Emperor’s Domination

g completely infatuated.
He tried his best to stay calm and praised her without holding back: “You’re still as pretty as a fairy, so unforgettable.”

“Thank you, Young Noble Liu.” She calmly answered while still following Li Qiye.

“Why are you here, Your Highness? Is it because of the commotion at the ancestral peak? I’ve heard that many experts have arrived because it has something to do with Sword Burial.
It might appear near here in this generation…” He then looked around first – looking mysterious – and lowered his voice: “Many geniuses have come too, they want to be the first to get to the zone if it actually shows up.”

He wanted to divulge everything possible to her, wanting to both curry favor and show off his knowledge.

“Your Highness, are you here alone? If you’re interested in Sword Burial, how about we go together? Teaming up will make things easier since it’ll be very competitive.
Everyone wants the divine sword.” He added.

“I appreciate your invitation.” She nodded politely and said: “But I am here on business with the young noble.” She then walked closer and stood behind Li Qiye.

The youth finally noticed Li Qiye after hearing this.
In fact, ever since he got here, his eyes didn’t move an inch from Ning Zhu.
Plus, even if he had seen Li Qiye, he wouldn’t have thought that these two were together.

“This gentleman is…” The youth found it surprising.
Why was this junior accompanying the princess?

“This is Young Noble Li.” She introduced briefly: “Young Noble, he is one of the four Weapon Heroes, Bladerain Young Noble Liu Yushang.”

Li Qiye smiled and nodded at the youth.

The four Weapon Heroes were famous alongside the ten Sword Prodigies.
They just used different weapons instead of swords.

Ten to four – this was another sign of the sword’s supremacy in this continent.

Liu Yushang was well-liked by the young generation, especially those from weaker sects or vagabonds.
The latter viewed him as an idol.

The reason was very simple – he was one of the few geniuses with no background to speak of.
For example, Princess Ning Zhu, Pendant Sword Lady, Starshooter Prince… They were all from prestigious clans and sects.

He came from a weak sect near Wooden Sword that no one had heard of before.
People would only talk about him, not his sect.

However, he was gifted enough to learn a top saber art, enough to let him roam freely around the world.
This was the reason why those with humble beginnings thought so highly of him.

Due to their locations, Liu Yushang had met the princess long ago.
He fell in love at first sight, unable to control himself whenever they met.

“You’re that Li Qiye?” He immediately asked.
Everyone knew about this legendary guy, the luckiest in the world.

“That’s my name.” Li Qiye smiled.

Yushang had no interest in Li Qiye.
He stared at the princess and hesitated: “Your Highness…”

He had heard of the bet before but didn’t pay it any attention.
How could a parvenu compare to the princess of Wooden Sword?
