    “Going out to gain experience was indeed the right choice.” Yuan Xia shook her fan, saying with a smile.


    “Yuan’er, you should try to get close to him; he might be a great help to you.” The old woman suggested seriously.


    “The current situation in Xia grows more chaotic. Those vassals are all ambitious, and the princes are all useless and unfit. You are the hope of Xia.” After a pause, the old woman ryed her sentiments through True Qi.


    “Hmm…”


    Yuan Xia nodded, her eyes flickering uncertainly.


    “It’s a pity that the Sword Spirit Sect has always remained neutral for thousands of years. If they could support you, you’d be able to suppress everything.” The old woman spoke again, full of regret.


    “It’s normal that we can’t win over the Sword Spirit Sect. If they were so easily swayed, our Xia might not havested for 500 years.” Yuan Xia said carelessly.


    “I think it’s a blessing that the Sword Spirit Sect can remain neutral.”


    “You’re right.” The old woman nodded in agreement.


    The Sword Spirit Sect is an ancient sect with a profound foundation. If it hadn’t maintained its neutrality, we might not have seeded in the dynastic change 500 years ago.


    It must be said that this young girl truly sees through the situation.


    Her presence is thest hope for Xia, perhaps allowing Xia’s national fortune to revive and continue for another 300 years.


    The only thing to regret is that her time is too short, as it seems she will pass away soon.


    Thinking of this, the old woman felt somewhat worried.


    Inside the inn’s room, Wang Ping opened the interface of the Life Simtor.


    Although he no longer had enough Spiritual Stones for paid simtions, he still had one free simtion chance left.


    He needed to use this free simtion to learn about some things.


    For example, whether Yuan Xia and the others posed a threat to him.


    Or if he would encounter any danger on his journey ahead.


    “System, initiate the life simtion.”


    Wang Ping said in his heart.


    As Wang Ping spoke, the luminescent screen of the Life Simtor appeared before his eyes.


    “Life simtion begins. Host remaining free simtion times: o.”


    The system’s voice rang out.


    Then, text began to appear on the luminescent screen.


    [Daya calendar 480, March 14th: Nothing happened.]


    [Daya calendar 480, March 15th: Yuan Xia enthusiastically invites you to stroll ck Wind Town together. Despite repeatedly refusing, you eventually agree as she remains persistent.]


    [You and Yuan Xia stroll around ck Wind Town and eat many snacks.]


    [At dusk, Yuan Xia opens a private room in the best restaurant in ck Wind Town and asks you questions about Xia. You calmly answer, leaving Yuan Xia very surprised, feeling that your words make sense. In the meantime, you have a rough idea about Yuan Xia’s identity.]


    [Without any idents, Yuan Xia should be the Xia 9th Princess Xia Yuan. Her current name is simply her name spelled backward. You also associate this with the future of Xia 9th Princess Xia Yuan.]


    [The Xia 9th Princess Xia Yuan, talented and gifted, is said to have a cultivation aptitude not inferior to Bai Tianhong. She is highly valued by the Xia Emperor. Unfortunately, the struggle for power in the royal family is often cruel, and all the princes of Xia want to be the new emperor. Among them, the ascendant Third Crown Prince Xia Feng sees the Ninth Princess as a great threat and secretly colludes with the vassals to send a Spiritual Realm Expert to assassinate Xia Yuan during her training, ultimately killing her.]


    [The assassination of the Ninth Princess shakes the world, and the Xia Royal Family is infuriated. The strongest ancient creature personally takes action to kill the Spiritual Realm Expert. However, no matter what, the Ninth Princess is dead, and thest hope of Xia is lost.]


    “So it’s her.”


    Wang Ping looked at the content emerging on the simtor, lost in thought.


    Before, when he had talked with Yuan Xia, he had associated it with the Xia Ninth Princess, but the information was too limited to be certain.


    However, in the Life Simtor, the two had deeper conversations, allowing him to confirm her identity.


    “I’ve gotten myself involved with a troublesome person.” Wang Pingmented inwardly.


    He remembered that Ninth Princess Xia Yuan’s death would ur in ten days.


    And now that he had talked with Xia Yuan, it was hard to ensure that he wouldn’t be implicated.


    In fact, when he first experienced life, he heard about the assassination of the Ninth Princess, but at that time, he was just a small individual focused on martial training and didn’t pay much attention to it.


    After all, by the time he arrived at ck Wind Town, the incident was several months old, and the turmoil had long since subsided, deeming it outdated news.


    “I hope it won’t affect me from now on.”


    Wang Ping could only think this as he continued to gaze at the luminescent screen.


    If he was implicated, he would head straight to the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Only a transcendent sect like the Sword Spirit Sect could guarantee his safety.


    Otherwise, even if he was in the Spiritual Realm, he wouldn’t be secure against a behemoth like the Xia Royal Family.


    As Wang Ping gazed at the luminescent screen again, the text on the screen continued to emerge.


    [After guessing Yuan Xia’s identity, you did not expose her, and nned to leave after the meal. However, due to your enjoyable conversation, Yuan Xia voluntarily reveals her identity and invites you to be her right-hand man.]


    [You refuse, stating you just want a peaceful life.]


    [To prevent being implicated, you tactfully remind Yuan Xia it is safer to return to the pce. Yuan Xia is surprised but does not take it seriously. You say nothing more.]


    [The next day, you head straight for the Sword Spirit Sect without stopping. However, Yuan Xia seems to have taken a liking to you and insists on apanying you, iming you are on the same path. You are speechless and can only ignore her.]


    [In the end, you arrive at the Sword Spirit Sect. Yuan Xia and the others are astonished and have no idea why you havee to the Sword Spirit Sect. You exin your identity and purpose, and the Sword Spirit Sect’s Mountain Guard is shocked, quickly contacting the Sect Master.]


    [Meanwhile, Yuan Xia and the others are also extremely shocked. They never imagined you not only know alchemy but are also a 4th Tier alchemist. Yuan Xia, unable to contain her excitement, once again invites you to be her right-hand man, making astonishing promises.]


    [You still decline, saying you don’t want to get involved in the struggle of the royal family. The old woman bes anxious, mentioning Yuan Xia’s high status as the designated future Empress, in an attempt to sway you.]


    [However, you remain unmoved, leaving Yuan Xia and the old woman frustrated.]


    [Soon, the Sword Spirit Sect Master arrives, and is surprised to see Yuan Xia and the others. He hurriedly invites you all to enter the sect.]


    [Seeing the Sect Master, you feel a murderous intent but do not show it, instead choosing to follow him into the sect..]
