News about Murong Ye"s defeat spread out throughout the palace. The disciples never expected this defeat occurred after Yun Che and Retsu entry to the palace. Even though his strength didn"t compare like the True Profound Realm inner disciples and Spirit Profound Realm disciples, he was still considered a genius beneath the Nascent Profound Realm.

Somewhere in the New Moon Profound Palace

Aside from Murong Ye, there is certain someone in the palace who hated them more than him.

*BOOM

A table in the room suddenly crushed to pieces by a middle age man.

"d.a.m.n it, Curse those two. How dare they insult me in front of the audience like that. I swear….i swear to kill them."

A middle age man used his punch to shatter the table expressing his anger. The man was none other than the Supreme Elder of the New Moon Profound Palace, Wu Nie. Yun Che stood up to him this morning and insulting his disciple and grandson in front of the audience. Not only he was unable to exert justice to them but he was ridiculed as well.

"But, the technique that little girl used to defeat the Ah Yan this morning. It carries no profound energy and it was invisible. That girl could kill him without he even noticed." All of a sudden a flash of greed suddenly enters his eyes.

"Before I have them killed, I must squeeze that technique from her. That skill will allow me to kill anyone I please without them even noticing." He suddenly laughs sinisterly before calling his beloved grandson to the room.

New Moon Profound Palace inner disciple residence.

After the recent news and rumors circulating around the palace. No one dares to disturb Yun Che, Retsu and Yuanba during their visit to the food hall. Usually, in common Wuxia novel. They were usually picked by stuck up young masters but now, people are whispering but didn"t dare to talk to them.

Yun Che and Retsu as well as Yuanba were on their way back. Yuanba couldn"t even register on his mind the recent events happening to them from morning until now. As for Yun Che and Retsu, they had their fill during their visit to the food hall. However, they are also created another ruckus while in there.

"I told you we make the chef fainted after ordering our meal." Yun Che said flatly walking back to the residence.

"Ara…ara, looks like we eat a little too much back then, young master." Retsu was happily walked beside him while holding his hand.

"Yeah, we didn"t order but hall didn"t expect we ate that much."

"Brother in law, where do you keep all that food?" Xia Yuanba was still following them from behind.

A moment ago, in the food hall

Whispers are heard from every disciple in the hall. Yun Che"s group didn"t mind any rumors going on around them as long as they"re minding their own business. They walked through the hall feelings eyes are on them everywhere they go, especially Retsu. Since she was the one flicking that man thot, she was the center of attention as well as being ogled by the male disciples in the hall.


"So what"s on the menu?" Yun Che asked Yuanba in a puzzle.

"Since we"re you"re an inner disciple, brother in law, you can order dishes cooked using profound beasts. We outer disciples have limited order on what we can eat." Yuanba explains to him.

"Really…. Then we"ll take…" Before they could even finish speaking. All of a sudden bunches of orders started to flock to their table creating pile of food on their table. One by one orders arriving and creating pile after pile of food. By looking at it, it was impossible for any man or woman to finish this pile of food on the table.

"Hey, we didn"t even order this." Yuanba tried to talk to the waiter.

"But, it was registered to your table. "The waiter answer with an innocent tone indicating he just did his job delivering the food.

"Wha…. Who did…?" He could hear someone snickering from the tables behind them. They came from the inner disciples" section. Turns out, not every newborn star is well liked among the disciples.

"Chee, brother in law. Looks like someone really dislike you for being here. Let"s return these food to them so we can….." When Yuanba looked at Yun Che"s table, he was shocked. Beyond shocked because the food on the table was gone. Totally gone. All that"s left was a stack of plates near Yun Che as well as Retsu.

"Thank you for the food." Retsu said politely.

"Man, that hit the spot." Yun Che said while rubbing his stomach.

The rest of the disciples and Yuanba were gawking after seeing them. Even the chef fainted after cooking so much food for them. The ones ordering their food have themselves to blame for playing themselves .

Yun Che and Retsu made their way to the inner disciples" residence followed by Yuanba. When they arrived they actually found a female figure was already sitting with her back facing them in the middle of their courtyard. Yun Che"s group observed the figure thoroughly and found out that figure was….

"Yue Chu?" Yun Che said because he recognized that figure. Since Yuanba was here, he used her alternate name to avoid any questions came from him.

"*Sigh, you two really cause a lot of trouble in this place." Little Fairy was sitting still meditating near the lake. He heard the circulating rumors around the palace. She just sighs as well as ignore them because she expected this from the beginning.

"Well, things weren"t goes as planned but at least we got the job done." He said with a grin on his face.

"Nice place we have here young master. Shame we can"t stay for a month though." Retsu expressed her disappointment to him.

