74: Princess Dugu Nianyu of the Xuan Yue Dynasty

Seeing all the Wushuang Sect disciples' gazes focused on the pure girl.

The Four Night Owls stood in the encirclement, looking utterly bewildered.

They didn't know the pure girl at all and couldn't understand why she would help them out.

Especially Night Owl.

He was already preparing to draw his bloodthirsty sword and go on a killing spree.

Wasn't the pure girl's intervention stopping him from absorbing nutrients?

Being stared at by so many people.

The pure girl's expression remained unchanged.

She looked at the questioning Wushuang Sect disciple and said indifferently, "Your Wushuang Sect is also a top sect in the Southern Region. Now that you've lost a duel, you resort to a group attack? Don't you find it shameful?"

Although the girl only spoke softly and didn't unleash any cultivation aura.

That invisible aura of a superior still made the surrounding people feel a wave of pressure.

"Exactly, your Wushuang Sect is too shameless. If you can't win, you resort to a group attack. Do you have no dignity?"

The maid next to her also chimed in, completely disregarding the hundreds of Wushuang Sect members.

"This..."

The questioning Wushuang Sect disciple was immediately awestruck and speechless for a moment.

The pure girl's words.

Although she didn't explicitly say she wanted to protect Night Owl and the others, anyone who wasn't an idiot knew what she intended to do.

However, Senior Brother Luo was, after all, the number one on Wushuang Sect's Earth Venerable ranking.

If they let the person who killed a disciple from a small sect escape, they wouldn't be able to explain it to the elders upon their return.

Thinking of this, the questioning Wushuang Sect disciple braced himself and said to the pure girl, "Miss, you can protect these people. Please leave your name so that when our sect's elders investigate, they will know who interfered in this matter."

This was his last resort.

The pure girl had the status of a Xuan Yue Dynasty royal, and they certainly couldn't afford to offend her.

Now they could only ask for the girl's name, so that when the elders investigated, it would no longer be their concern.

"Hmph, you blind fools, this is Her Royal Highness, the Ninth Princess of the Xuan Yue Dynasty, the current Emperor's most beloved only daughter."

Before the pure girl could speak.

The maid beside her proudly introduced the girl's identity.

"Hiss, it's actually the daughter of the current Emperor of the Xuan Yue Dynasty. No wonder she has such an extraordinary temperament."

"Indeed, I heard that Emperor Xuan Yue had eight sons and only recently had this one daughter, whom he dotes on immensely."

Hearing the maid reveal the pure girl's identity.

The surrounding onlookers and vendors were all astonished.

They had thought the pure girl was just an ordinary royal from the Xuan Yue Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, she was actually the current Emperor's only daughter.

With this status, let alone these Earth Venerable Realm Wushuang Sect disciples, even the Wushuang Sect's Old Ancestor wouldn't dare to disrespect her.

The lives of The Four Night Owls were completely saved.

"Ninth... Ninth Princess?"

The questioning Wushuang Sect disciple almost collapsed onto the ground in fright.

Such a terrifying identity! Fortunately, he had always been very polite, otherwise, if he had offended the pure girl, his entire ancestry would be wiped out.

"Since it is Her Royal Highness, the Ninth Princess, who wishes to protect them, we will give her this respect."

"Everyone, follow me!!!"

The questioning Wushuang Sect disciple picked up the hammer left by the Green-Robed Youth.

He respectfully led the hundreds of people towards other inns.

Now that the Ninth Princess of the Xuan Yue Dynasty was protecting Night Owl and the others, they dared not have any conflict with them.

Therefore, the Fulin Inn could only be given to Night Owl and the others.

After the hundreds of Wushuang Sect members left.

The people watching the commotion on the street also slowly dispersed.

After all, the pure girl's status was too noble. If they continued to stand there foolishly watching.

The experts hidden in the shadows, protecting the girl, might mistakenly think they were fantasizing about the princess.

If that were to happen, they would instantly lie dead on the street, so it was better to leave early to avoid losing their lives just for watching a show.

Seeing the surrounding crowd disperse.

The Four Night Owls stared blankly at the pure girl.

They didn't need anyone to help them out, but now the pure girl had inexplicably come to their rescue.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to thank the pure girl or what to do.

Especially Night Owl, whose bewildered eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.

Those Wushuang Sect disciples were his nutrient babies.

Now that the pure girl had scared them away, how was he going to absorb nutrients?

If it weren't for the girl's good intentions, he would have definitely given her a good whack on the head.

Mind your own business!!

Mind your own business!!

Seeing The Four Night Owls still standing there in a daze.

The pure girl thought they were frightened, so she quickly smiled and walked up to them, "Don't be afraid, they won't trouble you anymore. My name is Dugu Nianyu, which sect are you disciples from?"

Of course, she didn't help Night Owl and the others purely out of a sense of justice.

As the Ninth Princess of the Xuan Yue Dynasty, she had a responsibility to recruit geniuses for the Xuan Yue Dynasty.

The strength Night Owl displayed just now perfectly met the Xuan Yue Dynasty's recruitment requirements.

That's why she came out to help Night Owl and the others.

Hearing the girl's self-introduction and question.

Gu Chen and the other two came back to their senses and smiled awkwardly.

Night Owl didn't smile, because he wasn't in the mood.

Gu Chen cupped his fist at Dugu Nianyu and said, "My name is Gu Chen, a disciple of the Qingtian Sect in Yunzhou. Thank you, Your Royal Highness, the Ninth Princess, for helping us out."

Mu Xueqing and Qin Fei'er also cupped their fists and said, "My name is Mu Xueqing, and I am Qin Fei'er. We are both disciples of the Qingtian Sect. Thank you, Ninth Princess, for helping us out."

Night Owl glared at Dugu Nianyu, turned his face away, and said nothing.

Thank her ass.

Not hitting Dugu Nianyu was already a testament to his good temper.

So many nutrients had been scared away, his heart was bleeding, how could he be in the mood to talk?

"Uh, hehe, my Senior Brother doesn't like to talk, Ninth Princess, please don't take offense."

Seeing Night Owl ignore Dugu Nianyu, Gu Chen quickly smoothed things over.

After all, Dugu Nianyu had helped them out; although they didn't need such help, proper etiquette still had to be observed.

"Mm-hmm, Ninth Princess, please don't be angry, our Senior Brother just has that kind of temper."

Mu Xueqing and Qin Fei'er also explained.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing. Are you here to participate in the azure emperor inheritance?"

Dugu Nianyu smiled, not minding, but instead asked about Night Owl and the others' purpose for being there with a suspicious look.

Because if she remembered correctly, the Qingtian Sect simply didn't have a quota for the azure emperor inheritance.

Although Yunzhou was territory of the Xuan Yue Dynasty and the imperial court didn't pay too much attention to it, the palace's secret agents still reported major events happening there.

Whether it was the Qingtian Sect dominating Yunzhou, or a powerful expert cleaving the Yuntian Sect's golden battleship with a single strike, or the sect opening to accept disciples with hundreds of millions of cultivators gathering at the Qingtian Sect.

All these matters had been reported to her imperial father.

And at that time, she happened to be nearby and heard these tidings, also learning that there was a suddenly rising Qingtian Sect in Yunzhou.

Originally, her imperial father planned to send someone to the Qingtian Sect to summon the Sect Master of Qingtian Sect after the azure emperor inheritance concluded.

She hadn't expected to encounter disciples of the Qingtian Sect first in Azure Light City.
