An Apology Letter in the Name of the Princess

Chapter 652 An Apology Letter in the Name of the Princess

Recalling some of the ingenious aspects of this true qi circulation route diagram, Yun Youyou secretly compared it with her actual cultivation process and found herself to have a sudden enlightenment.

She was delighted and paced back and forth in the room, holding the parchment in her hand.

Yun Youyou spent a long time looking around in the library, while Qin Zhenkui had already left.

At this moment, Qin Zhenkui entered the library again.

"Sister Yun, have you finished looking at these diagrams of the true energy circulation routes?"

Upon seeing Qin Zhenkui, Yun Youyou immediately stepped forward: "Zhenkui, I was just looking for you!"

"What happened?"

"I just saw an amazing diagram of the true qi circulation route, and the annotations and insights in it are simply exquisite!"

It overturned my preconceived notions and was like a complete complement to my cultivation method!

"Oh, is it really that amazing?"

Qin Zhenkui glanced at it sideways, but since she had never practiced this technique, she naturally couldn't see its mystery.

"It is indeed amazing, but it is only half, probably because there was not enough time."

"Zhenkui, please help me find this person. I want to consult him personally!" Yun Youyou said.

Qin Zhenkui smiled and said, "I didn't expect that our Beimang Star could have someone that Sister Yun praised so highly. Okay, let me ask Niu Niu!"

Qin Zhenkui found the girl in the black dress named Wuxin.

"Sister Wuxin, come and take a look at this parchment diagram of the flow of internal energy. Whose is it?"

The girl in the black dress looked down and replied, "I remember this diagram of the true energy circulation route. According to the records on the star-shaped leaf, it was drawn by a man named Chen Lie. He claims to be the top freshman at Starry Sky University. He was not invited and came on his own."

"Chen Lie?"

Qin Zhenkui narrowed her eyes. It was actually that bastard?

Yun Youyou was also taken aback. Was it that person?

No wonder he was so confident when he asked Qin Zhenkui for help; it turns out he really is capable.

However, Yun Youyou also knew that Qin Zhenkui and Chen Lie had a grudge against each other. Geniuses are all arrogant. If Qin Zhenkui made things difficult for him, it would be difficult to ask him for a favor again.

As expected, the top freshman at Starry Sky University was no ordinary person.

Qin Zhenkui changed the subject, saying, "Sister Yun, you haven't finished looking at these parchments yet, have you? Why don't you take another look? What if there are better ones?"

"Oh well!"

Yun Youyou nodded. Seeing this amazing diagram of the true energy circulation route, she suddenly had some expectations for the remaining parchment.

Yun Youyou sat down next to the desk and began to look at the remaining parchment.

After seeing Chen Lie's diagram of true qi circulation, Yun Youyou immediately felt bored with these mediocre ones.

After barely managing to look through all the parchments, Yun Youyou's eyes lit up again when she saw the last one.

This diagram of the true qi circulation route is almost identical to the one from before, except that the annotations and insights seem somewhat crude, probably because of time constraints and the lack of time to draw it.

"The Azure Sky Starfield is indeed teeming with talent!"

Yun Youyou sighed. For the cultivation method of this Heavenly Demon Divine Embryo, she had searched for geniuses from almost all the four major sects of Chongxing, including Tianhuang Star and Tianyi Star in the Moyun Star Region, but no one had deduced such an amazing route for the circulation of true qi for her.

"Zhenkui, take a look at the contents of this parchment. Who drew it?"

Qin Zhenkui looked at the girl in the black dress next to her again. The girl in the black dress said calmly, "It was done by a martial arts student named Dong Changnan from the Holy Martial Arts Academy."

"That's easy. I'll have someone bring this person over right away. Sister Yun, please wait a moment," Qin Zhenkui said.

Yun Youyou couldn't help but say, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Shouldn't we pay them a visit in person?"

"Don't worry, it's alright, we'll just wait here!"

Qin Zhenkui smiled and then ordered someone to summon the martial arts actor named Dong Changnan.

Not long after, Dong Changnan arrived at the Crown Prince's residence.

Upon seeing Qin Zhenkui, he immediately bowed deeply: "My name is Dong Changnan, greetings to Your Highness!"

"Dong Changnan?"

Qin Zhenkui picked up the diagram of the true qi circulation route and said calmly, "This true qi circulation route deduced on this parchment, was it drawn by you?"

"No, Your Highness!"

"Uh-huh?"

Qin Zhenkui's expression changed, and she said, "What did you say? This wasn't drawn by you?"

"Yes!" Dong Changnan replied, "At the time, I wanted to observe Her Highness the Princess's banquet, but time was tight, so a friend drew the illustrations for me!"

"Who is it?"

"He is from Blue Star, named Chen Lie, and is the first freshman of this year's Starry Sky University," Dong Changnan replied.

