Chapter 770 (2/2)

“Why do you speak without a filter? Little Kaline didn’t change a lot but at least she’s changing. Perhaps because she hasn’t grown in such a long time, that’s why the process is slower! You can’t just talk about another person’s trauma like that…” lectured Princess Longji, though she herself seemed to make the princess more upset.

“...” The little princess was still silent.

“I guess! Little Kaline, don't worry. If you grow at this pace, you’ll be able to marry someone in five years. Then it would be just in time for Big Brother to come out. He’ll be able to officiate your wedding.” Ye Lanyu patted her little head, treating her like a child. She had forgotten that this girl was the representative of an empire.

“Big Brother…” The little princess muttered but did not speak. She looked very sad. It was an expression that should not appear on a young face like that.

While she looked young, she wasn’t actually very young anymore.

“Alright, let’s talk about that next time. Is everyone here?” PRincess Longji asked.

“Almost! Only the beastmen’s representative left…” said Ye Lanyu. “I wonder who they’ll send. It would be funny if Tai Ya comes.”

“What do you mean?” asked Longji.

“Don’t you know? Coincidentally, most of the representatives are girls today, and… everyone has had a relationship… no, everyone’s just related to Ye Lang,” said Ye Lanyu with a grin.

“What? That’s interesting!” Princess Longji’s eyes shone.

“Hehe, you’ll know when you get there!” Ye Lanyu smiled.

They’d see soon enough.

Princess Longji entered the makeshift meeting room. It was the living hall of the Ye family, an unimpressive one but would hold the meeting that would determine the future of several empires.

Of course, although she entered quickly, she did not show any kind of emotion. She was calm and composed, attracting all attention when she stepped in

Princess Longji enjoyed this attention. She was used to this too. She had always been the centre of attention. She noticed that everyone in the room was a gorgeous, elegant girl too.

Many people would want to witness a beautiful view like this one. It was a room full of girls as gorgeous as Princess Longji!

“Who are you?” a young lady asked mildly.

“I’ll introduce myself- I’m Longji from Vermilion Bird! And you all are…” Princess Longji smiled, wanting to know how these people were related to Ye Lang.

“PRincess Longji? Ye Lang’s cousin?” asked the girl.

It was obvious that she knew Longji was Ye Lang’s cousin, a person with a lot of power and influence.

The people in here were no ordinary girls!

Yet she did not seem to care about her identity, just the part that Princess Longji was Ye Lang’s cousin. This seemed to be more important.

“Yep!” Princess Longji nodded.

“Xuan Yuanbing from Sheng City!” The young lady nodded and said gently.

“The Sacred Lady! Nice to meet you. I’ve always heard that little jerk mention you but we’ve never met,” said Princess Longji immediately.

Princess Longji’s words meant that…

“It’s the same for me! I also hear him talk about you but we’ve never met!” said Xuan Yuanbing, returning the courtesy.

Yep, the people here all had deep connections with Ye Lang but hadn’t met.

But they must know each other quite well by now!

“You must be Coldblood Five, I think he likes you a lot.” At this moment, Xuan Yuanbing turned to the icy girl next to Princess Longji who hadn’t moved nor spoken.

“?!” Ye Lanyu and Princess Longji stared at Xuan Yuanbing in horror.

Even they did not know that this person was Coldblood Five, for she was in a disguise. She looked like an ordinary Coldblood member, they all covered their faces. No one would know it was her without help.

And Princess Longji did not introduce this person. Ye Lanyu and the rest thought Princess Longji had just brought a bodyguard. She was entering deep into the enemy’s territory after all.

“You can tell it’s me?” Coldblood Five did not pretend, instead took off her mask.

“Yep! Don’t forget that my heart is connected to him. I can sense his feelings towards you,” said Xuan Yuanbing mildly.

“If that’s the case, do you know how he is now?” asked Coldblood Five.

“..If I did, I wouldn’t be here talking to this woman,” signed Xuan Yuanbing, glaring at a girl sitting opposite her with hostility.

And that girl was Sha Lan.

If they weren’t here together, many wouldn’t know this was Sha Lan! Sha Lan did not know Xuan Yuanbing and Princess Longji either.

“That is a place separate from the rest of the world. Even if your souls are connected, you will not be able to sense anything,” said Sha Lan coldly. She accepted everyone’s hostile glares graciously.

“Sacred Lady, what’s his feeling towards me? Does he like me?” a girl in red next to the little princess arrived with Princess Longji and asked.

If she hadn’t spoken, they would’ve forgotten about her. Although she was a beauty, here, she was the same as everyone.

“Fei, does that question imply that you’ve fallen for my brother?” asked Ye Lanyu. The girl in red was Fei.

This time, Fei was here to protect the little princess. She was already considered a master in Ai La with Tian Level capabilities. Since she was of similar age to the little princess and a girl, she was the top choice as a bodyguard.

Fei was happy to take this mission too because she wanted to know more about Ye Lang’s situation.

“No, I just want to know what he feels about me. I think he hates me.” Fei shook her head. From her tone, there was no extra emotion, just a friend asking about a friend.

“Uh… It’s true he doesn’t really like you but I don’t think it’s hate…” said Xuan Yuanbing embarrassedly. She didn’t want or like to lie.

“I knew it!” Fei grind. She had expected this, she wasn’t disappointed.

“Third Brother, this is getting too weird! We should excuse ourselves and let them talk first!” Seventh Brother, who was supposed to greet every representative, suddenly realised it felt more like a fathering of Ye Lang’s friends.

“Yeah, we should!” Third Brother nodded and prepared to leave.

Third and Seventh Brother were leaders of the Ye family’s military. They had already received the baton from the previous generation, hence they must attend this meeting.

“Where do you think you’re going?! Also, let’s talk business now. Let’s not talk about Ye Lang, you have plenty of time for that later.” Sha Lan frowned as she looked at everyone.

“Fine, let’s get down to business! I think we should talk about the war. Continuing the war isn’t going to benefit anyone at this point,” said Princess Longji, looking at Sha Lan.

“I think so too! We must stop the war for the moment!” said Sha Lan. Her suggestion was very confusing.

Initially, everyone thought Soaring Sky would never stop the war so easily. From the current political situation, they were almost done swallowing the entire mainland. They shouldn’t be backing down now.
