Chapter 48 Sixth Princess: I’ve been waiting for you year after year

After two days of sightseeing in the Royal Capital, Su Xinyan still decided to meet the Sixth Princess.

Back then, the two of them met in a ruin, teamed up to save themselves, and subsequently went through numerous difficulties and dangers together, finally escaping with their lives.

Because of this, they also formed a deep friendship.

Her status and position in the army prevented the Sixth Princess from running around everywhere, so when she missed Su Xinyan, she often wrote letters, wanting her to come visit.

However, the socially anxious homebody Su Xinyan didn't want to go out, and kept delaying, so their last meeting was seven years ago.

This time, Su Xinyan came to the Royal Capital with Xu Qingzhou, and the Sixth Princess was also there, so it was indeed a good opportunity to meet.

Su Xinyan had been hesitant for the past two days precisely because she was afraid that if the Sixth Princess knew she was there, she would keep seeking her out.

She didn't want to go to some messy places to meet some inexplicable people; she just wanted to find a deserted place to stay with Xu Qingzhou.

It was a suggestion from Xu Qingzhou that made her stop hesitating.

"You can meet her tonight and say you're leaving tomorrow, that way there won't be so many troublesome matters."

After hearing Xu Qingzhou's words, Su Xinyan's beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded.

"Okay!"

Su Xinyan took out a special voice transmission Jade Slip; this type of specialized voice transmission Jade Slip is usually one-on-one and can transmit voices within a certain distance.

This kind of Jade Slip is difficult to make and extremely rare; the Sixth Princess gave it to her back then.

Soon, Su Xinyan contacted the Sixth Princess.

"Let's go, we've already agreed on a place."

Xu Qingzhou asked in surprise, "Am I going too?"

She felt that close friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time should have a good chat and catch up, wondering why she was being brought along.

Su Xinyan looked as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

"Of course, you'll have to meet her sooner or later anyway, and I've already told her I'm bringing you."

Xu Qingzhou could only follow along.

The Sixth Princess's name was Song Yushu. She also knew Su Xinyan's habits and arranged the meeting place in a quiet tea house with few people coming and going.

After entering the private room, Su Xinyan and Song Yushu, these two old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time, were overjoyed and held hands.

"You said you'd come find me, and I waited year after year. If I weren't unable to leave, I'd really want to rush to Lingyue Sect and ask you when you were finally planning to come see me."

There was a hint of resentment in Song Yushu's tone.

Meeting a friend, she didn't wear a full set of black armor like before.

Instead, she changed into a set of cyan fitted clothes, and with her willow-leaf eyebrows, melon-seed face, and long hair tied back, she looked like a chivalrous heroine at first glance.

Hearing her say this, Su Xinyan also felt a little embarrassed.

"I…"

Seeing her stammering, Song Yushu teased, "Alright, alright, I understand you. I'm already very happy that you could come see me this time. How about you introduce me to your brother-in-law?"

Before coming, Su Xinyan only said she was bringing a friend. Song Yushu asked if it was a male or female, and she said it was a male.

Song Yushu instantly understood it must be her Dao Companion.

Because with her personality, she wouldn't easily travel with others, much less bring someone else to meet her.

Before the two arrived, Song Yushu had been curious about what kind of ideal husband a Heavenly Prodigy like Su Xinyan would find.

When she saw Xu Qingzhou, there was a bit of disappointment and surprise deep down.

She felt that Su Xinyan was too outstanding, and her other half shouldn't be bad either.

But this person, aside from meeting the standards in appearance and temperament, was quite ordinary in other aspects.

His strength was only at the late Xuandan realm, and his identity and status were unknown.

But among the Great Qi Dynasty, she basically knew all the young people of noble status. She had never seen this person before, which meant he wasn't someone with high status and power.

Song Yushu couldn't help but form a bold conjecture in her mind.

"What exactly did Xin Yan see in him? Could it be that she's inexperienced and was deceived by this person's sweet talk?"

Song Yushu's gaze was sharp, carrying a unique military authority.

Xu Qingzhou naturally didn't know her inner thoughts. Meeting her gaze, he said calmly.

"Hello, my name is Xu Qingzhou."

Song Yushu was slightly startled, feeling as though she had heard this name somewhere before. She thought carefully.

"Are you the Xu Family Clan Leader of Yuhe City?"

Xu Qingzhou subconsciously frowned.

Song Yushu explained, "Don't misunderstand, I noticed Xu Luo from your Xu Family during the selection competition and wanted to recruit him, so I did a simple investigation, which is why I remember your name."

Xu Qingzhou nodded as if enlightened.

Song Yushu's expression was strange.

Only when investigating Xu Luo did she learn that Xu Muge, the monstrously talented person from Lingyue Sect, and Xu Luo were actually from the same Family.

And this Xu Family, which simultaneously produced two Heavenly Prodigies, was just a Family from Yuhe City, a fourth-rate force.

In fact, even a year ago, the Xu Family couldn't even be considered fourth-rate; it was unranked.

Logically speaking, for a Family to undergo such a massive change within a year, the Clan Leader should be very formidable.

However, according to the information she investigated, the Xu Family's significant changes were mainly due to Xu Muge.

Therefore, even though she knew Xu Qingzhou was the Xu Family Clan Leader, she still couldn't see anything special about Xu Qingzhou.

"Perhaps he has some unseen merits."

Song Yushu turned her head and continued to reminisce with Su Xinyan, chatting about their experiences and some interesting anecdotes over the years.

Meanwhile, Xu Qingzhou sat to the side, quietly drinking tea and eating pastries.

Song Yushu suddenly asked, "When are you planning to leave? I still have a few more days in the Royal Capital. If you're not in a hurry to go, we can properly catch up."

"I'm returning to Lingyue Sect tomorrow," Su Xinyan said softly.

Actually, she was returning to the Xu Family with Xu Qingzhou, but she was afraid of being teased by Song Yushu if she said that.

Song Yushu was not a hesitant person; whether it was herself or others, once a decision was made, it shouldn't be changed. Therefore, she didn't try to persuade Su Xinyan, only feeling a bit regretful.

"After this parting, I don't know when we'll be able to meet again next time."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little melancholic.

Xu Qingzhou casually said, "No matter, fate brings people together even across a thousand miles. I believe this time you won't have to wait another seven years."

His words immediately made the two of them burst into radiant laughter. The two beauties, different in temperament but equally picturesque, left Xu Qingzhou momentarily stunned.

Song Yushu thought to herself.

"This person is quite humorous. Perhaps it's precisely someone like him who can attract Xin Yan, this reserved person."

They chatted for an afternoon, had dinner together, and only reluctantly parted late at night.

After Song Yushu returned, a document about Xu Qingzhou of the Xu Family was delivered to her.

She wanted to know what was special about Xu Qingzhou and how the Xu Family managed to produce two Heavenly Prodigies in a short period.

However, nothing could be discerned from this document alone.

Ultimately, she chose to give up and cast the document aside.

Although she really wanted to recruit Xu Luo and the Xu Family, and it would be easier with her connection to Su Xinyan, she didn't mention this matter at all today.

Born into a ruthless imperial Family, she didn't want her hard-won friendship to be mixed with other things.
