It was May, and the sun was high in the sky. The scorching heat of summer enveloped the entire earth.

Hundred flowers bloomed. The trees were lush and full of vitality.

It was said that this was the best season.

In the capital city, in a huge courtyard, there was a bustling crowd. Most of them had young faces, both male and female, with servants holding gifts following behind them.

To the feast.

Everyone's face was filled with smiles.

After that, she was brought along to cultivate in the Sacred Grounds. At the age of thirteen, she formed a Qi Sea, and at the age of fifteen, she stepped into the bloodline gate. At the age of seventeen, she lost to the Holy Maiden candidate in one move, making her name known throughout South Zhan Continent.

Now that he had returned from the mountains, it had been three years since he last took action. This attracted the attention of countless youngsters.

It was rumored that not only was the talent of this princess astonishing, even her beauty was extremely beautiful. With a single glance, one would lose their soul.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the princess was like a fairy that could only be seen but not touched.

And now, the princess had set up a banquet. All those who were invited felt this was a great honor.

There were even many young geniuses that had the desire to pursue him. They had already made up their minds. Even if they failed in the end, they wouldn't have any regrets.

Of course, they did not have much hope in pursuing this sort of thing.

It was rumored that this princess was as cold as ice and didn't care about matters of the mortal world. She rarely came into contact with men. In the past, even though there were people who knew that she was beautiful, no one dared to pursue her.

However, what no one knew was that she, who had cultivated in the Sacred Grounds for ten years, had secretly come back at least seven or eight times.

Even more so, no one knew that their eyes were always high and mighty, as cold as the princess' heart had long promised them.

It was a secret.

Other than the maid close to her and herself, no one else in the world knew about it. Even her brother didn't know about it. He had always thought that her relationship with that person was only that of a friend.

The figures of the crowd grew more and more numerous. It was very lively.

In the depths of the mansion, on a quiet pavilion, a beautiful woman looked at the sky with a dejected expression. The maid by the side remained silent as she silently looked at her and sighed in her heart.

After a long time, the beautiful woman whispered, "There are trees and branches in the mountain. I don't know."

The maid looked at her. She couldn't help but suffocate as a trace of pity flashed through her eyes.

The world only knew that the princess was a beauty that could topple empires and had great talent that could shock the world. However, it did not know that the princess was sad.

In these ten years, what she wanted was not to cultivate, nor to shock the world, nor was it to ask for the position of the high and mighty Holy Maiden. She only wanted to return to this peaceful country and silently protect the 'Monarch' in her heart.

But why didn't he see her?

Ten years.

Was he really so heartless?

How many years could a woman have?

The most cruel thing was, she was currently under the orders of her master to return here. She was forced by the princess to make a move against him, completely exterminating that bloodline.

She couldn't do it!

If he had come today, how would she have faced him?

"If you rebel, I will rebel for you against the world."

The beautiful girl laughed desolately. Her beautiful face that was as beautiful as a painting revealed a sense of sadness.

She was not afraid of going against the rules of the world. What she feared the most was her heart. Rejecting her was even more cruel than killing her.

"Miss, you're a princess of Shang Kingdom!" The maid behind him sighed.

She could rebel against the world, but what about this country? Was the great Shang Kingdom going to suffer her sin because of this?

As he thought about it, Xia Xiaoxiao became even more silent. He also slowly put away his sorrowful expression, and the depths of his pitch-black eyes revealed a sense of haziness and opacity.

That's right!

She was one of the most outstanding geniuses within the Sacred Grounds, one that was highly regarded by all. She was also the princess of this country, the princess of thousands upon thousands of people at dawn.

After a long while, she stood up and used a light veil to cover her face before walking out. The maids behind her followed closely behind.

The banquet was set up in the eastern courtyard.

The area was very large, and could accommodate a thousand people.

There were 38 tables, and each table had 20 people. The long tables were filled with wooden chairs, and the figures of people were sitting and standing. All kinds of etiquette were coming and going, making them appear very dignified and refined.

Around the garden, there were flowers and plants, and even lakes. Green Willow drooped down and danced with the wind, and from time to time, butterflies would fly over, adorning the scene with a perfect summer.

Young faces, one after another, some handsome, some delicate, some mature and resolute, and some very personal-looking.

The sounds of discussion rose and fell as they chatted.

Of course, the main focus of the crowd was still on the princess. Ten years had passed, just how beautiful was the rumored princess? What kind of level had she reached after not making a move for three years?

"Brother Zheng, it is said that you fought with Li Yi on that night, and won? Just what kind of sword technique did he use? have puzzled you for so long? " Someone asked curiously.

Zheng Zimu's face froze, his head lowered, drinking his wine silently, he did not answer.

"Red Star Academy, Fifth Institute, a place that once dared to challenge Saints, has become withered, this is truly a transformation of the ocean!"

"It's good that it's gone. Otherwise, I won't have to suffer anymore."

"Cough cough, let's not discuss these matters too much." Someone coughed dryly a few times before giving him a meaningful look.

The origin of Red Star Academy was too frightening, and it had a huge bearing on it. Moreover, this matter involved the grudge between the two Sacred Grounds, and there were even rumors that there were some unresolvable grudges between this small courtyard and Zhongzhou.

"I've offended too many people." Someone mumbled.

"Isn't it?"

"Ha ha!" With that said, no one brought it up again. Everyone began to change the topic.

Not long after, a young figure entered the room, and the scene immediately became a bit quieter.

Someone immediately went up to welcome him. "Brother Lin, long time no see, I heard that you have been cultivating in the Mount Daliang? Did you find anything? "

Mount Daliang.

These three words attracted people's attention.

three years ago, he stepped into the Mount Daliang and only returned now.

It was rumored that he had always been searching for the 'thousand year old legend'.

The young man had been training in such a place for four years, and he looked somewhat haggard. His face was very thin and dark, and his chin was sparse. His pair of dark eyes appeared somewhat cloudy and hollow.

The white attire was slightly black, revealing all the dust and dust on it.

The vicissitudes of life.

Looking at him, these two words came to mind.

However, this kind of old him was something that no one dared to underestimate, because at this moment, everyone could feel the aura coming from within his body. It was faintly fluctuating, like a Vicious Beast that was hibernating in the depths of a desert, giving off an oppressive feeling that oppressed one's heart.

Lin Ziquan raised his head and swept his gaze across the crowd. Smiling, he said, "There are some clues, but I'm not sure yet."

What?

There was actually a clue?

Everyone was shocked.

Four years had passed, and it was unknown how many people had entered to search for the truth, but no one dared to mention the word "clue".

For a moment, the scene was very quiet. Everyone's gaze fell on the Forest Boa Pavilion.

His smile was brilliant, as though he was enjoying watching such a scene. He then opened his mouth: "Today, going to the banquet, is to gift the princess a huge gift. This huge gift came from the Mount Daliang."
