Chapter 535 - 248: Ming Divine Palace, Is It Really That Impressive?
"However, sir, the battle between Realm Master Cangyuan and Li Xuanxi, I didn’t expect Realm Master Cangyuan to win in the end. It seems that the older the ginger, the spicier it is!" Lin Qizhu analyzed.
"Hmm."
Li Hengsheng only made a sound and didn’t say anything further.
Then he stood up and went to the backyard to begin cultivation.
Li Hengsheng recently had a vague feeling that he was not far from a breakthrough.
Breaking through from Postnatal Great Perfection to the Postnatal Peak realm wasn’t much of a challenge for Li Hengsheng now, but for some reason, as his strength grew, he constantly had a strange feeling in his heart.
This feeling was an ominous premonition.
Li Hengsheng wasn’t very clear why he had such a feeling, he even wrote a letter to Li Changqing.
But Li Changqing only told Li Hengsheng to focus on cultivation and not to overthink, reassuring him that he was there.
This made Li Hengsheng feel at ease.
A few days later.
Southern Wilderness.
A merchant caravan slowly rolled into the Imperial Capital of the Qinyang dynasty.
A young man in white descended from the caravan.
The young man in white headed towards the Imperial Court.
The visitor was none other than Xue Qianbai.
So many years have passed, Xue Qianbai had reached the realm of the Great Martial Sect, and today he came to the Qinyang dynasty to confess to Princess Qinyang.
At the entrance of the Imperial Court, Xue Qianbai took out a token and showed it to the guard.
The guard saw that it was the Eldest Princess’s token.
So he quickly allowed Xue Qianbai to pass.
Xue Qianbai’s emotions were excited, and he was contemplating all the way how to tell Qinyang about this matter.
Chaoque Palace.
Princess Qinyang was reviewing the memorials. Recently, the situation within the Imperial City had greatly changed. Although the Emperor’s health had improved, internal conflicts continued, and as the Eldest Princess, Qinyang had made a strong entrance, now holding power alone to temporarily handle court affairs.
Moreover, Princess Qinyang had drawn in the Ming Divine Palace from the Southern Wilderness. With their help, the entire structure of the Qinyang dynasty had stabilized.
"Eldest Princess."
At this time, a maid approached, whispering in Qinyang’s ear.
Although Qinyang was over thirty, there was no trace of age on her face, still giving the impression of a young girl.
Those lively eyes made one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.
"Ah Xue is here?"
Qinyang’s expression brightened with joy as she quickly got up and said, "Ah Xue hasn’t come for a long time, I really missed him."
"Go quickly to see him."
Qinyang was just about to meet Xue Qianbai.
Who knew, at that moment a guard came running and said, "Reporting to the Eldest Princess, the Young Master of Ming Divine Palace, Mo Jingxin, is here to see Your Highness, saying he wants to discuss matters with you."
"Why is he here again?" Qinyang frowned slightly, clearly displeased with the arrival of the Young Master of Ming Divine Palace.
Moreover, Mo Jingxin always showed interest in her, both openly and subtly; if not for needing the assistance of the Ming Divine Palace, Qinyang really wouldn’t want to deal with such a person.
It is said that in reality, he is a frivolous playboy with a bad reputation.
"Let him wait." Qinyang did not want to see him now, and besides, he had come several times without any serious matter to discuss, just invitations to go out for a boat ride or sightseeing, something Qinyang found distasteful.
"Yes."
After the guard left, Qinyang adjusted her makeup in the mirror, then took her maid to meet Xue Qianbai.
Rain Tower.
This was the place where Xue Qianbai used to practice sword dance for Qinyang each time he came.
"Ah Xue."
Footsteps approached, accompanied by a familiar voice, a voice that haunted Xue Qianbai’s dreams.
Xue Qianbai turned around to see Princess Qinyang walking towards him with a smile.
The sunlight beamed down, and in that moment, Xue Qianbai’s eyes moved, and his gaze softened.
"Princess Qinyang," Xue Qianbai stepped forward and said.