"By the way, you have a pest following you just now." Little Fairy suddenly pulled someone from behind the tree in a courtyard. The person fell down in front of them and staring at all of them with begging eyes. That someone was bound by a rope and was gagged with a white cloth. She was tied with Little Fairy"s rope. Something even a Peak Earth Profound Realm can"t break. The surprising part is the person has a long fuchsia hair similar to….

"Senior sister?!?" Yuanba was the first one to react. He never expected the one being tied and gagged was actually their dazzling senior sister Lan Xueruo.

Yun Che was speechless. He never expected her out all of the people getting caught by Little Fairy. The Princess of the Blue Wind Empire was caught and gagged by Little Fairy. This was not something he could see every day.

"Sister Xueruo? What are you doing here?" He said while shook his head. Retsu was giggling seeing Xueruo being bound like a thief.

"Hmm…mmm…mmm" Lan Xueruo made a sound through the cloth on her mouth.

"Oh sorry about that." Yun Che went to her and pulled the white cloth tied to her mouth.

"Junior brother Yun, I wasn"t following you or anything. I was taking a stroll until I was caught by this woman. I couldn"t fight her and she tied me to a tree." She immediately made excuses to avoid being punished by them.

"Senior sister, what are doing here actually?" Yun Che asked her ignoring her excuse.

"Uhhh, I was walking?" She said while shifting her beautiful eyes sideways.

"Senior sister, you"re bad at lying." Retsu said while smiling at her, causing Lan Xuorue to shiver down her spine.

"Urrgghh, Okay, I wanted to thank you for defeating Murong Ye but I wanted to warn you about his father. That"s all. Please don"t hurt me." She plead them to spare her. She knew what she did was wrong but you will do anything to avoid being sentence.

"Wait? That"s it? You don"t have to snooping around to tell me that. Like I said to him, no matter how strong his father or his backing. I"ll send them all to h.e.l.l if they dare to offend me." He said that at the same time untying the rope around her.

"But junior brother, you don"t understand. His father…." She tried to talk him over into escaping the city. Once his father found out, Yun Che will be in a lot of trouble, That include Retsu as well.

"Is the governor of the city right? You think mere Earth Profound Realm had the means of stopping me?"

Lan Xueruo was speechless. She never expected him to say that. It means he had a backer of a Sky Profound Realm warrior? Then, who is this junior brother of hers?

Retsu immediately helped her up while Little Fairy stand on the side. She arrived here moments ago waiting for Yun Che and she noticed someone was actually looking at his residence like a suspicious person. When she found her, Lan Xueruo started to ran away but she caught her anyway. She tried to ask her about her action but she was too afraid to tell her anything. In the end she tied her while waiting for Yun Che to come back. He was quite relieved because knowing her personality, she could have killed her. In the end she spared her life waiting for him to come back. Maybe she noticed Lan Xuorue wasn"t a bad person at all.

"Senior sister, since you"re here. Can you tell me who you really are?" Yun Che said to her earning a curious glance from Yuanba, Retsu and Little Fairy.

"Who is she, Young master?" Retsu asked him curiously. This senior sister of hers must have an exquisite ident.i.ty to have the attention of Yun Che.

Lan Xuorue was shocked because she hid her cover perfectly. No one would ever notice anything out of the ordinary.

"What are you talking about junior brother? I am still your senior sister Lan Xuorue. Hahaha"

"Maybe we should keep the rope on her."

"Let"s tied her to the tree and tickle her feet until she pa.s.sed out. Young master."

"Good idea, Retsu."

"Uhhh…uhh..junior brother…Please don"t…Okay. I"ll tell you…I"ll tell you…" She defended herself quickly. There"s no way she could escape from them and that woman who just caught her.

She was on her knees in fear of being tickled. However, she talked anyway. The main reason she wanted to talk was she felt she could actually trust Yun Che and Retsu. "*Sigh, I am actually not a disciple of this palace. I was here to look after it until the banquet three weeks from now. I wanted to partic.i.p.ate the banquet to help the Palace survive the hara.s.sment of the city"s power."

"Actually… I am…" She hesitated for a while but before she could even speak. Someone finish it for her.

"The Princess of the Blue Wind Empire. Am I right?" Earning a shocking glance from Yuanba and Little Fairy.

Lan Xuorue looked at Yun Che as if she seen a ghost. She never expected him to know out of all places. She thought he was making a while guess back then but in the end, he was right on the spot. She didn"t say anything but she heard Yun Che spoke to her.

"Come come senior sister. A n.o.ble lady like you must have an important reason to be here. Beautiful, n.o.ble, humble and outer disciple at that. Cheap theatrical facade, I am not buying all that." Yun Che spoke with confidence but actually he read about her in the system"s Trivia. Actually what she said just now is only one part of her story. He didn"t want to pry on it. He wanted her to be the one telling him willingly.

