After a brief silence, the Guard Captain imdiately knelt on the ground.
"Greetings, Princess Xiu!"
Subsequently, the other guards also knelt.
After all, Princess Xiu’s prestige within the Moonwater Tribe was well-known, and even though they felt her relationship with the tribe was sowhat delicate, they dared not disrespect her.
"So, even I cannot enter the Moonwater Palace now?" Princess Xiu didn’t care about their salutes and instead asked coldly.
At this mont, she was entirely different from when she was in front of Ye Luo, almost like two extres!
One was gentle as water, while the one before them was imposing, radiating a queenly aura.
Even Ye Luo subconsciously distanced himself from her, as she now seed to keep everyone at arm’s length.
"This!" The Guard Captain was imdiately in a difficult position.
The task he received was that no one was allowed to enter the Moonwater Palace, a task given directly by the Ancestor. Although he was the Grand Elder, if there was any mistake, his life would be at risk; the Ancestor had already made this very clear to him before.
Therefore, he dared not let Princess Xiu enter the Moonwater Palace.
"Princess Xiu, please don’t make it difficult for us!" The Guard Captain smiled bitterly.
Princess Xiu nodded slightly, "Fine, I won’t make it difficult for you. Call Shui Yuehan out!" she said coldly.
"Who is causing a commotion here!"
An angry rebuke ca from the sky, truly heard before the person was seen.
At this mont, those guards quieted down. Wasn’t Princess Xiu asking to see Shui Yuehan? Now that the main person had co, there was nothing for the guards to do anymore.
Even the Guard Captain breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Shui Yuehan was the Ancestor’s appointed candidate for the future Clan Leader, much higher in status than these Elders and Grand Elders!
"Hmph, years have passed, and your aura is quite strong!" Princess Xiu said coldly.
At this mont, Shui Yuehan descended from the sky, but upon hearing Princess Xiu’s voice, her figure visibly trembled a few tis.
"You... Sister, you’ve really awakened!" Shui Yuehan’s eyes widened, and her expression imdiately changed.
Regardless of the surprised looks from those around, she quickly ca to Princess Xiu’s side, and upon confirming it was indeed Princess Xiu, her expression imdiately turned to excitent.
"Did you hope I’d never wake up!" Princess Xiu’s eyes remained cold.
"Sister, what are you saying? Even if it ant exchanging my life for yours to awaken, I would be willing!" Shui Yuehan hurriedly said.
"No need to say such insincere words, let in to see the Ancestor!" Princess Xiu said directly.
"This!" Shui Yuehan was also at a loss.
"What, afraid I’ll take your future Clan Leader position after waking?" Princess Xiu sneered.
"Sister, your words truly grieve . The Ancestors are currently in secluded cultivation; it is not convenient. Ancestor has ordered that no one is to disturb them. You know the Ancestor’s temper! How about this, Sister, co to my Cave Mansion first, to quell my longing for you!" Shui Yuehan suggested with a smile.
"Very well!" This ti, Princess Xiu said no more and surprisingly agreed.
Then, the guards dispersed, and Shui Yuehan held Princess Xiu’s hand, appearing extraordinarily affectionate, while Ye Luo followed them.
Throughout, Shui Yuehan did not look at Ye Luo, which made him sowhat puzzled and a bit frustrated.
This girl, she really ignored him!
Soon, they arrived at the simple Cave Mansion, and Shui Yuehan seed to enjoy this place very much; it had beco increasingly simple, and she would not clean the furnishings inside, which had gathered a thick layer of dust.
"I really didn’t expect you could endure such grievance, living here all the ti!" Princess Xiu surveyed the place, her eyes rare in their gentleness.
"It’s because Sister built this with her own hands; as long as this shack is here, I’ll live here forever!" Shui Yuehan finally smiled, "Sister, have so tea!"
With that, she handed one cup to Shui Yuexiu and placed another in front of Ye Luo, now finally giving him a direct glance.
"Though I know this tea isn’t to your taste, I’ve still poured you a cup!"
After speaking, she turned back to Princess Xiu, making Ye Luo feel sowhat inexplicable.
This was the sa tasteless tea as last ti, naturally, Ye Luo would not drink it.
Princess Xiu glanced over, her smile growing, "I’ve told you so many tis, tea isn’t made this way, yet you refuse to believe ; I didn’t expect you’ve been drinking it for so long!"
Shui Yuehan leaned close to Princess Xiu, her head resting on her arm.
"When I was little, I asked Sister how this tea ca to be, and you told that it’s just tea leaves dried and then brewed in water. Since then, I’ve collected leaves, dried them, and brewed tea. Though it lacks the taste of tea, it carries your essence!"
After speaking, the two won fell silent, seemingly lost in their mories.
"Han’er, you and Bing’er both grew up under my watch. Whether Qingxiu Peak or this Moonwater Palace, they are parts of the Moonwater Tribe. Nowadays, it might only be taken advantage of by outsiders. If true conflict arises, the Moonwater Tribe and Qingxiu Peak will beco territories of other tribes! You should understand the stakes here!" After a long ti, Princess Xiu spoke softly.
But upon hearing this, Shui Yuehan lifted her head from her arm, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
"Sister, you should know our Moonwater Tribe, how can I decide on these matters? The Ancestors refuse to see you; isn’t that clear enough? You shouldn’t have co here!"
Princess Xiu squinted her eyes imdiately, "So, the Moonwater Tribe truly plans to collude with Kunshan Group, act as the tiger’s accomplice? Could the Ancestors truly make such foolish decisions?"
Upon hearing this, Shui Yuehan’s expression changed, "Sister, you..."
However, before she could finish, several powerful energies enveloped the Cave Mansion.
"Had I not provoked you with words, you might have continued observing from outside for a while longer, right? This certainly puts Xiu’er in a difficult position; Xiu’er was waiting to pay respects to the Ancestors!" Shui Yuexiu said. Though her words were polite, her tone was rather cold.
"Xiu’er, we appreciate your sentints!"
Subsequently, three figures appeared in the shack; it was indeed the three Ancestors!
Ye Luo was secretly shocked; these three Ancestors excelled in concealnt, even he hadn’t noticed them, which showed that Princess Xiu’s strength was truly extraordinary, likely beyond Ye Luo’s expectations.
