At this moment, Emperor Jun Bufan glanced at the empty seat next to him. It was all over, so why hadn't the Imperial Advisor arrived yet?
He took out a dark purple brocade box and said with a smile, "Feng Wan, or Ji Jiuying, congratulations on winning the championship."
"Here, this is this year's grand prize: a ten-thousand-year-old Blood Spirit Mushroom."
Ji Jiuying walked up to the emperor, took the brocade box, and said, "This humble woman thanks Your Majesty."
Just as he was about to leave, Emperor Jun Bufan suddenly said, "Wait!"
Ji Jiuying turned around, puzzled. "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"
"Girl, it's rare for you to win the championship, but I feel guilty about breaking off the engagement. Here's what I have to say: tell me which prince or noble young master you fancy, and I'll take care of it for you!"
How could Ji Jiuying not know what the emperor was planning? In short, he wanted to keep her in the capital city.
Seeing that Ji Jiuying didn't speak, Jun Linyu, who was standing to the side, became anxious!
"Jiu'er, the annulment of the engagement was not my intention. I was misled and that's why I begged Father and Mother to dissolve the engagement..."
"But it's not too late. As long as you give me a chance, I will grant you the position of the Third Prince's consort!" Jun Linyu said with a firm and serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Ji Chenyuan's eyes widened instantly. What did Jun Linyu mean? How could he say such a thing in public? Where did he put his Yan'er?
Then, as if remembering something else, Ji Chenyuan turned his gaze to Ji Jiuying!
Maybe······
The emperor did not blame Jun Linyu for his sudden intervention, because he also felt that it would be best for Ji Jiuying to marry into the royal family.
"Hehe~ Girl, is my Yu'er a good match for you?"
"Not a good match!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback by Ji Jiuying's audacity.
Consort Liang immediately objected, "What? Does Miss Ji think the Third Prince is not good enough for you?"
“The Third Prince is a prince and a grandson of the emperor, and I am naturally not worthy of him.”
However, this humble woman doesn't have the habit of going back to an old flame.
Jun Linyu's face darkened. What did she mean?
After hearing this, everyone pondered for a moment. The eldest daughter of the Ji family was originally engaged to the third prince, and everyone in the capital knew that the third prince was in love with Ji Fengyan!
Furthermore, the future princess consort of the Third Prince is none other than Miss Ji the Second, so the meaning behind Miss Ji's words is self-evident.
The emperor's eyes were devoid of emotion as he said, unwilling to give up, "Since the girl doesn't like Yu'er, why not consider my Tian'er?"
Jun Lintian, standing behind the Empress, was startled by this turn of events! He had never considered this possibility before!
Jun Linyu stood frozen in place! A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he stared in disbelief at the man dressed in bright yellow. What did his father mean?
Consort Liang did not speak, but only showed a resentful expression.
Seeing Jun Lintian shake his head at her, signaling her not to speak.
“Your Majesty, all my brothers are now outstanding, while I am still stagnant. I only want to focus on my cultivation and dare not indulge in romantic relationships. I beg Your Majesty to grant my request.”
Before the emperor could speak, a burst of excited screams rang out from below, "Grand Preceptor, the Grand Preceptor has arrived!"
Ji Jiuying turned around and sure enough, she saw Gong Mingyue behind her!
Jun Luoli froze the moment she saw the Imperial Preceptor. She stared at Gong Mingyue with infatuation, and her feet unconsciously walked towards him.
Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow, looking like she was about to watch a good show.
Qingfei was startled and was about to step forward to grab Jun Luoli when, "Bang!"
Before Jun Luoli could even get close to Gong Mingyue, she was blasted away by a burst of spiritual energy!
Everyone stared in disbelief at Jun Luoli lying on the ground like a dead dog! They wanted to laugh but dared not!
Jun Luoli finally realized what was happening and, upon hearing the whispers around her, felt incredibly ashamed and angry.
No one dared to help Jun Luoli up. She stumbled to her feet, looking at Ji Jiuying with envy. Why should a good-for-nothing like her receive guidance from the Imperial Advisor?
Emperor Jun Bufan tried to stop Jun Luoli after seeing her actions, but it was too late.
"Grand Preceptor, I..." As expected, Jun Luoli was thrown out again, and this time she fainted immediately.
Consort Qing disregarded everything else and rushed over to pick up Jun Luoli with heartache. Knowing that she couldn't afford to offend the Imperial Preceptor, she could only swallow her anger.
"The Fourth Princess, Jun Luoli, offended the Imperial Preceptor and Consort Qing. Take her back to Ya Si Palace to reflect on her mistakes for a year until she repents."
"Your Excellency, it is my fault for failing to properly educate my daughter. She has now been imprisoned. I hope Your Excellency will be magnanimous and not hold it against Li'er!" Jun Bufan said, giving Consort Qing a wink, and then said to Gong Mingyue in a terrified tone.
Gong Mingyue watched Ji Jiuying's amused expression, and the corners of his mouth under the mask couldn't help but turn up.
"Hmm~ Since she is the one I wish to guide, then I will take her away!" Before anyone could react, Gong Mingyue and Ji Jiuying had vanished from the plaza!
······
The Imperial Preceptor's Residence.
The two stood facing each other!
"I want to go back, move aside!" Ji Jiuying looked at the man blocking her way.
"Are you sure you want to go back by yourself now? I'm afraid you can't even squeeze into your own courtyard!" Gong Mingyue said, looking at her with deep eyes.
Ji Jiuying finally realized that although what he said made sense, she still wanted to go back! Qingling and the others must be terrified.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Gong Mingyue added, "Don't worry, I've asked Yin Han to settle them all in a courtyard next door."
Ji Jiuying was stunned; she realized he had done all this for her.
"Thank you!" Ji Jiuying said lightly, and was about to turn and leave when she realized that she hadn't asked him where the next courtyard was!
Turning around, she saw Gong Mingyue smiling at her! Gong Mingyue's face was already devastatingly handsome, and with that smile, even Ji Jiuying was captivated by him!
"May I ask, Your Excellency, which courtyard is Qingling and the others in next door?" Ji Jiuying suddenly came to her senses and asked.
Gong Mingyue didn't say anything, but pulled her into his arms. Just as she was about to struggle, he took her and flew into the neighboring courtyard.
Ji Jiuying glared at Gong Mingyue. Couldn't this damn man just tell her directly? Considering he helped her, she wouldn't hold it against him.
Upon entering the house and seeing Qingling and Lengshuang there, Ji Jiuying immediately felt relieved.
After exchanging a few words with them, he called out Yingyue, who was hiding in the shadows, and asked him to train Lengshuang and the others for two months.
This is why Ji Jiuying asked Gong Mingyue to borrow Yingyue. She had exposed too much today, which would inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble, and might even lead to her death. Therefore, they must become stronger as soon as possible.
When Ji Jiuying arrived at the courtyard, she discovered that Gong Mingyue had already left.
After explaining all these matters, she checked the ethereal Sound of the Illusory Sea.
Not bad, it certainly didn't disappoint her!
Ji Jiuying discovered that Qingling really had talent in this area, and her advancement speed was also very fast, from the fourth star of Spirit Master to the current eighth star of Spirit Master.
