Chapter 39: Southern Princess

Where there are people, there is a world of jianghu!

The circle of cultivators is an even larger jianghu. The events that took place in the Luoyan Inn seemed to have spread throughout the entire capital like a pair of long legs, first with a mysterious strongman who did not give face to the Fifth Prince, then a young nobleman who subdued this mysterious strongman, and later a genius youth with a holy spirit root under the command of the young nobleman.

These pieces of news were extremely sensational, causing discussions among the cultivators in the entire city. The name of the young nobleman became famous overnight.

The discussions among the cultivators after meals mostly revolved around the young nobleman. In addition, due to the recent disputes between the two countries, many foreign cultivators had gathered in the capital, making the identity of the young nobleman even more mysterious and memorable to the major sects and families.

Through the spread of rumors among the cultivators, Guan Yu had become a terrifying existence, like a demon.

Fortunately, although the Qianyue Kingdom belonged to the righteous path, it was not so stubborn as to believe in rumors and besiege others.

The next day, in the Yù Palace, the palace of the Fifth Prince, Qin Yù.

Close to the imperial palace, among the many princes, only Qin Yù was granted a royal palace, which held extraordinary significance.

At this moment, Qin Yù sat in the study with a gloomy expression. Standing in front of him were the Bloodblade King and a man in black, who even had most of his face covered by a black cloth, resembling a shadow.

"How is it? Have you found out the origin of that young nobleman?" Qin Yù asked in a deep voice, his hands behind his back. He was extremely eager to get hold of Guan Yu. When he heard that Guan Yu had paid homage to that mysterious young nobleman, he was almost infuriated.

Invisible to others, he felt that he had been overshadowed by Guan Yu.

To think that Guan Yu, who had previously snubbed him, would turn around and pay homage to the young nobleman was a slap in the face.

It was said that the young nobleman's appearance was similar to his, and they were of the same age.

"We haven't found out. It's as if he appeared out of thin air, and there's no record of him even at the Chengwei Garrison," the man in black said in a low voice. He took out a portrait from his storage ring and handed it to Qin Yù, saying, "This is a portrait of the young nobleman drawn by a guest at the Luoyan Inn."

Qin Yù looked at it and a pensive expression appeared on his face.

If Qin Yù saw this, he would definitely burst into laughter.

Damn, what can you tell from this portrait other than the general facial features!

Qin Yù couldn't see any resemblance to himself in this portrait. He put away the portrait and said, "You must continue to investigate the information about the young nobleman!"

"And in three days, there will be the dispute between the two countries, and everything must be postponed," Qin Yù said in a deep voice, staring straight at the Bloodblade King, making him break out in a cold sweat.

The Bloodblade King looked fierce, but he loved to oppress the common people. If it weren't for his strong power and his ability to train the Bloodblade guards, Qin Yù would have gotten rid of him long ago.

"Alright, you may leave now!"

Qin Yù waved his hand, and the Bloodblade King and the man in black quickly left the study.

Sitting back at his desk, Qin Yù's brows remained furrowed, and he gazed at the list of envoys from the Canglan Kingdom on the table, unable to regain his composure for a long time.

"This time, the Qianyue Kingdom is in big trouble."

...

On that day, Qin Jun brought Yan San to Guan Yu's room and knocked on the door. Guan Yu's voice came from inside, "Your Highness, please come in."

Even though there was a door between them, he could tell who was outside.

After entering, he saw Guan Yu sitting at the table drinking tea. After closing the door, Qin Jun grinned and said, "Second Young Master, I've shamelessly brought San'er here, hoping that you can teach him the wind attribute cultivation technique."

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I already agreed to Your Highness yesterday, and this is the first time I've seen a holy spirit root genius."

Although he didn't understand why Qin Jun called him Second Young Master, he felt quite pleased.

At least it was a respectful title.

"By the way, Second Young Master, what is a spirit root? I always hear cultivators say that one must have a spirit root to cultivate," Qin Jun curiously asked. He was ignorant of the common knowledge of human cultivators, as he had just transmigrated a month ago, and Daji and the Xingtian Dog were both demons.

Guan Yu looked at him strangely and said, "The spirit root actually refers to the elemental affinity, for example, this kid has the potential for a wind spirit root, which means he has an affinity for the wind attribute."

Pfft—

Qin Jun blushed. He had thought that the spirit root was something real, not just an attribute.

After that, Qin Jun asked Guan Yu about the problems he encountered in cultivation, and Guan Yu patiently answered. After asking five questions in a row, Qin Jun left on his own, leaving the time for Guan Yu and Yan San.

After leaving the room, Qin Jun didn't return to his own room but felt bored and wanted to go downstairs to have a drink.

At the same time, the Luoyan Inn welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Where is the young nobleman? Bring him out and let this lady have a look!"

A clear and ethereal female voice echoed in the Luoyan Inn. A young woman in yellow walked in, followed by four eighth-level Qi Refinement stage guards.

Although the young woman was beautiful, her identity was extraordinary, and no one dared to offend her.

Because her name was Nanyuxin.

Her father, Nanyu Meng, was a prominent figure in the capital and even in the kingdom. He was the Grand General of the State, a Qi Refinement stage expert. Although he had just entered the first stage, he was definitely the most powerful force in the kingdom. As for the Qi Refinement stage experts of the three major sects, they usually did not interfere in national affairs unless the Qianyue Kingdom was on the brink of destruction.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the excited Nan Yuxin, he immediately got a headache.

Why is this lady here?

"Where is Lord Jun? Where is he?" Nan Yuxin exclaimed excitedly, as if she was about to have a big battle with Lord Jun.

Just as he turned the corner, Qin Jun saw Nan Yuxin and quickly stepped back in fear.

Although his predecessor was known as a playboy in the capital, he was most afraid of one person, and that was Nan Yuxin.

As the daughter of the Grand General, Nan Yuxin had excellent talent in cultivating qi. At the age of fifteen, she had reached the seventh level of qi cultivation. Among the younger generation, few could suppress her, obviously not including Qin Jun's predecessor.

Because his predecessor often bullied people, every time Nan Yuxin saw him, she would beat him up. Of course, there must be a reason for the engagement.

How could Nan Yuxin tolerate marrying a waste, even if he was a prince? So every time they met, Qin Jun's predecessor would end up beaten black and blue.

His predecessor tried to complain to the emperor, but was scolded instead. After all, he couldn't even win against his own fiancée, which was really embarrassing.

Qin Jun believed that if he continued, Nan Yuxin would definitely recognize him.

He still had his own plan for a comeback and couldn't afford to reveal his identity prematurely.

"Princess Nan, do you have any business with Lord Jun?" the shopkeeper asked with a headache. Although Nan Yuxin was not of royal blood, she was related to the imperial family through her father, Nan Meng, and was appointed as a princess by the empress.

This move undoubtedly firmly tied Nan Meng and the royal family together.
