Chapter 502: Chapter 213 It’s Busy Today! (Subscription Request)_3

Especially among those people, there are always a few incorrigible wastrels approaching, endlessly annoying.

Xiao Xuanzhen was also somewhat impatient, and after dismissing a few more "young talents," she looked at Lin Xueru and asked:

"Junior Sister, why don’t we go inside first? Who knows when Junior Brother Chen Yi will come; it’s quite inconvenient for us to stay here."

Lin Xueru glanced at the expressions of several people, just about to nod, when she saw a carriage coming from the end of the alley, with Duke Xing’s Mansion’s Lin banner hanging on it.

"My second brother is here; let’s go in with him."

The others had no objections.

When Lin Jixin arrived, after greeting Gu Tiangang, he entered Zhou Residence together with Lin Xueru and others.

"Gu Tiangang from the Grand Void Sect, here to offer congratulations!"

"Duke Xing’s Mansion here to offer congratulations..."

In the front courtyard.

Zhou Tiance, clad in a green robe with a straight back, personally greeted guests. His gaunt face revealed a hint of sickness, yet couldn’t hide his joy.

Beside him, Chen Yuan wore a purple robe, with a black jade belt from which hung the Wan Jun blade and a waist card inscribed with ’Duke Jingye.’

The silver-white hair complemented his rugged, jade-like face with a peculiar charm.

But unlike Zhou Tiance’s smile, he remained unsmiling, nodding to each guest.

At this time, Gu Tiangang, having written his name, brought Lin Xueru and others into the front courtyard.

Zhou Tiance, with cloudy eyes looking at them, still smiling, greeted, "Master Gu, your presence was unexpected, and I failed to meet you at the door."

Gu Tiangang waved the horsetail whisk gently and said calmly, "Old Marquis, there’s no need for such courtesy. This time, I’m here to congratulate Chen Yuan."

Zhou Tiance wasn’t offended by what he heard and immediately greeted Lin Jixin, who represented Duke Xing’s Mansion.

"Hasn’t Hansong finished court yet?"

"Replying to Old Marquis, Father is still in the Imperial City. Mother specially sent me and my sister to offer congratulations."

"Guests are welcome, please come in!"

Chen Yuan looked at Lin Xueru and the others, scanning the room before unnaturally asking: freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Will Second Brother come too?"

Lin Xueru didn’t think much, smiling back, "Brother Yi will come, but I don’t know when."

"Is that so..."

Chen Yuan forced a smile, greeted the group, and had the servants lead them inside.

With the servants cheerfully announcing arrivals, the atmosphere in Zhou Residence became even livelier.

Seeing this, the smile on Zhou Tiance’s face deepened.

Taking advantage of a gap between guests, he looked at Chen Yuan beside him and asked:

"Yuan Er, do you have something on your mind? Are you worried about someone from the Chen Family coming?"

Chen Yuan shook his head lightly: "At this stage, I have nothing to worry about."

After speaking, he paused and then asked: "Grandfather, who else is coming today?"

Zhou Tiance, seeing his expression back to normal, thought for a moment and said, "There should still be several guests to arrive."

"Royal family members, representatives from Prince Zhenbei’s Mansion, Duke Wuan, Marquis Taishan, and a few other marquises are expected to send delegates."

"In addition, other families and sect members friendly with our Zhou Family will come."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Today is very lively."

Not long after.

Representing Prince Zhenbei’s Mansion, Du Yanqing and Du Yan arrived, while Wang Yongnian and his elder brother Wang Can came on behalf of Marquis Taishan and Wang Xidu to offer congratulations.

Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye came alone, one representing the Left Minister Xie Jing, the other representing Black Armor Guard’s Deputy Commander Jiang Ziqi.

The long-delayed Wei Dynasty Royal Family sent Wei Jinyu, whom Emperor Wei betrothed to Chen Yuan.

"Princess, please!"

Seeing Chen Yuan’s expression turn cold, Zhou Tiance stepped forward to receive the elegantly dressed, colorful Wei Jinyu.

"Old Marquis, no need to trouble yourself, I can go in on my own."

Wei Jinyu glanced at Chen Yuan, biting her lip slightly with a hint of grievance.

"Princess, please be careful; the mansion is somewhat rundown, let me accompany you inside."

Zhou Tiance smiled and led Wei Jinyu towards the central courtyard.

Before leaving, he signaled Chen Ke to accompany Chen Yuan.

"Old Marquis," halfway, Wei Jinyu asked in a low tone, "Is Chen Yuan really dissatisfied with Father Emperor’s betrothal?"

"If it were my younger sister, Wei Xiaoyun, would he, would he gladly accept?"

Zhou Tiance’s gaunt face showed difficulty, knowing well the reason Chen Yuan had become like this, yet he couldn’t say much.

After all, Chen Yuan’s current state was largely caused by him.

"Princess, you and Yuan Er met in the Southern Barbarians, you should understand him somewhat, right?"

Wei Jinyu hesitated and nodded, sighing inwardly, so it was because of that elder sister after all.

"Old Marquis, if possible, I beseech you to persuade Chen Yuan to accept Father Emperor’s betrothal."

"Even if he despises me, he can ignore me after marriage; I’m worried Father Emperor will blame him."

Zhou Tiance glanced at her and nodded, "Rest assured, Princess, I will try to persuade him."

But persuasion is one thing, he could no longer force Chen Yuan to agree.

Seeing Wei Jinyu seated in the central hall, surrounded by Wang Yang, Xie Dongan, and others, her mood lifted a bit.

"Why are you all here?"

"Grandfather is unable to show up." Xie Dongan glanced at Wang Yang and said lightly.

Jiang Ye hesitated for a moment, only saying it was a coincidence he had no matters to attend to.

But Wang Yang did not look much at Wei Jinyu, his gaze fixed on Hua Xianzi.

After a long while, Wang Yang retracted his gaze and asked thoughtfully:

"Do you think Chen Yi will come?"

Xie Dongan frowned, "Why would Senior Brother ask about Heroic Marquis?"

"There was an incident at the Academy earlier..."

Wang Yang recounted what he had heard, his tone displeased:

"If Chen Yi comes, I just want to ask why he’s behaving so domineeringly?"
