If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have thought?
One day, Feng Luohan and Princess Huo Linger, this pair of beauties from the Feng and Huo clans, would actually lock horns over a man?
This was truly an eye-opener for them.
But what left everyone speechless was that the male Prodigies present couldn't even bring themselves to be jealous!
If it had been Lu Yuan, everyone would have thought it was a toad lusting after a swan.
But with Jun Xiaoyao, no one had any complaints!
Because even they were filled with admiration for Jun Xiaoyao!
His strength was unfathomable, his mastery of the Dao of the zither was divine, and his appearance and temperament were beyond compare!
Even Huo Xuan, who had always harbored affection for Feng Luohan, could only offer a bitter smile at the sight.
He had truly lost, but he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.
If it had been someone like Lu Yuan, Huo Xuan naturally would not have accepted it.
But because it was Jun Xiaoyao, everyone felt it was harmonious, perfectly normal, and there was nothing wrong with it.
They did not feel that Jun Xiaoyao was aiming above his station with Feng Luohan.
A woman worthy of Jun Xiaoyao "aiming high" did not exist in this world.
Huo Xuan even thought, if Jun Xiaoyao truly possessed that kind of peerless Physique from the ages,
then perhaps it was Feng Luohan who was aiming high for Jun Xiaoyao!
Of course, if Huo Xuan knew of Jun Xiaoyao's true identity and background,
such as his connection to the ultimate power, the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace,
then Huo Xuan would definitely think that Feng Luohan was the one aiming high for Jun Xiaoyao!
...
The birthday banquet came to an end.
No one expected to see such a spectacular show at the birthday banquet.
Originally, Lu Yuan should have been the one playing the pig to eat the tiger, stunning everyone.
Not only was he not foolish, but he could even faintly suppress Huo Xuan.
But unfortunately, Jun Xiaoyao was there.
Lu Yuan's brilliance was not only completely overshadowed,
but he was also left in a sorry state, becoming the laughingstock of the crowd.
After the birthday banquet ended,
Jun Xiaoyao, at the invitation of Feng Luohan, temporarily stayed behind to teach her zither music.
Although Princess Huo Linger had her reservations, fearing that Feng Luohan, like her, harbored ulterior motives toward her Master,
she was ultimately not that kind of willful person and did not rudely intervene.
As for Lu Yuan, he was casually arranged into a small attic by the people of the Feng Clan.
This made Lu Yuan's expression even colder.
However, his main priority now was to recover from his injuries.
After all, that was Chaos True Fire, and the injuries it caused were not minor.
Meanwhile, Jun Xiaoyao was taken by Feng Luohan to a private location.
It was her private place for secluded cultivation.
The mountains were spiritual and the waters beautiful, with vibrant flowers, abundant Spiritual Qi, and stunning scenery.
"This place is quite in harmony with the Concept of High Mountains and Flowing Water," Jun Xiaoyao said with a calm smile.
"Naturally. A good zither must be paired with good scenery. When the zither and the scenery harmonize, one can better glimpse the mysteries within the music."
Feng Luohan's stunning face wore an elegant smile.
Following that, the two played zither music together.
After some teaching, Feng Luohan was surprised once again.
She only then realized that the skill Jun Xiaoyao had shown at the birthday banquet was truly just a mere glimpse of his ability.
His cultivation in the Dao of the zither was far more extraordinary than what he had previously displayed, leaving Feng Luohan filled with admiration.
Furthermore, Jun Xiaoyao's vision and eloquence were impeccable.
Feng Luohan felt as if she had met a kindred spirit.
After all, she was also a woman who enjoyed elegance.
And Jun Xiaoyao was simply synonymous with elegance.
His appearance, temperament, eloquence, and knowledge were simply perfect to the extreme, impeccable.
Feng Luohan didn't even know when such a peerless figure had appeared in the Shanhai Star Realm.
If there had been, it should have caused a sensation throughout the entire Star Realm long ago.
