Princess Nan

Where there are people, there is the martial world!

The cultivator circle is an even larger martial world. The events at Luoya Inn seemed to sprout legs and run all over the Royal Capital. First, a mysterious expert disrespected the Fifth Prince, then a Young Master Jun appeared and subdued this mysterious expert, and then Young Master Jun actually had a genius youth with a Sacred Spirit Root under his command.

This news was incredibly explosive, causing cultivators throughout the city to discuss it animatedly. Young Master Jun's name became famous overnight.

The cultivators' idle chatter mostly revolved around Young Master Jun. Furthermore, with the recent kingdom competition, many cultivators from outside the city had gathered in the Royal Capital, making Young Master Jun's identity even more mysterious and noted by various sects and families.

As for Guan Yu, through the cultivators' word-of-mouth, he had already become a terrifying existence, akin to a ferocious demon.

Fortunately, although the Gan Yue Kingdom belonged to the righteous path, they were not so stubborn as to surround and suppress someone just based on rumors.

The day after the incident.

Yu King's Palace, this was the residence of the Fifth Prince Qin Yu.

Close to the Imperial Palace, among the many princes, only Qin Yu was granted a king's palace, which was of extraordinary significance.

At this moment, Qin Yu sat in his study with a dark expression. Standing before him were the Blood Saber King and a man in black. This man in black even wore a black scarf that covered most of his face, like a shadow.

"How is it? Have you found out the origin of that Young Master Jun?" Qin Yu asked, hands clasped behind his back, his voice deep.

He desperately wanted to obtain Guan Yu. When he heard that Guan Yu had pledged allegiance to that mysterious Young Master Jun, he almost spat blood from anger.

Invisibly, he was already a step below Young Master Jun because of Guan Yu.

Guan Yu, who had snubbed him, turned around and pledged allegiance to Young Master Jun – it was a blatant slap in the face.

It was said that Young Master Jun looked as young as he did.

"We haven't found anything. He appeared as if out of thin air. Even the city guards have no record of his information," the man in black said in a low voice. As he spoke, he took out a portrait from his Storage Ring and handed it to Qin Yu, stating, "This is a portrait of Young Master Jun's appearance, drawn by a diner at Luoya Inn."

Qin Yu pulled it open and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

If Qin Jun saw this, he would definitely burst out laughing.

Damn it, besides the general facial features, what else can you tell from this?

It could fit any young master.

Qin Yu couldn't see any trace of Qin Jun in this portrait. He put away the portrait, looked up, and said, "You must continue to investigate Young Master Jun's information!"

"There are only three days left until the kingdom competition. Everything else must be postponed," Qin Yu said sternly, his gaze fixed on the Blood Saber King, causing the Blood Saber Guard to break out in a cold sweat.

The Blood Saber Guard appeared cool and ruthless, but he had a penchant for bullying common women. If not for his formidable strength and his ability to train the Blood Saber Guard, Qin Yu would have gotten rid of him long ago.

"Alright, you may leave!"

Qin Yu waved his hand, and the Blood Saber King and the man in black quickly left the study.

Returning to his desk, Qin Yu's brow remained furrowed. He looked at the "List of Envoys from Cang Lan Kingdom" on his desk, lost in thought for a long time.

"This time, the Gan Yue Kingdom is in big trouble."

On this 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 through the door, he could tell who was outside.

Upon entering, he saw Guan Yu sitting at the table, drinking tea. Qin Jun closed the door and grinned at him, "Second Master, I've shamelessly brought San'er with me. I hope you can teach him a wind-attribute cultivation technique."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and shook his head, "I already promised Your Highness yesterday, and this is the first time I've seen a genius with a Sacred Spirit Root."

Although he didn't understand why Qin Jun called him Second Master, he felt quite pleased. At least it was a term of respect.

"By the way, Second Master, what is a Spirit Root? I always hear cultivators say you need a Spirit Root to cultivate." Qin Jun asked curiously. His previous self was uneducated, and Qin Jun himself had only transmigrated here for a month. Daji and the Howling Celestial Dog were demons, so he was ignorant of many common knowledge points for human cultivators.

Guan Yu looked at him strangely and said, "A Spirit Root actually refers to a Qi Cultivation attribute. For example, this young man has Wind Spirit Root potential, which essentially means he has a wind attribute."

Pfft—

Qin Jun's face turned red. Sweat, so it's just an attribute. I thought a Spirit Root was some kind of actual root.

Afterward, Qin Jun asked Guan Yu about some problems he encountered during his cultivation. Guan Yu patiently answered each one. After asking five questions, Qin Jun felt it was time to leave and gave Guan Yu and Yan San their space.

After leaving the room, Qin Jun didn't return to his own. He felt bored and wanted to go downstairs for some wine to relax.

At the same time, an uninvited guest arrived at Luoya Inn.

"Where is Young Master Jun? Where is he? Bring him out so this young lady can see him!"

A clear, melodious female voice, like that of an oriole, entered Luoya Inn. A young girl in yellow walked in, followed by four guards at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The girl had delicate features. Although her figure wasn't tall, she appeared nimble and petite. Her large, lively eyes had long eyelashes that fluttered, filled with a cunning glint. Her small mouth, like a cherry, was pursed high, the curve enough to hang a coat hanger.

When she entered, the people in the inn didn't show looks of admiration, but rather helplessness and apprehension.

Although the girl was pretty, her status was extraordinary. No one dared to touch even a single hair on her head.

This was because her name was Nan Yu Xin.

Her father was a pivotal figure in the Royal Capital and even the entire kingdom – the Great General of the Nation, Nan Meng, a Mortal Transformation Realm expert. Although he had just entered the first layer, he was absolutely the kingdom's top fighting force. As for the Mortal Transformation Realm experts of the three great sects, they usually didn't concern themselves with state affairs unless the Gan Yue Kingdom was on the brink of annihilation.

The innkeeper's head began to ache as soon as he saw the excited Nan Yu Xin.

Why has this troublesome young lady come here?

"Where is Young Master Jun? Where is he?" Nan Yu Xin shouted excitedly, as if she were about to fight him.

Qin Jun, who had just walked to the corner of the building, saw Nan Yu Xin at a glance and quickly retreated in fright.

Although his previous self was notorious as a dandy in the Royal Capital, there was one person he feared the most: Nan Yu Xin.

As the Great General's daughter, Nan Yu Xin had excellent Qi Cultivation talent. By fifteen, she had reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm. Few among the younger generation could suppress her, and it was clear that Qin Jun's previous self was not one of them.

Because his previous self often bullied people, Nan Yu Xin would beat him up every time they met. Of course, the engagement was definitely a factor.

How could Nan Yu Xin tolerate marrying a good-for-nothing, even if he was a Prince? Thus, every time the two met, Qin Jun's previous self would be beaten black and blue.

His previous self had tried to complain to the Emperor, but was instead severely scolded. After all, it was too embarrassing to not even be able to defeat his own wife.

Qin Jun believed that if he walked out now, he would definitely be recognized by Nan Yu Xin.

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

"Princess Nan, what do you need Young Master Jun for?" the innkeeper asked with a headache. Although Nan Yu Xin was not of royal blood, she had been adopted as a goddaughter by the Empress due to her father Nan Meng's influence, granting her the title of Princess.

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

Feeling the comment section gradually gaining traction... no longer a solo act, he felt relieved, haha.
