Chapter 472 "The Invitation from North Qing (p2)"

“The ten candidates for the Star Cave Venture has already been elected. I, my brother and my sister are also part of the list." Hong Ming Yue's words were particularly eerie to Ling Yue's ear.

The self-interests within the decision making couldn't be anymore obvious.

Fine, very good. They are using my achievements to explore the Star Cave, she sneers inside, very much displeased over the fact that she just got robbed.

“Ling Yue, things are not what you think, Father he… he believes this is the ideal arrangement since you are preoccupied with the black fog in the Northwest…." Xia Hou Qi still wanted to explain himself for not bringing something this important up earlier, but that swiftly came to a blundering halt under the glaring contact of Ling Yue's iris.

It's not like the king truly didn't consider Ling Yue's candidacy for the venture, just that a secret letter that he got aside from the invitation left him with no room for refusal. It was a message indicating that Princess Qing Bi and Xia Hou Qi are a match made in heaven, meaning the lad must partic.i.p.ate in the Star Cave Venture.

As a father, as a ruler of a nation, there's no way the King of Da Xia would willingly want to risk his main heir on such superficial adventures. Sadly, this was already out of his hands and involved the relations.h.i.+p of both nations.

“Without official doc.u.ment, none of you are qualified to enter North Qing." Coming back to her sense after being frightened earlier, Princess Qing Bi reverts back to her spoiled self and starts yapping that foul mouth again.

She simply didn't want to let the compet.i.tion go to North Qing with them because she could see the care Xia Hou Qi showed when learning of the girl's injury.

“Captain Cong Lu, I like to know if this ident.i.ty token is enough to let me into North Qing," she sneers, bringing out the Phoenix Edict from her pocket.

According to Ling Yue's memory, Cong Lu mentioned something about this badge being able to grant her free pa.s.sage across any territory controlled by that nation.

She may not be the brightest individual out there but she does have prior knowledge of what the Phoenix Manor's identification badge looks like. The reasoning? It's because during her childhood, this spoiled girl had specifically requested Feng Shen to gift the gorgeous thing to herself, just that the lad completely ignored her at the end.

However, just when she's about to slash down with her blade at Ling Yue's hand, three compelling hollers instantly shook her out of the moment and made Qing Bi back off.

“You dare!” It was Cong Lu, Xia Hou Qi and Yan Jiu screaming in unison.

“All of you! Cong Lu, even you would yell at me?" As a royal princess, when have Qing Bi experience such indignation?
