The sister who traveled through time wants to dominate the other world and become the empress!
Chapter 125 Shen Ran apologizes
The different voices and tones of the address were particularly solemn. It turned out that the people who were bowing to Xu An were Liu Yu, Senior Brother Lei, Senior Brother Yu, Liu Yixiao and Zhu Yu. Even Asu Pei Ye was present, but he had an indifferent expression, remained silent, and bowed with great dissatisfaction.
His salute made Xu An laugh. This was the first time he had seen this man salute, except for clasping his fists in front of the emperor.
Regardless of his expression, his movements are quite standard, so he knows everything and can do everything, but he just has to act cool.
Ah Su Pei Ye, Ah Su Pei Ye, I didn't expect that you, the high and mighty prince, would have to salute no matter how reluctant you are, and salute me.
Thinking of this, Xu An couldn't help but smile, feeling the pleasure of having completely defeated his irreconcilable enemy.
"No need to be polite, we are all acquaintances. When I was on my way here, I saw that the entire Hanyue Pavilion seemed to be filled with disciples from the sect?"
"Princess, yes. Shen Ran is holding a banquet today to celebrate the princess's promotion, to celebrate the princess's marriage, and to entertain fellow disciples."
Shen Ran responded respectfully and was very humble. Her words implied that the banquet was held for Xu An. However, Xu An felt that this was not true. If the banquet was held for her, why did she invite all the disciples of the sect to be the guests? She knew that some things were known to everyone in the sect. Could it be that this banquet was held just to make fun of her?
Well, Xu An wanted to see what kind of show this was. Why were people like Asu and Pei Ye invited? It was really weird.
"Then you have a heart."
Xu Anwei turned his head and smiled at Shen Ran. Seeing that there were still four empty seats at the table, he raised his eyes and walked forward to sit down. "Everyone, sit down. It's time to eat and drink."
There are four positions, and it seems that one of them belongs to Yan Muyi.
Everyone sat down awkwardly, the atmosphere was extremely awkward, at this time, Senior Brother Lei took the lead to pick up a piece of fish with chopsticks, Senior Brother Yu paused holding the wine glass, and deliberately looked at him with a sidelong glance. Asu Peiye lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was doing in his hands.
Xu An narrowed his eyes and smiled, "No need to be so polite, everyone please feel free to do as you please."
At this time, Ze An beside her slowly picked up the water chestnuts and put them in her bowl, and said in a very gentle and tender voice: "This will definitely suit your taste."
Xu An tilted her head towards him and nodded. Her eyes were soft, her cheeks were rosy, her lips were red and her eyes were bright. She was so beautiful.
"Tsk, what's so delicious about that. Come, try the shrimps that I peeled myself." As he said that, Asu Pei Ye waved his hand and cast a spell to send the freshly peeled shrimps in the bowl to Xu An's bowl. He looked at Ze An with disdain and sneered.
Last time, Xu An didn’t eat the shrimp he peeled, and he remembered it for a long time.
When he did this, the corners of Xu An's smiling lips suddenly pursed.
This man won’t poison me, will he?
Just as he was thinking, he hesitated and picked it up. Ze'an handed his bowl of soup to Xu An, and then pushed the bowl of shrimp aside. "It's a bit cold on the way, warm it up first."
After saying that, Ze'an raised his eyes and stared at Asu Pei Ye, his lips slightly curled, his eyes brightened, and a hint of joy appeared at the corners of his eyebrows.
His arrogant look made Asu Pei Ye feel sulky. He raised his chin and closed his eyes, and the chopsticks in his hand trembled a little.
Xu An naturally took the soup and tasted it with confidence.
It was quite lively downstairs, but their table was extremely quiet, and there was even a bit of tension from time to time.
The maids behind them were tactful and stepped forward to fill the glasses for the guests. Xiaoyu at the side took the lead and poured Xu An the prepared herbal tea. "Miss."
Xu An picked up the wine glass with a smile and looked up, "Three brothers, it's been a long time since we last met. Today we are fortunate to be together. I, Xu An, would like to offer you a glass. Thank you for the care of the sect."
"Princess, what are you talking about? You are both a princess and a goddess. It is our honor to sit with you. I will drink first as a sign of respect."
Senior Brother Yu smiled happily and drank the cup. He was very clear about some things, so his attitude towards Xu An was naturally kind and reasonable.
Zhu Yu, who was standing at the side, saw Xu An smiling like a flower at first. There was no one else in his eyes. "There's nothing to thank me for, Xu An. You haven't recovered yet. Drink less."
