On the other side, a group of young ladies also gathered together, sobbing softly: "I never thought that a man as elegant and upright as Prince Xiao would have such unspeakable difficulties!"
"Yes! I thought he was as handsome and elegant as a slender orchid, and would definitely have many children and grandchildren, but who would have thought that he couldn't continue the incense! I used to envy and envy Luo Lingyue, but now it seems that she is the most pitiful person!"
"But in my opinion, even if Prince Xiao cannot have children, his peerless beauty alone is enough to make people happy!" someone interrupted.
At this moment, two elegant ladies strolled over from another table. The one, splendidly dressed and graceful, spoke with a faint smile, "Only innocent young ladies like you, who have never experienced the world, can speak so innocently. If a man suffers from kidney deficiency, he will inevitably be unable to perform the Zhougong ritual. If a woman marries such a man, wouldn't it be the same as marrying a eunuch?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the young ladies present were all shocked and at a loss for words. How could this...Prince Xiao be compared to a eunuch?
It’s so tragic! This Prince Xiao is so pitiful!
......
The general's carriage was moving slowly along the bumpy mountain path. Xiao Jinghan kept sneezing inside the carriage. Seeing this, Luo Lingfeng, who was sitting next to him, quickly put his finger on his pulse.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a long while, Luo Lingfeng finally spoke: "Jing Han! You...you seem a little weak!"
At this moment, Luo Lingyue, who was leisurely drinking tea, suddenly choked on her own saliva and began to cough non-stop...
Could it be that... Xiao Jinghan is really a little weak?
Xiao Jinghan rolled his eyes, completely disregarding his own image, under the strange gazes of the two siblings. Along the way, the three of them each had their own thoughts, and no one spoke a word!
Finally, around noon, the carriage arrived at Floating Cloud City. As the largest city between Shangjing City and the Jiangnan region, Floating Cloud City was incredibly prosperous. It was not only a vital hub for commerce and trade, but also a gathering place for martial artists.
In Liuyun City, there lives a man named Mu Nantian. He is the leader of the martial arts world of Dazhao Nation, and the Holy Sword Sect he founded is a leader in the entire martial arts world! The Holy Sword Sect is renowned far and wide, with numerous disciples, attracting countless visitors every year. Some come to learn martial arts from the Holy Sword Sect, while others come to compete with other masters and learn from each other!
The general's carriage slowly pulled into the bustling city. Luo Lingyue, following closely beside her brother Luo Lingfeng, gracefully jumped off. She looked around, her gaze drawn to the chivalrous warriors pacing the streets, their weapons slung across their shoulders.
Luo Lingyue was filled with curiosity and couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many people from the Jianghu here?"
Xiao Jinghan, who was following behind her, smiled slightly and replied calmly, "This place is a holy place for martial arts masters to compete! The leader of the Holy Sword Sect is the world-renowned martial arts leader Mu Nantian!"
Luo Lingyue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Mu Nantian from the Holy Sword Sect? Is his swordsmanship truly unrivaled?"
Xiao Jinghan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Although I dare not assert that no one can win, but as of now, no one has been able to defeat him!"
Luo Lingyue blinked her bright eyes, then suddenly turned around and asked Xiao Jinghan curiously, "So... between him and Blood Shadow, whose swordsmanship is more powerful?"
Xiao Jinghan's brows twitched slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Blood Shadow? How do you know this person?"
Luo Lingyue scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly and told the truth: "I heard it from Dark Moon Fairy. She praised Blood Shadow's swordsmanship as the best in the world!"
Xiao Jinghan pursed his lips, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "I'm not particularly familiar with the people in the martial arts world! But... Miss Luo is very familiar with that Dark Moon Fairy?" His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of inquiry.
Hearing this, Luo Lingyue chuckled and replied in a relaxed tone: "Oh, she and I are just ordinary friends! There is nothing special about our relationship! Sixth brother, let's quickly find a restaurant. I'm starving!" As she spoke, she blinked mischievously.
Seeing this, Luo Lingfeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile. He looked at his sister tenderly and said softly, "Don't worry, Xiaoqi, there's no need to bother looking for a restaurant. I know there's a branch of Tianxianglou nearby, and the food is quite good! Let's go there and try it!" His eyes revealed his love for his sister, which made people feel very warm.
A group of people walked into Tianxiang Tower. This Tianxiang Tower in Liuyun City had a slightly different layout than the one in the capital. The one in Liuyun City seemed closer to everyday life, and there was even a storyteller in the lobby!
The lobby was bustling with people, many of them martial artists. The waiter, with sharp eyes, immediately recognized the extraordinary status and distinguished temperament of Luo Lingfeng and the others. He hurried over and flattered them, saying, "Young Master, there are private rooms on the second floor of our inn. The environment is quiet. Please follow me upstairs!"
Luo Lingyue said, "I want to listen to the storyteller!"
The waiter immediately smiled and said, "Miss, even the private rooms on the second floor can hear it!"
Luo Lingfeng nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "Then let's go to the private room on the second floor and bring us all your best dishes!"
The waiter smiled happily and responded quickly: "Okay! Our shop will make sure to satisfy all of you guests!" After that, he led everyone upstairs.
Luo Lingfeng and his companions had just taken their seats in the private room on the second floor when they heard the storyteller downstairs loudly say, "Wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, sex is a steel knife that scrapes the bones, wealth is the root of trouble, and anger is like thunder, smoke, and artillery! And let's talk about Prince Xiao of the Wu'an Palace. He's truly pitiful! He's been poisoned with many kinds of poisons since he was young! Among them, the Azure Sky Poison is so devastating that it will damage his very foundation! As it is... Prince Xiao will probably have a hard time thriving..."
Xiao Jinghan felt his head buzzing! He stared blankly at Luo Lingyue and Luo Lingfeng, the brother and sister, as if the entire world had become blurry at that moment. He could never have imagined that he would become the tragic protagonist in the storyteller's story.
Luo Lingfeng and his sister were also bewildered. Their conversation on the road had now become part of the storyteller's script. They realized then that this matter was far more serious than they had imagined.
