Chapter 140 - Provoke

"That's the Alioth Star Lord?"

"Wow, he's so good-looking!"

"Yes! I also heard that..."

Two female Inner Breath Realm disciples whispered among each other, saying things like, "The queen wanted to marry Ling Wuxia to the Alioth Star Lord, but she didn't turn up."

So everyone has already heard about that? Then, Xie Lianzhen's reputation...

"So what if he's good-looking?" a young disciple sighed. "The more good-looking he is, the more of a pity it is! He's like a pearl covered in dust."

"What's sad is that he looks perfect, but he has flaws."

That's not "a pearl covered in dust," it's just a slight blemish....

"...Junior Niece Lu?"

"Hmm?" Lu Mingshu was called back to earth.

Tan Yubing pointed in a direction, "Don't stare blankly into space, the king of Zhongzhou is coming over."

As the hosts, he and the queen came to greet the guests personally to show that they valued the Qilin Festival very much.

With a respectable grandmaster in their team, the Nine Jade Palace team was one of the first few to be welcomed.

Along with the crowd, Lu Mingshu stood up and greeted them.

The king of Zhongzhou had a short talk with the chaperone before heading to the next area.

As they passed Lu Mingshu, the queen suddenly stopped in her tracks, "Is this Miss Lu?"

"The queen has good eyesight," Yin Hong immediately replied. "This is the eldest daughter of out Sect Leader, and the only disciple of Senior Brother Liu Jizhen. In the last Heavenly Door competition, she had an outstanding result by winning against eighteen disciples in a row and getting first place."

Lu Mingshu gave her a death stare.

Aren't you being too hardworking as an Elder of the Nine Jade Palace? The queen and king might be noble, but the sect isn't under their control.

Even though that's what she really thought, Lu Mingshu still plastered a smile on her face and bowed to the queen.

The queen was very affectionate and held Mingshu's hand as she scanned her. She smiled warmly at Lu Mingshu, "Such a pretty girl you are! Moreover, you're so outstanding even at such a young age. Your father is blessed to have you."

Yin Hong smiled happily, "The queen is too kind."

Lu Mingshu looked up, "I dare not."

The alienated tone made Yin Hong's heart skip a beat. With that attitude, what if she angers the queen?

But in no time, she heard Lu Mingshu add on, "...In front of the queen, how could I dare to say I've met the standard?"

This made the King of Zhongzhou smile. He turned to the queen, "This little girl here is sweet."

The queen turned and glared at the king, "How is she a little girl? Have you not seen how old she is?"

The King of Zhongzhou burst into laughter. He scanned Lu Mingshu up and down and commented, "Indeed talented, and she's able to keep her composure. If you work harder, you are sure to succeed."

The praise was so good that even Kang Tian didn't dare to agree it.

The queen and king looked at each other and headed over to the next area.
