The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 123: Conversations with Qin Lienhua

"What are you doing in this place?" The young girl asked, breaking the silence.

Back in the world, Ling and his companion blinked their eyes slowly to recover their perception of the imperial moon. In the Qin Empire, there was a certain nickname for every member of the empire. The emperor and the crown prince or prince are called the imperial sun. As for the empress and the crown princess or princess is called the imperial month.

"Greetings to the imperial month, Your Highness the Crown Princess." Greetings were respectful to Ling and his companion, while Yang Jian only lowered his head slightly without saying a greeting.

Yang Jian's attitude did not go unnoticed by Ling and his comrades, although in the Qin Empire, the Emperor was not an absolute leader but his existence could not be underestimated. The emperor had the power to take control of the leadership of the entire territory. Seeing Yang Jian's actions just now made Ling a little worried. Yang Jian's courage deserves a thumbs up for his courage to not pay respects to the imperial family. Although Yang Jian was strong but according to Ling himself it was not enough to offend Qin Lienhua.

However hearing Qin Lienhua mention Yang Jian's name made Ling breathe a little relieved.

For Qin Lienhua himself also saw Yang Jian's demeanor, yet he didn't take it lightly. Ever since Yang Jian saved him from the ferocity of poison a few years ago, Qin Lienhua felt indebted to him. Plus Qin Lienhua's recent suspicion of Yang Jian that the young man had an unusual background made Qin Lienhua even more cautious.

The crown princess Qin Lienhua gave a brief nod to answer Ling and his companion's greetings. Approaching Yang Jian and standing before him made Ling and his companion hold their breath.

Qin Lienhua is known for a million charm young cultivator. Not without reason the title was pinned to him. Not only because of Qin Lienhua's good looks, but his achievements over the past few years faced an attack from a black cultivator on the front line made his name soar.

Seeing if someone with such a special identity Qin Lienhuan greeted Yang Jian as if they had known each other for quite a long time made Ling and his partner again startled. Yang Jian was too mysterious for them.

"What brings you here, princess?" Yang Jian raised his eyebrows next to. After Yang Jian there was no longer a party from the neutral white flow sect in Stone City because their group had completed the mission and returned to their respective sects. Yet why Qin Lienhua was still in Stone Town.

"I decided to stay longer with my teacher." Javan Qin Lienhua seemed to understand the intent of Yang Jian's question. Yang Jian was speechless not asking further regarding the reason why Qin Lienhua had to stay longer in Stone City.

"There are some things I'm going to discuss with you, Brother Yang." Qin Lienhua glanced at Ling and his partner giving a code if he needed some privacy with Yang Jian. "Sure if you have free time."Qin Lienhua was awkward.

Ling who was aware of the code from Qin Lienhua immediately resigned. Not to forget also they thanked Yang Jian and only replied a short nod from him.

And here they were, in the inn room of Qin Lienhua and Elder Tang for a while. Qin Lienhua decided to take Yang Jian to one of the buildings connected with the second residence of the Jingmi Nobles. The building is a special room for important guests who were deliberately prepared by the Jingmi Nobles. Due to Elder Tang's status as one of the influential elders of the great white sect plus Qin Lienhua's status as the crown princess of the Qin Empire made the two important guests.

Now Qin Lienhua, Elder Tang and Yang Jian were sitting in one of the rooms that was the living room in the residence.

As usual, Yang Jian was still sitting quietly waiting for Qin Lienhua as well as Elder Tang to utter the reason why they had invited Yang Jian into the Jingmi Nobles residence.

"First, I need to thank you for helping me at that time." Elder Tang started the conversation after quite a long silence.

The aura of Elder Tang seemed sharp and savage, although he said his thanks politely but clearly if he did not consider the importance of Yang Jian's existence. Thinking of Yang Jian's actions at that time was just a coincidence and Yang Jian was nothing more than a young man Qin Lienhua's age.

Hearing that, Yang Jian gave a brief nod, he remembered the moment where Elder Tang was pressed in the forest beside the headquarters of the cult group back then. To be honest Yang Jian did not need any thanks from Elder Tang at all.

Seeing Yang Jian's nod made Elder Tang speechless. It seems a little difficult to communicate with him.

Turning the conversation aside, Qin Lienhua began to discuss the reason for her calling Yang Jian.

Qin Lienhua looked at Yang Jian waiting for the young man's reaction, yet Yang Jian was still in an indecipherable calm manner waiting for Qin Lienhua to continue her remark.

"One of them is about the results of the meeting that you did some time before our meeting. Nobles Jingmi had given a detailed and detailed explanation regarding it." Qin Lienhua.

"And?"

"And we also offer assistance to the Jingmi Nobles for some matters such as imperial power to obtain materials and goods in order to recover." In other words, Qin Lienhua used her connections as the crown princess to obtain whatever materials were needed for the recovery of Stone Town.

"Continue?"

"Ah yes, we have placed some imperial soldiers to help expedite the process of shipping goods."

"So?"

"So we decided to help as much as possible."

"theirs?"

"theirs?" Qin Lienhua asked repeating Yang Jian's question. Meanwhile, Elder Tang sat quietly looking at the interaction between Yang Jian and his disciple and nephew.

Yang Jian was speechless, his inertia made Qin Lienhua glance at Elder Tang. Yet Elder Tang was only indifferent as he turned his gaze away.

"Look. We don't know where you got all those treasures from to cover the losses of Stone Town and it doesn't matter to us. So as the Crown Princess of the Qin Empire, I decided to cooperate with you until the end of the restoration of Stone City is complete." Qin Lienhua said.

"That's all?"

"What do you mean?"

Yang Jian sighed while scaling his chest. If that was all Qin Lienhua wanted to say why he had to explain so many unimportant things. It felt like something was covered by Qin Lienhua.

"You know that's not what you're supposed to say to Hua'er." This time Elder Tang spoke up while looking softly at his shoulder.

"That's not important, teacher. We'll discuss it as soon as the construction is completed."

"Can't Hua'er. We should discuss this matter with the Jade Stone Sect."

It was just that Yang Jian raised his head as Elder Tang called out the Jade Stone Sect. It seemed like Yang Jian was beginning to understand what Qin Lienhua was hiding.

"What do you mean." Yang Jian asked coldly making the room instantly stuffy.
