…
Zhuge Wanqing had never seen Su Changyu before.
She only heard about him occasionally from Nie Mengyao.
Because Nie Mengyao wasn't pleased with the engagement, her comments were naturally biased.
Zhuge Wanqing didn't overthink it; this marriage couldn't be changed even if Nie Mengyao didn't want it.
Until this time, when she saw Nie Mengyao's stubbornness, Zhuge Wanqing took the initiative to find out more. Zhuge Wanqing was also proficient in the Heavenly Technique.
It wasn't until this time that she saw Nie Mengyao's stubbornness that she decided to learn more about him.
Additionally, Zhuge Wanqing was proficient in the Heavenly Fate technique.
Just by looking at Su Changyu for the first time, she felt he was extraordinary, not to mention his strength.
Moreover, his temperament couldn't be faked.
How could Nie Mengyao describe such a person as only impressive on the surface?
As for killing Mu Qingning, Zhuge Wanqing wasn't clear about the details.
She couldn't judge without knowing.
Right and wrong weren't important; what she saw was true.
While observing Su Changyu, Zhuge Wanqing noticed he was also watching her.
Using the system to check, he found that this woman had a Destiny Level of two stars. She was a decent supporting character.
Su Changyu recalled that Zhuge Wanqing was mentioned in the original novel. Moreover, as a major family in the Imperial city, the Zhuge family held a superior position and mastered the Heavenly Fate Technique.
According to his understanding, the Zhuge family supported the Seventh Princess Nie Mengyao in this struggle for succession.
"If Nie Mengyao had the heroine's luck, maybe the Zhuge family would bet on her."
Choosing sides in the struggle for power wasn't something to be taken lightly.
After ascending the throne, the other side would eliminate anyone who picked the wrong side. Even if the Imperial City had restrictions in this regard, the family forces would suffer severe losses.
Therefore, from this perspective, the Zhuge family chose Nie Mengyao, a female, for a reason.
Su Changyu was interested in her ability.
Such an ability, like spoilers, would be delightful if he mastered it.
Thinking about it, wasn't this supporting character Zhuge Wanqing better than that so-called princess?
Moreover, it was mentioned that these two people were like sisters.
An idea crossed Su Changyu's mind, making him smile slightly.
"Gentlemen, please follow me." Zhuge Wanqing was unaware of Su Changyu's thoughts; her gaze lingered on him only briefly before moving away.
"His Majesty is in a meeting and will come over later. Please follow me to rest." Zhuge Wanqing said as she led everyone to a high platform. From here, they could see the situation on the Immortal Sacred Platform.
They were invited to visit, so there was no need to become involved in the ceremony.
Soon, the Crown Prince would be crowned, paying tribute to the heavens and praying for blessings.
This procedure would last three days.
However, the people present were grand experts, so time quickly flew by as they spent these few days discussing the Dao and exchanging insights.
Of course, one could also leave during this period.
After all, they were just guests.
As long as one didn't cause much noise, the Imperial family wouldn't likely bother you.
After everyone was seated, Zhuge Wanqing had the maids bring refreshments.
"I heard that the Great Holy Sect's Holy Son had ascended the Triple Third and set a record in the sect's history. I wonder if your so-called Triple Third was true," said a heavenly pride sitting next to Holy Son Jin Yan, who was deliberately provoking.
"Don't make a fool of yourself. Even if it's inaccurate, it's still a thousand times stronger than the Sword Tower of your Absolute Beginning Sect," another person supporting the Great Holy Sect retorted.
Honestly, this was supposed to be a time for meaningful discussion, but it turned into mutual ridicule.
Su Changyu leisurely sipped his tea, while those from the Yuehua Palace and the Absolute Beginning sect remained silent.
Zhuge Wanqing glanced at Su Changyu and felt the Holy Son was as outstanding as she thought.
He was talented, strong, calm, and had a powerful background—how could he not be better than Ye Yuan?
My goodness!
"Perhaps Mengyao was just misled by Ye Yuan. When she truly gets to know Young Master Su, she will understand," Zhuge Wanqing thought to herself.
