Someone hollered.
Su Changyu and the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty were both stunned.
Hundreds of Heavenly Fiend Cult died under the Sword Qi.
Clearly, a true powerhouse had appeared.
Su Changyu, in particular, couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief after he saw that.
Fortunately, a savior came at this moment. Otherwise, he might die.
However, at this moment, the figure who appeared was a man in his twenties who was carrying an ancient sword. He slowly appeared in front of Su Changyu and the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty.
The man was handsome and he was clad in a faint golden robe, looking extremely extraordinary in front of the both of them.
“Your Highness, please forgive me for being late to your rescue.”
As soon as the man appeared, he went straight to the Ninth Princess. He seemed rather aloof as he bowed to the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty.
“Brother Changqing, why are you here?”
After the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty saw who the figure was, she couldn’t help but be shocked.
She was very curious about why he appeared there.
“Your Highness, His Majesty has already found out that you left the palace and he sent me to protect you in secret.”
“However, I accidentally fell into the trap laid by someone who tried to steer me away, but fortunately, you’re safe and sound. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to report to His Majesty.”
“Your Highness, are you alright?”
The man named Changqing spoke in a slow tone. Although he was apologizing, his attitude was composed.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but size Su Changyu up with some shock in his gaze. However, he was mainly shocked by Su Changyu’s sword and not his appearance.
“I’m alright, thank you for rescuing me. Otherwise, God knows what might happen to me.”
“Do you mean to say that my father found out long ago that I left the palace?”
The Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty first answered Changqing’s question, but the next moment, she looked surprised.
“Your Highness, His Majesty is very resourceful, so it’s impossible that he wouldn’t know of your departure from the palace.”
“He had merely turned a blind eye to it because he also thinks that you’ve been in low spirits lately.”
“However, I didn’t expect you to end up getting targeted by the Heavenly Fiend Cult during your trip out of the palace this time. I reckon there should be a snitch in the palace. Otherwise, there will be countless troubles.”
Li Changqing said so.
However, after saying that, he turned around to look at Su Changyu.
“Thank you for your help, Senior. I don’t know how else to repay your kindness, here’s a piece of Seven-Star Ancient Jade, I hope you’ll accept it.”
Li Changqing looked at Su Changyu calmly. Although he was thanking him, his tone seemed distant.
It seemed that Li Changqing did not have a good impression of Su Changyu, nor was he friendly to him.
However, he wasn’t hostile towards him.
Su Changyu glanced at Li Changqing. He was not only ascetic, he was also not that interested in such treasures.
The main reason was that Su Changyu was not knowledgeable enough about treasures to know the value of that piece of Seven-Star Ancient Jade. If he was given some clothing or Spirit Stones, he might have accepted it.
Besides, he felt that it would be inappropriate to accept a reward despite not having done anything.
Hence, he remained silent without answering Li Changqing.
“Brother Changqing, don’t be rude.”
Seeing that Su Changyu was not saying anything, the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty subconsciously thought that Su Changyu was peeved.
After all, he was a supreme expert. The Seven-Star Ancient Jade was considered insignificant to him.
“Your Highness, be careful of these strangers who are of unknown origins.”
“Besides, he’s wearing the royal robe of the Great Xia Dynasty. I’ve never heard any news of a royal of the Great Xia Dynasty arriving in the Great Qian Dynasty.”
“Moreover, the Great Qian Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty are not allies either. I’m not trying to project my shortcomings on others, but it is possible that this person was the one who sent the Heavenly Fiend Cult and put on an act with them to infiltrate the Great Qian Dynasty.”
Li Changqing did not look at Su Changyu but his tone was doubtful.
Indeed, ordinary people might not be able to identify the robe that Su Changyu was wearing, but Li Changqing could tell at a glance that it was the royal clothing of the Great Xia Dynasty.
‘Why would a royal of the Great Xia Dynasty appear here in the Great Qian Dynasty?’
Besides, how could he be so lucky as to suddenly appear there and coincidentally rescue the Ninth Princess?
That was indeed very suspicious.
After Su Changyu heard those words, he couldn’t help but be full of curiosity.
