Chapter 918: Chapter 581: Xiaorui Will Thank You Someday, Road Encounter_2

Such a Big Shot coming to the Xi Chu Empire, how could Li Xiaoci not know?

Therefore, in Li Xiaoci’s heart, he believed that Sun Xiaorui was deceiving him.

"Xiaorui, we’ll talk about the Sacred Land disciple matter later, but that Thirteenth Prince, Xiang Ruojun, in our Xi Chu Empire, is considered top talent."

"He’s reached the Peak of Star King Level at such a young age and will soon reach the Star Emperor."

"Moreover, he is the most favored prince by the Emperor of the Xi Chu Empire. When the Emperor retires to practice at Sky Domain Immortal Traces, the throne will surely be passed to the Thirteenth Prince."

"By then, you’ll be the mother of a nation, far better than being a disciple of a Sacred Land that you can’t even see."

Because Li Xiaoci was convinced that Sun Xiaorui’s mention of a Sacred Land disciple was just her prevaricating him, he naturally held no good feelings towards the so-called "Sacred Land disciples."

Moreover, Li Xiaoci had inquired about the General Mountain Holy Land for some time.

Although it is indeed one of the Nine Great Sacred Lands, the strength of General Mountain cannot compare to Refining Star Mountain, and the key is the remote geographical location, so even taking a Gale Flying Boat from Refining Star Mountain to General Mountain would take decades.

The Gale Flying Boat is rather an inferior model of flying boat from Refining Star Mountain, although to people from the subordinate dynasty, it is already the most advanced flying boat.

As for the Cloud-Soaring Flying Boat, that is simply not something ordinary people can buy, nor can they even access the information channel about the Cloud-Soaring Flying Boat.

"Master, you don’t need to say anymore, I have already decided in my heart; I will never marry that Xiang Ruojun."

Sun Xiaorui was firm in her heart.

With her perspective, in a previous life, she was also at the level of the Star Dust General of General Mountain. Even if she didn’t cultivate in the Sacred Land, in an ordinary dynasty or Sect, she would be a top-notch figure.

Just an emperor or a prince of the Xi Chu Empire, she did not take him seriously.

"You stubborn girl, you really are too obstinate."

"Our Wild Blade Clan is currently within Xi Chu Empire. The local official is no match for the current manager. Even if what you say is true, and there’s really a Sacred Land disciple from General Mountain who is fond of you, can he command the Xi Chu Empire?"

"And even the distance from General Mountain to here is several decades apart. Even if you send a message now, he wouldn’t be able to arrive in time."

"By that time, if the Emperor is enraged and decides to execute all of us in the Wild Blade Clan, even if Master dies, that’s nothing to fear, but there are still so many junior brothers, junior sisters, Elders, and stewards in the Sect. Can you bear to watch them die in front of you?"

Failing at one scheme, Li Xiaoci attempted to use the Sect’s righteousness to pressure Sun Xiaorui into submission.

After all, she is a girl, and as long as he said this, Sun Xiaorui would surely soften her heart.

"..."

Sun Xiaorui remained silent.

Li Xiaoci waited outside the door for a long time without receiving a response. He could only sigh helplessly and stumble back to the front hall.

In the front hall, an old man dressed in a purple robe was waiting.

This old man was an official of rank one in the Xi Chu Empire, a Mid-level Star Emperor Strongman, Lu Wanshi.

Besides this identity, Lu Wanshi was also the enlightenment teacher of the Thirteenth Prince, Xiang Ruojun.

This time, for Xiang Ruojun’s matter, Lu Wanshi was also tirelessly visiting this Yishan Bieyuan every day.

"Sect Leader Li, did Miss Xiaorui agree?"

"No."

Li Xiaoci forced a bitter smile, shook his head, and sat down below Lu Wanshi.

"Still not?"

"This Miss Xiaorui truly has a fierce temper."

"But to delay like this, the Prince’s state of mind will be unsettled, and his time to advance to Star Emperor might be postponed."

"The golden cultivation time for a Martial Artist is limited. If everything goes smoothly, with the mind’s wishes fulfilled, they can advance rapidly and invincibly."

"But if this matter drags on too long, even if Miss Xiaorui agrees later, the Prince’s heart will surely have flaws."

"Sect Leader Li, let me say one more thing."

"Previously, that Elder Wen from Sky Domain Immortal Traces came to our Xi Chu State and was amazed to see the Thirteenth Prince, saying he had the potential to advance to Star Emperor."

