Chapter 2842: Chapter 2843: Princess Qinse’s Troubles

As the Chaos Qi gathered, strands of this energy finally were forced in front of Ye Luo, who then used a special bottle to contain it.

Nonetheless, even so, the energy in this bottle remained invisible to the naked eye!

Following this, Ye Luo continued to collect this energy.

As time ticked by, the Wudang disciples began enthusiastically constructing buildings. Being cultivators, working day and night was not a difficult task for them.

However, Yu’er was pouting, sitting atop a large rock, clearly in a sulky mood.

"This guy, it’s been two days, and he hasn’t come out to accompany me! Obviously, he doesn’t care about me!" she muttered to herself.

"Who says I don’t miss you!"

Suddenly, she felt her body warm up as she was wrapped into an embrace. The familiarity of the scent made her reluctant to pull away.

Ye Luo watched her with amusement, surprised to see such a girlish side of her.

"Have you... finished your work?"

She seemed a bit embarrassed, as what she had just said was muttered to herself, yet Ye Luo heard every word clearly!

Ye Luo laughed heartily, naturally understanding her thoughts, "Everything’s done. Things are on track here, so you can come with me to the Royal City now!"

"Really?" Yu’er lifted her head immediately; she had been staying with the sect members for days, none of whom shared any topics of interest with her. It was stifling.

Besides, she had long heard about the prosperity of the Royal Capital. If not for settling Wudang, she would have entered the city long ago.

At her request, the two set off right away, heading straight for the Royal City.

Ye Luo came to Wudang to settle matters and prepare a gift for the King of Huainan. Now that both tasks were completed, staying there held no further purpose.

Along the way, Yu’er was like a bird freed from its cage, cheerfully chatting, taking interest in everything.

Ye Luo knew she only showed such an authentic side in front of him; otherwise, she remained the cold Emissary to others.

Upon entering the Royal Capital, the sights, especially the street snacks, captivated her. If not for Ye Luo pulling her along, she might not have made it into the city today.

"Oh my, Ye Luo, is this your mansion? How luxurious it is!"

Upon reaching the Royal Teacher’s Mansion, Mo Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"What do you think? Should we consider it as our wedding chamber?" Ye Luo joked.

"Really? But I feel like there are women in this mansion, and not just one! With how many women do you plan to share your marriage chamber?" Yu’er said with a melancholy tone.

Ye Luo fell silent immediately; a woman’s intuition can be terrifying at times.

Then, Ye Luo led her inside. When they learned Qiong Yao was in seclusion, it was only natural for her to stay in the main hall.

The King of Huainan’s Mansion was bustling in recent days because a grand celebration for the King’s birthday was approaching. The mansion was ornately decorated, lanterns galore.

Among the Third Forces, this was quite an event! Moreover, King of Huainan had a rule that his birthday banquet was held every three years, so distant forces arrived early at his mansion.

Of course, only those renowned and powerful forces could reside in the King’s mansion, while lesser forces considered it fortunate to have housing in the Royal City.

Hence, the entire Royal City was in an enthusiastic uproar because of this grand event.

However, this also gave headaches to the city’s guards, as disputes arose due to the increased number of cultivators within the city. Most of the inhabitants were mortals, yet these mortals had no fear of cultivators.

Thus, the busiest person these days was Qin Se.

These mortals had only attained their current status under Qin Se’s protection; otherwise, merely surviving would have been hard, let alone achieving any prominence.

Late at night, Qin Se returned to the main hall, exhausted, she didn’t go upstairs but went straight to Ye Luo.

At that moment, Ye Luo was meditating on a meditation cushion, while Yu’er beside him was looking at Qin Se with confusion and surprise.

She naturally understood Qin Se’s status, but residing on the second floor of the main hall, she seldom disturbed the pair.

"Encountered trouble?" Ye Luo asked as he opened his eyes.

Qin Se nodded slightly, "Those damn foreign cultivators have already caused the deaths of dozens of ordinary people in recent days! If this continues, their plight will worsen!"

Ye Luo understood that with Qin Se’s protection, other cultivators restrained from attacking mortals; inherently, cultivators looked down on mortals, feeling as if ordinary people were no different from insects.

But due to Qin Se’s influence, they refrained from acting against mortals. Now, however, this balance was disrupted by the foreign cultivators!

Once casualties occur, it’s an opening for all city cultivators to change their attitude towards mortals.

"Protecting these mortals with just your strength is barely sustainable! You are shielding them using your princess status. Even if cultivators start targeting mortals, what can you do? They hail from powerful forces, and even guards cannot act against them! And you? You can’t execute them; it’s against the rules!"

Hearing this, Qin Se furrowed her brows, "That’s my main concern. These cultivators have significant backing. If killed, it creates other problems! Plus, I can’t just kill all these cultivators; the implications would be too vast!"

"Therefore, to protect these mortals, a set of rules must be established, a basis wherein these mortals hold value to the entire city, benefiting the nobility! Otherwise, these rules can never be set! Moreover, the rules must gain the recognition of the nobility! But first, the approval of the King of Huainan is necessary!"

Qin Se abruptly looked up, joy appearing in her eyes, "Teacher, are you referring to what you call law?"

Ye Luo shook his head, "This is far from being a law, merely a rule or regulation. Currently, the Third Forces are not suited for the establishment of law; perhaps this is but a start!"

Qin Se nodded heavily, "Teacher, I understand what to do now; I must go see my father!"

With that, she turned and walked out.

Ye Luo sighed, his words seemed simple, but implementation would be extraordinarily challenging.
