In the simply decorated study, the True Spirit Mansion Master sighed softly, erasing the last trace of worry from his heart.
At this point, even if he worries, it won't do any good.
Now, all they can rely on is Wang Xiao.
Although Lin Xuan's strength was lacking, he was still a member of the Primordial Holy Heaven.
Like the Emotion-Extinguishing Sword Sect, the Primordial Holy Heaven is also a force with the Saint Realm expert in charge. In addition, Lin Xuan is the head of the academy. Although the True Spirit Mansion Master does not think Lin Xuan can be of any use, he does not intend to humiliate him.
Just be polite.
I don't provoke, I don't anger, and I don't care.
That should do it.
With the chaotic thoughts in his mind calming down, the True Spirit Mansion Master gently rubbed his temples, got up, and prepared to leave the study.
But as soon as he opened the door and stepped out, he saw a servant from the Prince's mansion rushing over, his eyes filled with fear.
The True Spirit Mansion Master couldn't help but frown.
Why are you in such a panic?
He spoke softly, and the servant quickened his pace, approaching him and panting heavily as he whispered, "Master... Master, someone from the Princess's residence has arrived!"
What!?
The True Spirit Mansion Master's expression immediately changed, filled with disbelief and astonishment.
Princess's Residence?
In the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, there was only one person who could be called a princess.
It was Princess Muxue!
However, his True Spirit Prince's Mansion didn't belong to any power, and neither princes nor princesses looked down on him. Why would someone from the princess's side suddenly come knocking on his door at this time?
Recalling the news he had received that two Late Saint Realm under the Eldest Imperial Prince had perished, the True Spirit Mansion Master's brow twitched involuntarily.
He couldn't help but curse under his breath again.
These are turbulent times!
These are truly turbulent times!
Hopefully, the people in the princess's residence won't be too difficult to please...
"Where is he? Do you know what happened?" Despite his racing thoughts, the True Spirit Mansion Master remained calm and asked in a cold voice.
However, you've asked the wrong person.
The servant, who was merely a messenger, shook his head blankly and whispered, "The distinguished guests didn't say anything, but they have already been ushered into the main hall."
The Princess's residence has sent someone; the True Spirit Prince's Mansion cannot simply leave them waiting.
The True Spirit Mansion Master took a deep breath and flicked his sleeve. "Go, take me there, and greet him immediately."
The True Spirit Mansion Master moved swiftly, his heart filled with a mixture of fear and excitement.
His imagination was born with every step he took.
if...
He meant if!
If he could curry favor with the Princess's Mansion at this Mansion Competition, their True Spirit Prince's Mansion's situation would be much better!
At least, I don't have to worry about Wang Xiao as much anymore.
If Wang Xiao doesn't properly complete the competition he agreed to, the Princess's Mansion, as the backer of the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Mansion, will become a force to coerce the other party, and he won't have to worry about it every day anymore.
and!
Even if something unexpected happens in this Mansion Competition, and Wang Xiao fails to retain the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's status, causing them to regretfully lose the Mansion Competition, it doesn't matter.
As long as they belong to the princess's residence, no force will dare to act rashly in the princess's presence.
The more the True Spirit Mansion Master thought about it, the more excited he became, but he also knew that he was thinking about things that had nothing to do with reality. He quickly took a deep breath and told himself not to get too excited, because everything was still unfinished.
But he couldn't resist walking briskly into the main hall.
Inside the main hall, a middle-aged man sat at the head of the left-hand side, his eyes lowered. He took a sip of tea, but paused for a moment, shook his head imperceptibly, and placed the teacup on the table.
This tea isn't even as good as the one he drinks.
The True Spirit Prince's Mansion has indeed fallen into disrepair.
He had no interest in drinking tea. Hearing the noise, he subconsciously looked outside and saw a man who looked somewhat tired walking in from outside the main hall, his eyes filled with excitement.
The other person hurriedly walked up to him, bowed without hesitation, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply.
" Xia Qingshan, Lord of the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Palace, greets Commander Liu!"
The True Spirit Mansion Master's heart was stirred with turmoil upon seeing this middle-aged man.
Liu Kuo!
It was him!
Commander Liu, also known as Liu Kuo, is a veteran Saint Realm expert from the Princess's Mansion. He has made a name for himself in the Taiyu Divine Dynasty. He has been protecting the Princess since her birth, and it can be said that he is an absolute member of the Princess's inner circle.
Logically speaking, the True Spirit Mansion Master, being the lord of a royal palace, should not bow to a commander.
But circumstances are beyond our control.
Although the Taiyu Divine Dynasty is a dynastic system, it also follows the principle of respecting the strong, and the power and supremacy of the royal family are deliberately emphasized. Even if the other party is just a commander, he is still the princess's commander and the one who acts on behalf of the princess!
Not to mention that the opponent is a Saint Realm with extremely high strength!
The True Spirit Mansion Master was well aware of this.
The two commanders beside the princess do nothing but protect her.
Since the other party is here, it means... it's very likely an order from the princess!
His True Spirit Prince's Mansion had declined and was even on the verge of disbanding, so he had no choice but to worship.
However, at the same time, the True Spirit Mansion Master's heart was also filled with trepidation and unease.
He had originally thought that this time, he might have a chance to curry favor with the princess's household.
But when he saw this person appear, he felt a little uncertain.
Even if they wanted to win over the True Spirit Prince's Mansion, there was no need for such a powerful figure to come knocking on their door.
Commander Liu is a powerful expert at the Late Saint Realm!
Even at the height of the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Mansion, he could only look up to the other's existence.
strangeness...
What on earth will come for me?
The True Spirit Mansion Master was secretly pondering something, unaware that Commander Liu was also sizing him up.
Is this the Lord of the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Palace?
Commander Liu showed no extra emotion on his face. He waved his hand, using his Spiritual Power to lift up the True Spirit Prince's Mansion Master, preventing him from actually bowing down.
"You're too kind, Your Highness. There's no need for that."
As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on Commander Liu's face.
Their attitude was exceptionally friendly.
This caused the True Spirit Mansion Master to be shaken once again.
He couldn't help but freeze for a moment, and after sitting down in the main seat, half-declining and half-bewildered, he was still in a daze.
I was truly taken aback by Commander Liu's warm and friendly attitude.
Commander Liu didn't care what the other party thought. He smiled lightly and said, " Mansion Master Xia, I have come to pay a visit on the orders of the princess."
"The princess instructed me to convey to Mansion Master Xia that the True Spirit Prince's Mansion hasn't visited the capital for quite some time. After all, your True Spirit Prince's Mansion is one of the sixteen palaces of our Taiyu Divine Dynasty. We would like to invite Mansion Master Xia to visit the capital more often in the future."
"Princess, I've heard that your True Spirit Prince's Mansion True Spirit Prince's Mansion has produced many outstanding talents, and I've long wanted to see them for myself."
As he spoke, Commander Liu looked at the increasingly stunned True Spirit Mansion Master, not at all surprised by the other party's attitude.
If it were him, he would probably be at a loss right now.
He shook his head, not wanting to think about it too much, and spoke again, with a hint of advice. "I heard that a distinguished guest has arrived at your residence. The princess specially sent me with some small gifts. Since he has come from afar, we cannot fail to observe the proper etiquette of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty..."
