84: The battle between the Giant Spirit Palace and the Moonlight Palace! Aunt Shen was interrupted and the hero saved the beauty!
The thought of using the Truth-telling Pearl to ask Li Shengyuan some little secrets made Shen Xinrong's heart flutter.
Following Princess Pingyang, she walked over.
The two women were already naturally stunning beauties, and after changing out of their official uniforms into long dresses, they were even more captivating and eye-catching. Seeing them walk towards the Yuehua Palace fairy, they immediately drew everyone's attention.
Moon Clearsnow and Yue Qingmeng, who had just sat down, were sisters and immediately noticed them.
Yue Qingmeng tugged at her senior sister's sleeve and whispered, "Senior sister, are they coming to find us?"
Moon Clearsnow glanced indifferently at Shen Xinrong and the other woman, and upon sensing their cultivation levels, her brows furrowed slightly.
The younger one was actually at the same realm as herself, the sixth-grade Purple Mansion Realm.
The older one, with her enchanting and voluptuous figure, she couldn't see through. Her cultivation was restrained, and if she hadn't possessed a treasure, she would have thought she was just an ordinary person!
Yuehua Palace also had enemies, but she didn't detect any malice from Shen Xinrong and the other woman, so she wasn't flustered.
Soon, Princess Pingyang arrived beside the two, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she said,
"Two fairies, I am Mu Shiling, and this is my elder sister Shen Xinrong. May we share a table with you two?"
Princess Pingyang was her title; her true name was Mu Shiling. Aside from a few close individuals, no one knew her real name; outsiders only knew her as Princess Pingyang.
Yue Qingmeng blinked her large eyes, looking at her senior sister. She wouldn't dare to make a decision on such a matter.
Moon Clearsnow took a small sip from the teacup in her hand, then nodded slightly, "Please, make yourselves at home."
The cultivation of these two was not low, and their identities should also be extraordinary, but there was no malice on them. It wouldn't hurt to have a conversation.
Upon receiving permission, Princess Pingyang immediately beamed with joy and pulled Shen Xinrong to sit down.
Then she began to strike up a conversation, "Both of you sisters are from Yuehua Palace, which is a major sect in our Northern Border Three Prefectures. Shiling truly envies you!"
Yue Qingmeng, hearing Princess Pingyang's praise, also showed a faint, proud smile.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Princess Pingyang immediately followed up to build rapport, smiling at the cute girl as she said,
"Sister, you must be Fairy Yue Qingmeng, right?"
The cute girl paused slightly, asking curiously, "You know me?"
"Sister, your reputation is quite big now. Everyone says that the two fairies of Yuehua Palace are very extraordinary and helped Lord Li solve the case."
"Thank you, but all the credit goes to senior sister."
Yue Qingmeng showed a shy smile. Her face wasn't as red when chatting with girls; it was pink and tender.
Moon Clearsnow, with a calm expression, said, "Your backgrounds are also extraordinary. Why belittle yourselves?"
"What business do you two have with my senior sister and me?"
Seeing that Moon Clearsnow had gone straight to the point, Princess Pingyang no longer hid her intentions. With eyes full of longing, she looked at her and said,
"I heard that you two sisters possess a treasure called the Truth-telling Pearl. I am very curious. Could you sell me one?"
The two sisters were both surprised to hear this and glanced at Princess Pingyang, not expecting her to come for this reason.
Yue Qingmeng looked at her senior sister, indicating to Princess Pingyang that her senior sister was in charge of this matter.
Moon Clearsnow's expression quickly returned to its cold composure. She shook her head and said indifferently,
"The Truth-telling Pearl is a unique treasure of my Yuehua Palace. It is impossible to sell it to outsiders."
Although Princess Pingyang had anticipated this, she still felt a bit disappointed upon hearing the reply. Unwilling to give up, she said,
"I can give you a lot, a lot of money—pills, gold, magical artifacts, cultivation resources, anything. Just name your price, any amount will do!"
Looking at the eager Princess Pingyang, Moon Clearsnow still shook her head with a calm expression.
"Since it is said to be a unique magical artifact, it cannot be leaked to the outside. This is not a matter of price."
Upon hearing this, Princess Pingyang's face showed deep disappointment. The other party's face showed no sign of wavering, clearly not playing hard to get.
