Chapter 1593: Little Princess's Happiness (Part 1)

The Luo Clan was festooned with lanterns and colorful streamers, every building draped in red fabric, creating a celebratory atmosphere.

Grand Elder Luo Qingchen stood at the entrance of the main hall, dressed in a golden silk robe, a smile gracing his face.

"Jiang Fangyou, Head of the Jiang Clan, congratulates the Zhang Clan on their marriage to the Young Princess, presenting thirty eighth-realm Saint Beasts!""Mu Tingzhen, Head of the Mu Clan, congratulates the union of the Zhang and Luo clans, presenting three chests of thousand-year-old medicinal herbs and ten True Spirit Pipa Trees!""Shui Wantian, Head of the Shui Clan, offers early congratulations on Zhang Xuan's wedding, presenting three thousand Water Spirit Crystals, five thousand Northern Sea Silver Diamonds, and two hundred Seven-Star Dragon Eyes…"

Grand pronouncements echoed from outside as one powerful and distinguished figure after another from across the continent entered, their faces beaming with smiles.

These were individuals whose mere presence usually sent ripples across the nine provinces, yet now they arrived here with lavish gifts, showing not the slightest hint of disrespect.

"It seems the entire continent is aware of what Master Zhang did at the Empire Alliance a few days ago," an elder responsible for welcoming guests outside the main hall couldn't help but exclaim, observing the lively scene inside. "This is just for the welcoming ceremony, and so many gifts have already arrived. If it were the actual wedding, I'm afraid the line would stretch endlessly…"

Although the Luo Clan held a respectable position on the continent, they couldn't have gathered so many people or persuaded so many prominent figures to personally offer congratulations in such a short time. Even the Zhang Clan would have found it impossible. However, Zhang Xuan accomplished this immediately upon becoming clan head, and it was merely the welcoming ceremony. Once the main wedding takes place, it will undoubtedly be even grander, with even the Master Teacher Pavilion coming to offer congratulations.

The only explanation for this phenomenon was the news that had spread across the entire continent a few days prior: the Master Teacher Pavilion's failed attempt to apprehend someone.

For tens of thousands of years, the Master Teacher Pavilion had stood on the continent, and a single command from them to apprehend someone meant no one, no matter how powerful, could escape. Yet Zhang Xuan changed history, not only making the future Hall Master of the Combat Master Hall, the Head of the Poison Hall, the Palace Mistress of the Glacial Palace, and others his students, but also becoming the Head of the Saint Son Hall and Senior Brother to Master Yang Xuan… This defied everyone's imagination.

With so many identities converging in one person, any major power that still didn't know how to react would truly be foolish!

The Zhang Clan understood this perfectly, which is why they didn't hesitate, quickly arranging for him to inherit the position of clan head and announcing it to the world. In this way, everyone knew it was only a matter of time before the Zhang Clan grew even stronger, so who would dare not come to offer congratulations?

Forget a grand event like a welcoming ceremony; even if the Zhang Clan's head simply had a headache or a cold, it's likely that a roomful of clan heads and sect masters would come to deliver medicine and treasures.

"Indeed, the Luo Clan hasn't been this glorious in many years!" another elder beside him nodded, sighing with emotion.

When the Luo Clan's Young Princess refined the Spatial Stillness Pearl, her mysterious power shook the world, yet at that time, only a few clans had come. Now, almost all the top figures on the entire continent had arrived, making the elders' sentiment understandable.

"Before, there was no news of the young genius, and I felt it was unfair to the Young Princess. I never expected that once he appeared, he would cause such a sensation, as astonishing as when he was first born!"

"Indeed, when he was born, he was a congenital Saint, and even Master Kong's statue soared into the sky. The Master Teacher Pavilion sent people to investigate, already knowing he was extraordinary. Now, it's truly amazing!"

"A genius is a genius, no matter what. The crucial thing is that he's also the one the Young Princess loves, making this a perfect ending…" Joy filled the faces of many elders.

Regardless of how much glory it could bring the Luo Clan, if the Young Princess didn't like him, it would be a disaster for them. Now, with everyone happy, it was naturally what everyone hoped to see.

While it was bustling outside, deep within the compound, in a courtyard overflowing with flowers, a girl sat quietly before a mirror, meticulously adorning herself.

"Miss, it's incredibly lively outside! I hear many important figures have arrived!" a maid said, smiling, as she stood behind her, helping to comb her hair.

"You've already said that three times; I know," the girl said, shaking her head with a smile.

"Before, I never understood how someone as amazing as you, Miss, could fall for the head of a first-tier Empire Master Teacher Academy. But now I know, our future son-in-law is truly incredible! Without saying a word, he's brought so many people to offer congratulations… Apart from the Master Teacher Pavilion, I can't imagine anyone else having such power!" The maid stood rooted to the spot, her eyes shining with admiration.

"The Master Teacher Pavilion doesn't have a true Hall Master right now, so they couldn't gather so many people to congratulate either, not in such a short time!" another maid nearby chuckled.

"Indeed, Miss, you are truly blessed…" The two maids chirped their congratulations.

The Young Princess, sitting before the mirror, looked at her flawless reflection and smiled softly, her face filled with happiness.

"Oh, right… Did you find out what I asked you to? Master Zhang, did he… say anything when he arrived yesterday?" The Young Princess suddenly remembered something and looked over, a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

"Well…" The maid paused, about to speak, when footsteps sounded outside, followed by a hearty laugh: "No need to ask them; I've already found out for you!"

"Young Master!" The maids quickly bowed upon seeing him.

"Hmm!" Luo Xuanqing waved his hand, then looked at his sister before him and laughed heartily, "I saw that fellow yesterday. When he heard about you, he got incredibly excited and insisted on coming over. If I hadn't held him back, he definitely would have rushed straight here!"

"He… got incredibly excited?" The Young Princess's face flushed. "Brother, don't tease your sister! Are you sure you made it clear to him it was me?"

"Isn't that obvious? He's here for the welcoming ceremony; of course, he knows who you are. You don't need to worry…" Luo Xuanqing shook his head, looking speechless.

"That's good… I was just thinking that when I first met him, I was disguised…" The Young Princess offered an awkward smile. "I was afraid he wouldn't recognize me after seeing my real appearance…"

"Don't worry, Miss," one maid said, chuckling, "I've seen your disguised appearance too, and you're ten times more beautiful now than you were then. The young master will definitely be captivated and completely charmed when he sees you…"

"That's right, Miss," another maid added, covering her mouth, "If you meet him with this appearance, he'll probably fall in love without you even saying a word…"

"You two are just cheeky," the Young Princess chuckled softly at their words, then looked up at Luo Xuanqing. "Brother, where is he now…?"

"He has some matters to attend to. Don't worry, he'll be back soon. You should also get ready. You wouldn't want him to see you looking so worried, would you?" Luo Xuanqing smiled.

"Mhm!" The Young Princess nodded, a feeling of happiness welling up in her heart.

Having carried a marriage contract since childhood, she had thought she would simply have to live a resigned life. She never dreamed she would find someone she loved and eventually be with him. It seemed fate had been truly kind to her.