Although he spoke seriously, his eyes were full of emotion. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the love in his eyes, especially the sight that never left Xu An, which was too obvious.
"Zhu Yu, how can you call Princess Shen Yue by her name? This is disrespectful."
Senior Brother Lei had a stern face and a somewhat reprimanding tone. Although he said so, he did not take Xu An seriously in his heart.
"Hey, Senior Brother Lei, I don't think it's a big deal. Zhu Yu and I have known each other for a long time and we are engaged, so it's okay to call me by my name."
"Zhu Langjun, please take care of me in this life."
Xu An would never listen to other people's advice. When he was in the sect, Lei Shen always looked arrogant. Not only did he whip Yan Mu with cruel methods, but he also couldn't tell right from wrong.
She replied gently, this sentence was undoubtedly to protect Zhu Yu, and told everyone clearly that Zhu Yu and she were in love with each other.
Zhu Yu's heart was filled with joy as Xu An openly doted on him, especially when she called him "husband" in front of everyone. If this wasn't favoritism, what was it?
Senior Brother Lei had an ugly look on his face. If it were in the past, he would have criticized Xu An, but now Xu An was Mu An's princess, a goddess. Even if he looked down on her, he had to hold his anger.
In response to Xu An's toast, he didn't say a word and just started drinking.
Xu An saw through his behavior. Wasn't it just that he looked down on her? Even though she became a princess and a goddess, he still had that expression.
Senior Brother Yu smiled knowingly and said, "It seems that my rotten wooden junior brother can only be carved by you, Princess." Then he looked at Zhu Yu and said, "You are so lucky."
"Your Highness, I'll toast to you. I hope Your Highness will love me more after we get married."
Who else but Asu Pei Ye could have made such an inappropriate and ambiguous statement?
Seeing Xu An protecting Zhu Yu like this and calling him so affectionately, he suddenly felt jealous and had to find a sense of existence.
Ze An coughed lightly, and without waiting for Xu An to say anything, he put the cloak beside him on her, and murmured gently: "The wind is a bit strong, don't catch a cold."
With all this happening, Xu An didn't know what to say.
Just as the weird atmosphere and the smell of gunpowder filled the air, Shen Ran suddenly stood up and saluted Xu An, "Princess Shen Yue, Master, Uncle Master, Shen Ran is holding a banquet today for a special matter."
Xu An was wondering why Shen Ran held the banquet, and when he was at a loss for words, Shen Ran spoke.
She bowed, lowered her head slightly, and said in a nervous tone: "Shen Ran cheated in the previous sect martial arts competition. I used the imperial magic powder to seal Yan Muyi's spiritual roots. I wanted to get the Fu Shuang Qin, so..."
Although she hesitated to speak, everyone understood her meaning clearly.
Senior Brother Lei was stunned, his face full of anger. He never expected that his disciple actually cheated in the assessment?
Suddenly, he slapped the wine glass and angrily rebuked: "You! You are a princess, and you cheated?! I don't have a disciple like you!"
"Master, Shen Ran knows he was wrong."
Senior Brother Yu patted his shoulder with a soothing look, "Brother Lei, don't be angry. No matter what, Shen Ran is still third even if she didn't cheat. She will still take you as her master. She is still your disciple."
This was not the point. Senior Brother Lei did not recover for a moment. In an instant, he seemed to have thought of something and pressed his eyes, "Brother Yu, what do you mean by this? If she hadn't cheated, she would have been second-rate."
As soon as he finished speaking, a questioning voice came from the pavilion, "Second class? But I remember Xu An was first class."
Hearing the voice, Xu An looked up and saw a handsome man in a brown and black brocade robe, with broad shoulders and a straight figure like a pine tree. His dark green hair was half tied up, and he wore a jade crown on his head. His eyebrows were sharp but his lips were smiling.
"Greetings to the Third Prince."
Except for Xu An, Ze An, and Asu Peiye, everyone bowed and Zhu Yu also bowed with everyone else.
"Xu An, this is the candied fruit I bought from your favorite shop." The person who spoke was Yan Muyi. He walked straight towards Xu An, and the sharpness between his brows suddenly turned into a smile, "No need to be polite, sit down."
"Are you cold?" He sat down beside Xu An, held her hand, his eyes full of concern.
Xu An smiled and shook her head. How could she be cold? Even sparks were about to fly in this scene.
