When Zhuang Qianhui heard what Sheng Yin said, she immediately looked wary.
“Sister Sheng Yin, I know you like Lord Zong Ze. Don’t change your feelings so easily! Lin Yuan is mine! I don’t know where my father can go to approach Lin Yuan for marriage, but Big Brother Li Xuan looks close with Lin Yuan. He has to know where Lin Yuan lives! All I have to do is ask him.”
Sheng Yin gently sighed.
Zhuang Qianhui was the direct descendant of the top faction Spirit Jam Orchard and had to have heard the news that the Moon Empress would be appearing at the Guard Ye Banquet.
Apparently, Zhuang Qianhui was hung up on Lin Yuan because of Lin Yuan himself.
The Guard Ye Banquet was going to begin soon. If Lin Yuan really was the Moon Empress’ disciple, he would be announcing his identity.
After he announced his identity, Zhuang Qianhui’s father would definitely not have the courage to go up to Leaning Moon Mountain to ask for Lin Yuan’s hand in marriage no matter how babied Zhuan Qianhui was at home.
It looked like Zhuang Qianhui’s affections could only remain one-sided.
…
When the Moon Empress saw Lin Yuan’s smile and read his lips that had uttered ‘Master, I won’, she felt a surge of warmth flood her heart.
The warmth rose so high within her that it caused tears to well up in her eyes.
She quickly closed her eyes and spent the next minute trying to curb her surging emotions.
The other 11 members of royalty were all surprised to see her doing this.
Besides the incident from a decade ago, they had never seen her in such an emotional state before.
The Moon Empress was always a cold person. Evidently, Lin Yuan held unimaginable weight in her heart.
The other members of royalty who also had disciples did not find the Moon Empress’ strange behavior shocking. If their disciples had won the Martial Arts Stage, they would be equally as proud and happy.
The Moon Empress opened her eyes after a minute. She remembered that the first time she had cried was when that old fogey had died.
At that time, she had been determined to never cry a second time. She never expected that her resolve would be broken without her even noticing.
As she watched Lin Yuan being lifted into the air, the Moon Empress could no longer hold back her smile as she turned to say to Mystic Moon, “Mystic Moon, that set of clothes is difficult to get into. Go and help him. Also, give this to him. Tell him to eat it to recover from his battle injuries.”
The Moon Empress handed a brocade box to Mystic Moon.
Mystic Moon took the brocade box and made a sound of acknowledgment before turning to walk out of the palace.
Mystic Moon had also wanted to go and see Lin Yuan. The Moonbeam Coronation Costume without coronation patterns that the Moon Empress had prepared for Lin Yuan was really difficult to put on. After all, it came with 300 accessories.
If Lin Yuan was left alone to figure out where to place the accessories, he would not even be done putting the Moonbeam Coronation Costume on by the next day.
Initially, Lin Yuan had felt fine as he was tossed up into the air by Liu Jie, Gao Feng, Long Tao, and Li Xuan.
However, Gao Feng was very strong. If Lin Yuan did not use his skills to keep himself balanced, he would have been quickly thrown to the ground by Gao Feng.
Now that Zong Ze had joined in, Lin Yuan was shocked by how much stronger Zong Ze was than Gao Feng.
Lin Yuan looked suspiciously at Zong Ze. Was he trying to get revenge after losing the Martial Arts Stage?
He felt like a rice cake that Gao Feng and Zong Ze were pounding.
Lin Yuan reached his limit when his backside went numb.
He hastily wrenched himself free and gracefully landed on the ground.
After chatting with some people, Lin Yuan took his phone out of the Diamond fey storage box and saw that he had two missed calls from Mystic Moon.
He hurriedly called Mystic Moon. When he learned why Mystic Moon was looking for him, Lin Yuan turned to Liu Jie and said, “We have to go to the Night Words Pavilion to change our clothes.”
Mystic Moon said that he was waiting at the Night Words Pavilion during the call. This was Lin Yuan’s first time at the Midnight Palace, and he did not know where the Night Words Pavilion was.
Liu Jie nodded and replied, “I’ll ask Uncle You to take us there.”
Lin Yuan exchanged a few more words with some people in the crowd and arranged to meet them again during the Guard Ye Banquet before he went with Liu Jie to see You Zhe.
Everyone in the small group knew Lin Yuan and Liu Jie’s identities. Although they were not certain what Lin Yuan meant by changing clothes, they knew that it definitely had something to do with the Guard Ye Banquet.
When You Zhe saw Lin Yuan and Liu Jie making a beeline for him, he immediately said, “Mystic Moon already called me. Let’s go to the Night Words Pavilion.”
You Zhe turned to Liu Jie and said, “Young Liege, the Guard Ye Banquet will begin in an hour. Let me help you put on the Night Clear Water Coronation Costume.”
Liu Jie was about to reject the offer when he suddenly remembered all the accessories inside the brocade box. He decided against putting on the Night Clear Water Coronation Costume on his own and replied, “Sorry to inconvenience you, Uncle You.”
Lin Yuan spotted Mystic Moon from afar as they walked toward the Night Words Pavilion.
Mystic Moon immediately walked up to greet Lin Yuan and said, “Young Lord, the Moon Empress wanted me to give this to you. She said that it’ll heal your battle injuries.”
As the Moon Empress’ Moon Envoy, Mystic Moon was just as proud that Lin Yuan had won the Martial Arts Stage.
He gave the brocade box to Lin Yuan and congratulated him as he said, “Young Lord, congratulations on winning the Martial Arts Stage.”
Mystic Moon was never present during the Moon Empress and Lin Yuan’s question-and-answer sessions. He also did not know exactly what the Moon Empress had taught Lin Yuan.
However, he had marveled more than once at the rate that Lin Yuan was improving.
Lin Yuan received the brocade box with a smile and said, “Thank you, Uncle Mystic.”
He opened the brocade box and saw one brownish-black pill.
From the moment he opened the box, a strong medicinal smell entered his nose.
Lin Yuan immediately felt his entire body and soul being soothed when he breathed in the medicinal smell.
