Xue Lingxue too was somewhat surprised.
The marriage proposal between the Second Prince and Shen Qingyan, it's rumored, began when the Prime Minister mentioned it. Then the royal family and Nanyin Square had some communication, and both parties seemed to be in agreement. But as Nanyin Square didn't have a tradition of arranged marriages, they allowed Shen Qingyan to meet the Second Prince at the Immortal Sect Conference in Yu Capital City. If both parties agreed, they could further the relationship.
This meeting was thus more akin to matchmaking.
To avoid discomfort, the Second Prince invited some of his friends from the Immortal Cultivation World in the capital under the pretext of hosting a banquet for prodigies, planning to cordially meet with Miss Shen in this setting.
The arrangement was generally fine.
