Can Chapter 301 be transferred now?
Li Jinshuang remained in Yu Sui's room. After taking a bath, she went to rest in the next room. She only opened her eyes when there was a knock on the door, thinking that Yu Sui had returned.
But Yu Sui doesn't need to knock on the door when she comes back.
Li Jinshuang sat up and went to the door to wait.
This was Yu Sui's dormitory, and Li Jinshuang did not open the door rashly.
She waited a while, and then heard Princess Shangyang's displeased voice from outside: "Nangong Sui! Open the door for me right now!"
Princess Shangyang's relationship with Yu Sui at Taiyi Academy was neither particularly good nor bad in the eyes of others. Li Jinshuang remained silent and motionless, waiting for Princess Shangyang to leave on her own.
Princess Shangyang was not the only one outside; in addition to her group of girlfriends, Princess Jianing of Dan Kingdom was also present.
Seeing Princess Shangyang throwing a tantrum at the door, Wei Jianing covered her face with her hand and laughed, "Your Highness, it seems she doesn't want to talk to you."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Princess Shangyang turned around and glared at Wei Jianing. "She's clearly not inside! Otherwise, how dare she ignore this princess!"
Wei Jianing rolled her eyes and laughed, "Then we've made a wasted trip."
"Are you and Nangong Sui very familiar?" Princess Shangyang turned to look her over. "Why did you suddenly decide to give her an invitation to the Golden Pearl Banquet this time?"
“Every year there are new people coming, but this year’s new people include our Princess Nangong.” Wei Jianing still covered her face, only revealing a pair of smiling eyes. “She went from being a mediocre sorcerer to a low-level sorcerer, and was taken as a disciple by a sage of the Ghost Dao School as soon as she entered the academy. Either way, she meets the rules for entering the Golden Pearl Banquet.”
"Everyone is very curious about her and wants to meet her. Many people want to invite her. If it's not me, it will be someone else. As one of the organizers of the Golden Pearl Banquet, don't you want to invite Nangong Sui?"
Princess Shangyang snorted. Of course she would invite him. This year it was her turn to choose the venue, and she would definitely invite Nangong Sui to see how powerful she was.
How could she just watch Nangong Sui steal the spotlight and overshadow her in Taiyi?
Even if it means being kidnapped, we will bring Nangong Sui to this Golden Pearl Banquet!
Wei Jianing was also afraid that Yu Sui wouldn't agree, so she brought Princess Shangyang along. Ever since Yu Sui came to Taiyi, Wei Jianing and the others had often heard Princess Shangyang talk about Yu Sui. If Yu Sui stood out, Princess Shangyang would be unhappy.
Li Jinshuang waited inside for a while and, finding that the people outside showed no intention of leaving, quietly sent a message to Yu Sui, telling her that Princess Shangyang was waiting at the door.
Yu Sui told Li Jinshuang to stay inside and not go out, saying she would be back soon.
Just as Princess Shangyang was growing impatient, she finally spotted Yu Sui emerging from the dragon staircase in the passageway. She immediately shouted, "Nangong Sui!"
Yu Sui pretended to be completely unaware and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"Of course I came to find you!" Princess Shangyang glared at her. "Where have you been? Why have you kept me waiting here for so long!"
"We didn't agree to meet today," Yu Sui said nonchalantly.
She glanced at Wei Jianing, who was standing next to Princess Shangyang.
Princess Jianing of Dan Kingdom, one of Pu Heng's assistants in Taiyi.
Wei Jianing was also sizing her up. Her smiling eyes seemed full of goodwill. She took the initiative to step forward and greet Yu Sui, saying, "I am Wei Jianing. Shang Yang and I came here to invite you to the Golden Pearl Banquet tomorrow."
She took the invitation out of her sleeve and handed it to Yu Sui.
Yu Sui looked up, somewhat puzzled: "What is the Golden Pearl Banquet?"
"The Golden Pearl Banquet, which I, the princess, am organizing, will be attended by many young ladies from noble families who are cultivating in Taiyi. In order to prepare for tomorrow's Hundred Families Night Parade, we can exchange information and form teams in advance, so as not to be at a disadvantage when fighting alone during the Hundred Families Night Parade."
