Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 698: Recruitment

Young Master Xiao Yi had just entered the Royal Palace when a maid came to lead him.

As he walked, Xiao Yi pondered.

He had heard the name of Princess Fengxu.

She was the most outstanding Martial Arts talent in Fengxu Kingdom.

There were even rumors that had she not been a daughter, the ruler of Fengxu would have passed on the throne to her long ago.

However, Xiao Yi was not detailedly informed of her specific achievements.

He had never intended to stay long in Fengxu Kingdom, naturally, he would not look into irrelevant intelligence.

But what was the purpose of Princess Fengxu’s summons this time?

He had never met her before and this was also his first visit to Fengxu Capital.

Before long, Xiao Yi had arrived in front of Fengxu Palace.

"Young Master Xiao Yi, Fengxu Palace is right ahead," the maid said respectfully.

Xiao Yi nodded and strode forward.

The maid reminded, "Young Master Xiao Yi, aside from the residence of the ruler, Fengxu Palace is the most important place in the entire Royal Palace."

"Please remember not to wander around inside."

Xiao Yi nodded.

Fengxu Palace was vast.

Around it, were planted swirling green willows.

Although they were not precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they swayed with the wind, their catkins dancing as if in a ballet, very beautiful indeed.

A gentle breeze brushed the face, refreshing and invigorating.

"Young friend, please this way." Just at that moment, a middle-aged man appeared out of nowhere.

"Heavenly Origin Realm," Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

He walked almost a hundred meters more before he actually reached Fengxu Palace.

Xiao Yi slightly frowned.

In his perception, around Fengxu Palace, five Peak of Heavenly Origin Realm strong warriors were hidden in the shadows.

The middle-aged man pushed the door open and entered.

Xiao Yi followed.

Inside Fengxu Palace, it was very bright.

It wasn’t very luxurious; rather, it was simple and austere.

In the middle, there was a low table.

Around it, were several cushions.

A lady was quietly kneeling on one of the cushions, sipping fragrant tea.

The lady, clad in a loose and soft pale-blue dress.

"Princess, Young Master Xiao Yi has been brought here," the middle-aged man bowed and said.

The lady nodded, placed the teacup in her hand down, raised her head, and looked towards Xiao Yi.

The moment the lady raised her head, a breathtakingly beautiful face appeared before him.

Her delicate features were as calm as a lake, instantly evoking a sense of familiarity and an irresistible urge to get closer.

Her smooth long hair reached down to her waist, her figure slender and soft.

Such a water-like woman, softly captivating.

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but glance her way with a look of admiration.

But this look lasted only a second before he became indifferent again.

The lady, clearly noticing the change in Xiao Yi’s gaze, smiled slightly.

"So this is the renowned Young Master Xiao Yi?"

"I had thought perhaps he was a warrior with three heads and six arms."

"Who would have thought he would be such a graceful and genteel young man."

The lady said, laughing lightly as she looked at Xiao Yi.

In her words, she did not put on airs of a princess, instead addressing herself as ’a little woman’.

This person was not simple.

"Princess Fengxu recognizes me?" Xiao Yi asked directly.

The lady, Princess Fengxu, smiled and said, "I have indeed heard of the great name of Young Master Xiao Yi."

"A month and a half ago, he refined a Seventh-grade Peak Elixir, the Extreme Origin Pill, stunning everyone present." freēnovelkiss.com

"Not long ago, he became a Seventh-level Asura Warrior."

"Still young, excellent in both Martial Arts and refining, and a rare Body Cultivation Martial Artist."

"Such a Supreme Genius, this little woman has admired for a long time."

Xiao Yi, upon hearing the words, suddenly realized.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Princess Fengxu had already been investigating him since he had refined the Seventh-grade Peak Elixir in Fenghua City.

As the organizer of this refining competition, it wasn’t difficult for Princess Fengxu to look into these matters.

Xiao Yi had no interest in interacting much with her and directly said, "Princess Fengxu summoned me here, may I know why?"

Princess Fengxu smiled and asked, "Does Young Master Xiao Yi have important matters to attend to?"

"If not, why not come and sit down?"

"Otherwise, having Young Master Xiao Yi stand the whole time makes it seem as though this young lady is a poor host."

Xiao Yi frowned slightly and slowly walked to the table.

He sat down on the cushion opposite Princess Fengxu.

"Perhaps it’s best if Princess Fengxu just gets straight to the point," Xiao Yi said indifferently.

Princess Fengxu smiled and replied, "Since Young Master Xiao Yi is straightforward, this young lady won’t beat around the bush."

"I’ve heard that Young Master Xiao Yi has some disputes with Gale Trading Company."

"And unfortunately, you ended up killing the Eldest Young Master of Gale Trading Company."

While speaking, Princess Fengxu sized up Xiao Yi and personally poured him a cup of fragrant tea.

"You should be aware of Gale Trading Company," she said.

Xiao Yi nodded and replied, "I have heard of them."

Gale Trading Company wasn’t a company within the Fengxu Kingdom.

It belonged to the neighboring Gale Kingdom.

And it was the top trading company of the Gale Kingdom.

Moreover, the business and power of Gale Trading Company spread across several neighboring kingdoms, making it an absolute behemoth.

"What is Princess Fengxu really trying to say?" Xiao Yi asked with a frown.

"It’s simple," Princess Fengxu said. "Gale Trading Company is no ordinary power. After you killed Chen Yuan, they will not let it go easily."

"From what I understand, the fault does not lie with Young Master Xiao Yi."

"Chen Yuan’s notorious cruelty and brutality are well known."

"Moreover, since the incident happened in my Fengxu Kingdom and Young Master Xiao Yi is the Supreme Genius of this grand competition in Fengxu."

"My Fengxu Royal Family will not sit idly by."

"This young lady wishes to use her modest forces to ensure Young Master Xiao Yi’s safety."

After saying this, Princess Fengxu looked at Xiao Yi sincerely.

However, Xiao Yi’s expression suddenly turned cold.

What Princess Fengxu said sounded good, but in essence, she wanted Xiao Yi to join her ranks, into the Fengxu Royal Family.

To put it simply, Princess Fengxu was trying to recruit him.

"Is that all? If it’s just this matter, I will take my leave," Xiao Yi said coldly as he stood up.

"Wait," Princess Fengxu frowned and said, "Does Young Master Xiao Yi refuse to accept my goodwill?"

"Goodwill?" Xiao Yi sneered.

"If Princess Fengxu were a fool, perhaps I might consider it goodwill."

"Unfortunately, Princess Fengxu is not."

"What do you mean?" Princess Fengxu’s expression turned sour.

"Heh," Xiao Yi smiled coldly and remained silent.

In fact, ever since he was outside the doors of Golden Wind Trading Company, he had felt something was amiss.

When he had the dispute with Chen Yuan, he had already sensed a group from the City Guard Army lurking, ready to strike.

Only after he had killed Chen Yuan did this force suddenly appear to intervene.

Indeed, Princess Fengxu was no fool.

With her authority, she could easily observe every action within the Royal Capital.

She could have stopped Chen Yuan much earlier.

But she didn’t, obviously waiting for Xiao Yi to kill Chen Yuan.

"Young Master Xiao Yi, please stay," Princess Fengxu called out urgently.

Xiao Yi did not stop or respond.

Suddenly, several figures leaped out from the shadows, surrounding Xiao Yi.

They were the five peak warriors of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

"Young man, didn’t you hear what Princess Fengxu said?" the five elders coldly stared at Xiao Yi.

"What? Planning to detain me by force?" Xiao Yi sneered.