"What? It's him again?"

Qin Zhenkui immediately gritted her teeth.

Yun Youyou was also incredulous. How could one person be able to deduce and draw two such exquisite routes of true qi circulation? Chen Lie's talent was too astonishing!

"Alright, you can go now!"

Qin Zhenkui impatiently shook her hand.

Dong Changnan found it strange. Why did they rush him over, ask him a couple of questions, and then immediately send him away? What was going on?

However, since the princess had spoken, he had no choice but to obediently take his leave.

"Sister Yun, don't worry, the seal of the Holy Envoy Hall is still in my hands. This boy named Chen Lie will definitely come to retrieve the seal. I will have a way to make him fill in the true qi circulation route map then," Qin Zhenkui said.

Yun Youyou just shook her head. How could you force someone to do something like this?

What if they don't put in the effort, or even plant a trap for you during the simulation?

"Never mind, Zhenkui, I'll talk to him myself."

"Don't worry, Sister Yun, I will definitely take care of this matter for you, so please don't worry about it," Qin Zhenkui said.

Yun sighed softly. Of course, she couldn't let Qin Zhenkui act recklessly, but she still had to see Chen Lie first.

"At this time, Chen Lie should have been waiting at the Imperial Academy for a long time, right?"

Let's go there now!

Upon hearing this, Yun Youyou thought, "This won't do. We already need to ask for a favor, and making others wait for so long will only make the grudges even greater."

Urged on by Yun Youyou, Qin Zhenkui quickly led Yun Youyou out of the library.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Household Department, Qin Zhenkui asked the officials there, "Has anyone from the Eastern Star Region come to collect their official seal today?"

"No, Your Highness!" replied the official from the Crown Prince's Palace.

"What? No?"

Qin Zhenkui was taken aback: "Does the Eastern Star Region no longer need official seals?"

Without the seal of the Holy Envoy Temple, how could the Interstellar Alliance be formed? Logically speaking, that kid Chen Lie should have been waiting here early this morning.

Qin Zhenkui had planned to leave him hanging for a few days to punish his arrogance and rudeness, but she didn't expect him to not come.

"Your Highness, the seal of the Eastern Star Region is no longer here!"

I just got it back from the Four Star Pavilion yesterday, and Princess Shaokang took it away.

"Bailing? Why is she holding the seal?" Qin Zhenkui asked.

"We don't know either. Princess Shaokang said that you asked her to send the seal to the Eastern Star Region."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenkui couldn't help but say, "What is Qin Bailing up to? When did I ever ask her to retrieve the seal and hand it over to the Eastern Star Region?"

She immediately ordered her maidservant to send a spirit pigeon to inquire.

A reply arrived shortly afterward.

"Your Highness, Princess Shaokang said that she owed a favor to a friend in the Eastern Star Region, so she took it upon herself to return the seal to the Eastern Star Region."

I also apologize to you and hope you can forgive me.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenkui was immediately enraged: "Outrageous! How dare she act on her own without my permission?"

Qin Zhenkui was annoyed, but then she thought that Qin Zhenling was no longer the same as before. She was no longer a marginal figure in the royal family, but a powerful princess who held a force of 2000 imperial guards. Compared with her, she was only lacking a fiefdom, and she did have the right to challenge her.

"Where are the people from the Eastern Star Region? Has the seal been handed over to them?" After calming down, Qin Zhenkui asked again.

"Your Highness, the seal has indeed been handed over to the Eastern Star Region, but the people from the Eastern Star Region have now left the Northern Star."

"What?"

Qin Zhenkui looked at Yun Youyou somewhat awkwardly: "Sister Yun, this—"

Yun Youyou was silent for a while, then said calmly, "Then I'll go to Canglong Starry Sky University."

It's better not to let Qin Zhenkui get involved in this kind of thing. Geniuses are all arrogant, and with such a sharp conflict between Qin Zhenkui and Chen Lie, letting her handle this kind of matter might actually do more harm than good.

"I also know many friends on Canglong Star, Sister Yun, shall I introduce them to you?" Qin Zhenkui said.

"Need not!"

Yun Youyou shook her head, then said, "If you sincerely want to help me, write an apology letter immediately, in your name as Princess Chengning, and have the Ministry of Rites of the Holy Martial Dynasty send an envoy to Blue Star to express your apology."

"Okay then!"

Qin Zhenkui knew what Yun Youyou was thinking.

This Chen Lie was so arrogant in Beimangxing, offending me again and again. He must be an extremely proud person.

While he was still within the territory of Beimangxing, Qin Zhenkui could still manage to control him, but now that he had left Beimangxing, she was even less able to do anything about him.

He must have a very bad impression of him, and even Yun Youyou, who was with him, probably left a bad impression on him as well.

In this situation, it would be extremely difficult to ask Chen Lie for a favor.

