Just then, her brother, Prince Zhenbei Xiao Zhan, needed to see Fang Han and sent her to the Fang family.
This was undoubtedly a golden opportunity for Xiao Qingluan. Overjoyed and full of hope, she came to the Fang family, even secretly deciding to stay there for a while longer to cultivate her relationship with Fang Han and try to win his heart.
But the moment she stepped into the weapon-refining pavilion, the scene before her eyes was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing her high expectations.
Because she immediately noticed that Fang Han was intently refining a weapon with a tall, elegant, and beautiful woman.
The two stood close together in front of the chopping block, their bodies pressed together, their movements perfectly coordinated; the scene was indescribably harmonious and intimate.
Fang Han was handsome and dashing, and Gongsun Yaoqin beside him was beautiful and charming. The handsome man and beautiful woman standing together were like a beautiful painting, which was indeed very pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Fang Han and Gongsun Yaoqin so intimate, Princess Xiao Qingluan was consumed by jealousy and could no longer contain herself.
"Who are you? Why are you so shamelessly sticking so close to my brother Fang Han?"
Her eyebrows furrowed, her beautiful eyes widened, filled with anger and resentment, and she pointed directly at Gongsun Yaoqin, questioning her.
At this moment, she completely disregarded the fact that Fang Han and Gongsun Yaoqin were focused on refining weapons, her jealousy clouding her judgment.
Fang Han noticed Princess Xiao Qingluan's aggressive demeanor and pondered to himself. He smiled slightly and deliberately moved closer to Gongsun Yaoqin without making a sound.
Their bodies were almost pressed together.
Fang Han slightly turned his head, his gaze still fixed on the sword embryo, but his tone was somewhat cold and distant as he said, "Princess, we are currently busy with weapon forging. If there is anything else, please wait a moment."
"No, you are the man I love, and I will not allow any other woman to get close to you."
Princess Xiao Qingluan said forcefully.
"Zhou Chi, you forge this sword blank."
Fang Han sighed, then said to Gongsun Yaoqin, "Yaoqin, you must be tired. Why don't you take a rest?"
His hand naturally grasped Gongsun Yaoqin's soft hand, and led her to a wooden chair nearby.
His gaze almost never left Gongsun Yaoqin, but he didn't look at Princess Xiao Qingluan even once.
"Fang Han, who is she? You rejected my advances, yet here you are, intimately forging weapons with this woman in the weapon-refining pavilion. What is the logic behind this?"
Princess Xiao Qingluan frowned, her chest heaving, clearly indicating that her anger had reached its peak.
Before Fang Han could respond, Gongsun Yaoqin took a few light steps and walked towards Princess Xiao Qingluan.
A faint smile played on her lips, but a hint of provocation shone in her eyes. She said softly, "So you're the famous Princess Qingluan? Matters of the heart can't be forced. Princess, you should know what it means to force things. My name is Gongsun Yaoqin. This is our first meeting. Why don't you wait here a little longer until Fang Han and I finish forging this sword and give it to you as a gift to calm you down?"
She told the princess to calm down, but she was actually deliberately provoking Princess Xiao Qingluan.
Although her intimate actions with Fang Han at this moment were just an act, she had come to realize that she no longer wanted to see other women near Fang Han, especially close to him.
An indescribable feeling quietly took root in her heart, driving her to do everything she could to drive away the princess in front of her.
She didn't take the other party's status as a princess seriously at all, and her courage inexplicably grew when it came to matters concerning Fang Han.
"If Fang Hanruo gives me something, I will naturally accept it gladly. But as for what you're giving me, forget it. This princess doesn't accept things from just anyone."
Princess Xiao Qingluan glanced at Gongsun Yaoqin with disdain in her eyes: "Gongsun Yaoqin, don't waste your time trying to drive me away. Let me tell you, if you dare to compete with me for a man, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"
Her words were domineering and ruthless, displaying an attitude of superiority and inviolability.
"Princess, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to take my life."
Gongsun Yaoqin was not to be outdone and sneered, "I have heard that your brother, the Prince of Zhenbei, has always been a reasonable person. In this matter, you are so unreasonable and domineering that he will certainly not take your side. And if it really comes to a fight, you are no match for me."
"I am no match for you?"
Princess Xiao Qingluan was furious upon hearing this.
A fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and with a sudden sway of her body, she lunged at Gongsun Yaoqin, striking her directly in the chest with her palm.
As a mid-level martial artist, she delivered this palm strike without reservation, containing immense power.
Gongsun Yaoqin's words thoroughly enraged her, and she was already contemplating killing.
"Is that all the cultivation you have? You dare to fight me?"
Seeing this, Gongsun Yaoqin remained calm and composed, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
She lightly raised her delicate hand and casually clapped her hands.
In an instant, true energy surged from her palm, rapidly condensing in the air and forming the shape of a giant hand in the blink of an eye.
This move was the palm technique that Fang Han taught her.
Before Princess Xiao Qingluan could get close to Gongsun Yaoqin, she was struck by the giant palm formed from true energy.
With a muffled thud, Princess Xiao Qingluan's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.
Fang Han and Zhou Chi stood aside, witnessing this sudden turn of events, both stunned into silence.
They never expected that the usually gentle and charming Gongsun Yaoqin would be so assertive and ruthless at this moment.
"You...you're actually a Martial Grandmaster?"
Princess Xiao Qingluan struggled to get up from the ground, her face filled with shock and disbelief.
After all, Gongsun Yaoqin was about the same age as her, but her cultivation level far surpassed hers, which made her extremely shocked.
“That’s right, I am already a mid-level Martial Grandmaster. If you want to make a move in the future, Princess, please think twice before you act.”
Gongsun Yaoqin's expression was cold and her eyes were sharp as she stared directly at Princess Xiao Qingluan, saying each word clearly, "Anyone who dares to covet my brother Fang Han will not be spared!"
At this moment, she exuded a powerful aura, radiating domineering confidence, completely different from the shy and timid girl she had been just moments before.
Xiao Qingluan was stunned.
You know, she's always the one threatening others, but I never expected there would be a woman even more ruthless than her this time.
She knew that if she continued fighting, she wouldn't gain any advantage.
