Chapter 50.3: The All Saints Day Begins
Self proclaimed to have completely studied three thousand beauties, the playboy Yu Jing Zhuo was completely mesmerized for the first time in his life as he stood there staring.
It was only after Yan Xi Cheng beside him called him a few times that he came back to his senses. Yu Jing Zhuo coughed awkwardly a couple of times and then turned his eyes away from her.
Yan Xi Cheng held his fist pressed against his lips to stifle a laugh. [Compared to the time when he first saw Qing Yu, isn"t this fella a little too weak willed? How could he embarra.s.s himself like this?]
"Cough, I had not thought there would be such a beauty in the Eternal Peace Duke"s Manor." Yu Jing Zhuo cleared his throat, before he then gave a handsome and suave smile.
As for Qing Bei at the side who had been completely disregarded, "….."
[So his presence before people is always so insignificant.]
Qing Yu cast a languid and indifferent glance towards Yu Jing Zhuo before she then said perfunctorily: "Thanks for the praise."
The atmosphere grew awkward, and Yan Xi Cheng then quickly led Qing Yu and Qing Bei to their allocated seats, where he did not interact with them much after that.
After that whole incident, Yu Jing Zhuo was a little depressed as he opened his mouth to ask. "Why do I feel that this younger sister of yours….. is even colder and more aloof than Yan Ning Luo?"
"Is that so? Qing Yu is usually very well behaved, and isn"t all that cold to people." Yan Xi Cheng said with a smile, and his gaze then turned a little mocking. "It is most probably because you were staring at her like an ignorant fool when seeing her for the first time, which caused her to dislike you!"
Yu Jing Zhuo did not have a response to that. "….." [d.a.m.n! Did he really make such a big fool of himself just now?]
[That was just too much! How could he have left such a bad first impression in front of a beauty! ?] He was suddenly feeling highly frustrated.
For this year"s All Saints Day, not only people from the other two kingdoms had come, even the Three Great Sects had each sent one heavyweight representative, to be judges that would select the male saint and female saint for this All Saints Day festival.
This year"s All Saints Day was expected to be the most exciting one ever. Not only had the always heard but never seen G.o.d of slaughter, the Duke of Vast Seas come, the great beauty famous throughout the lands, Yue Xin Yan, the highly eccentric but highly powerful twin princes, and many other capable pugilists from the Three Great Sects were also here, so it was guaranteed that it would be a grand and magnificent sight.
In the middle of the Imperial Palace"s grand hall, an enormously wide round arena has been built, a strong and tough spirit energy isolation barrier set up around the platform. Once a duel began, no one will be able to interfere.
Compared to the Martial Land Kingdom which was a highly warlike kingdom, the Green Wave Kingdom also had quite a number of scholars and men of literature and the arts. Although one"s level of cultivation granted them freedom of pa.s.sage through these lands, but without a little knowledge and a splotch of ink in their tummies, if they did not possess any literary or artistic talent to show to people, they would still be mocked and ridiculed. Hence, for this year"s All Saints Day festival, they had added a literary segment to the compet.i.tion.
Before the duels, they had already carried out one round of filtering and they were very strict. Many members of n.o.ble families who came all prepared were swept right out of the compet.i.tion right from the beginning and there was no room for negotiation at all, not even when they tried to bribe with money.
It was no joke. People from the other kingdoms and the Three Great Sects were here this time. If anyone of them were to mess up and cause any mishap to occur during such a momentous occasion that embarra.s.sed the Green Wave Emperor, they would definitely not be able to live peacefully henceforth.
"Big Brother Ye Li, isn"t that the person we saw at the Afterlife Loft back then? To think that he has come here as well." Yue Xin Yan"s gaze suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure, and she could not help but whisper to the man beside her to tell him about it.
Hearing that, Qing Ye Li raised his eyes up to look. The man on the opposite side seemed to feel someone"s gaze upon him and he then stretched his hand up to wave at them, his eyes just as charming as before, tugging at people"s heartstrings.
The surprising thing was, he was seated among the panel of judges.
