How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Li Muyun looked at Li Tianci and said, "I said the wedding is canceled because I disagree! Now, am I qualified?"

Immortals have limitless potential and their status is incomparable. Now that Li Muyun wants to protect his maid, who dares to say anything?

Even if Marquis Tiantu knew, he would only be delighted that his manor had gained an immortal.

Li Tianci's expression was extremely ugly. He could hardly believe that Li Muyun, this filthy bastard, actually had the aptitude to become an immortal!

A malice flashed in Liu Ruyue's eyes as she coldly said, "How dare you! You actually dare to impersonate an immortal and disrupt the wedding! Rong Mama, kill this brat immediately!"

Everyone was shocked. The Second Madam was indeed ruthless. Regardless of whether Li Muyun's ascension to immortality was real or not, as long as he was killed on the spot, the Marquis would not blame the Second Madam, who had the Liu family behind her, for a dead bastard.

Li Tianci immediately roared, "You, Li Muyun, impersonating an immortal and disrupting the grand ceremony at the Tiantu Marquis's mansion, are guilty of a capital offense! Kill him!"

Rong Momo sneered, her true energy erupting and suddenly attacking. She struck out with a palm towards Li Muyun, causing his clothes to flutter violently. The force of her palm was immense, revealing her to be a martial artist at the Earthly Realm!

Li Muyun frowned, surprised that Liu Ruyue and her son were so vicious, actually trying to kill him. However, he was no longer a helpless fool. As he retreated, he channeled all his true energy into the black iron needles, preparing to test their power.

Just then, a burly figure appeared and seemingly effortlessly struck out with his palm, colliding with Rong Mama.

Rong Momo's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she retreated rapidly, taking ten steps back before nearly falling to the ground.

Liu Ruyue's gaze turned cold. "Wu Wudi, what do you mean?"

Wu Wudi said casually, "Second Madam, Young Master Yun is, after all, a descendant of the Marquis, and now he has even gained a connection with the immortals. What you are doing is inappropriate."

Looking at Wu Wudi's resolute and ferocious face, Liu Ruyue's eyes were filled with a chilling coldness. "I told you, this little bastard is an imposter immortal, and he must be eliminated today. Wu Wudi, are you going to make an enemy of my Liu family for him?"

Upon hearing the name "Liu Family," Wu Wudi frowned slightly. The weight of the Tang Dynasty's premier merchant guild made him hesitate. He had offered his assistance only because, if Li Muyun truly was an immortal, he might become an asset to the Marquis in the future. However, now that the Second Madam was threatening him with the Liu Family, if the Marquis lost the support of the Green Willow Merchant Guild because of Li Muyun, it would be a net loss.

Just as the two sides were at a standoff, a maid rushed in, knelt on the ground, and said breathlessly, "Reporting...Reporting to Second Madam, Princess Miaochan has arrived and says...says she wants to visit Young Master Yun."

Those present were stunned upon hearing this. Princess Miaochan was going to visit Young Master Yun?

Princess Miaochan is the most beloved adopted daughter of the current emperor and one of the three beauties in the capital. She is often rewarded by the emperor and empress dowager, and entering and leaving the palace is as easy as going home.

Moreover, Princess Miaochan was granted the authority to manage the Royal Merchant Guild, which was the largest royal treasury besides the national treasury.

Such a noble princess actually came to visit Li Muyun?

Liu Ruyue's face turned pale and then flushed, and she couldn't help but reveal murderous intent in her eyes.

Not only did Li Muyun have a connection with immortals, but he also somehow befriended Princess Miaochan, that damned little bastard!

"Second Madam, Princess Miaochan's arrival is an honor that the Marquis's residence must bestow upon her. As for the Princess's visit to Young Master Yun, any minor matters should be discussed after we have received her." Yuan Wuji smiled slightly, gently waving his feather fan, and stood before Li Muyun together with Wu Wudi.

Liu Ruyue's face turned even uglier. Yuan Wuji and Wu Wudi were the heads of the Marquis's mansion in both civil and military affairs, and now they were actually willing to protect Li Muyun. Moreover, the princess had specifically asked to see Li Muyun, so she couldn't bring herself to kill him.

