Dead silence.
The originally crowded mountain suddenly became cold and lonely due to this sudden commotion.
Quite a few people exchanged glances and had various expressions. Jiang Zhiyuan's previous words… contain too much information! Agreement between the elders, childhood sweethearts?! Doesn't this mean that… she and Rong Xiu long had a marriage agreement settled by the elders? However, someone stole her love in the end, and it wasn't fulfilled? Also… the Sky-Cloud Empire's princess consort is actually someone from outside the realm?
Even though Elder Bo Yan and the rest had long known of the news regarding the Sky-Cloud Empire, it didn't spread. Thus, quite a few people in the academy didn't know about it, which was why it was especially shocking now that they suddenly heard it.
Gradually, all sorts of discussions could be heard amidst the crowd.