Yun Youyou probably asked her to write an apology letter because of this.

Meanwhile, Chen Lie returned to Blue Star aboard a starship.

After a three-day journey on the starship, the group finally returned to Earth.

It was midnight when we arrived on Earth.

After the starship landed in the plaza of the Blue Star Martial Arts Association, Chen Lie and the others disembarked one by one.

"Dear students, you've all worked hard this time. Since returning from Starry Sky University, you've been practicing combined martial arts techniques, which has taken up more than half a month of your time."

The staff has arranged rooms for you. Please rest well today. After you've rested, we will throw you a celebration banquet!

After disembarking from the starship, Wang Shou addressed the group.

After speaking, Wang Shou arranged for staff to lead the ten participants to a special room to rest.

The battle for the four star regions secured Blue Star's control over an interstellar coalition, a feat comparable to winning a permanent seat on the Council of Nations—a historical achievement.

As a major contributor to this competition, Chen Lie deserves the greatest honor.

But Chen Lie already has no shortage of these honors. His previous position as a standing council member, his recent first place among freshmen at Starry Sky University, and now the Four Star Regions Battle—he has been showered with honors so many times that he has become numb to them.

Moreover, Chen Lie didn't seem to like the reporters' interviews, which is why he didn't arrange for anyone to greet him, but a celebration banquet was absolutely necessary.

On the other side, Chen Lie followed the staff back to the rest room, but instead of resting in the room, he found a training room nearby.

After entering the cultivation room, Chen Lie closed the door and went to the cultivation platform in the middle.

He has just broken through to the "Five Qi Gathering at the Origin" realm, but the breakthrough is not yet complete.

The so-called Five Elements Gathering at the Origin is the gathering of the true qi of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) in the mind to form a subtle cycle. Only in this way can one truly enter the Five Elements Gathering at the Origin. However, Chen Lie merely gathered the true qi of the five elements in his mind.

He calmed his mind, used his divine sense to introspect, and began to circulate the "Primordial Chaos Qi Gong," fusing the true qi of the five spirits one by one.

"Fortunately, the 'Hun Yuan Wu Ji Qi Gong' is profound, allowing me to break through to the extreme realm without having to comprehend the true meaning of the Five Elements Martial Arts like ordinary people. Otherwise, I would not have won this battle."

Chen Lie skipped the stage of comprehending the true meaning of martial arts, because due to his limited aptitude, comprehending the true meaning of martial arts would have required a great deal of effort from him.

"However, although I do not need to comprehend the true meaning of the Five Elements Martial Dao to break through to the Five Qi Gathering Realm, the ultimate realm requires cultivating the Five Divine Treasures. To open the Five Divine Treasures, I must use the true meaning of the Martial Dao as a key."

Relying on the profound mysteries of the "Primordial Chaos Qigong," Chen Lie fused the five divine energies one by one, achieving a subtle cycle of mutual generation among the five elements.

Under the introspection of his divine sense, Chen Lie discovered that the Five Elements Gods located in his five internal organs had solidified by three-tenths, which indicated that Chen Lie had completely stabilized in the Five Elements Convergence Realm.

After finishing his cultivation, Chen Lie walked out of the cultivation room and saw that the sky was already slightly bright. He had arrived on Blue Star at midnight the night before, but he hadn't expected to have been cultivating for half the night.

"Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to be so diligent. You just returned from Beimang Star and came here to practice your skills."

Just then, a clear and melodious sound rang out.

Chen Lie turned his head and saw that it was Zhu Jingxi, the spirit princess of the Crimson Flame Star, walking over.

"Greetings, Your Excellency, candidate for Governor of Earth!"

Approaching Chen Lie, Zhu Jingxi clasped her hands at her sides, slightly bent her slender waist, and performed a dignified curtsy.

"Princess Lingyan, there's no need for such formalities."

Zhu Jingxi simply said, "Propriety must not be disregarded!"

Seeing this, Chen Lie stopped trying to persuade him.

"Brother Chen, have you not eaten yet?"

Chen Lie shook his head: "No!"

"Shall we go together? The food there has been terrible these past few days in Beimangxing, and Brother Chen hasn't had a proper meal in quite some time."

"How about it?" Zhu Jingxi invited.

"Okay, let's go then!"

Chen Lie agreed and went to the Martial Arts Association's restaurant with Zhu Jingxi.

"By the way, I have something I'd like to ask Brother Chen. I apologize if I may be so bold as to ask you something."

"Ask away!"

Zhu Jingxi suddenly stopped: "I heard that Brother Chen already has a lover?"

Chen Lie nodded: "Yes!"

Zhu Jingxi said "Oh" and continued walking forward. After a while, she said, "Some of the laws of Blue Star are actually quite unreasonable."

On our Crimson Flame Star, a hero like Brother Chen, or even a man with only a fraction of his brilliance, could marry multiple women.
