Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 616 Yuwen Jun

Thus, the feast officially began amidst the adults’ lavish praise for Bai Junjun.

Bai Junjun ate the court’s health-preserving dishes with the enthusiasm of chewing wax.

The Noble Ladies behind her, however, couldn’t help but whisper secretly.

After all, they had wanted to know how Bai Junjun had come back, but due to Li Yanran’s sudden incident, no one dared to broach such an unlucky subject at the time.

Now that Lord Ma, the Minister of Works, had asked, everyone finally knew the reason.

"Even so... wasn’t she close with the Ninth Prince?"

"Yeah, she even abandoned her fiancé for the Ninth Prince back then. Who would have thought she’d see the day when she’s discarded by Yuwen Jun, and in such a manner, too. It’s truly ironic."

"Abandoned by her former lover, and even having her reputation ruined by him, how can she act as if nothing’s wrong?"

"Don’t forget, even the fall of the Shi clans didn’t stop her from strutting around with her nose in the air. What’s being abandoned compared to that?"

"Indeed."

The Noble Ladies thought they were chatting in secret, not realizing that every word had reached Bai Junjun’s ears.

However, Bai Junjun didn’t care in the slightest about such gossip and rumors.

In the midst of the feast where cups and plates were passed around, only the Minister of Rites was anxious, shaking his head repeatedly as if deeply troubled by some thought.

Bai Junjun couldn’t help but curl her lips, guessing that this self-proclaimed greatest magician of the Imperial Capital must have misunderstood her alliance with Yuwen Luanfei.

She had warned them in the morning not to get involved in the struggle for the Crown Prince, and now she seemed to be siding with Yuwen Luanfei in the evening. The painstaking efforts of the Minister of Rites had all been in vain, and she would be angry too if she were in his shoes.

The banquet ended with mixed feelings among the guests, and to show his value of her, Yuwen Luanfei rewarded her with one thousand taels of silver.

Bai Junjun, looking at the shining silver, smiled with her eyes.

Indeed, the effort to socialize was worth it, and she wouldn’t mind attending one banquet every day if they all were rewarded like this.

And so, the Royal Court feast ended.

Upon Bai Junjun’s return, her whole family was waiting for her.

Some worried whether she had been comfortable or wronged, while others were more interested in what goodies were in the horse carriage. When they saw everything was gold, silver, and jewels, but no wine, someone disappointingly returned to his room.

"..." Bai Junjun.

...

The next day, the troubling question that had persisted among the common folk— "Who is the new master of the Bai Residence?"— finally had an answer.

It was completely unexpected that the World’s Number One Talent Girl had returned!

Wasn’t she said to have died?

Why would she suddenly appear here?

If she’s here, then what’s the meaning behind the Ninth Prince’s journey south?

Thus, the rumor that "Yuwen Jun didn’t journey south for love but rather shamelessly used his lover to invade the Eastern Land, revealing himself as the true heartless, faithless, and despicable scoundrel" wildly spread through the Imperial Capital.

In time, the rumor traveled with the merchants of the Imperial Capital to all places, and soon the common folk of both the Western Region and Eastern Land also came to know of it.

...

In the Eastern Land, Biluo City.

The City Lord’s Mansion was on high alert, and a man clad in a dark purple robe sat earnestly reading a letter by the window bay.

He had a face as fine as top-grade suet jade, fair and handsome.

After he finished reading the letter in his hand, the study’s door suddenly burst open.

The man in the dark purple robe slightly lifted his gaze, which revealed a profound chill and darkness.

"My lord... outside..." The person attempting to speak was cut off by the man’s wave of his sleeve.

An invisible force struck suddenly, as if the person was punched hard in the chest.

He flew backwards, his throat sweet with uncontrollable blood spewing forth.

"My... lord."

"Initially, it was you who told me she was dead," Yuwen Jun said slowly as he approached the doorway, his voice poisonous.

"I..." The man moved back nervously.
