Chapter 149: Eldest Princess Long Qingyue
“Hahaha…” The more Ye Wenxin thought about it, the more she felt that Su Mei harbored great ambitions, but she did not continue to advise her. She wanted to know how Long Qingyue would play Su Mei to death.
Like this, she would not need to get into trouble herself and could enjoy watching Long Qingyue’s art of manipulation, which she had not seen for a long time…
Suddenly, a dense crowd appeared in the sky.
They were dressed like Secret Guards, blending in with their black clothing, making them very conspicuous, and their imposing aura was equally as strong.
As the group approached, the coercive pressure grew more intense.
Each person had the cold and firm gaze of a true warrior who had been through bloodshed. They were the proud Secret Guards, favored by the Golden Age Dynasty and trained personally by Long Qingyue, forming the most powerful team.
People looked up, and not far away, a sedan chair gracefully approached. This was Long Qingyue’s flying magic item, luxurious in appearance, with a veil faint enough that one could almost glimpse the silhouette of a beautiful woman.
“If you think you can climb this high branch with just your beauty, you’re dead wrong…” Seeing Su Mei staring at the sedan chair, Ye Wenxin could not help but sarcastically comment.
Their voices were low, but someone with cultivation like Long Qingyue’s could definitely hear their conversation.
Ye Wenxin deliberately wanted Long Qingyue to hear it so that she would pay attention to Su Mei and then give her a painful yet satisfying end.
“What do you mean by that? I don’t have such intentions,” denied Su Mei after snapping out of it, feeling that she could not see through Ye Wenxin, yet at the same time curious about what methods Ye Wenxin had to truly climb this high branch.
“Her Highness the Eldest Princess ranks third on the Unparalleled Beauties list; she’s always glaring daggers at the second-ranked Demon Lord, and you think a country bumpkin like you stands a chance?” Ye Wenxin’s words were direct enough, bluntly stating that Su Mei had no way of making an impression on a woman.
Her looks might have some effect on a man, but Long Qingyue was a woman, a powerful one that towered above everyone. Besides being the Eldest Princess, she was also the Golden Age Dynasty’s true ruler, and only strength could pique such a powerful woman’s interest.
“Of course, you could also try finding two pretty…” Ye Wenxin thought of Long Qingyue’s secret fondness for BL and almost let it slip out due to excitement, but managed to stop herself in time.
Su Mei became even more puzzled, her gaze shifting to the entrance as the sedan chair landed, focusing on the silhouette on the sedan.
Long Qing’er and several sect leaders went up to welcome the sedan. Such grandeur indicated that Long Qingyue could be regarded as the number one figure in the world today.
A few seconds later, a Secret Guard beside the sedan opened the curtain, and a woman’s figure appeared.
She wore a long, graceful dress, and a simple headdress adorned her soft, long hair. Her features were picturesque, her eyes like water, and a faint red tint adorned her delicate lips, exuding elegance and nobility.
As she looked around at the crowd, a faint smile captured everyone’s attention, making it impossible for them to look away. But in the next moment, everyone noticed Long Qingyue was sitting in a wheelchair. Surprised, they quickly averted their gaze and respectfully bowed to the woman.
“We respectfully welcome Her Highness the Eldest Princess.”
This person was none other than Long Qingyue.
She was a woman of such elegance that no man could harbor impure thoughts about her. Mature and dignified, she exuded boundless elegance, with a hint of scholarly air that made her seem unapproachable.
Everything was fine except for one small defect: this legendary figure was sitting in a wheelchair. As she smiled at everyone, she also stroked the black cat sitting on her lap.
This was Long Qingyue’s spirit beast, and its reputation was no less than that of any famous spirit beast.
As if sensing the commotion around, the black cat opened its blood-red eyes, causing those nearby to shiver involuntarily.
Ye Wenxin looked somewhat surprised, not expecting Long Qingyue to bring this ancestor out. She shrunk back a bit. With this black cat around, she would not be able to happily tease her best friend.
So she leaned towards Su Mei and quietly removed her sachet, intending to use it to mask her own scent, lest she be discovered by the black cat and not Long Qingyue.
Although the Bone-shrinking Technique was very useful, a person’s gaze or scent could not be changed. Ye Wenxin even suspected whether Long Qingyue had already known she was here and deliberately brought the black cat to play around.
“No need for too much courtesy, everyone. This Palace is just a guest,” spoke Long Qingyue, and the black cat immediately quieted down, its blood-red eyes turning into normal apricot color. It curiously stared around, appearing very cute.
But if one knew of the Eldest Princess Long Qingyue’s fame, they would definitely have heard about how ferocious and bloodthirsty her spirit beast―Big Baby was.
Naturally, no one dared to underestimate her. While enjoying the spectacle, they stared at the Eldest Princess determinedly and swore to engrave her stunning beauty into their minds.
