In her anxiety, her eyes shifted suddenly as she came up with an idea: "True Monarch, you mustnât misunderstand. You definitely have the right to pass your legacy to anyone. But before you make a decision, shouldnât we give the young talents of our Immortal Dynasty a fair chance to compete?"
Hundred Refinements True Monarch raised his thick eyebrows, just about to retort with displeasure, when Wang Ningxi quickly grabbed him: "True Monarch, I think the Eldest Princess makes a fair point. Besides, Ningxi does not fear competition from peers."
"How can those misfits compare to you?" Hundred Refinements True Monarch grumbled with extreme dissatisfaction.
"At least show some face to the Eldest Princess?" Wang Ningxi coaxed in a low voice, "I know we tech-minded folks tend to be straightforward. But at the very least, this way, we can silence gossips. Ningxi would not want the True Monarch to end up with a lifetime of infamy."
"Alright, alright~ Since Ningxi is so filial, this True Monarch is truly gratified." Hundred Refinements True Monarch declared decisively, "I will give the Eldest Princess some face. If she truly can find an artifact refining genius comparable to Ningxi, and their character passes, Iâll prioritize passing the legacy to that genius."
Eldest Princess Suiyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then itâs settled. Give me three days â no, five days. Suiyun bids you farewell for now."
With that said, she hurriedly prepared to leave, but unexpectedly, her hem was caught before she could take two steps.
"Suiyun sister, I donât want to stay with this group of old men. Can I follow you and play for these few days?" Princess Hua Rui Wang Jidie blinked her eyes, looking at her with an innocent face.
Eldest Princess Suiyun indeed found this clever and cute little girl quite likable, immediately taking her small hand gently: "Alright. Then stay with me for these few days and visit my mansion as a guest."
Pausing briefly, she then looked at Wang Ningxi to inquire his opinion: "What does Young Master Ningxi think?"
"Following Your Highnessâs command." Wang Ningxi bowed, then sternly instructed Wang Jidie, "Hua Rui, you mustnât act mischievously at the Eldest Princessâs Mansion. Use your leisure time to study; practice with those test papers. Donât fall behind on your studies."
As he spoke, Wang Ningxi handed over a prepared stack of test papers to Wang Jidie, caressing her head and uttering sincerely: "Hua Rui, I know you actually have a high IQ and have been making noticeable progress. Letâs continue to work hard, and not disappoint the Old Ancestorâs expectations of you. Also, your spirit pet Little Green Dragon canât slack off either."
Hot tears instantly welled up in Wang Jidieâs eyes.
Forty-Seventh Uncle, you are truly a worldâs best uncle. No matter the time, youâll dig out a big pile of test papers to encourage my academic progress. I really thank you~
"Your Highness, please also take some time to supervise her studies. This child has been cunning since childhood; a little inattention and sheâll get away with it." Worried that Eldest Princess Suiyun wouldnât grade the papers, Wang Ningxi simply handed her the answer sheet, "Your Highness, everything is entrusted to you; donât let her get hold of the answers."
With that, he solemnly bowed again.
Eldest Princess Suiyunâs beautiful face couldnât help but twitch twice, feeling the pressure mounting: "Uh... Alright, I will assume responsibility."
With that, she quickly took Wang Jidieâs hand and returned to the flying carriage.
It wasnât until the flying carriage soared into the sky, and the Hundred Refinement Hallâs structure became smaller in view, that Eldest Princess Suiyun finally let out a deep breath, sympathetically looking at Wang Jidie: "Little Hua Rui, what sort of life have you lived from childhood until now?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jidie couldnât hold back any longer, turning to throw herself into Eldest Princess Suiyunâs embrace, bursting into tears.
Those cries were truly filled with hundreds of grievances and thousands of sorrows.
"Donât cry, donât cry. Once we return, quickly finish with your test papers, and Suiyun sister will take you to play some fun things." Eldest Princess Suiyun gently comforted.
As for not doing the test papers, that was certainly impossible. After all, she was not this childâs elder and had no right to intervene in her education matters, only to console her as much as possible.
"Wah!"
Wang Jidie cried even harder.
Endless test papers, unspeakable misery. When will this sort of life come to an end~~
Quickly, the flying carriage landed within Eldest Princess Suiyunâs residence in the Immortal City.
This residence served as her retreat in the Immortal City, a mansion she lived in during her early years in the city.
Compared to her Princess Mansion in Suiyun state, although this place is smaller, it remains particularly grand and imposing, fully representing royal decorum.
Entering the mansion, Eldest Princess Suiyun specially arranged a spot in the partition of her study for Wang Jidie to work on her test papers.
No matter how sympathetic she was towards Wang Jidie, she could not condone cheating in this matter, only dispatching maids to meticulously serve her, providing exquisite fruits, snacks, and drinks, and lighting incense that cleared the mind to enhance her efficiency.
Simultaneously, Eldest Princess Suiyun entered war mode.
Staff officers of her mansion were swiftly summoned, led by none other than the pillar of the younger generation of the Wu Family of the Cold Moon â Wu Yinghao.
Wu Yinghao, barely over five hundred years old, had already reached the Divine Power Territory Mid Stage, sporting sword-like eyebrows and clear eyes, standing tall with a military bearing â the epitome of a martial general.
In fact, having spent years by the Eldest Princessâs side, he indeed made numerous achievements on the battlefield abroad. Even among the entire Immortal Dynastyâs Divine Power Territory Void Realm seeds, he was considered one of the outstanding figures.
