The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 239 - 238: Seeking Revenge at the Door

Chapter 239: Chapter 238: Seeking Revenge at the Door

Xu Changfeng settled the four from the Spirit Sword Sect in his residence.

Given Lin Bai had been engaged in a fight before, Chen Gong decided to let him rest first.

Meanwhile.

The Fifth Princess arrived at an elegant palace in the Imperial City, crying her heart out.

The injuries she’d previously suffered from Lin Bai had mostly healed thanks to treatment from the Imperial Hospital.

"Whaaa..."

The Fifth Princess cried inconsolably as she entered the palace.

"Xiao Wu, what’s happened to you? Why are you crying so desperately?" A beautiful woman in royal attire asked with a light smile.

This woman, dressed in a royal gown, had a mature face and determined eyes. She emanated an aura of heroic spirit that would not yield to any man.

"Boohoo, big sister, I was bullied," the Fifth Princess said, walking into the palace and throwing herself onto the beautiful woman’s lap, bursting into tears.

If Lin Bai was there, he would certainly recognize this woman.

This woman in the royal gown was none other than the First Princess, Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao asked with a smile, "Really? Who, in the entire Imperial City, would dare to bully you... Wait, you’re injured?"

Bai Xiaoxiao had just intended to tease the Fifth Princess, but as soon as she touched her, she immediately noticed the residual injuries on her.

"Big sister, you must seek justice for me! Otherwise, I...I simply won’t...live," the Fifth Princess sobbed.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression turned icy, "Tell me everything. Was it someone from the Xu family?"

The Fifth Princess replied, "No, it was a warrior from the Spirit Sword Sect. I visited the Qianlong Villa to spar with the disciples from the Four Major Sects. But one of the disciples from the Spirit Sword Sect beat me without any reason."

"Big sister, you must avenge me," she sobbed.

Those who dare to harm the royal family... I’m curious as to who in the Spirit Sword Sect has such audacity." Bai Xiaoxiao’s face turned even colder. She rose from her seat and took the Fifth Princess with her to Qianlong Villa.

...

At Qianlong Villa.

Bai Xiaoxiao took the Fifth Princess through various pavilions and kiosks, heading straight for the Spirit Sword Sect’s residence.

"Is that the First Princess?"

"Indeed, it is the First Princess. The rumors about her beauty weren’t exaggerated."

"And her talent in martial arts is remarkable, too. In addition to that, she has a unique aura about her. Over the years, countless warriors have fallen under her charm."

"Especially the young prince, Qi Rui from the Qi Wangfu - he’s determined to marry the First Princess."

"Looking at the First Princess’s demeanor, it seems like she’s heading to the Spirit Sword Sect’s villa."

"Lin Bai is finished then. It appears the First Princess has come specifically to find trouble with him because he injured the Fifth Princess."

"Let’s go and check out what’s happening at the Spirit Sword Sect’s villa."

Many warriors noticed the First Princess’s movements.

At the Spirit Sword Sect’s residence.

A warrior had come to report earlier that the First Princess was coming. So, Chen Gong waited outside from early on.

Seeing the First Princess coming, Chen Gong greeted with a modest bow, "Your Highness."

Bai Xiaoxiao gave a light smile, "Ah, it’s Senior Chen Gong."

Chen Gong said with a smile, "It’s been three years since we last met, Princess. Your cultivation has progressed substantially. I suspect you’re about to break into the Sixth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm."

Bai Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, "After the Heavenly Sacrifice at the Year-end Tail Sacrifice, I should be able to break into the Sixth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm."

"That is certainly delightful news," Chen Gong laughed.

"Senior Chen, I came to your Sect today because I heard one of your gifted disciples injured my little sister. I have some time on my hands right now and thought I might ask this individual for some pointers," Bai Xiaoxiao said, smiling.

Thud.

Upon hearing these words, Chen Gong thought to himself: Indeed, they’re here because Lin Bai injured the Fifth Princess.

"Ha-ha, Princess Chang, this whole thing was just a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding." Chen Gong tried hard to maintain a cheerful expression on his face, after all, the power of the royal family was indeed terrifying.

