"Ta, ta, ta..."

The entire castle suddenly fell into a deathly silence, with only the clattering sound of the hard heels of military boots hitting the ground echoing through the air.

Dongfang Qingyuan was dressed in a military uniform, the military green color as cold and hard as he was. He walked through the stiff crowd without changing his expression, not even glancing at the approaching butler Zheng.

He walked straight through most of the crowd, headed to a corner of the castle, and stopped under everyone's gaze.

"...male, male, male god..."

In a slightly dim corner sat a long-haired girl with a fair and delicate face, clear features, and a very gentle demeanor. She looked up at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with admiration, her expression somewhat shy, and her speech became a little stammering.

"Haha, sorry, sorry." Luo Hua, who had been following behind Dongfang Qingyuan the whole way but had been completely ignored, stepped forward with a smile and dutifully fulfilled her "duty" as his adjutant: "Miss, I'm sorry, our Marshal prefers peace and quiet. This position is quite good. Could you please move to another seat for the Marshal?"

"Huh?" The girl's face was instantly dumbfounded. She clearly hadn't expected that Marshal Dongfang would stand in front of her, bypassing everyone else, for this reason.

She glanced at Dongfang Qingyuan, who stood before her with a cold expression and remained silent, and then at Luo Hua beside Dongfang Qingyuan, who had a bright smile on her face and expectant eyes. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Luo Hua was always patient with girls, and was quietly waiting for her answer. However, Dongfang Qingyuan did not have the same patience. The two of them were being watched by everyone in the castle, and standing there under so many eyes made him very uncomfortable. His mood instantly soured, and he didn't bother to hide it, giving Luo Hua a cold glance.

Luo Hua instantly received the signal. Recalling Marshal Dongfang's methods, she felt a chill run down her spine. She simply abandoned her gentlemanly demeanor and stepped forward: "Miss, you've been considering this for a long time. So, could you please give up your seat?"

The person who was just smiling suddenly turned cold, and the girl was even more caught off guard. She subconsciously obeyed Luo Hua's words and stood up.

"Thank you girl."

Seeing that the girl had given up her seat, Luo Hua instantly switched back to her smiling face, bowed slightly as a gesture of thanks.

Since he had said that, the girl felt embarrassed to sit down even if she didn't want to give up her seat. She could only look back at the still-warm seat behind her and, for some reason, left somewhat reluctantly.

"Humph!"

Seeing the girl's reaction, Dongfang Qingyuan felt even more displeased. He snorted coldly. Luo Hua knew his marshal's temper. He casually glanced around, reached out and pulled out a small cloth bag that he had somehow gotten his hands on. Just when everyone thought he was going to put the crystal card in it, he started using the small cloth bag to wipe the sofa.

Sigh! It's best to be tolerant of the Marshal's temper.

Once Dongfang Qingyuan was seated, she glanced casually at the entire room, and those unrestrained scrutinizing gazes withdrew.

Because of the live broadcast, even though everyone present knew that the Taishu family and the Dongfang family were estranged, in the eyes of the uninformed masses, the two families should be as close as family. In any case, since Dongfang Qingyuan, who had never attended this fundraising dinner in previous years, had come to the banquet, the host, Butler Zheng, should have stepped forward to express his closeness.

However, Butler Zheng had no chance at all. As soon as he got close, Dongfang Qingyuan gave him a cold look, successfully stopping him in his tracks.

Everyone in the castle glanced at the scene out of the corner of their eyes, eager to see what would happen. The Dongfang family was powerful, and even with Dongfang Qingyuan's attitude, no one felt anything was wrong.

Butler Zheng was furious, but dared not show it. He gave a wink to the side, and immediately a young man stepped forward, walking up to him as if to strike up a conversation. Taking this opportunity, Butler Zheng gave Dongfang Qingyuan an apologetic smile and raised his wine glass in the distance, making it seem like the two were good friends. However, Dongfang Qingyuan didn't give him any response.

Butler Zheng could no longer suppress his emotions, and his face visibly darkened. He chatted with the young man standing next to him for a few words, and the two of them naturally went to the side to talk.

Luo Hua stood behind Dongfang Qingyuan, witnessing the entire process. He felt a strange sense of trepidation, but he still cautiously stepped forward and whispered a reminder to Dongfang Qingyuan: "Lord Taiming, you are now Dongfang Qingyuan, the marshal of the alliance. At this time, you should at least give people a reaction. In the eyes of outsiders, the Dongfang family and the Taishu family have a relatively good relationship."

"Is that so?" Yan Ning snorted lightly. "I am a dignified God-King, while he is just a weak mortal. Why should I react to him?"

After saying that, he still felt resentful, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes: "Don't try to shut me up with the Jade Emperor's words. I'm not even an adult yet, what kind of love tribulation am I going to experience in the mortal realm?!"

"Everyone knows that minors shouldn't date. He knew I was underage, yet he still sent me down to the mortal realm, saying he wanted me to undergo a love tribulation. How could I possibly have a love tribulation at such a young age?! He clearly just doesn't like me and is playing with me!!!"

When this was mentioned, Yan Ning completely abandoned her previous aloof demeanor, acting like a resentful child rebelling against the will imposed by her parents.

"My Lord, you are the future pillar of the divine realm. How could the Jade Emperor play tricks on you?" Luo Hua carefully comforted him. "The Marriage Stone of the Old Man Under the Moon does indeed show that your love tribulation has been completed. The Jade Emperor had no choice but to send you down to the mortal realm."

Yan Ning scoffed at Luo Hua's words, turned to look at him, and waved her hand at him: "Forget it, I don't want to talk about this. Go get me some food!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

Watching Luo Hua turn and leave, Yan Ning withdrew her gaze and sneered, "Love tribulation? What a joke! I threw away my destined love long ago. That old bastard Yue Lao himself said that I was destined to be alone for life. Now he's using this fabricated excuse. Does he really think I'm stupid?"

A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. Although he didn't know Luo Hua's purpose, he had been trying to stay in this small world. Anyway, he didn't have anything to do in the God Realm recently, so he might as well play along with him.

Yan Ning raised her hand to call the maid holding a wine glass not far away, but she froze the moment she raised her hand.

"What's this?"

Suddenly, a golden thread appeared on his wrist, one end connecting to him and the other extending into the distance.

He reached out and hooked the gold thread, gently flicking it, causing it to tremble several times. The extended gold thread passed by several people, but the trembling of the thread did not attract their attention at all.

"Can't you see it...?"

For some reason, Yan Ning felt a little nervous. The purpose of this golden thread was unknown, but she remembered what Luo Hua had told her before…

"A love tribulation..."

He followed the golden thread to the other end, where the thread was tied to a little girl who was eating something, looking very content, with her eyebrows curved in a smile, a picture of tranquility.

"So this is... my tribulation..."
