Chapter 297 Zen Was So Remarkable (Part One)
Yates had met Nina Zhu several times and not even during the course of his interactions, he had rather
fallen in love with her at first sight.

Zhu n was one of the top seven noble ns in the empire and Nina belonged to the same. On the
contrary, Yates was only a young master from a small declining noble n. It was said that Nina had a
very high position in the Zhu n. Although she was a girl, and she did not have much ascendancy in
strength, she was deemed to be even higher in rank than the eldest son of the eldest branch. She was,
so to speak, doted on by all family members.
With therge social gap between the two in mind, which was actually the gap between the two ns,
Yates had already decided that the usual ways of wooing a girl would not work. When it came to
marriages, the noble ns preferred that their sons and daughters be wed into families of equal status.
Even with the strength, talent, wealth and status that Yates carried, marrying Nina was an unrealistic
fantasy. If the Mo n sent a matchmaker to the Zhu n with orders to formally talk about a
marriage, not only he, but the entire n would be humiliated terribly by the Zhus.
Therefore, Yates did the only sensible thing that he could do, and asked his cousin Yetta to bring Nina
to their house. Yetta was Nina''s friend in Lady Peak, Cloud Sect. Yates was hoping to win Nina''s heart
through their mutual contacts.
Last time, Yates had heard that Nina was going to take part in the trial for ying demons. Immediately,
he had gotten desperate to pass the examination in Egret Peak as well. A pity there were so many
talented disciples over there! Although he had passed the initial test, he was defeated by the other
disciples in the second test and therefore, could not qualify for the trials. After all, Yates'' strength of
fourth-grade of nature level was not particrly overbearing against the inner disciples.
During Nina''s stay in White Emperor City, Yates had also been concerned for her safety. However, after
she hade back to the Cloud Sect, he was at a loss and couldn''t find a reason to keep visiting her
anymore. The family party was a good opportunity for him and therefore, when he heard about it, he
strongly demanded his cousin, Yetta, to bring Nina to the party. In return, he promised to give her a low-
grade spiritual weapon for her kind help.
Motivated by his offer, Yetta did her best to persuade Nina to join the party.
Once Nina came, Yates stopped fussing with Nory and his ''loser friends'' anymore. Obviously, Nina was
to be the center of his attention now.
"This is Miss Nina Zhu, the youngdy of the Zhu n. Tell everybody!" Yates ordered his servant.
The servant announced over the hubbub of the party obediently, "Miss Nina Zhu, the youngdy of the
Zhu n is here!"
The noble ns would often loudly announce their guests'' presence in order to show respect, which
was also a way to show off their ss and status. Normally, their names would be announced by the
servants. If the host announced their names himself, it meant that the guests were extremely
distinguished and the host valued them very much.
As a youngdy of the Zhu n, Nina was certainly a notable guest for the Mo n. But since she
was a woman, Yates thought it would be better to have her announced by a servant. If a direct son of
the Zhu n, such as Hendy or Matthew, came, Yates would have announced him himself.
Interestingly, ording to this custom, Wurth, the young master of the wealthy Zhang n required
Yates to announce him personally.
Nory knew about the same, but couldn''t take the initiative to announce him, since Wurth was a very
low-key person and Yates didn''t know him at all. In his opinion, all of Nory''s friends who were in white
robes of Cloud Sect were rabbles.
Nina was wearing a pink coat with a silvery moire today. For warriors of the nature level, the function of
clothing was more of beautifying than resisting cold. They were said to be able to stand in the snow
naked without feeling any cold!
The pink coat suited her and set off her delicate figure. And charming face made her stand off from the
crowd, even though the women from Lady Peak sitting right next to her were also pretty.
She habitually responded when she heard someone say hello to her. In her memory, the inner disciple
standing in front of her was most probably Yetta''s brother. But he was still a stranger to her since they
hadn''t interacted very often.
After the servant had announced her, Yates courteously led Nina and the other girls from Lady Peak to
their table. The servants hadid out the chairs diligently and they respectfully invited the girls to take
their seats, drawing a chair for each one of them.
After sitting down, Nina felt someone gazing at her. Her eyes swept over a table nearby and suddenly
settled on Zen''s face.
"Zen?" Nina eximed.
She immediately got excited on seeing the man.
Here was the man who had risked his life to save her and squeezed his strength to kill the demon
generals. Obviously, he had deeply branded an indelible mark on her heart.
On that day, after the fierce war between the imperial army and the demons in the White Emperor City,
the disciples of the Cloud Sect had eventually been sent back, except for Zen.
Ynde had captured him for his fight with Hugh.
Nina had been really concerned about him. Before leaving White Emperor City, she had implored her
uncle Lennie to protect him in any case.
Although her uncle had promised readily, Nina was still deeply worried.
Later, she had learned from correspondence with her uncle that Zen had not only survived the war, but
had also made great contributions.
