Chapter 833: Chapter 752: Song Xiuqi’s Strength

"The most gifted young disciple of Cangqiong Manor from this generation, Song Xiuqi, disappeared for many years, and yet has appeared in the Great Yu Country.

But perhaps the Great Yu Country is not a place where Cangqiong Manor should extend its reach?"

A hint of a smile played on Si Xuan’s face, but there was a touch of hostility in that smile.

Upon hearing Si Xuan’s words, the guard beside the Eldest Princess raised his head slightly.

The indifference and sternness on his face did not lessen in the slightest.

"Song Xiuqi is Song Xiuqi, and Cangqiong Manor is Cangqiong Manor.

I am here solely to repay a debt of gratitude, to help the Princess reclaim what is rightfully hers.

As for other matters, I, Song Xiuqi, know nothing and have no interest in changing them."

Alongside him, the Eldest Princess rose and bowed respectfully to Si Xuan.

"Fairy, please forgive Xiuqi’s impoliteness. We, the Great Yu and Meihua Tower, have been on good terms for years and have gotten along well.

Even if I, Rong Yi, ascend to this high position, I will continue to coexist harmoniously with Meihua Tower.

Please rest assured, Fairy."

After taking a sip of wine, Si Xuan sat back down.

Under the Eldest Princess’s indication, Song Xiuqi, as a guard, directly sat in the first row.

The others, seeing this, also did not say much.

The standing of Cangqiong Manor was such that, even if he overstepped, nobody dared to scold him.

Song Xiuqi claimed he did not represent Cangqiong Manor, but in truth...

During the many years of his disappearance, Cangqiong Manor exhausted countless efforts to find him.

From such actions by Cangqiong Manor, everyone could see that Song Xiuqi was still esteemed.

No matter what he said, Cangqiong Manor would surely still recognize him as a disciple.

The reputation of Cangqiong Manor far surpassed that of Meihua Tower.

Such was the prestige of the top sects on the River Source Continent that, even if the Eldest Prince was dissatisfied, he dared not say a word.

Fortunately, the words Song Xiuqi said today at least indicated that Cangqiong Manor was not intervening.

But between Song Xiuqi and the Eldest Princess, there was some intimacy.

"The Royal Ancestral Hall will open in half a month. By then, I request that you royal heirs send someone to retrieve what is inside."

Eunuch Ma offered the timeline for the opening and, after bowing to the three royal heirs, left.

After Eunuch Ma left, Si Xuan of Meihua Tower also rose and did not linger.

As long as it does not affect the influence of Meihua Tower, the Eldest Princess inheriting the throne is not impossible.

Though in her heart, Si Xuan still hoped it was not her.

The relations with Song Xiuqi, if Cangqiong Manor were to extend its hand, could lead to some trouble.

Great Yu Country is a resource-rich land, which is why it has faced war in the past.

This is why Meihua Tower has always been a supporter of the Great Yu Country, emphasizing that this place is Meihua Tower’s territory.

After Si Xuan left, the feast of the day lost its meaning entirely.

The Eldest Princess was the first to rise, intending to leave with her guard, Song Xiuqi.

But as she rose, the Eldest Prince quickly stepped forward.

"Please wait, Mr. Song."

Upon hearing this, Song Xiuqi did not stop walking and continued forward.

Only when the Eldest Princess halted did he also stop.

"Does the Eldest Prince have something to discuss with my guard?"

The Eldest Princess’s eyes gleamed with a hint of audacity, as if mocking someone.

Seeing the two pause, the Eldest Prince paid no mind to the Eldest Princess and kept his gaze on Song Xiuqi.

"Mr. Song, esteemed as a descendant of Cangqiong Manor, renowned across the entire River Source.

I, Rong Tian, promise that if Mr. Song is willing to assist me, the world could be shared.

Whatever Mr. Song desires, as long as it can be achieved, I, Rong Tian, will spare no effort to fulfill it."

The Eldest Prince tried his best to show sincerity, his words earnest.

But the Eldest Princess listened to this and laughed with unparalleled indulgence, her laughter flamboyant.

"Xiuqi, the Eldest Prince is asking you, are you willing to follow him?"

With a stern face, Song Xiuqi looked at the Eldest Prince with a tinge of aversion, not really wanting to entertain the idea.

But after a pause, Song Xiuqi stepped forward and looked at the others.

"I really dislike trouble and wasting time.

If anyone here doubts my strength, stand up now and exchange a couple of moves.

If you intend to contend with me later, at the Royal Ancestral Hall, you may face grave consequences."

His sword sheath rested on the ground, and Song Xiuqi pressed the sword hilt with one hand.

His gaze swept across the Eldest Prince’s men and Shen Han’s group.

With the Cangqiong Manor’s name, many present seemed intimidated.

Shen Han looked at the two followers of the Young Prince, their faces grim, eyes avoiding Song Xiuqi’s gaze.

The men brought by the Eldest Prince were similar; their eyes avoided Song Xiuqi.

Shen Han was not afraid of him, just not interested in engaging him.

Demonstrating strength had little significance for him.

"Today, no one challenges me, but when the time comes, please do not make trouble for me, Song.

Otherwise, if I strike harder, you will be the ones suffering.

If it damages your foundation, you have only yourselves to blame for future misery."

Having spoken, Song Xiuqi returned to the Eldest Princess’s side.

"They’re just ordinary folk."

Song Xiuqi whispered to the Eldest Princess.

Though whispered, in the quiet of Wish Jade Palace, who would not hear?

The men brought by the Eldest Prince had seemed spirited before.

Being spoken to like this, none dared to retort.

Just the name of a Cangqiong Manor disciple left them feeling dizzy.

The Eldest Princess’s face returned to its indifferent expression as she left with Song Xiuqi.
