Inside the luxurious palace hall, a purple-gold dressed Empress looked unsettled. She was the current Empress Beiya of the Helan Empire. The Helan Empire has always been the Empress' ruler, and this isn't a rare occurrence in the Sword Soul Continent. There are many countries that have the empress's governorship, but usually such countries have one or two auxiliary political kings and a few auxiliary government ministers. Both the Assistant Minister and the Assistant Minister had great power, because men had an advantage over women in political and military fields. At this moment, Queen Beiya was not able to make a decision, because from the young man in front of her, she found out a very bad and unbelievable piece of news.

This young man was naturally Lee Xun. Seeing that Beiya did not believe his and was still hesitating, Lee Xun said, "Your Majesty, this is the truth, I ask Your Majesty to make a decision first. This news must be kept absolutely confidential. I'm guessing you must have a traitor by your side. " Lee Xun was not making this conjecture out of nowhere. Since the Qianye Clan dared to scheme against an empire's royal family, they definitely had to come up with a precise plan.

"Empress, Lee Xun is here on behalf of my Duanmu Clan, please believe his words." Duanmu Ruoxue could also tell that Beiya was hesitating.

But how could Beiya not hesitate? If Lee Xun's news was not true, then his decision would have to offend many people, and after hearing Duanmu Ruoxue's words, Beiya's eyes also gradually became firmer, and said: "Lee Xun, I believe in your words. Thank you for the information you brought, I will secretly arrange it."

Seeing that Beiya believed her, Duanmu Ruoxue, who was originally standing beside her, whispered a few more words into her ear.

Queen Beiya looked at Lee Xun in shock, then asked Duanmu Ruoxue: "Ruoxue, is what you said true?"

Duanmu Ruoxue smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty, how could I dare to kill you for something like that? But you are the only one who knows the secret, it will only be effective at crucial times like this."

Duanmu Ruoxue had naturally told Beiya about how she was able to contend against an Intermediate Heaven Rank expert, causing everyone to be greatly shocked. Of course, it was mostly suspicion, suspicion of Lee Xun's combat ability, suspicion of Lee Xun's age.

She had been the empress for dozens of years, and had long trained herself to be so calm and steady, yet she had lost her composure one after another today. However, she was in front of Lee Xun a lot of strong experts who had lost their composure. After stabilizing her emotions, Queen Beiya said, "Ruoxue, let Xixi stay with you all during this period of time. As long as she's safe, I won't need to worry about anything anymore."

"Alright, but although Lee Xun is here, it's better for us to not reduce the number of guards by Princess Xixi's side."

"I understand your meaning, but it's still the same. The number of guards that are protecting Xixi won't decrease, and if there's a change, it will instead arouse the suspicion of the enemy. This way, after you go out, let Ta Ji take you to see Xixi. I believe she will be very happy to know that she's with you. "

Coming out from the main hall, Duanmu Ruoxue said to a middle-aged man in silver armor: "Uncle Ta Ji, the Empress has requested for you to bring us to the Princess Xixi. Sorry to trouble you."

"Hehe, His Majesty didn't bring her along on a trip today, so she must be extremely angry. "With you here, we should be able to take it less."

With the pagoda leading the way, Duanmu Ruoxue introduced the Princess Xixi to Lee Xun. "The Princess Xixi is the empress's only daughter, and according to the laws of the Helan Empire, the Princess Xixi is the first in line to be the successor. None of the successors pose a threat to her position in the empire, so her status in the empire is very high. The Princess Xixi was very beautiful, lively and multi-talented. She would often participate in some public performances, and was highly respected by the people of the country. However, Her Majesty didn't like her showing her face too much. After all, her safety was too high of a risk. There is also one more point, which is that Princess Xixi will often have a small temper, but that is the person she has her eyes on. If Princess Xixi has a small temper toward you, you should feel honored. "

At this time, Ta Ji turned around and laughed, "Haha, it seems that Miss Ruoxue understands your highness."

Amjad Palace was indeed huge. After walking for more than 20 minutes, the three of them arrived at a beautiful garden. At this moment, a series of bell-like laughter was heard. Looking towards the source of the laughter, there was a young lady dressed in an emerald green outfit shooting an arrow. Beside her, there were six maids cheering and cheering non-stop. At the moment, the Arrow Girl had her back facing Lee Xun, so it was not possible to see her appearance, but just from her slim waist and the graceful posture she was in while drawing her bow, it was possible to imagine her true appearance.

