In one of the courtyards, Nangong Hong also heard this voice. A strange expression appeared on his face, and he had a complicated expression.”It seems that the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne, Zhenzhen.”
“They’re finally here?” On the other side, Gu xueshang stood up. Her pretty face was filled with excitement and disappointment.
In a large hall, Nangong Hong personally welcomed the sixth commander of the Red Dragon Calvary, Xiao Changhe, into the hall. Gu xueshang was also there.
Upon seeing Gu xueshang, Xiao Changhe knelt on one knee and said respectfully, ” “This subordinate greets Princess xueshang!”
“Get up, Zhenzhen. Does my father still remember that he has a daughter like me?” Gu xueshang looked at Xiao Changhe, her face expressionless.
Xiao Changhe cupped his fists and said, ” the Crown Prince has only paid no attention to you all these years to protect Princess xueshang. However, now that Crown Prince Xuanji is about to ascend the throne and become the new emperor of the great Xia Dynasty, no one will be able to threaten your safety. The Crown Prince has sent me to welcome Princess xueshang. Once he ascends the throne, Princess xueshang will become the eldest Princess of our great Xia Dynasty!
Nangong Hong, who was standing at the side, did not say anything. He was Gu xueshang’s master, so he naturally knew about Gu xueshang’s background. As the only daughter of the current crown Prince, Xia Jue, she did not take her father’s surname for the sake of safety. The Crown Prince had many enemies back then.
Over the past ten to twenty years, the Crown Prince had obviously defeated all his powerful enemies and was about to become the new emperor. He immediately sent someone to welcome Gu xueshang and wanted to make her the eldest Princess when she ascended the throne.
okay, Zhenzhen, I know. I’ll go back tomorrow morning. Gu xueshang nodded slightly. She had also been waiting for this day for too long. It was not for power and status, but for her mother who had lost her life to protect her.
“Tomorrow morning? Alright, alright. Xiao Changhe hesitated slightly. He wanted to leave with Gu xueshang immediately and complete the mission as soon as possible, but he still nodded.
“Gu xueshang is the crown prince’s daughter? The Xia Emperor is going to abdicate?”
Without a doubt, the news of the Red Dragon cavalry’s arrival to welcome Gu xueshang back to the Imperial court had shaken the entire ascending Heaven’s Gate. They had not expected that the most mysterious and low-key Hall Master of the ascending Heaven’s Gate, the flying Swallow Hall, would have such a shocking background and identity!
Su Jie was also the first to know about this matter. He was equally shocked. Su Jie had long known that Gu xueshang’s background was not simple and seemed to be from a large family clan. However, he did not expect Gu xueshang to be a member of the great Xia imperial family. Furthermore, her father was the current crown Prince and would become the new emperor today!
To the small ascending Heaven’s Gate of wind Cloud County, it felt surreal.
Su Jie had already kept the spirit gathering disc and was ready to go to the ink Wind Mountain range. He was hesitating if he should meet Gu xueshang. However, in the afternoon, Gu xueshang took the initiative to visit him.
Seeing su Jie, Gu xueshang’s expression was very complicated, ” “I’m leaving.”
“Okay, take care.” Su Jie did not know what to say, so he nodded.
Gu xueshang, on the other hand, said with some hope, ” “Are you willing to leave with me? Become my Knight!”
Gu xueshang was full of hope. After leaving the Heaven’s Gate where she grew up, she would be heading to a very strange place. She also hoped that someone would accompany her and she wanted su Jie to leave with her.
Gu xueshang would become the eldest Princess of the great Xia Dynasty, and her father would be the new Xia Emperor. One could imagine that becoming her Knight was like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate. Just a little bit of resources would be unimaginable to outsiders!
There were major martial arts sects and hidden immortal sects in the great Xia Dynasty, and the one who ruled the great Xia Dynasty was the royal family. It could be seen that their strength and heritage were deep. Gu xueshang’s request was a chance for su Jie to rise to the top in one step.
Seeing Gu xueshang’s hopeful eyes, su Jie’s heart softened a little and he had an impulse to agree. However, his eyes quickly became clear and he shook his head, ” “I’m sorry, but I prefer to be free and unrestrained.”
