Above the calm lake, a gentle breeze was blowing, making Duan Xin Ye’s hair look even more enchanting as it floated on the wind.
Duan Xin Ye was born in the Imperial City and possessed a blood spirit, but her cultivation level wasn’t high at all because her family didn’t allow her to practice. Instead, they had taught her four arts: how to play the zither, how to play Go, calligraphy and painting. They wanted her to understand the basic affairs of human life, which had made her become the person she was at that moment. She had a detached temperament.
Her father was also the ruler of the Xue Yue Country and the head of the Imperial Clan. He had always told her that, in the future, her husband would be a great and heroic commander which is why she didn’t need to be powerful. She just needed to have the adequate personality. Therefore, her cultivation skills were fairly low.
In the past, she had already met almost all the wealthy and noble young men from large clans except for a few people. These people were all the same to her. They met for the first time and immediately feigned feelings for her. She was sick and tired of those types of people. How was it possible to have feelings for someone when meeting them for the first time?
The more people who courted her, the more sick and tired she felt. She just didn’t show it, that’s all.
The same happened when Duan Xin Ye saw Lin Feng for the first time and saw his tattered clothes, she didn’t like him much either. After all, he didn’t need to wear magnificent clothes, but he should at least wear clean clothes.
After that, she had noticed that Lin Feng was different. His facial expression was much different from the others’. He just looked satisfied yet cold and indifferent. Besides, even though Lin Feng was wearing tattered clothes, he looked proud while in the middle of all these noble young men. He looked like he thought that he was on the same level or above many of them.
Of course, the princess’ impression after meeting Lin Feng for the first time wasn’t the same as when she met others. She still had quite a good impression.
But what Duan Xin Ye didn’t understand was why Duan Wu Ya, her brother, who was very proud as well, had introduced Lin Feng to her. Could it be that Duan Wu Ya thought that Lin Feng would become someone with an incredible status?
What Duan Xin Ye didn’t understand, Lin Feng understood even less. He was uncertainly looking at Duan Wu Ya. After remaining silent for an instant, he said: “Your Highness, may I ask you a question?”
Duan Wu Ya smiled and shook his head while saying: “You don’t need to ask. You will know when the right time comes. You will clearly understand. Lin Feng, don’t worry, if I made you come here, it’s only to help you. At the moment, what you need is a high social status.”
“High social status?” said Lin Feng in a low voice, stupefied.
“Indeed, a high social status. In the Imperial City, many people want to kill you. Even though you have a friend at the Xuan Qi layer, if these people really want kill you, a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer will not be able to protect you anymore. Therefore, what you need now is a social status.”
“As these people see it, a high social status is not enough to prevent them from harming me. Of course, if that social status is granted by Your Highness, it is different.” said Lin Feng with a sharp expression in his eyes.
If the second prince provided Lin Feng with a high social status, that would prove that he was one of the prince’s people. Those who wanted to harm Lin Feng first had to think about how Duan Wu Ya would react.