When one of the maids saw Lee Xun and the other two approaching, she warned them, "Princess, the pagoda has arrived in the future, and one of them is Miss Ruoxue."

When the Princess Xixi heard this, he immediately turned around and shot an arrow at the tower foundation. There was nothing that could be said about the sword techniques of the Princess Xixi, but regarding the tower foundation of Human Rank, how could this sort of ordinary bow and arrow hurt him?

Walking up to it, Tuji handed the Feather Arrow over with both hands and said: "Thank you Princess for the arrows."

"Hmph, I don't want to see you today." Princess Xixi was indeed very beautiful. Her face was as delicate as a Barbie doll, but it was very natural and gentle. Although she was slightly angry now, it revealed a kind of noble temperament.

However, after looking at Duanmu Ruoxue, Princess Xixi actually broke out into a smile, ran forward, and passionately hugged Duanmu Ruoxue. Ruoxue, I missed you so much. You being away for so many days has really bored me to death. "

"Hur hur, I missed you a lot too. "Oh right, let me introduce someone to you." Holding Princess Xixi's hand, Duanmu Ruoxue wanted to turn around and introduce Lee Xun to Princess Xixi, but she saw that Lee Xun was staring at him in deep love, and an indescribable feeling flowed out from his face.

Lee Xun was not a person with brains like the worm, and would always have thoughts of indomitable beauty whenever they met each other. Truly speaking, Duanmu Ruoxue did not lose to Princess Xixi in terms of looks and temperament, her slightly mature intellectual beauty was also extremely harmful to males, and could be said to have the upper hand against Princess Xixi. These were all things that only the purest of women with the purest of hearts would have. Lee Xun did not think that there would be a second person like this in this world, and all of the longing he had for Qin Qing immediately gushed out.

Seeing Lee Xun's expression, the surrounding maids all started to laugh. This was the first time they had seen their Princess Xixi lose control because this was not the first time Lee Xun had done so.

"Lee Xun, Lee Xun." Duanmu Ruoxue pulled on Lee Xun's sleeves. At this moment, a feeling emerged in her heart. It was sour, bitter, and a little astringent, so this was jealousy. She thought that she was in no way inferior to Princess Xixi, but she had never let Lee Xun see her in such a way before.

The Princess Xixi looked at Lee Xun with interest. Although he felt that Lee Xun's current state was a little unreasonable, he didn't know why but he couldn't bring himself to get angry.

"Lee Xun."

Duanmu Ruoxue called out again. Only then did Lee Xun react and said, "Princess Xixi, I'm sorry. Seeing you reminded me of a person."

"Oh? "Is that so?" The corners of Princess Xixi's mouth raised slightly, her bright and flawless eyes stared at Lee Xun a few times. Seeing that Lee Xun did not reveal any other special feelings, she said: "If that's the case, I really want to meet her, I wonder if I have the honor?"

"I'm afraid not. Ruoxue, explain the situation with her highness. " Lee Xun did not want to continue this topic, so he did not dare meet Princess Xixi's gaze.

"Xixi, Her Majesty has agreed to allow us to stay in the palace for a period of time."

"Really? Great, great. After you left, I didn't go to the Jiakesi Academy again. I really miss that place now. Princess Xixi was so excited that she jumped up and down, and then jogged away, with a few servants hurriedly chasing after him.

"Miss Ruoxue, Mr. Lee Xun, you two wait here for the princess, I will take my leave first." When he left the palace, with Princess Xixi, he naturally did not need to lead the way.

"Lee Xun, what happened to you just now? Did you fall in love with Princess Xixi at first sight? " At the moment, there was only Lee Xun and himself left. Duanmu Ruoxue could not help but ask, but when she asked, he immediately regretted it.

"Nothing, just seeing the Princess Xixi reminded me of my wife." Lee Xun said sorrowfully.

"It's not big sister Jingjing?" Duanmu Ruoxue had always thought that Lee Xun was the only woman, and someone as intelligent as her would naturally be able to hear the meaning behind his words. The main reason was that if the Princess Xixi and Lei Jingjing stood together, they wouldn't feel anything.

"Yes." Lee Xun did not want to say more, he only gave a "En" and had no intention to continue.

Duanmu Ruoxue clenched her teeth tightly, at that moment, he suddenly felt that Lee Xun was extremely detestable. How could she have fallen in love with such a woman, just how many women did he have? The more she thought about it, the more impatient she became. "Lee Xun, how many wives do you have?"

It seemed that Duanmu Ruoxue's face did not look good, but Lee Xun did not have any intentions of yielding, and from his point of view, Duanmu Ruoxue did not have the right to ask him this question.