‘The clothes that I’m wearing are the royal attire of the Great Xia Dynasty?’
‘Who is Old Xuan? He actually managed to get the royal clothing. He should be very rich, huh?’
Su Changyu didn’t intend to answer Li Changqing’s questions because there was no point in answering. He couldn’t possibly say that he was supposed to go to the Great Xia Dynasty but ended up here for some reason.
Who would believe that?
Besides, he really didn’t want to get involved in the Great Qian Dynasty.
‘Wait…’
‘Is this the Great Qian Dynasty?’
‘Besides, where is the Great Qian Dynasty?’
It took Su Changyu a long time to realize where he was.
He was rather astonished but his expression was calm.
Although Su Changyu was not familiar with the geographical location of the nations, he could naturally answer some issues at this point.
Since it was a dynasty, it clearly wasn’t among the Ten Nations. Regardless of how clueless Su Changyu was about geography, he knew that there were five dynasties in this world, though he couldn’t name all of them.
Knowing that he seemed to have left the nation, Su Changyu froze right on the spot.
He was deep in thought.
‘I meant to take a trip within the country, how did I end up on a foreign land?’
‘Does the Great Qian Dynasty accept the currency of the Great Xia Dynasty? That’s really troubling.’
“Li Changqing, you are being overboard!”
However, at this very moment, the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty flew into a rage. She had never been angry at Li Changqing before. He too had quite a privileged status as the son of a marquis of the Great Qian Dynasty.
The Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty was usually very courteous towards him. Besides, Li Changqing was proficient in literature and martial arts, and he was set to succeed his father’s position as a marquis in the future. Hence, everyone was quite polite to him.
Even though Li Changqing was not good at talking and he had an indifferent personality, the princess would still choose not to embarrass him.
However, at this moment, she could no longer tolerate it.
Su Changyu was her savior and she could tell that he was a supreme expert.
Regardless of whether Su Changyu was the mastermind or not, he was powerful and they would be in greater danger if he lost his temper.
Hence, regardless of what intentions Su Changyu had, she definitely couldn’t afford to offend him at this point.
Furthermore, the most important point was that she did not believe that Su Changyu was really like what Li Changqing had made him out to be.

After all, Su Changyu was incredibly handsome and valiant. He was obviously a supreme Sword Immortal, so how could he be a heretic?
Combining the above points, the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty flew into a rage and chided Li Changqing, telling him to stop babbling such nonsense.
“I’m just concerned about your safety, Your Highness.”
However, Li Changqing did not continue to say anything else. Instead, his expression remained calm and he was obviously bent on standing firm to his thoughts.
His attitude made the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty furious and helpless.
At that moment, the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty looked at Su Changyu and said, “Senior, please forgive me. This person is Li Changqing, the son of Marquis Changye of the Great Qian Dynasty. His master is Gu Jianxian, so he’s rather straightforward and blunt with his words but he has kind intentions. Senior, please don’t blame him.”
The Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty was a smart person too. She immediately revealed Li Changqing’s family background and the identity of his father to Su Changyu.
In case Su Changyu had ill intentions, the fact that Li Changqing’s master was Gu Jianxian should be enough to deter him.
The Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty was keeping her eyes fixed on Su Changyu.
In particular, when she said the words “Gu Jianxian”, she became more and more serious, afraid to miss the slightest change in Su Changyu’s expression.
However, she didn’t expect Su Changyu to remain composed and unsurprised despite hearing Gu Jianxian’s name.
His calmness was extraordinary and his composure was the reason that the princess of the Great Qian Dynasty felt that he was incredibly extraordinary.
In fact, Gu Jianxian’s name didn’t ring a bell to Su Changyu at all.
‘Who is Gu Jianxian? Is he very strong? Is he as powerful as I am?’
Su Changyu thought in his heart.
However, Li Changqing suddenly interjected.
“Your Highness, don’t babble about that. I’m not under the tutelage of Senior Gu Jianxian, I just got the chance to meet him once. Senior Gu felt that I had great aptitude and taught me a few moves.”
“However, Senior Gu had indeed mentioned that as long as I reached the first level of the Supreme Sword Dao before I turned thirty, I could become his in-name disciple.”
