I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples
Chapter 1509 - Chapter 1509 Chapter 1509 Nan Tingfeng

Chapter 1509: Chapter 1509: Nan Tingfeng Chapter 1509: Chapter 1509: Nan Tingfeng Along the way, Jiu Bailu seemed in high spirits, her eyes curved as if they were crescent moons.

Her white dress, untainted by even a speck of dust, billowed in the wind, long enough to drag on the ground, and her white hair, reaching her waist, floated about, catching the eyes of those around her.

Mu Fusheng watched Jiu Bailu’s retreating figure helplessly, thinking how had she previously earned the nickname of ‘Iceberg’? Now, she appeared quite like any other girl.

But just then, the cliche situation ultimately unfolded.

A refined gentleman, dressed in a brocaded robe and wielding a folding fan, approached Jiu Bailu and, smiling, said, “With such a figure, even a light veil cannot conceal her breathtaking beauty, I fear only Your Highness the Princess could possess such allure.”

Although Jiu Bailu rarely ventured out in public and was now veiled, some influential individuals from high-ranking factions had seen her.

This man likely belonged to one of the top factions from the Tianji Continent.

As the man stood in front of Jiu Bailu, the youthful, vivacious atmosphere she exuded gradually cooled. She folded her hands in front of her, reined in her smile, and looked at the man indifferently, saying, “The Crown Prince of the Nanfeng Divine Dynasty, may I inquire as to the purpose of your approach?”

This man before her was indeed the Crown Prince of one of the three great Divine Dynasties of the Tianji Continent, Nan Tingfeng of the Nanfeng Divine Dynasty.

Since the elder Crown Prince showed no interest in state affairs and preferred a life of indulgence, achieving little in cultivation,

The second Crown Prince, however, was not only considered a genius in strategy but also possessed exceptional talent for cultivation.

It was well known throughout the Nanfeng Divine Dynasty that the Emperor regarded the second Crown Prince as his heir apparent.

Of course, everyone admired a good match, and Jiu Bailu was known as the most beautiful woman in the Chaos Realm–who wouldn’t adore her, let alone Nan Tingfeng?

Nan Tingfeng chuckled, wielding his fan, and said, “I was merely handling some affairs here and thought to greet the Princess upon seeing her. Are you also here on business, Your Highness? Once it’s concluded, perhaps you could join me for some wine and amusement, to relax a little?”

Jiu Bailu’s demeanor once again became cold as if she radiated an aura that kept strangers at bay, and her eyes remained calm as still water, devoid of any trace of emotion, as she replied, “Sorry, I’m not free.”

Nan Tingfeng was well aware of Jiu Bailu’s character and did not take offense or feel surprised at her blunt refusal, responding in his gentle and elegant manner, “If that is the case, I can only hope for another opportunity in the future. However, the word on the street is that Your Highness has rejected all the betrothal gifts from the ancient aristocratic families and top factions of the Cangxuan Continent because you already have someone in your heart. Could it be this gentleman here?”

Upon hearing the conversation turn towards him, Mu Fusheng let out a wry smile filled with helplessness.

Such a trite scenario might be cliched, but what could he do when it invariably occurred?

Who wouldn’t approach a woman they found stunning and start a conversation, maybe ask for contact details?

Apart from those who already had a beloved or perhaps were socially anxious.

He anticipated what would happen next and wanted to quickly find an opportunity to leave. Yet, for some reason, while he thought this in his mind, his feet felt as if they were pulled by someone, unable to move forward.

It was as if leaving now would mean losing out on something.

When Nan Tingfeng’s attention landed on him, Mu Fusheng finally gave up on the idea entirely and resigned himself to his fate.

Jiu Bailu looked over to Mu Fusheng, who had not left, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. Even though this was a subtle move from behind a light veil, Nan Tingfeng caught it with his sharp senses.

Not only that, the way Jiu Bailu looked at Mu Fusheng was different from how she regarded others.

For instance, when looking at him, her gaze would be flat, revealing no emotional fluctuation, but when her eyes fell on Mu Fusheng, there was… a nauseating sentimentality.

“Whether it is so or not, it depends not only on me but also on him.”

Jiu Bailu’s words seemed to confirm the rumors circulating in the marketplace.

After hearing this, Nan Tingfeng merely shrugged his shoulders and said, “Doesn’t the Second Princess think that a marriage alliance with the top factions of Cangxuan Continent, or choosing a prince from the Divine Dynasties of Tianji Continent, would be extremely advantageous for the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty? At the very least, it could raise the status of the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty to a new level.”

Before Jiu Bailu had a chance to reply, Mu Fusheng rebutted as if possessed, “A marriage alliance for interest might elevate the status of a faction in the short term, but power that relies solely on marriage alliances can never stand atop the higher peaks.”

“Which top faction in history reached the pinnacle through marriage alliances?”

The moment he finished speaking, Mu Fusheng almost slapped himself.

Why was he spouting so much nonsense while in Jiu Bailu’s company?

Nan Tingfeng didn’t directly counter the argument but nodded and said, “You do make some points… but you can’t deny that nowadays, this method is certainly a good one.”

“However, given Your Excellency’s insights, it seems you are also a scion of one of the aristocratic families of the Divine Dynasties?”

Nan Tingfeng had been in seclusion up until recently, so he hadn’t heard much about Mu Fusheng.

Mu Fusheng bowed casually, already seeming to have given up the struggle, and said wearily, “That’s right.”

“Where do you hail from?”

“You guess.”

Pfft.

Jiu Bailu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Nan Tingfeng, however, had a somewhat stiff expression and forced a smile, saying, “Are you playing with me, Your Excellency?”

Mu Fusheng sighed and said, “I’m not playing with you. If I tell you and you haven’t heard of it, you will look down on me and then start to oppress me continuously. And if it’s higher in level than your Nanfeng Divine Dynasty, you’ll be asking this and that to confirm, and once the news leaks out, all the top factions will have their eyes on me, which would not be good for me at all.”

Nan Tingfeng nodded slightly, “Indeed, that’s true. But even if you don’t reveal where you are from, I wouldn’t need to investigate; those powers that are offering betrothal gifts to the Second Princess would naturally do so.”

Mu Fusheng curled the corner of his mouth and said, “I will be careful.”

“May you achieve success.”

Then, after bowing to Jiu Bailu, Nan Tingfeng left with his entourage.

After they had gone,

Nan Tingfeng said, “Go, get me a report on him from Tingfeng Pavilion.”

An expressionless attendant beside him nodded.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the attendant returned with a scroll.

Nan Tingfeng took the scroll, glanced at it after opening it, and then tucked it away, smiling, “It seems a lot of interesting things have happened while I was in seclusion.”

The attendant asked, “Should we continue to investigate his background?”

“For now, there’s no need,” said Nan Tingfeng, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Although he has been very active during this period and seems to have revealed a lot of information, in actuality, he hasn’t exposed any of his secrets. This shows that he is extremely cautious and careful. Such people are often difficult to deal with. Moreover, more information will be revealed during the great competition at the Six Realms Academy… We’ll discuss this after that matter is taken care of.”
