"Brother, are you going to a banquet?" Ji Xuan looked at his good brother with a gloating expression.

Ji Yuan glanced at him indifferently, without making any extra movements, but it made Ji Xuan stiffen all over and unconsciously stand up straight with his hands pressed tightly against his pants.

"Hehe, bro, I'm off now."

Ji Yuan calmly lowered his eyes and continued to tidy his clothes, remaining completely silent throughout.

As night falls, all things begin to return to calm.

Outside the royal city, the night was cool and clear, and even those sordid criminal thoughts gradually subsided, lurking in the shadows.

Within the royal city, envoys from all directions came to pay tribute, guests from all corners of the land; the city was in full bloom, its lights twinkling.

I heard that His Majesty and Queen of the Federation insisted on Marshal Ji's attendance at today's banquet. Many girls with beautiful fantasies dressed up carefully, intending to stun the audience, and even more so, to stun that almost perfect man.

"Brother, do I look good like this?" A delicate young woman looked at the young man beside her with a slightly nervous expression.

Sami glanced at it briefly and nodded perfunctorily: "It's very beautiful."

Sarah didn't notice the perfunctory tone in her brother's voice and excitedly imagined the banquet that night.

Sami glanced at his younger sister, somewhat helplessly: Jiyuan is a role model for the younger generation, shining as brightly as a star. How could he possibly be interested in his sister?

Unfortunately, her younger sister has no self-awareness whatsoever. Not only does she not try to improve her inner strength, but she also knows how to show off and flaunt her power everywhere. If Jiyuan really takes a liking to her, the entire Federation would probably oppose it.

Sami stepped into the banquet hall. The banquet had not yet started, but beautifully dressed girls and handsome men in suits could be seen everywhere.

Before long, His Majesty Joyce of the Federation entered with Queen Jiwen. After a speech, the banquet began.

Sarah's eyes kept glancing towards the door, trying to find the figure of the person she longed for, but she caught a glimpse of a girl standing to the side who was also frequently looking towards the door.

Nangong Li, the daughter of the Star Lord of Mingjian, one of the six guardian satellites of the Federation, is also deeply in love with Jiyuan. Unlike Sarah's overly straightforward and flamboyant style, Nangong Li appears excessively gentle, like a harmless little rabbit.

A rabbit's skin, a viper's heart—Sarah gained nothing from her.

Their eyes met, and they were both sizing each other up, each feeling that the other was less beautiful than themselves, and each reading scrutiny and disdain in the other's eyes.

The two were secretly vying with each other from a distance when one of them said, "Marshal Ji is here."

Instantly, almost all the ladies in the room craned their necks, hoping that the man would come in through the door and see them; the men in the room also secretly looked forward to seeing the hero of the battlefield.

Before long, the group met their marshal.

Today, Jiyuan has shed his black, somber military uniform and donned a Federation uniform.

The white suit was impeccably tailored, outlining the man's long, slender legs. It was trimmed with gold, the gold thread flowing upwards and stopping abruptly at the man's Adam's apple, disappearing into nothingness.

His excessively handsome features were cold and aloof, his thin lips slightly pursed, and his short black hair swayed gently with his movements, inexplicably softening the murderous aura he had cultivated over years of combat. The cufflinks on his sleeves gleamed with a dark gold light, which, combined with his hands with their distinct knuckles and palpable sexuality, created a visual feast.

Sarah felt incredibly proud and honored to see the man she had been longing for so dazzling and handsome.

Just now, Ji Yuan seemed to have glanced at her, which made Sarah extremely happy. At least it meant that Ji Yuan had feelings for her, so her efforts to publicize her love for him were not in vain.

While she was immersed in her beautiful fantasies about the future, Nangong Li took immediate action.

Ji Yuan intended to just go through the motions, make an appearance, and then use the excuse of being busy with military affairs to slip away. However, there were always some brainless individuals who bothered him.

"Marshal Ji, I have long admired you. May I ask how you have been lately?" With her affected posture, coy movements, and deliberately seductive voice, Ji Yuan looked at the girl in front of him and remained silent for a little while.

Before he could react, Sarah's sharp voice abruptly cut in: "So who are you trying to impress?"

The two girls were arguing fiercely in front of everyone.

Suddenly, Jiyuan realized that these affected aristocratic women weren't entirely without merit.

At least, they gave him a perfectly good reason to go yo-yo.

Thinking of this, Jiyuan turned to His Majesty Joyce and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. There are many affairs in the army, and I have just returned from the front lines. I really need to rest. This place is too noisy. I hope Your Majesty will allow me to go home and rest."

The Federation's God of War is far more important than these lazy nobles. Joyce nodded: "Alright, you can go back now."

While they were still exchanging sarcastic remarks, someone had already sneaked away.
