At this moment, in one corner of the banquet, Long Zheng heard the sound of the princess's arrival and turned his gaze toward the main hall entrance. When he saw Ling Mo Xie walking alongside the princess, his eyes suddenly deepened with an endless fury, and the wine cup in his hand shattered into pieces, falling to the ground.
"Hmph! So that's how it is. No wonder he wouldn't help me! It seems I underestimated him!" Long Zheng muttered to himself in a low voice.
To Long Zheng, Ling Mo Xie was just a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. Although he knew that Ling Mo Xie had a good relationship with the princess, he thought it was merely the princess looking favorably upon him. He never expected...
Looking at the way he and the princess were together now, it was far more complicated than he had imagined!
The princess as well! Long Zheng felt resentful; he had thought that the princess would look down on someone like Ling Mo Xie. So even though he knew about their good relationship, he initially did not regard Ling Mo Xie as a rival but instead wanted to win him over.
But seeing the current situation, Long Zheng realized that Ling Mo Xie was now his greatest enemy, posing a greater threat than those young heirs from the Big Families in the capital who sought to compete with him.
"It seems my father hasn't arrived yet. Let's find a spot to wait for him," Dongfang Siyu said to Ling Mo Xie as she observed the scene in the main hall.
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie felt countless piercing gazes upon him. He nodded awkwardly in agreement and looked toward the source of the most intense glare.
"Long Zheng?" Ling Mo Xie squinted his eyes. No wonder; it seemed he must be wishing to kill him right now.
Hehe, Ling Mo Xie chuckled lightly, showing no signs of fear as he followed Dongfang Siyu to find a place to sit.
As Ling Mo Xie and Dongfang Siyu enjoyed the food at the banquet and chatted happily, Ling Mo Xie could only feel those gazes directed at him growing increasingly sharp, leaving him feeling helpless.
Fortunately, at that moment, the King arrived, drawing everyone's attention.
Just as the king finished speaking and announced the start of the banquet, a loud laugh suddenly echoed from outside the hall: "Haha! King of Izumo Kingdom, I came here specifically for your matters. You didn't even wait for me to start the banquet?"
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback upon hearing this voice. Who was this person to be so audacious in front of the King of Izumo Kingdom?
Although the king showed some annoyance at the speaker's words, he did not lose his temper, which only deepened Ling Mo Xie's confusion.
"Dongfang Siyu, who is this guy? Why is he so arrogant?" Ling Mo Xie looked at the ministers attending the banquet, who all appeared angry and some even began to curse aloud. However, seeing that the king remained silent, they could only mutter a few curses under their breath and stop talking.
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's question, Dongfang Siyu frowned and said while looking at the person walking calmly into the hall, "This... should be someone from the Divine Martial Sect. I mentioned before that Izumo Kingdom urgently needs this batch of treasures because we are currently at war with other countries. My father is unwilling to put all his hopes on these treasures and has sought assistance from several major sects within Izumo Kingdom."
After Dongfang Siyu finished speaking, the person had already reached the entrance of the hall. Ling Mo Xie turned to look at him.
The person indeed wore the attire of a Divine Martial Sect disciple, with a defiant expression on his face. He wasn't particularly outstanding in appearance, but his cultivation was quite impressive—he was actually at the late stage of Yuan Ying.
Ling Mo Xie thought for a moment; both the Divine Martial Sect and Azure Emperor Sect were top-tier sects in Izumo Kingdom, and their disciples' levels should be comparable. Since Ning Qi from Azure Emperor Sect was at Yuan Ying stage and already a direct disciple of an elder, it seemed that this disciple from Divine Martial Sect should hold a similar status to Ning Qi.
Once that person entered, the King of Izumo Kingdom greeted him with a smile and said, "So it's a high disciple of the Divine Martial Sect. Well... you see, it's not suitable for us to discuss assistance for our country right now. Why don't Liu Gongzi join us for tonight's gathering first? I can find you a place to stay, and we can discuss serious matters tomorrow?"
However, Liu Wanshan acted like a carefree young master and shrugged, saying, "What’s there to discuss today or tomorrow? This kind of small banquet is whatever! Let me be straightforward: my master's intention is that as long as you can marry Princess Siyu to me, the Divine Martial Sect will definitely support Izumo Kingdom!"
"This..." The King of Izumo Kingdom's expression changed upon hearing Liu Wanshan's words. Seeing Liu Wanshan's nonchalant demeanor and knowing he was merely at the late stage of Yuan Ying despite being a direct disciple of the Divine Martial Sect's leader, he naturally did not want to marry Dongfang Siyu to him.
However, since Liu Wanshan was so blunt about it right from the start, if the King refused, it would likely ruin any chance of negotiation. At this moment, Izumo Kingdom was at a disadvantage and desperately needed assistance from the Divine Martial Sect.
Liu Wanshan looked at Izumo King with a cold smile and said, "Izumo King, you need to think carefully! This is an opportunity given to you by my Divine Martial Gate. As long as the Izumo Kingdom royal family can marry into the Divine Martial Gate, I believe the Izumo Kingdom will surely rise to greater heights!"
"And..." Liu Wanshan glanced at the King and continued, "My Divine Martial Gate has existed for over a thousand years. No matter how your dynasty changes, it has no impact on us. You must think this through."
Seeing Liu Wanshan suddenly appear, Long Zheng could no longer sit still and quickly spoke up, "Your Majesty, you cannot listen to him. Think of the princess; marrying such a person..."
Before Long Zheng could finish speaking, Liu Wanshan unleashed his aura, instantly silencing Long Zheng, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
"Hmph! I am discussing matters with the King. Is it someone like you, an insignificant junior, who can interrupt? Truly ignorant and disrespectful!" Liu Wanshan shot a sideways glance at Long Zheng and coldly snorted.
Long Zheng's father hurriedly pulled him down into his seat and repeatedly said to Liu Wanshan, "I apologize, I apologize! Liu Gongzi, my son is young and does not understand the gravity of the situation. I hope Liu Gongzi can be magnanimous and not hold it against him."
"Hmph!" Liu Wanshan coldly snorted and gave Long Zheng a mocking look before turning back to Izumo King, his expression clearly pressuring Izumo King for an answer.
"Father!" Long Zheng looked at his father with dissatisfaction, his face filled with indignation.
His father sighed and said, "Zheng'er, don't cause trouble for your grandfather. We cannot afford to offend the Divine Martial Gate; they have experts in the Ascension stage. Your grandfather is nothing in front of them! It's just that I didn't expect Liu Wanshan to have his eyes on Dongfang Siyu; you simply do not have that fortune!"