This, undoubtedly, added a few more layers of mysterious temperament to Jun Xiaoyao.
With all these conditions combined, it possessed a fatal attraction for women.
No matter how elegant and noble Feng Luohan was, she was ultimately just a woman.
Under these circumstances,
Feng Luohan and Jun Xiaoyao played the zither and drank tea, enjoying themselves with elegance and comfort.
On the contrary, Lu Yuan, who had a marriage agreement with Feng Luohan, remained all alone, neglected in the small attic.
The Feng Clan people didn't even give him any healing medicine.
This made it difficult for Lu Yuan to maintain that detached calmness.
For him, this was a belittlement, a humiliation!
Soon, seven days passed.
Jun Xiaoyao prepared to return to the Huo Clan.
Upon his departure, Feng Luohan felt a sense of lingering reluctance.
Being with Jun Xiaoyao was truly very relaxing, natural, comfortable, and pleasant.
It was the first time she had experienced such a feeling.
In her view, most other men were vulgar, filthy, and made of mud.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, seemed to be the only one who emerged from the mud unstained, pleasing to the eye.
"Interacting with Heavenly Lady Feng is indeed a pleasant experience. Let us meet again if there is an opportunity," Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.
There was a hint of reluctance in Feng Luohan's eyes.
She didn't know if she was reluctant to part with Jun Xiaoyao, or reluctant to part with this feeling of meeting a kindred spirit.
Or perhaps it was both.
She hesitated slightly, then couldn't help but part her lips and say: "Young Master Jun, Luohan has a question in her heart."
"Oh, feel free to speak," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Can I be considered a kindred spirit of Young Master Jun?" Feng Luohan asked.
The sound of her heartbeat was incredibly clear.
Jun Xiaoyao paused, then said calmly: "Of course."
After saying this, Jun Xiaoyao gave a slight nod and left.
A sweet smile curled at the corners of Feng Luohan's lips.
Is this what is meant by meeting a kindred spirit amidst high mountains and flowing water?
...
Jun Xiaoyao left the Feng Clan.
His expression was extremely calm, without a ripple.
Although Feng Luohan was an elegant and intelligent woman,
Jun Xiaoyao did not have the slightest hint of being moved.
A woman who could make him fall in love at first sight basically did not exist.
Jun Xiaoyao did not have that so-called love brain.
All of his actions had a purpose and a plan.
Regarding Feng Luohan, whom he had met for the first time, Jun Xiaoyao only wanted to use her to keep Lu Yuan in check, nothing more.
Now, his goal had been achieved.
"A Shen Cangming, a Lu Yuan, what else will they bring me next?"
Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself in his heart.
He had always suspected whether the yet-to-emerge Successor of the Heavenly Emperor was in the Origin Universe.
Now, although he had encountered a Son of Destiny,
he was still not certain.
That Shen Cangming should have nothing to do with the so-called Successor of the Heavenly Emperor; at most, he possessed a certain amount of Luck and had an old man possessing him.
As for that Lu Yuan...
His background was unknown, and he had a faint, elusive aura of a Fate Nihilist on him.
Logically speaking, it was indeed possible that he was the Successor of the Heavenly Emperor.
But Jun Xiaoyao always felt it wasn't that simple.
The Successor of the Heavenly Emperor was deep and unrevealing.
Judging by Lu Yuan's performance, it was a bit underwhelming.
It didn't quite match that mysterious Successor of the Heavenly Emperor.
"Could it be that Lu Yuan himself has not fully recovered his memories?"
Jun Xiaoyao thought of this point.
There was indeed this possibility.
If that was the case, then it would be interesting.
Lu Yuan should still have many things worth exploring.
"What kind of existence is the Successor of the Heavenly Emperor? Could it be that they are, like me, a so-called Transmigrator?"
A Fate Nihilist transcends heaven and earth; only those who do not belong to this world could possibly be one.
Jun Xiaoyao believed that he should be able to uncover more secrets from Lu Yuan.