"Moreover, I sense your cultivation is higher than you are right now. Why would someone stay as an outer disciple rather than being an inner disciple. Probably because you don"t want any attention focus on you."

"But, I used a necklace to seal my Profound Strength. How could you possibly know?" Lan Xuorue holding her necklace to show it to them. Her True cultivation was at third level of the True Profound Realm. However, she make it appear as the Eight Level of the Nascent Profound Realm to cloud everyone"s mind.

"Well, I am kind of a miracle doctor myself though." He said while grinning earning a speechless gaze from her.

She sighs and said "You"re right junior brother Yun. I am the Princess of the Blue Wind Empire. The reason I was here was to scout out geniuses in order to represent my palace during the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament a half a year from now."

"I think I finally found the geniuses I seek." All of a sudden, she bowed to them discarding her role as a princess of the empire.

"Junior brother Yun Che and Junior sister Retsu, please represent the Blue Wind Profound Palace in the tournament." When she scouted them before, she used her special profound art which is able to scout a person"s talent. She found out that these two had the most talent out of anyone in the palace. She wanted to do anything to recruit them into her palace.

Yuanba was quite shocked on the development. He never expected his senior sister from the same cla.s.s is a princess. Moreover, she bowed to his brother in law, begging them to help her. Something a princess shouldn"t do.

Yun Che and Retsu were speechless. A princess bowed down just to ask them a favor. They didn"t expect this. All they wanted to do was to tease her but she bowed to them. A royal family would never do something like this even if it kills them. But, she actually bowed to them.

As for Little Fairy, she just observed them. Not have the slightest feeling to intervene. However, a member of the royal family is here out of all places. That is something you didn"t see everyday.

"Senior sister, please stand up. We were teasing you just now. Please stop bowing." Retsu suddenly went to her and ask her to stand up. But, she refused to move and said "Please accept my invitation. Junior brother and sister."

"Young master?" Retsu looked at Yun Che with pleading eyes.

Yun Che walked closer to her and gently force her to stand up. He looked at her beautiful eyes and said "Even if you didn"t invite us, we planned to join the tournament anyway." Yun Che wanted to join the tournament. Not for the glory of the palace or himself. It is because he wanted to meet his wife, Xia Qingyue.

"We"ll represent your palace. On one condition." Lan Xuorue looked at Yun Che and have the only thing in her mind. "If he desires my body, then I"ll do it for the sake of the empire."

Yun Che who was oblivious just tapped her shoulder and smile. "Just tell us your real name and you got yourself a deal."

Lan Xuorue was shocked and immediately regained her composure. She stood up as n.o.bly as possible and introduce herself.

"My name is Cang Yue, Blue Moon Princess of the Blue Wind Empire." She said while bowing her head introducing her to the rest of the party. Earning a smile for Retsu, a nod of acknowledgment from Little Fairy and a shocking gaze from Yuanba.

[Ding…. Triggering the main mission. Represent the Blue Wind Profound Palace in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament half a year from now. Reward: Two Wisdom Cubes, Experience points and System Points. Hadō #88. Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō ("Dragon Strike Heaven-Shaking Lightning Cannon") and Bakudo #81 Danku (Airtight) Main mission achievement: One for all and all for one.

After the system triggers the main mission. Yun Che accepted her proposal with a thumbs up. Cang Yue not knowing what the gesture really means accept it with a smile.

"Then let"s not keep ourselves cold out here. Let"s enter the manor. Retsu, prepare us some tea. Make it special since our guest is a princess." Yun Che helps Cang Yue to stand up.

"Hai, Young master." Retsu happily walk to the kitchen to prepare some tea for her special guest.

"Junior brother, please keep my ident.i.ty a secret. I must not reveal my ident.i.ty to anyone here. The only one who knows is the headmaster himself. As for everyone, please keep quiet about it." Cang Yue plead him with her beautiful eyes and hands.

"Don"t worry, Senior sister. Your secret safe with us. You can come back here anytime you want. We"re friends anyway." Yun Che said with a bright smile. earning a blush from her.

"Friends?" Cang Yue was quite surprised. She never had any friend before. Most of the people wanted to talk to her because she was the dazzling pearl underneath the true profound realm. She always wanted to have a real friend rather than fakes disguising themselves as friends.

"Yes, Let"s go, Tea is almost ready." Yun Che left followed by Little Fairy and Yuanba. As he left her side, she was conflicting inside. She just revealed her ident.i.ty but Yun Che didn"t even treat her like a senior or princess. He treated her like a friend, Her father once said that "When a man treated you like a someone special, discarding your status, beauty or value. That one is the rarest among all man. Don"t let that one off your sight." When she remembered it. She looked at Yun Che"s retreating back and a blush suddenly appeared on her face.
