Chapter 56.3 : Peace and Calm

How this would spread among the people was still not known, but something big had just happened in the Green Wave Kingdom's Imperial Palace.

The Green Wave Emperor had been carrying out his promise to bestow rewards upon this year's highly talented male and female saints but his face was rather resentful right at that instant. "What did you say?"

In the grand hall then, not only were the Green Wave Kingdom's people there, people from the Martial Lands Kingdom and the Water Edge Kingdom were also present. And on all their faces, was a strange and indiscernible expression. From what the Green Wave Emperor could see, they were looks of undisguised ridicule.

Right below the throne, the look on the face of the young lady in a light green chiffon dress was neither servile nor overbearing, though not showing the slightest tinge of fear. "I seek for Your Majesty to allow the arranged marriage between the Crown Prince and I to be called off."

Yan Su who stood below the throne had his brows tightly furrowed up and it had not once relaxed ever since he came back into the palace. Fortunately Yan Ning Luo had knew enough to consider her father's ability to withstand such a shock and she had informed him of her intention beforehand. She had then just proceeded to ignore the ugly shade that had immediately come to show on his face that had been quaking with rage.

Although the Three Great Sects stood beyond Imperial authourity, but her actions was as good as delivering a tight slap upon the Emperor's face no matter how one looked at it.

[When Xuanyuan Che had won the position of the male saint all these years, why had Yan Ning Luo not made any moves towards this at all? Immediately after Xuanyuan Che lost this year, she already could not wait to annul the engagement already? Did she have to make it look so ugly?]

Yan Ning Luo ignored all the various kinds of looks the surrounding people were looking at her with and went on to say one word at a time: "I'm deeply honoured for the generous favour and love Your Majesty has shown to me ever since I was very young. Besides my father, Yan Ning Luo also sees Your Majesty as an elder I like the most. But when it comes to affairs of the heart, it cannot be coerced. Having already known the Crown Prince for so many years, maybe our personalities are not suited for each other and that is why we have not developed any feelings. Hence, I already had a discussion with the Crown Prince about this many days ago."

"This time, Yan Ning Luo is not asking for any reward to be bestowed, but will only ask for Your Majesty to grant me this wish."

The shade of the Green Wave Emperor's face still did not look good as he turned to look at Xuanyuan Che. "You actually discussed about dissolving the engagement on your own in private?"

"Yes." Xuanyuan Che answered without reb.u.t.ting for once and agreed with Yan Ning Luo's words. "Towards Princess Ning Feng, besides admiration and respect, I have no other feelings towards her. We might be more suited to just remain fellow disciples as juniors and seniors."

"The two of you….." The Green Wave Emperor's teeth clenched together, seemingly unable to find any words to vent his frustrations.

[Had they really so displeased with the marriage he had arranged and bestowed on them?]

[That brat had always been telling him that he did not like Ning Luo from a very young age. He had thought that it was a little kid throwing a tantrum and playing around and had never thought that the two of them would come today right in front of the people from the two other kingdoms and slap their own faces….. These two scoundrels!]

"Heh heh heh. A melon fruit forcibly picked off is never sweet. Why would Your Majesty insist on putting a pair of loggerheads together?"

The person who spoke, was invariably Baili Ji Ran who almost seemed fearful that things weren't already feisty enough. "Look at the Crown Prince who is so extraordinarily handsome, and Princess Ning Feng is beautiful as a G.o.ddess. Their suitors must surely be able to form a line all the way outside the palace already. Although such an important matter like marriage is usually decided through a match ordered by the parents, but they would only be blissful when they like each other right?"

"Isn't what Young Lord Baili said right on the dot? How many matches decided by one's parents have already resulted in unhappy couples?"

"That's true, that's true. Even if the marriage engagement is dissolved, isn't Princess Ning Feng still the Green Wave Kingdom's top female prodigy? That fact still wouldn't run away. Your Majesty just likes Princess Ning Feng too much I think….. Hahaha."

Someone chirped in agreement, many of them playing peacemaker.

This left the Green Wave Emperor with no other choice. Although he was angry that Yan Ning Luo had made him lose face before so many people, he still genuinely liked her and the anger dissipated out of him as he agreed to her request.

However, Xuanyuan Che discreetly curled up the corners of his lips. [What if that woman really comes to run off with the Duke of Vast Seas one fine day?]