Ye Wenxin had lost interest in watching Long Qingyue because of the black cat. She patted the still excited Fatty and whispered to him, “Don’t forget to advertise later. I’m a bit tired, so I’m going back earlier to sleep.”
With that, Ye Wenxin planned to leave, but suddenly noticed a pair of eyes on her. Upon closer look, Long Qingyue was whispering to one of the Secret Guards.
They were dressed like all the other Secret Guards. Judging from their figure, the person who seemed close with Long Qingyue was probably a woman.
Ye Wenxin could not help but take a few more glances, only to find that the woman was also looking at her. The two seemed to be discussing something about her.
Ye Wenxin suddenly realized that the woman should be Xiao Zhang, the Secret Guard’s deputy commander, who had once replaced her in classes for several months.
Seeing her spirited appearance, it seemed she had not only regained Long Qingyue’s trust, but had also been promoted.
Thinking about the two of them whispering now, Ye Wenxin focused her Divine Sense, wanting to eavesdrop on their conversation, but Long Qingyue easily noticed her.
However, Long Qingyue just glanced at her indifferently and continued to instruct Xiao Zhang, “These siblings don’t appear simple. Bring that sister to me. I have some questions for her.”
Long Qingyue’s tone was calm, but there was an unquestionable authority.
Xiao Zhang hesitated for a moment, seeming conflicted, afraid that Long Qingyue might do something unfavorable to Ye Wenxin.
“She has already agreed. Rest assured, they saved you. I, Long Qingyue, may not be a big deal, but I will never be ungrateful to those who have helped me.” Long Qingyue’s gaze shifted to Ye Wenxin in the distance, as if she were not just telling this to Xiao Zhang, but to her too.
Ye Wenxin had not expected Long Qingyue to approach her so soon. From her tone, it seemed that Long Qingyue had not seen through her identity but was curious about ‘Ye Liangchen’.
Ye Wenxin even suspected whether Long Qingyue had come to the Azure Wings Sect a day early because of ‘Ye Liangchen’.
Nevertheless, Ye Wenxin could not avoid this first encounter. She gave a faint smile to Xiao Zhang in the distance, considering it as a response.
Xiao Zhang knew how formidable Ye Wenxin was, but she had never imagined that the girl had such abilities hidden up her sleeve. When her mistress only showed a hint of interest, she nodded.
With just a few words exchanged, Long Qingyue immediately turned to a dignitary waiting in the distance and said, “This Palace is a bit tired and wants to go back to rest.”
The people who had been waiting to curry favor with Long Qingyue were stunned, but seeing that Long Qingyue had no intention of wandering around, they also took her back to her accommodation for this occasion.
Although the accommodation was within the Azure Wings Sect, the furnishings had been prepared since half a year ago. Long Qing’er obediently followed behind. Once dominant, she now seemed like a true junior, which was somewhat amusing.
Ye Wenxin did not follow immediately. She believed Xiao Zhang would come to find her and arrange a meeting time with Long Qingyue. For now, Ye Wenxin continued to maintain her usual style—eating and sleeping when needed…
Time flashed by. Ye Wenxin was about to extinguish the candles to go to sleep, but found Baili Mu had been drugged and was unconscious, and standing by her bed was a graceful woman dressed in black.
Her eyes carried a hint of tenderness and nostalgia, as if she felt she was dreaming.
“Xiao Zhang?” Ye Wenxin called out her name.
Though she familiarly called her Xiao Zhang, her full name was Zhang Qianqian, and she was the current commander of the Secret Guards.
Hearing Ye Wenxin call her name, Xiao Zhang hesitated for a moment, then removed the mask from her face, revealing a face that was quite familiar to Ye Wenxin.
She was still as stunning as ever, and perhaps due to her body’s recovery, she did not look as thin as before. There was more where there should be, and less where there should not be. Her figure was more curvaceous and graceful.
As Ye Wenxin glanced over her, Xiao Zhang, who had been thinking about how to start the conversation, found herself at a loss because of Ye Wenxin’s reaction.
“What are you looking at?” Ye Wenxin’s gaze held a hint of seriousness, making Xiao Zhang worry that she had some unknown illness again.
“If you have something to say, just say it straight, no need to beat around the bush.” Xiao Zhang felt a bit uneasy, partly because she trusted Ye Wenxin’s medical skill and partly because Ye Wenxin held an important place in her heart.
“Xiao Zhang, have you gained weight?” Ye Wenxin blurted out her thought, and Xiao Zhang immediately slapped her, but Ye Wenxin dodged it with a grin.
However, facing Xiao Zhang, who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, Ye Wenxin’s evasion was too slow. Xiao Zhang caught her in one move and pinned her down on the bed.
“You little brat, after just a few months, you’ve grown quite bold!” “I’m just afraid someone might impersonate you. Of course, I have to take a good look. Who knew you’d change so quickly?” Ye Wenxin struggled symbolically for a few moments, explaining why she was scrutinizing Xiao Zhang.
