However, under Nangong Mian's expectant gaze, the palace attendant still took out the return gift and handed it to Nangong Mian respectfully.
"Yeah, that's great!"
Nangong Mian accepted it happily, only the Sixth Prince was still covering his face.
This minor commotion did not attract Luo Xue's attention, because she was conscientiously dealing with the food in front of her.
These are rare spiritual foods that can warm and nourish the meridians. Luo Xue has not seen many of them in Juexiao Sect, so of course she cannot miss them now.
Her movements were graceful and appropriate, but under the incredulous gaze of the old etiquette officer, the food on the table was almost swept away, leaving her stunned.
"When did your Highness develop such a good appetite?"
"Well, a good appetite is not a bad thing."
However, the old lady who was the etiquette officer naturally saw this little episode at the banquet.
Just like the Sixth Prince, she was helpless towards Nangong Mian and could only lament.
But thinking back, Nangong Mian seemed to be the one the little princess liked...she wanted to lament even more.
How could Your Highness fall in love with such a person?
No, we must change His Highness' impression of Nangong Mian.
The old lady, the etiquette officer, thought for a moment and said,
"Your Highness, the gift that Nangong Mian... brought to you seems to be a little special."
"Hmm?" Luo Xue raised her head. "What's so special about it?"
She remembered Nangong Mian, the one who practiced the same martial arts as Nangong Mengxiang, but he hadn't yet formed the pill.
To be honest, Luo Xue's attention to Nangong Mian was all because of Nangong Mengxiang, and not as the etiquette officer had speculated.
"It's... a bottle of her blood." The old lady of etiquette said, "Ordinary blood."
"what?"
Luo Xue was stunned for a moment.
This gift...why does it feel a bit familiar?
She seemed to have also given blood to others...even Senior Sister Li, ahem, just ordinary blood.
Luo Xue felt quite guilty about this. She didn't even know that the effect of her poisonous body's blood would disappear soon after leaving her body. She also vowed to Senior Sister Li that this thing could help her counterattack at the critical moment.
"She was just being so perfunctory because of the gift from the imperial family..."
The old etiquette officer began to secretly poke Nangong Mian's spine behind his back, trying to make Luo Xue feel disgusted with her and thus dispel her inappropriate admiration for her.
"Well, it's not too perfunctory, right? It's a bit thoughtful, right?"
Luo Xue, who had done the same thing, spoke haltingly, her eyes somewhat evasive and guilty.
If you say that Nangong Mian is not doing a good thing, it's no different from scolding herself...
Hearing Luo Xue's words and her expression, the old etiquette officer thought to herself that it was bad, the little princess had really fallen in love.
Even such a mean person's behavior can be tolerated...
Just as the old lady of etiquette was racking her brains to continue to discredit Nangong Mian so that the little princess could get back on track, Luo Xue suddenly said,
"By the way, Mammy, can I see her?"
Mainly because of what the old lady etiquette officer said, and the possible connection with Nangong Mengxiang, Luo Xue finally became interested in Nangong Mian.
"this..."
The old lady of etiquette looked uncertain and looked in the direction of the Emperor and Empress as if asking for help.
But the lavender mist did not respond at all and remained calm.
The old lady of etiquette could only sigh in her heart and said,
"Since it is your highness's order, I will not stop you... Of course you can."
She glanced at the palace attendant next to her, who immediately read out in a shrill voice,
"Send it to Nangong Mian, Princess Snow wants to see you!"
This voice instantly attracted everyone's attention. Princess Snow sat gracefully, looking at Nangong Mian with a slight smile in her eyes.
What... happened?
The hearts of the young talents were in turmoil. They had expected that if His Highness took a fancy to a young talent, he would summon him for a private talk.
Everyone was waiting to see who would get this lucky opportunity, but they never thought...it would be Nangong Mian? !
Although Mian Wudi is tough and vicious, even worse than the average male monk, and lacks the gentleness that a woman should have...but, she is indeed a woman!
Could it be that Princess Snow is actually...
Unlike others, Nangong Mian doesn't think so.
She thought to herself that something was wrong. The little princess must have remembered that she had sent ordinary blood, and she was going to bring trouble to punish her!
The Sixth Prince frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Luo Xue and the old etiquette officer.
But he saw the old etiquette officer's sad expression and didn't understand what was going on for a moment.
"Can I not go..."
Nangong Mian said in a low voice.
"What do you say?"
The Sixth Prince felt a headache and suddenly regretted bringing Nangong Mian here.
That’s not right...If she is not brought here, the foundation-building disciples in the clan should sign a joint petition.
"Okay." Nangong Mian stood up reluctantly and said through gritted teeth, "If you want me to return the gift, I will definitely not do it!"
Sixth Prince: “….”
You think everyone is like you...
After hesitating for a while, Nangong Mian followed the court attendants towards Princess Snow's curtain with a nervous mood.
"Your Highness, Miss Nangong Mian is here."
"Well, please step back first."
Luo Xue sat there in a proper manner, looking at Nangong Mian carefully.
There is not the slightest resemblance between her eyebrows and Nangong Mengxiang, but Nangong Mengxiang is just an adopted orphan, so she couldn't be her sister in the clan.
After Nangong Mian walked into the curtain, he had been secretly observing Luo Xue.
