evening.

The Prince's Mansion was brightly lit and decorated with lanterns.

There was singing and dancing in the palace. The prince, dressed in a yellow and white cloak, looked elegant and graceful. He sat in the seat of honor, raised a golden cup in his hand, and smiled as he raised his glass to the three men and two women on his left and right.

"Everyone, please enjoy your drink!"

Kong Ju sat in the second seat to the left of the prince, and on his right was Huangfu Wuqin.

Seeing the prince raising his glass, he also smiled, picked up the glass in front of him, and raised it to the prince from a distance.

Then, he took a sip of the sweet and fragrant wine and let the rich aroma spread in his mouth.

Kong Ju's every move was calm and unhurried, and his handsome posture made the dancers in the hall glare with tears.

Huangfu Wuqin didn't drink, but in this situation she pretended to take a sip from the wine glass, and then her eyes were fixed on the fruit bowl in front of her with boredom.

From time to time, she would stretch out her white fingers to pick a spiritual fruit and put it into her mouth, ignoring the dancer who was dancing gracefully in the hall.

She looked very perfunctory.

"Oh, no wonder Junior Sister Huangfu is clamoring to go back to Wudong all day long. She really doesn't like this occasion." Kong Ju, who saw this scene, sighed secretly.

Then his eyes swept across the graceful dancer in front of him and looked at the two monks standing and sitting on the right side of the prince opposite.

Two monks, neither foolish nor angry, also came.

After he sat down, the two monks glanced at him intermittently, and did not even touch the meat on the table in front of them.

The two monks have also heard a lot of rumors in the imperial city recently.

Everyone is comparing the two of them with Kong Ju.

After hearing this many times, the two monks secretly began to think about competing with Kong Ju.

It was obvious that the prince's warning to the two of them that day had been forgotten by them.

Regardless of whether they were born into Buddhism or not, they are still young and full of energy.

The emotions in the two men's eyes could not escape Kong Ju's eyes, and he secretly sneered: "It seems that Shangzong Temple is not a peaceful place!"

Regardless of the previous behavior in Xunyu Pavilion or today's contact, Kong Ju's impression of Tianqi Shangzong Temple has plummeted.

On the contrary, he thought that compared to the two monks Buchi and Neihuo, the wine-drinking and meat-loving monk Congyun was more like a high monk who could remain calm in any situation and did not show his emotions.

The prerequisite is that Cong Yun can strictly discipline himself and follow the Five Precepts of Buddhism.

Thinking of this, Kong Ju casually turned his gaze away from the two monks, as if he didn't see the subtle sharpness in their eyes.

Today he came to the prince's banquet as promised.

I just went through the motions and went back. I didn't want to cause any trouble, let alone fight with these two monks.

This made Buchi, who wanted to have a clash with Kong Ju, feel depressed, as if he was punching cotton.

Kong Ju and Bu Chi Bu Chen looked at each other without saying anything. They just touched each other for a moment and then moved away, which was extremely subtle.

But even such a subtle movement was still captured by the prince sitting high in the seat and taken into his sight.

His light golden eyes lingered on Kong Ju's calm face for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it was unknown what emotion it expressed.

The prince's unintentional glance was seen by Huangfu Wuqin who was sitting next to Kong Ju.

The girl's pale golden eyes, symbolizing royal blood, stared straight into the prince's eyes.

One is the crown prince of Tianqi, who is extremely powerful, with talent that is almost demonic, and has the power to dominate the world.

One is the famous princess of Wudong, the top of the potential dragon list, and a favored daughter of heaven.

She has the dual identities of being the daughter of the leader of the largest sect in Wudong and a princess of the royal family, and is equally invaluable.

The blood of the Human Emperor in the body is equally rich.

The two of them stared at each other from a distance, and immediately activated the Human Emperor's blood in their bodies at the same time.

A faint golden glow flowed out from the two people's bodies uncontrollably, rendering the space where they were standing golden.

The prince's glance was enough to scare countless people in Tianqi.

