121: Princess of Qinghe

Ning Sui left the residence.

For a time, the residence was empty, lacking some of the sounds of laughter.

No one meticulously cleaned in front of or behind the house either, and slowly the courtyard became piled with fallen leaves.

Xu Qi'an walked in the courtyard, feeling a bit emotional in his heart.

But since this was Ning Sui's idea, he would not stop her.

He then reached out and gently beckoned, and the array in the room moved, and a white bat flew out.

The bat then continuously shrunk, perching on Xu Qi'an's hand.

"You go and see her."

"Unless absolutely necessary, do not reveal yourself."

The bat nodded slightly, then flew away.

Xu Qi'an had originally planned not to care about Ning Sui anymore, but after spending a month together, there were some feelings in his heart.

So he chose to follow his heart.

"Is this also a trial of the mundane world?"

Xu Qi'an suddenly had an epiphany.

He then planned to take a walk in Qinghe City.

As the capital city of Qinghe Country, Qinghe City was very large and prosperous.

However, in recent days, due to the frequent outbreaks of demon Cultivators in various parts of Qinghe Country, the capital city had also been affected to some extent.

But the prosperity remained.

Xu Qi'an concealed his cultivation, transforming himself into a Mortal.

Pedestrians came and went on the street.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came.

"If you don't want to die, quickly get out of my way!" The leading officer and soldier shouted loudly.

The surrounding common people immediately scattered and fled, but the cries of children and women were constant.

"My child!" a woman cried out.

Xu Qi'an turned his head to look, and happened to see a little girl who had fallen on the path where the cavalry was advancing, and the cavalry seemed to have no intention of avoiding her at all.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and in an instant, he arrived beside the little girl and blocked the oncoming cavalry.

Bang!

The leading cavalryman was immediately knocked over, horse and all, and the cavalry behind followed closely.

The cavalryman then stood up, slightly stunned, because the young man in front of him was completely unharmed.

"You are a Cultivator!"

"Cultivators entering Qinghe City must register, why haven't I seen you!"

He then shouted to the adjutant beside him: "Quick, quick, quick, quickly inform the Cultivators of the Royal Family to come!"

"No need!"

"We are already here!"

In an instant, several figures floated in mid-air.

These figures were all wearing green robes with river patterns carved on them.

Leading them was an old man with white hair but bright eyes.

"This old man is the Chief Grand Elder of the Qinghe Country Royal Family, Er Wen. I have heard of you, Fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist, as a Cultivator, you entered our Qinghe Country's Imperial City without registering, and even publicly obstructed our Royal Family from performing official duties!"

"What do you intend?"

Xu Qi'an remained calm, not looking at the leading old man in the green robe.

Instead, he patted the dust off the girl's clothes and then carried her to the crying woman nearby.

"Take good care of her," Xu Qi'an said softly.

The crying woman immediately wiped away the tears from her eyes and said gratefully.

"Thank you, Immortal, for saving her!"

Xu Qi'an nodded slightly.

However, the expressions of the several Elders of the Qinghe Country Royal Family behind him became strange.

Er Wen narrowed his eyes and questioned: "This Fellow Daoist is also a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, right? Although I cannot see through your cultivation, your actions seem to not put our Qinghe Country's Royal Family in your eyes."

Xu Qi'an turned around and said coldly: "Qinghe Country Royal Family, why should I put them in my eyes?"

Er Wen was struck as if by lightning upon hearing this, his eyes wide.

However, the Foundation Establishment Stage Elder beside him was confused and cursed angrily: "What kind of thing are you, daring to slander our Qinghe Country Royal Family!"

"Our Qingling Emperor of Qinghe Country is a powerful expert at the Core Formation Stage!"

"You, a young Cultivator who doesn't even dare to register your name, dare to slander our Qinghe Country Royal Family, what a joke!"

"Elder Er, let's quickly apprehend this person and escort him to the Qing Prison Hall!"

Er Wen, however, looked flustered, frozen in place, not knowing what to do.

