The young martial kings left the warm spring-like Purple Flame Plum Garden, passed through a long stone corridor, and gradually arrived at a snowy plum garden.
Entering this snowy plum garden, I immediately felt waves of strange cold coming down to my bones. On the plum branches all over the mountains and plains, there are all kinds of ice and snow plum blossoms, just like a world of ice flowers.
The martial kings were frozen by the cold air and suddenly became much more awake.
The ice energy in this plum garden is very strong. If the martial kings hadn't been extremely advanced, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand the cold air of the world.
"In the twelfth lunar month, light crystal flowers bloom secretly, and ink branches spit out small ice buds. There are no willows in the spring breeze, just because I am in the imperial palace!"
Looking at this wonderful scenery of ice and snow, You Chujie couldn't help but admire, "Princess's ice plum garden is indeed a first-class place. Every time I come here, I feel refreshing."
The Ice Martial King practices here and absorbs ice energy, which has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
"Brother You is so impressed. The plum blossoms here are all ice-type plum blossoms transplanted from the Ice and Snow Mountains. When in full bloom, the petals are like ice buds, so they are called 'Ice Bud Plum Blossoms'!"
Ji Rouyu led everyone into a pavilion in the center of the Ice and Snow Plum Garden.
There is still a jade box on the stone table in the center of the pavilion.
It's just that the jade box is sealed, and I don't know what kind of magical treasure is inside. I think it's probably no less than the Fire Dragon Life Extension Fruit.
"You all came from all over the city early in the morning and haven't had time to rest yet. Let's take a break at Bingmei Pavilion, eat some fruits, drink some spiritual tea, and have a casual exchange with each other."
"This ice-bud plum blossom is used to make iced tea. It has the most refreshing fragrance. The ice is so refreshing that it makes people forget to leave. If you want to taste it, you might as well pick some."
Ji Rouyu turned to Gu Xinyue and smiled, "Sister Xinyue, how about we go pick some Bingya plum blossoms and make a few cups of Bingya Lingcha?!"
"Okay, I also want to taste this ice bud spirit tea! Princess please!"
Gu Xinyue knew that the princess might have something to talk to her alone, so she smiled happily.
Princess Ji Rouyu, Gu Xinyue, and some tea lovers left the Plum Pavilion and went to the Ice Plum Garden to pick ice-bud plum blossoms.
Many palace maids who had already been waiting near Bingya Plum Pavilion brought various fresh fruits, novel cakes, and royal wines to the young martial kings.
…
The remaining young martial kings all took their seats in the spacious Bingmei Pavilion, gathering together in twos and threes to chat, or compete in combat skills, or exchange training experiences.
The Mei Tai Banquet was a rare gathering that brought together the top elite Martial Kings in the entire Zixuan Imperial City. In almost every aspect, there are the best geniuses.
"Brother Ye Fan, are you free? This is a fourth-level low-grade knife series rune I recently wrote, "Bing Soul Jiuyao Sword Technique". Can you help me taste it and see where there are any flaws? ?!"
Chai Lanyi seized the time, took out a rune book she had recently written, and asked Ye Fan for advice.
She was originally the most outstanding new talented Talisman King in the Imperial City, but after seeing Ye Fan's peerless Talisman, she was deeply shocked, and only then did she know that there was a way out there.
Her admiration and admiration for Ye Fan can be said to be second to none among the young people, even surpassing the three heroes of the Cao Mansion.
"Okay! Let's see how Ms. Lan Yi's recent rune skills are!"
Ye Fan smiled and came to the stone table to look at the roll of runes spread out by Chai Lanyi on the table.
Appreciating runes is a simple matter for him.
After he came to the imperial city, he inadvertently offended too many children of the Wusheng family, and only a few families were willing to make friends with him. This Miss Chai of Chai Mansion was very important for him to improve the relationship with the Wusheng family.
"Miss Lan Yi has produced another fourth-level rune?!"
"It is indeed a good talisman! Miss Lan Yi, can you sell this talisman to me!?"
The three heroes of the Cao Mansion and many civilian Martial Kings, as well as dozens of descendants of the Martial Saint family, gathered around and curiously looked at the runes written by Chai Lanyi.
The runes written by Chai Lanyi are currently considered to be the best in the imperial city. If you can buy them, you will definitely not lose money.
"This fourth-level rune has some minor flaws and is of low quality, so it cannot be sold. I only use it to ask Brother Ye Fan for advice."
Chai Lanyi quickly shook her head.
If an ordinary rune master can write fourth-level runes, no matter what the quality is, he will definitely sell them and exchange them for primeval stones to practice runes.
However, she is not short of Yuan Stone, and she is afraid of ruining her reputation as a talented female charmer, so she is absolutely unwilling to sell low-grade, low-grade runes, and only sells high-grade ones.
Ye Fan watched it carefully, pondered, and asked Chai Lanyi strangely: "Last time at your special rune auction, what you wrote was a top-grade fourth-level rune "Bingso Jiuyao Sword" "Jue". It's the same rune, but why has the level dropped so much this time?"
Chai Lanyi couldn't help but stick out her pink tongue, her face turned red, and she said sheepishly: "Last time, I borrowed a Fuhuang pen set from my uncle. I was very lucky and was able to write the best fourth-level runes. . The work in front of me is my usual practice work, and I have to perform my best to write this low-grade fourth-level rune. But no matter how I improve it, the improvement is limited and I cannot break through to the middle-level realm."
