The fifth princess, dressed in red, stood on the tower and looked down. Among the more than two hundred noble gentlemen, Xiao Changqin was the only one who was so majestic.
Moreover, he is still in the late stage of Jindan at a young age, and he is undoubtedly a handsome young man.
"Which family is that from?" The fifth princess held a small bow and asked her confidants through a message.
The confidant replied respectfully: "The direct descendant that the Xiao family likes, but he already has someone he likes. He may not be a good match. I hope the princess will think twice."
"I don't want his love, I just want his protection." The fifth princess muttered in her heart, her eyes no longer hesitated, she drew her bow and arrow, and aimed it at Xiao Changqin, who was not thinking about it.
There were other people around Xiao Changqin. When the others saw the fifth princess's arrow aimed at choosing a son-in-law, they couldn't help but become excited and happy.
A nun in the Nascent Soul stage suddenly came to the fifth princess and said to the fifth princess: "Your Majesty and the Queen, the alchemist Chen Meng is a good match. The fifth princess must be considerate of your Majesty and the Queen's feelings."
"Why... why?"
The face of the fifth princess suddenly turned pale. She glanced at Chen Meng, who was hunched over, and then at the majestic Xiao Changqin. How could a sparrow compare to a swan?
This has always been a ceremony for the princess to choose her son-in-law on her own, so why do her father, the queen, and her mother have to interfere, just because she is not the queen's biological child, but the result of an affair between her father and a shaman untouchable?
Her biological mother was of relatively pure Wu Clan bloodline, and was raised to the late Nascent Soul stage and dedicated to her father to help him break through and advance. However, her biological mother's bloodline was deprived of her magical powers, her cultivation level declined, and she died of depression.
Nasty Yuan Yingqi said with a cold face: "No reason, just because this is the order of Your Majesty and the Queen."
"But Chen Meng is just a pariah!" The fifth princess's hand holding the bow trembled. She has royal blood, how can she be matched with a former domestic slave.
The Yuan Yingqi mother saw the fifth princess dilly-dallying, and felt dissatisfied, so she revealed the mystery and said: "Because your majesty and the queen likes that Chen Meng, and wants to use your half of the witch bloodline, princess, to help him continue to advance."
, live a long life and continue to serve the royal family."
"Really..." The fifth princess smiled more than she cried, because she inherited the witch blood from her mother, so she had to marry a pariah?
It's clear that Mingming City still supports a large number of witch bloodline, why should she, a princess, be condescended to?
Also, there are fewer and fewer pure Wu Clan bloodlines. Otherwise, why would they go to other places to kidnap people during this grand ceremony?
She, the majestic fifth princess of the Wancheng Kingdom, was married to a domestic slave. How different was she from those raised by the blood of the witch clan!
They are just objects to help others.
The fifth princess held the bow and was shaking violently, but she still refused to move the arrow aimed at Xiao Changqin elsewhere.
After all, Grandma Nascent Soul Qi was so old that she took another look at the ignorant fifth princess. She patiently continued to talk to the fifth princess: "Princess, there is another reason for you to condescend to that Chen Meng. Now Destiny
There are fewer and fewer ninth-grade alchemists in the city. Your Majesty and Queen intend to use this to improve the status of alchemists and encourage more talented people to devote themselves to alchemy. If you know something, Fifth Princess, you should understand that Your Majesty and Queen serve the country and the people.
Heart."
"I understand all the truth..." There were tears in the eyes of the fifth princess, but she said to herself silently, "I am alone anyway, so I will choose a good supporter this time. What punishment will I get afterwards?
Just come..."
After the words in her heart fell, the fifth princess closed her eyes, shed tears, and loosened her hands. The arrow tied with a red string went straight towards Xiao Changqin.
"Damn it!"
The Nascent Soul Mother cursed angrily.
However, according to the traditional rules for selecting a son-in-law, once the arrow is shot, no one is allowed to change its trajectory. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful to the royal family and will be tortured. What's more, it will harm the family behind it.
And the selected noble sons below are not allowed to move and dodge before and after the arrow is shot, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the royal family.
In the blink of an eye, the arrow tied with a red rope had already approached Xiao Changqin.
"Why!"
Everyone who is bound by the rules and cannot move is either regretful or happy.
It's a pity that most of the Xiao family are happy.
After all, despite being a royal family, the fifth princess is still a relatively pure bloodline of the witch clan, which will be even more powerful for Xiao Changqin's future practice.
But Xiao Changqin had a calm expression on his face, even with a hint of a chic smile. He put one hand behind his back, and put the thumb of the other hand on his index finger, trying to quietly change the trajectory of the arrow with a slight flick and a barely audible whistling sound.
However, a pressure from the Tribulation Realm fell from the sky, imprisoning Xiao Changqin.
It turned out that the Xiao family was in the tribulation realm and had long been on guard against Xiao Changqin's move, so they deliberately stayed a little further away to pay attention to the movement here.
It was such a crucial breath or two that Xiao Changqin could not move at all, but the arrow without an arrow was already close at hand.
The fifth princess looked nervous, but her eyes showed joy.
But at this moment, a blast of ice-cold sword energy suddenly shot out from in front of Xiao Changqin, splitting the arrow into two and hitting the two people around Xiao Changqin respectively.
"ah!"
There was another exclamation.
"Be bold!"
Some people reacted quickly and immediately opened their mouths to scold.
"The eldest son of the Xiao family, you broke the royal rules and refused the princess's kindness. You are so bold!"
A senior official of the Zhu family scolded angrily.
The Xiao family also reacted, and the noble young master of the Xiao family immediately knelt down in fear.
"Arrest him and hand him over to the Law Enforcement Department!"
Several officials present also glared angrily. Where did this young mountain boy come from? He really didn't understand the rules.
Many people in the Xiao family also hate Xiao Changqin's self-righteous and independent behavior.
"Bastard thing!"
The high-ranking ancestor of the Xiao family was furious, not only because Xiao Changqin broke the rules, but also because he took the ice spirit root girl with him and never left her, never giving up.
The fifth princess's face turned even pale. Her arrow failed to hit Xiao Changqin, but was split in two and hit two people at the same time. The selection of a son-in-law turned into a farce, and she had to become the leader of the entire royal family and Destiny City.
The butt of jokes.
"Master Xiao, please come with us."
Two officials from the Law Enforcement Department came forward, one restrained Xiao Changqin, sealed his spiritual power, and kicked him to the ground, while the other went to search for the things in his arms.
"Don't touch what's in my arms!" Xiao Changqin said displeasedly, but his storage bag and a small space magic weapon had been confiscated without mercy by the other party.
There are people inside the space magic weapon.
"That's not up to you."
Xiao Shi, who was half-inserted with an arrow, held the arrow tightly in his hand, smiled brightly at the fifth princess, and gloated at the misfortune and sent a message to Xiao Changqin.
"Who do you think you are? This is Destiny City, under the emperor's feet, not the corner of the land where you used to be. Who would listen to the orders of a shameless stranger like you? Without the protection of my Xiao family, you are nobody.
