"Who is it?"

At this moment, all eyes turned towards the voice.

They saw.

A young girl in white, her face cold as frost, walking over.

"Is it her?"

Ye Qingchen's heart skipped a beat.

The visitor was none other than Chu Yao, whom he had previously met at the Imperial Tutor's Mansion.

But why would she come here?

"Who are you, daring to cause trouble here?"

Someone shouted loudly.

"In my opinion, she must be an accomplice of Ye Qingchen. Arrest them and torture them severely!"

Elder Yao stroked his long beard, saying coldly.

"Indeed!" Liu Baotong nodded repeatedly at the side, "This woman is arrogant and defies the law; she should be severely punished and not let off!"

With everyone saying this, Yuan Long naturally did not refute, and directly sneered, "Men, arrest Ye Qingchen. If anyone dares to obstruct, they are traitors and bandits, kill without mercy!"

Chu Yao stood there, her face as cold as frost.

She had gone back and forth in pursuit of Ye Qingchen, already learning the whole sequence of events, which is why she came aggressively to the Celestial Fragrance Tower to rescue him.

But who would have thought.

These people would turn black into white, even wanting to lay their hands on her!

"Oh, really?"

Chu Yao snorted coldly, directly taking out a token.

This token was neither gold nor jade, engraved with a lifelike Golden Dragon, exuding an aura of nobility and unattainable status.

Upon seeing this token.

Everyone inside the Celestial Fragrance Tower turned pale with fear.

"Ninth Princess!"

Yuan Long gasped, nearly collapsing onto the ground.

Liu Baotong was equally horrified, with a look of terror and incredulity.

Elder Yao was struck with dread, having lost the composure he had before.

Even the three of them were like this, let alone the ordinary disciples? Each of them hung their heads low in fear, afraid of catching any fire. This was a genuine person of high standing!

"She is actually the Ninth Princess?"

Ye Qingchen's eyes flickered.

When he saw her at the Imperial Tutor's Mansion before, he had already suspected her identity was extraordinary, but he never thought she was a princess!

"Such audacity, you even dare to harm a friend of mine?" Chu Yao said coldly.

Upon hearing Chu Yao's words, everyone's expressions completely changed.

Ye Qingchen was actually a friend of the Ninth Princess?

How could that be possible?

Yuan Long hurriedly explained, "It was this young man who acted violently and injured the disciples of the Shifang Sword Sect. We have both witness and material evidence, and we ask the Ninth Princess to discern clearly! I was only enforcing the law!"

"Indeed! Ninth Princess, you see... our sect's disciples were all injured by Ye Qingchen!" Elder Yao quickly added, giving a side-eye to Liu Baotong.

Liu Baotong nodded repeatedly.

"Nonsense!"

Chu Yao rebuked, "Do not think you can deceive the world; it was the disciples of the Shifang Sword Sect who first took action and injured others, leading to these incidents. They brought it upon themselves!"

She had already visited Ye Qingchen's small courtyard before, and saw the injured Hong Man.

Otherwise, how would she arrive just in time?

"Yuan Long, as a City Defense Officer, you dare make arbitrary judgments without clarifying the truth, truly unable to distinguish right from wrong! Men, strip him of his armor, imprison him, and remove him from office for investigation!"

With the order from the Ninth Princess, who would dare not obey?

Immediately, those of the City Defense Army stormed forward and apprehended Yuan Long.

"Injustice!"

Yuan Long cried out in pain.

He had hoped to seize this chance to rise high, but little did he expect to end up as a prisoner instead.

Perhaps he would never recover in his lifetime.

"And moreover!" Chu Yao turned to Liu Baotong, "Under heaven, all land is royal land. Since when did the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion become your domain? Seal off this Celestial Fragrance Tower!"

Liu Baotong's face turned pale.

His family depended largely on the Celestial Fragrance Tower for their businesses.

If sealed, the family's influence would surely plummet.

Afterwards, Chu Yao looked at Elder Yao, "And you! As an Elder of the sect, failing to discipline, allowing disciples to commit violence, I will truthfully report this to the Shifang Sword Sect!"

Elder Yao nearly collapsed.

He had already imagined the situation he would face once this reached the Sword Sect.

As for the other disciples of the Shifang Sword Sect, they were even more terrified.

Liu Wei and Sun Hao, who were previously smug, nearly hung their heads to their chests, fearing to draw Chu Yao's attention.

They never imagined.

This plan to plot against Ye Qingchen would fail and instead backfire on them.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Chu Yao rebuked.

Upon her words, everyone trembled.

But who would dare speak at this moment? They could only leave in disgrace.

These people came in arrogantly, as if they had Ye Qingchen cornered.

But now they left like defeated dogs, utterly embarrassed.

"Elder Yao!"

Ye Qingchen suddenly called out.

Elder Yao halted and turned, glaring coldly at Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen fixed his gaze on Elder Yao, saying, "The events of today that your Shifang Sword Sect imposed upon me, I will remember. In the future, I will personally visit your sect to seek advice!"

Upon hearing these words, a glint of coldness crossed Elder Yao's eyes.

He gave Ye Qingchen a deep look, biting his words coldly, "Very well! Ye Qingchen, do not presume because you are the Newcomer King, you can overlook everyone. Our Shifang Sword Sect's disciples are not just like this, I wonder if you can maintain this confidence when facing our sect's Bronze Rank disciples!"

With that, he turned and left.

Bronze Rank?

Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes.

What kind of existence is that? Why have I never heard of it?

"So you are Ye Qingchen! Truly surprising!"

Having driven away the unrelated, Chu Yao studied the young man before her intently.

Before this, she had racked her brains trying to guess his identity. In Celestial Peak Country, which youth could both break arrays and have such a high alchemy talent.

But she never expected that he was, in fact, the rising Newcomer King of recent times!

Moreover.

Even in facing such a dire situation, he was not the least bit afraid, even seeming poised to fight his way out!

The eight major sects sent away such a genius; it must be said, they are truly blind!

"Indeed, I am Ye Qingchen!" Ye Qingchen listened, cupping his hands towards Chu Yao, "Ninth Princess, thank you for rescuing me today!"

He certainly did not fear Yuan Long, Elder Yao, and Liu Baotong.

At worst, he would just fight his way through.

But if so, Ye Qing and Jiang Churan would have no choice but to wander the world with him.

This was naturally not a scenario he wished to see.

"It's a small matter." Chu Yao nonchalantly waved her hand.

"By the way, Ninth Princess, why are you here..."

Ye Qingchen was curious.

He previously heard her mention that she seemed to be searching for him.

"I almost forgot!" Chu Yao slapped her forehead, her clumsy and naive demeanor completely belying her previous authoritative demeanor towards Elder Yao and the others, "My master wishes to see you!"

"Your master?"

A tremor ran through Ye Qingchen's heart.

Imperial Tutor?

He wants to see me?

Why does he want to see me?