Just then, a golden sedan flew out of the air.

A clear female voice with a hint of anger came from above.

"Stop!"

Er Wen's heart trembled, and then a look of relief appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, Long Princess!"

The sedan opened, revealing a beautiful female Cultivator wearing a golden dress.

Her cultivation was at the early Foundation Establishment Stage.

She flew down and landed beside Er Wen, questioning: "What happened?"

Er Wen was slightly stunned, stammering: "It was the Royal Family's cavalry team performing official duties, but they were obstructed."

"A conflict broke out for a while."

"Then we came to enforce the law..."

Long Princess Li Miaozhen immediately said coldly: "Shut up!"

"Elder Er, how can you also distort the truth!"

"I know about the cavalry team, they have not done less to bully the common people, relying on the power granted by the Royal Family!"

The face of the leading cavalry captain immediately turned ugly.

Li Miaozhen came to Xu Qi'an's side and bowed slightly: "Fellow Daoist, I apologize for the actions of the Qinghe Country Royal Family just now."

Xu Qi'an was indifferent to this: "Your Qinghe Country Royal Family neither deals with the demon Cultivator outbreaks currently occurring in Qinghe Country, nor does it care about its own people."

"Be careful not to follow in the footsteps of others."

Li Miaozhen was slightly stunned. Hearing this, she felt empathy in her heart.

"What Fellow Daoist said, our Royal Family understands, it is our poor management."

"As for the demon Cultivator outbreak, it is truly difficult to deal with, it is not that our Royal Family does not want to act!"

Li Miaozhen then smiled bitterly.

She then extended her right hand, with a hint of invitation, and said: "Fellow Daoist sees the current demon Cultivator outbreak in Qinghe Country so clearly, why not join our Qinghe Country Royal Family?"

"Let's deal with the demon Cultivator outbreak in Qinghe Country together and benefit the common people, how about it?"

Li Miaozhen's smile was extremely sincere, but Xu Qi'an, who was opposite her, was not moved at all.

"There is no need to say anything about the lady's invitation. I am not interested in the affairs of Qinghe Country, big or small, and I have no time to participate in any game of saving the world."

"That is the business of your Qinghe Country Royal Family."

Xu Qi'an turned around and disappeared from the street.

Li Miaozhen looked at Xu Qi'an's departing figure, and immediately shook her head and smiled wryly.

But a sentence suddenly came to her ears.

"Lady, let me tell you one more thing."

"Do you think the Imperial City is safe now?"

Li Miaozhen was instantly shocked, a hint of realization revealed in her eyes.

Er Wen beside her asked in a low voice: "Long Princess, did you really let him go?"

Li Miaozhen said coldly: "Elder Er, haven't you realized by now that this person's strength can no longer be at the Foundation Establishment Stage, or even the Core Formation Stage, it is highly likely that he is a traveling Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!"

Er Wen was instantly shocked, his expression becoming somewhat panicked.

"Then I almost offended a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!"

Li Miaozhen sighed and said: "Now is a time of trouble, and much of our energy has been tied up by the demon Cultivators."

"We cannot cause any more trouble."

"Moreover, this Senior even revealed a piece of information to me, Qinghe City is in danger!"

"It should be demon Cultivators!"

"And it is a danger that even my imperial father will probably find troublesome!"

Er Wen and the other Cultivators were all shocked, and couldn't help but regret their disrespectful behavior towards Xu Qi'an just now.

Li Miaozhen said coldly: "From now on, whenever you encounter this Senior, you must treat him with courtesy, do you understand?"

Er Wen said with a fawning smile: "That is natural, Long Princess, I now wish I could meet that Senior and kowtow a few times to appease the anger in his heart!"

Li Miaozhen then nodded and looked at the group of cavalry.

"Elder Er, take these cavalrymen down, strictly discipline them, and parade them through the streets."

"Yes!" Er Wen then sneered.

"Hmph! It's you cavalrymen who caused the trouble, if it weren't for you, how could we have offended a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!"
