifications are better than many others.

only……

When her gaze fell on Bai Ying and the others, the smile on her face faded slightly.

Those suitors of hers just now seemed to be quite eligible.

But regardless of martial arts skills, aptitude, family background, or appearance, none of them could compare to Bai Ying and his group.

Thinking of this, she clenched her little hands.

Just then.

Suddenly, many people in the crowd fell silent.

Because Ling Luo and the others had all arrived.

Upon receiving the message, everyone immediately fell silent and made way for Ye Feng and his group to pass through, with the entrance to the banquet hall as the center.

When Ye Feng and Ye Xingxue arrived, everyone bowed and greeted them in unison.

The Ling family wasn't far from Ye Feng and his group.

But their view was blocked, and everyone was bowing their heads in greeting, so they didn't see anything, only knowing that their King of the Lingliu Empire had arrived.

Ling Luo...

They should be here by now.

But Ling Luo is not the main point.

The thought that they would one day actually have the opportunity to be so close to the most noble person in their empire felt like a dream.

Therefore, their hearts pounded wildly.

Ling Luo, Ye Xingxue, and Ye Xingyu followed Ye Feng, passing through the crowd and walking up the magnificent platform. Only then did Ye Feng speak, "Everyone, please don't stand on ceremony, just make yourselves at home."

Hearing Ye Feng's words, everyone looked up.

As soon as everyone looked up, they saw Ye Feng, Ye Xingxue, Ling Luo, and Ye Xingyu in the center of the platform.

Standing in front of the platform were Bai Ying, Luo Yi, Ye Zhenyan, Elder Luo, and others.

When Elder Luo looked up and saw Ling Luo, he paused for a moment, then looked away.

Luo Yi was taken aback when she saw Ling Luo.

She knew Ling Luo was very beautiful.

But she noticed that Ling Luo, who was dressed up so carefully today, was even more beautiful than she had ever seen before.

She stood next to Ye Xingxue, and they looked very well-matched.

Ling Luo noticed her gaze and nodded silently.

Luo Yi paused for a moment, then nodded.

Old Master Luo frowned slightly upon seeing this, but said nothing.

Wang Honghai and Ye Zhenyan were very satisfied with Ling Luo.

There were over a thousand people attending the banquet.

They felt that Ling Luo was not intimidated at all in front of so many important figures of the empire, which was worthy of someone who dared to use extraordinary means to actively provoke alien beasts to hunt him down at such a young age.

Very good.

The Ling family is currently located quite far from Ling Luo and the others.

Even if Ling Luo and the others were standing at a high place, they still couldn't see Ling Luo and the others clearly.

At this moment, Ye Feng had finished his speech, and the officer standing behind them brought up a glass of red wine.

Ye Feng raised his glass, and Ling Luo followed Ye Xingxue and Ye Xingyu, raising their glasses as well.

After taking a sip of red wine and paying his respects to all the guests, Ye Feng announced the official start of the banquet.

Upbeat music immediately filled the air, and the atmosphere became lively once again.
