This is a room of utmost luxury, where all descriptions of opulence seem to lose their luster.
The air is filled with a faint fragrance, emanating from incense made from the horn of the Thunder Marsh White Rhino, each gram worth a fortune.
The floor is polished from the body of the ten-thousand-year Bloodwood Demon, smooth as a mirror yet warm as jade.
Here, even an inconspicuous little object might possess an astonishing origin.
And on the sofas and recliners in the room sit many young elites with extraordinary backgrounds.
Both men and women, each exuding an extraordinary demeanor, and even the weakest among them has reached the Great Luo level, indicating how terrifying their backgrounds must be.
Yet, such a group of people do not dare to speak; the vast room is utterly silent.
Because everyone’s gaze is fixed on the man standing by the window.
This man stands with his hands behind his back, looking down at the ground, his gaze sweeping over Xue An and the others, finally stopping on Mu Wushuang, then a smile curls at his lips as he softly chuckles with an amused tone.
"So this is the so-called Holy Maiden of the Execution God Temple?"
As soon as his words fall, a man standing in the shadowed corner immediately steps forward, glances at Mu Wushuang, then nods, "Yes, Your Highness, this woman is indeed the Holy Maiden of the Execution God Temple."
At this moment, his face is revealed under the light, an exceedingly handsome young man.
Especially his eyes, which shine brightly, revealing his extraordinary cultivation level.
If others were present, they would certainly exclaim upon seeing this man.
For he is the chief steward of the White Jade Tower, and also one of the direct disciples of Shangqing Mountain, Teng Hongbo.
In The Purple Microcosm City, Teng Hongbo is further known as Prince Bai Yuwang, a top-tier existence; pared to him, Leopard Third Master is just a small fry.
Yet, even with his status, he shows such respect to this man, a scene that would astonish anyone witnessing it.
But Teng Hongbo relishes it, even his eyes filled with respect.
Indeed, even within the Thousand Sect Profound Conclave, this man is considered a top-tier figure.
For his father is none other than the famous Master of the Human Emperor’s Palace, Luo Wuqing.
That’s right!
He is Luo Rongjin, the arrogant Eastern Palace Crown Prince of the Human Emperor’s Palace, known for riding in a carriage drawn by the Golden-Eyed Aquatic Avoidance Beast.
At this moment, after hearing Teng Hongbo’s explanation, a touch of sarcasm appears on Luo Rongjin’s face.
"I missed the last Thousand Sect Profound Conclave because I was in seclusion training. I’ve heard that Xiao Tiansha made quite a sensation, even taking the primordial yin of this Execution God Temple Holy Maiden. Tsk tsk, what a lively event I missed!"
Teng Hongbo dared not make a sound.
The others in the room did not even dare to breathe loudly.
For they all know very well that this Eastern Palace Crown Prince of the Human Emperor’s Palace is extremely at odds with Xiao Tiansha, the peerless prodigy of the Profound Ming Tomb.
Faced with such top-level sect disciple grievances, it’s best to keep one’s mouth shut.
Just then, Luo Rongjin suddenly chuckled and then said, "Isn’t Lady Yunjun ready yet?"
"Just received a message saying she’s dressing up, should be here shortly! Should I go urge her?" Teng Hongbo asked.
"Oh, there’s no rush!" Luo Rongjin waved his hand, smilingly saying, "A beauty should take her time to adorn herself properly. How could I spoil the scene by urging a lovely woman? Wouldn’t that make me seem unromantic?"
"No wonder you have countless beautiful confidantes, Your Highness, you truly understand women the best. I am rather crude and unrefined!" Teng Hongbo said with a smile.
"Haha, I like to hear that, but you are doing quite well yourself. In this vast White Jade Tower, you’re the least vulgar!"
Luo Rongjin laughed, patting Teng Hongbo’s shoulder.
The atmosphere in the room relaxed, and smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.
But in the next second, the smile on Luo Rongjin’s face vanished as he said in an indifferent tone.
"Since Lady Yunjun hasn’t arrived, let’s have someone bring up this Holy Maiden Mu. It’s a good opportunity to have some fun while waiting!"
Teng Hongbo was stunned, looking at Luo Rongjin with some astonishment.
"What, didn’t you understand?" Luo Rongjin coldly asked.
"Oh no, I’ll take care of it right now." He snapped to attention, bowed deeply, then left respectfully.
Luo Rongjin clasped his hands behind his back, gazed at the scene below, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
"If Xiao Tiansha can play, then naturally, I, Luo Rongjin can as well."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze toward these men and women, saying calmly, "What do you all think?"
These people immediately nodded.
"Exactly, what His Highness said is absolutely right. That Xiao Tiansha dares to pare with His Highness?" a man mented first.
"Tsk tsk, it’s her fortune that His Highness fancies this Mu Wushuang!" said a woman, her tone filled with envy.
As for the others, they began to clamor, leading to a wave of flattery.
But at this moment, Luo Rongjin stepped forward to the man who had spoken first.
The man was sitting in a recliner, so Luo Rongjin looked down at him with icy eyes.
The room fell silent again.
Panic flashed in the man’s eyes, and then he forced a smile, "Your Highness, you...."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Rongjin suddenly raised his hand.
Slap!
A tremendously loud slap echoed.
The man was lifted off the ground, flying over a dozen zhang before crashing heavily to the ground.
Actually, with his strength, he shouldn’t have been knocked away, but since the one acting was Luo Rongjin, he didn’t dare to resist and took the slap directly.
After landing, the man’s face swelled visibly, and he stared in shock at Luo Rongjin, daring not to utter a word.
Luo Rongjin extended a hand, and immediately a maid handed over a white hot towel.
Luo Rongjin gently wiped his hands, speaking in a detached tone, "You said Xiao Tiansha is nothing, but since I am his opponent, then what might I be?"
The man’s plexion instantly turned pale, pleading softly, "Your Highness...."
Luo Rongjin didn’t even raise an eyelid, "Take him away, I don’t wish to see him again."
At the mand, immediately several armored soldiers stepped out from the void, dragging the man off.
Despair appeared in the man’s eyes, but he didn’t dare to beg for mercy, silently letting himself be taken away.
At this point, Luo Rongjin casually tossed the towel aside, scanning the room, then smiling slightly.
"Why are you all standing around? e, continue drinking!"
"Ah, yes, yes, continue drinking!" These people awakened as if from a dream, hurriedly putting on smiles and resumed drinking.
Meanwhile, downstairs in the White Jade Tower, the situation had already reached a sword-drawn bowstring tension.
