“How shall I treat Ninth Princess Xia Yuan?”
Wang Ping thought about the matter concerning Ninth Princess Xia Yuan, and was in deep contemplation for a moment.
Through this simulation, it can be seen that as long as he entered the Sword Spirit Sect, Ninth Princess Xia Yuan would be harmless to him.
“A generation of Empress, dying prematurely, it would be too much of a pity. If she didn’t die, the great Xia could revive, and the people of Xia Country could live in peace and work happily, and not need to suffer the casualties of tens of millions. ”
In the end, a decision formed in Wang Ping’s heart.
Not to mention, as long as he kept her safe, he could owe her a big favor, and it would be of great benefit in the future. As for finding MO Fan through her, that was just a matter by the way.
On the next day, when Wang Ping came downstairs to have breakfast at the inn, he saw that Xia Yuan and her team were already sitting there, with a variety of breakfast dishes on the table, and their aroma wafting in the air.
“Mr. Wang, good morning. Would you like to join us for breakfast?” When she saw Wang Ping coming down, Xia Yuan waved her folding fan and extended the invitation with a smile.
“Sure.” Wang Ping nodded and sat down.
“The weather is lovely today, and I want to invite Mr. Wang to take a walk around Black Wind Town with me. Do you have any spare time today, Mr. Wang?” When they had finished breakfast, Xia Yuan extended the invitation once again with a smile.
“If Yuan invites me, I naturally have the time.” Wang Ping nodded slightly, his gaze deep, and his words bearing a profound meaning: “However…”
“What is ‘however’?” Yuan Xia curiously inquired, while the Old Woman and Dong’er both looked at Wang Ping.
“However, Ninth Princess, I advise you to return to the Imperial Palace as soon as possible.”
Seeing that they were all looking at him, Wang Ping didn’t say it out loud, but instead conveyed it to Ninth Princess Xia Yuan through sound transmission.
At his words, Xia Yuan’s pupils contracted involuntarily. She stared at Wang Ping in disbelief, her face revealing her surprise.
The change in Xia Yuan’s expression caught the Old Woman’s attention, who shot Wang Ping a deep look, her brow slightly furrowed.
“How did you figure out my identity?” asked Xia Yuan in surprise as she transmitted her question through true Qi.
“Xia Yuan, Yuan Xia… add to that your high cultivation level at such a young age, it’s not hard to guess your identity.” Wang Ping replied through sound transmission.
“…” Xia Yuan was silent. The name she used while roaming the Jianghu was too casual, and she hadn’t intended to deliberately hide her cultivation level either.
Still, she was rather surprised that Wang Ping had figured it out so effortlessly.
However, what surprised her more were the words that Wang Ping had said.
“What do you mean by telling me to return to the palace quickly?” Xia Yuan asked back, baffled.
“The situation in the Great Xia Empire is grave. His Majesty isn’t getting any younger, and all the royal sons are ambitious and potential threats to the throne,” Wang Ping continued to sound transmit calmly. “You are blessed with immense talent and extraordinary spirit roots, and are highly favored by His Majesty. Therefore, you are the most likely candidate to take the throne. Can you imagine what would happen if it were discovered that you are travelling outside the Palace?”
“…” Xia Yuan frowned, her expression fluctuating.
“Do you mean that my own royal brothers and sisters would harm me?” Xia Yuan asked gravely.
“That’s not what I meant.” Wang Ping replied, his gaze deep. “However, from my perspective, going back to the Palace is the best choice for you.”
There were certain things that Wang Ping did not say directly.
Although, through the simulator, he knew that Xia Yuan was a good person, he couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t be enraged by his words.
Even though he wished to gain Xiao Yuan’s favor, he did not want to encounter any risk because of it.
“Thanks for the reminder, Wang Ping.” Xia Yuan frowned, her phoenix eyes flickering uncertainly as she considered something.
Seeing this, Wang Ping did not say any more.
The Xia Yuan of now was still too young and her ideas were somewhat naive. She was not like the formidable Empress in the Life Simulator.
The fight for the throne in the royal family is extremely brutal, and it seemed that, till now, she had not considered that her royal brothers and sisters could try to kill her.
“Yuan’er, what did he tell you?” Seeing the changing expressions on Xia Yuan’s face followed by her deep contemplation, the Old Woman shot Wang Ping a deep look and initiated the true Qi sound transmission to ask.
Dong’er, sitting on the side, regarded Wang Ping and her mistress, but in the end, she chose not to say anything.
After learning about Wang Ping’s talents, both her mistress and the Old
Woman regarded him highly, and this was not the place for her to intervene.
“Nothing.” Xia Yuan shook her head slightly and did not reveal the content of their conversation to the Old Woman.
“Mr. Wang, someone like you who has such exceptional talents, roaming the world freely, is a waste. Why not follow me and become my right-hand man? You can make a difference,” Xia Yuan then said earnestly to Wang Ping: “Once I ascend the throne, I will certainly repay you.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Ninth Princess, but I’m used to leisure and have no interest in holding a government post.”
Wang Ping shook his head and directly declined.
It was safer to stay in the Sword Spirit Sect. As long as he did not attract the attention of Zhang Yuan, the Master of the Sword Spirit Sect, he could grow peacefully and lie low until he died.
If he came to the capital to serve as an official and entered the whirlpool of power, his strength would still not be strong enough to ensure his safety.
Even if he revealed his identity as a 4th tier alchemist, it wouldn’t ensure a peaceful and prosperous life for him, but instead could possibly attract disaster.
“Oh, what a pity,” Xia Yuan sounded extremely regretful, and asked, “So, what do you plan to do next, Mr. Wang?”
“I will join the Sword Spirit Sect, seeking peace,” Wang Ping shared his plan.
“The Sword Spirit Sect…” Xia Yuan’s eyes flickered, and she smiled helplessly.
It seemed that getting a personality like Wang Ping on board might be a long shot.
Even though she had a dream of walking side by side with Wang Ping, discussing major world affairs, trying to touch the human heart like her ancestors, and making them follow her, it seemed that this approach simply did not work on Wang Ping.
She could see that Wang Ping had a very determined will and could not be influenced.
Moreover, thinking about what Wang Ping had mentioned earlier about her returning to the Palace soon, Xia Yuan pondered over many thoughts.
“Mr. Wang, if you ever change your mind, you can come and find me whenever you want, I would be more than happy to welcome you,” said Xia Yuan with a slight bow, her face looking earnest.
This time, she did not use true Qi voice transmission, but said it directly.
“Hmm.” Even though Wang Ping would most likely not change his mind, he did not want to decline her outright and so, nodded slightly..
