The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

In the afternoon, in front of Zui Xiang Lou, Jiang Yingxue and Shen Yun said goodbye.

After returning to the room, Jiang Yingxue immediately turned on the system.

[Jiang Yingxue]: Can I activate the next power now?

[System]: Of course, host, please choose.

[B. Everyone is strong] [C. Want to see the world from afar*3]

After that day, Jiang Yingxue pondered these two options.

She didn't know what "each one has a strong spirit" meant, but the next sentence after "reaching a thousand miles" was "reaching a higher level." She thought it meant strengthening certain skills.

[Jiang Yingxue]: I choose C.

System: [Congratulations to the host for unlocking the content of "To see a thousand miles away, climb three levels higher": After obtaining this power, your cultivation can be directly promoted by three levels.]

It turned out to be similar to what Jiang Yingxue thought.

[Jiang Yingxue]: I am currently in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. If I jump three levels, can I directly break through to the early stage of the Spirit Transformation stage?

System: Oh, then you may have misunderstood. Jumping three levels means jumping directly from the Nascent Soul stage to the Fusion stage.

【Jiang Yingxue】:! ?

Jiang Yingxue: You, you, you...are you serious? Seriously? That's the fusion stage!

[System]: The God will not lie to you, but you must complete the task.

[Jiang Yingxue]: What mission?

[System]: You must protect the eight great families of Canglan Kingdom at the banquet tomorrow night without summoning the Ice Dragon. Not a single heir must die.

[Jiang Yingxue]: What do you mean?

Jiang Yingxue quickly recalled the conversation between Chu Ying and Cen Yizi after they received the note that day.

Jiang Yingxue: Are they in danger? Someone wants to assassinate the king tomorrow night?

[System]: I can only convey the task, and I can’t say anything else.

All right...

Jiang Yingxue looked out the window. The colorful clouds in the twilight dyed half the sky red, like an overturned rouge box.

She took a deep breath, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the Xianyun Sect badge on her waist.

Now that Shen Yun has returned to Yun Kingdom, if he wants to enter the palace again, he can only rely on Chu Ying and others.

The badge can be used to send messages, but it has a distance limit. She is currently too far from the palace to contact the other party, unless...

"We have to go to the palace wall."

She muttered to herself, pinched her fingertips and the badge on her waist glowed faintly, but soon dimmed.

Time waits for no one, she turned around and was about to walk out, the hem of her skirt drawing an arc in the twilight.

"Where are you going, Junior Sister?" Yan Chuan's voice came from behind him. After repeated confirmation from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he had reluctantly accepted his new identity, but the word "Junior Sister" still sounded a little unfamiliar.

"I want to enter the palace."

Jiang Yingxue didn't stop, but was pulled by Yan Chuan. His palm was warm and had some calluses on it.

"Are you here to get the Soul Lamp for me?" There was some hesitation in his voice.

"That's one of them."

"But this is Canglan Country. How do you plan to enter the palace? Do you have a plan?"

"I'll contact Chu Ying first, and then find a solution."

"Wait a minute." Yan Chuan clutched her sleeve tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white: "I'll go with you."

"How can you come with me in your current state? We finally found you and we can't let you get hurt again. Come with me."

Jiang Yingxue took Yan Chuan to the next yard and brought him to the room next to the master's meditation room: "Stay in this room until I come back. The master is next door. If you encounter any danger, find him. Wait here for me and don't run around, understand?"

After saying that, Jiang Yingxue closed the door without saying anything, leaving Yan Chuan alone in the room.

Elsewhere, in the Imperial Palace's Hall of Supreme Harmony, the atmosphere was both lively and oppressive. Although Chu Ying and Cen Yizi were invited to the banquet, they felt uneasy every moment.

These days, they were like idle spectators, immersed in the luxurious banquet of the palace, enjoying themselves on the surface but full of worries in their hearts.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is magnificent and golden. The palace pillars are covered with exquisite carvings, and the golden dragon patterns in the depths are like living creatures, hovering above them.

In the center of the palace, several dancers in gorgeous costumes danced lightly, their figures graceful and their clothes fluttering like clouds.

At the long tables on either side, officials and heirs of the Canglan Kingdom gathered together, dressed in exquisite court robes, their expressions ranging from relaxed to solemn. The sounds of chatter and laughter mingled, yet the atmosphere seemed subtly apathetic.

Chu Ying and Cen Yizhi sat closest to the throne, a position they shouldn't have occupied. However, the king had placed the eight great families near him, claiming it was a sign of respect.

During these few days, they hardly talked about any serious business, but spent the whole day eating, drinking and having fun in this magnificent palace.

There are delicious meals every day and wonderful performances every moment.

Whenever they asked the king about his intentions, he would always smile and not answer, even saying casually, "We'll talk about it when the eight great families are gathered. Right now, the most important thing is to enjoy ourselves, relax, drink and have fun."

However, the more they saw the king behave extravagantly, the heavier the burden on Chu Ying and Cen Yizi's hearts became.

Chu Ying lowered her voice and leaned close to Cen Yizi's ear: "What on earth is the king doing... I really don't understand why he is going to such great lengths to please us."

Cen Yizi lowered his head and covered his face, saying uncomfortably: "Chu Ying, can you help me get rid of these girls around me first..."

Oh, Chu Ying forgot again that Cen Yizi is not good at dealing with strangers, especially women.

"Sisters, please go dance somewhere else and don't come to our table."

The king was somewhat displeased when he heard Chu Ying's words: "Young Master Chu, it is a man's nature to like beautiful women. I am doing this for the good of Young Master Cen. Why are you driving them away?"

Chu Ying was stunned for a moment and laughed awkwardly. After all, the other party was the king of a country. How could she dare to refute him?

The king took a look, pondered for a moment, and then laughed as if realizing something. "I see. You must be upset because you saw that the young master of the Cen family has a beauty and you don't. Don't worry, our Canglan Kingdom is vast and rich in resources. Who wouldn't be without it?"

After saying this, the king smiled triumphantly, then glanced at a palace maid beside him. The maid immediately understood and clapped her hands.

Immediately afterwards, several shirtless men walked in.

Each of them was tall and powerful, with well-defined muscles, and they walked with a sense of strength. And despite their burly bodies, each man had an unusually delicate face.

Fine product, indeed fine product.

"Come, all of you, serve our Chu family's young master well!"

Chu Ying was stunned when she saw a group of young men walking towards her.

She had never seen such a "spectacular" scene in her life, and her nose almost bled.
