Chapter 365

Mine too!

Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen's soft voices came.

"Yes, your clothes and your mother's clothes are the same—they're all Heavenly Silkworm Silk!" Ye Qingran said in a particularly gentle tone.

But hearing that, the crowd almost spat blood.

The mother and her two sons all wore Heavenly Silkworm Silk clothing— isn't that too extravagant?!

Please, three of you, this way.

The Donglin Emperor's voice came from the side door of Jin Luan Hall, and only then did the people inside collect their expressions and sit upright.

Soon, four bright‑yellow figures walked toward the Dragon Throne, chatting and laughing.

Lo and behold, they were the monarchs of Donglin Country, Da Xia Nation, Linyuan Country, and Da Feng Country!

The four monarchs are roughly the same age, all in their early forties.

Each has a fine appearance, an outstanding bearing, dignified without anger, and exudes an imperial aura.

Even one Majesty would be awe‑inspiring enough, but four arriving at once leaves people afraid to breathe.

The crowd rose again in unison.

The four monarchs stood at the highest point, looking down on the crowd.

The crowd again performed the great ritual, greeting the monarchs; for a moment, inside and outside the hall, shouts rose like mountains and seas.

The four monarchs took their seats; the monarchs of three countries cast their gazes downward, apparently searching for Lin Xueyan's trace.

Soon, a figure caught the Da Xia monarch's eye.

He saw a woman seated below, her beauty peerless, her bearing refined, her white robes whiter than snow— like a fairy.

His eyes lit up at once, thinking this must be Lin Xueyan.

But when the two children came into view, he furrowed his brows, seeming doubtful.

"Lin Xueyan, how could she have children? Could she have secretly borne a child with the Emperor Sovereign of Zhu Lu Peak?" The Da Xia monarch thought more and more it was possible.

So he smiled and said, "I suppose this must be Miss Lin Xueyan?"

The crowd followed the Da Xia monarch's gaze and looked over.

Then...

How awkward!

The Da Xia monarch obviously mistook Ye Qingran for Lin Xueyan!

At this time, the Linyuan monarch also saw Ye Qingran, nodded, and praised: "I've heard Miss Lin spent five years at Pearl Peak in the Western Realm Sacred Realm; her celestial beauty is unmatched; seeing her today, she truly lives up to her reputation— no false hero under great fame."

The Da Feng monarch echoed: "She is like an orchid in a secluded valley, and like a snow lotus on Tianshan; Miss Lin truly has perfectly combined the essences of both— how wonderful, how wonderful!"

The crowd: "......"

The more praiseworthy the three monarchs' compliments, the more embarrassed they were.

"Three monarchs, facing Lin Xueyan, praising Ye Qingran— is that really appropriate?"

Someone secretly glanced at Lin Xueyan and saw her face had darkened.

"Pfft~" Xia Zhimeng couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Indeed, no matter how carefully someone dresses, they can't compare to Sister Ran's casual touch‑up!

Comparing people makes you angry to death!

The Donglin Emperor also noticed this embarrassing scene.

He gave a light cough, trying to ease the embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, the three monarchs all turned their gaze to the Donglin Emperor, saying, "Donglin Emperor, you truly have great fortune!"

Donglin Emperor: "......"

"Cough, you got it wrong— this is Lin Xueyan!" The Donglin Emperor pointed at Lin Xueyan.

"What?" The Da Xia monarch blinked, "Impossible— among those present, she has the best bearing and is the most beautiful; how could she not be Lin Xueyan?"

The crowd: "....."

It's heart‑wrenching!

Lin Xueyan felt she was about to die of anger.

Are these three monarchs blind or brainless?

She's so beautiful sitting here— can't they see her?

They actually mistook Ye Qingran for her— that just makes her furious!

After adjusting her mood, Lin Xueyan slowly rose, putting on a proper smile.

"Your Majesties, I am Lin Xueyan." Heaven knows how grit‑her‑teeth she felt saying that.

As soon as she said that, the three monarchs' expressions froze.

They looked at Lin Xueyan, then at Ye Qingran. Although Lin Xueyan is also peerlessly beautiful and has excellent bearing, compared to Ye Qingran she obviously pales— that's why they mistook her.

"Cough, I'm old and my eyesight is poor! Miss Lin, please forgive me!" The Da Xia monarch was the first to respond.

"The Da Xia Emperor overwhelms Xueyan. It's all Xueyan's fault for not being outstanding enough, causing you to mistake the person."

The three monarchs all gave an embarrassed smile, not knowing how to continue.

Just then, a eunuch's loud call came from outside Jin Luan Hall: "The Xuan Yuan Dynasty's Grand General Leng Feng arrives with his lady!"

Their arrival shocked everyone present.

News of Leng Feng's lady in Xiliang City is no secret—but when did Leng Feng arrive?

Even the Lin family were greatly surprised.

Lady Leng's coming was no surprise; His Majesty had sent her an invitation. Moreover, Lady Leng personally promised Lin Xuewei she would attend this state banquet.

But she never said Leng Feng would also come!

Leng Feng arrived, and his demeanor was completely different.

Therefore, upon hearing the eunuch's loud shout, the four national lords were no longer composed.

Although they were each rulers of a state, the combined territory of their four countries still wasn't as large as the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao.

Although Leng Feng was merely a general of the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao, his status and rank were not inferior to those several national lords!

Several national lords rose one after another, descended from the elevated place, and went to greet Leng Feng's arrival.

Not long after, a sturdy middle-aged man, accompanied by a beautiful woman as delicate as a willow in the wind, slowly walked into the hall.

The middle-aged man was, in fact, Leng Feng.

Leng Feng exuded an iron-blooded aura that inspired awe; a simple black robe cloaked his tall, sturdy frame. His facial lines were rugged, his visage handsome, making him an exceptionally fine man.

"Donglin Emperor, Leng Feng greets you." Leng Feng stood before the several national lords and clasped his fists.

His voice was full of vigor.

"Grand General Leng, a pleasure to meet you!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the Donglin Emperor arranged a seat for Leng Feng, but Leng Feng declined.

"Let's just sit together with the Lin family."

The Donglin Emperor naturally would not object.

The Lin family members, however, were flattered and astonished, appearing extremely honored, with pride showing on their faces.

This person is a grand general of the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao; for the Lin family to have any connection with someone like him is simply their honor!

Everyone was looking at the Lin family, their eyes filled with envy.

The two daughters of the Lin family—one is the one who stands at the pinnacle of the deer chase, the other is the lifesaver of the Cold family—what great fortune!

Leng Feng's gaze fell upon Lin Xuewei: "You are the maiden who saved my wife, aren't you?"

Lin Xuewei met Leng Feng's eagle-like gaze, and suddenly felt a bit guilty.

However, she still steeled herself to admit, "It was merely a trifling effort, not worth mentioning."
