Ziyan: "......."
Chiyan: "........"
The branch members who had just arrived to pay their respects to the sect leader: "........."
"Alright, alright, you're not angry." Ziyan scrutinized Cheng Xianyi's face, but unfortunately, the gauze curtain obscured her view, so she couldn't see Cheng Xianyi's expression. She could only try to persuade her herself:
"But rest assured, Master, the Yan Emperor has falsely accused the Zhou family of treason and discarded them after they have served their purpose. This hatred can never be erased, so Young Master Zhou..."

Cheng Xianyi broke the corner of the table again and said indifferently, "I'm not angry."
“Ah Cheng won’t agree.”
“Yes!” Ziyan agreed, and quickly went to Cheng Xianyi’s side to whisper in his ear, “Young Master Zhou will not agree.”
“I had a feeling about this back in the capital!” Cheng Xianyi broke off another corner of the table, crumpled it in her palm, and said in an increasingly cold voice, “She was indeed up to no good.”
"Who has ill intentions?" Chi Yan asked curiously.
"The Eldest Princess of Yan Kingdom!"
The eldest princess?
What does this have to do with her?
Isn't this an imperial edict issued by Emperor Yan?
Cheng Xianyi's eyes were deep and unfathomable as scenes from her time in the capital flashed through her mind.
Once a suspicion arose, it was impossible to suppress! Not to mention that back in the capital, the Eldest Princess did indeed try to sow discord between her and Zhou Cheng, hoping to get the Cheng family to annul the engagement.
“At the time, at the Princess’s residence, she invited me to have tea and chat alone. Every word she said was bad about A-Cheng. She also told the Cheng family to break off the engagement as soon as possible and not to have a marriage agreement with the Zhou family.”
"Later, at the back gate of the Fang residence in the capital, the eldest princess took advantage of my absence to secretly meet A-Cheng, and even hinted that A-Cheng should abandon me and be with her, and that she could persuade Emperor Yan to spare the Zhou family."
"If she really thought Cheng was bad, why would she be two-faced, doing things that completely contradicted what she told me?"
“At that time, I had a premonition that she wanted to break me up with A-Cheng.”
"That's really true!"
"As we were about to leave the capital, she sent many people to secretly observe my and Acheng's movements. I had already guessed at that time that the princess had impure intentions and wanted to take Acheng away from me!"
"She dares to—"
"Snap—"
alright.
Overwhelmed by emotion, Cheng Xianyi slammed her palm, imbued with internal energy, onto the table.
The rosewood wooden table shattered into pieces and collapsed completely with a loud bang.
Zi Yan's heart skipped a beat. Oh no!
You say you're not angry, but you've already automatically imagined that the Princess is in love with Young Master Zhou?
Everyone present held their breath, not daring to utter a single word.
Chi Yan had been in Cheng Gui Pavilion for so long and had never seen Cheng Xianyi lose her composure like this before. The rumors spread by the members of the Wangcheng branch were not an exaggeration. Their master had fallen in love!
"Purple Smoke".
"Prepare the horses, I'm going back to Yan Kingdom!"
"I'm going to kill her myself right now."
Ziyan quickly snapped out of her daze. How could she say she wasn't angry? She was so angry she'd lost her mind!
"No, Master," Ziyan quickly said, trying to calm herself. "We've been traveling day and night for five days and five nights, and we've finally arrived at Yuanlong Ancient City. Tonight we have a banquet with guests from various countries."
"If you go back now, wouldn't your trip have been for nothing?"
Cheng Xianyi said stubbornly and coldly, "She wants to take A-Cheng from me."
"The eldest princess can't take it away, really. This little matter isn't worth your personal return to Yan Kingdom, Master!"
Cheng Xianyi shook her head: "This is no small matter."
Ziyan died: "........."
Is this the key point?
She was extremely worried.
“This is a small matter! Master, think about it carefully. How has Young Master Zhou treated you these past few days? He has nothing but you in his heart and eyes. He can only fall asleep holding your hand.”
"I will hold your hand and take you wherever I go. When I hear the news that something happened to you, I am more anxious and worried than anyone else."
"He, he even... yes, he even gave you the only Flying Phoenix Hairpin in the entire capital. How could such a responsible and discerning young master like Zhou possibly abandon you to choose the eldest princess!"
"To the Zhou family, Emperor Yan is an enemy. Why would he choose to marry the daughter of his enemy?"
"Just tell me, isn't that right?"
Ziyan solemnly stretched out her hand and pointed to the hairpin in Cheng Xianyi's black hair, her face full of certainty.
Cheng Xianyi blinked, touched his head, and then looked at Zi Yan's determined eyes. His emotions calmed down a bit, and he asked in a tone seeking approval, "Really?"
"You've also noticed that Cheng likes me a little?"
Ziyan nodded vigorously and then spoke from the bottom of her heart.
Furthermore, the branch's Chiyan and other members all echoed this sentiment.
As Cheng Xianyi listened, it seemed... to make sense.
“You’re right.” Cheng Xianyi calmed down, the extreme emotions in her eyes receding, replaced by a calm and indifferent attitude that made her see everything as nothing: “You’ve seen A-Cheng the longest, so whatever you say is right.”
"Now that the leaders of all countries and regions have arrived."
"Then I'll go and deal with them..."
