He was in his early twenties, with golden hair and blue eyes, a tall and straight figure like a pine, and steady, elegant steps, as if each step landed on a musical note.
His eyes were deep and full of affection, and a smile played on his lips, revealing a mysterious and charming demeanor.
His attire was typical Tanzan Royal Family style, with a light gold, slanted-lapel, half-sleeved long robe on the upper body and a black long skirt called a Kanjie on the lower body.
He introduced himself as Suweia.
Coupled with his attire, it was clear he was a member of the Royal Family.
Yu Xuantong, walking down the gangway, smiled and shook hands with the man, neither humble nor arrogant: "Thank you, Your Highness Cairuis, for coming all this way to greet us. I am Yu Xuantong, the Team Leader of the Dragonflower Country delegation."
"So it's Team Leader Yu, welcome."
The young man's eyes, like a blue sea, swept over the crowd behind Yu Xuantong. His gaze was not aggressive, but the faint curiosity and assessment within it were not hidden.
He nodded to everyone one by one, his smile as warm as sunshine, the slight upward curve of his lips seemingly capable of melting all the coldness in the world.
This caused Xia Zhizhi and several other young girls, who had yet to experience love, to blush shyly.
This person was indeed very handsome.
His appearance could rival that of the peak-Appearance Xiao Li Country, with an added three points of elegance and nobility.
Of course, Mingxi considered herself a little girl who hadn't fully grown, so she had no interest in this handsome man.
"Team Leader Yu, everyone, we have already arranged accommodation for your delegation. Please follow me."
"Thank you."
The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Everyone boarded the shuttle buses, which were decorated with many flowers, in two groups.
Yu Xuantong, as the Team Leader, took most of the logistics team with Aiven Cairuis Suweiya in the first shuttle bus, while Yuan Hu and the four coaches took Mingxi and the 20 players in the second.
The coaches were not just coaches; they also had the responsibility of protecting the players.
Especially Mingxi.
Before departure, they had even been summoned by the Grand Elder, who instructed them to do their utmost to protect Mingxi's safety, and in absolutely dire circumstances, even if it meant sacrificing the lives of others, they must ensure her safety.
"Xiao Xi, do you know who this Aiven Cairuis Suweiya is?"
After boarding the shuttle bus, Jia Xiaoxiao tugged at Mingxi and whispered in her ear.
Mingxi was munching on a specialty fruit from Tanzania and casually replied, "He's a member of the Tanzan Royal Family, I guess."
"He's not just an ordinary Royal Family member. He's the ninth prince, born to the current Tanzan Emperor and Empress. He just turned 20 this year, so he's definitely participating in this Blue Sun Cup, and he might be one of your toughest opponents in this Blue Sun Cup."
No wonder Team Leader Yu addressed him as Your Highness.
He really was a prince.
"A prince personally coming to be a greeter?"
Jia Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Our Dragonflower Country's international status in the entire alliance is among the best. Tanzania has always been on good terms with our country, so it's not surprising for them to send a prince to host us."
"And who knows, he might even be here specifically for you. Didn't you notice him secretly looking at you several times just now?"
Mingxi had, of course, noticed.
However, she was now accustomed to being the center of attention, with more people noticing her.
She didn't take it too much to heart.
"Who cares about him."
Tanzania had made many preparations for the Blue Sun Cup.
Take, for example, the accommodation arranged for the national delegations: they actually built a small town within the city, covering an area of over ten thousand square meters. Besides dividing it into eleven districts for each national delegation to reside in, the town also featured functional areas such as a shopping district, leisure and entertainment area, sports training area, and food district.
And next to this small town within the city was the Anlin Yalan Arena, where the Blue Sun Cup would be held.
The Dragonflower Country delegation's residence was given a very Dragonflower Country-Featured name, called Shenghua Residence. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Team Leader Yu, Shenghua Residence was only recently constructed, so some areas might not be perfectly complete. Please bear with us if there are any shortcomings."
"Your Highness is too kind; this place is excellent."
Ai Wen smiled, "You can give any instructions to Butler Zhang and the other attendants if you have any needs."
The butler and attendants at Shenghua Residence were all from Dragonflower Country, showing that Tanzania had indeed put in a lot of effort.
"Thank you, Your Highness Cairuis."
"Then Ai Wen will not disturb everyone any further."
"I'll see you off."
Before leaving, Ai Wen looked at Mingxi once more.
Two minutes later, Ai Wen was in his exclusive Royal Family hovercar.
"Your Highness, did you see her? What do you think?"
Besides Ai Wen, a man and a woman were also in the car: a red-haired young man with arrogant eyes, and a brown-haired woman with an exceptionally cold expression.
Ai Wen nodded: "I saw her. She looks like a somewhat ordinary girl."
The red-haired young man was surprised: "Ordinary? Is she ugly?"
"No, not at all. Although I didn't see her full face, she should be quite pretty. The reason I found her ordinary is that she doesn't seem to have much presence, which is a bit different from what I imagined. I thought she would be strong and sharp like that woman Catherine, but she looks soft, like a fluffy red mochi ball, without much aggressiveness."
The cold woman, however, said, "Your Highness must not be careless. You cannot judge a book by its cover. She is the first B-Grade Beastmaster participant in the history of the Blue Sun Cup, the biggest favorite to win the individual competition, and the greatest rival for all of our players!"
"I know, I was just a little surprised."
"I heard Tepura Durgell from Xiao Li Country declared he has a way to defeat her. I wonder if he's just bragging?"
"Whether he's bragging or not isn't important. Anyway, they'll face off sooner or later. We'll know then, won't we?"
"Let's wait and see."
The 'she' they were referring to was, of course, Mingxi.
Just as Jia Xiaoxiao guessed, Ai Wen, the Ninth Prince, personally came to receive the Dragonflower Country delegation not only because Tanzania and Dragonflower Country were on good terms but also to meet Mingxi, this unparalleled genius.
At this time, other national delegations in Suweia, having learned that the Dragonflower Country delegation had arrived safely, were also discussing her.
"In previous Blue Sun Cups, it was already remarkable to have one or two C-rank Beastmasters. This time, it's even better; a B-Grade Beastmaster has directly appeared. How are the rest of us supposed to compete? What the hell is there even to compete for? Might as well just give her the championship directly!"
"Don't say angry words. Can you blame others for being too strong if your own strength is insufficient? You should know she's only 15 years old!"
"What a monster!"
"A B-Grade Beastmaster isn't unbeatable. In the individual competition, it's 2V2. No matter how many beast pets she has, she can only send out two, just like everyone else."
"Are you kidding? Since she's a B-Grade Beastmaster, it means her strongest beast pet is at least Shi-level strength. Isn't one Shi-level easily enough to crush our General-level ones?"
"It's not like # Nоvеlight # there's no possibility of winning against a higher level."
"So you're saying you're confident you can defeat her?"
"...And what if I am?"
"If you didn't sound so guilty, I might just barely believe you."
