To be honest, Xia Guihua was currently in no mood to make friends.
The matter of the marriage alliance with Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan of the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty alone had her frantic and struggling to handle it.
But regardless, Xia Guihua knew one thing.
She could not enter into a marriage alliance with Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan.
It was not just for her own sake.
If she were to do so, the entire Great Xia Sacred Dynasty would become a vassal of the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty.
And then, it would gradually be eroded and annexed.
Although she felt somewhat troubled.
Since Princess Hongxiu had extended an invitation, Xia Guihua still had to go.
Inside a luxurious hall of the Great Xia imperial palace.
Jun Xiaoyao sat there, leisurely sipping tea.
Seeing this, Princess Hongxiu couldn't help but click her tongue in admiration.
Xia Guihua, as the heaven-proud daughter of the Canghua Star Realm and the Crown Princess of the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty, was also its foremost beauty.
The opportunities to see her were absolutely rare.
Not to mention a private meeting like this.
Ordinary people would have to put in quite a bit of effort to leave a good impression on Xia Guihua.
Yet, Jun Xiaoyao remained calm and composed, as if he were seeing just an ordinary person.
Before long.
A gorgeous figure, as if stepping out of a painting, arrived on the scene.
It was none other than Xia Guihua.
"Guihua!"
Princess Hongxiu smiled and stepped forward to welcome her.
Xia Guihua also smiled slightly.
Then, her gaze subconsciously shifted and landed on Jun Xiaoyao.
Her clear, painting-like eyes froze.
For a moment, she was lost in thought, her Soul seemingly held in place.
"Guihua?"
Seeing Xia Guihua suddenly lost in thought, Princess Hongxiu looked puzzled, then followed her gaze to look at Jun Xiaoyao.
A hint of an ambiguous smile immediately appeared on her face.
As expected.
Even Xia Guihua was stunned by the handsomeness of this Young Master Jun?
Princess Hongxiu had had a similar reaction the first time she saw Jun Xiaoyao.
But she was mistaken; Xia Guihua was not just stunned by Jun Xiaoyao's appearance and temperament.
It was because...
The moment Xia Guihua walked in, Jun Xiaoyao also understood in his heart.
He had sensed that familiar Soul aura.
Although Jun Xiaoyao had previously wondered if one of Jiang Shengyi's four Souls might be in the Origin Universe.
After all, as the most unique Universe in the Boundary Sea, perhaps it was also entangled with some kind of predestined Karma.
And now, it was just as he had expected.
The only thing that surprised Jun Xiaoyao was that he had run into her so quickly.
Perhaps this was because Jun Xiaoyao and Jiang Shengyi.
In the dark, already had an unbreakable Destiny that connected them and brought them together.
Before coming to the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty.
Jun Xiaoyao's idea had been to cooperate with Xia Guihua, each getting what they needed for a win-win situation.
But now, sensing that familiar Soul aura from Xia Guihua.
A touch of warmth also appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
Yiyi, Li Xianyao, Xia Guihua.
Three of Jiang Shengyi's four Souls were already known.
Jun Xiaoyao felt that the day he would truly see Jiang Shengyi again was not far off.
In the room, Princess Hongxiu looked at Xia Guihua, then at Jun Xiaoyao.
Was this... love at first sight?
Amidst Princess Hongxiu's playful gaze, Xia Guihua returned to her senses.
"And this Young Master is..."
In the depths of Xia Guihua's eyes, there was a trace of confusion and complexity.
It was an indescribable, special feeling.
However, on the surface, she maintained her composure.
"Guihua, this is the friend I wanted to introduce to you, Young Master Jun Xiaoyao." Princess Hongxiu said with a smile.
"Young Master Jun..."
Xia Guihua murmured to herself.
There was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
And at this moment, beside Jun Xiaoyao.
Ji Mingshuang's gaze also turned toward Xia Guihua.
For some reason, a flash of confusion crossed her eyes.
Because the moment she saw Xia Guihua, she seemed to have a faint sense of familiarity.
But clearly, she had absolutely never met Xia Guihua before.
Ji Mingshuang also did not show any abnormality and kept this matter to herself.
"Lady Xia." Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly and nodded in greeting.
Princess Hongxiu then said.
"Guihua, this Young Master's strength is truly extraordinary. Previously, when we were being hunted by the Blood Clan, it was thanks to his help..."
Princess Hongxiu went on to say a great deal.
"Thank you, Young Master Jun, for saving Hongxiu."
Xia Guihua also smiled slightly, her jade lips parting, revealing teeth like white shells.
"It was a small matter." Jun Xiaoyao said.
"By the way, Guihua, this Young Master might be able to help you solve the problem with Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan." Princess Hongxiu said.
"This..." Xia Guihua's expression froze.
"That's right, let this Young Master pretend to be your Dao Companion, so that Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan will have nothing to say." Princess Hongxiu said.
"Nonsense, Hongxiu, your suggestion is just bringing trouble to others."
Xia Guihua subconsciously shook her head.
The Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty had unparalleled national strength; even looking at the entire Origin Universe, it was definitely a power to be reckoned with.
No one was willing to offend the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty.
If Jun Xiaoyao really helped her, it would be no different than leading him into a pit of fire.
Although Xia Guihua was troubled by this matter.
She would not trouble others.
Beside her, Jun Xiaoyao saw this, his expression calm, while he sighed inwardly.
As expected of one of Jiang Shengyi's four Souls; even her personality was somewhat similar, unwilling to trouble others.
"But..." Princess Hongxiu hesitated.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao spoke up: "I wonder if I could have a private talk with Lady Xia?"
Princess Hongxiu was stunned, then nodded hurriedly, and left with Ji Mingshuang.
"Hongxiu..."
Xia Guihua's expression froze; she had not expected her good friend to "sell" her out so quickly.
Now, a man and a woman were alone in the room.
As the Crown Princess of the Great Xia, Xia Guihua was not inexperienced.
But for some reason, in front of this white-clad Young Master she was meeting for the first time.
She unexpectedly felt a rare sense of unease in her heart.
Perhaps it was because he looked too much like that "person in the painting."
He didn't seem like someone who would appear in reality at all.
"Lady Xia, no need to be nervous. I won't do anything to you." Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile, easing the atmosphere.
A flush of color quietly swept across Xia Guihua's delicate, jade-like face.
Clearly, this was the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty, her home turf.
Why did it feel like Jun Xiaoyao had become the Crown Princess of Great Xia, and she had become the outsider?
"Young Master Jun, I apologize. Hongxiu was thoughtless and has caused you trouble."
Xia Guihua calmed her emotions and said.
"But this is indeed a significant problem for the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty and for you, Lady Xia, isn't it?" Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Indeed." Xia Guihua admitted.
"What about that Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan..." Jun Xiaoyao began.
"We have no relationship." Xia Guihua said directly.
"Alright, I can help you with this favor." Jun Xiaoyao said.
"What?"
Xia Guihua was slightly stunned.
"Young Master Jun, do you know the consequences of helping me?"
"I know. It's nothing more than offending the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty. What does that count for?"
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze carried a nonchalant disdain.
Xia Guihua was truly stunned.
Who exactly was this Young Master, to not even hold the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty in his eyes?