Princess Shangyang instructed Jinzhi to hand the invitation to Yu Sui, and said unhappily, "Also, take my invitation, don't take hers. You will be the one I take with me."
Wei Jianing smiled, not annoyed at all. She knew Princess Shangyang's temper and way of doing things all along, and found it amusing.
She joked, "That depends on whose invitation Princess Nangong is going to accept."
Yu Sui looked troubled and said, "Can't I accept both invitations?"
Princess Shangyang immediately stopped her: "No!"
Wei Jianing replied, "Of course."
Yu Sui was the first to accept Wei Jianing's invitation, and Princess Shangyang's eyes widened in surprise: "Nangong Sui!"
Yu Suichao reached out her hand to Jinzhi, who dared not refuse and quickly gave her the invitation.
"Thank you." Yu Sui smiled brightly at the two of them. "Can I bring one more person with me tomorrow?"
"Who else do you want to bring?" Princess Shangyang said angrily. "You are not allowed to bring Gu Gan! This is a women's banquet!"
Wei Jianing said, "You received two invitations, so of course you can bring two people in."
Yu Sui said "okay," stood at the door, turned to look at the two of them, blinked, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Wei Jianing was stunned for a moment, then Princess Shangyang burst out: "How dare you send me away?"
"So I was asking if there was anything else?" Yu Sui asked innocently. "Otherwise, I'm going to open the door and go in. With you all here, I don't dare to enter the password to open the door. What if you see it?"
Wei Jianing: "..."
Princess Shangyang was furious at the veiled insult in the words: "Who cares about your lousy cipher! As if I, the princess, would peek? How could I do such a lowly thing? Do I need to use cipher to enter your broken door? Ha! What a joke! I can crush it to pieces with just one finger!"
Yu Sui nodded, then said, "Can we turn around now?"
Princess Shangyang: "..."
She could no longer tolerate it and turned to leave: "Let's go! You'd better be there tomorrow. If you dare not come, I'll tie you up and take you there!"
Wei Jianing smiled and turned around, saying, "I'll take my leave now. I hope to see you at the Golden Pearl Banquet tomorrow. It will be very lively then."
After the two of them left, Yu Sui opened the door and went inside.
Li Jinshuang had already heard the arguing outside. She stood by the door of the inner room and looked at Yu Sui as she entered, asking, "Are you really going?"
"I already inquired on the way back. The Golden Pearl Banquet was hosted by princesses from several countries, including Shangyang and the Holy Maiden of your Nan Jing." Yu Sui looked up at Li Jinshuang. "Didn't Xun Zhiya tell you you were going?"
Li Jinshuang shook her head.
“Then let’s wait until tomorrow,” Yu Sui said. “If she doesn’t call you first thing tomorrow morning, you can come with me.”
Li Jinshuang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
She didn't explain why Xun Zhiya didn't take her, nor did she ask Yu Sui why she wanted to take her; she simply agreed in silence.
Yu Sui said, "Have you used the medicine that Situ Jin gave you? It will be more effective than the medicine you get from the clinic."
Li Jinshuang nodded in agreement; she also wanted to recover quickly.
"Go and rest," Yu Sui said. "I'm going out later."
Before returning to the house, Li Jinshuang asked one more question: "Did they invite you to the Golden Pearl Banquet because they wanted to use the banquet as an excuse to bully you?"
Princess Shangyang may seem to be "accommodating" Yu Sui, but she doesn't really want to help Yu Sui.
“He probably wants to use me to provoke Third Brother. He knows that Third Brother won’t be locked up for long, but if something happens to me while he’s locked up, Third Brother’s mood will be completely different,” Yu Sui said. “Our Chairman Pu is also quite popular. The Qingyun Society helps people who are bullied by aristocratic families while also befriending them. Otherwise, how could he have gotten Princess Jianing to come to me?”
Li Jinshuang said, "They are all Danish."
“It’s not surprising that Princess Jianing would help him. Pu Heng is capable and resourceful. Once he returns to Dan Kingdom, the two of them can help each other,” Yu Sui said. “Princess Jianing probably thinks that Pu Heng has potential and ambition, and that it’s better to befriend him early on so that she can profit from him in the future.”
She could even imagine the relationship between the person who would help Pu Heng and him.
