Chapter 114: Princess Yingyue
Ye Fei nodded slightly. After listening to the Seventh Elder's words, she gained a deeper understanding of this other world.
It turns out that a country is not ruled by the current emperor who holds all power, but by another, stronger force that forms a balance with him.
In her view, this is not only the case in Lingyun Country, but probably in the other two countries as well.
"You are still a green-green girl, inexperienced in the ways of the world. If you want to gain a foothold in this world, you need to know a lot of things."
The Seventh Elder affectionately ruffled Ye Fei's hair, his gaze sweeping silently over the people around him. A meaningful smile appeared on his red lips: "What one needs to cultivate is not only one's own spiritual energy, but also the ability to read people's expressions. I can tell at a glance which faction or family these people come from, what level their cultivation is, and whether they are righteous or evil."
Ye Fei nodded respectfully and said, "Sister is right, I have learned a lot."
"Hehe, there's no need to be so serious." The Seventh Elder leaned closer to Ye Fei and nuzzled against her. "Today we're just good sisters here to watch the auction, so let's just relax!"
Ye Fei was forced to get close to the Seventh Elder, leaving her both amused and exasperated.
Just then, a surprised male voice came from behind the three of them: "Xiao Fei?"
Ye Fei turned around and saw Huang Rongyu, dressed in a spotless white robe, walking gracefully towards her. His handsome face, like that of a banished immortal, was adorned with a gentle and warm smile. Just one glance at him seemed to purify any negative emotions in one's heart.
The Seventh Elder raised her eyebrows and smiled at Huang Rongyu, who politely bowed to her, saying, "Seventh Elder."
"There's no Seventh Elder here today." The Seventh Elder pulled Ye Fei and Li Yuan aside, her smile bright: "There's only Sister Rong Yu here to broaden my younger sister and brother's horizons, do you understand?"
Huang Rongyu could easily understand the meaning behind her words, and naturally replied, "You are absolutely right, sister."
The Seventh Elder gave him a thumbs-up with satisfaction: "You've got it!"
"Brother Rongyu, who are these people?" Another soft female voice came from behind, and then a beautiful young girl with delicate features, dressed in a light green, luxurious silk dress, walked slowly towards them.
Ye Fei sized up the girl; her appearance bore a resemblance to Huang Rongyu.
Judging from how she addressed Huang Rongyu, she must be his younger sister—the princess of Lingyun Kingdom.
Upon seeing this, Huang Rongyu said to the three of them, "Let me introduce you. This is my younger sister, Yingyue."
"Yingyue, these two are my juniors, and this one... cough cough, is my senior who takes good care of me in the academy."
He didn't know how to explain the Seventh Elder's identity, so he could only give her the title of "senior sister".
The Seventh Elder laughed upon hearing this, remarking that Rong Yu was indeed a clever and astute young man.
"Greetings, Princess." Ye Fei bowed politely to Huang Yingyue.
Li Yuan merely glanced at Huang Yingyue without making any move.
Huang Yingyue smiled brightly: "Just call me Yingyue, no need to address me as princess!"
"My name is Ye Fei." Ye Fei's first impression of this princess was quite good, so she returned the courtesy by introducing herself.
Huang Yingyue blinked her bright eyes: "Surname Ye? Could you be the third young lady of the Ye family that my brother always praises? My brother says you are exceptionally talented, even more so than him!"
Ye Fei couldn't help but chuckle: "I don't deserve it."
"Xiao Fei, may I call you that?" Huang Yingyue grabbed Ye Fei's hand, her eyes sparkling, seemingly very interested in her: "Let's sit together when Wugui Pavilion opens later!"
