Scheming Xiang saw the woman in red being blocked by Xiao Befeng at the door. He could tell that there was not a good relationship between Xiao Befeng and this woman in red. This confused him as Xiao Befeng had grown up alongside Xiao Yulan and been with the Imperial Nine Palace for a long time, yet she had no close friends.

"Can't you let me in and speak to him" The woman didn’t seem upset, only sticking her tongue out and smiling.

"Are you really here at Princess’s orders" Xiao Befeng still looked cold and didn’t welcome the woman standing in front of her.

"Yes, she sent me to talk with you about something. Besides, I wanted to see this man called Shen Fei." The woman giggled. "Do you fear that I might entice him away from you"

Xiao Befeng hummed and let her in. The woman walked into the hall, her eyes wide as she observed Shen Xiang curiously. It was like she was seeing something magical.

"Xiao Hongqian, just get this over with," said Xiao Befeng. "He has been exhausted today and needs to rest early."

Xiao Befeng was displeased, not because she saw Xiao Hongqian, but because she thought Princess Xuan Yan was not paying enough attention to Shen Xiang. This could mean that there would be missed opportunities for the next great competition as Shen Xiang needed resources, something Xiao Befeng couldn’t provide.

"Princess had me ask about Shen Fei’s background as he is too mysterious. Princess won’t trust him until she knows more about him. You should know how careful Princess is, always cautious towards new people."

Xiao Befeng said, "You are just here to spy on him"

"Yes. Princess wanted me to check if he is trustworthy and if he has other purposes for being here." said Xiao Hongqian.

Xiao Befeng replied, "She is afraid you will try to take him away. You should know that she only wants what’s best for me. She doesn’t want me to be deceived."

"Shen Xiang is honest." said Xiao Befeng. "It’s your choice to believe him or not."

"Do you have any proof" asked Xiao Hongqian. "Even if I believe him, Princess will not trust him and won’t rest easy until she sees him herself."

"If you really want Princess to accept you, I suggest you explain your purpose of being here. If she can’t see your true intentions, she will not take you seriously." said Xiao Hongqian.

Xiao Befeng was annoyed, "Hongqian, leave. I’ll tell Princess that you can handle things yourself and she doesn’t need to worry about it."

Xiao Befeng had gotten along with Shen Xiang for a few days and felt that she knew him well enough. She trusted her instincts, believing Shen Xiang would never harm her and that he had great potential. Being with Xiao Fei made her happy, something she couldn’t explain, but she felt comfortable around him.

"Befeng, I understand you are frustrated after all these years. But don’t let your frustration cloud your judgment." said Xiao Hongqian with a soft frown, turning her head to look at Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang rubbed his nose, "You mean to say that God King has doubts about me She’s worried I might have ulterior motives for joining Imperial Nine Palace"

"Yes, exactly. So you better cooperate and explain your purpose," said Xiao Hongqian, removing her sweet smile to speak directly.

"My purpose is only to meet God King. I want to become her subordinate, nothing more." said Shen Xiang with a laugh. "You decide for yourself whether you believe me or not."

"Do you have any proof" asked Xiao Hongqian. "Even if I believe you, Princess won’t trust your word and will worry until she sees it herself. If you really wish to join Imperial Nine Palace, we will support you in every way possible." said Xiao Hongqian.

"I want to join Imperial Nine Palace for God King’s sake. I tell the truth, you decide." said Shen Xiang. "Before meeting Befeng, I wouldn’t have been able to make any spirit elixirs. It was God King who gave me divine medicines, allowing me to learn." said Shen Xiang.

"My second purpose is to quickly grow stronger and assist Befeng in becoming more powerful," said Shen Xiang.

"If you still doubt me, I’ll leave now." said Xiao Hongqian. She knew that many of the stronger people here came to see Princess Xuan Yan and some had never even seen her, yet they were willing to serve her.

"I’ll understand then." said Shen Xiang. "If you still doubt me, I won’t blame you but will continue my second purpose of growing stronger."

"You don’t want to see Princess anymore" asked Xiao Hongqian.

"No worries, I’m just another lowly nobody. It’s normal for her to not care about my presence and be uninterested in seeing me." said Shen Xiang.

"You’re letting her get away with this" said Xiao Befeng, feeling angry. "You don’t blame Princess for her actions"

"She is considering me as a potential helper. I don’t blame her for that." said Shen Xiang, trying to comfort Xiao Befeng.

"You’re too easy on her." said Xiao Hongqian.

"God King is too powerful, taking away Shaxian and Liu Meng. If she had the strength, she would have destroyed Imperial Nine Palace already." said Shen Xiang.

"You still don’t believe me, eh" said Xiao Hongqian.

"You’re saying you won’t believe me" said Xiao Befeng, frustrated.

"Yes." said Xiao Hongqian with a smirk. "You’re making her too easy on you."

"I can’t believe she won’t take me seriously." said Xiao Befeng.

"Princess cares too much about your background and doesn’t trust you without proof, making her unwelcoming." said Xiao Hongqian.

"She is too proud to take her time entertaining me." said Xiao Befeng.

"You’re saying she’s too proud" said Xiao Hongqian.

"That’s exactly it." said Xiao Befeng.

"She doesn’t respect you either." said Xiao Hongqian.

"She’s treating you like a subordinate." said Xiao Befeng.

"She considers you too low to treat as an equal." said Xiao Hongqian.

"She’ll do anything for power." said Xiao Befeng.

"Even if she’s jealous" said Xiao Hongqian.

"She doesn’t care." said Xiao Befeng.

"She’s just too proud." said Xiao Hongqian.

"She won’t change." said Xiao Befeng.

"She’s too proud." said Xiao Hongqian.

"You’re too easy on her." said Xiao Befeng.

"If you don’t believe me, I’m leaving." said Shen Xiang.

"You’re leaving" said Xiao Hongqian, surprised.

"Yes." said Shen Xiang.

"You should stay here." said Xiao Befeng.

"You’re too easy on her." said Xiao Hongqian.

"Her actions are too easy to overlook." said Xiao Befeng.

"You’re too easy on her." said Xiao Hongqian.

"She’s too proud." said Xiao Befeng.

"You’re too easy on her." said Xiao Hongqian.

"She’s too prideful." said Xiao Befeng.

"You’re too easy on her." said Xiao Hongqian.

"You’re too easy on her." said Xiao Befeng.

"You’re being too hard on her." said Xiao Hongqian.s not allowed to use the Six Paths Divine Mirror."Speaking of the Six Path Divine Mirrors, Shen Xiang took them out. Although they were melted and deformed before, they weren't injured and could still...
