CHAPTER 626: CHAPTER 319 BEAUTY TRAP_2

After the song, Li Yunjing’s face showed a look of lingering appreciation.

Music cultivates the soul and elevates the mood. The woman’s voice, technique, and emotion truly made the song catch Li Yunjing’s discerning eye.

"What a song! What a voice! Your Majesty, this woman should be greatly rewarded!"

Li Yunjing slowly opened his eyes, let out a light chuckle, turned to the Emperor, and said softly.

He spoke casually, but the Emperor could not take it lightly. The Emperor understood and immediately instructed the eunuch beside him to prepare the rewards.

"Unfortunately, this woman has no Spirit Root, and cannot enter the Immortal Dao."

At the side, Zhu Wanyun saw that Li Yunjing seemed to greatly appreciate the palace songstress, and couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.

Zhu Wanyun didn’t have any animosity towards the songstress, it’s just that when talented women meet, there’s always a sense of comparison.

Zhu Wanyun prided herself on being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. How could she be outdone by a mere songstress?

Hence, she naturally showed such an expression.

"Hehe! So, Princess Wanyun also has talents she wants to showcase?"

Turning to Zhu Wanyun, Li Yunjing smiled meaningfully.

You’ve already used your beauty tactics. Why not show some skills and let me see how your talents fare?

"Alright then! Since that’s the case, why don’t I perform a piece on the piano for the National Preceptor?"

Seeing that Li Yunjing seemed quite interested, Zhu Wanyun’s eyes flashed slightly, and she said softly.

One must know, Li Yunjing, such a figure, has already become one of the top individuals in the Great Ming Cultivation Realm.

Besides those Golden Core Realm ancestors, Li Yunjing’s identity as a True Disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect would make him a distinguished guest in any Sect or Clan he visited.

Zhu Wanyun was treated as a pawn by the royal family, to get close to Li Yunjing, which made her quite resentful and feel greatly humiliated.

But after interacting with Li Yunjing, Zhu Wanyun couldn’t help but be attracted by Li Yunjing’s charisma and his supreme status. Even her father had to carefully curry favor with him, which changed Zhu Wanyun’s mindset!

Since she was destined to be a pawn anyway, she might as well directly rely on Li Yunjing. It would be best if she could gain some recognition from Li Yunjing. With a True Disciple of Shenxiao Dao Sect protecting her, not to mention within the royal family, no one would dare bullying her, even in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, her identity would grant her significant respect!

With such benefits, Zhu Wanyun wanted to showcase her skills in front of Li Yunjing to earn his favor and elevate her status.

"Alright! I look forward to Princess Wanyun’s performance!"

Li Yunjing smiled lightly and then turned to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any objections?"

"Hahaha! Of course, I have no objections! For my daughter to perform a song for the National Preceptor, it is her honor!"

The Emperor had been secretly observing Li Yunjing and his daughter from the start. If he could indeed bring the two together, he would have nothing to worry about as Emperor.

As for sacrificing a daughter?

How could this be considered a sacrifice?

This is clearly him, as a loving father, carefully selecting the best husband for his daughter!

Zhu Wanyun cast a captivating glance at Li Yunjing and smiled flirtatiously, "Since that’s the case, I will go and prepare!"

"Good! I look forward to your perfect performance."

Li Yunjing also smiled. This Great Ming royal family is quite interesting, they really seem bent on using beauty schemes?

"Wanyun, go and get ready! Perform well!"

The Emperor gazed at his daughter with concern and reminded her. His eyes were filled with paternal love and care as he looked at Zhu Wanyun.

Seeing this scene, Li Yunjing secretly sneered; truly, life is all about acting skills!

In the royal family, how could there be any genuine affection?

"Yes!"

Zhu Wanyun responded and slowly stood up. Her slim figure swayed gracefully as she moved towards the rear hall, like a delicate willow branch.

Though Zhu Wanyun appeared to be a frail and delicate woman, in reality, she possessed considerable skill. In Li Yunjing’s eyes, her foundations were solid, and she wouldn’t be inferior to an Outer Sect disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

With such prowess, she would be able to establish herself even among loose cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

"National Preceptor, do you think anyone in our royal family has the potential to be admitted into an Immortal Sect and have a regular path of advancement?"

As Zhu Wanyun went to the rear hall to prepare, the Emperor suddenly brought up this topic.

"Oh? As far as I know, members of the royal family have also joined Shenxiao Dao Sect and cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It seems the Sect doesn’t treat the royal family any differently."

Hearing the Emperor’s probing, Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, looking at the old fox with a half-smile.

"Hehe! That was a slip of the tongue!"

The Emperor secretly cursed, "Li Yunjing is a sly fox too!"

The Emperor also found it strange. Although he hadn’t investigated Li Yunjing’s background thoroughly, this National Preceptor appeared very young, with a sharpness in his aura typical of youth.

How could someone so young have cultivated to such a level in such a short time?

Having high cultivation is one thing, as the Shenxiao Dao Sect gathers talents from all over the world, there are bound to be extraordinary individuals. But such a precocious nature is truly rare!

The Emperor deliberately tested with a question, and Li Yunjing immediately blocked it with words, making the Emperor even more cautious of Li Yunjing.

"I am just saddened that our royal family has never produced outstanding disciples to serve the Immortal Sect, it is truly regrettable!"