Ze An reached out to scoop up a bowl of chicken soup, and as he did so he jokingly said, "If I remember correctly, the Third Prince participated in the martial arts competition as Master Yan, and only got third place? Now that we know that the Princess cheated, shouldn't the Third Prince be second place? Then the first place should indeed be Xu An."
After he finished talking, he served the soup and brought it to Xu An with a smile.
Yan Muyi raised his hand and picked up a walnut, peeling it with a smile, and replied: "Brother Ze remembers it very clearly, I wonder if I am wrong? What do you think, Princess Liyang, Imperial Censor Zhu."
Their words made Senior Brother Lei frown and his mouth sank slightly, but then he smiled mockingly, "The Third Prince has forgotten that Princess Shen Yue cheated at that time."
"Brother Lei, do you think the title of Goddess was picked up?"
This sentence hit the nail on the head, and it brought the stubborn Senior Brother Lei back from his thoughts like an epiphany.
At this time, Zhu Yu stood up and saluted, "Senior Brother Lei, Senior Brother Yu, Xu An did not cheat that day. It was all my fault. I gave Shen Ran that packet of magic powder, and I was the one who asked her to target the third prince."
"Zhu Yu, why are you like this?" Senior Brother Lei was so angry that his face turned red. He felt extremely surprised. In the end, this was all planned by his own junior brother?
"Brother, I have actually already had a crush on Xu An, but the Third Prince was so close to her that I became jealous, so I severely injured him during the assessment. I planned all of this, and Shen Ran was just my pawn."
"I also fabricated the story of Xu An cheating. I used other people's spiritual arts to seal her spiritual roots, so the power she exploded was arranged by me, and she cannot be used again in a short period of time. The reason I did this was to possess her alone. I already knew that she was a goddess, and goddesses of all generations had to form a pact with their protectors. I'm sure you all know what forming a pact means."
"There is no impenetrable wall in this world. I couldn't let other Yushi know her identity. I didn't want her to form a pact with others, so I lied. I made up a lie about her cheating in order to conceal her identity as a goddess. Therefore, all this is my fault. Xu An, I'm sorry, I was too extreme. I just wanted to possess you alone, but I hurt you."
Zhu Yu acted apologetically as he spoke, and even his eyes were filled with regret.
Xu An was stunned when she heard this. She knew he was talking nonsense. She clenched her fists, lowered her eyes, gritted her teeth, and trembled, "Zhu Yu, I misjudged you."
She choked up with emotion, her face darkened, and she trembled as she said, "So you've been lying to me all along. It was you who asked Shen Ran to seal Yan Muyi's spiritual roots. You explained to me that you didn't want to take me in as your disciple because you saw that I had feelings for Yan Muyi, and you were so sad that you turned your love into hate and didn't want to see me. You lied and expelled me from the sect."
"I didn't expect that the truth would be like this..."
She looked up, tears welling up in her eyes, her face full of disappointment, "For your own selfish reasons, you lied to me again and again, right?"
"Xu An, I was wrong... But now, haven't we talked it out? You said you wouldn't abandon me, no matter what I did behind your back."
Zhu Yu was also talking nonsense, and when he heard Ze An and the others clenched their fists in anger, if he had not explained the reasons why Xu An was unconscious during those days, the scene would probably be a mess now.
Xu An was almost unable to continue acting in this scene. She was making up stories on the spot and it was funny to think that she had said these words herself.
"Shen Ran is wrong, please punish me, Princess."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ran knelt down beside her, which made Xu An at a loss. The grief and anger she had just built up were suppressed in an instant, and she quickly raised her hand to pull her up.
"Shen Ran, what are you doing? Even though you are wrong, how can you kneel here? You are a princess, get up quickly."
Xu An muttered softly. She didn't expect Shen Ran to be so disregarding of face and kneel down in front of so many people. No matter what, she was still a princess and couldn't lose face.
However, since she had done this, Xu An was more or less relieved.
The proud girl who is admired by everyone can put aside her pride when she makes a mistake, admit her mistake generously and turn over a new leaf. This emotional value is enough for Xu An.
Of course, this matter cannot be let go so easily. Even if she has specially apologized and explained everything clearly now, she should still take responsibility for what she did wrong.
"Shen Ran, I won't punish you for anything else. You just need to explain clearly in front of all the disciples. And you, Zhu Yu, you should clear my name."
Xu Anke is not a saint nor a demanding person. She just wants fairness, which is not too much.
"You just let her go like that?"
A cold male voice suddenly popped out. Asu Peiye propped up his chin and looked at Shen Ran with cold eyes. "She seemed to have almost killed you at that time, right?"
