“Can you finish all this?” Ye Wushuang asked, taken aback.
Before Ye Feifei could respond, Qing Shiyu chimed in, “You really don’t understand your own sister.”
“Just these dishes, she might not even be full with them,” Qing Shiyu continued.
Ye Feifei picked up her chopsticks and grinned, “Big brother, I’m starting now!”
“Go ahead.”
Watching Ye Feifei dig into the food with great relish, Qing Shiyu could no longer contain herself and picked up her chopsticks as well. However, since they were in the main hall and Qing Shiyu was a princess, she initially tried to maintain her royal demeanor. But gradually, as Ye Feifei’s eating pace quickened, Qing Shiyu also abandoned any concerns about her princessly grace.
Two food lovers!
Ye Wushuang occasionally wiped his sister’s mouth and asked with a smile, “Is it delicious?”
“It’s so delicious!”
Seeing Ye Feifei’s happy expression, Ye Wushuang felt an inexplicable sense of contentment. It was wonderful to have a sister.
In his previous life, he had been an orphan, overcoming countless hardships to become the Heavenly Emperor. He had friends, apprentices, and confidants, but no family. Now, having an uncle, a mother, and a sister was an entirely different feeling.
“Shiyu!”
During their meal, a voice full of surprise suddenly rang out.
Qing Shiyu was holding a roasted lamb leg, her mouth greasy with sauce, and she looked up, her expression stunned.
“Yin Zheng, what are you doing here?”
she asked, still chewing on the meat.
“I was about to ask you the same thing!” the young man in a luxurious green robe laughed. “How come you’re here? And who is this?”
“Ye Wushuang!”
The young man turned to Ye Wushuang and greeted him with a smile, “So you’re the famous alchemist Ye Wushuang. I’m Qing Yinzheng!”
Qing Shiyu then introduced, “This is Qing Yinzheng, son of Marquis Zhenhai, Qing Pengzheng!”
Ye Wushuang nodded in acknowledgment.
At that moment, a young man in a blue robe stepped forward from behind Qing Yinzheng and said with a smile, “Princess Shiyu, it’s been a long time.”
Upon seeing the young man, Qing Shiyu’s brows furrowed briefly in annoyance.
Qing Yinzheng introduced him to Ye Wushuang, “This is Zhou Zhe!”
Ye Wushuang also nodded in greeting, but Zhou Zhe’s eyes were fixed on Qing Shiyu, completely ignoring Ye Wushuang. Ye Wushuang just smiled and didn’t mind. He wasn’t a noble, and if others chose to ignore him, that was fine. He had done his part by being polite.
However, Qing Shiyu also ignored Zhou Zhe.
Qing Yinzheng laughed and said, “Brother Zhou Zhe, there’s an empty seat over here. Let’s sit here!”
“Sure.”
The two of them, along with two others, sat at a table not far from Ye Wushuang’s.
Only then did Qing Shiyu whisper, “This Zhou Zhe is so annoying. He’s always looking for opportunities to get close to me!”
“Oh? What does he want with you?”
Qing Shiyu’s eyes widened in disbelief, “My status and beauty are unparalleled. Any man would be smitten upon seeing me!”
“…”
Ye Wushuang suggested again, “If he’s annoying, just give him a good beating.”
“He’s the son of the Zhou family. You don’t know him?”
Ye Wushuang shook his head.
Qing Shiyu continued, “The Zhou family is one of the most powerful families in the Qingyun Empire, second only to the five major families. Zhou Zhe’s father, Zhou Yuanding, is a first-grade grand marshal and a powerful Tian Gang realm cultivator.”
“His elder brother, Zhou Xuan, is ranked tenth on the Tengyun List, at the ninth level of the Condensation Meridian realm, and he’s on the verge of entering the Yuanfu realm.”
“Zhou Zhe himself is also at the ninth level of the Condensation Meridian realm and is ranked fiftieth on the Tengyun List.”
Qing Shiyu explained earnestly, “The royal family of the Qingyun Empire is the strongest, but the five major families are also very powerful. That’s why the royal family needs to ally with some families that are slightly less powerful than the five major ones to maintain a balance. Do you understand?”
“I understand.”
Qing Shiyu then laughed and said, “Someday, when you’re strong enough to be on the Tengyun List, you can give him a beating. This guy is such a nuisance every day…”
“You’re dreaming. His annoying behavior is none of my business,” Ye Wushuang said with a smile as he picked up his cup and took a sip of wine.
“Now that you’re teaching me swordsmanship and are sort of my master, can’t you help when your disciple is being bothered? You’re so stingy.”
Ye Wushuang just smiled bitterly.
At that moment, several waitresses brought up three more dishes.
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say, “We didn’t order any more dishes!”
The waitress smiled and said, “The guests at that table added these for you.”
Following her gaze, Ye Wushuang saw Zhou Zhe looking at Qing Shiyu with a faint smile.
Qing Shiyu couldn’t help but turn her face away.
This guy was really annoying!
“Wow, it’s steamed jasmine fish!” Ye Feifei’s face turned red with excitement.
