Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

Chu Yan didn't dare to say that he understood everything. He was not arrogant enough to that extent.

"To enter a dream that is extremely complete, a token seems to be indispensable. In this case, when I try to meet Virtue next time, I need to ask Sister Theresa to move that flaming cross away from me, and don't throw a huge one at me right away."

As for the Witch of Sorrow, he had met her several times before, but the church's faith system was unfamiliar to him, so he had to be careful.

"It's better to find the grandmother. Our own ancestors are more reassuring!"

Chu Yan stood up and stretched, feeling moved by his own efforts. He really worked hard for himself.

He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and suddenly felt a familiar breath lingering nearby.

Chu Yan stopped drinking water, frowned slightly, and thought about this familiar feeling.

Until there was a knock on the door, Chu Yan walked over to open it, and was overjoyed to find that it was his sworn sister Princess Ye Na.

"Long time no see~" Princess Ye Na waved and greeted.

Chu Yanyou remembered that this sworn sister had a cold and gloomy temperament. When she was silent, she was like walking in the drizzle of rain, the sky was gloomy, and the world was gray.

But the reunion after such a long separation must have been a joyful thing for her. Her moon-white face looked much more energetic, her eyes were filled with excitement, and the corners of her lips raised in a beautiful curve.

Princess Ye Nai appeared suddenly. Chu Yan stood in front of the door blinking and unable to speak. It took him a while to come back to his senses and pull her to the living room to sit down.

He scratched his hair, his thoughts returning from the moment of farewell to the present, and he said slowly:

"It hasn't been that long, but there's no way to contact you. It's like there's no news at all. I can't hear from you."

Princess Ye Nai saw that he took a long time to respond to her greeting at the door, feeling a little helpless, she chuckled and said:

"It's normal that you can't get any news about the empire. I can still hear a lot about you. It's quite lively."

It is very easy for the empire to find out news from the outside world. Just find a middleman who buys and resells goods on the border of the country and ask him about the affairs of the Babel city area.

This city-state holds no secrets.

What excited Chu Yan the most was that she was safe and sound.

After being framed, Princess Ye Na returned to her country alone to settle the score, without even anyone to take care of her.

The only thing that accompanies her is the sword of the Curse Witch and the sword skills that the witch mother helped her improve.

"Sister Ye Na, you can come back here calmly now, which means you have dealt with the domestic affairs. But I still want to ask about your experience after you returned."

"The experience was not complicated. It was nothing more than clearing out all the framers. Of course, there were some that were not cleared out."

Princess Yana is the daughter of the emperor after all. There is no one in the upper and lower levels of the Yama Empire that she cannot reach. Once the target is basically determined, she can clear them all out without worrying about "too many involvements and difficulty in taking action."

The mere fact of "the murder of the imperial princess" was enough to serve as a military order for her to act at will, and she could target anyone she wanted, except the old emperor in her family.

But if King Yama wanted to kill his own daughter, why would he beat around the bush? He could just give the order directly.

Therefore, after returning to her country, Princess Ye Na followed two clues to settle accounts and seek revenge.

One is the faith contract of the Cursed Witch. It was definitely not an "accidental" act that the fellow disciples in the kendo gym gave this faith contract to her as a "secret book of swordsmanship".

The other is General Shi Li. Following the follow-up of the Contract of Faith, General Shi Li controlled her after she lost control, and was ready to repeat the same trick, directing and acting in a drama by himself, in exchange for a wave of military recognition.

However, this time the credit was not for himself, but for the eldest prince who wanted to surrender.

"The situation at the kendo gym has been settled. With the help of this sword and my improved swordsmanship, I defeated the teacher who taught me swordsmanship."

The beautiful woman with long silver hair spoke calmly, without too much joy, nor the excitement after revenge, but only an inexplicable lament and loneliness.

After all, Ryuukei Kendo Gym was a quiet place where she used to escape stress.

......I remember her teacher, he seemed to be some sword master from the Yama Empire.

589

Chu Yan muttered in his heart and asked again:

"Did this Sword Saint teacher participate in your murder?"

Princess Ye Na was unable to give a decisive answer. This seemed to be a complicated question. She said:

"I thought he was also the murderer at first, but later I found out that he was not..."

A practitioner who can calm down and live in a quiet place is unlikely to take the initiative to participate in such things.

If one is thinking too much about political schemes, it will be difficult to cultivate the sword skill to the heart.