"Long time no see." Qinyang was momentarily stunned when she saw Xue Qianbai, exclaiming in surprise, "Oh, Ah Xue, you seem a bit different from before."
The maid behind her was also surprised at Xue Qianbai’s appearance.
Previously, Xue Qianbai always appeared like a gentle scholar with long hair, but today he exuded an air of heroism.
He resembled an unparalleled Sword Immortal.
That transcendent aura was somewhat mesmerizing.
"There have been some changes." Xue Qianbai took a deep breath and then seriously said, "Qinyang, I’ve come this time to tell you something."
"Alright, I also have something I want to tell you." Qinyang smiled happily, clearly something made her very pleased.
"Then Qinyang, you go first," Xue Qianbai suggested.
"Alright." Qinyang also didn’t stand on ceremony: "I just haven’t had anyone to share this with, and it’s really great that you could come at this time, I want you to be the first to know."
However, at this moment, a commotion arose from downstairs: "You can’t go up there."
"Get out of the way, why can’t I go up?"
A somewhat cold voice echoed, followed by a few guards being pushed aside, and two people ascended.
Leading them was a young master.
Clad in blue attire, with a water-blue sword at his waist, followed by an elder with silver hair, this elder’s presence was both weighty and imposing, making it hard for people to meet his gaze!
"Princess Qinyang."
Mo Jingxin approached, speaking with a smile.
"Young Master Mo, isn’t this rather impolite? I am entertaining guests here, who allowed you to come up?"
Qinyang’s expression turned somewhat grim.
"Entertaining guests?"
Mo Jingxin glanced at Xue Qianbai and sneered, "Is it this pretty face? Qinyang, I didn’t expect your taste to be so poor."
"You are not allowed to speak of Ah Xue in such a manner. He is my friend," Qinyang retorted angrily. "Now please leave immediately."
"The Eldest Princess of the Qinyang dynasty is indeed quite imposing!" Mo Jingxin said nothing, but the elder behind him spoke indifferently: "If it weren’t for the support of us at Ming Divine Palace, do you think it would be so easy for you to wield power? Do you think your Qinyang dynasty would still exist? Now that you think your wings are strong, you want to cast us aside?"
"Who are you?"
Princess Qinyang evidently hadn’t seen this person before.
"Elder Hong, Qinyang doesn’t mean it like that." Mo Jingxin spoke nonchalantly.
"Mo Hong?"
Qinyang was somewhat surprised. The man in front of her was one of the three Grandmasters of the Ming Divine Palace, rumored to be the most likely to reach the Great Martial Sect within ten years, holding unparalleled authority in the Ming Divine Palace.
Qinyang took a deep breath and said, "Elder Mo Hong, you really misunderstood, I didn’t mean it like that."
"Princess Qinyang, you should know that our Ming Divine Palace can help you reach your current position, and likewise, we can bring you down. You must realize that you are not the only one we are in contact with, there are other princes as well. Our Ming Divine Palace can easily choose them and gain even greater benefits; it’s just that young Jingxin here is deeply infatuated with you and insists on supporting you."
Mo Hong glanced at Xue Qianbai standing behind Qinyang, frowning as he couldn’t sense any aura from Xue Qianbai, but he felt that Xue Qianbai looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
But the impression was not clear.
Mo Hong’s words made Qinyang’s face harden, as she naturally understood what they implied.
"Is the Ming Divine Palace that powerful?"
At this time, Xue Qianbai stepped forward and stared at Mo Hong and Mo Jingxin, saying, "Now, get lost obediently, continue supporting Qinyang. If you switch sides to other princes or entertain any improper thoughts..."
"Your Ming Divine Palace would have no reason to exist."
Xue Qianbai’s tone was very cold.
"Who do you think you are!" Mo Jingxin couldn’t help but become furious. Who is this pretty face to actually threaten the Ming Divine Palace?
"Ah Xue?" Qinyang was also surprised. The usually quiet Ah Xue had actually said such words.