Considering the current trouble the Spirit Sword Sect was in, it was best to avoid another opponent.

The Fifth Princess angrily said, "Misunderstanding my ass, summon that guy to face me. I won’t be satisfied without getting some payback today."

This..." Chen Gong hesitated as he looked at Princess Chang, Bai Xiaoxiao.

Just then, more and more martial artists gathered outside the Spirit Sword Sect’s residence.

From the crowd, an impressive young man, dressed in embroidered finery, radiating the aura of a person of high rank, handsome and spirited, his sharp features reflecting a charismatic energy, emerged.

"What? Your Spirit Sword Sect committed such a deed, and you dare not admit it?"

The young man approached, his words resonated with firmness and an icy chill.

"It’s the young prince of the Qi Wangfu."

"It’s Qi Rui!"

"Heh heh, the rumors from the Imperial Capital are true indeed. Wherever Princess Chang goes, Qi Rui also shows up."

"Greetings, young prince."

"Salutations to the young prince."

"Now that the young prince has arrived, the fate of Lin Bai is sealed—this young prince is notoriously harsh in the Imperial Capital!"

The appearance of Qi Rui immediately stirred up a commotion amongst the crowd.

Qi Rui was the young prince of the Qi Wangfu—the primary heir.

The Prince’s Mansion of Qi Wangfu was an immensely powerful dwelling within the Shenwu Kingdom, with over tens of millions of troops.

"Xiaoxiao." Qi Rui looked at Bai Xiaoxiao and softly called out to her.

Bai Xiaoxiao, though a bit impatient, laughed and said, "Why has the young prince come?"

Qi Rui laughed and said, "I heard that Wu’er was injured and thus I came to see her and to see if there was any service I could offer."

"So that’s it. But don’t worry about it, young prince. This minor issue doesn’t require your attention," Bai Xiaoxiao maintained her dignified demeanor.

The unrequited affection Qi Rui had for Bai Xiaoxiao was an open secret throughout the Imperial Capital.

However, Bai Xiaoxiao seemed not to be interested in Qi Rui in the slightest, often avoiding him.

"Senior Chen Gong, please summon the fighter who injured Wu’er." Bai Xiaoxiao requested with a smile.

"Yes, let that damn creature come out!" the young prince, Qi Rui, commanded authoritatively.

Chen Gong glanced at Qi Rui with a slightly discontented expression, his face darkened.

"Who wanted to see me?"

Just at that moment, from behind Chen Gong, a soothing voice echoed as a white-robed youth gradually approached.

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Gong instantly turned around, his face filled with anxiety, and asked, "Lin Bai, what are you doing out here? Didn’t I tell you, no matter what happened, don’t come out?"

The Fifth Princess caught sight of Lin Bai and immediately grabbed Bai Xiaoxiao’s arm, saying, "Sister, it’s him, he’s the one who injured Wu’er. Sister, you have to avenge me!"

Princess Chang looked at Lin Bai, she hadn’t expected at all that the person who injured the Fifth Princess would be Lin Bai.

Princess Chang understood Lin Bai’s capabilities well. If Lin Bai wanted to kill the Fifth Princess, she probably wouldn’t be able to stop him even if she was there. Now that the Fifth Princess wasn’t dead, it meant Lin Bai must have pulled his punches.

Hearing the Fifth Princess’s voice, Qi Rui immediately turned his angry gaze to Lin Bai and roared, "You little mouse, get over here, kneel down, and apologize."

"Xiaoxiao, don’t concern yourself with this matter, let our Qi Wangfu handle this trivial issue. I assure you we will appease Wu’er and satisfy you as well."

"And don’t get angry either, for fear it would harm your health."

Qi Rui spoke buttery words to Bai Xiaoxiao.

But Bai Xiaoxiao seemed not to have heard Qi Rui’s words at all, looking at Lin Bai with a face beaming like a blossoming flower, she joyfully exclaimed, "Lin Bai, it’s been a long time."

"So it’s Princess Chang," Lin Bai said, slightly bowing with his fist in his palm in salute.
