Because of suspicion that she had cheated, Shen Tianyu was knocked down to fifth on the list. The current order of contestants were Rong Jian, the Crown Prince, Junzhu Wen Ya, Luo Yenmu, then Shen Tianyu. They really looked like Romeo and Juliet with the placings on the list. Though, in this case, the Romeo, Rong Jian, was more furious than the Juliet, Shen Tianyu. After making a scene when he heard the news and got held back from storming the Imperial Palace, Rong Jian finally calmed down after he made a noisy mess for a whole day.

"So, what do you plan to do?" Rong Jian asked as he hugged Shen Tianyu from behind.

"Nothing. Why should I care where they place me?" Shen Tianyu replied as she sipped a cup of tea. She was sitting in Rong Jian's lap, being hugged from behind and using his arms similar to a table, resting her arms, which were holding the teacup and saucer, on them.

"They try to slander you and then do something like this. Aren't they calling you inferior?!"

"How can you say that? Didn't they place you first?" In other words, they can deflect any calls of people claiming they saw others not of the royal family as inferior. After all, didn't they place an outsider as first? They would also be currying favor with a potential powerful cultivator. It's two birds with one stone.

"Hmph! Those shameless people, just wait and see, I'll annihilate them all." Rong Jian ground his teeth in anger.

"What's the point of being so worked up? It's not like we'll live here. And it's not like they disqualified me. Just let it go, anger is not good for the body." Shen Tianyu advised as she sipped her tea.

"But these people are really hateful." Luo Shue piped up, chewing on her handkerchief. "Making random assumptions and then denouncing someone else, thinking they were smart." Luo Shue then looked up and let go of her handkerchief, as if enlightened. "That's right! Mistress, how about we put them in their place in the Welcome Party? We can have the two Managers of Lavender Palace and Lotus Pavilion attend and put the in their place!" Luo Shue would never let those stupid royals disgrace her Mistress, who did they think they were?!

"That's right! Tian'er is an important figure of Lavender Palace, how dare they degrade her so?!" Rong Jian immediately agreed.

Shen Tianyu sighed and put her teacup, along with the saucer down on the table, a little harder than necessary to get their attention before they spun up a plan completely on their own. "This matter concerns me. Why are the both of you so much more emotional about this than me? I said I don't care already. Just let it go. Besides, the Managers are busy with managing their respective businesses, we can't just drag them into these insignificant messes whenever we please. They'll know their place once the Competition starts anyways." Shen Tianyu reprimanded the two of them. It really seemed like she and her subordinate had completely switched their personalities today. The usually emotional Shen Tianyu was as calm as a lake on a summer day, while the usually ice-cold and silent Luo Shue was as fiery as a bonfire.


Luo Shue wanted to protest, but seeing the stern eyes of her Mistress, she relented and hung her head. Rong Jian, seeing his partner in crime relent, also backed down. And so the unfamiliar pair's first conspiracy came to an end before it even begun.

...

That evening, the invitation for the Welcoming Party for the contestants of Xing Bei, arrived. The invitations were separately sent for Shen Tianyu and Rong Jian, as if telling a certain someone to learn their place. They did the necessary ceremonies as they received their invitation. However, for Shen Tianyu's which arrived late at night, Rong Jian was unable to go outside to receive it alongside her. Because when he heard the Emperor dared to disturb her sleep so late at night and that he sent it so late at night, he was angered again and ready to ransack the Imperial City. So, Shen Tianyu tied him up and only released him when she finished receiving her invitation. She then went back to sleep. The employees from Yaodu felt like they swallowed a bitter pill as their Miss appeased them not to go on a rampage. The same could be said of the people working in Lotus Pavilion when they heard also. In the end, Shen Tianyu held her head. 'How come I didn't know I took in so many hot-headed people?'

There was two days from the end of the Election Tournament to the Welcoming Party, then another day for the visiting contestants to res from their long journey. The first day had been more or less wasted with lazing around and waiting for their invitations. Other people would be worried about what to wear, but Shen Tianyu and Rong Jian didn't need to be. Shen Tianyu had multiple wardrobes of unworn clothes all over the world, just for incidents like these. Each major Lavender Palace, as in the ones that managed the Lavender Palaces throughout that country, had one or two wardrobes of extravagant clothes for her.

That old geezer of hers was adamant that a girl must dress herself up when appropriate and bought a bunch of clothes and cloth to be made into clothes before. He kept insisting that even if she didn't look good underneath the clothes, she must still dress beautifully in order to rope in a husband. Otherwise, he'd never have a grandchild. They could worry about the husband being repulsed later, was what he had said.

Shen Tianyu just saw all the clothes as formal wear and thought it might come in handy one day so she also didn't refuse too adamantly. Her father was doing it for her, more or less, anyways.

As for Rong Jian... he could just borrow one of the Head Manager's robes. He's sure to have some anyways. If it doesn't fit, they could just adjust it some.
