Genius Ninth Princess

Chapter 27

Yin Yun got the room in the located in the northern quarters. Fu Ling and Ba Zi sleeps in the same room, Ye Ling and Ying Mei, Fan Yu and Jing Bu.

After making arrangements, Yin Yun heads for the palace alone, the rest stays behind, feeling assured that Yin Yun is protected by the Black Panthers.

It was now in the late afternoons. In a few hours, the sun will set. Passing through the palace gate with no resistance, Yin Yun walks towards the Imperial Study. The eunuch sees her and salutes.

"Ninth Princess is here!"

"Come in."

Yin Yun goes in and looks up at Yin Xing Tan seated up high on the platform, behind the table with a bunch of petition. Yin Yun walks up the small steps. Sitting down, the Emperor only measures up to Yin Yun's shoulders.

"Father, I have a request."

Looking up at his daughter with a gentle gaze, the Emperor smiles. Propping up his hands to his chin, he rests his head on the back of his hand.

"What is it?"

"I want to live outside of the palace for some time...." Yin Yun waited, praying for the answer she wanted. However, she didn't exactly got what she wished for......

"Sure, only if you do something first." Yin Xing Tan's casual answer surprised Yin Yun. Yin Xing Tan observed Yin Yun's expression, shocked, confused, and glee.

"Tell me. I'll definitely do it!"

"But are you positive you are able to do it?" Yin Xing Tan looks very worried.

"Father, how can you say that I'll unable to do it before even knowing if I can do it or not? Tell me, there's nothing that this daughter of yours can't do!"

"Then come to the court tomorrow meeting." Yin Xing Tan casually replied. But this reply made Yin Yun dumbfounded.

"Father, how can I possibly do that?"

"Oh? Yun'er, didn't you just say that as my daughter, there's nothing you can't do?" Yin Yun was speechless. Yes, she did say that because she thought the matter her father was talking about was just trivial! He even used her own words against her. What Yin Yun sees right now is a innocent looking middle aged man smiling at her, but she knows that this innocent face is very cunning. How can she possibly outsmart him, who have lived for more than a century?

"Yes." Yin Yun reluctantly gave in. It was not because she was worried about what will happen in the court, but what will happen to Fu Ling and the rest. What if that girl, Yan Fei, comes to find trouble if she's not there? Another thing was that Yin Yun did not know much about politics. In her past life, to earn money, she takes on high payed missions to assassinate a evildoer.

That day, when Yin Yun got to her house, she entered her room and requested for books on military strategy and historical recordings of the Shu Continent and also the Capital's history and foundations.

The next morning, everyone in the capital knew of the new Crown Princess Yin Yun. The news shocked everyone, who would have believed that a good for nothing can be the Crown Princess? But after receiving another piece of news indicating that the Crown Princess, with her early Heavenly Core cultivation was able to defeat a late Combat Soul cultivator!

Yin Yun got her own piece of news. She has broken through the middle stages and into the late stages of the Heavenly Core realm. Overnight, the energies kept on flowing into her, letting her body absorb the energy and somehow, the energies where refined until there was no impurities left. Spirit Marks were formed too. She originally need 30 to breakthrough but now that she has already done that, she now needs 60 Spirit Marks to enter the Combat Soul realm. When Yin Yun found this out, her first thought were: Did I receive a cheat? Heavens, I must have done a good deed in my previous lifetimes. How lucky, but this is the previous Yin Yun's body, how come she only stayed in the Foundation realm?

Sighing, Yin Yun got up. It was still early, the court meeting begins at 7 and right now it's past 5 in the morning. Yin Yun opened her closet, where her clothes should have been and it hit her that she didn't buy any yesterday. Yin Yun felt the urge to facepalm herself. In the end, Yin Yun decided to change at the palace. Before leaving, Yin Yun left a note behind.

On her way, she unexpectedly found a girl in servant's clothing on a road laying face down. Yin Yun recognized the girl as Xi Wen. Not wanting to implicate herself in any trouble, Yin Yun walked around Xi Wen and towards the palace.

What Yin Yun didn't know was that yesterday, Xi Wen was knocked down by the same member who got the banknotes for her. It was also the reason why Xi Wen hasn't returned even though the distance from the house to the Right Minster's Manor is far closer than to the palace.
