Chapter 239: Chapter 238: Seeking Revenge at the DoorXu Changfeng settled the four from the Spirit Sword Sect in his residence.
Given Lin Bai had been engaged in a fight before, Chen Gong decided to let him rest first.
Meanwhile.
The Fifth Princess arrived at an elegant palace in the Imperial City, crying her heart out.
The injuries sheâd previously suffered from Lin Bai had mostly healed thanks to treatment from the Imperial Hospital.
"Whaaa..."
The Fifth Princess cried inconsolably as she entered the palace.
"Xiao Wu, whatâs happened to you? Why are you crying so desperately?" A beautiful woman in royal attire asked with a light smile.
This woman, dressed in a royal gown, had a mature face and determined eyes. She emanated an aura of heroic spirit that would not yield to any man.
"Boohoo, big sister, I was bullied," the Fifth Princess said, walking into the palace and throwing herself onto the beautiful womanâs lap, bursting into tears.
If Lin Bai was there, he would certainly recognize this woman.
This woman in the royal gown was none other than the First Princess, Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao asked with a smile, "Really? Who, in the entire Imperial City, would dare to bully you... Wait, youâre injured?"
Bai Xiaoxiao had just intended to tease the Fifth Princess, but as soon as she touched her, she immediately noticed the residual injuries on her.
"Big sister, you must seek justice for me! Otherwise, I...I simply wonât...live," the Fifth Princess sobbed.
Bai Xiaoxiaoâs expression turned icy, "Tell me everything. Was it someone from the Xu family?"
The Fifth Princess replied, "No, it was a warrior from the Spirit Sword Sect. I visited the Qianlong Villa to spar with the disciples from the Four Major Sects. But one of the disciples from the Spirit Sword Sect beat me without any reason."
"Big sister, you must avenge me," she sobbed.
Those who dare to harm the royal family... Iâm curious as to who in the Spirit Sword Sect has such audacity." Bai Xiaoxiaoâs face turned even colder. She rose from her seat and took the Fifth Princess with her to Qianlong Villa.
At Qianlong Villa.
Bai Xiaoxiao took the Fifth Princess through various pavilions and kiosks, heading straight for the Spirit Sword Sectâs residence.
"Is that the First Princess?"
"Indeed, it is the First Princess. The rumors about her beauty werenât exaggerated."
"And her talent in martial arts is remarkable, too. In addition to that, she has a unique aura about her. Over the years, countless warriors have fallen under her charm."
"Especially the young prince, Qi Rui from the Qi Wangfu - heâs determined to marry the First Princess."
"Looking at the First Princessâs demeanor, it seems like sheâs heading to the Spirit Sword Sectâs villa."
"Lin Bai is finished then. It appears the First Princess has come specifically to find trouble with him because he injured the Fifth Princess."
"Letâs go and check out whatâs happening at the Spirit Sword Sectâs villa."
Many warriors noticed the First Princessâs movements.
At the Spirit Sword Sectâs residence.
A warrior had come to report earlier that the First Princess was coming. So, Chen Gong waited outside from early on.
Seeing the First Princess coming, Chen Gong greeted with a modest bow, "Your Highness."
Bai Xiaoxiao gave a light smile, "Ah, itâs Senior Chen Gong."
Chen Gong said with a smile, "Itâs been three years since we last met, Princess. Your cultivation has progressed substantially. I suspect youâre about to break into the Sixth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm."
Bai Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, "After the Heavenly Sacrifice at the Year-end Tail Sacrifice, I should be able to break into the Sixth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm."
"That is certainly delightful news," Chen Gong laughed.
"Senior Chen, I came to your Sect today because I heard one of your gifted disciples injured my little sister. I have some time on my hands right now and thought I might ask this individual for some pointers," Bai Xiaoxiao said, smiling.
Thud.
Upon hearing these words, Chen Gong thought to himself: Indeed, theyâre here because Lin Bai injured the Fifth Princess.
"Ha-ha, Princess Chang, this whole thing was just a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding." Chen Gong tried hard to maintain a cheerful expression on his face, after all, the power of the royal family was indeed terrifying.
