Upon entering the main hall, Jing Li was immediately surrounded by the group of old men. Seeing this, Ye Xiruo followed behind Si Hao and said, "It's time to rely on my senior brother for help." She looked up and saw her senior brother's innocent and adorable face.

He felt even more guilty: "Senior Brother, don't worry, I will protect you."

The senior brother patted Ye Xiruo's hair: "Don't worry, although I don't like beating people up, I don't mind taking action if someone bullies you."

The three siblings were like luminous lights. Si Hao's cool face paired with Zi Shu's adorable baby face, and Ye Xiruo, though not the most beautiful, were easily recognizable by their identical outfits, subtle patterns, and the golden cauldron of the Pill King Palace on their chests. Almost everyone guessed their identities. However, Zi Shu left midway…

Jing Li held a delicate teacup, a few dark glints flashing in her alluring eyes: "How has the Medicine King been feeling lately?" Her smile was forced and insincere.

The Medicine Emperor was the Supreme Elder of Medicine King Valley, and previously ranked fourth on the Saint King Tower, slightly higher than Jing Li. This directly led to the open and covert battles between the Pill King Hall and Medicine King Valley.

The Medicine King had his silver hair neatly combed back, and two snow-white eyebrows. He had a kind and benevolent look, and an ethereal air about him.

"That's good. Where is young friend Ye? Does the Palace Master not intend to introduce him to us?"

"Have some tea first, have some tea." That's my apprentice. Why are you showing him to me? If it weren't to intimidate certain people, give a gift, and satisfy my own little bit of pride and showing off, who would hold this apprenticeship ceremony?

"Elder Yanliu of the Taiyan Divine Sect has arrived."

"The Ninth Princess has arrived."

"Elder Huanyun of Huantian Palace has arrived."

"Elder Lianqing of Saintess Peak has arrived."

"The Sect Master of the Sky-Supporting Sect has arrived."

"When the flowers bloom, it's time to bloom."

"......"

Almost all the top forces on the main road had arrived, along with some Heavenly-level forces and invited Earthly-level forces, who gathered in the main hall. As for the Profound-level and Yellow-level forces, their elders were entertaining them in the side halls.

These forces were all enormous to Ye Xiruo, but compared to the Pill King Palace, they posed a much smaller threat. Ye Xiruo, who was eating spirit fruit in a corner, heard the words "Ninth Princess has arrived" and her ears twitched a few times. What was that damned woman doing here! Brother Xiu Qi wasn't here again; thank goodness he wasn't. She didn't seem to see Yi Ruowu.

"I heard that Fairy Yi Ruowu benefited greatly from her battle with the Five Heroes of the Divine Sect and has gone into seclusion. When she comes out again, she will probably be at the Golden Core stage," Si Hao whispered to Ye Xiruo.

Ye Xiruo raised an eyebrow: "And then?"

"I heard that the Ninth Princess has a very strong royal bloodline. Once she comes of age, enters the ancestral land, and awakens her bloodline, she will soar to great heights."

"And then?" Ye Xiruo was even more speechless now.

"Junior sister, your imagined rival in love is getting more and more formidable."

Ye Xiruo almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What kind of bizarre logic was this? And this imagination was too wild. Who would have thought that the stern and indifferent second senior brother actually had a gossipy heart?

Why are you looking at me like that?

“That’s something Brother Xiu Qi should worry about. He’s a guest elder of our Pill King Hall now. What’s that saying again?” Ye Xiruo grinned.

"Those who are near the water get the moon first."

"witty."

"Junior Sister, I've been looking for you everywhere." Dressed in white, ethereal as a fairy, yet utterly adorable, the senior brother tugged at Ye Xiruo's sleeve and walked forward.

"Senior Brother, what happened?"

"Time's almost up, your master wants you to change your clothes."

"We have to change it again."

"It must be changed; this is the tradition of the Danwang Palace."

Ye Xiruo nodded quickly and followed closely behind Zishu.

"How do you walk? You think you can just walk away after bumping into this princess?" Ye Xiruo, who was still dizzy from the impact, heard this arrogant voice before she could even react.

Her face instantly turned cold: "Who are you? What right do you have to act wildly in the Pill King Palace?" Without a doubt, who else could this turkey, dressed in a bright red robe, with a cold and flamboyant appearance and an arrogant expression, be but the Ninth Princess?

"You don't even know who I am?" This was probably the first time Tai Yanxi had encountered such a situation.

"Do you think I'm strange? Are you famous?" Ye Xiruo reignited the fire, determined to deflate this turkey's arrogance.

Born into royalty, Tai Yanxi possessed exceptional talent from a young age. Coupled with the doting affection of the God Emperor, God Empress, and her many brothers, she was truly the little princess of the Tai Yan Empire. Wherever she went, she was the center of attention, surrounded by stars—she had never received such treatment before.

Her face turned icy cold, her sharp eyes fixed on Ye Xiruo: "Say that again to this princess." Her right hand had already reached for the soft sword at her waist.

Ye Xiruo sneered: "This is the Pill King's Palace. Do you dare to make a move?"

Tai Yanxi almost coughed up blood in frustration. His pair of jade-like hands were about to land on Ye Xiruo's face when they were blocked by an invisible true essence.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, he saw Zishu's face, which had a half-smile on it.

"You were the one who did it."

"Junior Sister, you've wasted too much time. Master will be unhappy." Zishu ignored the Ninth Princess and directly pulled Ye Xiruo's hand to walk forward.

"You lowly commoner, stop right now!"

Ye Xiruo and Zishu stopped and turned around at the same time, even the movement of their clothes was exactly the same, and their facial expressions were also surprisingly similar.

"Considering you are a guest, I will give you one last chance to apologize to your junior sister. Otherwise, you can leave now. My Pill King Palace does not need your congratulations, nor can it accept them."

Zishu's voice was calm, but the aura of a Nascent Soul expert emanated from him. The Ninth Princess, who was closest to him, turned pale, as if she had thought of something, and then glanced at the expressions of the people around her.

Pity, sympathy, ridicule...

She, a princess of such high status, needs the pity of people like you.

"Apologize, and I will not pursue the matter. After all, your words and actions only represent your personal views, not the entire royal family."

"You—" Tai Yanxi's face turned red with anger.

"Did I say anything wrong? Don't forget, I'm the main character today. To steal the spotlight, that's just how you behave, Princess." Ye Xiruo mocked mercilessly.

Amazed or intimidated by Zishu's powerful aura, no one dared to take a step forward.

"You are Ye Xiruo."

“Yes, the lowly people you’re talking about.” Ye Xiruo glanced at Tai Yanxi indifferently, her eyes looking at him as if he were an idiot.

This Ninth Princess is definitely a genetic mutation; she's just too stupid.

Tai Yanxi knew that things would probably not end well today. In her eyes, Ye Xiruo was nothing but an ant, but she could not disregard the face of the Pill King Palace. What should she do?
