The Imperial City.
Princess Manor.
At this moment, five figures were sitting in the main hall of the Princess Manor. These five people had powerful and profound auras, and each of them was no ordinary person. Their strength was extremely powerful. However, one of them was actually the white-robed young man that Li Changfeng had bumped into earlier!
He smiled faintly, "Princess Minmin! It seems one person is missing! What? Didn't he invite you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's expression turned slightly grim, and he sighed, "Zhang Xuandao! I don't know why he didn't come! I already told him before, and he promised to come back! I guess something got in the way!"
A young man dressed in green and black brocade robes sneered, "You don't think you're too weak to come, do you?"
Princess Minmin said coldly, "Ouyang Duha! He's not that kind of person! You're no match for him, let alone say you wouldn't dare to come!"
Ouyang Duha's face turned cold upon hearing this. "Things are different now! I've improved a lot over the years! Even you might not be my match, let alone that unknown junior! I guess that's all he can do, which is why he doesn't dare to come!"
Princess Minmin scoffed upon hearing this, "Are you saying you're the only one who's improved a lot? My strength has also improved considerably. If we were to really fight, I could defeat you just as well!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Duha sneered, "You're so protective of him! Could it be that he's your lover?"
Princess Minmin was furious upon hearing this, "You're asking for death!"
After saying that, Princess Minmin immediately made her move, gathering a surge of violent true energy in her palm and slamming it down hard towards Ouyang Duha. Upon seeing this, Ouyang Duha sneered, "Do I need to be afraid of you?"
Suddenly, Ouyang Duha made a move, his palm also gathering a stream of green, highly poisonous true energy, and slammed it towards Princess Minmin, taking the fierce blow head-on!
At this moment, Zhang Xuandao smiled wryly, "Why get angry! The competition hasn't even started yet! And they've already started fighting!"
After saying that, he suddenly made a move, gently patting his palm to try to block Princess Minmin's attack. However, a young man with a cold face and holding a single knife also suddenly made a move, slapping his palm to block Ouyang Duha's attack!
"Bang!" "Bang!"...
Two loud clashing sounds rang out as Zhang Xuandao and the indifferent man each blocked their attacks, advising, "Stop fighting! It hasn't even started yet! Why are you fighting all the time! Princess, you haven't served me my food yet! Ever since I ate the food from your palace last time, I've been craving it!"
The indifferent man slowly said, "Don't break the rules! The time isn't right yet! Save your energy for when we have our final battle!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuandao smiled faintly and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you very much for your help, Brother Leng Xue! Otherwise, things would have been very difficult!"
Leng Xue shook his head upon hearing this, "With your strength, it's not difficult for you to hold off the two of them!"
Zhang Xuandao chuckled upon hearing this and fell silent. A young monk then slowly stepped forward and calmly said, "Amitabha! Actually, I also want to see just how strong the strongest disciple of the Southern Shaolin really is! Waiting a bit won't hurt!"
Zhang Xuandao chuckled upon hearing this, "Is that right! Buddha Child! You and I think the same way! Isn't it good to have such a powerful figure appear?"
Upon hearing this Ouyang Duha snorted coldly, "Since you've all made your decision, what else can I say? I can only wait!"
Zhang Xuandao's gaze slowly fell on Princess Minmin, and he smiled, "Princess Minmin! Since Brother Li hasn't arrived yet, how about we eat something first?"
Princess Minmin glanced at him helplessly upon hearing this, "Fine, fine! You big glutton!"
Upon hearing this, the Buddha Child frowned. "Does your Zhenwu Taoist Sect not have anything good to eat?"
Zhang Xuandao glanced at the Buddha Child and sighed, "You don't understand! We Daoists emphasize purity of mind and few desires! The food we eat is very plain. I've lived there for so long, it's become so bland!"
Upon hearing this, the Buddha Child smiled faintly, "Since you've put it that way, Daoist, then I'd also like to try the imperial cuisine!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Xue slowly said, "I don't care! As long as I can put it in my mouth!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuandao shook his head. "Brother Leng! How can you be like this! Is it really okay to be so indifferent? You'll miss out on so many wonderful things!"
Leng Xue frowned upon hearing this. "Brother Zhang! You're talking too much..."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Duha curled his lip, "This kid is not only a glutton, but also a chatterbox!"
Suddenly, Princess Minmin had a flash of inspiration and asked with a smile, "Do you know about the ruins of the Free and Unfettered Sect?"
Everyone nodded upon hearing this. "Of course we know! It's been all over the place lately!"
Ouyang Duha laughed even harder, "What? Princess Minmin! Is your inheritance not good enough? Where do you want to get that Unrated inheritance from the Free and Unfettered Sect?"
Princess Minmin's face immediately darkened upon hearing this. "Don't twist my words, okay? What I mean is, we can go there together for some training, have a competition, and see who can obtain the inheritance wins. How about that?"
Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Great! This is a good way to play. In previous years, it was just individual competitions, which was really boring. It's much better to have a large group of people playing together!"
Zhang Xuandao glanced deeply at Princess Minmin and said, "Brother Li wouldn't happen to be there too, would he?"
Princess Minmin smiled slightly upon hearing this, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you! Knowing that boy as I do, he wouldn't miss something like this!"
Zhang Xuandao nodded upon hearing this, "What a perfect solution! You're brilliant, Princess Minmin!"
Princess Minmin smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "You flatter me, Zhang Xuandao!"
At this moment, a group of maids walked in from outside the hall, carrying platters of delicious food. The aroma immediately caught everyone's eye, and Zhang Xuandao swallowed hard, shouting, "They're here! They're here! I've been waiting for you for so long!!"
Princess Minmin smiled helplessly upon hearing this, "Zhang Xuandao! Since you like to eat so much, just come find me if you want to eat it in the future!"
Zhang Xuandao's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Is this really true?"
"Heh! Would I, a Princess, lie to you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuandao hesitated for a moment, then exclaimed, "No! No! I must suppress my craving for this delicious treat! Only then can I savor it to the fullest extent!"
