Xiao Gongzhu paled at the pressure which Luo Binghe gave off and collapsed kneeling on the floor as Shen Jiumei looked at her with an expression which suggested he might tear off her head any second ,realizing the situation was getting worse , the Old Palace Master immediately stepped in to mediate and said " Junshang , please do not be alarmed as my daughter was only expressing interest for you and wanted to express her willingness to serve you and did not know that the Empress was a jealous person "
Shen Jiumei got more angry upon hearing those words and said " i did not know the Huan Hua Palace were quite shameless eyeing another person's husband right in front of them the audacity , if we were in the demon realm , your precious daughter's head will be rolling the floor " , shocking the cultivators as they turned to Luo Binghe expecting him to shut down this show as , even though Xiao Gongzhu was a spoiled and arrogant lady , she was still quite a beauty that many would like to have but Luo Binghe simply smiled and gently coaxed his empress " Jiu er don't be angry it will ruin your health , after all i am sure the little Palace Mistress as gotten the memo and would not dare request such an absurd thing right " said Luo Binghe as he flashed a menacing gaze which promised death if a single wrong word is uttered .
Realizing that Luo Binghe supported Shen Jiumei , and the fact that his daughter had already offended Shen Jiumei ,the Old Palace Master knew that there was no way he would be able to keep Su Xiyan ." of course not ,we apologize for the disrespect your highness we hope you don't take it to heart and we will accept the proposal" said Old Palace Master with a gritted teeth.
Luo Binghe looked at Shen Jiumei for confirmation if he accepted the apology to which Shen Jiumei nodded at him not making things to hard for the sake of Luo Binghe.
" all right then it's settled , my father and Miss Su will wed on the first of next month , we shall celebrate tonight " said Luo Binghe.
After the negotiation process was over , several servants came into the hall with food and wine and a banquet began . During the banquet the peak lords tried to approach Shen Jiumei countless times but failed due to the fact that Luo Binghe was always near Shen Jiumei making it impossible to talk to him , just when the peak lords were about to give up on the idea of talking to Shen Jiumei , Luo Binghe had been called away from Shen Jiumei , leaving Shen Jiumei all alone, seeing the opportunity, Yue Qingyuan approached Shen Jiumei trying to make small talk with him.
" i did not expect to meet you again your highness" said Yue Qingyuan with a fawning smile.
" neither did i , but heavens are quite ruthless aren't they " said Shen Jiumei , the statement made Yue Qingyuan smile falter as he immediately composed himself.
" i truly apologized for the mishap that happened during our last meeting " said Yue Qingyuan
" like i said , i have forgiven you and do not wish to hear such things again " said Shen Jiumei
" oh alright then , i would like to be friends with your highness " said Yue Qingyuan.
" no thank you i rather not , you see my husband is quite the jealous type " said Shen Jiumei
" oh i see but if i convince your husband , i am sure he'd let us be friends " said Yue Qingyuan.
" alright then you can try to convince , if you fail you must leave me alone " said Shen Jiumei.
" okay then " said Yue Qingyuan , suddenly a voice was heard " my my what is this Sect Master Yue pestering a married man " , it was Luo Binghe who wore a sly smirk on his face that screamed trouble .
After rejecting the offers of the sect masters trying to offer him a concubine after seeing how nicely Luo Binghe treated Shen Jiumei thinking if their disciples or daughters won his love they'd gain more power , Luo Binghe went back to find Shen Jiumei , only to see Yue Qingyuan talking to him , he heard Shen Jiumei mentioning to be friends with Yue Qingyuan if he manages to get Luo Binghe's approval , which made Luo Binghe smirk as he approached the conversing figures.
