In truth, after Chu Feng and the other two entered, it wasn't just Chu Huanyu who noticed them — everyone present had their eyes on Chu Feng.
That girl Chu Lingxi gave Xia Yun'er and Chu Feng a faint smile before turning her head away, acting as though she didn't know them at all. As always, she was tsundere to the core.
As for the other members of the Chu Heavenly Clan, they did come over to exchange greetings — but only with Xia Yun'er and Elder Xingyi. After the pleasantries, most of them paid no attention to Chu Feng whatsoever, completely ignoring him as if he didn't exist.
It was Chu Ruoshi, the strongest among them, who looked toward Chu Feng and asked, "You must be Young Master Chu Feng?"
Not only did she speak up, but her tone was remarkably gentle. Despite her extraordinary bearing and powerful presence, her smile was warm and amiable, utterly devoid of arrogance. She gave off a very approachable impression.
"I am indeed Chu Feng."
Naturally, Chu Feng returned her courtesy with equal politeness.
"Young Master Chu Feng, I am Chu Ruoshi. It is a pleasure to meet you," Chu Ruoshi said.
"It is my honor to meet Miss Chu here," Chu Feng replied.
But just as the two were exchanging introductions, two more people walked in.
They were familiar faces — Jinshi Bo of the Jinshi Royal Clan, along with that Supreme Elder.
The moment Jinshi Bo entered, his gaze landed on Chu Feng first. He shot Chu Feng a vicious glare, as if to say, "What terrible luck — how is it that I run into you everywhere?"
However, the instant his eyes fell upon Xia Yun'er, Chu Ruoshi, and Chu Lingxi, they lit up with delight, as though he had completely forgotten about losing ten million Immortal Martial Stones moments ago.
"Oh, Miss Xia, you're here too!"
"Wow, this young lady — you are far too beautiful!"
"Heavens, could you be Miss Chu Ruoshi of the Chu Heavenly Clan?"
"And that young lady must be Chu Lingxi!"
"I, Jinshi Bo, am truly fortunate — this is my very first time in the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm, and I've already gotten to see its three most renowned beauties."
"Oh, I nearly forgot to introduce myself."
"Miss Chu Ruoshi, I am Jinshi Bo, the three hundred and seventy-fifth prince of the Jinshi Royal Clan. I came here today specifically to meet you!"
As he spoke, Jinshi Bo's gaze swept over Chu Ruoshi and Chu Lingxi, his face brimming with excitement.
And he wasn't just looking at Chu Ruoshi and Chu Lingxi — he was watching Xia Yun'er as well. His eyes darted between the three, filled with comparison, as if he were sizing up which of the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm's three great beauties was the finest.
Faced with the likes of Jinshi Bo, forget about a tsundere girl like Chu Lingxi — even a gentle soul like Chu Ruoshi merely offered a polite smile without engaging him in any real conversation.
But Jinshi Bo was the type to warm up to anyone instantly. He circled Chu Ruoshi, Xia Yun'er, and Chu Lingxi, chattering away without pause.
Chu Ruoshi and Xia Yun'er were gracious enough to humor him with vague, noncommittal responses out of politeness.
But Chu Lingxi had no such patience. The moment Jinshi Bo drew near her, her delicate brows snapped together and she uttered a single word:
"Scram."
The moment the word left her lips, the entire hall fell silent. Even Jinshi Bo froze on the spot, rooted in disbelief.
The Supreme Elder of the Jinshi Royal Clan also wore a look of displeasure on his face.
But he knew who she was — Chu Lingxi, a young lady of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
So even though he was unhappy, he didn't dare make a move. Forget about doing what he had done to Song Yunfei earlier — releasing his oppressive aura — he wouldn't even let out a peep.
Because he understood all too well that while both clans were overlords of their respective upper realms, when it came to true strength, his Jinshi Royal Clan was far inferior to the Chu Heavenly Clan.
And besides — this was the Chu Heavenly Clan's territory. How could they possibly dare to cause trouble here?
