On the crystal dining table closest to Xu Zihuang in the hall, a blond girl who looked sixteen or seventeen years old elegantly held the glass cup in her hand. The girl's face was extremely beautiful, and her blond hair was hanging down in the slightly dim atmosphere.
The dark gold color floated under the soul guidance light, as if covered with a layer of tassels, adding a bit of psychedelic color to her. She was wearing a pure white pleated long skirt, revealing her white shoulders and collarbones.
The precious ice silk gloves on both hands wrap the delicate jade fingers.
A sapphire necklace the size of a dove egg is dotted on the chest, complementing the girl's fair skin.
The light of wisdom shone in her blue eyes, and around her, there were a number of other noble ladies vying to surround her.
When his eyes moved to the girl's side, Xu Zihuang narrowed his eyes slightly.
His memory has always been very good, and he can almost never forget anything. Perhaps this is also a precursor to his ability to awaken the golden boy, the spirit of his spiritual body.
From his memory, he remembered that this girl seemed to be the daughter of a powerful marquis in the Sun and Moon Empire. He had had contact with her when he was young.
As for the name, Xu Zihuang didn't care about it at first, so he naturally had no impression of it in his mind.
The girl who seemed to be having a conversation, but in fact had been focusing on Xu Zihuang, deliberately pretended to be surprised, raised her red lips slightly, raised the glass cup in her hand, and made a gesture to Xu Zihuang like a noble of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Elegance and etiquette in the room.
Xu Zihuang also nodded slightly and then withdrew his gaze.
A very scheming woman.
This is Xu Zihuang’s evaluation of girls.
No matter how naturally the girl handles it, there is no flaw in the expression on her face, but the emotions deep in her eyes are difficult to conceal.
The eyes are the windows directly into the soul, and they are also the area in the human body that is most likely to reveal a person's true emotions. Only extremely powerful soul masters can hide them perfectly.
As the son of a very powerful prince, Xu Zihuang has received the education to become a superior in the royal family since he was a child. Understanding people's hearts is the most critical one.
Coupled with the awakened spiritual attribute of the martial soul Golden Boy, he can observe the changes deep in people's eyes in more detail.
"Your Highness, that is Yin Ziyue, the second daughter of the Marquis of Yincheng in Mingdu." Yu Yun, the leader of the Lanhai Soul Mentor Group on the side, reminded him respectfully.
Yu Yun is an old man who looks to be less than 1.65 meters tall. He is thin and has dark skin. He is a typical person from the coastal areas of the Sun and Moon Empire.
He originally didn't have much respect for the exiled Prince. After all, given the current situation, no one dared to have anything to do with Xu Zihuang, who was almost impossible to turn over.
But seeing the respectful attitude of Hai Xiao, who was the confidant of the eldest prince Xu Tianran, towards Xu Zihuang, he naturally did not dare to behave in an independent way because of his quick thinking.
Xu Zihuang indifferently put down the gold vessel engraved with magnificent patterns in his hand, and raised his head again to look in the direction of Yin Ziyue.
"Just ten of them. Commander Yu Yun, please go back and thank the emperor for my kindness."
The imperial brother he was referring to was, of course, the eldest prince Xu Tianran who was the most promising to inherit the throne of the Sun and Moon Empire.
"Your Highness, I will convey this message to His Highness the First Prince." Yu Yun quickly stood up and saluted.
Xu Zihuang didn't say anything more, stood up and left the hall directly under the escort of several soldiers.
The moment Xu Zihuang stood up and left, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. Because those noble ladies understood that Xu Zihuang had made a choice.
Many hopeful eyes moved to Xu Zihuang, but no one said a word.
It was not until Xu Zihuang left that the whispers of conversation in the hall came to mind.
"Ziyue, I just noticed that His Highness the Prince has been looking at us. Do you think we are very likely to be selected?!" A blue-haired girl with an extremely proud figure next to Yin Ziyue looked happy.
He clenched his pink fists, and his chest felt turbulent.
"If we can really give birth to an heir with the royal purple dragon-slaying martial spirit, the family will be able to change its decline."
Most of the hundred noble ladies who came here were in a similar situation to her. Because of various difficulties.
Otherwise, if you were a top noble with a powerful family background, you would not let your family's legitimate daughter do such a thing.
Not to mention being gossiped behind the back by other nobles, what's more important is that this kind of matter involving the inheritance of the Sun and Moon Empire's royal family is too sensitive. It may bring disaster to the family.
However, Yin Ziyue was an exception. She asked to come over on her own initiative, even at the risk of stalemate her relationship with her family.
She is only the second daughter in the family. Although in the Sun Moon Empire and the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, women can also inherit the family title, but she is not a direct descendant.
He will never be associated with his family's title throughout his life, and may even be used as a marriage tool to consolidate his family's power.
She is not willing to do this. Instead of being manipulated by her family and living her life like a puppet, she might as well try to create a turn for the better on her own.
Relying on her family's power, she had obtained some inside information about Xu Zihuang.
Innate soul power and pure blood have been extremely rare in the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire for thousands of years.
If it works properly, the possibilities are endless.
Because of the surging emotions in her heart, Yin Ziyue's jade hands holding the glass cup trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved in a charming and confident arc.
All the aristocratic ladies who gathered around Yin Ziyue were very proud of themselves, while Yu Yun, who was sitting in the main seat in the hall, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Commander of the Haixiao Division, since His Highness the Prince has made his choice, I will go and prepare for the return journey tomorrow morning. I won't bother you tonight."
The ten noble ladies headed by Yin Ziyue selected by Xu Zihuang are basically the most powerful nobles. Since they stay on the island, the return journey will not be as stressful as when he came.
"Commander Yu Yun, please excuse me." Hai Xiao did not get up, but just watched Yu Yun leave the castle. Then he ordered his men to take the ten selected noble ladies and move into the castle.
As for those who are not selected, they will be sent back to the giant ship. The castle cannot accommodate so many people, and with too many people, problems are more likely to arise.
Hai Xiao led his burly body to the flower garden in front of the castle, looked at the silver crescent moon hanging high in the night sky, and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Here comes someone."
A soldier, his whole body covered in a blue armored stomach, knelt on one knee behind Hai Xiao. This blue armored stomach is the standard equipment of the Xihai Soul Instructor Group.
From this, we can see that it is completely different from Yu Yun's miscellaneous group of soul mentors.
"I'm going to inform you that everyone should not rest tonight and strengthen the security on the city wall, especially near the port in the east."
