Otherworld Advance Team-Chapter 1788 - 1781: Princess Ying’er

"Princess, what are you talking about?" the burly man slightly frowned, asking in confusion.

"It’s not those two princesses," Huayu Xuan said mysteriously.

Seeing Huayu Xuan’s mysterious expression, the people around him looked at each other, unsure of what he was thinking. The burly man hesitated for a moment, then pointed at him and said, "Wait here, I’ll go report to the master!"

"It’s you who need me now, so be polite." Huayu Xuan looked around, speaking slowly.

The burly man quickly returned after entering the house deep in the alley. His attitude towards Huayu Xuan changed drastically, as he bowed respectfully and said, "Young Mansion, the master invites you inside for detailed discussion."

"Hmph!"

Huayu Xuan seemed to have anticipated this outcome, coldly snorted, and strode directly into the house.

Inside, the light was dim, and the sunlight made the dust in the air sparkle. The room had a strong medicinal smell, and at the dark end of the room, an old man sat quietly at a table, waiting for Huayu Xuan to arrive.

Huayu Xuan walked straight to the old man’s side. The old man raised his head, squinting at the young man in front of him. After coughing, he spoke in a voice full of years: "As Young Mansion, you are a minister of the Wen Family, yet also part of the Gongxin Association, and somehow you mix with remnants like us."

"It’s just a different way of living, I’ve never thought of myself as any minister of the Wen Family." Huayu Xuan sat opposite the old man.

"I know, you’ve always been like this, opportunistic, swaying wherever benefits you, ignoring any stance. So I’m curious, what did Ichuan Fei do to wrong you, making you resent him so much?"

"Your Highness, we’re not here to discuss this. If you want to mock me, let’s wait until we have time to talk slowly." Huayu Xuan supported his elbow on the table, leaning forward slightly, speaking earnestly.

"Oh, apologies, let’s talk business," the old man took a deep breath, unable to hide his urgency, "You mentioned you’ve seen Ying’er, where is she, has she arrived in Kyushu too?"

"Calm down, Your Highness," Huayu Xuan said unhurriedly, "My people told me they saw a girl wielding Royal Dao’s Qi Force, which is extremely fierce. I speculate she could be the person you’re looking for."

"Indeed, the Royal family’s technique is fierce, even a woman, but her Qi Force is unusually aggressive, no less than a man’s. It must be her," the old man trembled with excitement.

"Where is she?" the old man asked urgently.

"If you find her, what does Your Highness plan to do?" Huayu Xuan did not answer directly but asked instead.

"What to do? Of course, it’s a duel before the throne, to oust the usurper from the throne and avenge past disgrace!" The old man became increasingly agitated.

"Your Highness plans to have the Princess enter the palace for a duel?" Huayu Xuan asked.

"Could it be me? The old man uttered a sorrowful voice, closing his eyes in pain, "The position that should have been mine was usurped by that hypocrite. The Yichuan Clan, all talk of morality and ethics, doing vile deeds. Not only did it cost me all my power, but they also tried to hunt us father and daughter. Had it not been for the assistance of the Jianghu masters, we would have died long ago."

"Your Highness should know," Huayu Xuan crossed his arms, leaning back against the chair, "The Wen Family doesn’t care who the Emperor Wu is. If His Majesty can gain the Wen Family’s recognition, they would gladly support Your Highness ascending the throne. The premise is that Your Highness mustn’t associate with the Wu Family."

"Are you sent by the Wen Family to persuade surrender? If I disagree, are you prepared to eliminate us?" the old man squinted his eyes, asking cautiously.

"Don’t misunderstand, Your Highness. I came here alone," Huayu Xuan explained, "In the Wen Family, probably only I know of Your Highness’s existence, so don’t worry."

"I hate the Wen Family, a bunch of hypocrites always talking about righteousness, unlike the carefree Wu Family." the old man said.

"But it was the Wen Family’s governance that allowed the Empire to enjoy peace for over two hundred years, does Your Highness wish to return to the era of Wu Family’s rule, a nation changing every century?" Huayu Xuan asked.

