Chapter 5679: The Grand Princess‘ Secret

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The newcomer wasn’t from the Tribulation Realm, but an Emperor.

He was burly, with a physique akin to a barrel, and his countenance was fierce and terrifying.

By conventional standards, upon reaching the Immortal stage, one could change their appearance at will.

Even using some secret techniques would allow for a change in appearance.

However, this Emperor appeared in this visage.

“That’s the Grand Princess!” someone whispered softly.

Most of those present here had seen this Grand Princess before.

There were also some juniors seeing her for the first time.

All of them were taken aback by the appearance of this Grand Princess.

Jian Wushuang was equally surprised.

However, unlike these people, he sensed a familiar aura emanating from the other party.

Moreover, he had just recently seen this person not long ago.

“Tree Bear!” Jian Wushuang raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile creeping onto his lips.

The mysterious girl from Hundred Flowers Mountain who summoned the Tree Bear bore a striking resemblance to the current Grand Princess, and their auras were nearly identical.

There was a strong connection between the two.

Furthermore, by observing the opponent’s life force, Jian Wushuang could tell that the current Grand Princess was almost certainly not her true form.

This was something that experts below the Five Tribulation realm couldn’t discern at all.

However, Jian Wushuang could sense it thanks to the special Life power.

The current Grand Princess was definitely not her true self but rather the transformed Tree Bear.

Her true form should not be here but in the imperial palace. Normally, this Grand Princess would take the Tree Bear form as her true self.

Thinking of that mischievous girl, Jian Wushuang became quite interested in her cunning and scheming.

The arrival of the Grand Princess delighted Elder Muchen, who personally stood up and, with concern, addressed the sturdy Tree Bear, “My dear niece, I’m so glad you could come. There’s no need for such extravagance!”

“Uncle, this time I’ve prepared a special gift just for you!” the Grand Princess said, instructing her servant, “Steward Li, present the Lotus Heart!”

At the mention of the Lotus Heart, everyone’s expressions changed.

That was an extraordinary treasure.

The Lotus Heart was a unique treasure of the Shi Kingdom, a priceless item.

Regular people couldn’t buy it even if they wanted to.

Unless they had strong backgrounds and extraordinary strength.

Upon hearing this, Elder Muchen’s heart stirred, his expression changing slightly. He covertly transmitted, “Jinchen, are you trying to bribe your uncle?”

“Uncle, you must help me this time. Mother is determined to find me a husband!” Princess Jinchen’s tone sounded aggrieved, resembling an 800-pound chubby dumpling.

Elder Muchen, who had always cherished his niece, furrowed his brows, sighing, “Niece, I can’t help you this time. What the clan has decided cannot be changed by anyone!”

He understood why his niece was resisting so much, even resorting to transforming her appearance to ugliness just to avoid being married off by the family.

But how could one resist the imperial decree?

The Kingdom of Yue needed a crown prince.

And that crown prince had to be the princess.

Hence the need for a husband.

Moreover, they needed a husband with a clean background and decent strength at the same cultivation realm.

But this princess already had someone in her heart.

However, that person was from the royal family of the Shi Kingdom.

Even if the other party agreed to become the son-in-law, the Kingdom of Yue dared not invite the wolf into the house!

The princess was the future Empress, how could she accept an uncontrollable son-in-law?

Even if the Empress could face the Shi Kingdom with confidence, the clan wouldn’t allow it.

Princess Jincheng pouted, casting a resentful look at her mother.

Elder Muchen pulled Princess Jincheng to his side and gestured to continue.

Such family matters were better resolved privately.

At this moment, Wu Li nodded towards Jian Wushuang, simultaneously transmitting, and soon they were together.

“Wushuang, my friend, don’t let this little girl deceive you. This isn’t her true form. If this succeeds, I promise you, you won’t suffer any loss!” Wu Li assured through transmission.

Actually, he didn’t need comforting. Even if the other party’s true self was like this, he had to go in with a stiff upper lip.

This was about the Wanliu Divine Tree.

The opportunity in the Tribulation Realm.

According to Wu Li’s most conservative estimate, whatever they gained inside, as long as they came out alive, they could quickly become Five Tribulation Realm experts.

This was also deduced from their past experiences.

The prerequisite was coming out alive.

And, of course, one had to enter first.

Entering required the qualifications of the Sacred Assembly.

These qualifications were very rare even in the Qingyun Sect.

Only by passing through the Yue Kingdom Imperial Family could one manage to get in.

Wu Li himself had no problem; he had some connections in the Ancient Wood Sect and could easily get himself in.

But getting Jian Wushuang in was a different story.

After all, that was the eight-star sect, not something a Half-Step Four Tribulation realm like him could control.

“Don’t worry, I know what to do!” Jian Wushuang replied through mental communication.

He wasn’t some clueless kid just born yesterday.

How could such trivial matters bother him?

After Pang De presented his gift, Wu Li slowly got up, deliberately calling Jian Wushuang over in front of everyone.

Jian Wushuang behaved obediently, like a junior, and walked towards Wu Li.

This caught the attention of many people.

Some even recognized him; after all, he had been following Elder Muchen for thousands of years and was somewhat famous.

Moreover, these people had heard that Jian Wushuang’s relationship with Wu Li was not ordinary.

Presumably, he was also an extraordinary Emperor.

“Muchen, ever since my nephew joined your sect, he has received much care from you. It’s quite sudden for us to come here together to congratulate you this time!”

Muchen smiled knowingly at this remark and replied, “Brother Wu Li, since he’s a nephew, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. I see that Jian Wushuang’s talent is quite good among the younger generation, so it’s not really considered as taking care of him. Even without my help, he could have found a decent position in the Qingyun Sect!”

“By the way, in the next inner disciple trial, Wushuang can give it a try!”

Jian Wushuang held the wooden box in his hands and felt a stir in his heart upon hearing this.

Sure enough, a few compliments and benefits would follow directly. Even though he hadn’t given any birthday gifts, Muchen had already arranged the matter of becoming an inner disciple for him.

Saying it’s a trial, how could he possibly fail?

Unfortunately, Jian Wushuang and Wu Li’s intentions were not just about becoming inner disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

“Wushuang, why don’t you thank Elder Muchen properly?” Wu Li’s expression turned serious as he instructed.

Jian Wushuang respectfully handed over the wooden box containing the Hundred Flowers Vine and pretended to be excited, saying, “Thank you, Elder Muchen, I will never forget this kindness!”

The steward of the mansion took the box from Jian Wushuang’s hands. As usual, he prepared to report the names of the treasures inside upon opening it.

But just as he was about to open it, a terrifying divine power leaked out from above.

Although the steward of the mansion had seen much in his life, he couldn’t help but swallow hard and pause for a moment. Then, he loudly exclaimed, “400 flower seeds, and a Hundred Flowers Vine!”

And they hadn’t even reached the first withered stage.

This also meant that these treasures were just brought from the Hundred Flowers Mountain today.