As for the cute girl, she was even more like a good child who listened to her senior sister in everything...
Shen Xinrong, however, asked suspiciously, "Is this Truth-telling Pearl really only possessed by your Yuehua Palace, with not a single one outside?"
Moon Clearsnow's cold, jade-like face rarely showed a change, but she nodded proudly.
"Of course. The materials for refining the Truth-telling Pearl are very unique and hard to find outside, and it also requires the unique refining technique of my Yuehua Palace to be produced. It is impossible to replicate outside, and even within my Yuehua Palace, there aren't many!"
"Alright."
Although Shen Xinrong was skeptical about this, she still nodded. She couldn't openly contradict them.
However, she thought to herself that she would ask Shengyuan to have Ye Hangzhou try to refine it when she returned.
She knew from Li Shengyuan that Ye Hangzhou was one of the top inventors and artifact refiners in the entire Great Qian!
The entire hundred-zhang battleship was something he and his subordinates had concocted!
At this moment, Princess Pingyang looked at Moon Clearsnow with anticipation again and said,
"Sister Qing Shuang, since you can't sell it, could you lend it to me for a while?"
"I promise to return it as soon as I'm done!"
After Princess Pingyang finished speaking, she patted her somewhat ample chest to guarantee it.
Selling was out of the question, but lending it might be fine, after all, the Truth-telling Pearl had no usage limit.
However, since she had only recently met Shen Xinrong and the other woman, it wasn't appropriate to lend it out so easily.
Moon Clearsnow shook her head, about to refuse, when a voice, tinged with mockery and teasing, interrupted her.
"Oh! Isn't this a fairy from Yuehua Palace? What a coincidence to meet you here. How about coming over to sit and have a couple of drinks with big brother!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the four women who were conversing had their attention drawn and looked towards the source of the sound.
Two burly men, covered in muscles, were seen walking towards the location where the four women were.
Moon Clearsnow's face immediately turned cold, and the cute girl Yue Qingmeng's jade-like face also showed a hint of disgust.
"The people from Giant Spirit Hall are truly persistent, always encountering such disgusting people everywhere!" Moon Clearsnow said coldly.
"Giant Spirit Hall?"
Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.
Wasn't this one of their objectives for this trip to the Northern Border Three Prefectures?
They hadn't expected to encounter disciples of the Giant Spirit Hall here.
However, Yanwang City, as the largest city in the Northern Border Three Prefectures and located in the central region of the Northern Border, served as a transit point for going anywhere. It was normal to encounter disciples from various major sects here.
Moreover, it was rumored that Yuehua Palace and Giant Spirit Hall, one being entirely female and the other entirely male, looked down on each other, with constant friction between them. It seemed they had encountered sworn enemies.
Princess Pingyang was not only not annoyed but even a little excited.
If she and Sister Xinrong came to the rescue like heroes, would the Truth-telling Pearl be within reach then?
Princess Pingyang and Shen Xinrong exchanged glances, both seeing the other's thoughts.
The two from Giant Spirit Hall, one at the fifth-grade and one at the sixth-grade, meant that Moon Clearsnow and the other woman were likely not their match in terms of apparent strength.
The opportunity had arrived!
At this moment, the burly man from Giant Spirit Hall, who had fifth-grade cultivation, let out a sinister laugh.
"Little hussy, daring to come to Jizhou, you truly aren't afraid of death!"
After speaking, he stretched his muscles and walked step by step towards the four women's location.
Moon Clearsnow's expression darkened upon hearing this. She said coldly, "Private duels are forbidden within Yanwang City!"
The fifth-grade burly man, however, scoffed, "A private duel is when a fight breaks out. With your two cultivation levels, I can easily take you down in one move, so it naturally doesn't count as a private duel!"
And even if a fight did break out, given the relationship between their Giant Spirit Hall and Yanwang City, they could easily settle it!
"Come here, little hussy from Yuehua Palace!"
After a sinister laugh, he extended his large hand and grabbed towards Moon Clearsnow.
Moon Clearsnow and her senior sister's expressions changed.
Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang's faces, however, lit up with joy, thinking that their chance had come!
However, before Shen Xinrong could make a move, someone else acted even faster!
As a flash of sword light streaked across, a young man with two swords on his back suddenly appeared between the two sides.
"Are all members of the Giant Spirit Hall such despicable people who bully the weak?"