He agreed to leave with Gu xueshang. Su Jie believed that Gu xueshang would not mistreat him after she became the eldest Princess. She would give him some benefits that would benefit him greatly. However, su Jie felt that he could no longer treat her as an equal.
Moreover, if he took a step back and thought about it, Gu xueshang, a member of the great Xia royal family who was in exile, would definitely attract a lot of gossip if she brought a man back. Su Jie would most likely be targeted by all parties and become the target of public criticism. For her own good and for his own good, su Jie felt that rejecting her was the most secure choice.
“I know that in the future, if Qianqian has any problems, you can come to the Imperial City of the great Xia to find me at any time. You will always be my friend, and xueshang also owes you a life.”
Su Jie’s rejection made Gu xueshang feel an irrepressible sadness, but she quickly recovered, kept her emotions in check, and said to su Jie sincerely.
Su Jie was also secretly amused. Gu xueshang did not know that she did not only owe him one life, but two!
“Okay, take care.” Su Jie nodded.
Gu xueshang turned around and left, feeling very down.
Not long after Gu xueshang left, another person came to the door. It was a brawny man in red armor.
Even without releasing his aura, this burly man gave off a faint, tremendous pressure. He was definitely a second-in-a-generation expert in wind Cloud County!
“I’m Xiao Changhe, the sixth commander of the Red Dragon cavalry.” The brawny man introduced himself to su Jie.
“Greetings, commander Xiao.” Su Jie nodded and knew that this person was the expert who had received orders from the Crown Prince to pick up Gu xueshang.
“You’re su Jie, right?” Xiao Changhe asked su Jie. I’ve heard of your name, you’re the most outstanding genius of the Heaven’s Gate, you’re a man of striking appearance! The future generations are fearsome!”
Su Jie naturally did not take Xiao Changhe’s polite words seriously. He asked in confusion, ” “Commander Xiao, why are you looking for me?”
Xiao Changhe laughed. I’ve heard from others that you’ve saved Princess xueshang’s life. The imperial family of the great Xia never owes anyone a favor. If you have any requests, you can ask! We’ll be satisfied!”
su jie understood in his heart. to put it bluntly, this xiao changhe was here to draw a clear line between them. su jie had saved gu xueshang’s life, so the imperial family would repay him. thus, they were even, and no one owed anyone anything!
otherwise, it would be troublesome if su jie relied on this relationship to ask for more or even make some unreasonable requests.
In su Jie’s heart, there was an inexplicable anger. This was the anger of being looked down on by others!
If he was an expert that was hard to find in the world, Xiao Changhe would not have tried so hard to draw him to his side.
“Do you still think that you can bully a poor young man?” su jie laughed speechlessly. however, it made sense. in the eyes of xiao changhe and the great xia imperial family, su jie had risen to fame in wind cloud county and was known as the blood vajra.
However, he was just a nobody. In the future, he might only be able to become the leader of the heaven ascending sect. He might be the most powerful person in the wind Cloud County, but in the vast thirteen states and hundreds of counties in the great Xia Dynasty, he was not worth mentioning!
Other than feeling slightly angry at being looked down on, su Jie did not have any other emotions.
su jie looked at xiao changhe, who was in front of him. xiao changhe obviously wanted to clear the debt of gratitude for su jie saving gu xueshang’s life. if he did not make any requests, it would make xiao changhe think that he had other motives and was unwilling to give up. since that was the case, then he would fulfill his wish!
“Commander Xiao, I do have something that I need. I would like a vitality creation pill,” su Jie said after some thought.
“Life force creation pill?” Hearing this, Xiao Changhe was slightly surprised.
life force creation pill. this pill could bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh from bones. as long as one had a breath left, it could save their life and transform their physique. most importantly, it could regrow broken limbs!
In the pugilistic world, there were many who broke their arms and legs and became disabled when they fought outside. If they had a life fate pill, they could be Reborn!
The reason why Su Jie wanted this life force creation pill was, of course, for his father, Su Wu.
Su Jie’s action was undoubtedly a huge blow to a martial artist. After joining the heaven ascending sect, su Jie did not forget to get his hands on this spiritual pill that could regrow a broken limb.
However, the vitality fate pill was so precious that many immortal cultivators could not even get their hands on one, let alone ancient martial art practitioner sects. It was one of the most precious spiritual pills!
