1960 First Meeting With the Elder Princess
Princess Yun Yang didn’t know whether to call Chu Yunfan arrogant or confident. If he had said this before, she would have thought that he had gone crazy. He actually thought that the top 20 on of the Prodigy List could be defeated in a single blow and that the ones who needed to be careful were them.
Despite that, she didn’t say anything. It was a big taboo to go too deep into certain topics.
“General Chu, you’d better inform the elders of the Flying Celestials to come and protect you. Otherwise, after killing so many people in one go, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave Serene Immortal Mountain,” Princess Yun Yang advised, “Within these mountains, you are under my aunt’s protection. Even if people dislike you, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly. However, once you leave, I’m afraid they will immediately target you.”
Chu Yunfan was now sure that Princess Yun Yang had good intentions and didn’t want him to be targeted. However, if she could consider this, how could he have not thought of it before?
Despite that, since he had already decided to use these people’s heads to establish his might, these were all within his consideration.
“I would like to ask you for a favor, Princess,” Chu Yunfan said.
“Go ahead. For Siyu’s sake, I’ll do anything I can. I’ll even mediate for you,” Princess Yun Yang immediately said because she realized that this was the best way to make Chu Yunfan owe her a favor.
She knew very well that these top experts were all more arrogant than the last. It was not that easy to subdue them. It could even be said to be very difficult. These people had everything they wanted. It was almost impossible to take out something that would grab their attention. Only under such circumstances could she start a friendship with these people by sending charcoal in the snow.
For this reason, she did not care even if she had to fall out with the other sects because she was more and more optimistic about Chu Yunfan’s future. As long as he could gain the Elder Princess’ recognition, no one could underestimate his future.
“No need for that.” Chu Yunfan shook his head. “I have a list of medicinal herbs here, and I hope that you can help me get them, Princess. I’m afraid that people have long monitored my movements, so it’s inconvenient for me to come out. I hope that you can help me get them before the end of the birthday celebration.”
As he said that, he handed over a jade slip that contained a list of medicinal herbs.
Princess Yun Yang glanced at the list. She did not know much about alchemy, so she could not see the connection between all these herbs. However, from Chu Yunfan’s look, it seemed that he had placed all his hopes on the items on this list. Clearly, they were not ordinary.
She was stunned for a moment. Then, a faint smile appeared on her face. “Of course, that won’t be a problem. Since you’re the one asking for them, it’s just a small matter.”
Princess Yun Yang smiled like a flower and continued, “However, if you need me, you can look for me at any time. I believe that I can command some respect and can help you tide over this crisis.”
Chu Yunfan was slightly stunned. He realized that he had underestimated Princess Yun Yang. She could even resolve the people’s deep resentment after he killed their chief disciples. It seemed that her power behind the scenes was far from what she showed on the surface, and it was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Princess Yun Yang didn’t know that her suggestion had allowed Chu Yunfan to discover clues and infer many things.
As the two of them were talking, a pale golden light suddenly swept out from the depths of Serene Immortal Mountain. It broke through the barrier and arrived in front of Chu Yunfan and Princess Yun Yang.
It was a woman around 27 or 28 years old. She was wearing a long, lotus-green palace dress. Her figure was slender and her face was exquisite and flawless, but there was a coldness that ordinary people could not get close to.
“Chu Yunfan? Please follow me. The Elder Princess wishes to see you,” the woman said in a lofty tone that did not allow for rejection.
Chu Yunfan frowned. Then, he learned from Princess Yun Yang through telepathy that the woman was the Elder Princess’ personal maid, Ruoxi. Although she was called a maid, she was actually the Elder Princess’s first disciple.
Each of those maids had extremely high cultivation, and this Ruoxi was one of the best. Her cultivation had long surpassed the Creation Stage, and she was probably even stronger than Li Qianyuan.
Ruoxi glanced at Princess Yun Yang and replied, “I don’t know either, Princess. It’s just that the Elder Princess wants to see him. Please follow me.” She then turned around and stepped out in a streak of light.
Chu Yunfan followed and entered Serene Immortal Mountain’s depths.
On top of a huge floating mountain peak, the peak had been shaved off, forming a flat ground. Within the pavilions, dense fog lingered around.
Chu Yunfan was led by Ruoxi to the top. He looked over and saw a figure looming in the layers of mist.
Chu Yunfan cupped his hands and greeted, “Greetings, Elder Princess.”
“How dare you kill people in my place? Do you even take me seriously?”
From inside the dense fog, the figure spoke. Her voice was crisp and pleasant to the ear, but it carried a layer of heavy aura.
Her tone carried a kind of arrogance that looked down on the world. Although it was not clear, it was clearly a power that could only be cultivated by those who had been at the top for a long time.
Chu Yunfan said lightly, “Elder Princess, I just removed some unworthy people.”
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?” From the dense fog, the Elder Princess continued to speak.
Chu Yunfan replied, “If you wanted to kill me, you could’ve done it when I killed the Junior Flame Master.”
He knew that with the Elder Princess’ strength, he couldn’t hide things from her. She just didn’t stop him because she did not want to. She probably wanted to use him to eliminate some people who didn’t pass her qualifications.
