Chapter 990: Princess Changping

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

In the royal palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, there were numerous majestic immortal estates situated there, so many that it seemed like an entire city.

This royal palace was the residence of the dukes, marquises and kings of the Evergreen Immortal Empire and was the heart of the nation where the strongest immortal kings and emperors were located.

Every building here was a residence for extremely important characters, there were no exceptions. In any of the estates, there would be elite troops guarding it, and the vast majority of the people staying there were all at the immortal king level.

For kings, dukes and marquises, they were allowed to have their own troops. The imperial residence granted to them was so vast that they seemed more akin to small towns, spanning over a few hundred miles. In fact for some kings, their residence spanned over thousands of miles. When one personally saw how majestic the royal palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire was, only then would they understand how many experts the Empire had.

Or one could say that the elites of the Evergreen Immortal Empire were all gathered here in this place.

Naturally, the most resplendent place within the royal palace was none other than the emperor palace at the center of everything. It was the place where the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, his descendants and relatives, and the troops under his command resided. Even if an immortal king wanted to enter, he had to undergo a stringent process of checks.

At this moment at the area where the spatial transference array was situated, a bright light flashed and two figures appeared. The guards in the surroundings turned their gazes onto the two and swiftly knelt down to show their respects as they called out, "Welcome home, Princess Qing`er."

"We welcome Princess Qing`er’s return to the royal palace!" The voice of the troops rang out unceasingly. Qing`er nodded to them and with a wave of her hand, her spatial leaf boat appeared. Qin Wentian and herself mounted it as they shot forth in the distance. Although they already arrived at the royal palace, there was still quite a far distance between this place and the emperor palace she resided in.

"We welcome Princess Qing`er’s return!" The loud voices thundered through the air while Qing`er and Qin Wentian were already shuttling through space. Qin Wentian stared at the royal palace of this empire as awe filled his heart. The owners of those majestic estates, the staggering amount of troops standing guard, these were all for the core characters of extreme importance who could wield towering amounts of authority and power in the Evergreen Immortal Empire.

For characters like the Everpeace Marquis, although he was a grand official, he didn’t have the qualifications to stay in this place, but was sent to guard a region of the empire instead.

Very swiftly, the return of Princess Qing`er was circulated throughout the palace. Right now, she and Qin Wentian were still traveling via the spatial leaf boat, but many people already knew of her return.

"Princess Qing`er has returned, she’s already at the peak of the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon. Now, she’s only a short distance away from immortal foundation."

"Ye`er, the Princess has returned. You should visit the emperor palace more often in the future."

"Son, Princess Qing`er is back and she even brought a young man along with her whose around your age. You’d better grab hold of this opportunity."

"Grandson, the Princess has never shown interest in any man before. If you can gain her favor, it would bring great hope to our clan."

Among all the major estates, voices rang out endlessly. Many of those voices were reminding the young men to pursue Qing`er, and also talking about Qin Wentian.

Princess Qing`er was the youngest daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, someone whom he doted on the most. Although the Evergreen Immortal Emperor would surely select an outstanding supreme genius for her in the future, a majority of the decision still lay in Princess Qing`er’s hands. In any case, before his Majesty officially accepted a son-in-law, everyone still stood a chance. If they didn’t fight for it, they wouldn’t even have the slightest hint of a chance at all. These were the thoughts of everyone.

The Evergreen Immortal Emperor naturally also understood this point, but he couldn’t be bothered to care about such things. In any case, there had never been anyone capable of gaining his daughter’s favor before. Not even one.

The spatial leaf boat finally slowed after traveling a considerable amount of distance, halting before a majestic-looking residence. The guards below soared up when they saw the boat, but when they saw who was riding it, they instantly knelt down in the air as they respectfully greeted, "We pay our respects to Princess Qing`er."

"Is aunt in the palace?" Qing`er asked.

"Replying to Princess, Princess Changping is in the palace," the man in the lead respectfully replied.

"Okay..." Qing`er waved in dismissal as she continued forward. The one staying in that residence was Qing`er’s blood-related aunt, the younger sister of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. Her imperial title was Princess Changping.

Qin Wentian didn’t say or ask anything, he just followed Qing`er as she led the way, walking into the heart of the central region of the royal palace. On the way, many experts bowed when they saw Qing`er. There would naturally be no one obstructing her path, and also, it was common knowledge that there were very few people Princess Qing`er was close to. Princess Changping was one of the rare few that had a very good relationship with Qing`er, and Qing`er would often visit her estate.

From afar, a group of figures could be seen walking over. The person in the lead was a white-robed female beauty, appearing in her early thirties. Not only was she beautiful, her aura was transcendent as well. Regardless of her fair, white skin or her lithe figure, everything could be said to be perfect. This made Qin Wentian sigh silently in admiration, "Seems like all the females in Qing`er’s Clan are all supreme beauties."

"Little girl Qing`er, you’ve finally returned." The beauty in white smiled at Qing`er. Although she looked extremely young, there was a look of doting love in her eyes that resembled that of an elder gazing at their juniors. Her actual age was most likely many times older than Qing`er’s.

"We pay our respects to Princess Qing`er." Those guards standing behind Princess Changping all bowed as they greeted.

"Aunt!" Qing`er’s melodious voice rang out. Princess Changping had already arrived in front of Qing`er. She smiled while she glanced at Qin Wentian. "What? You brought a son-in-law back for your father?"

