At night, in the Nine Firmament Imperial Palace.
Xiang Nan helped the Ninth Princess to the bedroom. The Ninth Princess was in a good mood and came back from the First Prince 's palace banquet. She drank like a rock.
First of all, the princess and the others broke through three questions in a row. Not only did the ninth princess feel relieved, the First Prince also felt relieved. He had always been suppressed by the The Profound Sky Sect and the Flying Cloud Sect. Today, he finally let out a mouthful of anger.
Secondly, the Nine Firmaments Imperial Clan had gained 100,000 more spirit weapons in vain, and the First Prince was even happier.
This set up a palace banquet and invited the Ninth Princess of the Haotian Imperial Clan and the Crown Prince's Young Master, Xiang Ru.
On the way back to the palace, Xiang Nan still remembered what the First Prince had said sincerely while holding Xiang Nan's hand when the banquet was over.
The First Prince held Xiang Nan's hand and said that the most valuable gift the Ninth Princess had brought this time was neither the incomparably large luminous pearl nor the weapons of the two standard armaments ships, but Xiang Ru.
Not only did this compliment not move Xiang Nan, it also made him feel deeply worried.
This was obvious. The First Prince had placed great importance on Xiang Nan. Not only did he want to leave behind the Ninth Princess, he also wanted to leave behind Xiang Nan so that Xiang Nan could assist his Nine Firmaments Imperial Clan and re-establish their prestige on the The Nine Firmaments Continent .
This has had a very serious consequence.
Perhaps, in the past, the First Prince did not insist on leaving behind the Ninth Princess, but now, even if it was just to leave behind Xiang Ru, he still had to leave behind the Ninth Princess. He absolutely wanted to treat Xiang Ru as the Ninth Princess' "dowry".
Who doesn't want a talent who can still obtain 100,000 Spirit Weapons in the The Nine Firmaments Continent under the dual suppression of the Sky Profound Sect and the Flying Cloud Sect?
Xiang Nan looked at the red-faced Ninth Princess and felt very guilty. He sighed to himself, Princess, I don't know if I helped you or harmed you.
Although the Ninth Princess drank a lot, her mind was still clear. Before she was helped down by Xiang Nan, she said, "The questions Xuan Qingzhu gave are getting harder and harder."
"Weapons, you can still find people, change money, find a way to get them."
"But where are we going to find ancient-level demons?"
Xiang Nan patted the Ninth Princess on the back and said, "Sleep quickly. Leave these problems to me."
The Ninth Princess lay on the soft pillow and looked at Xiang Nan with a chuckle. She suddenly felt something and said, "Xiang Ru, it's good to have you here."
Xiang Nan smiled and coaxed her for a while. After she gradually fell asleep, he left.
The night was slightly cold.
Standing in the courtyard, Xiang Nan looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "It's almost winter."
He slowly exhaled and jumped up. He stepped on the sky and went to the manor of the Whampoa Aristocrat Clan.
The lights in Whampoa Ruyan's boudoir were still on. When Xiang Nan arrived above the manor, two teams of guards had already rushed up on flying demonic beasts.
Originally, they wanted to loudly berate the intruder, but when they saw that it was Xiang Nan, they respectfully cupped their fists and said, "Young Master Xiang, it's you. Miss has been waiting for a long time."
Xiang Nan nodded and landed, saying at the door, "Miss Ruyan, can I come in?"
A soft "hmm" came from inside the room.
Xiang Nan pushed open the door and entered. Miss Ruyan was dealing with the clan's paperwork with exhaustion on her face.
"Big shots are so busy. They're still awake at this late hour." Xiang Nan smiled and pulled out a chair to sit down.
Lady Ruyan glared at Xiang Nan reproachfully and said, "Young Master has come. I hope Young Master Xiang will forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar."
Xiang Nan knew that she was hurting herself, so he bitterly smiled and said, "I know it's my fault. I shouldn't have used provocation to deal with Miss Ruyan, so don't be angry."
Lady Ruyan sighed and said, "You still don't understand why I'm unhappy. I'm unhappy, not because of how you deal with me."
"I'm not happy because you treat me like an outsider and treat the Ninth Princess like one of your own."
"Young Master Xiang, when did the two of us become so distant?"
Xiang Nan was speechless when asked.
"Do you remember that we drank wine in the bamboo forest of Blackrock City?" Said Miss Ruyan.
"Do you remember when you were forced into desperation by the Wang Clan and I was tortured to the ground by Xiao Yu'er's illness?"
"At that time, we were both miserable people. We relied on each other and trusted each other. We were willing to entrust our lives to each other."
"But now, you are helping others deal with me."
When Xiang Nan heard her say this, he felt extremely guilty. He hurriedly said, "Miss Ruyan, you really misunderstood. I didn't mean to harm you or the Whampoa Aristocrat Clan at that time."
"It's really because my trip represents the The Haotian Empire . I can't help but make this decision."
"Then you still don't believe me!" Miss Ruyan looked at Xiang Nan seriously and said, "If you want a weapon, just say it. I will definitely give it to you. You don't need to use any excitement at all."
"You saved my sister's life. My sister's life is priceless. Not to mention a hundred thousand spirit weapons, even if you want a million spirit weapons, even if I risk my life, I will find it for you."
"I'm sorry." Xiang Nan lowered his head. He knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he could only apologize.
Miss Ruyan frowned as she looked at Xiang Nan, "Let me ask you, do you like the Ninth Princess?"
Xiang Nan nodded. "Yes, she is a naive and innocent girl. Actually, I sympathize with her, but I also like her."
Ruyan said, "Is it love between men and women?"
Xiang Nan was stunned and smiled, "Miss Ruyan, what are you talking about? I like the princess. I just treat her like a sister. How can I have any other distracting thoughts?"
Hearing this, Miss Ruyan let out an "oh" and the dark clouds on her face immediately dissipated, and she became happy again.
Xiang Nan felt strange in his heart. Just now, she had an unhappy expression on her face, but now, she had suddenly changed again. Women were truly the most unpredictable creature in the world.
For a moment, the two of them were unable to find anything to talk about, so they sat in the room and didn't say a word.
Xiang Nan didn't know what to say, he just drank tea cup by cup.
After a while, Miss Ruyan broke the deadlock with a chuckle.
She smiled and said, "Looks like I have a good eye for business, even for people. I already said that Young Master Xiang will definitely be extraordinary in the future. The facts confirm what I said."
Xiang Nan said modestly, "Where is it? Isn't it because of Miss Ruyan's help? From the beginning, you were helping me. But now, you are still helping me."
"In the end, I didn't help you much."
Miss Ruyan said, "What can you help me with? I have everything I want. Wealth, status, and everything."
"There's only one thing I'm lacking. I wonder if you can help me."
Xiang Nan hurriedly asked, "Just say it. I'll go through fire and water."
"You don't have to go through fire and water." Ruyan blushed slightly and said, "I still lack a husband."
Xiang Nanqi said, "Then which young master do you like? Tell me, I can help you talk about it."
Miss Ruyan looked at Xiang Nan seriously and said, "Young Master Xiang, are you really an elm bump? Do you still not understand my heart?"