"Don't you think you're asking too many questions?"

"Hmph." I was afraid that you would go and harm Princess Xixi, so I wanted to make it clear. " Duanmu Ruoxue forced herself to remain calm.

Lee Xun felt that Duanmu Ruoxue was being extremely clumsy when she was smart, to the point that she could find such a rotten excuse. With Lee Xun's sharp observation skills, how could he not see that she already had feelings for him. However, his feelings were still a mess so far, how could he possibly consider her?

"Don't worry, I won't have any ill intentions towards Princess Xixi. As for you ? you won't have any." Lee Xun felt that if he continued to play with Duanmu Ruoxue at this moment, she would definitely give up on that idea.

Originally, when Lee Xun dragged his voice, he was still looking forward to it. But with Lee Xun's perverted, young master's expression, he felt like what he was doing, he had only known Lee Xun for a short period of time, and knew him to a large extent. At the very most, they could only be considered normal friends. If not for that news, Lee Xun might have long ago separated from him. Duanmu Ruoxue said coldly, "Remember your words."

In the past, there had never been a boy who caught his attention, let alone having a close physical contact with him. However, the days of interaction between him and Lee Xun were like a dream. Duanmu Ruoxue only knew that she was very strong, strong to the point of being comparable to middle stage Heaven Rank experts. However, this was not real for her, because she herself only had the power of Eleventh Rank, so how could she experience the power of Heaven Rank? However, the scene of Lee Xun playing chess with Gong Xia was still fresh in her mind. She had truly felt what kind of prodigy Lee Xun was, that her extremely proud chess was not even able to withstand a single blow from Lee Xun. He originally thought that Lee Xun was perfect, that he was bestowed by the heavens to him, but now, it was like a tragedy that ended in grass.

Seeing Duanmu Ruoxue's cold face, although Lee Xun could not bear to do so, but he understood that he could no longer go and find a good person, and it was better to separate the relationship between the two of them.

Before long, Princess Xixi came over wearing a set of dresses that were the same as Duanmu Ruoxue's, looking fresh and elegant. Seeing that Duanmu Ruoxue's expression was not good, the corner of her eyebrows slightly raised, and her beautiful eyes revealed a trace of craftiness, and said: "Lee Xun, did you bully Ruoxue?"

"There's only the three of us here, so I'm naturally the one bullying her." Lee Xun laughed.

"Hmph, look at me, I'll deal with you after we leave the palace. Ruoxue, let's go. " The Princess Xixi immediately had a bad look on her face. She grabbed Duanmu Ruoxue's arm and walked out with her.

Walking to the entrance of the palace, a guard commander came before the Princess Xixi and bowed, "Your Highness, the Empress knows that you are still angry at her, so she asked this general to tell you to be careful."

"Understood, you can leave."

"Your Highness, would you like this general to arrange a carriage for you?"

"No need, and you're not allowed to call anyone to follow me. With Ruoxue here, my safety will be fine."

The commander did not respond. He did not retort and left alone.

When he walked out of the palace gate, he saw Gong Xia and the two elders. The two elders were still studying the chess game. The two elders naturally saw Lee Xun as well, and so they both greeted him.

Princess Xixi was secretly surprised. She naturally knew the background of these two elders and normally would not even spare a glance for outsiders. They only treated him with the most ordinary form of respect. After all, she wasn't a cultivator. However, these two old men were extremely fond of Ruoxue, and it was also because of her great talent. But now, no matter how you looked at it, they seemed to be very respectful towards Lee Xun and were even more passionate than themselves.

"Lee Xun, you knew them from the beginning?" Princess Xixi asked.

"I only met him today."

"We've only met today, and they're already so passionate towards you?" The Princess Xixi was naturally in disbelief.

"Your Highness." This topic is a bit boring, let's change it. "

"Hmph, it's fine if you don't want to say it, but I'm not happy about it." Ruoxue, where do you think we should go now, to the Jiakesi Academy? " Princess Xixi did not pester him, and asked Ruoxue.

"It's getting late, let's find a place to eat dinner first. If you were to go to Jiakesi Academy, I'm afraid you would have to starve for quite a while. "

Jiakesi Academy was quite far from here, and it would take more than an hour for him to make a carriage. The Princess Xixi was not a cultivator. Although she was hungry, but with her dignity, Duanmu Ruoxue would definitely not let this kind of thing happen to the Princess Xixi, and right now, walking on the Triss Avenue, there were a lot of places to eat, and every restaurant had top quality Rotterdam.
