Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1428: Chapter 1429: Successfully Finding a Mentor

But little did he know, as soon as he stepped out of the Transmission Array, he felt a terrifying attack descending upon him.

Ye Luo dared not delay; he didn’t even have the chance to invoke Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens, all he could do was to barely summon a protective spirit shield.

Regrettably, how could Ye Luo’s mere protective spirit shield withstand the full-powered strike from Princess Ling Xue!

Boom!

A loud noise ensued, and Ye Luo was sent flying.

Ye Luo was utterly dumbfounded; it was only after being flung a far distance did he realize his attacker was Princess Ling Xue!

Could this be the second trial?

But even if it was a trial, shouldn’t there be some time to prepare?

You should know, using a Transmission Array results in a short period of weakness!

It can be said that Ye Luo was currently in a phase of weakness from the teleportation, Princess Ling Xue’s surprise attack seemed a bit unjust!

Ye Luo could only assume that Princess Ling Xue was testing him, because although she was filled with rage, there was not the slightest intent to kill.

Nowadays, Ye Luo’s grasp of murderous intent was no less than anyone else’s. Whether Princess Ling Xue harbored a killing intent towards him, Ye Luo could tell at a glance!

”Stop!”

You Ji’s brows furrowed slightly; she knew that Princess Ling Xue was likely angry because Ye Luo had taken over Mechanism City.

However, wasn’t Princess Ling Xue herself also researching how to take over Mechanism City? Why is she so agitated now that Ye Luo has managed to do it?

Of course, You Ji would not know that another reason for Princess Ling Xue’s anger was that Li Long and the Xiaoyao King had once mentioned the marital matters between the two!

Even though Ye Luo is currently completely unaware of these matters, Princess Ling Xue still feels that all of this was because of Ye Luo.

To attack Ye Luo?

Perhaps even Princess Ling Xue herself does not know what’s driving her emotions.

You Ji roared loudly, and at the same time made her move, a strange ancient mirror appeared directly in front of Ye Luo, emitting a glow that surrounded and protected him.

”Ling Xue, what are you doing?”

You Ji asked somewhat angrily.

But Princess Ling Xue replied unapologetically: ”Aunt, this is between me and this guy, please don’t interfere!”

You Ji was taken aback, and Ye Luo was even more perplexed. It seemed that he and Princess Ling Xue didn’t know each other at all. What did she mean by this matter between the two of them?

Ye Luo felt incredibly wronged, having been attacked for no reason and not even understanding why he was hit!

”Wait a moment, Princess Ling Xue, what do you mean by your words? It seems that we didn’t know each other before, right?”

Ye Luo showed a helpless bitter smile and shouted out loud.

And You Ji was also slightly startled, looking at Princess Ling Xue’s demeanor, it seemed that there truly had been some conflict with Ye Luo before!

However, how could You Ji not know about Ye Luo’s background? The two of them should have had no possible intersection!

Upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, Princess Ling Xue bit her lip. Of course, she could not say she was so angry because Li Long and the Xiaoyao King had discussed her and Ye Luo’s marital issues.

At this moment, she was somewhat at a loss for words.

”I, I just don’t like the look of you and want to beat you up. What’s wrong with that, can’t I?”

Ye Luo’s eyebrows lightly lifted, but in his heart, he truly felt somewhat helpless—this woman, once unreasonable, was truly impossible to deal with!

However, precisely because of this, Princess Ling Xue had been labeled as a shrew in Ye Luo’s heart.

Despite Princess Ling Xue’s figure being considered perfect, her face, although unseen, could be guessed to belong to a beauty.

Nevertheless, having been tagged as a shrew by Ye Luo, he would no longer pay extra attention to Princess Ling Xue.

You Ji shook her head helplessly.

This niece of hers had never been so unruly before!

Indeed, within the entire Royal Family, Princess Ling Xue was an exceptional presence—not to mention her looks, she was also a talented woman, truly both beautiful and gifted.

Moreover, Princess Ling Xue’s conduct in the world had always been well-recognized by everyone.

In the fief of Princess Ling Xue, nearly all the people genuinely respected her.

And the number of Princess Ling Xue’s admirers had reached a whopping tens of thousands!

These admirers, akin to patrons, recognized Princess Ling Xue’s presence and were willing to stay and serve her.

Among these people were powerhouses, Alchemists, Array Masters, and so on, even including many strong figures from other nations!

As for those who came to the Great Tang Empire to seek marriage, there were even more.

The Xiaoyao King worried about marrying off his daughter, not because he feared that no one would want her—on the contrary, there were plenty who desired Princess Ling Xue. An offer of marriage had even come from a family in the Eighth Region to the Great Tang Empire.

Alas, Princess Ling Xue did not consent herself, so what could anyone do?

The reason Princess Ling Xue remained unmarried was simply that her standards were too high!

Therefore, in You Ji’s eyes, Princess Ling Xue would not be seen as such an unreasonable, wild girl; this time, her sudden attack on Ye Luo.

Indeed caught You Ji slightly off guard!

Ye Luo did not want to pay any more attention to Princess Ling Xue and instead walked directly towards You Ji.

”Disciple has successfully completed the assessment; I respectfully request the senior to accept me as an apprentice!”

Ye Luo stood reverently in front of You Ji, awaiting her response.

But You Ji looked at Princess Ling Xue and then let out a sigh, afterwards, smiling at Ye Luo, she said: ”Good, since you’ve passed the assessment, I’ll accept you. For now, I don’t plan to teach you anything. The opening of the Sacred Temple of Cloud Opening is imminent, and I wish for you to prepare well. I will secure a spot for you to enter the Sacred Temple of Cloud Opening. You just focus on preparing for the matters of the Sacred Temple these coming days!”

Ye Luo nodded, though something unexpected had come up recently, he still remembered about the Sacred Temple of Cloud Opening; after all, it was concerning Yun Liancheng’s background, and Ye Luo had already decided to accompany Yun Liancheng there.

Suddenly, You Ji turned to Princess Ling Xue and said: ”Ling Xue, come here!”

Although Princess Ling Xue was dissatisfied with Ye Luo receiving her Mechanism City, she had always been very obedient, and upon hearing You Ji’s words, she still came before You Ji.

You Ji observed Princess Ling Xue and suddenly felt that her niece, who worried about marriage, might have a chance to get married this time.

Although it was only a guess, You Ji had great faith in it.

Because Princess Ling Xue had never before shown such unique behavior towards anyone.

”Ling Xue, from today onwards, Ye Luo will be your junior brother. As Ye Luo has just joined the Royal Academy and is unfamiliar with the Imperial Capital, as his senior sister, I am entrusting all of Ye Luo’s affairs to you from now on!”

You Ji did not speak to Princess Ling Xue as an aunt but as a mentor, implying that there was no room for negotiation—this was a command!
