Princess Xia Yue's appearance caused a stir.
Qin Xin, who was standing to the side, also saw the maid Xiao Mei follow Xia Yue as she got off the carriage.
However, when Xiao Mei looked in Qin Xin's direction, there was a hint of doubt in her eyes. Seeing that Qin Xin, who had been disguised, did not make any unusual movements, she turned her head away.
Upon seeing Princess Xia Yue alight from the carriage, the leader of the Eastern Wilderness Academy maintained his previous arrogant attitude.
Although the Eastern Wilderness Academy is the strongest academy in the Eastern Wilderness, its disciples will eventually leave. Most of them will stay in the Great Xia Dynasty, since in the secular world, the Great Xia Dynasty's strength far surpasses that of the other two dynasties.
The leader of the Eastern Wilderness Academy stepped forward, bowed slightly, and slowly said, "I didn't expect it to be Princess Xia Yue. This is all my fault for being reckless."
"It's alright, check it as soon as possible," Xia Yue said, waving her hand.
After the leader of the Eastern Wilderness Academy called out to the disciples behind him, he inspected the group but found nothing.
"Wait!"
Just as they were about to let them through, a very discordant voice suddenly rang out.
A rather ornate carriage came into view, with a striking golden sun emblem on it.
After the people in the carriage got out, Qin Xin also showed a hint of surprise.
Because inside the carriage were Xia Qi and Hu Zhe from the Xuan Tian Sword Sect.
"Oh? So it's Senior Brother Hu from the Xuantian Sword Sect. Didn't Senior Gongsun lead his disciples back to Zhongzhou the day before yesterday? Why didn't you return with them?" The leading disciple from the Eastern Wilderness Academy stepped forward with some curiosity and asked.
Unexpectedly, Hu Zhe said lightly, "Does the Xuan Tian Sword Sect need to report its actions to your Eastern Wilderness Academy?"
His tone was domineering, and although the disciples of the Eastern Wilderness Academy felt very uncomfortable with his words, none of them dared to refute him.
The disciples of Donghuang Academy dared not continue to obstruct them. Stopping Xia Yue for inspection was already their limit. If they angered Hu Zhe, they would all suffer the consequences. After all, Donghuang Academy was not yet in charge of guarding Suiye City, and Yun Lei, who brought them here, was nowhere to be found.
Xia Qi then brought Hu Zhe to Xia Yue's side and said with a fawning expression, "Senior Brother Hu, this is the sister I told you about, Xia Yue!"
After seeing Xia Yue's face, Hu Zhe didn't look away for a moment. This direct gaze disgusted Xia Yue, but due to his status, she couldn't directly express her anger.
"Princess Xia Yue, I am Hu Zhe. The Second Prince often mentions you to me!" Hu Zhe appeared refined and courteous as he bowed before Xia Yue.
If Qin Xin didn't know this person's character, he might also be deceived by his gentlemanly appearance.
“Sister, this is the Senior Brother Hu I told you about. Now that Ruan Yuan has been killed by Qin Xin, the marriage between the royal family and the Ruan clan has been temporarily called off. However, if you can become Senior Brother Hu’s Daoist partner, it will be a beautiful story in the Great Xia Dynasty.” Xia Qi stepped forward and said.
Qin Xin, who was standing to the side, understood what was going on. Ruan Yuan had been killed by Qin Xin, so the marriage between the Great Xia royal family and the Ruan clan was naturally called off, and Xia Yue was also freed. However, Qin Xin did not know why she left Zhongzhou.
However, Xia Qi, who had previously escaped Qin Xin's sword formation using an escape talisman, now planned to introduce his younger sister to Hu Zhe in order to join the Xuan Tian Sword Sect.
“Second Prince, there’s no need to insist.” Hu Zhe waved his hand to Xia Qi, then said, “Now that Princess Xia Yue has entered the Spirit Beast Sect, we will likely have many opportunities to meet in the future. After all, you are unfamiliar with the Central Plains, so please feel free to ask if you need anything.”
"Thank you in advance, Senior Brother Hu, but may I leave now?" Xia Yue naturally understood what her second brother meant, but she had absolutely no interest in this Hu Zhe.
Seeing his younger sister turn to get into the carriage, Xia Qi quickly stepped forward to stop her. "Sister, on the way to Zhongzhou, we will likely encounter many powerful demonic beasts. The group behind you alone may not be able to protect your safety. Fortunately, Father has sent many royal experts to escort us. How about we travel together?"
Xia Yue turned around and, with Xiao Mei's help, got into the carriage. Her indifferent voice rang out, "No need, Boss Yu, we can go now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu beckoned everyone to enter the depths of the withered leaf forest.
Seeing his sister leave like that, Xia Qi's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness. "This girl is always like this, refusing to listen to reason and then having to suffer the consequences!"
"After returning to the royal family from the Eastern Wilderness Academy, this girl seems to have changed. Moreover, she has been inquiring about Qin Xin's whereabouts while in the royal family. I wonder if the two of them have done something shady. What are you pretending for? If you ask me, Senior Brother Hu, how about I use some methods to let you take her down directly?"
After saying that, a lewd smile appeared on Xia Qi's face.
After a slight smile appeared on Hu Zhe's lips, he immediately pretended to refuse, saying, "I don't like to use force, and it's said that Princess Xia Yue's martial spirit is the Heavenly Enchantress Purple Spirit Fox."
"Yes!" Xia Qi quickly replied.
Hu Zhe nodded thoughtfully and said, "No wonder the Spirit Beast Sect was able to recruit her. Once we enter the Central Continent, there will be plenty of opportunities to capture her."
Xia Qi chimed in, "Senior Brother Hu's considerations are indeed thorough. If we were to fight here, it would likely cause a lot of trouble if word got back to the Spirit Beast Sect. However, once we enter Zhongzhou, the girl will be unfamiliar with the place and people, and she will naturally kneel before Senior Brother Hu."
Hu Zhe and the others were following behind Xia Yue. After leaving the gates of Suiye City, they suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, we heard that Yun Lei was searching for Qin Xin like a madman. Has he been dealt with yet?"
Xia Qi's face twitched slightly. He had witnessed the terror of Qin Xin's sword formation before. If it weren't for the life-saving talisman his father had given him, he would probably have died at Qin Xin's hands.
So much so that now, whenever he hears Qin Xin's name, a nameless fear arises in his heart, and he says with a trembling voice, "According to reports from the warriors that the royal family has placed in various cities, Yun Lei seems to have found the spatial rings of Jia Yan and Yun Yi, but has not found any trace of Qin Xin."
"Moreover, it seems that Yun Lei went to the Qin Clan in Tianyuan City, wanting to take revenge on Qin Xin's family, but he was stopped by a powerful figure. Moreover, Rong Ling and Hua Jin are both staying in the Qin Clan in Tianyuan City, so Yun Lei can't make a move for the time being."
Xia Qi's words were filled with hatred for Qin Xin. He continued, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Hu. As long as Yun Lei finds Qin Xin, he will probably kill him directly. Moreover, the royal family has also arranged for people to search for Qin Xin's whereabouts."
Upon hearing this, Hu Zhe nodded. He no longer cared about Qin Xin at all, since he was just a kid from the Eastern Wilderness and posed no danger to him.
Moreover, ever since he saw Xia Yue's beauty, he has been focused on how to win her over; otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Xia Qi into the Xuan Tian Sword Sect.
