At Xiu Yu Valley, Yihua Palace, two stunning figures stood side by side, gazing up at the sky. A gentle breeze swept by, making their flowing garments dance in the air, as if they were about to ride the wind and ascend. Their elegance was like a light cloud veiling the moon, their grace akin to a drifting breeze stirring falling snow. They seemed nothing like ordinary mortals.
Rather, they appeared to be celestial goddesses descended from the heavens. Their mere presence instantly elevated the splendor of the entire Xiu Yu Valley. Suddenly, a divine light descended, and Lianxing’s figure vanished in an instant.
Standing beside her, Yaoyue’s pupils constricted sharply as a monstrous wave of shock surged within her heart. This was truly the work of an immortal! From start to finish, she hadn’t even sensed how Lianxing disappeared.
If an immortal intended to do something to her, she wouldn’t have the slightest ability to resist. This realization unsettled Yaoyue, who had reigned supreme for far too long.
Lifting her head, she saw Lianxing’s figure appearing in the sky, her gaze flickering with complex emotions, but she remained silent.

At Huiyan Tower, Watching Yilin and Tian Boguang vanish into thin air right before him, Linghu Chong was momentarily stunned. An incredulous thought crept into his mind as he suddenly looked up.
Seeing Yilin and Tian Boguang appear in the sky, Linghu Chong was utterly shocked. Out of the entire Martial World, only five spots were available, and yet, two of them had been taken by the people right next to him!
And even though all three of them had been together, he was the one left out!
This… this…
Linghu Chong sighed regretfully.
This live broadcast Q&A game looked like a lot of fun, and he wanted to participate as well.
What a pity.
Feeling dejected, Linghu Chong took a big swig of wine, completely ignoring the fact that he was still injured.

At the same time, five golden characters appeared in the live broadcast room, each corresponding to one of the five selected individuals.
【Ye Luochuan has entered the live broadcast room】
【Long Xiaoyun has entered the live broadcast room】
【Lianxing has entered the live broadcast room】
【Yilin has entered the live broadcast room】
【Tian Boguang has entered the live broadcast room】
As they gazed upon the five figures in the sky, the entire Martial World erupted into chaos. Countless people breathed heavily, their eyes turning red with jealousy.
【Old Mischief Zhou Botong】: What?! I wasn’t chosen?! How can this be?! This isn’t fun at all! I hate it!
【Xingxiu Sect Ah Zi】: Three men and two women… Oh, and one of them is a groom!
【Supreme Alliance Ren Qianxing】: Getting picked by the live broadcast room in the middle of a wedding—what a double blessing! Truly lucky.
【Yan Ziwu Bao Buhuan】: Not necessarily! This might not be good luck. If he answers incorrectly and gets erased by the broadcast room, it’ll be terrible luck instead.
【Demonic Shadow Bian Bufu】: Sluuurp! What a stunning beauty! Too bad she’s in another state—I can’t have a taste.
【Ruthless Cloud Hawk】: Who knew that a nun could be this beautiful? It’s making my whole body heat up.
【Iron Sword Sect Master Yu Zhenzi】: That woman in palace attire is absolutely exquisite! In all my years, I’ve never seen such a top-tier beauty. Lianxing? A beautiful name for a beautiful woman.
【Seven Stars Hall Murong Qiudi】: A bunch of despicable perverts! You’ll all be slapped to death sooner or later!
【Four-Browed Lu Xiaofeng】: The five chosen ones sure are good-looking. Could beauty be part of the selection criteria? If only they swapped out Tian Boguang for me, it would be perfect!
【King of Thieves Sikong Zhaixing】: Lu Xiaochicken, stop flattering yourself!
【Sun Moon Sect Qu Feiyan】: Tian Boguang, a notorious pervert, actually got selected by the live broadcast room?
【Hengshan Sect Master Dingyi】: Yilin! Where have you gone? How did you get separated from us?!
【Young Master of Yihua Palace Hua Wuque】: Second Master!
【Little Li Flying Dagger Li Xunhuan】: Brother, be careful when answering the questions.
【Sun Xiaohong】: Wow! Little Li Flying Dagger, Li Xunhuan!

The bullet comments in the live broadcast room surged like a tidal wave, flooding the screen at an overwhelming pace. Meanwhile, the five chosen individuals, still reeling from a mix of shock and excitement, began surveying their surroundings.
They found themselves standing inside a grand and majestic hall. The five of them exchanged glances. Ye Luochuan’s gaze quickly swept past Long Xiaoyun and Tian Boguang before settling on Yilin. She appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, possessing an unparalleled purity and elegance.
Her complexion was as radiant as polished jade, her beauty luminous and untouched. Her graceful figure had a natural curvature, and despite being draped in a loose monk’s robe, it could not conceal her delicate and enchanting form. She was truly a rare beauty.
Ye Luochuan silently praised her in his heart. Typically, a woman’s beauty is significantly influenced by her hair. Whether she has hair or how her hairstyle is styled can greatly impact her appearance. Yet, even with a shaved head, Yilin’s beauty remained breathtaking.
In The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Yue Lingshan had inherited the beauty of her mother, Ning Zhongze, making her an exceptional beauty. Even so, Linghu Chong had to admit that Yilin’s beauty surpassed that of Yue Lingshan.
And that was with Yue Lingshan benefiting from the ‘lover’s filter’. It was hard to imagine how otherworldly Yilin would look if she ever let her hair grow.
In the original novel, perhaps only the female lead, Ren Yingying, could rival her beauty. Ye Luochuan’s gaze lingered on Yilin only briefly before shifting to Lianxing.
Lianxing looked to be around twenty years old. She was dressed in a cloud-like embroidered palace gown, with a long skirt trailing on the ground and cascading black hair flowing like drifting clouds. Her delicate and sweet face was more radiant than spring flowers.
Her clear and luminous eyes flickered playfully, brimming with an indescribable intelligence. Yet, they also carried an unexpected innocence—one unfitting for someone her age. Still, her beauty was dazzling beyond compare.
And her aura was even more extraordinary—so captivating that it was impossible to ignore her presence.
She stood there like a proud phoenix perched atop a parasol tree, exuding an aloofness that looked down upon the world. Seeing Lianxing’s stunning presence, Ye Luochuan couldn’t help but be amazed.
In terms of sheer looks, Yilin might not be much inferior to Lianxing. But even if Yilin grew out her hair, she would likely still fall short. Because their aura was worlds apart!
It was no wonder—Yilin was just a naive and pure-hearted little nun, whereas Lianxing. She was the Second Palace Mistress of Yihua Palace!
In Peerless Twin Pride, Yihua Palace was renowned across the Martial World, and as one of its ruling figures, Lianxing had naturally cultivated an unparalleled presence. That was something ordinary people could never hope to match.
