Chapter 107 94. The first encounter with Jing Lixue was like a startling swan - Part 2
...
Upon arriving in front of the princess's residence.
The leading sister, Lan Mei, gave Xu Yuan a glance and huffed, "I really don't understand what the junior sister sees in you."
Xu Yuan replied without changing his expression, "Perhaps it's because I'm rather handsome."
"You?"
Lan Mei, caught off guard by his retort and wanting to counter, found herself unable to say anything when she faced his handsome visage, with eyebrows like swords and stars for eyes, as though he were a dashing young master from a painting.
"In any case, remember to treat junior sister Qingque well and don't get bewitched by Princess Luoyang's sweet talk again."
She said this seemingly offhand, then stepped forward to approach a servant who wore white cloth on his head and had a mournful expression on his face, whispering, "Heavenly Dao Sect, Lan Mei has come to visit. Please announce my arrival."
Again?
Xu Yuan caught a glimpse of Lin Qingque's smiling face from the corner of his eye and had a rough understanding of the situation, but he chose not to say anything.
After all, he indeed had a precedent, and her worries were a perfectly normal reaction.
It's just that it seemed he was destined to disappoint her once more this time.
"Heavenly Dao Sect?"
The servant was momentarily startled and was about to go inside to announce their arrival when a maid came out from the residence, bowed respectfully, and said in a reverent tone, "The princess is already aware of your arrival and has personally instructed me to bring you inside."
"Oh?"
Lan Mei's eyebrows knit slightly together as she glanced at Xu Yuan without making a sound, clearly suspecting whether he had secretly visited once already.
But she didn't say anything and instead gestured for them to follow the maid into the residence.
Despite Princess Luoyang's unflattering titles and the malice they carried.
Upon hearing the door open, Jing Lixue, who was viewing the painting, turned around.
Her features were exquisite, ethereal like the rosy clouds, as fresh as the evening mist, and as miraculously immaculate as the grand fireworks one might look up and glimpse by chance in the folly of youth.
Jing Lixue's gaze passed over everyone present and landed on Xu Yuan.
"Brother Xu Yuan, you've finally come. I haven't seen you in so long," she said with an elegant smile, reminiscent of the year she returned when a sudden spring breeze caused thousands of pear trees to burst into bloom overnight, covering the city in a snowy blanket of flowers.
...
Jing Lixue's soft smile caused everyone present to skip a beat in their hearts.
Even Lan Mei, who had stood unwaveringly by Lin and Xu before entering the residence, couldn't help but feel alarmed, silently sweating for her friend.
Although she was aware of some rumors about Princess Luoyang, she hadn't taken them too seriously.
Now she realized she had been wrong.
This Princess Luoyang was definitely not simple.

Even though she couldn't detect any cultivation aura from her at all.
Right after, Lan Mei turned her gaze towards Xu Yuan, curious about what entanglement this young man had with Princess Luoyang.
Huangli, like a warbler, also cast a curious glance at Xu Yuan.
The young man standing at the back nearly spewed fire from his eyes.
Why...
He couldn't understand why this lad was so popular among women, why everyone liked him.
Despite their own remarkable qualities, why was it so?