"That is a Star Emperor. Our Xi Chu, in countless years since its establishment, the highest level ever reached by emperors is only the Star Emperor Peak, not one strong man of Star Emperor has ever emerged."

"If the Thirteenth Prince can ascend to Star Emperor in the future, our Xi Chu Empire at least can become a powerful force comparable to Sky Domain Immortal Traces."

"What?"

"Elder Wen visited before?"

Li Xiaoci was greatly surprised.

It’s not surprising for him to be so astonished.

That Elder Wen was a person Li Xiaoci couldn’t curry favor with no matter how much he tried previously.

Although he usually called him Elder Wen, Elder Wen is already a Big Shot at the Star Emperor Level, and in Sky Domain Immortal Traces, he is one of the three Supreme Elders.

He wields unmatched power and invincible ability.

He actually thought highly of Xiang Ruojun’s future prospects of ascending to Star Emperor, this... no one had said this information before.

"Of course."

Lu Wanshi said without changing his expression, though he was actually sweating internally.

The last time Elder Wen came to the Xi Chu Empire was when Xiang Chu ascended the throne to become the emperor. Even if he came, he just made a brief appearance and left; he didn’t even praise the Thirteenth Prince, let alone see Xiang Chu.

But now, to increase the stakes, Lu Wanshi had no choice but to say this once.

"Sect Leader Li, the matter between the Thirteenth Prince and Miss Xiaorui still needs your caring attention."

Lu Wanshi said earnestly.

Listening to this, Li Xiaoci felt determined in his heart, and he looked at Lu Wanshi and said, "Lord Lu, I have an idea..."

"In my early years of traveling, I acquired a little trinket that helps with interest, called Blushing Waves. How about we find an opportunity to give it to Xiaorui to take, and then invite the Thirteenth Prince over?"

"By then, when the raw rice is cooked, she will have no choice but to accept."

"No, absolutely not!"

Lu Wanshi stood up in shock.

He examined Li Xiaoci in front of him from top to bottom.

He hadn’t expected that this Li Xiaoci, who seemed gentle and affable, was so ruthless at heart.

He would even lay hands on his own disciple.

The key is, using this method to have Xiang Ruojun get Sun Xiaorui, Xiang Ruojun’s mind might not only fail to be completely resolved, but even bigger flaws might appear.

He is a genius, after all. Xiang Ruojun needs to rely on such methods to obtain Sun Xiaorui.

Such actions might lead to a breakdown in his state of mind, making advancement to Star Emperor naturally impossible, and might even cause regression in his cultivation level.

"Sect Leader Li, such words must never be spoken again in the future. The Thirteenth Prince is from the Da Chu royal family, a super genius with hopes of advancing to the Star Emperor Realm, how can we use such means."

"This matter should not be mentioned again."

"But then, what should we do..."

"This doesn’t work, and that doesn’t work, and Xiaorui is too stubborn. By the time it delays the Prince’s advancement to Star Emperor, what can we do?"

Li Xiaoci was also left speechless.

He really couldn’t think of a solution.

He could only throw the problem back to Lu Wanshi.

"This... I actually do have a plan... Miss Xiaorui is a good person with a kind heart... if we go like this... she will definitely... after the two get married, we can revisit this matter..."

"Alas, poor me, for the sake of the younger generation, I have to make this decision."

"Lord Lu truly has foresight, I admire you."

"Lord Lu, don’t worry, after following the Thirteenth Prince, Xiaorui will surely understand your well-intentioned concern, and she might even personally serve you tea, calling you ’teacher’." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Enough, enough. This matter ultimately isn’t something a gentleman should do, but for Ruojun’s sake, I will make an exception."

After saying this, Lu Wanshi left immediately.

On the way back to the city, he caught sight of a handsome young man in the horse carriage.

With a slight sense, it was the Star Lord Peak.

Lu Wanshi was intrigued by this; the young man appeared quite young but reached the Star Lord Peak. He seemed to look like another genius youth, perhaps comparable to Xiang Ruojun.

"You all, remember that young man’s appearance, and inquire about him later."

"Yes, Lord Lu."

A few guards dressed in red left as they received the command.

Lu Lin also looked up, gazing in Lu Wanshi’s direction.

A rather aged man, yet full of a scholarly aura.

Noticing Lu Lin’s gaze, Lu Wanshi gave him a smile before proceeding towards the Imperial Palace.
