Royal Capital's Number One Genius

"I'm looking for him for a very important reason!"

Nan Yu Xin said as a matter of course, her pretty face full of excitement, her big eyes constantly scanning the first floor, trying to find that Young Master Jun.

The innkeeper said with difficulty, "Do you have an appointment with Young Master Jun? If so, please wait here."

Nan Yu Xin was famously spoiled and willful. She was probably looking for Young Master Jun to spar, but he couldn't directly drive her away. After all, she had a powerful father.

"Just tell me which room he's staying in!"

Nan Yu Xin walked to the counter and said with a playful smile, but her sly grin clearly carried a threat.

The innkeeper felt even more troubled. Putting aside his goodwill towards Qin Jun, if he revealed Qin Jun's information, Luoya Inn's reputation would be ruined.

"Hmph!"

Just then, a cold snort came from the corridor on the third floor. Nan Yu Xin looked up and saw a young man in white walking down. The young man wore a white veil, revealing only his eyes. It was Qin Jun.

This white veil was borrowed from Daji.

Nan Yu Xin's eyes lit up. Qin Jun, with the white veil, was incredibly dashing. Because he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, his skin was fair, his eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and he carried himself with an imposing and elegant demeanor as he walked, truly embodying the image of a refined young master.

Nan Yu Xin, still in her youthful prime, felt something bloom and bear fruit in her heart the moment she saw him, her heartbeat quickening.

Ever since she heard about Young Master Jun's deeds, she had developed a strong interest in him. Not many people in the Royal Capital could suppress the Fifth Prince.

Although the Fifth Prince Qin Yu was also graceful, he was not a good person, and Nan Yu Xin disliked him intensely. Furthermore, Qin Yu often proposed marriage to Nan Meng, which made her detest Qin Yu even more. Therefore, when she heard that someone had made Qin Yu a laughingstock, she couldn't stop smiling.

For some inexplicable reason, she developed a vague fantasy about Young Master Jun, which was largely thanks to the embellishments of those who liked to gossip about Qin Jun.

Now, Nan Yu Xin was very satisfied with her first glance at Qin Jun; he was exactly as she had imagined Young Master Jun to be.

He looked as if he had stepped out of a painting.

"You are Young Master Jun?" Nan Yu Xin asked, her eyes shining with surprise as she studied Qin Jun.

Qin Jun remained silent and walked down leisurely. With his back to Nan Yu Xin, he said in a deep voice, "Princess Nan, is there something you need?"

The surrounding guests were all curious. Why was Qin Jun wearing a veil today?

"You know me?" Nan Yu Xin asked in surprise, but then she thought, her father was the Great General of the Nation, so many people knew her identity.

Qin Jun did not answer, nor did he turn to look at her, lest she recognize him.

This demeanor, however, was perceived as aloofness by Nan Yu Xin. Instead of being angered, she became even more curious.

If it were anyone else who knew her identity, they would surely be terrified. Few dared to be as cold as Qin Jun, and she had never met anyone her age like him.

"Let's have a spar!"

Nan Yu Xin said excitedly. As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped forward, her body half-turned, and her right palm struck out from behind her, aiming for Qin Jun's back.

Although Qin Jun's foundation was unstable, he was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm. How could he be harmed by a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm? He quickly turned around and his left hand lightning-fastly grabbed Nan Yu Xin's wrist, instantly stopping her forward momentum.

"So fast!"

Nan Yu Xin's pupils contracted. Qin Jun's turning speed was so fast that even her eyes couldn't capture it.

She instinctively tried to break free from Qin Jun's grip, but her right hand couldn't be pulled out of his left hand at all, as if it were caught in a vice.

"Let go of me!" Nan Yu Xin glared and shouted. Being held by the wrist by Qin Jun, her heart beat even faster, and her cheeks flushed slightly, after all, this was happening in front of everyone.

Qin Jun casually flicked his wrist, and Nan Yu Xin's body was sent uncontrollably backward. She took seven consecutive steps back, crashing into the counter.

The innkeeper couldn't help but rub his forehead. He couldn't afford to offend Nan Yu Xin, nor could he afford to offend Qin Jun. Seeing the two of them arguing, he could only watch helplessly.

"Princess Nan, this is Luoya Inn. Please don't break the rules here and don't act recklessly just because of your father's status," Qin Jun said coldly, turning his back to Nan Yu Xin. He deliberately deepened his voice, so fortunately, Nan Yu Xin couldn't discern his true identity for the moment.

Upon hearing this, Nan Yu Xin felt a surge of unprovoked anger. She clenched her fists, straightened her body, and gritted her teeth, "When did I act recklessly?"

"Heh heh!"

"..."

Looking at Qin Jun's retreating back, Nan Yu Xin suddenly felt a little wronged. She subconsciously looked around and found that the inn's guests were looking at her with fear, which made her feel a little awkward.

"Then shall we go outside to talk?" Nan Yu Xin suggested.

Now it was Qin Jun's turn to be speechless. Sister, are we that close?

Nan Yu Xin seemed to guess Qin Jun's thoughts and quickly explained, "I'm just curious about what kind of person Young Master Jun is. The expert who couldn't even subdue Qin Yu was subdued by you."

Qin Jun said impatiently, "You are no match for me, leave quickly!"

The surrounding guests couldn't help but exclaim. He dared to drive away even the spoiled Princess Nan. It was true that like master, like subordinate. Guan Yu didn't show respect to the Fifth Prince, and Qin Jun didn't show respect to Nan Yu Xin either.

Nan Yu Xin trembled with anger, pointing at Qin Jun with her slender finger for a long time before she could speak. Finally, she let out a cold snort and turned to leave.

Four attendants glanced at Qin Jun curiously and quickly followed her. It was the first time they had seen someone dare to show such disrespect to Nan Yu Xin.

And it was a young man of the same age.

After Nan Yu Xin left, Qin Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his actions today would only make Nan Yu Xin pester him until she defeated him. However, he didn't care.

Because there were only three days left until the martial arts competition between the two countries, he would stand out in the open and reclaim his position as a prince.

Shaking his head, Qin Jun walked to an empty small table.

"Well done, Young Master Jun! You're amazing, not even giving Princess Nan any face!"

"Princess Nan is too spoiled. She didn't show Young Master Jun any respect, so why should Young Master Jun show her any?"

"Tsk, with Princess Nan's personality, she definitely won't let this go!"

"But I feel like Princess Nan is interested in Young Master Jun?"

"Haha! If this gets out, it'll surely enrage the Fifth Prince."

The surrounding guests chuckled and chatted. Qin Jun merely shook his head and smiled, unaware that within half a day, gossip about Princess Nan's favor towards him would spread like wildfire.

It had to be said, cultivators were also gossipy.

Of course, their gossip was only directed at the strong; they had no interest in discussing the weak.

In just a few short days, the name "Young Master Jun" resounded throughout the entire Royal Capital, even becoming known as the Royal Capital's number one prodigy.

With the upcoming inter-kingdom competition, more and more cultivators were arriving in the Royal Capital, with even the three major sects sending people to observe.

The inter-kingdom competition would feature the strongest combatants, at least Golden Core Realm experts. Nan Meng was even at the Mortal Transformation Realm. Such a grand battle would naturally attract forces from all sides.

One could learn a lot just by watching!
