Zhou Huailing followed the direction he was pointing and saw Gu Chaoyan. He was startled for a while. Then he turned to Xuan Lin, the Prince of the North Qi Land. He had some communication with this man before, and he was not a man who liked talking sense. He might not be that indulging in the Saint Divine Land, yet Zhou Huailing could tell what kind of person he was.
Now this man was looking at Gu Chaoyan with interest. He sensed that something was going on.
He had fallen for Gu Chaoyan before, but she chose the Eighth Brother. So he did not expect that they would have a peaceful relationship. So he said with a smile. “That is Gu Chaoyan, the Elder Miss of the Gu Family. You would not believe how ugly she used to be. She never went out until she became prettier this year. Now she is going about in the court.”
Zhou Huailing was suggesting something else.
Xuan Lin showed an interested smile.
He had met many women from the Saint Divine Land. Most of them were pretending to be elegant, shy and bashful whilst as a matter of fact, they were all thinking about using tricks. He had never become interested in any woman from the Saint Divine Land, but…
He glanced at this cold-looking woman, who was behaving so resolutely. She did not even ask the person who was on her knees to get up after such a long time. She did not even want to pretend to be anyone else.
Xuan Lin thought for a while and said, “Let’s go and say hello.” Then he turned to Jian Yuxing from the Cloud Land and raised his eyebrows. “Are you coming with us, Brother Yuxing?”
Jian Yuxing had no interest in doing that, so he shook his head and focused upon the pitch instead.
He had always been interested in the sword of the Saint Divine Land. So he decided to study sword skills, but he saw the contestants and found them quite ordinary in sword performances.
He just could not figure out why they made such a fuss to have a contest here in the court – that was what confused him at the moment, so he showed no interest in ladies.
There was never a marriage alliance between the four countries, and they were here for the Spring Hunt as well as some transnational communication. No need to waste the time to check out any ladies.
“Brother Yuxing is not interested, so Lord Ling, let’s go and check her out.” Xuan Lin said, looking very fascinated.
Zhou Huailing panicked. He had the intention of telling him who she was so he would keep thinking about the girl rather than check her out so fast.
He was about to stop him, when Xuan Lin already started walking.
It was too late for Zhou Huailing to stop him, so he had to follow, but…
As Xuan Lin approached Gu Chaoyan, he did not go up directly, but stopped somewhere around her, staring at her.
Gu Chaoyan did not sense what was going on. At this moment, it was already Zheng Chenyi and Zheng Yunfan’s turn to compete with each other. That was the final round.
The winner from the family clan was competing with Zheng Chenyi.
If Zheng Chenyi won the contest, he would get the rank. If not, Zheng Yunfan would have it instead. That was the most important round of all.
Madame Zheng, who had been facing Gu Chaoyan on her knees, moved and turned to the pitch. She had to make sure that Yunfan got the rank.
Madame Zheng was feeling very nervous since Zheng Chenyi was good at martial arts too, and she hoped that he would not make it because of physical problems.
At that moment, someone collapsed.
Madame Zheng hurried up to see who it was..
