CHAPTER 373: CHAPTER 309: SAYING NO, BUT MEANING YES

These few fateful words are simple and easy to understand, and Sun Xiaorui’s family comprehended them in the first stage.

The world is about to undergo great changes, and a princess is born at their home.

Princess, this title is not something an ordinary person can possess.

Even the daughters of various emperors in the Longyuan World are merely titled princesses, grand princesses, or various titled princesses at most.

Princess is an exclusive title for a Female Star Emperor.

In other words, their newly born daughter, Sun Xiaorui, is actually the reincarnation of an emperor.

This news undoubtedly frightened everyone in the Sun family, and Sun Xiaorui’s father instructed everyone not to disclose the Old Taoist Priest’s prophecy.

If someone with ill intentions were to know, Sun Xiaorui would no longer belong to them.

In their eyes, it doesn’t matter whether Sun Xiaorui is truly the reincarnation of a princess.

As long as Sun Xiaorui is their daughter, that’s enough.

Of course, this news inevitably leaked out, but after various investigations by unknown forces, no one believed the title of "princess" anymore.

Simply put, although Sun Xiaorui had a decent talent and always showed cleverness, there was quite a gap compared to those reincarnated emperors discovered by other empires or sects.

As Sun Xiaorui gradually grew up, she also came to understand her identity as the so-called princess.

But she was disdainful of it.

What’s so great about being the reincarnation of a princess? She was destined to be the beloved daughter of the Star God.

Over time, the prophecy given by the old Taoist priest regarding Sun Xiaorui became a joke, and both the Sun family and Sun Xiaorui herself viewed it with indifference.

Until one day.

The city where the Sun family resided was divided under the Wild Blade Clan, and when the sect recruited disciples there.

Someone heard about Sun Xiaorui’s prophecy and immediately laughed.

Rising because of a blade.

The Wild Blade Clan happened to be a sect specializing in cultivating saber techniques, which meant that the legendary "princess" might rise because of the Wild Blade Clan?

Although they knew the old Taoist priest’s words were unreliable, the steward recruiting new apprentices still brought Sun Xiaorui into the sect.

After joining, Sun Xiaorui didn’t exhibit any arrogant stance of a heavenly talent; instead, she progressed steadily and firmly from being an outer sect disciple to becoming an inner sect elite and then to the core of the sect.

Until the sect leader discovered Sun Xiaorui’s character and temper were quite good, he admitted her under his tutelage, making her a direct disciple.

Every step she took was steady, though it wasn’t surprising. The Wild Blade Clan’s sect leader doesn’t focus on talent, cultivation, or family background when recruiting direct disciples.

He values fate most in accepting apprentices.

After Sun Xiaorui became the sect leader’s direct disciple, no one mentioned the prophecy regarding her anymore.

But Mo Jianwu was different.

She personally witnessed Miss Sun climbing step by step, growing from a grassroots level to the heavenly talent she is today.

Sun Xiaorui now has reached the middle stage of star battle, and reaching the levels of Star Lord, Star Lord, might be easily within reach thereafter?

As for the legendary Star King, Star Emperor, Star Emperor, surely these aren’t difficult for Miss Sun either.

However, what made Mo Jianwu somewhat despair was.

Half a year ago, Sun Xiaorui secretly revealed information to her, leaving Mo Jianwu a bit at a loss.

Sun Xiaorui’s cultivation had remained at the middle stage of star battle for a long time without any progress.

Mo Jianwu still wanted to see Miss Sun climb high peaks, overcoming all obstacles to ultimately achieve greatness as a Star Emperor.

But why is the cultivation stagnant.

After thorough analysis, Mo Jianwu came to a conclusion.

The path Sun Xiaorui had traversed previously matched perfectly with the prophecy’s "rising because of a blade" content.

To advance further, Miss Sun must comprehend the next phrase, "encounter forest and become noble."

Over the past half year, Mo Jianwu dragged Sun Xiaorui into various forests.

Be it the forests within the battlefield secret realm or the notable forests that they could reach based on their abilities in Longyuan World, the two almost visited them all.

Yet Sun Xiaorui’s cultivation remained unmoved.

Sun Xiaorui told her not to persist on this anymore, Mo Jianwu appeared to comply, but she grew increasingly anxious inside.

Lately, the situation within the battlefield secret realm seemed to develop unfavorably for Sun Xiaorui.

This "encounter forest and become noble," what forest does it really signify.

And at that moment.

A person named Lu Lin appeared unannounced within Sun Xiaorui’s main camp.

At the first encounter, he directly ran into Sun Xiaorui’s younger brother, Sun Xiaorong.

Back then, Mo Jianwu didn’t think much.

In order to legitimately assess Lu Lin’s ability, she arranged a duel between Lu Lin and the patrol team members.

The result didn’t matter to Mo Jianwu anymore.

What mattered was that in the battle, she saw Lu Lin clad in armor and holding a shield.

That armor, that shield, wasn’t retrieved from a storage ring.

They were condensed from star power.

Star Skill!

Having been alongside Sun Xiaorui for so many years, Mo Jianwu was considered knowledgeable.

Star Skill is practically the standard for geniuses.

Only true geniuses can autonomously comprehend star skills during cultivation.

And depending on different talents, geniuses can autonomously comprehend varying numbers of star skills.

Those counted as geniuses can comprehend one star skill.

Exceptional geniuses can comprehend two star skills.

Peerless geniuses can comprehend three star skills.

Heavenly talents can comprehend four star skills.

Prodigies can comprehend five star skills.

Protagonists of the era, Sons of Heaven, can comprehend six star skills.

In summary, the more star skills one can comprehend, the more talented they are.

This point is almost universally known as common knowledge in Longyuan World.

During the afternoon battle, Lu Lin used two star skills all by himself, just like Sun Xiaorui as of now.