The majority of the people are from Dan Kingdom. They help each other and exchange benefits. The second largest group consists of ordinary disciples who are truly capable. They were either deceived by Pu Heng or saved by him, and have since become devoted to him.
Yu Sui looked at Li Jinshuang with a relaxed expression: "Even if they want to cause trouble at the Golden Pearl Banquet, they won't beat me up."
Those people wouldn't dare, and wouldn't, do such a low-level thing.
Li Jinshuang frowned: "Verbal insults?"
“That depends on what can be insulted.” Yu Sui said thoughtfully. “In the past, we could use people who practiced martial arts as an example, but that won’t work now.”
Besides, there were so many people at the Golden Pearl Banquet, not everyone would join in the jeering and verbal abuse against her. Yu Sui didn't think her popularity was that bad.
Even in Qingyang, when others mocked her for being a mediocre person, they only dared to say it behind her back. The only ones who dared to laugh and ridicule her to her face were those few families who were not afraid of the Nangong family.
Not to mention that in Taiyi, the noble ladies at the Golden Pearl Banquet came from six states, and they were all either rich or noble, and all of them had some brains.
Li Jinshuang's words prompted Yu Sui to start thinking. What was Pu Heng's confidence in having Princess Jianing invite her to the Golden Pearl Banquet to provoke Sheng Fei?
Something that would both make her feel wronged and infuriate Seong-ho.
No way.
Yu Sui paused for a moment, her expression somewhat strange.
Li Jinshuang asked her, "Did you figure that out?"
"Probably." Yu Sui rolled her eyes. "There's something that most people probably know, but no one has said it outright."
"Some people are afraid of offending the Nangong family, but people outside of Qingyang are not so afraid."
With so many people in Taiyi, the information is a mixed bag. Many things happen every day in the six kingdoms, so it's natural that people in Qingyang would know the news faster.
Unfortunately, while the Nangong family and the Zhongli family were fighting, the sages from various countries were in the capital of Qingyang discussing the reform of the Shushan Mountain.
In other words, some minor gossip that happened in the capital of Qingyang would be transmitted back to other countries.
What was originally known only to the people of Qingyang is now known to the people of the six kingdoms.
Yu Sui calculated the time and felt it was about time.
The Zhongli family didn't want their eldest son in Taiyi to worry, so they didn't reveal too much information.
The Nangong family felt this matter was not honorable and did not want to say more, even prohibiting Qingkui from having any meetings.
The story spread from Qingyang to the Six Kingdoms, and then from the Six Kingdoms to Taiyi. There must be someone who knows about this, but hasn't said it.
Not everyone will blurt out the news immediately upon hearing it.
Some people are not interested in these things, while others think it's good news that can be taken advantage of.
Yu Sui smiled and said, "Let's go see tomorrow. If it's really as I think, then I'll have to thank Senior Brother Pu."
The Golden Pearl Banquet takes place in the evening, in the outer city.
At 7 PM, at Lingxiao Mountain Villa.
Apart from the Yan Kingdom, the princesses of the remaining five kingdoms jointly held the Golden Pearl Banquet, with the host and location changing every year.
This year, it was Princess Shangyang's turn to host the banquet, and the venue was her private residence in the outer city of Taiyi.
Emperor Qingyang truly doted on this daughter. Although he sent her to Taiyi Cultivation, he didn't skimp on the things she deserved.
Yu Sui brought Li Jinshuang to Lingxiao Manor. She lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside. The area outside the manor was already bustling with activity. Carriages were parked on both sides, and elegantly dressed young women got off the carriages in groups, chatting and laughing as they walked into the manor.
“If you don’t want to go in, you can just wander around nearby,” Yu Sui said, turning to Li Jinshuang inside the carriage.
Xun Zhiya did not invite Li Jinshuang to this Golden Pearl Banquet.
Li Jinshuang was also afraid that Yu Sui would be bullied if she came to the banquet alone, so she did not refuse her invitation and came along.
“No, I also want to go in and take a look,” Li Jinshuang said.
Yu Sui waved to her, signaling her to lean closer. Although Li Jinshuang was puzzled, she did as she was told.
"I'd like to see how Xun Zhiya will react when she sees you later," Yu Sui said softly, reaching out to help Li Jinxia re-insert her slightly loose hairpin.