"It’s merely showing mercy, cutting others’ flesh to feed the commoners. Such methods, even I can conceive, how could they be the Wen Family’s credit?" the old man said dismissively.

"Is it really like that..." Huayu Xuan sighed lightly.

"Are you here to lecture me or to inform me of Ying’er’s whereabouts?" the old man asked displeasedly.

"Forgive me, Your Highness, though I am just an opportunist, the Wen Family’s governance is currently very stable. So I dare to hope that, should Your Highness assume power someday, you maintain the status quo without major purges." Huayu Xuan pondered and said.

"You’re teaching me how to act?"

"I’m just ensuring my interests aren’t harmed." Huayu Xuan said flatly.

"If I succeed, I will ensure you wealth and glory, you needn’t worry about that." the old man said.

"Really?"

Facing Huayu Xuan’s hesitation, the old man took a deep breath, calming his anger, speaking calmly: "If I become the master, my conflict is only with the Yichuan Clan. As for the Wen Family, as long as they acknowledge me, I will not trouble them. The country can be governed by the Cabinet, is this satisfactory."

"That’s good." Huayu Xuan nodded.

"Then, can you tell me where Ying’er is?" the old man asked urgently.

"Does Your Highness remember how Ying’er was sent away?" Huayu Xuan continued to ask.

"It was over twenty years ago, how could I remember so many details... That astrologer told me the child was sent to another corner of this world, she would come back to find me someday," the old man closed his eyes and said.

"Recently, some Western Continent people came to the city, does Your Highness know?"

"Of course I know, it’s unbelievable that he’s appointed that Westerner as the National Master, surely coveting their Nascent Soul Realm cultivation." The old man thought for a while and said.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized, asked wide-eyed: "Are you saying Ying’er is one of the Western Continent people?"

"There’s a girl beside the National Master called White Tiger. She’s quite different compared to other Western Continent people." Huayu Xuan said.

"Different?"

"Western Continent people can’t cultivate, I’ve never seen them cultivate, but that girl is a Royal Dao expert, and the technique she uses is the fierce Royal family technique." Huayu Xuan said.

"How old is that girl?" The old man was so excited by Huayu Xuan’s clues that he could hardly speak.

"About twenty years old." Huayu Xuan thought for a while and said.

"Where did you see her, how do you know it’s her?" the old man asked, his voice trembling.

"West Outer Heaven," Huayu Xuan replied, "Upon recalling after the action in West Outer Heaven, that girl hasn’t made much move since, the Western Continent people must know her importance."

"I, no, I want to go find her!" The old man suddenly stood up, speaking excitedly.

"What does Your Highness plan to do?" Huayu Xuan asked, tilting his head slightly.

"Plan, plan what, of course to bring Ying’er back. I can finally see my daughter..." the old man said, unable to hold back his tears.

"Your Highness, she considers the Western Continent people as family, she doesn’t recognize you as her father." Huayu Xuan said calmly.

"Huayu Xuan, how dare you utter such nonsense!" The old man pointed at him angrily.

"Your Highness is merely Princess Ying’er’s father, but the Princess grew up with the Western Continent people. In her eyes, who is her family? Would she truly abandon the Western Continent people who raised her for a so-called father?"

Huayu Xuan didn’t know Feng’s situation in the Western Continent, so he mistakenly thought she was raised by the Advance Team. In fact, Feng was watched over by the Seer, only joining the Advance Team eight years ago.

"What should be done?" The old man was momentarily caught in hesitation.

"That is Your Highness’s matter to decide, I only relay the information," Huayu Xuan said, "I advise Your Highness, if there are no direct confrontational interests, it’s best not to provoke the Western Continent people, they have two Nascent Soul Realm experts."

"Two, two?" The old man widened his eyes, evidently surprised by the intelligence Huayu Xuan revealed.

"I’ve said all I need to," Huayu Xuan slowly stood up, "I only hope Your Highness will keep the promise and remember my contributions."
