Emperor Star Academy holds profound heritage, even the currency used in the Ancient Martial Realm bears its mark, indicating how immense its influence is in that realm, truly an unshakable organization.

Not only does Emperor Star Academy have countless strong practitioners, but innumerable talents as well.

The appearance of Gu Yunxi brought a hint of jealousy to Zhuge Lanshan's eyes. Gu Yunxi was not only exceptionally talented but also cultivated at Emperor Star Academy, had her own career, and was one of the three great beauties of Fengzhou City, completely incomparable to Zhuge Lanshan.

In the vast Fengzhou City, if there was any woman who could rival Gu Yunxi, it would be another beauty, QianShan Xue.

At the mention of this name, one would know QianShan Xue is also an icy beauty hard to approach. No one knows where QianShan Xue is from; she is very mysterious and also a student at Emperor Star Academy, having her own career in Fengzhou City.

As for Zhuge Lanshan, it seems she couldn't even hold a candle for these two.

"Ms. Gu, I am Ouyang Xiao from the Ouyang Family. I have long admired your name, and today I am fortunate to meet you here, a pleasure, a pleasure..." At this moment, Ouyang Xiao extended his right hand, stepped forward intending to shake hands with Gu Yunxi, but Gu Yunxi, wearing high heels, simply walked towards Celestial Universe International Hotel.

This scene caused a flash of malicious intent in Ouyang Xiao's eyes, but it disappeared quickly.

Seeing Zhuge Changyun and Ouyang Xiao both getting brushed off, others naturally tactfully made a path, allowing Gu Yunxi to stride into the Celestial Universe Hotel lobby in her high heels, turned a corner, and opened the door to a private room.

In this private room was none other than Murong Bai, who had just arrived. Upon seeing Gu Yunxi enter, he stood up with a smile and greeted, "Yunxi, you've arrived!"

"I came to clarify something with you: there is no possibility between us, the engagement cannot bind me!" Gu Yunxi's expression was cold, her stunning face devoid of any emotions.

"Yunxi, what's wrong, are we not well-matched?" Murong Bai's eyes showed a flash of displeasure.

"No!" Gu Yunxi shook her head, "It's because we are not kindred spirits. You are outstanding, but not my ideal partner, not now, not ever!" Gu Yunxi's voice remained as indifferent as ever.

Both of them practiced at Emperor Star Academy, and many believed they were a perfect match, especially with an engagement. However, Gu Yunxi never liked Murong Bai, even feeling a bit of aversion towards him from the bottom of her heart.

Perhaps it was due to Murong Bai's character.

...

On the other side.

Another red sports car parked in the open-air parking lot of Tianyu, naturally drawing the eyes of many young men because the owner was also one of the three great beauties of Celestial Capital, just slightly younger, only fifteen, but already developed, a captivating beauty in the making.

This girl was none other than Xiao Ziyan.

Her appearance caused a flash of malicious intent in Zhuge Changyun's eyes. He had ulterior motives for tonight's banquet, and for Xiao Ziyan, he had agreed to his sister Zhuge Lanshan's conditions.

Pa~

The car door opened, Xiao Ziyan stepped down wearing a light red long dress, walking gracefully. At fifteen, she was almost considered tall and graceful; after all, as Xiao Tianyu's sister, how could her looks be lacking, considering that Xiao Tianyu was strikingly handsome.

"Xiao Ziyan, she's here too? She's only fifteen and still developing, yet already one of the three great beauties of Fengzhou City. If fully developed, she might even surpass the other two beauties!"

"I've decided, she is the goddess I will wait for my whole life!"

"Get lost, she's mine!"

"Shameless, she's only fifteen!" said a woman nearby, glaring at the youths. They wouldn't even spare a fifteen-year-old girl, were they beasts?

Xiao Ziyan's arrival, like Gu Yunxi's, seemed to make her the main attraction here, with the young men from different families eyeing her with faintly malicious intent.

Previously, these people might have shown respect upon seeing Xiao Ziyan, but today was different because the ancestor of the Xiao Family passed away a few days ago, and the well-informed families in Fengzhou City were already aware.

The Xiao Family's ancestor was the pillar of the Xiao Family, and his death drastically lowered the Xiao Family's status in Fengzhou City. Sure, there were laws in Fengzhou City, but those laws were set by the mighty.

"Little sister, it's your turn!" At this moment, Zhuge Changyun nudged Zhuge Lanshan's clothes, and Zhuge Lanshan immediately understood, stepping forward with a smile, "Ziyan, you've come, please come inside!"

"En!" Xiao Ziyan slightly nodded, her beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings, noticing many people looking at her with faintly malicious intent, feeling a trace of disgust, she followed Zhuge Lanshan, who held her hand, smiling warmly.

"Ziyan, hello!" Upon entering the Celestial Universe International lobby, Zhuge Changyun greeted her with a smile, glancing at Xiao Ziyan's proud chest, secretly swallowing his saliva, thinking whether this woman would be his tonight?

Zhuge Changyun's plan was perfect; as long as he had Xiao Ziyan, what could the Xiao Family do? The Xiao Family today was not what it used to be, at worst, send someone to propose, and then a proper marriage, everything would be perfect.

Zhuge Changyun's plan was good, but others had the same plan in mind too.

"Your gaze is disgusting!" Xiao Ziyan said coldly, being fifteen and inexperienced, quite innocent. If it weren't for Zhuge Lanshan's birthday and her invitation, she really wouldn't want to be here.

And Zhuge Lanshan smiled lightly, "Ziyan, your beauty is outstanding, proclaimed one of the three goddesses at fifteen. My brother admires you, that's all, he has no other intentions!"

"My sister speaks the truth!" Zhuge Changyun agreed, restraining the malice in his eyes, smiling warmly like a gentleman.

Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes flickered, but she said nothing more.

Subsequently, all the guests at the banquet gathered in the living room, paired off, all young talents and beauties from noble families in Celestial Capital. Especially those women who saw Xiao Ziyan's extraordinary beauty, felt a twinge of envy as she became the female lead here.

Some women's boyfriends even couldn't take their eyes off Xiao Ziyan, imagining what kind of ravishing beauty she would become after eighteen, enough to topple nations and bring disaster, not an exaggeration.

"Is Xiao Ziyan really beautiful?"

"Yes, beautiful, hey hey hey~ why are you pinching my ear… I won't dare, really dare not, honey!"

"..."

A young man's shouting not far away caused many to smile wryly.

Xiao Ziyan naturally felt the different gazes from around, suddenly wanting to leave, if not for her friendship with Zhuge Lanshan, she would have left for sure.
