The third princess's condition for meeting

Longwind Capital.

Inside the magnificent Imperial Palace.

"..."

Shao Chengyun, the official in charge of receiving Ye Li, came straight here after leaving the Great Clarity Treasure Ship.

They headed straight for the Third Princess's residence.

After being led into the courtyard by Maid, he calmed his breathing slightly and bowed to Qin Mingqi below the hall, saying:

"Your Highness, the Supreme Clarity Palace Son has arrived in the capital!"

"They're here?!"

Qin Mingqi put down the Jade Slip in his hand, immediately sat up straight, and asked curiously:

Have you met him in person? What did you think of him?

Shao Chengyun was about to report Ye Li's request when he was taken aback by what he heard.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Qin Mingqi impatiently added:

"I'm asking if he looks the same as in the photo? And how much of what he said is true?"

"... Your Highness, the appearance is indeed identical to the photograph."

Recalling their earlier meeting, Shao Chengyun's expression became more serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"As for cultivation level, I cannot see through it."

"But standing in front of him, I did feel a sense of suffocation, as if I were facing True Person."

"In my humble opinion, most of the rumors are true, and coupled with their unfathomable supernatural Divine Ability, they are absolutely comparable to the True Person of various schools!"

"..."

Bai Jingshan, who was standing nearby, listened with a flicker in his eyes, stroked his beard, and remained silent.

Qin Mingqi, however, became more and more satisfied as she listened.

She had previously wondered if Ye Li, who was able to kill True Person at such a young age, might possess an unconcealable arrogance.

Now it sounds better than I expected.

She glanced down at her clothes, already making plans in her mind.

Isn't that gilded palace dress a bit too formal?

He changed back into the newly made light pink dress; even Grandpa Bai said that outfit made him look more approachable...

"Your Highness, there is one more thing."

Shao Chengyun's urgent voice interrupted her thoughts:

Palace Heir Ye said he would see Qin Baiyi tonight.

"Tonight?"

Qin Mingqi frowned slightly and said:

"Why the rush? Haven't we already arranged Imperial Palace for him?"

"As I've already said, it's just that..."

Shao Chengyun lowered his head even further and forced himself to say:

"That Palace Heir Ye also said that if he doesn't see the person tonight, he'll have to bear the consequences."

"... What?"

The smile on Qin Mingqi's face vanished instantly.

She stared at the Reception Envoy in front of her, momentarily doubting whether she had misheard, and couldn't help but ask again:

"Are these his exact words?"

"Yes."

"Presumptuous!"

Qin Mingqi slammed the Jade Slip heavily on the table and angrily said:

"What does he think this place is?!"

"What have I done wrong to Qin Baiyi? Her medicine, her lodging... everything has been arranged to be of the highest quality!"

"He's only just arrived in the capital, and he's already saying such things to me? Won't this cause chaos in the future?!"

Shao Chengyun lowered his head, completely unwilling to respond to such a remark.

Qin Mingqi's chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.

She was still picking out clothes to see him, and this guy, on the other hand, immediately told her to face the consequences!

What happened to the Supreme Clarity Palace Son again?

Is that so great?!

She's also the third princess of the Longwind Divine Dynasty!!

The courtyard fell silent for a moment.

After Qin Mingqi calmed down a bit, Shao Chengyun cautiously asked:

"Then, according to Your Highness's wishes... how should this humble official reply?"

"I..."

Qin Mingqi was about to speak, but then hesitated.

She turned her head and looked at Bai Jingshan.

The old man in Baiyi stroked his beard, remained silent for a moment, and slowly said:

"Just agree to it."

"It would be of no benefit to Your Highness to antagonize him now."

Qin Mingqi frowned and muttered, "But he was far too impolite to me..."

"If Your Highness wants to recruit him, you must first make concessions."

Bai Jingshan said in a normal tone:

Let him do it for now.

"Besides, Qin Baiyi's parents are still in our hands. He is a sentimental person and even if he sees Ye Li, he will not be willing to leave his parents alone."

"With this concern in mind, Your Highness, are you worried they'll leave as soon as they meet?"

"... OK!"

Qin Mingqi breathed a sigh of relief and finally looked at Shao Chengyun again:

"Then I will host a banquet at my residence tonight so that he may meet Qin Baiyi."

Shao Chengyun had just breathed a sigh of relief when she added:

"However, he must also agree to one condition of mine."

"Spend the day with me tomorrow."

"Wherever you go, you must follow me."

Bai Jingshan frowned slightly, glanced at her, then relaxed again, without saying anything to stop her.

Shao Chengyun didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly bowed, saying:

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness. I will go and deliver the message immediately."

Wait until he leaves.

Qin Mingqi stared at the courtyard gate for a while, then suddenly asked somewhat uneasily:

"Old Bai, isn't this a bit too hasty?"

"When I left Qin Baiyi behind, my Father Emperor even praised me, saying that I had handled the matter well."

"Now that Ye Li just casually mentioned it, I've agreed to let them meet... Won't Father Emperor be unhappy if he finds out?"

Bai Jingshan shook his head upon hearing this:

"Your Highness, you detained Qin Baiyi precisely to invite Ye Li over."

"Now that he's here, continuing to make things difficult for him will only make things worse."

Seeing that Qin Mingqi was still pondering, he smiled and said:

"Judging from those rumors, this person is too straightforward."

"Since His Highness is willing to grant his request, he can naturally see His Highness's sincerity."

"Moreover, this would also allow me to spend a day alone with him."

"What can't we talk about calmly when the time comes? If we get along well, feelings will naturally develop."

Qin Mingqi's expression softened as she listened.

That's true.

Since he had already agreed, Ye Li couldn't very well give her a hard time when they met.

She gave a soft hum, stood up, and brushed her dress aside.

"Then it's settled. I'll go get ready."

She had kept this a secret until now.

The news from the Qin family was delivered directly to her through pre-arranged personnel, preventing her elder brother and sister from getting there first.

Ye Li has now arrived in the Capital City.

If we can settle things tonight, they will have no room to interfere later!

Thinking about this...

A bright smile returned to Qin Mingqi's face, and she said with considerable pride:

"Those previous arrangements weren't in vain."

"This time I'm finally ahead of them!"

Bai Jingshan nodded with a smile:

"Very well, Your Highness, please prepare with peace of mind."
