Could it be that he wants to take refuge with me?

"Is the Third Princess seeing off guests?" Li Xun said with a smile.

"No," the third princess shook her head and continued, "I'm just thinking about Fellow Daoist Li. If you stay here too long, I'm afraid my royal brother will misunderstand you."

"And you should understand..."

"If my imperial brother misunderstands me, it will be of no benefit to you."

"Thank you, Third Princess, for thinking about Li." Li Xun cupped his hands, ostensibly to say thank you, but in fact, he did not get up, as if he planned to stay here until the end of the world.

This kind of demeanor caught the attention of the third princess, and she was a little puzzled.

Could it be that he wants to take refuge in me?

The third princess couldn't help but entertain this idea.

To be honest,

Over the years, she had been scheming with her elder brother for decades, and every time she was suppressed by him, she felt a little frustrated.

But it was impossible.

No matter how frustrated she felt, there was nothing she could do against the Great Emperor, because her trump card was a demonic sect.

Before she could take control of Dazhou, she must not be exposed.

Once exposed, her father might not tolerate her at all.

But just when no one had much hope for her, Li Xun from the Xuanyang Sect showed a hint of submission, which warmed her heart.

No matter what, there are still a few people in this world who can see her potential to become the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future.

"Fellow Daoist Li, there are only you and me here. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."

The third princess was incredibly beautiful, and her gaze remained fixed on Li Xun, trying to extract the information she desired from him.

Everything up to this point had been her speculation, but whether it was true or not depended on Li Xun's words.

"Since the third princess said so, then Li won't hold back."

Li Xun took a sip of the spirit wine in his hand. After placing the wine cup down, he turned his palm and a crystal-clear jade bottle appeared in his hand.

"Um?"

Seeing the jade bottle, the third princess furrowed her brows, casting a peculiar glance at Li Xun. She inquired, "Fellow Daoist Li, are you...?"

"Enlightenment Pill," Li Xun replied succinctly, uttering three words. "Enlightenment Pill?"

The third princess's heart raced, and deep waves surged within her. Her alabaster fingers gripped the armrests on either side, and even her delicate posture straightened slightly.

But on the surface, she remained composed.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you showing the financial prowess of the Xuanyang Sect by presenting the Enlightenment Pill now?" The third princess calmly inquired, casting her gaze at the Enlightenment Pill.

"The value of the Enlightenment Pill is too precious.

Firstly, the materials are difficult to find, and secondly, it is extremely difficult to refine. Even a master-level alchemist has a 90% chance of failure.

Among the entire Zhou royal family, there are not many Enlightenment Pills either. Even if she was the princess of Wednesday, it would be difficult for her to get an Enlightenment Pill from her father.

Now, Li Xun suddenly took out one.

The third princess couldn't help but start to think more. She was in urgent need of an Enlightenment Pill, and Li Xun happened to send one. Could he be expressing his sincerity?

To know, just now, the elder brother paid a jade pendant to recruit him, but Li Xun didn't even take out the Enlightenment Pill.

On the other hand, Li Xun took out an Enlightenment Pill without giving anything. If she said that the other party did not intend to give it to her, she would not believe it.

After all, no one would be stupid enough to take out the Enlightenment Pill in front of the majestic Princess Wednesday just to show off. "Third Princess, you are worrying too much. Li is not that boring."

Li Xun casually threw the jade bottle to the third princess and said: "The third princess happens to be short of an Enlightenment Pill right now, and Li happens to have it, so he will give it to the third princess today."

"Oh?"

The third princess stretched out her palm and caught the Enlightenment Pill steadily. She glanced at it with her consciousness and saw that it was indeed a high-grade Enlightenment Pill. This made her look at Li Xun a little gentler.

No matter who gets an Enlightenment Pill for nothing, I am afraid that he will not be able to have a bad feeling towards the person who gave him the pill.

Putting the Enlightenment Pill aside casually, the third princess said slowly: "How did Fellow Daoist Li know that I need an Enlightenment Pill?"

"Intuition."

Li Xun made an excuse casually.

As for whether the third princess would believe these two words, it has nothing to do with him. Anyway, the reason has been given, what else can he do?

"Fellow Daoist Li's intuition is really sharp."

The third princess smiled lightly, extremely bright and exceptionally beautiful.

She didn't believe a word of Li Xun's explanation, but one thing she was sure of was that Li Xun should be on her side.

Otherwise, how to explain this Enlightenment Pill?

After all, she and Li Xun just met each other.

Even with her status as Princess Wednesday, she didn't think she could ask someone she met for the first time to just take out an Enlightenment Pill and give it to him.

After pondering for a moment, the third princess turned her palm, and a bronze token appeared in her palm, and she threw it directly towards Li Xun.

"Since you gave me an Enlightenment Pill, I am not a stingy person. Previously, my elder brother gave you a jade pendant, which allows you to run rampant in Zhentian City."

"I will give you a token today. Although it cannot be used in Zhentian City, outside Zhentian City, no matter where you are, as long as you activate the token, a strong person will appear to help you."

"Um?"

Li Xun's eyes lit up.

He reached out and took the token and looked at it carefully.

This jade medal is bronze in color, made of unknown materials, and its touch is extremely cold. It has a moon and several stars engraved on it, and it looks extremely mysterious.

"Sure enough, people with relatively high investment status will usually have unexpected surprises."

Li Xun accepted the token, raised his hand to the third princess and said, "Then Li will thank the third princess."

After thanking her, he said again: "It's getting late now, so Li will leave first."

"Fellow Daoist Li, walk slowly."

The third princess stood up and spoke.

This attitude was considered very polite to Li Xun. The grand princess sent him off on Wednesday, but ordinary geniuses did not receive this treatment.

But now, in the eyes of the third princess, Li Xun deserves this treatment!

Because Li Xun was the first person to join her without being recruited by her. Moreover, Li Xun was very talented, and his future achievements should not be underestimated.

"Have I been lucky these past few days? First, a mysterious man came to my door with the Pill of Life and Death, and then Li Xun, the genius of the Xuanyang Sect, took the initiative to give me an Enlightenment Pill."

The third princess turned around and glanced at the bottle containing the Enlightenment Pill next to her, with a hint of excitement in her eyes. "With this kind of luck, how can your elder brother be my opponent?"

"Speaking of which, that mysterious man came to my door with the Life and Death Pill and wanted to exchange a qualification for Yuanhuang Secret Realm with me. I should give him an answer today."
