Cang Yue's room

The Blue Wind Imperial Palace was quite beautiful in its own regard. Yang Tian was walking together with Cang Yue, so he was attracting a lot of attention. Whether it was guards, servants, or maids… All of their eyes were at Yang Tian.

They naturally hadn't seen him before. They were curious about his identity since Princess Cang Yue was rarely accompanied by a youth of nearly her own age. Moreover, this youth was a male…

It naturally created an uproar and rumours spread within the Blue Wind Imperial Palace.

Meanwhile, as they were walking, Yang Tian and Cang Yue were having a conversation.

"The Imperial Palace is much better than my expectations. Looks like you live a good life…" He gave a casual comment with a small smile on his face.

For a few moments, Cang Yue was lost while staring at his face. It took her a few seconds to realise that she was staring at Yang Tian and immediately snapped back to reality.

"Hehe… It's nice to know that you like it. Would you like to live here? I can request my father to make an exception for you." She spoke with a wide grin on her face.

Yang Tian immediately shook his head after hearing those words, "The Imperial Palace is for those with the Imperial Bloodline or their retainers. I am neither of them so it would be inappropriate for me to stay here."

Cang Yue gave an adorable pout as she heard his reason and said with a hmph, "You can always say that you are my retainer. I did bring you from the New Moon Profound Palace to the Blue Wind Profound Palace."

Yang Tian seemed to have had enough of this topic and spoke, "Why did you leave the Imperial Palace and went towards a city like the New Moon City? Was that merely for recruiting talents?"

"T-That?" Cang Yue was a bit startled when she heard this question from Yang Tian. She didn't know how she should answer this question. Should she speak the truth? Or hide it from him?

Lying to him just didn't feel alright with her. She took a deep breath and started speaking, "Recruiting talents for the Blue Wind Profound Palace was one reason. The other reason was that I wanted to escape the Imperial Palace for some time…"

"I see… And what would that reason be?" Yang Tian made an incredibly curious look as he asked Cang Yue.

"Let's get to my room first, I will explain to you there. We can't talk openly here…" They were still in the hallways after all. It would be somewhat stupid for them to start talking about it here.

Yang Tian was naturally aware of this. But he didn't speak anything… It was because he wanted to give the illusion that he didn't know anything.

Soon enough, they did reach Cang Yue's room. It was an incredibly large room which gave off an imperial aura…

Cang Yue immediately walked towards her bed and placed her large ass on it. Meanwhile, Yang Tian grabbed a chair and sat on it.

"Alright… How about I get the explanation now?" Yang Tian sounded curious while looking over at Cang Yue's face.

"Hmph… That's the first thing you ask even though you have entered my room. Since the time I turned 13, not even my brothers have entered my room. Let alone another boy…" She said with a blush on her face. Her words seemed to state the importance of this matter.

"So…? What was the other reason?" Yang Tian ignored her words entirely and focused on the matter.

Cang Yue clicked her tongue in annoyance, but regardless of her mood, she started her explanation, "My father's condition is very dire right now. He has caught a strange illness and because of that… my brothers have started a war of succession among themselves."

"My eldest brother, Crown Prince Cang Lin, has even brought the support of the Xiao Sect and wants their help in getting the throne of the Blue Wind Empire. To counter this, my third brother Cang Shuo has taken the support of the Burning Heaven Clan…"

"I am not interested in the throne of the Blue Wind Empire, so I never bothered to take any sides. However, my third brother came to me along with Fen Juecheng. The reason my third brother could have the support of the Burning Heaven Clan was partly since he wants to marry me." She raised her head to look at Yang Tian's face but found not a trace of jealousy.

Just a thoughtful look on his face…

"What has the Emperor said over the matter of Fen Juecheng wanting to marry you?" Yang Tian asked her a little seriously.

Cang Yue said with a low voice, "My father hasn't given his consent, but he hasn't refused it. After all, Fen Juecheng is the future clan master of the Burning Heaven Clan. Having bad relations with him wouldn't be good…"

"Since I couldn't reject his invitations every time he appeared in the Imperial Palace with my Third Brother, I decided to escape from the Imperial Palace and search for talents." Cang Yue looked at Yang Tian as she finished her explanation.

She heard his next question, spoke with a calm voice, "Why have the Xiao Sect or the Burning Heaven Clan not made a move against the Blue Wind Empire? With the Emperor in such a state, this should be an excellent time to make their move and kill the Emperor. Why haven't they done so?"

Cang Yue found this question a little easier to answer, "… It's because of the fact that behind the Blue Wind Imperial Family stands the existence of the Heavenly Sword Villa! The Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Clan wouldn't dare to make their move against the Blue Wind Imperial Family as long as the Heavenly Sword Villa stands erect and continues to support the Blue Wind Imperial Family."

"I see…"

"Yes, that is why they will have to make sure to hide any evidence which points to them." Cang Yue finished speaking.
