Although Su Yingyue was not happy, she did not say much. She led the way and brought Yun Qianyu all the way to where Xiao Jiuyuan lived.
Xiao Jiuyuan’s courtyard was mainly composed of jade and stone decorations. There was not much greenery, unlike the outside. The place seemed majestic, cold, and stern. Moreover, after entering the courtyard, the spirit energy seemed greater, which made her feel refreshed after taking a breath.
Yun Qianyu looked around curiously and asked Su Yingyue, “The air here seems different, I wonder why that is?”
Hearing this, Su Yingyue sneered and thought ‘What a country pumpkin.’
“Miss Yun doesn’t know? My Lord has set up a spirit energy gathering array in this courtyard. This array can absorb the aura of heaven and earth. In this way, my Lord can cultivate his spirit energy even when he is sleeping.”
“However, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to afford this array. Such an array requires thousands of spirit crystals every month. As you know, spirit crystals are hard to come by, sometimes even with money it is impossible to get any.”
As she explained it, Su Yingyue had a proud look on her face. There was even a sense of admiration when she spoke of Xiao Jiuyuan, her eyes sparkling as though she was admiring stars.
Looking at Su Yingyue, Yun Qianyu suddenly understood why this woman had been so nice to her. She wanted to flatter her because she was the future princess consort of Xiao Jiuyuan. Perhaps Su Yingyue wanted to be Xiao Jiuyuan’s concubine and thus was trying to get on Yun Qianyu’s good side.
Yun Qianyu thought of this possibility and felt a little speechless. She really wanted to tell Su Yingyue, ‘Girl, don’t waste your time on me. I won’t marry your Lord. I’m just borrowing the title of princess consort for the time being.’
Yun Qianyu was interested in the array in the courtyard in front of her eyes. She was very envious and marveled at Xiao Jiuyuan’s great wealth.
If her body had innate spirit energy and she could cultivate in this array, she would probably grow to be very strong very soon.
However, would Xiao Jiuyuan let her cultivate in his courtyard? Forget about it!
Yun Qianyu let out a smile then continued to follow Su Yingyue to the main hall.
Before they arrived at the hall, from far they could hear an angry male voice.
“Ninth imperial uncle, this Prince can’t standby and watch Yun Qianyu destroy Xue’er’s reputation. I want to get justice for Xue’er!”
Immediately, Yun Qianyu knew whose voice it was; it was Xuan Prince, Xiao Tianyi.
As soon as she heard the man’s voice, Yun Qianyu’s face darkened. She was already in a bad mood today, now the person she hated was also here.
However, Yun Qianyu pondered how Xiao Tianyi got here since she had been around the front entrance for a whole day.
Unaware of Yun Qianyu, normally people came in through the east door.
In front, Su Yingyue reported to Xiao Jiuyuan, “Your Highness, Miss Yun is here.”
In the main hall, Xiao Jiuyuan’s said in his husky voice, “Come in.”
Yun Qianyu raised her foot and was about to go up the steps, prepared to negotiate with Xiao Jiuyuan for money. However, after just walking up two steps, a figure appeared in front of her and blocked her path. The person stared at Yun Qianyu angrily and scolded, “Yun Qianyu, did you order the elder brother of Hai Tang to ruin Xue’er’s reputation? I told you not to harm Xue’er again, or I would deal with you!”
After saying that, Xiao Tianyi raised his hand which had a layer of yellow spirit energy surrounding it.
