Abandoned Princesses
Honored Guest

The emperor looked nervous. While Head Eunuch Qi could only mutter worriedly the entire time.

It was all because the honored guest they feared would arrive in a matter of minutes.

Ministers and military officials who also attended the banquet were no less nervous. The atmosphere of the banquet hall was so awkward. They can only daydream and calculate time that feels very long seconds after seconds.

Until finally the sound of a drum that sounded outside was heard.

"The Moon King of the Moon Sect!" From in front of the gate of the palace hall, a eunuch shouted the name of the guest.

The deg! The heart of the Emperor felt like it had stopped. Fortunately Head Eunuch Qi immediately cleared his throat and made the Emperor come to a realization to immediately prepare to pay his respects.

A man with an aide following behind him, dressed all in black with a silver crescent brooch embedded in his right chest.

The man's face was covered by a black mask that covered next to his face. Only his left eye and mouth are visible. The aura of the man was so mysterious.

Meanwhile, the man's hair was extended backwards in pitch black with one side bangs that somewhat covered part of his mask. However, even from a distance the people present could see how dignified the man was.

The emperor immediately bowed. "Honor the Moon King."

The emperor waited for the man to speak, but after waiting for second after second, not a word came out of the man's mouth. The Emperor was somewhat offended at thinking the Moon King indeed wanted to humiliate him by letting him bow for so long.

Even the man who was touted as the Moon King only looked away and directly walked towards one of the empty tables. The adjutant behind him followed him slowly accompanying his master sitting down by standing beside the Moon King.

Finally the man who was the adjutant opened his mouth. "Please the Emperor and gentlemen do not attach too much importance to formality. My master is indeed a straightforward person and does not like to talk too much."

Hearing the adjutant's words, the Emperor and the other invited guests immediately sighed and sat back down.

Ever since food was distributed to each table, the Emperor could not take his eyes off the Moon King.

He always rang by his thoughts from the day he received the official letter of visit. What was the real purpose of the Moon King making an official visit to the Wen Kingdom?

Eunuch Qi's head only advised the Emperor not to think too much and enjoy the food. According to Head Eunuch Qi, the appetite of the Emperor these few days was disturbed due to thinking too much about the matter. Of course the Emperor's health should not be disturbed.

Music began to play and the dancers began to perform the dances they had prepared. The guests repeatedly clapped each time the show was over.

However, the Moon King who had just sat down did not even budge in the slightest. Nor does it look at the dancers who perform. The emperor was worried. It seemed like the Moon King was not an easy person to deal with.

When the banquet was about to end, suddenly the Moon King stood up and slightly kicked his table to the surprise of all the invited guests, as well as the Emperor.

"I think it's been so long that I've been patient waiting for this show to finish. Let's be honest." The Moon King walked slowly in front of the Emperor and ordered the aide behind him to go out to give him a moment.

The man simply nodded and used the Moon Shadow to immediately leave without anyone being detected.

The Emperor started to fear, but Head Eunuch Qi reminded him to stay upright and not tremble. After all, this person in front of him had a cultivation several levels higher than him. How could he not be afraid when those sharp eyes were like piercing and piercing through him?

"My goal is to come here..." Emperor Qiao felt that time was slowing down. He could even hear his own heartbeat.

"To propose to the 7th princess, Qiao Rong."

"Squeaky. Very-very weird. Why did the old Emperor forbid me to go to the banquet?" Qiao Rong was now brain-twisting in his room with Li Junyan.

"Yes, I agree. This official visit is unusual. Between the Moon King does have a certain intent or the Emperor hiding something." Li Junyan looked nutmeg sick from all his attempts to think. After he found out about the upcoming guest based on the rumors in the palace, even more confused they thought about the man's purpose.

Qiao Rong still did not get an answer to his question.

Why was the Emperor so afraid of the Moon King? Is he hiding something? Inner Qiao Rong.

"After all, what is the Moon King like?" Qiao Rong asked curiously.

"Ah... It'll be hard to explain. How about we just sneak in? The origin of the Master hiding qi would definitely not be detected." Said Li Junyan.

Qiao Rong thought that it was a good idea. He was also very curious about the Moon King's new successor. What makes this man so mysterious? Masking, not liking women, and so on. There were already too many things Li Junyan had told him that made him even more curious to see the man with his own eyes.

Qiao Rong sneaked to the side of the gate and accidentally heard a thunderous sound from within.

"You didn't take it?" After the voice finished sounding out, Qiao Rong looked slightly into the palace hall.

Qiao Rong discovered that the guests and the invitation officials were already frozen in fear. While the Emperor himself seemed to have trembled as the qi released by the man was so dense that no one could move.

Even Qiao Rong who was outside was slightly affected. Qiao Rong now knew, that the people in the three sects bore the title of King not for trivial reasons.

However, just now Qiao Rong wanted to praise how good the Moon King's hair was, the next words from the Emperor left him dumbfounded.

"If Your Majesty really wants to propose to Princess Rong, of course I won't refuse. But this must be discussed with the boy himself." The emperor replied with a stammer.

Qiao Rong sculpted instantly.

The Moon King came here just to propose to him? Apply her? Is it not wrong?

However, it is he who has to decide for himself. Even if the Emperor said he had to marry the Moon King, he would not.

Because one Shen Haofeng was enough.

After a long thought, Qiao Rong immediately entered into the palace hall.

"I refuse!" He screamed as loud as possible. The Emperor sighed with relief hearing that.

The Moon King's face was struck by lightning even though it was blocked by the mask he was wearing. A few seconds later, his face calmed down.

"It seems like it should be discussed by itself." After saying so, the Moon King walked quickly towards the somewhat bewildered Qiao Rong. That guy won't hurt her, will he?

And the next second, his body was already in the arms of the Moon King.

*****

"Take me off! Lower them!" Qiao Rong thrashed as the man carried her. Yet seeing that, the Moon King simply smiled at him.

Finally the man let him down after they reached a deserted place. Qiao Rong let out a sigh of relief. However, slowly the man advanced in front of him.

Qiao Rong immediately retreated, step by step. However, his waist instead touched the wall behind him. Qiao Rong felt like he was experiencing deja vu. Like I've experienced something like this before.

"What are you gonna do?" Qiao Rong looked at the man curiously.

The Moon King remained close to him and finally opened his mouth. "You're rejecting me?" The tone that the man took out sounded sad but also sounded like a momentary fad.

Qiao Rong pushed the man because he felt their faces were too close. Then the girl turned her back to the Moon King.

"Hamba already has someone to like, please Your Majesty understand." Qiao Rong said firmly.

"Oh?" Hearing the response from the man behind him, Qiao Rong felt puzzled.

"In my opinion, he is more handsome than you, and maybe your strength is almost the same. But he was also gentle and firm at the same time." Qiao Rong smiled as he thought of Shen Haofeng.

"Of course I won't tell you who he is, you'll be—" Just now Qiao Rong will continue his words, the sunlight made him see a glittering object that was familiar to him in the Moon King's ear.

Qiao Rong could only close his mouth in shock.

"Shen Haofeng?"
