Chapter 49.1: Weapon Spirit Awakens
Inside the vast Imperial Palace hall, all seats were already completely filled.
For the All Saints Day this time, everyone in the Imperial Capital had been looking forward to it very much. Because it was only on the All Saints Day that there wouldn’t be any differentiation between ranks or positions.
Even for the children from common families, as long as they were capable enough to pa.s.s the initial test, would have the right to come into the Imperial Palace, to duel with members of n.o.bility, where they might finally be fortunate enough to become the festival’s male saint or female saint, to be elevated right up among the clouds in one step, gaining the Emperor’s favour.
But that was just a beautiful daydream. As the female saint every single time the festival came around was always Yan Ning Luo, the greatest lady prodigy in the Green Wave Kingdom, who was accepted into the Faint Mist Sect more than ten years ago when they came here personally to recruit her and was now a highly favoured inner disciple in there.
Even within the Faint Mist Sect where powerful pugilists were a dime a dozen, Yan Ning Luo’s name was always seen on their ranking chart and was even steadily near the front ranks.
And the position of male saint had always been taken by Xuanyuan Che which had the people always saying they those two were indeed a match made in Heaven, with their powers equally strong and profound.
The Three Great Sects had always been secretly fighting to gain the top position and although the Faint Mist Sect had been standing a notch above to hold the leading position among the sects, the Limitless Sect and the Carefree Valley were not just any laidback and insignificant bunch as well. They had been biding their time and building their strength over the past few years and their might was hard to determine now.
This year’s All Saints Day could very well be the year that would see some change.
As the Green Wave Kingdom’s past male and female saints, the duty of receiving important guests had naturally fallen onto the shoulders of Yan Ning Luo and Xuanyuan Che.
Although Yan Ning Luo was just recently come of age, but the calm and steady air surrounding her made it very difficult for people to not consider her age as they were all unconsciously subdued by her, completely bowled over. With her standing beside the Crown Prince of the Kingdom Xuanyuan Che, she did not pale in comparison in the very least.
"I have never seen you so eager in all the previous years." Xuanyuan Che’s gentle voice sounded beside her, tinged with an indecipherable tone.
Yan Ning Luo had just greeted one of her fellow junior disciple and when she turned around to hear these words, she was taken aback a moment. The corners of her lips then lifted very slightly. "What? How am I different in previous years?"
Xuanyuan Che’s eyes darkened, and he did not face her as he answered her question. "That man Qing Ye Li, it is better you do not get too close to him."
"Could His highness the Crown Prince be jealous?" Yan Ning Luo said with a burst of laughter. "I know better than you what kind of a man he is. Rest a.s.sured. I am still holding the name of being the Crown Prince Consort and I will not attract gossip to your name. But....." She paused a moment, and then leaned in closer and her voice stifled low so only the two of them could hear. "Do you know..... why I do not like you?"
"Why?" That was something that Xuanyuan Che actually did not understand. He had initially not detested this woman but whenever they came to meet each other, she was always showing such a great lack of interest. As the Crown Prince of a Kingdom, how many countless woman would long so much for just a glance from him? But only this woman here avoided him like he was a poisonous scorpion.
That caused him who had initially held a little liking for her to turn into abhorrence. No man existed that would be able to tolerate having their fiancée treat them with such an att.i.tude.
As time went by, the two of them then grew to detest the sight of each other.
"Ha. By now, I am not afraid to tell you." Yan Ning Luo suddenly broke into a smile. For the always cold and aloof little beauty to break into a smile like this, it was absolutely stunning. To the eyes of outsiders, they might think that the engaged couple were whispering sweet words to each other, and the young beauty’s smile was just so moving.
But only Xuanyuan Che seemed to hear the young lady’s cold voice whisper softly beside his ear. "Qing Ye Li..... He is the destined one for me. I was only just eight when I saw him for the very first time. But for as long as I can remember, this person had appeared in my dreams so frequently, and it was when he appeared right before my eyes that I came to realize that those dreams had all been real."