However, Huangfu Wuqin was not afraid at all. He faced the prince's gaze with a desire to fight in his eyes.

This is also one of the reasons why the internal struggle within the Tianqi royal family is so fierce.

"Sister Huangfu is indeed much better than my second brother." With just this one glance, Huangfu Wuqin's position in the prince's heart surpassed that of the second prince.

With a sigh, the prince raised his glass, smiled, and looked away.

Huangfu Wuqin looked uninterested.

The gaze between the two caused such a big commotion.

How could Kong Ju not notice it? Looking at the slowly receding imperial dragon energy on the two people's bodies, he sighed for who knows how many times: "The blood of the human emperor is really overbearing."

Neither foolish nor angry, the two monks couldn't help but look at Huangfu Wuqin a few more times.

He was surprised that she could face the prince's majesty.

"This girl is worthy of being the Dragon Chief of Wudong. She carries the blood of both the royal family and the head of the Huangfu clan. Fortunately, she is a girl. If she were a prince, this imperial city would be turned upside down."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Although the banquet seemed peaceful and harmonious, there was a lot of undercurrents going on behind the scenes.

Kong Ju maintained a smile on his face, but his heart was already exhausted. He just wanted the banquet to end quickly.

Obviously, his idea was going to fail.

The prince specifically invited him and Huangfu Wuqin over, not just to invite them to visit the garden.

The song and dance were halfway through.

The prince stood up suddenly and invited Kong Ju in a calm voice: "I have heard that Wudong is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I have also read some travel notes about Wudong and was fascinated by it. I wonder if Mr. Kong would be so kind as to travel with me and tell me about his experiences in Wudong so that I can experience some of its customs."

"Here it comes!" Kong Ju's heart skipped a beat. The part he hated the most finally came.

However, since the prince had invited me in public and I was here today under the pretext of a garden tour, I certainly couldn't refuse.

Kong Ju had to maintain a bright smile on his face and responded cheerfully, "Of course. But the prince is very knowledgeable and talented, and my limited knowledge cannot stand up to his scrutiny."

"Master Bingpo is too modest. I heard that you spent several years in the Cangwu Sect's Miscellaneous Book Building before you became famous."

As the prince was speaking, he stood up from his seat and walked towards the palace door, deliberately pausing when he was in front of the door.

Kong Ju had no choice but to follow.

Before leaving, he caught a glimpse of Huangfu Wuqin's ambiguous gaze.

In my mind, her clear voice rang out: "Do you want Senior Sister to accompany you?"

She looked like she was about to get up.

Kong Ju subconsciously pressed his palm on Huangfu Wuqin's soft shoulder, feeling the soft jade-like touch on his palm, smiled, and responded: "It's okay, he won't do anything to me, Senior Sister Huangfu, just stay here."

Kong Ju's voice was calm, but it contained an unquestionable tone.

This made Huangfu Wuqin stunned for a moment, because Kong Ju had never spoken to her in this tone before.

By the time she reacted, Kong Ju had already walked up to the prince.

One of them has a noble and graceful look, while the other has a cool and otherworldly temperament. Standing together, they look like the sun and the moon shining together, complementing each other.

The two smiled at each other and walked out of the hall calmly.

After watching the two people leave, Monk Buchibuchen could only subconsciously look at the only person sitting in the hall, Huangfu Wuqin.

The two monks were shocked by the scene that Huangfu Wuqin was secretly competing with the prince.

Naturally, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times, his eyes full of scrutiny.

When the Chaodi Ancient City opens, there will be a fierce competition among the strong ones. The girl in front of them is very likely to become their strong opponent.

But Huangfu Wuqin was not Kong Ju. Facing the two monks' secret prying, she did not give them a good look. She picked up a grape from the fruit plate and put it into her mouth.

The light of pale golden pupils emitted a powerful brilliance, which dimmed the light in the hall.

The sudden change frightened the dancers in the hall so much that their faces turned pale.

Then Huangfu Wuqin's emotionless but creepy voice rang out in the hall: "What on earth are you two bald guys looking at?" (End of this chapter)
