Chapter 441: Princess Causes Trouble

The guards heard that the Ninth Princess wanted to play at kidnapping, and they all froze.

Their hearts were about to collapse at this moment!

"Who would just show up to be kidnapped!"

However, they didn't dare to defy the willful princess's order, or else they'd have trouble when they returned; but even if they went back like this, the royal family wouldn't spare them. They all secretly lamented their ill fate, how they ended up with such a willful master.

Lao Wu also looked pleadingly at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun had no choice but to coax her again, saying: "Then go back and first cultivate to the Heavenly Gang Realm; after that I'll kidnap you to a Secret Realm for adventure. Anyway, you can find me anytime now, so I'm not afraid of running away. Also, when you go back, check whether what I just said is true, and by the way help me get revenge! Those three Heavenly Gang Seventh Layer experts almost killed me!"

Ye Liuyun saying this was actually just to find more excuses to get her to go back.

"What? They almost killed you? Fine, I'll go back and avenge you! Wait for me—I'll come find you once I've cultivated to the Heavenly Gang Realm!"

Saying that, the Ninth Princess bounced away from the Qingcheng Branch.

Ye Liuyun let out another sigh, not knowing how to fend off the princess next time she came.

Besides, the Ninth Princess's breakthrough was really fast—last time I saw she was at Golden Core Eighth Level, and now she's already at Golden Core Ninth Level Mid Stage. It seems she must have obtained some cultivation resources from the royal palace.

Seeing this, Piao Yun couldn't help but laugh, thinking to herself: "Our branch chief is really something—he's even bewitched the Ninth Princess of the Golden Peng Dynasty!"

Ye Liuyun looked at her helplessly and smiled: "Tell the Vice Sect Leader for me, so that no one with ill intent later accuses me of colluding with the enemy."

"Yes!" Piao Yun covered her mouth, stifling laughter, and replied. After returning, she really told Jing Wudi. She felt Ye Liuyun's caution was reasonable—big trees attract wind, and this matter could easily be exploited by those with ulterior motives.

And after the Ninth Princess returned, she really set out to avenge Ye Liuyun.

However, the three Martial Cultivators of Heavenly Gang Seventh Layer who had originally gone to kill Ye Liuyun were already dead, so she ended up taking her anger out on the Golden Peng. I don't know where she got the poison, but she directly poisoned the Crown Prince's Golden Peng to death!

This time, the Ninth Princess really stirred up big trouble. The Golden Peng is the symbol of the Golden Peng Dynasty; the Crown Prince immediately memorialized the throne, demanding punishment for the princess. In the end, the Golden Peng King directly confined the princess and ordered her to be married off.

Who would have thought, the Ninth Princess wasn't scared at all—she got excited instead. She told Lao Wu: "Lao Wu, go tell Brother Liuyun to come rescue me! Let him play the hero saving the beauty, then elope with me—this will definitely be thrilling."

Lao Wu almost spat blood hearing this. "Princess, if Ye Liuyun enters the Royal Palace to rescue you, he could very well die here. There are too many experts inside the palace. Moreover, they were originally planning to kill him, and now he's delivering himself to their door—how could they spare him?"

"What should I do? I don't want to marry someone I don't like. I don't care—this trouble I caused while avenging him, you hurry and have him think of a way to save me! If he doesn't come to rescue me, I'll kill myself!" the princess said willfully.

"Well... alright, I'll go inform Young Master Ye." Lao Wu had no choice but to make the trip to tell Ye Liuyun. However, he didn't believe Ye Liuyun would dare come to the Royal Palace to save someone.

Moreover, he knew very well that Ye Liuyun didn't like the princess at all, always just coaxing her—how could he come to the Royal Palace to save her for her sake? That would be throwing away his life.

When Lao Wu ran to Ye Liuyun and said that, sure enough, Ye Liuyun also had a bewildered expression.

"Let me go to the Royal Palace to save her? Old Wu, do you think I could even get out alive if I went there?"

"Young Master Ye, I'm just passing on the princess's words. You've not only stopped her from causing trouble many times, but also urged her to cultivate diligently. I know gratitude, so I'm thanking you on her behalf here!" Lao Wu said, and actually wanted Ye Liuyun to bow.

"Then why are you here?" Ye Liuyun didn't quite understand what Lao Wu was doing.

"I have been the princess's dark guard since her birth, responsible for protecting her safety, and it's already been sixteen years. I can say I've watched her grow up. Although I know asking you to save her is impossible, and from the royal perspective this isn't really a punishment. The princess is already at the age to be married off.

But since the princess asked me to deliver her words, I still have to pass them on. After the princess marries out, I can set down this duty and can no longer guard her—just consider this my final effort for her."

Ye Liuyun also nodded, then asked with some worry: "The princess might just be young and a bit willful, right? But she said she would kill herself—would she really do it?"

This princess is not only willful but also recklessly bold, and Ye Liuyun really fears she might actually go through with suicide.

"Well..." Ye Liuyun asked, and Lao Wu actually didn't dare to say. He had originally thought he could seal the princess's True Essence. But thinking that the princess, usually so willful, if she really went mad, she might even dare to attack him. "I'll try to assign more people to watch her!" Lao Wu said, also having no choice but to keep an eye on her as much as possible.

Ye Liuyun never said he would go rescue the palace lord, but he still secretly left a Divine Sense mark on Lao Wu, so it could be used if needed in the future.

Ye Liuyun suddenly felt the princess was also rather pitiful. Surely no one had disciplined her from childhood, which is why she became so spoiled and willful.

He thought the matter of the Ninth Princess was thus settled.

Unexpectedly, the next day Lao Wu came to find him again.

"After I went back yesterday to tell the princess what you said, she took poison and tried to kill herself that very night. She has now been rescued."

Lao Wu told Ye Liuyun with a mournful face.

"Ah? You directly told him I'm not going to rescue her? Can't you just make up a lie to fool her?"

Ye Liuyun also hated this Lao Wu—he can't even fabricate a lie to deceive a little girl.

"Just passing on the truth is my habit. It's too late to say this now. I think you should still go rescue her; otherwise, even if you seal her True Essence, she might still cook up some mischief!" Lao Wu said, feeling wronged.

Ye Liuyun was practically going crazy!

"What kind of nonsense is this! Things were fine, and now you're making me go to the Royal Palace to steal the princess!"

Lao Wu didn't say more, directly handing over a set of guard uniforms and armor to Ye Liuyun: "Wear this outfit, and I can bring you inside."

Ye Liuyun looked at the uniform, then at Lao Wu: "Open your Sea of Consciousness, let me check if there's any problem."

Upon hearing this, Lao Wu also knew he was worried someone had plotted against him. He immediately opened his Sea of Consciousness, allowing Ye Liuyun to perform a Soul Search.
