Kong Rui didn’t respond to the servant’s words.
Compared to her original appearance, Li Ling’s current appearance was far inferior! As for the head of the Li family?
She didn’t care for it!
Seeing that Li Ling didn’t react, the servant took a few steps back and didn’t dare to say anything else.
After all the preparations were in place, Kong Rui heard the butler’s voice outside the courtyard. “Miss Li Ling, we should prepare to set off!”
Compared to the night before, the butler sounded much more relaxed and even a little excited.
After yesterday’s incident, the butler actually didn’t show any resentment. Was this normal?
Kong Rui didn’t want to think about these things. She would think about it after the competition!
She walked out of the room and into the courtyard.
When the servants saw Li Ling’s outfit, their eyes widened and they were speechless.
Li Ling’s appearance was the cute girl-next-door type, and her mannerisms very usually very casual, so she wasn’t very intimidating.
It was unknown if the clothes prepared by the Patriarch were too imposing, or if Li Ling had changed from the inside out, but they actually vaguely felt a regal aura from Li Ling!
The servants immediately hung their heads, not daring to take another look.
When Kong Rui walked to the entrance of the courtyard, the butler was waiting patiently.
When he saw Li Ling’s appearance, his eyes widened in shock before he lowered his head respectfully. “Miss, please go ahead!”
Kong Rui nodded and sat in the carriage that had been prepared.
The Patriarch was already sitting in a carriage in front. Kong Rui’s carriage had been prepared for her by the Patriarch yesterday. It was said that this carriage had cost thousands of yuan to build!
Kong Rui looked around the interior of the carriage. There wasn’thing special about it, but ever since she sat in the carriage, she felt spiritual energy surrounding her.
It seemed that this was why this carriage was so expensive!
When they arrived at the Bestial Battle Arena, Kong Rui alighted from the carriage and walked to the Patriarch’s side.
Not far away, Fu Jiao also alighted from the sedan chair.
She didn’t walk towards her seat immediately. Instead, she glanced around. When she saw Li Ling, her face was filled with anger.
After thinking about what happened in the First Restaurant yesterday, Fu Jiao felt that Li Ling had deliberately arranged it!
Why were the three of them the only ones who suffered humiliation in the restaurant while Li Ling was kidnapped by that person and returned unscathed?!
Most importantly, everyone in the imperial capital found out about what had happened in the First Restaurant in less than half a day. Some people even saw with their own eyes that Li Ling had brought a powerhouse from outside back to the Li family’s residence!
With this analysis, the possibility of Li Ling setting up a trap was even higher!
Fu Jiao gritted her teeth and glared at Li Ling, as if she would have torn Li Ling apart if not for the presence of the elders of the two families.
Kong Rui glanced at Fu Jiao, then ignored her and looked in the other direction.
Hua Shang was still dressed in white. The white bamboo hat on his head hung low, covering his head and face.
However, Kong Rui could feel Hua Shang’s gaze and saw his interested expression.
Kong Rui frowned slightly. She didn’t intend to become the other party’s target, nor did she intend to let the other party mock her. When she turned around, she met Nie Yin’s suspicious gaze.
Kong Rui trembled slightly and subconsciously wanted to avoid that gaze.
Nie Yin seemed to have seen through her disguise and even sensed the existence of Kong Rui’s soul in Li Ling’s body!
That gaze made Kong Rui shudder. She turned around to avoid that gaze.
The moment Kong Rui avoided his gaze, Nie Yin’s expression changed slightly.
Could it really be her?
Nie Yin’s suspicious gaze didn’t linger on Li Ling for long before it was blocked by a figure.
“Brother Nie Yin, you’re finally here!” Wen Qiong’s voice sounded behind Kong Rui.
“Greetings, Princess!” The group immediately greeted Wen Qiong.
The princess really came early. The competition had yet to begin, so why was she in the Bestial Battle Arena?
Wen Qiong couldn’t care less!
Over the past few days, Nie Yin had rejected her invitation several times on the pretext that he had to prepare for the spirit beast competition.
When Wen Qiong heard that Nie Yin had been humiliated in the First Restaurant yesterday, she wanted him to enter the palace to chat, but she heard that he wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t enter the palace.
The queen didn’t allow her to come out, so she could only take this opportunity to express concern for Nie Yin so that he wouldn’t think that she wasn’t considerate enough!
