Instead, it was treated as a simple chat, preserving Junran's dignity as a man and preventing him from feeling any shame.
"I see."
Sure enough, Junran didn't feel uncomfortable at all under her explanation and accepted it very naturally. "An empire and a kingdom are indeed different."
Back then, although their Jun family was considered a fairly large family in the kingdom, looking back now, it was truly incomparable.
"It's Ran'er!"
Upon seeing Junran arrive, the elders of the Wang Bangjun family, who had arrived early to reserve seats, all immediately greeted him with beaming smiles.
"kindness."
Junran remained indifferent in the face of these elders.
"Miss Murong has arrived too."
The elders were already used to it and didn't care. However, when they saw Murong Qin, their smiles widened and their faces became even more amiable.
They had already learned about the Murong family's situation over the past few days, and they were happy to see the two of them get together.
Therefore, they secretly regarded Murong Qin as the young mistress of the Lai Jun family.
Although Murong Qin is three years older than Jun Ran.
However, as the saying goes, "a woman three years older is like a gold brick," and besides, cultivators have a long time to live, so being three years older really doesn't mean much.
You should know that as long as you are powerful enough, it is common for couples to be hundreds of years apart in age.
After all, you can't tell from the outside at all.
"Greetings, elders."
Junran had already told her about some things concerning the elders of Wang Bangjun's family.
Originally, she had intended to respect her elders.
However, when she thought about how they had treated Junran and her son and Jun Feijue so badly, and how they had almost killed Jun Feijue, she just couldn't bring herself to be close to them.
Therefore, although she didn't treat him with the same coldness as Junran, she maintained a polite distance.
"Xiao Ran is here."
On the judging panel, the head of the Imperial Jun family immediately smiled and waved to Jun Ran upon seeing him.
"Greetings, Master of the Family."
Although the Imperial Jun family had never given Jun Ran any benefits, they had at least never harmed him. Since he would still have to live in the Empire in the future, their attitude was relatively more polite.
"Yes, good boy."
Looking at Junran, the patriarch smiled and stroked his short beard, then pointed to the seat next to him and said, "I remember your order is in the middle, right? There's still some time, so you can sit here and wait."
Upon hearing this, all the Jun family members who had come to participate in the assessment and were sitting in the audience looked over, their eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.
These days, they've also heard that a country bumpkin named Wang Banglai is particularly favored by the higher-ups of the family and has been given the best courtyard.
At first, they were somewhat skeptical, but now they completely believe it.
This is more than just being valued; sitting next to the head of the family is such an honor that even the direct descendants of the main family have never seen anyone have this qualification!
Junran, what merit or ability does he possess, that bumpkin from Wangbang!
"Hmph, I really don't know what's gotten into the higher-ups of the family, that they would value a country bumpkin so much."
Upon seeing this, a member of a collateral branch of the Jun family spoke first, his voice low and full of apprehension, "It's just a pity that my brother Haiye died so unjustly!"
This person was Jun Jin, a member of the Jun family, also from a branch of the Jun family in the mid-level empire.
He Junhai was a childhood friend and classmate. Upon learning of his death, she felt extremely sad and angry.
