Pursue to Sword Summit

Chapter 161 - Second Prince Xiao Mingwu

When the people heard that the princess was going to personally receive Lin Mo and the others in the palace, it was as if they had heard an earth-shattering piece of news. This was enough for them to discuss for a while longer;

Liu Feng and Jin Feiyang were so angry that they wanted to fight to the death with Lin Mo, but with the Royal Guard protecting them right now, even if they wanted to, they didn't have the ability to. Not to mention receiving such a courtesy from the princess, even if they could get a smile from the princess, they would already be extremely happy.

On the way to the Imperial Palace, Lin Mo was still thinking about what he should say to the princess next, and he could also tell that the princess seemed to have some enmity towards Qin Xinyin, so he wondered if he should be in the middle of it. As he was thinking about all this, Qin Xinyin had a face full of worry.

"Lin Mo, the reason why the princess is treating us like this is not for others but for you." Qin Xinyin said somewhat sourly.

Lin Mo had basically believed this now, it was just that the commotion caused by the princess was too big each time, making it hard for him to accept.

"Senior sister, what are you thinking? I don't care what the princess thinks. If it wasn't for the fact that I was unable to refuse, I wouldn't want to participate in this luncheon, and would rather be happy when we are together." Lin Mo laughed.

Lin Mo's words made Qin Xinyin somewhat relieved, but she was also a little worried about the upcoming luncheon. He wondered if the princess would make things difficult for her again.

Although she felt that the princess was interested in Lin Mo, that was no longer something that she had the qualifications to think about. Qin Xinyin and the princess were not someone she could compare to, at most, she could only be Lin Mo's follower and already be very happy.

In the center of the dining room, there was a huge luxurious table. The cloth on the table was made from gold thread, and on the table, there were over ten golden dishes, filled with all kinds of various real delicacies. Right in front of the table was Princess Ming Yi, who was looking at Lin Mo and the others with a face full of curiosity and astonishment.

Lin Mo and the others had never seen such a luxurious restaurant before, the chopsticks they used to eat were made of gold, the chairs they sat on were carved with jade, covered with gold threads and silk. Qin Xinyin and Qing Ling opened their eyes wide with a look of disbelief.

Any item here was priceless. If they sold it, they would be able to live a good life. The luxurious palace was unrivalled.

Beside Lin Mo and the others, there was a palace maid serving them. Because the dining table was huge, they were unable to obtain most of the dishes, they needed the palace maids to help them with their dishes.

But at this time, none of them dared to touch the chopsticks, because the princess hadn't said anything and they hadn't seen enough. The princess was very satisfied with her design, she wanted to let them know how noble her identity was.

"Please have a meal, no need to be modest." The princess arrogantly said.

Lin Mo did not understand what Princess Qian Qian meant, wasn't it eating anyway? He quickly finished his food and left. He didn't want to stay here for too long either. Although it was a good place, he still felt that it wasn't right. They shouldn't have come to this kind of place.

On the other hand, Qin Xinyin felt the princess' arrogance, but she didn't have any thoughts of refuting it either, since the princess was still the princess, she couldn't compare to her.

"Since the princess has already spoken, there's no need to be polite anymore. Eat." The Third Elder said.

She sat agilely on the left side of Lin Mo, causing Lin Mo to feel that she was not able to eat as he personally helped her without the help of a palace maid. Qing Ling was even more excited, pointing to and fro her fingers, indicating that the two of them had a good relationship, which made the princess and Qin Xinyin a little jealous.

If they didn't think Qing Ling was male, they would definitely be jealous. However, this behavior had already made the princess unhappy.

Even though Lin Mo felt that the atmosphere in his surroundings was a little different, he hoped that he wouldn't have to worry about all this, and that he could just have a casual discussion with about food and drinks, making himself more peaceful and tranquil.

Fortunately, the princess had nothing to say, so she could not say anything more when the two of them were discussing food and drinks. On the other hand, the surrounding palace maids were dumbfounded. Why were their relationship with these two men so good that they couldn't care less about the two great beauties, and Princess Qian Qian?

Lin Mo was naturally happy in his heart, so as to not feel uncomfortable being caught between his senior sister and the princess. The Third Elder was naturally playing dumb, and even joined the discussion between the two of them.

The princess had wanted to see how inexperienced they were, but she didn't expect them to eat so much. Even she was hungry, but just as she was thinking this, the door to the dining hall opened and the princess looked up, her face filled with displeasure.

Those who were able to enter this room were not ordinary people. Even if the royal family didn't have the permission of the princess or the royal family, they still wouldn't casually enter, and the people who entered were naturally members of the royal family.

