The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today
Chapter 208 Congratulations to the Host
Ten days later, the Yun Nation's convoy finally arrived at the Canglan Nation's capital. They passed through the majestic city gates and entered the bustling streets.
The streets are lined with shops, flags flying, and the noise of people bustling about, demonstrating the country's strength and prosperity everywhere.
The Taoist priest lowered the curtain and said to Shen Yun, "Look at this, the capital of Canglan Kingdom is so prosperous. As the crown prince of Yun Kingdom, don't you have any sense of crisis? Your Highness, believe me, taking blood is definitely right."
Shen Yun glanced at him and nodded in agreement.
The convoy slowly drove towards the palace. From afar, the palace of Canglan Kingdom stood tall and majestic, several times more spectacular than the palace of Yun Kingdom.
The main gate of the palace was dozens of feet high. Two rows of guards in silver armor stood before it, their expressions solemn and their gazes piercing.
The convoy stopped not far from the palace gate. Shen Yun was the first to get off the carriage. He looked up at the towering palace gate, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Then everyone got off the carriage.
Shen Yun stepped forward and said to the Xianyun Sect members, "I'm sorry, everyone. I can only take Yingxue into the palace. You can rest in the best restaurant in the capital of Canglan Kingdom for now. We will come back to see you after we finish our business."
Wan Jinan immediately said, "It's okay. We just want to come to the capital of Canglan Kingdom for a stroll. You guys can do whatever you want."
As he said this, he raised his eyebrows at Jiang Yingxue, and Jiang Yingxue nodded in understanding.
"Then Your Highness, we will leave first. You guys go ahead and get busy." Wan Jinan said and left with the other two.
"Yingxue, let's go into the palace."
"Yes, Your Highness." Jiang Yingxue followed the etiquette of a palace maid, gently bent her knees, and bowed to Shen Yun.
However, as soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they were stopped.
The guard said, "My apologies, Prince Yun. The King has stipulated that, aside from you and your family, no one accompanying you into the palace may have any cultivation abilities. Therefore, we must test the cultivation abilities of every member of your entourage."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yun frowned slightly, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
The guard bowed slightly, his expression respectful but unyielding. "Your Highness, please calm down. The King has been attacked frequently recently, and the assassins are all highly skilled. Therefore, we are strictly controlling who enters the palace. Although we believe that His Highness has no ulterior motives, this is the rule. Please don't make things difficult for us."
He paused, his eyes sweeping over Jiang Yingxue and the others before continuing, "Furthermore, we've heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a cultivator. I believe His Royal Highness doesn't need any extra guards around him, right?"
As they spoke, several servants in palace robes pushed out a crystal ball for testing one's cultivation.
Shen Yun's face darkened slightly, and he felt a little unhappy. He naturally understood the concerns of the King of Canglan Kingdom, but such a rule obviously surprised him and even offended him.
The guard then said to them again, "Everyone, please come in."
Upon hearing this, several accompanying palace maids immediately stepped forward and placed their hands on the spirit-testing stone one by one. Since they had no cultivation skills, their expressions were calm, and they were clearly aware of their situation.
But when it was Jiang Yingxue's turn, she panicked.
As long as she puts her hand on it, her cultivation level will be exposed.
Seeing Jiang Yingxue hesitate, the guard's eyes grew wary. He stepped forward, his tone questioning, "I wonder what's holding you back, young lady? Could it be that a mere palace maid like you has some form of cultivation?"
Jiang Yingxue pursed her lips, unsure of what to do. After all, if she was exposed, she would not be able to enter the palace. But there was no time to produce any magical instruments to conceal her cultivation level.
At this moment, Shen Yun suddenly spoke: "Yes, she has cultivation. But she is not a palace maid."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue was stunned for a moment and quickly looked at Shen Yun.
The guard frowned and said, "Since she is not a palace maid, she is even more forbidden from entering the palace."
"She is my fiancée." Shen Yun said suddenly, startling Jiang Yingxue.
"Fiancée?" The guard blinked. "Your Highness, are you saying this woman in a maid's attire is your fiancée? The future Crown Princess of Yun?"
Shen Yun nodded seriously: "Not bad."
The guard obviously didn't believe it: "Your Highness, although I am only a guard, please don't lie to me. The girl is clearly wearing the clothes of a palace maid."
"She was wearing a maid's attire and staying with me, but it was just a fun thing between us."
The guard immediately shook his head, clearly unconvinced. "Does that girl have any evidence to prove you're not a palace maid, but the Crown Princess? If not, I'm sorry I can't let you go."
Jiang Yingxue came back to her senses and quickly cleared her throat: "I am the daughter of the loyal and brave marquis of Yun State, Jiang Yingxue."
As she spoke, she showed her badge: "This is the badge of the Marquis' Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yun immediately took over the conversation: "Yes, I am the crown prince of a country, and my crown princess is the legitimate daughter of a marquis's mansion. She is of noble status and is a perfect match for me. What's wrong with that?"
The guard's eyes moved back and forth between Jiang Yingxue and Shen Yun, hesitating to make a decision.
"What? Could it be that the Canglan Kingdom is going to stop even my Crown Princess? Is this how you treat guests!?"
Shen Yun suddenly raised his voice. Seeing this, the guards immediately lowered their heads and said, "Since she is the Crown Princess, she is your Highness's family and can enter the palace with you."
"That's good."
"But the rest of you still need to test your cultivation." The guard waved to Master Lu and said, "Come over and take the test."
Taoist Priest Lu frowned slightly. After all, he was a man of great cultivation, and the other party was determined not to let him enter the palace.
He sighed: "I am the State Master of Yun State, a favorite of the Yun State Emperor! This little bit of face——"
Before he could finish his words, the guard interrupted him: "Sorry, even with cultivation, it's not possible."
"you!"
Taoist Priest Lu pointed at the guard, furious. But he couldn't think of any other solution.
In desperation, he walked over to Shen Yun and gritted his teeth, saying, "Your Highness, you must hand over the two bottles to me at midnight tonight. You can't afford to delay state affairs!"
"I know." Shen Yun smiled cooperatively.
After all, in this way, no one would be watching him, and he would have no way of verifying whether the blood was real or fake.
"Then I will wait for you at the best restaurant in this capital." Taoist Master Lu turned and left.
Soon, everyone's cultivation was tested, and in the end, only Jiang Yingxue and a few palace maids were able to travel with Shen Yun. Even Yufeng could not enter.
The guard nodded to the eunuch not far away, and the eunuch immediately stepped forward and said, "Prince Yun, please follow me."
Shen Yun looked at Jiang Yingxue: "Let's go."
Jiang Yingxue nodded, and just as she stepped into the palace gate, an electronic sound suddenly rang in her ears.
【Congratulations to the host, the system has been successfully bound! 】
