Chapter 32: Welcoming Party

Party invitations have been sent out, everyone of the ministers and generals who have a daughter have all received the invitation. Jing Xuan was poured on this news when she went to do her morning greetings to her parents.

"Aiyo, My baby girl should have stayed at the army camp for a little longer... Who can resist this beautiful blooming flower?" Lee Jiao Yu asked as she cupped her daughter face in her hand.

"Jing er, don't think we are bad but please be a little uglier when you're at the party okay. Don't stand out okay?" Mu Xuan De said, causing Jing Xuan to break out in smiles.

"Father... What if i ends up liking him?" she asked curiously.

"We will support you and move to the Western Kingdom with you!" Lee Jiao Yu said which earn a nod from Mu Xuan De. Seeing how supportive her parents are she couldn't help but feel blessed.

TingXiao had not visited Jing Xuan for days already and Jing Xuan couldn't help but felt slightly worried for him. But then no news means good news?

Jing Xuan was in her room, as she randomly picks out an outfit to wear for tomorrow welcoming party. She was slightly excited to finally meet the crown prince of the Western Kingdom that was said to be extremely handsome, cold hearted, and powerful in terms of martial arts and such.

However, there wasn't such event in the novel. But one thing is definitely for sure, Yu Xuan will fall in love with him like she would when Jing Xuan read the novel.

After decided on what to wear, she shuts herself in her room as she started cultivating. She had been religiously cultivating everyday when she was worried about TingXiao to take her mind off of him. She had broken through to the Nouveau Rank 2 and chosen her sub as archery. As her cultivation speed has increased to two times that of a normal cultivator she very quickly rose to the High Peak of Nouveau Rank 2.

"Jie Jie, its Jing Jie. I've brought you something to eat." Jing Jie said as he stood outside and waited for Jing Xuan.

Jing Xuan got up as she had already finished cultivating and slowly heads out of her room, having seen Jing Jie outside she reaches out and hugged him. She was hoping that TingXiao would enter her room and meet with her but he still hasn't shown up since that day. Feeling slightly sad over it she wanted to relief that feeling by hugging the cuddle-ly Jing Jie. After eating and chatting with Jing Jie she headed to bed.

It's going to be a long day tomorrow... She sighed before she fall asleep.

"Jing Xuan Xiao jie, its time to wake up" Mimi called out gently afraid to anger the young miss however it was already late in the afternoon and Jing Xuan still had a welcoming party to attend to.

"Xiao jie..." She called out again, this time Jing Xuan stirred in her bed as she slowly got up to a seating position. Her long lashes flutters as she slowly opened her eyes and adjusted to the light that was seeping in through her curtains. Jing Xuan slowly got up as she raise both her hands to allow MiMi and Xi Er to help her change into her clothes.

She became more somber after she had washed her face. She sat in front of the mirror as Xi Er and Mimi let down her hair and applied make up for her.

You don't even care about me, maybe i should just seduce the Western Kingdom's Prince and marry him! Jing Xuan thought as she looked at her reflection.

Time very quickly passed as she got ready and it was about time to leave, she got on the carriage as she left for the palace. Along the way, she could hear the whispers of young girls gossiping about how handsome and stunning the Western Prince is.

Once the carriage had arrived at the palace, with the help of MiMi she got off the carriage and handed the invitation to the guards. Eyes were on her as she walked into the Xi You Palace where the party is held at.

The famous Mu Jing Xuan, who led a group of army and returned victorious, and is also a beautiful lady. Right outside of the ball are 2 palace maid who are handing out Ball Masks to hide the ladies faces. She walked towards them and grabbed a mask, putting it on she enters the ball.

The main character, Western Prince doesn't seem to be there yet. That was what she thought, when suddenly a big hand slips into hers. She turned around ready to attack, but she stopped when she heard a familiar voice. (He wore a mask and she didn't realised it was him)

"Its me." When she heard TingXiao voice she visibly relaxed however Jing Xuan was still mad at the fact that he had not came to look for her.

Jing Xuan pulled her hand away from his grip,
"Aren't you very busy?"

"I was planning something important so you must definitely forgive me..." He pouted as he lightly swing her arm.

"Oh? is it? and how did you recognise me?" She asked.

"Its true! Remember when i said no matter what you're wearing and how you look i will always recognise you? You are the girl i love, obviously i have to recognise you" His sweet word melts her heart, she still remember that day, it was on their second meeting at the tea shop.

"Why are you here anyway?" She asked.

Before TingXiao could reply Jing Xuan, someone announced that the party has started. Everyone started walking to their desired seat, as they await for the performers to arrive. But before Jing Xuan could leave to head to her seat, she was stopped by TingXiao.

"I wanted to tell you, I am actually the Western Kingdom's crown prince. Now get going." TingXiao words was stuck in Jing Xuan's mind when she walked over to her seat. Now most of the weird thing he did seem justified.

"You don't have to worry... the next generations will bring peace." no wonder she thought.

However, Jing Xuan did not know what to think about this new information she was blessed with. This guy, he is one if the main character and Yu Xuan would be infatuated with him.

He seem to like me but what if... with the lead character halo she manages to catch his attention and made him kill me?! Will he still care about me then?