Moreover, he has passed the stage of fighting for power and being a vassal of power. Even if this Shadow Sword Master tries harder, it will be difficult for him to climb to a high position in the empire.

It can be said that the Shadow Sword Master has indeed reached the stage of breaking away from the vulgar interests of life.

However, as long as people are alive, as long as they have concerns and as long as they have family, it is difficult to truly detach themselves from the world.

Just because Liuying Sword Saint didn't have that idea didn't mean his disciples didn't have it. Among those disciples, there was the son of Liuying Sword Saint's elder brother.

They were at the prime of their lives, and possessed extraordinary swordsmanship skills. They should have used these skills to gain more power and wealth. So how could they be willing to follow the Flowing Shadow Sword Saint to practice in the waterfall forest for the rest of their lives and become ascetics at the best age of their lives?

Therefore, they failed to resist the eldest prince's instigation and accepted his instigation.

If things go well, they will be able to come directly to the eldest son of the empire and become the people closest to the next emperor. How can they not be tempted?

By the time the Sword Master of Flowing Shadow learned what his disciples had done, things had already happened. In the end, he harbored selfish motives and could not bear to kill his brother's child.

This can be considered as a loss of integrity in his later years, and he was implicated by others, but it was also his choice.

After returning, Princess Ye Na killed all those disciples and then started a duel with the Liuying Sword Saint.

One took up the sword out of revenge, while the other took up the sword as the owner of a kendo gym because his hard work was destroyed.

The final result was that Princess Ye Na's side won slightly.

This was a surprising result for her. She was holding the witch's sword and using improved swordsmanship, yet she only won slightly.

All I can say is that the Sword Master’s reputation is well deserved.

"However, I didn't kill him in the end. After injuring him severely, I left the Kendo Hall and headed for the imperial capital... Brother, do you think I was soft-hearted?"

Chu Yan could understand that feeling to some extent.

Ryuuei Kendo Gym is a quiet place for Princess Ye Na to escape from the high-pressure atmosphere. It can be said to be her utopia in childhood.

The Flowing Shadow Sword Master did not hide anything when teaching swordsmanship, and he only found out about the murder afterward, but chose to protect his relatives and younger generations.

There are always people who use "have no choice" to cover up their evil deeds and whitewash their own badness.

The Shadow Sword Master did not explain too much. He accepted the duel with dignity and paid for his own choice. There was nothing much to say.

Chu Yan shook his head: "No, I am afraid that you will be retaliated against in the future. If he is severely injured and cultivates again, breaks through the peak, and attacks for revenge, what should I do then?"

Princess Ye Na thought deeply, it is indeed possible, she said: "Then I can only kill him, and then see if my sword master teacher can make a breakthrough in the 'Flowing Shadow Sword Technique'. If so... I will see if I can learn it and let the Curse Witch improve it."

"..."

If that sword master teacher finds out someday that you let him go now, as if you were waiting for him to break through so that you can steal his swordsmanship again, he will be so angry that he will come back to life.

Chu Yan wanted to ask again why the eldest prince wanted to make a fuss about Princess Ye Na, but he felt that there was no need to ask specifically.

As children of emperors, their background can explain many reasons.

Especially with the tone of the Yama Empire, where the most powerful are appointed, even if you are of the emperor’s bloodline, I would feel ashamed if you are a waste, and the situation of secret fighting becomes even more serious.

Since he couldn't directly prove that he was stronger than Princess Ye Na, he could only kill her secretly.

"Sister Ye Na, have you dealt with the grudge against the eldest prince?"

Princess Ye Na shrugged helplessly. She sighed and said, "No, he is still alive and well. He will appear with me in the Babel city area in a while."

"Ah?" Chu Yan was a little dumbfounded.

This doesn’t make sense!

The fact that Princess Ye Na was able to return here smoothly to meet Chu Yan shows that her actions in the empire should have been relatively smooth.

If he exposes the eldest prince's frame-up, he will definitely be in trouble, right?

"Your emperor father has no intention of...teaching a lesson? Is he protecting his eldest son?"

"Not really..." Princess Ye Na was thinking about how to explain, "He lets his children deal with their conflicts on their own."

"This doesn't count as shielding you. He almost killed you." Chu Yan was puzzled.

"My father first praised my ability to overcome the contract of faith and my unprecedented willpower. As for the eldest prince's framing, my father regarded it as a declaration of war between his children. Even if the eldest prince dies at my hands in the future, it will be a well-deserved solution."

