Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 69 Failed to break into the inner courtyard, asked for leave to go home.

The inner courtyard was in a secluded location, but that did not pose a challenge to Hun Qinghao.

She released a massive amount of soul power to probe and quickly located the inner courtyard, but in doing so, she also revealed her presence.

Elder Su Qian of the Inner Court sensed that someone had forcibly entered the Inner Court and immediately followed the aura to find them.

Seeing the old man suddenly appear in front of him, Hun Qinghao's face stiffened, and he exclaimed in his heart: I was careless!

Su Qian thought it was someone forcibly breaking into the inner courtyard late at night, but she didn't expect it to be this person.

Looking at her extravagant display of flowers, Su Qian twitched her lips, then smiled gently, her aged voice ringing out:

"Young Master, is there something important that you've come to the inner courtyard so late at night?"

"Are you Su Qian, the Grand Elder of the Inner Court?" Hun Qinghao asked, scrutinizing the old man with the strange large hat on his head.

Su Qian nodded with a smile: "It is indeed this old man."

Having already been discovered, Hun Qinghao made no attempt to hide anything and simply stated frankly, "Since you are Elder Su Qian, then things are much easier. I want to enter the Burning Heaven Refining Tower."

Hun Qinghao's frankness surprised Su Qian slightly.

He guessed that the young master had secretly entered the inner courtyard at night with ulterior motives, but had exposed herself due to carelessness. Therefore, when he asked her, she would definitely try to cover it up.

He hadn't intended to pursue the matter, but she directly stated her purpose, which put him in a difficult position.

"The Heaven-Burning Qi Refining Tower is located in the inner courtyard, and only inner courtyard students are allowed to enter. Your Highness is currently only an outer courtyard student, so please forgive me for not being able to let you pass."

Su Qian refused Hun Qing's request and waited for her next move.

But Hun Qinghao said calmly, "Then I'll just go into the inner courtyard. When can I go into the inner courtyard?"

Anyway, she wasn't in a hurry, and it was safe at Canaan Academy, so she drew the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram when she was bored.

Su Qian was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that the domineering young lady mentioned by the Dou Zun senior would be so easy to talk to.

"The outer academy has an annual selection competition. Those who make it into the top fifty can enter the inner academy. Your Highness is a freshman who enrolled this year, so you can only wait for the next selection competition, which will be about eight or nine months from now."

"Eight or nine months? That's a long time?" Hun Qinghao frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.

Thinking of Xiao Yan, who was enjoying himself while on leave, Hun Qinghao also had the idea of ​​taking leave. She could take leave to go out and have fun, and then come back to participate in the competition when the selection competition came.

"It's been too long, and the foreign language department is really boring. I need to ask for leave to go home." After two years away, she still misses her father quite a bit.

"Are you asking for leave?" Su Qian paused, stroking his beard.

Such an obscure term; since he became the Grand Elder of the Inner Court, no student has dared to ask him for leave.

Hun Qinghao blinked. "That's right, it's about taking leave. If Xiao Yan can take leave, why can't I?"

"Uh... alright, Your Highness, I grant you leave." Su Qian reluctantly agreed.

He didn't know who Xiao Yan was, but since the girl in front of him wanted to ask for leave, he wouldn't mind making an exception again.

"Then thank you very much, Elder!" Hun Qinghao smiled, her eyebrows curving upwards.

When she smiles happily, her smile is as pure and innocent as a child's, without any impurities.

Su Qian was also infected by her smile, and couldn't help but think to himself: Is this the domineering and willful young lady that the Dou Zun senior mentioned? She looks like a little girl who doesn't know the ways of the world. It's really strange that a place like the Soul Palace could raise such a beautiful girl!

Su Qian only saw the side of Hun Qinghao when she was happy, which is why he had this feeling. After he sees the other side of Hun Qinghao in the future, he will only think that the Seven Heavenly Venerables were still being conservative.

…………

In the outer courtyard, inside the pavilion, Cai Lin was processing fresh flowers when she sensed a fluctuation in the space in front of her. She immediately put down the flowers in her hands and stood up.

A spatial rift appeared, and Hun Qinghao stepped out.

Seeing that it was her, Cai Lin asked in surprise, "Qing'er? Why are you back so soon?"

Hun Qinghao poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said, "Don't even mention it. We died before we even reached the Burning Heaven Refining Tower. Elder Su Qian discovered us, so we had to return empty-handed!"

"We've been discovered!" Cai Lin was startled upon hearing this, but since Hun Qing had returned safely, Cai Lin knew there wasn't a major problem. So she turned to ask, "Then what should we do? Should Qing'er try to find another opportunity to enter the inner courtyard?"

"No, thank you." Hun Qinghao shook his head and continued, "Elder Su Qian said that I could enter the Inner Court through the annual Outer Court Selection Competition. I agreed, but there is still a long time before the selection competition, so I asked the Elder for leave and said that I had to go home."

Cai Lin: "Going home? Qing'er, are you going back to the Soul Realm?"

"Hehe, it seems Xiao Qing'er is homesick!" Yao Chen appeared and smiled faintly.

Hun Qinghao walked to the balcony, leaned against the railing, looked up at the bright moon in the starry sky, and said in a light and gentle voice, "I've been away from the Soul Realm for two years, and I miss my father a little, so I want to go back and see him."

"It's a good opportunity to go back this time and have the ninth-grade alchemist in the clan refine a body for the teacher."

This was something she had promised, and she always remembered it, keeping her word and never going back on it.

Upon hearing Hun Qinghao's words, Yao Chen was taken aback and moved. He went over, patted the little girl's head, and smiled gently.

Hun Qinghao smiled slightly at him, then turned to look at Cai Lin, who seemed to be struggling with something, and said, "Sister, do you want to come with me to the Soul Realm? If Father comes out of seclusion, it will be a good opportunity for him to meet you."

"Qing'er, I..." Cai Lin hesitated. Going to see Qing'er's father, such a powerful figure standing at the top of the continent, even someone as proud as her would feel a little nervous.

Looking at Hun Qinghao's expectant gaze, Cai Lin couldn't bring herself to refuse, especially since it was something they had agreed upon long ago. After struggling for a moment, Cai Lin made up her mind and nodded, saying, "Alright, Qing'er and I will return to the Soul Realm together to pay our respects to... our godfather!"

"Then it's decided in a good way. I'll go inform the Sixth and Seventh Elders, and then tell Little Annoying. We'll set off tomorrow." After saying that, Hun Qinghao rushed back to his room.

After delivering the message to the two elders, Hun Qinghao used spatial magic to arrive at Xiao Xun'er's residence.

It was late at night, and Xiao Xun'er was sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating. Hun Qinghao suddenly appeared and did not hide her aura. Xiao Xun'er, who was already very familiar with her, was not in a hurry. She slowly exhaled and exited her cultivation state, then slowly opened her eyes.

"It's the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

"I've come to say goodbye." With that, Hun Qinghao stepped out from behind the screen.

Seeing her head full of flowers, Xiao Xun'er sighed inwardly and shook her head, saying, "It's been a while since I last saw you, little devil, you've really become more and more exaggerated in some ways. But this look is actually quite pretty."
