Yu Yan slightly released her divine sense and took in all the movements in the main hall.
The woman lowered her eyes to hide the ambiguous smile in them.
When Feng Su turned to look at her, his upward angle perfectly captured Yu Yan's expression.
The boy quickly turned around to avoid being noticed by others.
However, the originally depressed mood brightened up a little when he thought of the smile on Yu Yan's completely unfamiliar face.
Feng Su's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.
Su Qingxue, who had been watching him intently from her seat, was suddenly startled to stand up by the beautiful scenery.
Whoosh—
Instantly, all eyes were on her.
Of course, this excludes Feng Su, who was absent-minded from the start, and the little palace maid behind him who was thinking about other things.
"I must say, the Su family girl's outfit today really suits our Crown Prince."
"Su Qingxue's talent is indeed outstanding, otherwise she wouldn't have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining at such a young age."
"Have you forgotten that a few years ago, when the immortal cultivators came to take on disciples, they took away another girl from the Su family, but not her?"
The whispers fell completely silent after this statement.
Many noble ladies looked at Su Qingxue with envy and mockery.
Su Qingxue's initial pride, fueled by the constant praise, was instantly shattered by the man's words.
The woman tried her best to maintain a cool and aloof expression.
She practiced in front of the mirror for a long time and knew that this expression was the most beautiful she looked at.
After everything quieted down, the Water Emperor smiled and looked on.
"Qingxue, what do you want to say?"
The Su family were his trusted advisors, and Su Qingxue's image as a proud and privileged woman was deeply ingrained in people's minds, so the Water Emperor had a very good impression of her.
"Your Majesty, I know that today's palace banquet is to welcome His Highness the Crown Prince back. To express my joy at seeing His Highness the Crown Prince, I would like to offer a dance."
After the woman finished speaking, she looked at the quiet, unnoticed boy.
She felt very disappointed because he was the only one who wasn't looking at her.
She thought that once she said those words, he would definitely notice her.
However, Su Qingxue was disappointed.
Feng Su not only ignored him, but even tilted her head and started talking to the palace maid behind her.
Unfortunately, their voices were too low, and she was too far away to hear what they were saying.
Not only Su Qingxue, but everyone present, including the Water Emperor who was only an arm's length away from Feng Su, could not hear the conversation between the two.
Yu Yan: "I'll be leaving for a bit."
Feng Su: "No."
Yu Yan raised an eyebrow: "What's it to you?"
Feng Su choked, looking innocently up at Yu Yan, his long, narrow phoenix eyes filled with grievance.
"I don't……"
Yu Yan wanted nothing more than to punch him and make him pretend.
But in the end, Feng Su's wish was not fulfilled.
Under the boy's mournful gaze, the palace maid bowed respectfully, turned, and left the hall.
This wouldn't have been a problem in itself, but unfortunately, three-quarters of the people in the hall were focused on Feng Su.
Seeing that their Crown Prince was unhappy, he turned his head away.
Curiosity was piqued in everyone's hearts.
What did His Highness the Crown Prince and his palace maid talk about?
Feng Su seemed to finally realize something was wrong. He raised his eyes and looked around the hall, his gaze not lingering on anything.
The corners of her lips, which had been pressed down, gradually returned to normal.
He then looked at the Water Emperor, who was also staring at him, with a puzzled expression, and heard him ask,
"What's wrong?"
What's wrong with just saying something casually?
The Water Emperor was so angry he almost laughed. This son of his really didn't take him seriously at all!
But so what?
He owes him everything!
