——–
Cultivation at the Immortal Ascension Realm was already considered strong within the capital.
There were people who had reached such cultivation, but not many.
In just a hundred years, even in a grand era, the royal family's speed of improvement was not that substantial.
So far, not a single immortal had appeared.
However, they did hold hope.
Just give it a few more years, and perhaps the first Human Emperor would emerge.
By then, even if the royal family was in a weaker position, they wouldn't be too passive.
But for now, it's still best not to provoke Soul Ascension Realm experts if possible.
The steward of the capital arrived at the gate at the earliest opportunity.
Upon seeing Auntie Qiao, he was stunned.
Especially facing that terrifying aura, it was clear to see she wasn't an ordinary ascendant.
But why had she suddenly taken action?
Was this to build momentum for Princess Bi Zhu?
Looking at the princess again, she still seemed like an ordinary person.
Could it be that her lifespan was running short and she wished to act willfully?
But how could that be?
Auntie Qiao's swift promotion surely meant she had adequate fortune.
Such great fortune, and yet Princess Bi Zhu had not embarked on the path of cultivation?
Well, a princess of Bi Zhu's advanced age would have taken up cultivation already if she were able.
If she had concealed her cultivation, it would become clear when her time came in a few decades.
There was no point in pondering over it.
“Princess Bi Zhu,” the steward approached the gate and respectfully bowed, “What brings you here?”
“I want to go back, but they won't let me in,” Bi Zhu stated truthfully.
The steward glanced at the panic-stricken guards and asked:”Why didn't you go in and pass on the message?”
“We… we didn't know there was a princess without an updated token, we thought it was fake,” the guard replied, head bowed.
“Pack your things and leave,” said the steward offhandedly.
He then led Bi Zhu inside.
“Follow me, Princess. You haven't been back for a long time; the princes often ask about you, but we should first get you a new token,” the steward said with a smile.
“The steward is treating me with such courtesy?” Bi Zhu said, somewhat surprised.
In the past, whenever she returned, everyone looked at her with disdain.
“Of course,” the steward replied with a smile.
Auntie Qiao had watched Bi Zhu grow up.
Now that even an ascendant stood by her side, how could he dare to act presumptuously?
After receiving a new token, Bi Zhu examined it for a long while: “It's quite pretty. Who made this?”
“It's Princess Nan Qing,” the steward replied.
At that, Bi Zhu was surprised: “Sister?”
“She's not the youngest anymore. Besides, Princess Nan Qing's strength has already reached the middle stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm,” the steward said, looking at Bi Zhu:
“She could be called the first among her peers, the royal family's top prodigy.”
“Therefore, His Majesty has conferred upon Nan Qing the title of top disciple among the princesses.
“Which means, all princesses must address her as 'royal sister'.”
Hearing this, Bi Zhu was taken aback: “She's not even two hundred years old, is she?”
“And now she's considered a royal sister?”
“The worthy lead,” the steward replied with a smile.
“So, do the princes call her royal sister or sister?” Bi Zhu curiously inquired.
“Royal sister,” the steward said with a smile: “After all, among all the princes, no one surpasses her cultivation, at best they are equal.
“But the time they have taken is several times that of her.
“A term of 'royal sister' seems well deserved.”
Bi Zhu didn't care either way.
After he left, Bi Zhu pouted: “Me, at eighteen, calling her royal sister, doesn't seem so bad, right?”
“Princess, it's better if you don't meet Princess Nan Qing,” Auntie Qiao chimed in.
“Auntie Qiao, your cultivation is too weak. If you were stronger than her, would I not have to call her 'royal sister'?”
“This is what comes of you not cultivating diligently,” Bi Zhu said, laughing.
It seemed as if the terms royal sister and sister did not matter to her at all.
“Yes, it's because I have not cultivated properly, Princess, please forgive me,” Auntie Qiao said earnestly.
Indeed, her fortune and the breadth of her experiences supported her.
By now, she should have reached the late stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm.
But she remained weaker.
Then she grew curious: “Princess, when you are two hundred years old, what will your cultivation be?”
“I'm only eighteen,” Bi Zhu insisted stubbornly and then explained:
“A grand era is different from that time.
“Nowadays, people find it easier to improve their cultivation, and becoming an immortal is also easier.
“If you think about it, she probably became an immortal around the same time as me.
“She will need at least another two hundred years or so.
“Auntie Qiao, if you cultivate diligently, you won't be far behind.”
Hearing this, Auntie Qiao solemnly said: “I will ascend before her and make her call the Princess 'royal sister'.”
Bi Zhu rolled her eyes: “Of course, at eighteen, I'm naturally the younger sister.”
She then hastily said: “Let's go and find Sister Wen Xue first.”
A moment later.
“I knew there was a sign from our ancestors when something stirred, turns out it was the royal sister's return,” Wen Xue said, looking at the person in the courtyard, at a loss for words.
“Does Sister Wen Xue dislike me?” Bi Zhu asked with a smile.
“Maybe it's the ancestors who dislike you,” Wen Xue replied.
“Impossible, when I went to pay my respects, the ancestors manifested their presence, they were quite excited,” Bi Zhu stated confidently.
Wen Xue was at a loss for what to say, knowing even the ancestors would like to dispatch her from their sanctuary.
Wen Xue then reminded her:
“The Emperor has decreed that Nan Qing is now the top princess, and from now on, we must all call her 'royal sister'.”
“Be careful, royal sister, and don't claim to be the royal family's top prodigy.”
“She's already at the middle stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm.
“Among all the descendants of the royal family, no one can match her.”
“Even now, if someone is on par with her, in a few more years, she will be unmatched by anyone.”
“It is said that in a hundred years, she will be ready to ascend.”
“At least two hundred more years,” Bi Zhu corrected.
“Not at all, everyone in the palace says a hundred years should suffice,” Wen Xue disagreed.
“Two hundred years wouldn't be enough to ascend,” Bi Zhu claimed.
“How can you be so sure, royal sister?” Wen Xue asked.
“Of course, because I have ascended, walked the path forged to immortality. I am the royal family's top prodigy; when I ascended, her cultivation wasn't going so smoothly yet,” Bi Zhu said.