At this moment, her eyes met Su Changyu's.
He smiled slightly, "I heard that the Zhuge Family inherited the Heavenly Fate Technique and are proficient in foreseeing the future and finding long-lost secrets. Miss Zhuge is young and promising. This Young Master admires you."
"Holy Son, you are praising me too much."
Having been praised by an outstanding person, Zhuge Wanqing's heart has been filled with joy.
Powerful yet humble.
And also, he was very handsome.
It was a pity that she had no chance with him.
Mengyao should really come and look!
In fact, Zhuge Wanqing wanted to see Su Changyu for the past two days.
However, given Su Changyu's status and engagement with Nie Mengyao, she didn't act to avoid suspicion.
"The Holy Son is a dragon among men, and Her Highness the Princess also often boasts about you with me."
"Oh? The Seventh Princess..."
Su Changyu smiled differently. But he didn't say anything.
This made Zhuge Wanqing puzzled.
Could it be that Young Master Su knew about Mengyao's relationship with Ye Yuan?
It shouldn't be possible.
Thinking so, Zhuge Wanqing couldn't help but frown.
Nie Mengyao had been in seclusion these past few days, and no one had seen her.
Naturally, she couldn't advise Nie Mengyao.
At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly resounded.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Everyone stood up, and the voices of civil and military officials below echoed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Amid the crowd, a middle-aged man in a magnificent golden robe, with an aura like an abyss, stepped toward the Immortal Sacred Platform.
The man's aura was like an abyss like the sea, and as he closed and opened his eyes, light flashed, which was breathtaking.
As he walked, divine light flowed from his body, and his calm gaze emitted terrifying pressure.
The Emperor of the Imperial Empire, Nie Xiaotian!
Two rows of figures kneeled outside the palace hall.
"Is this the Imperial Emperor?"
Nie Xiaotian's aura was terrifying. A person who could command hundreds of millions of people was undoubtedly not simple.
Su Changyu saw that there was also a young man beside Nie Xiaotian.
The young man was handsome and extraordinary, also wearing a golden robe. However, the dragon pattern embroidered on his chest made him appear less powerful than the man.
"That is the Second Prince, Prince Nie Yan," Zhuge Wanqing said softly.
The Second Prince Nie Yan's mother was from the ancient Lin family, and their influence was overwhelming.
Without the Lin family's support, Nie Yan wouldn't have become the crown prince.
At this time, they arrived at the Immortal Sacred Platform.
Nie Xiaotian turned to look at Su Changyu and others.
"Today, my son will be crowned as the crown prince. Thank you all for coming to witness this event. I have prepared some light wine. If there is any inadequacy in hospitality, please forgive me."
Nie Xiaotian then waved his hand, and rows of maids brought fine wine.
These wines were brewed from various heavenly materials and earthly treasures and were more expensive than most elixirs.
At this moment, they were used to entertain geniuses from these sects and powers.
Nie Xiaotian didn't immediately announce the start of the ceremony. Instead, he let the servants continue the preparations. "Father, should we not start?" Nie Yan respectfully asked.
"There's no rush." Nie Xiaotian said indifferently. "Let them settle their matters first, and then we will begin."
"Them?" Nie Yan glanced at the high platform.
Although puzzled, he didn't say anything.
(On the high platform)
Seeing that there was nothing for them to do, Su Changyu and the others sat down in their seats.
At this moment, Jin Yan grinned, "Everyone, the ceremony is still three days away. It's boring just to sit here. How about we play a game during these three days?"
His blonde hair was like the sun, radiating a majestic aura.
He coldly gazed at Su Changyu and gave a sly smile.
Su Changyu put down his tea cut and asked indifferently, "Holy Son Jin Yan, what game do you want to play?"
Holy Son Jin Yan chuckled, "I see that everyone has brought their maids over; why don't we each exchange maids for these three days and how about letting them serve their new masters?"
After saying that, he glanced at Su Changyu, especially at Su Jiuling by his side, licking his lips.
According to the information, this maid wasn't ordinary in Su Changyu's heart.
What Jin Yan liked the most was destroying things that others cherished!
