The thought of expelling Xia Mengyao from the True Spirit Prince's Mansion made the eyes of the other concubines light up.
This is... absolutely perfect.
Then, a group of concubines began to chatter amongst themselves.
" Yao'er, don't be too sad. Oh dear, someone as capable as Wang Tianjiao, it's your fault for not trusting him..."
"Yes, Yao'er, the helper you invited... Sigh, never mind, as long as Yao'er is happy."
"Sister, you can't say that. Just because Yao'er is happy doesn't mean we should gamble with the reputation of our royal family."
"Yes, Yao'er, you have done a great service in finding the spirit medicine, but your arrogance is..."
Although the literal meaning wasn't offensive, Xia Mengyao wasn't stupid; how could she not understand the contempt and sarcasm hidden beneath their tone?
Her expression instantly turned cold.
Amidst the clamor of a group of beautiful women, the True Spirit Mansion Master slowly frowned.
At that time, he was overjoyed to hear that the Ninth Princess had brought back a sacred medicine that could cure Wang Xiao. He also heard from Xia Mengyao that she wanted to invite someone to participate in the Mansion Competition so that person could help her win the sacred medicine. He thought that the person should have some ability, so it wouldn't hurt to give them a spot.
But he never expected that this would happen.
This is really troublesome...
But giving up on Wang Xiao is absolutely out of the question.
Wang Xiao is a prodigy of Sword Ruins. At a young age, he is already Half-Saint and a sword cultivator, so he can unleash even greater strength.
Even if he wasn't a top-tier prodigy, his strength still placed him among the top young people in the entire Taiyu Imperial Dynasty.
The True Spirit Prince's Mansion must rely on their opponent to secure a ranking and avoid disbanding.
And the person Xia Mengyao invited...
The True Spirit Mansion Master couldn't help but sigh softly to himself.
If he had known, he wouldn't have let his momentary joy cloud his judgment.
Even the strongest people Yao'er knows, could they possibly be stronger than Half-Saint?
This year's Mansion Competition requires that only young people participate.
The age limit is 50 years or younger.
There is Life-Testing Stone; anyone over fifty years old will be immediately identified and disqualified from the competition.
But is it possible to achieve Saint Realm before the age of fifty?
That's absolutely impossible!
Unless they are top-tier geniuses.
But how could the True Spirit Prince's Mansion possibly invite such a person?
Even if he pawned the entire Prince's mansion, he still couldn't summon that kind of monster.
Therefore, Wang Xiao was the best they could possibly hire.
so...
It would be a very unwise choice to anger Wang Xiao over an unknown person.
Their True Spirit Prince's Mansion no longer has Saint Realm expert to oversee it; its strength is weak and it cannot tolerate any disturbance.
In terms of both strength and status, Wang Xiao is no less than him.
If you anger him, not only him, but the entire True Spirit Prince's Mansion will likely suffer the consequences.
but...
Now that things have come to this, and I've already promised to send out the spots, I can't just take them back.
The True Spirit Mansion Master sighed softly.
He slowly spoke, "Alright, Yao'er has rendered meritorious service in entering the Vast Sea Secret Realm this time. The matter of external assistance was something I personally promised her, so there's no need to mention it again."
Then, he looked at Xia Mengyao.
"However, this will not be repeated..."
Xia Mengyao gazed into the other person's eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and a bittersweet feeling welled up inside her.
On what grounds?
Why should she promise not to do it again?
What did she do wrong?
Despite the displeased looks from the concubines, Xia Mengyao suppressed her resentment and slowly lowered her head.
"Yes, Lord."
On the other side.
After several days of flying boat travel, Lin Xuan, accompanied by the Vast Sea Saint King, finally stepped into the interior of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty.
The two of them had just arrived at the Taiyu Divine Dynasty. Looking down from the thick clouds, they were filled with emotion.
From their perspective, they could see that within the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, there were sixteen dragon energies, scattered like stars in sixteen directions.
This aura was completely different from that of ordinary kingdoms, exuding a mysterious aura. The dragon energy was almost tangible, hovering above the capitals of the sixteen divine dynasties, its eyes slightly closed, like a real, existing giant dragon.
Deep within the Divine Dynasty, a vast expanse of purple qi emanated, radiating a profound and inexplicable aura of fortune.
Seeing this, the Vast Sea Saint King, who had once been the ruler of a country, couldn't help but sigh.
"My Vast Sea Divine Dynasty, was in the same situation back then, it's just a pity..."
After the sudden change, everything was destroyed.
Even he himself nearly sank to the bottom and perished in the river of time.
Gazing around, the Vast Sea Saint King's eyes held both nostalgia and regret.
Back then, he had also visited the Taiyu Divine Dynasty and traveled around, but the Taiyu Divine Dynasty was not as powerful then, and its fortune was not as prosperous as it is now.
Tens of thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The world changes.
The world changes.
The fortune of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty has become increasingly powerful.
The once-leading Vast Sea Saint Dynasty has been completely buried and turned into a secret realm accessible to everyone.
As the former ruler of the Vast Sea Saint Dynasty, how could the Vast Sea Saint King not feel regret?
However, he quickly forgot about regretting it.
Whether it was the Vast Sea Saint King or Lin Xuan, both of them, standing at the bow of the ship, suddenly focused their gaze on a mountain below.
The mountain looked unremarkable, but suddenly a surge of Spiritual Qi rose into the sky, its imposing aura radiating a golden hue.
The two exchanged a glance, pulling themselves out of their emotional reverie, and saw the same thought reflected in each other's eyes.
A priceless treasure has been discovered!
The idea came to them instantly, and the two made a decision in a flash.
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan flew downwards, rolled up his sleeve, and the flying boat shrank instantly, disappearing into his sleeve.
This flying boat was a gift from the Demon Saint.
It can freely change shape and size, and has been equipped with many defensive formations, as well as Spirit Gathering Formation. It is considered one of the treasures of the Chongming Bird Clan in the Luo Heaven Domain.
Now that he has given it to Lin Xuan, it is just the right time to use it.
The Vast Sea Saint King naturally followed closely beside Lin Xuan. The two moved with incredible speed, their eyes filled with enthusiasm.
Ordinary things wouldn't catch their eye.
But this suddenly appearing treasure stirred their souls.
Especially the Vast Sea Saint King.
He had just reconstructed his body, and his soul was at its most sensitive. Almost as soon as the Spiritual Qi appeared, he felt the fluctuations in his soul. His soul contracted and expanded, and he could almost feel his soul pulling him, trying to move in that direction.
In an instant, the Vast Sea Saint King was almost certain that it was a supreme treasure related to the divine soul!
Whether it's Lin Ye's ancestor, the Demon Saint waiting for a divine soul treasure to prolong his life, or the Vast Sea Saint King whose strength has only recovered a fraction of his former glory, they all need such treasures at certain times.
When treasures are born, everyone can possess them, but divine treasures are rare and hard to come by.
They won't let this opportunity slip by!
