Chapter 46.1: It"s Been a Long Time

Yan Ning Luo was really terrifying when she became serious. The Faint Mist Sect often held contests among their sects" inner disciples and she had always gotten first place every year. Moreover, the sect leader would also arrange for them to go out for rigorous training and her acc.u.mulated battle experience was definitely stronger than Yue Xin Yan. In the end, with just one wrong move, Yue Xin Yan was struck on the shoulder and blood churned within her, causing her to fall down from midair.

Yan Ning Luo stopped the moment she struck a hit and did not make any more moves. In a show of righteousness, she walked up to her opponent and extended her hand. "Appreciate that you"ve let me win, Ninth Princess."

Yue Xin Yan was dazed for a moment before she pulled on her hand to stand up. Having been defeated she was not feeling dejected or depressed but was instead showing a sweet smile. "Yan Ning Luo, you"re indeed very strong, a proper prodigy through and through."

Being praised, Yan Ning Luo did not show the slightest arrogance. "I am two years older than the Ninth Princess and when the Ninth Princess reaches my age, you will probably be stronger than I am now."

Yue Xin Yan smiled. "Then we"ll battle again at that time."

"It"s a deal." Yan Ning Luo agreed to it, and her gaze then drifted over to Qing Ye Li on its own, to discover that he had not been paying attention to the fight at all but was instead looking rather distracted, his mind elsewhere. Yan Ning Luo could not help but feel a wave of disappointment wash over her.

It was Yue Xin Yan who then carefreely pulled her over towards her own seat and said: "From now on, you are a friend of Yue Xin Yan." She went on to turn to Qing Ye Li and said: "Big Brother Ye Li, she"s really a prodigy! Haha, I have finally found a girl who is stronger than me."

Standing at such a close distance right before the person that she loves, Yan Ning Luo froze for an instant at that moment. If not for the fact that she was born with a cold and indifferent personality who didn"t show strong fluctuation in her emotions, she would surely have turned red, her heart beat wildly, and became an embarra.s.sing sight.

Qing Ye Li merely lifted his eyes up to glance expressionlessly at her and then grunted an indifferent acknowledgement without saying anything else.

Seeing him show such a lack of interest, Yue Xin Yan turned around apologetically and said: "Big Brother Ye Li is always like this. Although he always acts so cold, he is actually a very good person."

But Yan Ning Luo did not mind his cold and indifferent demeanor at all, as that person was just being who he was. Her gaze looking straight at the man, she then broke into a highly enchanting smile and said: "Qing Ye Li, it"s been a long time."

The smile of a beauty, could very well bring ruin upon cities and kingdoms.

Not to mention it was coming from Yan Ning Luo who possessed looks of unmatched beauty with such an icy demeanor, a smile that was so rare to see, so precious it was to be treasured.

It was such a clean and uninhibited smile that even Yu Xiao Ning who had always been close to her had never seen it before.

And it was just that one highly casual statement from her that had everyone stunned in shock.

She had actually addressed the Duke of Vast Seas by his name! And with a tone that was so familiar, like they had known each other from a long time ago.

But that smile of hers was thought provoking enough. It had seemed like her fiance was His Highness the Crown Prince wasn"t it? But that gaze filled with such gentleness, that was exactly the kind of gaze one gave when gazing upon one"s beloved…..

Xuanyuan Che saw that unusual scene, and seemed to suddenly understand something.

Back on the day when they had come across the incident where there was an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on the Duke of Vast Seas, when Yan Ning Luo heard his voice, she had immediately come rushing out from inside the pleasure boat and looking rather worked up, as she relentlessly asked for that man"s location.

So, her feelings towards the Duke of Vast Seas…..

It seemed like it had been many years since he had heard anyone call him by his own name. Qing Ye Li"s eyes darkened slightly and then gazed straight at Yan Ning Luo. "We know each other?"

Over a span of eight years, this was the first sentence he had said to her.

The arc at the ends of Yan Ning Luo"s mouth deepened. "Of course we know each other. We knew each other since eight years ago."