"oh!"
Ye Fan immediately reacted, and without saying anything else, he directly explained the rune: "For this rune, you used a total of twelve rune writing techniques, one of which is called 'Mo Duan Yi Lian'——" Although the rune ink is broken and seems to be isolated, the breath is still coherent and connected. Your practice of this technique is too weak, so the overall level cannot be improved."
"This~...is like this!"
Chai Lanyi couldn't help but widen her eyes, extremely surprised.
It is extremely difficult to tell the technique used from a rune. It is not impossible for the Fu Emperor to do this.
However, Ye Fan just took one look at her and dissected out the rune skills she used, and even analyzed their strengths and weaknesses.
She felt like she was naked and transparent in front of Mark.
…
In another corner of the Bing Ya Mei Pavilion, ten disciples of the Zixuan Guojiao and some other young martial kings were discussing in secret, all of them with heavy faces and heavy hearts.
It was only the first Mei Tai banquet, and Ye Fan crushed them directly, and he did so without any temper.
So many young Martial Kings watched helplessly as Ye Fan picked a flower bone and turned it into a purple flame plum blossom. No one could stop it.
Fortunately, the second plum blossom banquet was about to take place. Princess Ji Rouyu said to pick some ice bud plum blossom tea to make tea, which gave them time to take a breath.
"As a legendary King of Martial Arts, Ye Fan is too powerful in combat and is no match for him in a head-to-head battle. If we limit our strength and compare it with the knowledge of a side sect, he is as knowledgeable as the sea. If we compete with him in knowledge, we will not be able to compete with him at all, and we will be humiliating ourselves. We have to Just think of another solution!"
"What should we do?"
"If we don't come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, this year's Mei Tai Banquet may be booked by him!"
The hearts of all the talented young people were heavy, and they were extremely afraid of Mark.
Some people even looked back to see Ye Fan, Chai Lanyi and the others exchanging rune skills, chatting and laughing, feeling jealous and resentful.
"If that doesn't work, let's just have a drinking contest with him! How can I, a heroic man from the Zixuan Dynasty, not drink? After all, this Mei Tai Banquet is all about small games. Let's take turns and drink him to death!"
A Martial King with rough features and a cunning look in his eyes said fiercely.
"What a great idea! Even if he still wins this round, he must be extremely drunk, and he will definitely be unable to compete in the following matches."
"Whether he wins or loses, he loses!"
The faces of all the young martial kings were happy and they all agreed.
…
In the Plum Garden.
Ji Rouyu and Gu Xinyue each carried a small flower basket for picking plum blossoms, and walked side by side, chatting and laughing, while picking the ice-bud plum blossoms on the branches, while gradually walking into the depths of the plum trees, where no one would disturb them. .
Gu Xinyue knew that Princess Ji Rouyu had something to say to her, and wanted to hear what she had to say.
Ji Rouyu pinched off an ice-bud plum blossom from the branch and asked with a smile: "Sister Xinyue, I want to congratulate you! I once heard that Brother Ye is planning to marry you. I wonder if the wedding date can be set? If it is set, I will definitely do it. You should inform your sister in time so that she can prepare a congratulatory gift for you!"
When Gu Xinyue heard this, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
From Princess Ji Rouyu's tone, it seemed that she was congratulating her and had no intention of competing with her for Mark.
This made her wonder.
Princess Ji Rouyu gives up so easily? Something doesn't seem right!
Gu Xinyue didn't understand Ji Rouyu's intention, so she could only smile and reply: "Ye Fan was busy with the Mammoth Corps some time ago and was delayed. We are preparing for the wedding and have not set a date yet. If we set a wedding date, we will definitely The princess will be invited."
"Oh, the wedding date has not been set yet? Brother Ye has known you for a long time, and we have been together for several years. Why haven't you set the wedding date yet? From my observation of Brother Ye, he is an extremely calm and decisive person. If he wants to Whatever he does, he must do it right away! He definitely won't put it off again and again for so many years without any movement because of many reasons such as "the bride price has not been prepared yet, the wedding is still being prepared, and the army is busy preparing for the formation". Since he has been delayed If you don't do it, there must be a reason. Sister Xinyue is also informal and doesn't care too much about ordinary betrothal gifts. Even a simple wedding is fine. Besides, if you two are in love, you should get married as soon as possible, so as not to It attracts slander from others!"
Ji Rouyuruo probed deeply: "Could it be that there are some special obstacles that prevent brother Ye and sister from holding their wedding?"
Gu Xinyue pursed her red lips and couldn't help but remain silent. She picked an ice-bud plum blossom without answering.
The marriage between Ye Fan and her has been going on for a long time from the ancient land of Ancestral God to Zixuan Imperial City. Ye Fan once said that he was making preparations and would give her a grand wedding, but it is still far away.
She also knew why.
This wedding was not as simple as planning a few betrothal gifts, and he had a fear in his heart.
There is an insurmountable sect mountain among the Shenwu people, which is always silently watching their every move from a distance. It is difficult to predict when this giant mountain will erupt, which makes Ye Fan and her dare not make big moves easily.
