Chapter 917: Chapter 581: Xiao Rui Will Thank You Someday, Encounter on the Road

Outside Jingzhou Mansion.

Yishan Bieyuan.

This is the location of the Wild Blade Clan’s Sect Master Li Xiaoci.

"Xiaorui, have you considered it?"

Li Xiaoci stood outside the door and asked softly.

Half a month had passed, but Sun Xiaorui, like a stubborn bull, neither ate nor drank, nor did she give him a definite reply.

If it were something ordinary, Li Xiaoci would surely tolerate Sun Xiaorui’s antics.

But this time, this time is different.

For his future development, Li Xiaoci had managed to curry favor with an elder of the Sky Domain Immortal Traces, but no matter how he tried, in the other’s eyes he was just a negligible figure.

Throughout these years, he had been actively spreading the word in the Xi Chu Empire, hoping that the elder might reluctantly acknowledge the matter.

He didn’t even need recognition, just not rebutting when others inquire would suffice.

Li Xiaoci had been stuck at the Star King Peak cultivation for more than ten thousand years.

Originally, he was also a genius, but without inheritance, without resources.

With great difficulty, he established a sect, but now he had to be responsible for so many sect disciples.

Previously, he let Sun Xiaorui and various direct disciples compete for the position of sect master because Li Xiaoci was tired; he wanted to entrust the sect so he could be unburdened and strive for his own future.

Unexpectedly, when the East didn’t shine, the West did.

He made efforts within Jingzhou Mansion, yet no news came from that elder of the Sky Domain Immortal Traces.

Instead, it was the emperor of the Xi Chu Empire, Xiang Chu, who was very interested in the Wild Blade Clan.

Of course, Xiang Chu was truly interested not in the Wild Blade Clan nor in Li Xiaoci, but in his Thirteenth Prince, Xiang Ruojun.

Xiang Ruojun, the genius of the Xiang Family, had powerfully promoted to Star King a thousand years ago, and after roaming outside for a hundred years, he returned to the Xi Chu Empire with his cultivation reaching the Star King Peak.

With years of accumulation, he would soon be able to promote to the Star Emperor Boundary.

With such talent and ability, he was surely the unmatchable choice for the successor of the Xi Chu Empire.

Previously during his travels, Xiang Ruojun had accidentally met Sun Xiaorui and was instantly amazed.

With his discerning eyes, he couldn’t possibly be interested in ordinary women.

Sun Xiaorui’s unique temperament and cool gaze made Xiang Ruojun unable to forget after just one glance.

But it was a fleeting encounter, and Xiang Ruojun spent great effort but could not gather any information about Sun Xiaorui, regretfully letting it go.

Recently, as Xiang Ruojun was about to promote to Star Emperor,

he felt a slight lack in his mindset.

After careful investigation, he realized it was the matter of Sun Xiaorui back then that hindered his smooth promotion to the Star Emperor Boundary.

Having reported this to his father Xiang Chu, Xiang Chu ordered the entire Chu State to search for Sun Xiaorui’s whereabouts.

Yet over more than a decade, not a hint of information about Sun Xiaorui was obtained.

After all, based solely on the fantastical image in Xiang Ruojun’s mind, without even knowing if it matched Sun Xiaorui’s appearance, trying to find the person was as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Then, just recently, Xiang Chu suddenly received information and finally found Sun Xiaorui’s details.

Secretly taking Xiang Ruojun to the Wild Blade Clan to see Sun Xiaorui, Xiang Ruojun was ecstatic.

"Father Emperor, it’s her, it’s her, she is the goddess my soul yearns for."

Xiang Ruojun’s demeanor made Xiang Chu be even more cautious.

Although he was the emperor of the Chu State, he wouldn’t outright violate the law and order Sun Xiaorui to be captured.

He hoped his son could have a suitable Dao Companion, rather than just capturing any woman.

After careful investigation, Xiang Chu was also amazed at Sun Xiaorui’s level of genius.

What was said was actually true. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Sun Xiaorui had been cultivating for less than a hundred years, yet she had reached the Star Lord Peak, her talent was not inferior to his son at all.

A match made in heaven, this is unquestionably a match made in heaven.

In the future, with Sun Xiaorui’s assistance, Xiang Ruojun could surely make great progress.

A candidate for a princess.

Learning that the Wild Blade Clan Sect Master Li Xiaoci had a residence just outside Jingzhou Mansion, Xiang Chu ordered someone to make contact and meet.

In the past few days, Sun Xiaorui received the sect leader’s summon, precisely to discuss this matter.

However, she already has her heart set, how could she be willing to follow a prince from a small country.

Especially someone she hadn’t even heard of before.

"Master."

Sun Xiaorui’s cool voice came from inside the room.

"I have already said that I am already devoted to someone; he is a disciple of the General Mountain Holy Land and will soon come to the Xi Chu Empire."

"You don’t need to rush to marry me off like this."

"Moreover, if you need higher cultivation methods, I can ask him to help you find it, why hang on this one tree in the Xi Chu State."

Li Xiaoci heard this from Sun Xiaorui, and he didn’t know how many times he had heard it.

If it were others, he might not understand, but Sun Xiaorui, his direct disciple, since entering the clan, had never gone down the mountain even once.

Even though she had achieved considerable cultivation over the years and traveled with clan disciples to battle across regions, she had never had close encounters with any man, how could she have a favored candidate.

Besides, the person is said to be a disciple of the Holy Land.

This is simply a joke.

Strictly speaking, his Wild Blade Clan belongs to one of the many sects within the Xi Chu Empire, while the Xi Chu Empire is one of the many empires controlled by the Sky Domain Immortal Traces, and the Sky Domain Immortal Traces, within the Refining Star Mountain Holy Land, is merely one of its numerous subordinate forces.

A disciple from the Refining Star Mountain, any one of them coming to the Xi Chu Empire, would have Xiang Chu treat them like a Supreme Emperor.