Princess Changping was someone who was wise and farsighted. Since Qing`er had directly brought this young man here and was walking side by side with him, with only the distance of a step between them, she naturally could already infer several things from this. She understood her niece very well, and there was no way ordinary men would stand a chance, let alone be allowed so close to her. And now that her niece had brought this person here, the meaning was clear without words.

Her gaze studied Qin Wentian, seemingly as though it was capable of seeing right through his heart. She was truly very curious as to what kind of man was qualified enough to receive the adoration and love of her dear niece, Qing`er.

What made Princess Changping even more astonished was that after she teased them, Qing`er actually didn’t deny it. Undoubtedly, this silence displayed tacit approval to her words, signifying that the relationship between herself and Qin Wentian was closer than what she’d originally thought.

"Junior Qin Wentian pays his respect to Senior." Qin Wentian felt somewhat uncomfortable being studied by Princess Changping. But even so, he dipped into a bow that was neither servile nor overbearing, indicating his respect. The first person Qing`er brought him to meet, was none other than her aunt. Evidently, this aunt had a very important position in Qing`er’s heart.

"Little fellow, to be able to get my dear niece to fall in love with you? Awesome! How did you manage to do that?" Princess Changping stared at Qin Wentian as she smiled. She was really very curious how this fellow managed to chase that ice princess who was her niece.

"Senior, stop teasing me, I’ve known Qing`er since a very long time ago," Qin Wentian replied.

This sentence caused Princess Changping’s eyes to flicker as she asked, "In the particle world?"

"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded.

"Pursuing her all the way from a particle world to our Evergreen Immortal Empire in the immortal realms?" Princess Changping’s eyes gleamed, her approval of Qin Wentian instantly shot up when she heard this. Such determination was impossible unless one felt great enmity or a person truly loved the other.

"I was acquainted with Qing`er when I was 16. Some years after Qing`er was escorted back to the Evergreen Immortal Empire, I was lucky enough to meet an immortal-foundation senior who opened the spatial tunnel for me, sending me to the immortal realms. After that, I participated in the once-per-hundred-year immortal banquet of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and encountered Princess Glaze from there. It was Princess Glaze who told me Qing`er was in the City of Ancient Emperors, and hence, I asked for help from another senior to bring me there so I could look for Qing`er."

The reason why Qing`er brought Qin Wentian to this place was because she understood it was tough to stand solidly alone in the royal palace, there must be someone else in support of her and Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian understood this as well. Hence, he used simple terms and told his story clearly. Firstly, this would avoid Princess Changping from having a wrong interpretation of his motives in coming here. Secondly, he hoped to gain her support for whatever situation that may arise.

"Ooo, childhood sweethearts?" Princess Changping laughed. Qin Wentian even mentioned Princess Glaze, and the moment Princess Changping heard that, she instantly understood many things. Firstly, to be sent to the City of Ancient Emperors, this young man’s talent would undoubtedly be extremely good. Also, there was either an immortal king or emperor supporting him.

"Aunt, I will leave him here first. Help me take care of him, okay? I will go meet with father," Qing`er spoke to Princess Changping. Princess Changping naturally understood that it was impossible for Qing`er to instantly bring Qin Wentian to meet her elder brother, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, the first instant she returned to the royal palace.

"Okay, I will take good care of this youngster." Princess Changping smiled.

Qing`er’s beautiful eyes turned to Qin Wentian as she spoke in a light voice, "Stay at my Aunt’s place temporarily, okay...?"

"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. "Qing`er, just go ahead with your matters."

Qing`er nodded as she departed. Princess Changping then turned to Qin Wentian, "Let’s go. I still have many questions I want to ask you. For starters, are you the disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor?"

Qin Wentian had a bitter smile on his face as he shook his head, "The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor probably hates me to the bone."

"What do you mean?" An interested expression appeared on Princess Changping’s face. Hate was a strong word. Had Qin Wentian actually done something to make the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor hate him?

"Back then when Qing`er was escorted back from our particle world to the immortal realms, she once asked a favor from the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. She asked to get the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor to accept a disciple from the particle world we were in. I was the top ranker during the recruitment test, but in the end, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor only offered me a period of freedom once every thousand years. I didn’t agree, and he then remarked on my bad character, thus forsaking and humiliating me. And later on, I learned that what he did was all intentional..."

Qin Wentian told everything that happened to Princess Changping, summarizing the details. "After that, I went to the City of Ancient Emperors to look for Qing`er and along the way, I killed his personal disciple, Que Tianyi, in the face of his immortal sense."

"You sure have guts. No wonder that lass Qing`er is so fond of you." Princess Changping smiled.

And just when they were speaking. At the same location, inside the royal palace within the Cloud King Manor, the Cloud King was staring at the corpse of his granddaughter as his rage towered up into the sky. His voice thundered out, "Lian`er, even if I have to bring this up with his Majesty, I will get justice for you."

In the Cloud King Manor, the Cloud King was completely enraged. And very swiftly, news circulated around the royal place that the granddaughter of the Cloud King, the daughter of the Everpeace Marquis, Xia Lian, was killed by Princess Qing`er.

Not only that, the reason for that was actually because the Princess had been acting on behalf of a man.

And not too long ago, Princess Qing`er had just brought a young man into the royal palace. This incident instantly caused a huge deal of commotion in the royal palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire!

Note: Princess Changping’s name can also stand for Princess Everpeace. But the character used for the word ’peace’ is a different one although they mean the same thing. To avoid confusion, I will use the pinyin of the chinese characters, calling her Changping instead.