"Little sister, I heard that you were entertaining guests here. Why didn't you call big brother over? This big brother also wants to join in the fun." A well-dressed young man said as he walked in.

He wore a yellow robe embroidered with dragons and a purple gold crown. He looked like a king, but his eyes were a bit cold. He didn't seem to be able to make people feel any sort of closeness to him. Instead, he gave them a sense of respect.

"Big brother, I only invited a few of my friends for a meal. What are you joining in for?" The princess said to the well-dressed man impatiently.

Only then did Lin Mo and the others look up to see who it was. When they saw well-dressed man wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown on his head, and heard the princess calling him big brother, they immediately knew that this person was the current prince.

His eldest son, Xiao Mingyi, was the current dynasty's crown prince. His second son, Xiao Mingwu, was the second prince, and the princess was ranked third. Furthermore, the surname of the Great Ming Country Royal Family was Xiao Mingyi.

's arrival had caught Lin Mo and the others off guard, and they didn't know how to communicate with him.

Although they knew that the king had two sons, they did not know whether this one was the crown prince or the second prince. Even the third elder had never seen him before.

Xiao Mingwu walked to the princess's side and sat down with a faint smile on his face: "Little sister, what kind of friends can make you put in such effort and even specially treat them to a meal? As my big brother, I haven't even seen you treat me once, so I want to see what kind of friends they are."

Ming Yi shrugged her shoulders helplessly: "You keep an eye on them, it's them, they're my friends from just now, nothing special, you definitely aren't interested, it's better if you leave, there's nothing fun about it."

Ming Yi wanted her second brother to leave quickly, because she didn't want Xiao Mingwu to disturb their meal. But today, Xiao Mingwu wasn't passing by here, he had specifically come to visit Lin Mo.

"Little sister, you really aren't giving face to big brother by doing this. At the very least, you should introduce me to big brother." Xiao Mingwu obviously did not plan to leave, and wanted Ming Yi to introduce him.

Normally, her brother would never come into contact with people from the lower classes, not to mention ordinary people like Lin Mo. What was wrong with him today, to actually come over and get to know Lin Mo on his own accord.

Ming Yi also understood that her second brother had not come to make friends, but to cause trouble.

"Second Brother, you specially came to look for them, right? Did you hear some news?" Ming Yi asked.

Only then did Xiao Mingwu laugh: "Little sister is right, recently I heard people always say that little sister made a few friends and took care of them, and seemed to take special care of one of their disciples, so big brother naturally wants to see what this person is like, to be able to make you think so highly of him."

However, Ming Yi said unhappily: "You must have listened to Murong Xin's words to come here, right?"

Ming Yi was naturally aware of the fact that Murong Xin was the closest to him. Normally, Murong Xin was Xiao Mingwu's right-hand man, and would help him do many things, which was also a mutual demand between them. Xiao Mingwu was a prince, and Murong Xin was the eldest son of the number one family in Great Ming Country.

Ming Yi knew that she would definitely tell Xiao Mingwu everything that had happened here. She only wanted Xiao Mingwu to drive away Lin Mo and the others, so Ming Yi was obviously unhappy.

However, Xiao Mingwu said with a sinister smile: "Little sister, you're thinking too much. Even though Murong Xin had said that in front of me, I wouldn't listen to the words of an outsider either. "I just want to meet your friend. This brother won't be too excessive, will he?"

With regards to Xiao Mingwu's request, Ming Yi naturally had no way of declining it. He was her own big brother after all, so Ming Yi said: "Alright then, I can introduce them to you, but you can't make things difficult for them."

Xiao Mingwu nodded: "I'm little sister's friend, how could I make things difficult for them, little sister, don't worry."

The relationship between Ming Yi and this brother of his was ordinary, especially when he was very close to Murong Xin, and Ming Yi didn't want to be more familiar with him, she pointed at Lin Mo and introduced him one by one.

"He is an elder of the Immortal Sword Sect. Beside him are the disciples Lin Mo and Qin Xinyin and the other two are their attendants."

Ming Yi quickly introduced Lin Mo, but it didn't seem like an official introduction because she didn't want Xiao Mingwu to get to know them at all, and that was because he didn't have good intentions.

Xiao Mingwu had already noticed Lin Mo long ago, he was a bit more composed amongst the male disciples here. As for Qing Ling, who was dressed as a follower, he could tell at a glance that she was not a main disciple with a glance. It was just that his attention immediately shifted away from Lin Mo, because he saw a peerless beauty, Qin Xinyin.