Chu Yan was stunned when he heard it, but when he thought about the customs of the empire, he vaguely understood the meaning.

King Yama did not really protect the eldest prince. He probably felt that his children were adults and should face all risks and challenges alone.

590

Even if this malicious challenge comes from the closest people, you have to bear it.

The eldest prince has now taken the initiative to attack Princess Ye Na, and is beating her to death, so this can be regarded as the official beginning of the conflict between the two.

Only those who can survive the fight are worthy of continuing to be the emperor's descendants!

Author's words: 17:54, very fast update, very early today, the self-challenge of updating during the day has been completed!

Chapter 177: The Cursed Witch can be stuck with a bug

Therefore, the reason why King Yama is not partial to the eldest prince is probably because if he is killed by his daughter Ye Na in the future, he will not pursue the issue of Ye Na.

Be fair and just, and treat no one unfairly.

However, from Chu Yan's perspective as an observer, this is somewhat biased.

Now the eldest prince was the one who made the first move. Even though he failed, he only lost his golden ticket to immunity from death. But what if he succeeded?

Princess Ye Na is already dead. She has nowhere to go to seek justice. How can she talk about fairness?

And there is another point that needs to be discussed. King Yama said that he would not pursue the future results, but this is only his current statement.

Maybe one day in the future, the eldest prince is about to die, and he suddenly jumps out to act as a reasonable person. What should we do then?

Now that the situation has been settled, Chu Yan couldn't say anything else. He sighed and said:

"I hope that Emperor Yama can maintain his current iron-blooded attitude at some point in the future and not go back on his words."

Princess Ye Na pulled out the simple sharp blade beside her and gently rubbed it with her fingertips. The blade glowed with a blood-red glow like the setting sun, which was a response to her.

This can also be seen as Princess Ye Na's current high degree of compatibility with this weapon.

Chu Yan subconsciously looked at the sky outside. It was not even dusk yet, but the weapon was already showing its "gradient breathing light".

"By the way, how are you two, the bloodline of the emperor, going to argue with each other in the future? Just make an appointment to meet somewhere and test your strength?"

"It hasn't been made clear yet, but it's probably not that easy. The news that I defeated the Sword Master of the Flowing Shadow has spread to everyone in the empire, and the eldest prince has retreated to his palace."

Princess Ye Na reluctantly put away her weapon. If her father was willing to resolve the conflict through a direct duel, then he would really be helping her.

Chu Yan was puzzled: "What is the situation now? They just pulled you apart without telling you how to fight."

"I guess we are asked to deal with the situation at the Tower of Babel together? Because my father also ordered us to lead the team to deal with the situation at the Tower of Babel. The main force is still behind. I left a few days earlier and did not follow the team."

"Dealing with the Tower of Babel matter, what exactly is it, looking for the 'door'? Or seizing resources or something like that?"

"It wasn't stated explicitly, we were just left here like an open-ended question in a clerical exam."

"..."

Chu Yan blinked his eyes. It was really hard to figure out the Yama Emperor. If he wanted to be partial, he would be thorough. If he wanted to be fair, he would be obvious. Now he made it so ambiguous.

Let's just think of it as him throwing his two children into the arena at the same time to let them play, grow, and fight for life and death. There is no other way.

As for Chu Yan personally, if he had sufficient strength, he could go alone and kill the eldest prince in seconds.

But it is also possible that the eldest prince left the empire and came to this place where all kinds of people mixed together, and he had been driven out of the protective harbor.

"So what is the ability of this great prince?"

"He is still pretty good. In addition to his excellent talent and strength, he also has the cutting-edge technology support of the Yama Empire. He is definitely not a weak young man who simply relies on his background."

The technical support of the Yama Empire should not be underestimated. The [Overload Hardened Bullet] used by Omega is quite outrageous.

Chu Yan continued to ask about the future competition between Ye Na and the eldest prince, and learned that Princess Ye Na now has a group of subordinates following and supporting her. They are from her mother's family, or more directly, her mother's aunt, that is, Princess Ye Na's aunt.

This aunt holds a high military rank in the imperial army.

As for the eldest prince, General Shi Li had been helping him earlier, so he naturally had no worries about followers.

"I also have an aunt, the gap is... Oh!" Chu Yan was worried about the unrealistic performance of his elders.
