Nan Yu Zhi was exactly as the rumour said. He was gentle like a jade, had splendid future prospects, and was lively and handsome. It wasn’t a big deal for those words to be used to describe him, but Sima You Yue knew that he was only a wolf disguised as a sheep.

You could tell just by seeing the situation in Happiness City. If he was someone good, the people in the city would not be so miserable.

However, those people had been bewitched by his looks, bewitched by his smile, bewitched by his occasional concern.

Nan Yu Zhi felt someone looking at him, so turned his head and took a look, meeting Sima You Yue’s eyes. Two pairs of eyes looked at one another. There was no expected spark, only their faint smiles.

Nan Yu Zhi turned his head and frowned slightly. Sima You Yue’s smile deepened. Everything was just like she had expected.

Although Nan Yu Zhi was smiling, there were still hints of coldness and viciousness in his eyes. This person was indeed not a good person.

“You Yue, so how was it? You’ve seen him already, so compared to me, who is more handsome?” Luo Yi asked by her side.

“He is not as good as you.” Sima You Yue said.

He was not as good as you, not because he was not as handsome as you, but because his character could not be compared to yours.

Although Luo Yi felt a little like a talkative fool, he gave people a clean vibe. As for this guy, Nan Yu Zhi, although he looked a little better and gave people a softer feel on the surface, she could feel a hidden filthiness. That was why she felt that Luo Yi was better.

Hearing what she said, Luo Yi laughed happily, “Right? Right? I just said that this Nan Yu Zhi couldn’t be compared to me! Still, You Yue, you have keen eyes.”

Sima You Yue laughed. It was just that she did not look at their appearances. If they wanted to talk about who was better looking, both of them were not better looking than Wu Lingyu.

This was a gathering organised by Nan Yu Zhi, and she did not know how Luo Yi had gotten the invitation. Either way, she knew that the way Nan Yu Zhi looked at him seemed to indicate that they were not acquainted.

He came over while holding onto a wine glass. He stood in front of Luo Yi and said, “Although I don’t recall inviting you guys, since you were able to come here, it means that you are my friends.”

Sima You Yue felt ridiculed. Nan Yu Zhi’s words had hints of sarcasm towards Luo Yi. He said that he did not know who Luo Yi was? She’d be a fool to believe him.

However, there was someone who could not detect the sarcasm. Luo Yi lifted his chest up, “Nan Yu Zhi, I am Luo Yi. I am not your friend. I only came over to see what you looked like. Now that I’ve seen you, you are not as good looking as me.”

“So you are Luo Yi, the Rising Spirit Sects’ Young Master. I have been looking forward to meeting you. Nice to meet you.” Nan Yu Zhi reached out his hand.

Luo Yi slapped his hand away and said, “I have also been looking forward to meeting you.”

“I didn’t think that my little banquet could actually manage to invite the Soul Region’s fourth prince. I feel so honoured.”

“Ha- don’t you show up every time, secretly delighted?” Luo Yi did not like the way he faked his laughter. It was not sincere at all and you could tell he was a hypocritical person just by looking.

Nan Yu Zhi was not angry either. He turned his gaze to Sima You Yue, and his smile became even more charming, “I wonder what the name of this lady is?”

“Sima You Yue.”

“Sima You Yue.” Nan Yu Zhi raised his eyebrows, “Are you the Sima You Yue that I’ve heard of before?”

“I don’t know what you’ve heard. I am only a nobody, if I didn’t meet Luo Yi when I was queuing up to enter the city, I would not be able to enter such a setting. So, Prince Nan Yu, you’ve probably never heard of my name.” Sima You Yue casually made up an excuse.

It was unknown whether or not Nan Yu Zhi believed in her words, but he did not ask further. Instead, he gave her a serious look and said, “Please do as you wish. I still have other guests to attend to, excuse me.”

Nan Yu Zhi went to talk to the others, and Sima You Yue and Luo Yi stayed for a while before leaving.

Once they boarded the beast cart, Luo Yi could not continue to maintain his image as a quiet handsome man. He started to pull Sima You Yue and talked non-stop.

“You Yue did you see that? This person only does things for the sake of his reputation. The people that he had invited are all random cultivators. As long as he is nice to them, they will follow him. This way, he will be able to bring more people in.”

“What you have said is correct.” Sima You Yue thought that Luo Yi would only focus on Nan Yu Zhi, but it looked like he still had some intellect.

“Right? You also agree with me.?You tell me, how could such a person be rated among the Four Princes? Even ranking before me. I really don’t understand.” Luo Yi continued to speak, “I say, you do know about the Four Princes, right?”

“Last night, your servants had already briefed me about this.” Sima You Yue said.

Actually, what she really wanted to say was that it was fine that a guy like Nan Yu Zhi was on the list, but how did Luo Yi, who was so talkative, get on the list?

The Soul Region was properly governed by Qing Hun. Within the dominance of the Imperial Capital, it was divided into four big parts. In order to keep a good relationship with the Divine Beasts, he named them Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon and White Tiger.

The Fourth Prince was the Azure Dragon’s Fourth Great Prince, it was said that the evaluation was based on their background of appearance and strength.

Sima You Yue felt that if they were to include quietness as part of the evaluation, Luo Yi would surely not make the cut.

“You Yue, what I said was correct right?” I feel that a person like him shouldn’t even be in the ranking. And he even ranks ahead of me? You tell me, I want…”

“Luo Yi, if you are able to keep your quiet boy image, your ranking will surely be higher than Nan Yu Zhi’s.” Sima You Yue said sincerely.

“Alright, I know you dislike me for talking too much.” Luo Yi said, “But I just can’t control my mouth. If I don’t talk, I will feel uncomfortable.”

“This is a kind of sickness, you have to treat it.”

“Really? How do I treat it? Do you have any solutions?”

“...”

Sima You Yue shook her head. This innocent child…

Luo Liu was also gloomy. His Young Master was too easy to lie to.

Sima You Yue took out a pill, “After you eat this pill, you will be able to reduce your desire to speak, but it will not do any harm to your body.”

“Really?” Luo Yi took the pill and analysed it carefully. He even put it near his nose to smell it, and he swallowed the pill before Luo Liu could react.”

The pill dissolved in his mouth and Luo Liu wanted him to spit it out immediately, but he was too late.

Sima You Yue did not think that this fellow would be so direct and that he would eat it right away.

“Are you not afraid that it might be poison?” She asked in surprise.

“Was that poison?” Luo Yi blinked his eyes, he did not seem to have thought about it at all.

Sima You Yue was speechless, “Then what were you looking for just now?”

“I just thought that this pill smelled good.”

Everyone: ...

“Alright.” Sima You Yue tried her best to make herself smile, “This pill shows results immediately, how do you feel right now?”

“It seems like I don’t have the urge to talk anymore.” Luo Yi touched his neck.

“That’s good.”

“Will one be enough?”

“Yes.”

When they reached the small yard, Luo Yi returned to the bamboo garden, and Luo Liu intentionally walked slower.

“Lady You Yue, that pill…”

Sima You Yue laughed, “That pill is to treat an upset stomach.”

Luo Liu: ....