This was the first time she met Luo Xue at such a close distance. Although she had called her "Sister Xue" affectionately outside just now, it was just to provoke the royal family.
I have to say, this natural long silver hair is really beautiful...
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and when their eyes met, they both looked away a little, feeling a little awkward.
This scene, when seen by the old lady who is the etiquette officer, made her feel very chilled...
How come these two are attracted to each other?
"Mammy," Luo Xue suddenly said at this moment, "I want to talk to Miss Nangong alone, is that ok?"
Luo Xue wanted to ask her about the origin of her martial arts skills, but it might not be convenient if there were outsiders present.
The old lady of etiquette turned pale instantly, but after enduring for a while, she nodded with difficulty.
"Your Highness, please take your time. I will go and prepare other things first."
She looked back step by step, worry evident in her eyes.
"...Mammy, what happened?"
Nangong Mian looked at the old lady of etiquette's strange expression and was puzzled.
"I don't know, maybe he's not feeling well." Luo Xue replied casually, then looked at Nangong Mian calmly, "Sit down first, there are some things I want to ask you in private."
"What's the matter?" Nangong Mian sat down, but suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and immediately stood up, crossing his arms across his chest, "Don't even think about taking the gift back!"
"...What are you talking about?"
Luo Xue raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling that Miss Nangong Mian was a little different from her previous impression...
"Oh, you're not here to ask for a gift," Nangong Mian breathed a sigh of relief and sat down, "Ask, Your Highness, I'll tell you everything I know."
"Is the 'Introduction to Body Building Techniques' a common technique? Or is it unique to the Nangong family?" Luo Xue asked.
Since Nangong Mengxiang told Luo Xue that the technique she practiced was the "Introduction to Body Tempering Techniques" given to her by Feng Yin Zhenren, Luo Xue still believes that this is a basic technique, but she has never seen other body cultivators practice it.
"Introduction to Body Building Techniques... I've never heard of this kind of technique. Maybe it exists, but it should only be practiced by first- and second-level sects." At this point, Nangong Mian proudly puffed out his chest and said, "I'm different. What I practice is something that only one person can practice in ten thousand years..."
Before Nangong Mian finished boasting, Luo Xue showed a strange expression.
"Aren't you practicing the 'Introduction to Body Building Techniques'?"
“Ah…Ah?” Nangong Mian was immediately choked. “I…How is it possible? I’m practicing the “Desolate Great Destruction Sutra” which has been passed down from generation to generation in the Nangong family, but it takes ten thousand years to find someone qualified to practice it! How could it be an entry-level technique…”
Nangong Mian was quite flamboyant and conceited. Seeing Luo Xue's questioning look, he said,
"If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask, what is the entry point..."
"Don't be anxious, I'm just asking." Luo Xue said.
"Oh..."
Nangong Mian suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the little princess, and he quickly restrained himself a little.
Although she is fearless, she is still afraid of the Empress...
The little princess seemed to be protected by the emperor and empress, so she didn't dare to do anything wrong.
"It seems that my previous guess was correct..."
Luo Xue pondered for a moment, her expression slightly thoughtful.
This world...should be the legendary forbidden ancient demon land.
Although it is not in the four regions of Kyushu, it is inextricably linked to that world.
Moreover, it can finally be confirmed that the geniuses in this world are generally much stronger than those in the four regions of Kyushu, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is many times more refined.
Nangong Mian was no more than twenty years old, and he was practicing a slower-progressing physical training technique, but he had already reached the peak of foundation building.
——Of course, if Luo Xue knew that the resources Nangong Mian had consumed so far were enough to allow more than a hundred cultivators to advance to the peak of foundation building, she would not hold this view.
However, what is strange is that in her previous two lives, she was born without parents, but now she has become the princess of an immortal dynasty... It is really strange.
Seeing that Luo Xue seemed to be lost in thought, Nangong Mian did not disturb her. He just sat beside her and looked around boredly.
But after looking for a while, her gaze fell on the little princess again.
"Strange... Why did I feel that the little princess was so cute before, but now when I think about things, I feel inexplicably mature..."
After Nangong Mian stared at Luo Xue for a while, Luo Xue finally came to her senses, blinked, and smiled,
"Sister Nangong, what's wrong?"
The cute feeling is back...
"No, nothing...ah, you call me Sister Nangong?" Nangong Mian was a little surprised, "I, I can't bear it..."
She secretly glanced in the direction of the Emperor and Empress. Well, in the entire Nangong family, the one she feared the most was this old man... ahem, she didn't dare to think about it.
"Didn't you call me Sister Xue just now?" Luo Xue's eyes were a little naughty, "Or... Sister Mian?"
"hiss..."
The soft and gentle voice of "sister" almost made Nangong Mian confused.
No one had ever called her like that before. Her brothers and sisters in the clan were terribly afraid of her. Her nickname was "Mian Invincible" or "Mian Demon King".
Chapter 157 It is impossible for you and Nangong Mian to be together, another little princess
Until the little princess' birthday banquet was nearing its end, Nangong Mian did not come out of her curtain, and the two seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.
As for the Emperor and Empress, she was hidden behind the light purple mist from beginning to end. No one dared to guess her intentions, and no one bothered her.
When the old lady who was the etiquette officer came near the curtain and reminded Nangong Mian that the banquet time was almost over, Nangong Mian walked out reluctantly.
