Everyone bent at the waist.
"Greetings, Elder!"
"Greetings, Elder!"
Even Bai Xiaolan, with her status as a princess, slightly bowed.
Only Fang Yu did not have this habit, standing upright and directly looking at the elderly man without any subservience.
Both of them were old n.
But...
The elderly man on the steps had imasurable cultivation. His gaze swept over and landed on Fang Yu, who had not bowed.
In the Elf Clan, etiquette is extrely important, with many details that elves value greatly.
Not observing etiquette was a major transgression.
The older elder rely glanced at Fang Yu lightly, outwardly undisturbed, though inwardly he was slightly angered...
It was quite rare to see soone not bowing to an elder.
"So the princess has returned! Coincidentally, today the elders and Elf King Your Majesty are discussing this matter, now that the princess is back, let's discuss it together."
Following that.
The elder's gaze fell on Zhou Yunsheng, saying, "Nephew, you are also involved in this matter, co along as well."
Zhou Yunsheng bent over and said, "Yes."
After speaking, he turned away with no desire to speak to Fang Yu.
Directly ignored.
Bai Xiaolan didn't care, supporting Fang Yu up the steps.
As soon as they stepped onto the stairs.
Zhou Yunsheng deliberately said loudly, "Princess Your Highness absolutely must not... This man hails from the Southern Alien Clan, just an ordinary person, not one of our people, nor a friend to our clan. He cannot enter the palace. Besides, the elders ntioned they are discussing important matters with Your Majesty, how can a stranger be allowed in?"
As expected.
The elder in white robes slowly turned, once again glanced at the aged Fang Yu, his gaze moved to Princess Bai Xiaolan and said:
"Princess Your Highness, the palace is a forbidden place, outsiders must not enter!"
Bai Xiaolan replied, "He is not an outsider... he is the prince consort chosen by this princess!"
Upon hearing this.
The elder's expression paused, revealing a displeased look.
As she spoke these words.
Bai Xiaolan didn't care anymore!
For a woman to have such courage, directly declaring Fang Yu as her prince consort, could only an that the situation she faced was extrely complex.
Fang Yu suddenly felt...
Arriving at the Extre North seed as though everything had been preditated.
Here, it was as if there was a huge trap.
"Prince consort?"
The elder furrowed his brow, re-examined Fang Yu, and ultimately said, "Princess Your Highness, this matter is not to be joked about, the Elf King Your Majesty is waiting for you!"
"I am not joking! I reiterate in my capacity as princess, this Mr. Fang is indeed the prince consort!"
This ti.
As Bai Xiaolan spoke, she raised the jade token in her hand.
The jade token rged with snowflakes in the wind, as if it was nothing at all.
But the elder and Zhou Yunsheng's expressions changed dramatically.
The jade token proved that her words were not a joke.
Bai Xiaolan was seriously declaring a matter.
The frightening part was... whether this was an act of defiance or sothing else? Because they simply couldn't understand why, as the best genius of the Zhou Family, Zhou Yunsheng was incomparable to this old man. If she weren't in love, there was no need to sacrifice herself to benefit an outsider.
"Princess Your Highness... since you say it sincerely, I must also emphasize sincerely! Being a prince consort is no easy task..."
Zhou Yunsheng turned his head, his cold and disdainful eyes fell upon Fang Yu, his expression filled with youthful arrogance, pride, and extre prejudice.
"Old geezer... I truly admire your courage to stand here... If you dare continue forward, I assure you, you won't survive three days on Elf lands! This isn't a threat, but given your skills and qualifications, you simply can't last three days here! This young man advises you, knowing when to retreat is wise, don't foolishly dream of what you can't attain!" Zhou Yunsheng said word by word.
The elder also said, "What my nephew speaks may be unpleasant, but it is true... This Northern Country is exceptionally cold, its chill relentless during the day, only cultivators can endure safely, its nights even colder, penetrating the bones! Without Gang Qi to protect, surviving three days is impossible! And you, at your age... needing assistance to walk, surviving the first night seems improbable... So dreams must at least consider reality, have the princess arrange soone to send you back."
Listening to their words.
Bai Xiaolan originally intended to say sothing, but at that mont, Fang Yu raised his hand to stop her.
Fang Yu stood upright, hands behind his back, calmly said, "I originally planned to leave... but now I must indeed go inside. After all, your princess said I am the prince consort... According to Elf Clan rules, if this Young Master Zhou insulted as an 'old geezer', isn't it a major breach? Haha... Surely you're not going to tell the Elf Clan's rules only apply to outsiders?"
Zhou Yunsheng and the elder were imdiately rendered speechless.
Unexpectedly, the old geezer's words were so fierce.
But no matter what, in the face of Fang Yu's words, they had no rebuttal.
Weren't you saying rules above all?
Zhou Yunsheng insulting the prince consort as "old geezer," this is indeed majorly disrespectful!
The elder's expression twitched slightly, forcing a smile as he said, "Old Sir misunderstood... Of course, the Elf Clan's rules apply to us... Zhou Yunsheng was indeed rude first, I will have him apologize!"
Gave Zhou Yunsheng a aningful glance.
Zhou Yunsheng's face reddened, wishing he could slap this old codger in front of him, but with the princess and elder present, he couldn't act.
Could only swallow his grievance silently.
"Earlier... I was greatly offensive, I offer my apologies!" Zhou Yunsheng bent over grudgingly, apologizing.
"Let's forget it... Your attitude lacks sincerity... Anyone with discernnt can see how much you'd love to kill . Don't rush to deny it, even as a re ordinary person I can see it, no way you cultivators can't spot it, that would just make feel you're insulting my intelligence. I'm old, and broad-minded, won't hold it against you... Princess Your Highness, let's go inside."
Saying this.
Fang Yu walked forward with hands behind his back, stepping onto the stairs.
Bai Xiaolan, normally not eloquent, felt a surge of joy.
Never before had she felt such vindication, it was so refreshing, so enjoyable...
Bai Xiaolan never expected Fang Yu would stand up for her in this way... her heart was full of gratitude.
However.
This matter, to Zhou Yunsheng, was sheer humiliation.
His dignity couldn't stand it.
Watching the back of Fang Yu and the princess, Zhou Yunsheng muttered through clenched teeth, "Old fossil... let's see how long you can last!"
Anyway, the Extre North's environnt and temperature are extrely harsh.
Without being a cultivator, survival is impossible.
Sooner or later he'll freeze to death here.
With this thought, Zhou Yunsheng felt much better.
Hurriedly followed into the palace.
