Emperor Southern Mist’s initial disappointment was brief, and he quickly regained his composure. “This is a positive outcome. The Shen family has proven its worth. I am pleased with your performance and will reward you generously. I will make arrangements for your mother to come and personally receive her reward!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Gu Chaoyan responded with a grateful smile.

Emperor Southern Mist’s actions were driven by his personal interests and those of the royal family. With Lady You as the sole pill refiner, he needed to ensure a steady supply of pills for himself and the royal princes. Therefore, Lady You’s entry into the palace was crucial to receive the reward.

However, all of these events had unfolded according to Gu Chaoyan’s meticulous plan. She anticipated this outcome, ensuring that the credit for Lady You’s skills would go directly to her, rather than the Shen clan.

Regardless of any further questions the Emperor may have had, he didn’t continue the conversation with Shen Lianxue at that moment. Instead, he calmly proceeded towards the back.

With Shen Lianxue, a Martial Warrior of the Fifth Heaven, leading the way, the achievements of those following behind appeared relatively ordinary. After offering some praise, Emperor Southern Mist shifted his focus away.

After evaluating everyone present, Emperor Southern Mist returned to his dragon throne and surveyed the assembly below. “Impressive, truly impressive. Southern Mist is brimming with talent, with each generation surpassing the last. Especially Lady Shen Lianxue of the Shen Family, if you have the time, I invite you to attend court more frequently, interact with the princesses, or engage in conversations with The Queen.”

As Emperor Southern Mist uttered these words, many in the audience couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy towards Shen Lianxue.

On Shen Ningyu’s face, the expression had already soured considerably.

Why, indeed!

Why did she get such good treatment?

Shen Ningyu seethed with resentment. She turned her gaze towards Qian Ziang, her face breaking into a smile. Fortunately, she had Brother Ziang, who had expressed his desire to marry her. This alone was a far better prospect than what Shen Lianxue had ever dreamed of. Unfortunately for Shen Lianxue, her dreams remained unfulfilled, but Shen Ningyu was determined to seize the opportunity.

Now that the Emperor had evaluated the cultivation and strength of these young individuals, it was the perfect moment to request a marriage.

The Qian Family’s promising young talents and an exceptional lady from the Shen Family seeking betrothal would undoubtedly bring great joy to the occasion. Shen Ningyu believed that the King would gladly grant their request.

After all, this was a moment of celebration.

So, Shen Ningyu felt quite optimistic about the situation.

She gazed at Qian Ziang, only to find that he didn’t meet her eyes at all. This caused a growing sense of anxiety, and she couldn’t help but stomp her foot, hoping to catch Qian Ziang’s attention.

However, no matter how she tried to make a sound or attract his notice, he remained oblivious.

What was happening?

In the past, Brother Ziang would always notice even the slightest deviation in her behavior. Why was he completely ignoring her now?

If he didn’t speak up soon, the Emperor would soon depart.

Feeling increasingly desperate, Shen Ningyu reluctantly bit the bullet and addressed the Emperor, saying, “Your Majesty.”

“Your Majesty, Young Master Qian wishes to speak with you,” Shen Ningyu finally spoke up.

She had gone to great lengths to set the stage, and now, she was merely waiting for Qian Ziang to reveal the truth.

However, Qian Ziang frowned slightly.

He had easily discerned Shen Ningyu’s ploy and subterfuge earlier, choosing to ignore it because he had no intention of seeking a marriage. Consequently, he had no desire to speak about it.

For the time being, he opted to remain silent.

This was not something he had anticipated..
