<h4>Chapter 1075: The Very Beginning</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As StudiosRong Xiu, you let me uin again!” Her frustrated voice sounded in her mind.


    “One day, I can also beat you without you letting me!”


    The young man in front leaned against the chair, picked up the ginger tea at


    the side with one hand, and squinted his deep, phoenix like eyes slightly. He


    waszy andfortable as he slowly said, “Great.”


    His voice was deep and melodious as if it were the wind that gently stroked the


    violin’s strings. Then, the tea was already sent to his lips.


    His thin lips gently touched the side of the white porcin cup.


    From the corner of her eyes, she saw that he had taken the vvrong cup and


    hurriedly said, “Hey?_ Rong Xiu! ‘Ihat’s my tea!


    Rong Xiu stopped his actions and raised his eyelids slightly. His originally cold


    eyes were instantly much warmer.


    Like the sun setting by the river in the evening, the brilliant light shone on the


    water and formed the color of the sky and water.


    Oh__ Is it. ?” A few slurred sybles came out from his teeth with some faint


    smiling intent.


    Just as she thought that he was going to put the teacup down, she suddenly


    saw the man bring the cup to his lips as they moved slightly and gently


    ovepped with the extremely faint lipstick stain on it.


    Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she was instantly dazed on the spot.


    Even if she was very cunning normally, she didn’t expect he would do that.


    He sipped on the tea before slowly cing the teacup down.


    As his lips were stained with tea, they looked especially supple.


    Chu Liuyue’s face suddenly turned red—it was like a fire had burned across it!


    The warm heat hurled over and instantly swallowed her whole!


    He didn’t seem to notice it as he raised his brows slightly. “So you drink ginger


    tea every day.”


    As if she finally found her voice, Chu Liuyue gently grunted. “Ginger tea is


    bitter. You wanted to drink other people’s tea, and now you’ve tasted the


    bitterness, right?”


    “Oh?” Rong Xiu held himself up with one hand and nced at her in a


    seemingly smiling manner. “l feel that this tea is sweet and refreshing. Other


    teas can’t even bepared to it at all.”


    Chu Liuyue could no longer sit around as she suddenly stood up. “I suddenly


    remembered that I haven’t cultivated some sword technique. I’ll go back first.”


    Then, she hurriedly left.


    Rong Xiu looked over.


    She walked down the path on the cliff with light footsteps, and her light dress


    flew like a butterfly. Her hair flew up, and she looked very’ lively.


    After walking a distance, she suddenly stood still and looked toward the cliff


    again.


    Rong Xiu had long expected it as he raised his teacup and bowed to her from


    afar. “If you want some guidance, I’ll help you anytime.”


    That woman instantly disappeared even quicker.


    Rong Xiu’s lips curled up, and he smiled with even deeper meaning.


    It was a bright and clear day as the wind blew lightly.


    A man in white sat in the pavilion on the cliff, and he leaned against his chair


    slightly. The mountain wind hurled up his sleeves, and they floated up.


    A teacup was ced beside his hand.


    Sweet yet bitter.


    Those scenes gradually disappeared.


    Chu Liuyue’s gaze slowly became more focused, and everything in front of her


    entered her vision again.


    She opened her mouth.


    Rong Xiu’s brows moved slightly, and there seemed to be a slight ripple in his


    eyes. “Ms. Dugu, what’s wrong?”


    His tone became extremely light with some sort of mysterious strength that


    could calm one down.


    Chu Liuyuepletely woke up. She closed her eyes before gazing at Rong Xiu


    not far away. At that time, no matter if it were Rong Mu or me, we didn’t seem


    very old. Our eyes had the youthful energy of a youngster. At that time, we


    shouldve already known each other for a while. Although I can’t recall how


    long it had been, I can clearly remember that my heart was beating intensely.


    That was the first time her heart beat like thunder—her face turned red, and


    she was helpless. Yet, she had an indescribable liking. Perhaps it was that time


    or even earlier, but she had already liked that person then.


    She didn’t even know how many days it had been since then, but they finally


    still got together.


    Chu Liuyue’s gaze flickered, and she shook her head. “Nothing. I just thought of


    some things.”


    She raised her chin slightly, and she smiled slightly. “l should be first for this


    stage, right?”


    It waspletely silent.


    The crowd looked at the woman in the middle of the pce and was still quite


    in a daze. She’s?_ first just like that?! Previously, many people tried to get His


    Highness to make a move but couldn’t. Not only did she do it, but she has


    evem__ beat His Highness!


    Rong Xiu’s lips curled up slightly with slight smiling intent. “You’re


    first—well -deserved. ”


    Jiang Zhiyuan broke her perfectly manicured nail, and the strong, intense pain


    from her fingertips caused her face to turn pale. However, these feelings


    couldn’t bepared to the indignance and grievances she felt in her heart.


    How did this happen? I was clearly in first ce! From the start to now, 1 never


    doubted that 1 was the most outstandingperson and also the most suitable and


    most rightful person to be the princess consort


    She took it for granted all the time, so she didn’t feel much stress. It was only


    at this moment, when Dugu Yue stole first ce from her, that she finally


    realized that there were other people better than her!


    The she thought she could get so easily wasn’t something she could


    obtain so stably!


    Actually, if the women in the other divisions beat her, she wouldn’t feel so


    terrible. She would rather Pei Pei and the rest win instead of seeing Dugu Yue


    bing the limelight in the center. This was because Rong Xiu clearly


    treated her differently!


    An unknown sense of danger surged up Jiang Zhiyuan’s heart!


    Jiang Hetian turned around and saw his daughter’s upset and aggrieved


    He frowned—even he didn’t expect that Dugu Yue would suddenly intercept out


    of nowhere and steal first ce from her!


    Zhiyuan definitely feels upset. She is used to being arrogant, so how could she


    be willing to ept such a result?


    “Zhiyuan, don’t worry. This is still the first stage. Just work hard in the future


    and showcase all your abilities. You’ll definitely be able to get it back!”


    forted Jiang Hetian patiently.


    “But she won first...” muttered Jiang Zhiyuan.


    ‘So what if she’s first? Can the Sky-Cloud Empire really allow such a woman


    with an unknown background to be the princess consort?” Jiang Hetian


    was very confident. As long as Rong Mu weighs the situation, he’ll definitely


    leave the position ofprincess consort to Fairy Water Mound. As for the others?


    He can randomly choose other people to get the lowly mistress status. All of


    these things arent important.


    But as he spoke, he saw blood dripping down from Jiang Zhiyuan’s palm from


    the corner of his eyes. He was instantly taken aback “Zhiyuan, your hand—”


    Jiang Zhiyuan slowly recovered her senses and instinctively hid her hand


    behind her. She clenched her teeth and said, “I’m fine. Father, you’re right. I’ll


    get first ce backter!”


    I definitely wont let that Dugu Yue steal the limelight again!Thinking of this,


    she looked at Rong Xiu. “Your Highness, the first stage has already ended. Let’s


    directly start the second stage then!”


    I definitely have to win the second stage!
