Heaven Slaying Blade

The last time Chu Mo saw the princess was at the New Year's Eve banquet.

At that time, Shen Xingxue had said she would come to see him. But afterwards, there was no movement at all. Chu Mo did not think much about it; for him, it was better if the princess did not come looking for him.

Now at this sensitive moment, she suddenly showed up at his doorstep and moreover... she came to a place like the Gluttonous Pavilion, seeking an audience with Chu Mo directly. It was obvious that she knew Chu Mo was here.

Miao Yi Niang stood up and said softly, "The princess has come to see you, you can't refuse. I'll withdraw for a moment."

Chu Mo waved his hand, "No need, she came at this time, she definitely didn't just come to see me. Let's meet her together."

Having said that, Chu Mo directed the maid outside to invite Shen Xingxue up.

Very soon, the door was knocked and a maiden led a girl wrapped in a thick veil into the room. After the girl was ushered into the room, the servant withdrew and closed the door.

At this time, the girl took off her veil, revealing a beautiful young face with bright eyes and white teeth.

Firstly, she looked at Miao Yi Niang and slightly curtseyed, "Is this Sister Miao Yi Niang? I am Shen Xingxue, greetings."

Chu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. He noticed that Shen Xingxue referred to herself as 'a young girl'...and she curtsied first, showing she did not see herself as a princess. Otherwise, she should be waiting for Miao Yi Niang to bow to her first.

Miao Yi Niang hesitated for a moment, then gave her curtsy in return and smiled, "Your Highness is too courteous, I apologize for not receiving you from afar."

Shen Xingxue's face turned slightly red, "Sister, please don't be formal with me, nor treat me as a princess. If you don't mind, call me 'sister', Xingxue will be very happy."

After saying this, she glanced at Chu Mo and then spoke softly, "I came here this time to apologize to both of you!"

"Apologize? What are you talking about, dear sister?" Miao Yi Niang came to Shen Xingxue, helping her onto the seat and then personally poured her a cup of tea.

Shen Xingxue held the tea cup with both hands, her face displaying a fearful expression, she glanced at Chu Mo and then said, "You see, Young Master Chu is still upset, I know why. I came here just because of that matter."

Chu Mo took a glance at Shen Xingxue and said indifferently, "This matter has nothing to do with the princess. If the princess is trying to repay a favor, there's no need to do so." Although Chu Mo's attitude was somewhat cold, he was considering Shen Xingxue's feelings and did not want to involve this unassuming girl.

Shen Xingxue carefully glanced at Chu Mo and whispered, "This is something my father did wrong. He shouldn't have done that. Young master, you have been very kind to me, and I know you are not an ambitious person."

Chu Mo was slightly taken aback and then gave a bitter smile, "But your father might not think so."

Shen Xingxue shook her head slightly, "Actually, father... he also believes in the young master, it's just... just..."

"Just that as a king, he is used to having everything under his control, isn't he?" Miao Yi Niang said quietly.

"Yes, that's the case, but I think there is no need for my father to do such a thing." Shen Xingxue looked at Miao Yi Niang seriously, "I have a solution that can resolve this issue."

"Oh?" Miao Yi Niang looked at Shen Xingxue.

Shen Xingxue spoke softly, "My sect is a hidden one, truly detached from the worldly matters. In the sect, no disciple walks in the world. Moreover, they won't care about the Piaomiao Palace inheritance on Sister Yiniang. My master... is the sect leader, she is really good to me, and I could bring sister into my sect. In this way, this issue should be resolved."

Chu Mo shook his head, "This way, you won't be able to truly solve the problem."

Miao Yi Niang also said, "The news has already been released. As the royal family, they can't lose trust. Therefore, the establishment of the Piaomiao Palace Royal Academy is inevitable."

Shen Xingxue looked at Miao Yi Niang, and said softly, "Sister and the Young Master are truly good people, still thinking about the royal reputation at this time. Actually, you could do this: sister could leave those inheritances to Young Master Chu, and after the establishment of the academy, you could follow me."

"What about your emperor father then?" Chu Mo looked at Shen Xingxue and said indifferently, "That imperial command... could it be voided?"

Shen Xingxue nodded earnestly: "As long as sister comes with me to that sect, my father's decree will naturally be cancelled."

At this moment, Miao Yi Niang looked at Shen Xingxue and asked, "May I know which sect it is?"

Shen Xingxue replied softly, "Immortal."

Chu Mo was fine as he had not heard this name before, so his reaction was normal.

But Miao Yi Niang became suddenly stunned. A hint of astonishment flashed across her delicate face as she looked at Shen Xingxue, "That Immortal?"

Shen Xingxue nodded, "In this world, there should be only one Immortal."

"My goodness…" Miao Yi Niang could not help but exclaim in surprise, and then muttered, "No wonder... you are so confident…after all…it is Immortal. Indeed, only this sect could have the audacity to say they do not care about Piaomiao Palace's heritage..."

Chu Mo looked at Miao Yi Niang somewhat puzzled, not knowing why she had this expression.

Miao Yi Niang explained to Chu Mo, "In our Four Symbols Continent, there are many large and small sects, no fewer than hundreds. But the top-level sects are not so many. On the four continents of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, almost every continent has only one top-level sect. Like the Longevity Heaven of Azure Dragon Continent, for example... the once Piaomiao Palace on Vermilion Bird Continent."

Miao Yi Niang looked somewhat dejected: "But now, Piaomiao Palace has become a thing of the past. Yet in the Four Symbols Continent, there are actually a few existences that are even more powerful than these top-tier sects!"

"There are even stronger ones?" Although Chu Mo knew that there were some hidden sects in this world, he had always thought that a sect like Longevity Heaven would be the most powerful.

"Of course." Miao Yi Niang glanced at Shen Xingxue and said softly, "Lone City, One Sword, Beyond Heaven, Immortal!"

Shen Xingxue showed a slight smile and nodded. The fact that Miao Yi Niang knew about the Immortal saved her a lot of explanation.

"Lone City, One Sword, Beyond Heaven, Immortal? Are these two sects?" Chu Mo asked.

"No, these are four sects!" Miao Yi Niang laughed softly, "Lone City is one sect; One Sword is another sect; Beyond Heaven and Immortal are two separate sects. I heard about these four sects in my early years, and few people have ever seen disciples from these four sects because their disciples rarely appear in the mortal world."

While saying this, Miao Yi Niang looked at Shen Xingxue, "I didn't expect Sister Xingxue to be a disciple of Immortal. That's really surprising. But then again, probably only a disciple of Immortal would be someone who, while not having any combat power, excels extraordinarily in some other field."

Shen Xingxue's face flushed slightly, she said softly, "I am not so outstanding, it's just that my mother belongs to Immortal."

Chu Mo looked at Shen Xingxue, "I heard the emperor mention your background once..."

Shen Xingxue nodded and said softly, "My mother once went out to look for a kind of medicinal herb and her guardian had to leave temporarily due to a sudden incident. As a result, my mother encountered danger and was severely injured accidentally, but fortunately, she was saved by my father. My father fell in love with her at first sight, and my mother... like me, she didn't have any combat power…"

As Shen Xingxue spoke, her face turned red, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, seemingly unsure of how to continue.

Chu Mo seemed to understand a bit, while Miao Yi Niang understood it all and hence changed the topic. She looked at Shen Xingxue, "A sect like Immortal must be extremely strict in choosing disciples, can I... make it?"

Shen Xingxue blinked her starry eyes, "Even if you can't, once sister goes with me, nobody else will know, right?"(To Be Continued. If you like this book, please go to QiDian (qidian.com) to vote and donate. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