Li Changqing reminded the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty that he was not Gu Jianxian’s disciple.
Although he sounded modest, he somehow seemed like he was bragging. Especially after seeing Li Changqing’s arrogant gaze, it was even more certain that he was bragging.
After hearing Li Changqing’s words, the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty could not help but sigh secretly.
However, Li Changqing continued to speak at this moment.
“Your Highness, it’s getting late and we’re still in danger. Let’s stop wasting time here and go to the Heavenly Star City instead. it’s much safer there.”
Li Changqing did not want to continue wasting time there. Hence, he suggested that they leave.
“Alright.”
The Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty also understood the current situation, but she still looked at Su Changyu and said,
“Senior, thank you for saving me this time but I really don’t know how I should thank you. If you don’t mind, why don’t you come to the palace for a stay?”
The Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty invited Su Changyu to stay in the Great Qian Dynasty Palace for a while.
However, she was just being polite. After all, Su Changyu was a peerless expert who probably wouldn’t think that a palace was a big deal.
However, to her surprise, Su Changyu agreed.
“Alright.”
Su Changyu agreed right away. He was not greedy for a luxurious life, but rather, he was lost.
If he didn’t agree, Su Changyu wouldn’t know the way out to the nearby ancient cities. Besides, he wanted to return to the Great Xia Dynasty, but there were no Teleportation Arrays that would lead to other dynasties in ordinary ancient cities.
There were only such Teleportation Arrays in the capitals of various nations. Besides, they were extremely troublesome too.
The person in front of him was the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty, so she could naturally give him some help.
All Su Changyu thought about now was going home.
However, after Su Changyu answered, Li Changqing’s expression changed.
He was suspecting Su Changyu in the first place and now that Su Changyu agreed to go to the palace, it was naturally as he had guessed.
However, before Li Changqing could say anything, the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty seemed elated.
“Great, since you don’t mind, let’s go ahead together, Senior.”
The Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty was full of excitement. She was 21 years old, which was considered extremely young in the world of immortal cultivation. However, being a woman, she naturally had feelings.
Since the first time she saw Su Changyu, the Ninth Princess had a favorable impression of Su Changyu.
After interacting with him more and more, she began to take a liking to him, which was the reason why she reprimanded Li Changqing when he voiced his conjecture.
That was also the reason that Li Changqing felt somewhat disgruntled because he could sense something.
However, in the end, he still didn’t say anything.
No matter what, the most important thing to do at hand was to let the princess return to the Great Qian Dynasty safely.
At the same time.
The Great Xia Dynasty.
In the Heart-Nurturing Palace.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was seated in the hall, seemingly thinking about something.
However, at this moment, a figure walked over and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn’t help but look up.
It was Taishang Xuanji.
“Xuanji.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty immediately stood up and looked at Taishang Xuanji agitatedly.
“Yes, Your Majesty?”
Taishang Xuanji walked over and then knelt down on the ground to kowtow to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty as a form of greeting.
“Spare the formalities. How are things going?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty seemed to be full of expectations as he looked at Taishang Xuanji.
“Your Majesty, I have already sent my servant to deliver the things to Changyu.”
Taishang Xuanji said.
“Does Changyu like them? Does he think the colors look good? Did he think that the clothes lacked variety? Or did he think that they’re not refined enough? Do they fit him well?”
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was bombarding Taishang Xuanji with all sorts of questions like a chatterbox.
“Your Majesty, I heard from my servant that Changyu is extremely fond of those clothes, but…”
The first half of Taishang Xuanji’s answer made the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty elated but the latter half made his heart sink.
“What? Xuanji, are you keeping me in suspense too? Quick, tell me.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said with a frown.
“Your Majesty, I heard my servant say that when he delivered it at first, Changyu told him to go home. He also asked lots of questions about whether I had an illegitimate son or not.”
Taishang Xuanji’s words were vague and it looked like he was intentionally hiding things. However, that was exactly what his servant had said to him.
Moreover, the words ‘illegitimate son’ gave the emperor of the Great Xia dynasty the feeling that something was amiss.
“What’s the point of asking that question?”
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty seemed a little nervous.