Considering the current trouble the Spirit Sword Sect was in, it was best to avoid another opponent.
The Fifth Princess angrily said, "Misunderstanding my ass, summon that guy to face me. I wonât be satisfied without getting some payback today."
This..." Chen Gong hesitated as he looked at Princess Chang, Bai Xiaoxiao.
Just then, more and more martial artists gathered outside the Spirit Sword Sectâs residence.
From the crowd, an impressive young man, dressed in embroidered finery, radiating the aura of a person of high rank, handsome and spirited, his sharp features reflecting a charismatic energy, emerged.
"What? Your Spirit Sword Sect committed such a deed, and you dare not admit it?"
The young man approached, his words resonated with firmness and an icy chill.
"Itâs the young prince of the Qi Wangfu."
"Itâs Qi Rui!"
"Heh heh, the rumors from the Imperial Capital are true indeed. Wherever Princess Chang goes, Qi Rui also shows up."
"Greetings, young prince."
"Salutations to the young prince."
"Now that the young prince has arrived, the fate of Lin Bai is sealedâthis young prince is notoriously harsh in the Imperial Capital!"
The appearance of Qi Rui immediately stirred up a commotion amongst the crowd.
Qi Rui was the young prince of the Qi Wangfuâthe primary heir.
The Princeâs Mansion of Qi Wangfu was an immensely powerful dwelling within the Shenwu Kingdom, with over tens of millions of troops.
"Xiaoxiao." Qi Rui looked at Bai Xiaoxiao and softly called out to her.
Bai Xiaoxiao, though a bit impatient, laughed and said, "Why has the young prince come?"
Qi Rui laughed and said, "I heard that Wuâer was injured and thus I came to see her and to see if there was any service I could offer."
"So thatâs it. But donât worry about it, young prince. This minor issue doesnât require your attention," Bai Xiaoxiao maintained her dignified demeanor.
The unrequited affection Qi Rui had for Bai Xiaoxiao was an open secret throughout the Imperial Capital.
However, Bai Xiaoxiao seemed not to be interested in Qi Rui in the slightest, often avoiding him.
"Senior Chen Gong, please summon the fighter who injured Wuâer." Bai Xiaoxiao requested with a smile.
"Yes, let that damn creature come out!" the young prince, Qi Rui, commanded authoritatively.
Chen Gong glanced at Qi Rui with a slightly discontented expression, his face darkened.
"Who wanted to see me?"
Just at that moment, from behind Chen Gong, a soothing voice echoed as a white-robed youth gradually approached.
Upon hearing this voice, Chen Gong instantly turned around, his face filled with anxiety, and asked, "Lin Bai, what are you doing out here? Didnât I tell you, no matter what happened, donât come out?"
The Fifth Princess caught sight of Lin Bai and immediately grabbed Bai Xiaoxiaoâs arm, saying, "Sister, itâs him, heâs the one who injured Wuâer. Sister, you have to avenge me!"
Princess Chang looked at Lin Bai, she hadnât expected at all that the person who injured the Fifth Princess would be Lin Bai.
Princess Chang understood Lin Baiâs capabilities well. If Lin Bai wanted to kill the Fifth Princess, she probably wouldnât be able to stop him even if she was there. Now that the Fifth Princess wasnât dead, it meant Lin Bai must have pulled his punches.
Hearing the Fifth Princessâs voice, Qi Rui immediately turned his angry gaze to Lin Bai and roared, "You little mouse, get over here, kneel down, and apologize."
"Xiaoxiao, donât concern yourself with this matter, let our Qi Wangfu handle this trivial issue. I assure you we will appease Wuâer and satisfy you as well."
"And donât get angry either, for fear it would harm your health."
Qi Rui spoke buttery words to Bai Xiaoxiao.
But Bai Xiaoxiao seemed not to have heard Qi Ruiâs words at all, looking at Lin Bai with a face beaming like a blossoming flower, she joyfully exclaimed, "Lin Bai, itâs been a long time."
"So itâs Princess Chang," Lin Bai said, slightly bowing with his fist in his palm in salute.