All indications suggest.

The true Chosen One destined for Sun Xiaorui is very likely Lu Lin.

However, Mo Jianwu has wanted multiple times to directly inform Sun Xiaorui about Lu Lin, yet she still felt somewhat uneasy.

As the direct disciple of the Sect Leader, Sun Xiaorui’s primary task currently is to compete with the other six for the sect leader candidate position.

Already half a year was wasted following Mo Jianwu in search of the so-called "encounter forest and become noble," now telling her about Lu Lin’s matter, Mo Jianwu feared affecting her image in Miss Sun’s eyes.

(Sun Xiaorui: Don’t worry, you already hold no image in my eyes.)

However, after mulling over it for a long time, Mo Jianwu made up her mind.

In the matter of helping Miss ’Encountering Forest Noble Status’, she would rather err and kill a thousand than let one slip by.

Thus, the earlier scene occurred.

Sun Xiaorui couldn’t help but feel helpless when she saw Mo Jianwu seriously introducing Lu Lin to her.

That destiny, it was just an old Taoist priest being bored and playing pranks on people, and after all these years, everyone treated it as a joke, except for her silly maid, Junior Sister Mo Jianwu, who took it seriously.

Encountering Forest Noble Status.

What noble status is she showing?

She is now in the Wild Blade Clan, already possessing powers second only to the Sect Leader and Elders, among her peers, only Xue Rongdao, Ren Jiuxiao, and Ying Zhong can steadily surpass her cultivation and battle power.

Isn’t this considered noble status?

The Sun Family, though flourishing, has come from a small household to now dominate a city as a super clan.

Isn’t this considered noble status?

"Alright, Xiao Wu."

"I already mentioned this when we returned from Ghost Wailing Forest, don’t bring it up again."

"Currently, I’m busy handling military affairs every day, I’m just treating it as if this matter never happened."

"You go and rest."

"Miss, but Lu Lin possesses Star Skills, and at least has two, which already matches your current talent."

"If he truly is your Chosen One, then missing out would be a huge loss."

Mo Jianwu said somewhat anxiously.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Mo Jianwu being so persistent, Sun Xiaorui suddenly straightened her posture, an invisible aura appeared on her.

Mo Jianwu shivered instantly.

She knew, she might have really made the Miss unhappy this time.

She quickly bowed and said, "Alright, Miss, then let’s forget it, I won’t bring it up again."

Sun Xiaorui then relaxed a bit.

After all, it’s a maid who has been with her for many years, like a sister, a slight admonishment will do.

Look how scared this child is.

"Hmm, you go and rest first."

Sun Xiaorui waved her hand, Mo Jianwu bowed her head and withdrew.

After Mo Jianwu walked away, Sun Xiaorui continued to stroll within the army camp.

After a busy day of work, it’s rare to have a moment of leisure, almost disrupted by Mo Jianwu, that little girl.

Walking and walking.

Sun Xiaorui suddenly sensed a faint Star Power fluctuation.

At this moment, everyone had slept, who is so diligent to be cultivating.

Sun Xiaorui was curious, and wanted to see which of the junior brothers was being so diligent.

Arriving at the front of an army tent, she sensed carefully.

Sun Xiaorui shook her head in disinterest.

No wonder she felt the Star Power fluctuation was very weak.

This wasn’t due to distance, but rather the person cultivating had a relatively low realm.

Could it be... Lu Lin cultivating?

Sun Xiaorui suddenly had a thought pop up in her mind, even causing herself to be surprised.

Lu Lin, she just felt that this junior brother had a different aura from ordinary people.

Moreover, he did possess decent battle power, so Sun Xiaorui simply promoted him, giving him a position to occupy him.

A junior brother with such ability, there are at least eight hundred of them under Sun Xiaorui’s wing.

Usually, she wouldn’t even remember Lu Lin’s name specially.

Maybe it’s Mo Jianwu playing tricks inside, making Sun Xiaorui end up in front of Lu Lin’s army tent for no reason.

Shaking her head, Sun Xiaorui didn’t think about Lu Lin anymore.

It’s late, she also needs to go back and rest.

But just then!

Sun Xiaorui’s footsteps suddenly paused, a haunted expression appeared on her face.

What a joke!

Good heavens!

Her cultivation, which had stagnated for half a year without any progress, suddenly started moving at this moment...

Sun Xiaorui looked at Lu Lin’s army tent with a shocked expression, thoughts ran through her mind.

This is impossible.

Lu Lin, a junior brother without even the Star Dust Realm, merely having some strength, could he really be her Chosen One?

...

The night deepened.

A slender figure sat cross-legged outside Lu Lin’s army tent, beginning to cultivate.

Early the next day, after a good night’s sleep, Lu Lin walked out of the army tent.

Today is his first day as General Manager Adviser, leading that group of unruly kids to learn.

Lu Lin had to think carefully, about what kind of welcoming ceremony to give when they meet.

Should he go all out, telling them they need to listen to him from now on?

Or separate and break a group, dismantling these kids’ small cliques from inside.

Or setting an example, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, having past experience, managing them would surely be smoother afterward.

For a moment, ideas constantly surfaced in Lu Lin’s mind, making it impossible for him to choose.

As a Camp Leader level Lu Lin, naturally, he had his own exclusive junior brother assisting him from the side.

However, this junior brother, with a cultivation a stage higher than Lu Lin, appeared somewhat wooden.

Aside from going to the main camp canteen to bring Lu Lin breakfast, he did nothing, standing at the entrance like a wooden stump, loyally keeping watch.

"Junior brother, have you eaten yet."

Lu Lin asked.

"I have, thank you, Brother Lu."

Tang Yan said loudly.

However, his face didn’t show any expression of gratitude, just like a poker face.
