“Tsk. General Wang, as the commander of the army, your life is destined to have many setbacks. The army star represents ‘destruction’ and ‘consumption,’ so it is advisable to frequently dissipate any negative energy and ensure the well-being of your family and superiors.”
She quickly calculated with one hand hidden in her sleeve. Her voice was cold and light. Every word was clear, with the coldness of the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
There was a sudden chill in the elegant seat.
“You… How dare you!” Wang Nan’s face was filled with dark clouds, turning green and white. Veins popped out on his forehead, and he felt ashamed and angry that his hidden illness and scars had been exposed in public.
He had been on the battlefield for decades and had fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. When he was angry, his bloodthirsty hostility spewed out.
Everyone present knew that Wang Nan was a general who had a magnanimous career in the military. They only knew that he came from a poor background, but they didn’t know that he was young and arduous.
At this moment, seeing Wang Nan’s excited expression, how could Chu You, Yuan Zhe, and the others not understand? Gu Yanfei was right.
The complicated gazes of the others made Wang Nan even angrier, and his face burned.
Wang Nan grabbed the handle of his saber and was about to draw it in anger…
Chu You watched coldly from the side and didn’t persuade Wang Nan. From the corner of his eye, he observed Chu Yi’s every move, and the corners of his lips curled up imperceptibly.
He wanted to see if Chu Yi would offend the dignified General of Jianwei for a beauty.
Swoosh!
The long saber was half unsheathed, and its light was cold.
Gu Yanfei raised her right hand, hidden in her sleeve. There was a talisman between her fingers as she casually pushed forward…
It was as if a gust of wind had risen out of thin air, and her wide sleeves were puffed up by the wind.
Wang Nan felt his chest tighten, as if someone had pushed it hard, but there was clearly no one in front of him.
He staggered back from the invisible force and fell into a chair at the back.
With a bang, his saber fell to the ground. His long saber was half unsheathed, overlapping with the loud and urgent sound of the gong in the hall below.
Wang Nan looked at Gu Yanfei in surprise and confusion. He still didn’t understand what was going on.
“The show has begun.” Gu Yanfei said with a double meaning.
There was a faint smile on her lips, and her usual laziness had completely dissipated. The aura around her was clear and cold, as if a snow leopard had bared her sharp claws.
When the gong stopped, the noisy and chaotic conversation in the hall disappeared. The musicians downstairs started to play the drums, and a long string of music sounded.
The show finally began.
The performers in the lobby downstairs started to sing. They were happy and lively, but the atmosphere in the private room was stiff.
“Hahahaha…”
Baili Yin, who had watched a good show, applauded repeatedly and laughed. “Second Lady Gu, not only are your sword techniques brilliant, but your Dao techniques are also mysterious!”
Baili Yin was the Third Prince of the State of Yue. He didn’t care if his words would offend Wang Nan.
As soon as he said this, Wang Nan’s breathing slowed down and his expression darkened.
Baili Yin stared at Gu Yanfei with a burning gaze. His handsome face didn’t hide his admiration and amazement for her. However, when his gaze swept past Chu Yi beside her, a trace of unhappiness appeared in his heart.
Ever since he mentioned the marriage alliance between the two countries in the throne room that day, in the past half a month, Chu Yi had already indicated several times that he could return to the State of Yue.
But he refused to go back.
Baili Yin smiled provocatively at Chu Yi and walked to Chu You’s side. He stood side by side with him, as if they were in a position to advance and retreat together.
The Princess of the State of Yue could marry anyone. It could be Chu Yi or Chu You.
However…
Baili Yin’s gaze on Gu Yanfei burned even more. It lingered on her fair and flawless face.
This little beauty was really interesting. He had never seen such a woman in the State of Yue.
He was determined to get her!
