762: Chapter 501 762: Chapter 501 Yan Weiwei felt a great sense of happiness and importance at this grand engagement banquet.
Ye Tian stayed by her side throughout.
At the engagement banquet, Yan Weiwei wore the most noble jewelry, which included gifts from Ye Tian, Jiang Tang, and other luxurious adornments provided by various attendees.
Others could sense the extraordinary nature of the jewelry on this woman.
From the jewelry she wore, a strong presence of spiritual energy and power could be felt.
Standing beside her was also very comfortable, with a surge of energy that invigorated the body, compelling those around her to stand by her side or nearby in silence to absorb the energy emanating from her jewelry.
Today, Yan Weiwei was the star of the show, a dazzling flower.
Her presence made people reconsider their prior assumptions that an ordinary woman can also be strong.
Long Feifeng watched from a distance, originally intending to cause a disturbance and intimidate this ordinary woman.
However, the display of her magical treasure jewelry turned Long Feifeng into a clown at the event.
If it were for the sake of saving face, she should have left the scene as soon as she could under the eunuch’s supervision in the palace, to prevent further embarrassment.
Long Feifeng was not content, realizing that even the congratulatory gifts sent by her father, the King, were not as precious as the items in the other woman’s dowry.
This didn’t matter so much to her; what concerned her was where this woman had obtained such jewelry.
Many attractive pieces, desired by women in the Cultivation World, including magical treasure jewelry that she had never even seen in the palace.
Her recent travels had also not revealed any shops selling such fine jewelry.
Long Feifeng had never seen such gems; White Crystal Stones, golden Crystal Stones.
Such stones were highly valued in the Cultivation World, some so rare they were unsellable.
Why did this woman possess so many of these precious gem-laden magical treasures?
Long Feifeng yearned to discover the source of these gems, unable to fathom what virtues this ordinary woman possessed to be adorned with such fine jewelry.
Recently, when she thought of robbing her, she was restrained by someone capable, who turned out to be the man she desired, which broke her heart even more.
The groom was engaged, and his fiancee wasn’t her.
This feeling fueled her desire to extinguish her fury at the world!
Unfortunately, her own abilities had always fallen short.
Long Feifeng’s thoughts also turned towards the two hundred Pills included in Yan Weiwei’s dowry.
These must be the Supreme Elixirs her father had procured recently, which not only improved his health for cultivation but also made him neglect both their family and state affairs.
The greed in Long Feifeng’s eyes and the jealousy in her heart made her want to find a moment when the crowd thinned to meet Yan Weiwei alone.
She wished for the woman to unconditionally offer her the Pills or those beautiful pieces of jewelry.
Such noble jewelry was only suitable for her, Long Feifeng, a member of the royal family.
She longed for the Supreme Elixirs that could rapidly enhance her cultivation; with greater power at her disposal, her leverage would increase.
If she improved her cultivation and with her royal status, Ye Tian would surely regret choosing this commoner and would marry her instead, abandoning the other woman.
Even as Long Feifeng thought of these things, she couldn’t help but smile at the corners of her lips.
Rich daughters from other families also watched secretly, too intimidated to cause trouble during the banquet.
They quickly left after the banquet ended.
As the luncheon wound down and the guests dispersed, Long Feifeng had yet to find an opportunity to see Yan Weiwei alone.
Ye Tian remained steadfastly by Yan Weiwei’s side.
Yan Weiwei’s family members also stayed with her the entire time.
Long Feifeng then discreetly instructed a eunuch to invite Ye Tian with the pretense that the King wished to see him.
Ye Tian was unaware that the eunuch’s summons was false and believed it possible that the King, who hadn’t held court for several days, might genuinely request his presence after emerging from seclusion.
“Weiwei, you go back to the courtyard first, and I’ll return later.”
“Sure, go ahead,” Yan Weiwei nodded in agreement, understanding that Ye Tian, the Young General, had many duties and would be busy after the engagement banquet.
Yan Weiwei constantly reminded herself that she was engaged to a responsible man, burdened with heavy duties, who couldn’t spend excessive time on romantic affairs.
In the Cultivation World, couples didn’t have much time to spend together, often dedicating hours to their cultivation and seclusion.
“Princess, the Young General has left!”
A palace maid by Long Feifeng’s side stealthily surveyed the situation and reported back.
“Give my command for that common woman to come see me, right here in the General’s Mansion garden,” Long Feifeng instructed.
“Understood.”
The palace maid left to summon Yan Weiwei.
Long Feifeng wasn’t new to the General’s Mansion, familiar with its expansive gardens and various landmarks.
She and another palace maid headed over to the garden first.
After Ye Tian had departed, Yan Weiwei made ready to return to her quarters with the assistance of Cai Xiangxiang.
Many of the day’s guests, be they relatives, friends, or those who attended out of curiosity, were there to witness her spectacle and meet her famed fiance.
Yan Weiwei knew just a few of her family members present and didn’t need to attend to them.
Nor did she need to see off the guests.
“Miss Yan, our Princess invites you to meet in the grand garden,” a palace maid spoke, someone Yan Weiwei recognized as the maiden who had given her trouble from the Princess’s entourage.
“Miss…” Cai Xiangxiang voiced her concern when Yan Weiwei hesitated between declining the invitation and accepting.
