Chapter 96: Chapter 27 Hush, Be Quiet
After the Yunshang Exhibition officially started, people began to enter one after another.
Only a portion of them were genuinely interested in the Yunshang Exhibition; most were probably just there to meet some people.
Different people were chatting with each other, even Zhao Linglong, the president of the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce, was no exception.
The people around the eldest princess and the sixteenth princess were the most numerous. Regardless of which noble family they came from, everyone wanted to be acquainted with the royal family.
Moreover, this was not just any royal family, but the eldest princess, the most favored daughter of the emperor of Lieguo.
The eldest princess, who wanted to appreciate the clothes at the Yunshang Exhibition, felt a bit displeased being surrounded by so many noble children.
However, she did not show her displeasure, as many of these noble families were very important to Lieguo.
If they could be befriended, then they should be; even if they couldn’t, they must not be offended.
Unlike the eldest princess, the sixteenth princess pouted and showed her displeasure on her face.
She was tired of hearing all kinds of compliments; she just wanted to find some clothes she was interested in and buy them.
Clearly, she and her sister came to the Yunshang Exhibition to appreciate these beautiful clothes, but now a group of people had stopped them.
“Sister…” The sixteenth princess gently tugged at the eldest princess’s sleeve.
“Changzhi, be patient.” The eldest princess naturally noticed her sister’s impatience, but no matter how impatient she was, she couldn’t say it out loud, nor could she show what she was thinking on her face.
“Alright.” The sixteenth princess muttered.
But now she had no interest in listening to the noble children and was daydreaming.
Her eyes wandered around, occasionally spotting some stunning clothes, which she would remember and later find an opportunity to buy from the chamber of commerce.
She was determined to wear beautiful clothes and receive high praise from her father and mother.
But suddenly, she froze.
Because she saw, not far away, the cultivator in coarse clothes from last night standing with a young girl in front of a piece of clothing, seemingly talking about something.
Seeing that guy made her furious.
It was this guy who had crippled all her attendants. If she returned to the imperial city, she would definitely ask her father to teach him a lesson.
The sixteenth princess sneaked a glance at her sister and, seeing that she wasn’t looking at her, slipped out from the group of noble children.
Once out, she angrily ran towards He Youzhou, like a little kitten with its fur standing on end.
This arrogant little princess is now preparing to regain her dignity from He Youzhou.
Despite General Wolf’s warning last night not to provoke He Youzhou, she is a princess of the Lie Kingdom and cannot tolerate this humiliation.
“Senior, that little princess is walking over,” Lin Qingxue said, catching a glimpse of the Sixteenth Princess out of the corner of her eye.
“Huh? Little princess? Who?” He Youzhou, who was carefully examining a piece of armor, asked in confusion.
“Uh…” Lin Qingxue, who had realized last night that He Youzhou didn’t care about the royal family, couldn’t believe that this senior didn’t even bother to remember, “She’s one of the masters of those cultivators you crippled last night.”
“The Sixteenth Princess of the Lie Kingdom,” Lin Qingxue added, fearing that He Youzhou still wouldn’t understand who was coming.
“Hey! You! Look at me!” The Sixteenth Princess, with her hands on her hips, glared fiercely at He Youzhou.
He Youzhou lifted his eyelids and glanced at the little girl.
In this Yunshang Exhibition, he was one of the few people here to appreciate the clothes and had no interest in interacting with people he didn’t know.
If it were someone with similar interests, He Youzhou would be happy to make friends, but it was clear that this little girl wasn’t here to befriend him.
“Is there something you need, little one?” He Youzhou asked curiously, looking down at the Sixteenth Princess.
Although he wasn’t a tall, burly man, he could still look down on a little girl who hadn’t grown up yet.
“Little one!? How dare you call me little one!” The Sixteenth Princess, who had already been infuriated when He Youzhou called her a little girl last time, was even more enraged by this “little one.”
“Isn’t that what you are?” He Youzhou thought it was perfectly natural to call her little one.
“I’ll have the guards of Wolf City arrest you!” The Sixteenth Princess initially wanted to say she’d have her attendants arrest He Youzhou, but she remembered that her attendants had already been wiped out, so she quickly changed her words.
“Senior, there are a few Wolf City guards watching us,” Lin Qingxue also noticed that there were always Wolf City guards secretly protecting the Sixteenth Princess.
“Let them watch. I haven’t broken any laws of Wolf City,” He Youzhou said calmly.
The only thing he was worried about was being wanted by Tianyan Sect; everything else was unimportant.
“Hurry up…” The willful Sixteenth Princess completely forgot the warnings from the Eldest Princess and General Wolf and wanted to shout.
However, He Youzhou covered her mouth with one hand and made a shushing gesture, “Shh, don’t disturb me while I’m looking at the clothes.”
After the Yunshang Exhibition, there was another segment where people were invited to wear these clothes and display them on stage.
Having read countless ancient texts, He Youzhou naturally knew that this was called a fashion show, and the people wearing the clothes were called models.
He was very interested in this segment and didn’t want his enthusiasm to be ruined by this wild girl.
“Mmm mmm mmm…” The Sixteenth Princess looked at He Youzhou in horror, realizing she couldn’t speak at all.
It was just covering her mouth, so why couldn’t she say a word?
She felt that He Youzhou wasn’t even using much force to cover her mouth.
The Sixteenth Princess knew that the guards of Wolf City were secretly protecting her, so she quickly used a panicked look to seek help.
But He Youzhou just made another shushing gesture, “I don’t intend to do anything to her, so just watch from the side.”
“You too, don’t make a fuss,” he said, looking at the Sixteenth Princess with what he thought was the kindest expression, “Go back to your sister.”
“Did you hear me?” he said softly.
The Sixteenth Princess, who had never experienced death, felt her heart stop in that instant.
She had seen many people, but had never faced such a strong premonition of death.
Even when she was taken hostage as a child, she had never been so afraid.
The Sixteenth Princess nodded like a pecking chick; she didn’t want to die, she wanted to live well.
He Youzhou was very satisfied and let go of her hand, waving for her to go back by herself.
After being released, the Sixteenth Princess ran to her sister’s side without looking back, clutching her sister’s clothes.
“Changzhi, where did you go just now?” The Eldest Princess frowned and asked.
Just now, she was wondering why her sister suddenly disappeared, feeling a bit worried.
“Sister, I just went to the restroom.” The Sixteenth Princess stammered.
The Eldest Princess sighed, “Alright, next time don’t leave my side without saying a word.”