Liu Ruyue composed herself and said with a forced smile, "Princess Miaochan's status is extraordinary, and you must be courteous. Li Muyun, since you like this little lowly maid, then keep her. Such a lowly status is not worthy of Tianci."

Li Tianci said unwillingly, "Mother, if we miss today..."

Liu Ruyue interrupted, "I don't believe a piece of trash can suddenly become an immortal. The Elephant Dance Ceremony is in a few months. At that time, whether it's true or not, we'll have a challenge and a competition."

Li Tianci understood Liu Ruyue's meaning and glared fiercely at Li Muyun, saying, "You little bastard, I will personally challenge you with the power of the dancing elephant. I am currently at the seventh level of Martial Apprentice, and I might even break through to the ninth level by the end of the year. I don't care if you are a cripple or an immortal, I will personally crush your bones!"

Li Muyun lazily raised his eyes, too lazy to even acknowledge him, and turned to walk towards Xiao Rou.

Li Tianci gritted his teeth in anger, wishing he could teach Li Muyun a lesson right now.

Approaching Xiao Rou, Li Muyun tossed the red veil to the ground, took Xiao Rou's hand, whose face was already streaked with tears, and whispered, "Young Master will take you home."

Xiao Rou nodded emphatically, a smile appearing on her pretty face, which was streaked with tears.

Li Muyun turned to Yuan Wuji and Wu Wudi and bowed, saying, "Thank you both for today, Uncles. I will remember this."

They both nodded with smiles.

Princess Miaochan's arrival was a grand affair, with the entire Marquis's residence burning incense to clear the way and preparing a lavish banquet.

Li Muyun knew this spoiled princess was of noble birth, but he hadn't expected even the Marquis of Tiantu's mansion to treat her with such respect. He was only able to escape this predicament thanks to Shi Miaochan's timely arrival, which strengthened Mr. Yuan and General Wu's resolve to protect him.

To express his gratitude and respect, Li Muyun also bathed, burned incense, and changed into a white robe before heading to the reception hall.

A dozen or so maids stood in two rows in the reception hall, each holding a bouquet of flowers. In the middle, an incense burner emitted wisps of smoke, its fragrance lingering in the air.

At this moment, Shi Miaochan wore a flower and jade pendant in her hair, her pretty face was as white as mutton fat, she wore a red dress, and her expression was proud. She was surrounded by the Second Madam and a group of civil and military officials from the Marquis's family, who were like stars surrounding the moon. Li Tianci served her tea and water, his face full of smiles, and was extremely attentive.

Upon seeing Li Muyun, Shi Miaochan immediately stood up, a smile spreading across her pretty face. Ignoring the gazes of the Second Madam and the others, she walked straight toward Li Muyun.

The coldness on Liu Ruyue's face flashed for a moment and then disappeared. She, the dignified lady of the Marquis's mansion, was actually inferior to a bastard junior in the eyes of the princess. It was truly hateful.

Li Tianci clenched his fists, filled with jealousy.

Yuan Wuji and Wu Wudi's expressions were also quite subtle; the princess's attitude towards Young Master Yun was truly unusual.

However, the next moment everyone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Young Master Yun, it's nice to meet you again. I am very grateful for your hospitality."

When Shi Miaochan saw Li Muyun, dressed in white and handsome, she was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed slightly. Her eyes sparkled with emotion, and all traces of her previous arrogance were gone.

Li Muyun bowed in return, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Shi Miaochan's eyes sparkled, and she waved her hand, saying, "Bring up the betrothal gifts."

Everyone was stunned, and Li Muyun was completely bewildered. Dowry? What do you mean by dowry?

Eight servants carried four mahogany chests, each tied with a red ribbon and auspicious cloth. The chests were carved with gold dragons and silver phoenixes, exuding luxury and celebration.

Shi Miaochan blushed slightly, stepped forward, and said, "Young Master Yun, I have fallen in love with you at first sight. I have come today to propose marriage. I will report to the Emperor on another day and have him grant us a marriage."

After Shi Miaochan spoke, the entire room fell silent.
