…

“Jingan, don’t be so formal.”

Princess Su Yun smiled as she helped her up.

After a bout of pleasantries, Princess Yong Shaoguang of Jingan welcomed Princess Su Yun into the Cuiwei Garden, arranged for maidservants to serve Spirit Fruit and refreshments, and then personally brewed tea for Princess Su Yun.

“I heard that Sister Su Yun recently displayed great power on the battlefield beyond the territories, leading a force to break a battalion of elite demons and personally slaying a Level Nine demon commander. Your meritorious achievements are truly admirable, making Jingan long for such feats.” Princess Yong Shaoguang personally served the tea, her eyes shining with admiration. “Jingan longs to advance to the Divine Power Territory soon so that I can follow you into battle and establish achievements together.”

The Yun family’s heritage spans tens of thousands of years, and the number of clan relatives has long been as extensive as a sea of clouds. Princess Yong Shaoguang and Princess Su Yun have an age difference of three to four hundred years, so it’s naturally impossible for them to be close sisters of the same generation.

However, after the Yun family daughters are conferred the title of princess, they are ranked by the princess sequence, and only upon becoming a Duke in the Void Realm are they excluded from the princess sequence.

Princess Yong Shaoguang’s compliment towards Princess Su Yun was casual, but upon hearing it, Princess Su Yun’s expression became severe: “Jingan, you must not treat the battlefield lightly. The demons beyond the territory are formidable and inherently vicious. Even though I made thorough deployments and attacked with superior numbers, our army still suffered greatly in defeating that battalion of elite demons.”

“The officers and soldiers who sacrificed themselves did so to protect the human race, not as cannon fodder for our Merit Points, nor as stepping stones for us to boast of our battle achievements.”

“Sister Su Yun’s reprimand is right,” Princess Yong Shaoguang’s expression also became serious. “It was reckless of Jingan.”

“Alas~” Princess Su Yun sighed softly, “I know you were likely discontented after being reprimanded by His Majesty. That’s why I rushed here to talk to you.”

“Sister Su Yun,” bringing up this matter, Princess Yong Shaoguang couldn’t help but feel aggrieved, “I didn’t provoke that Yun Mengyu girl. So why has she targeted me repeatedly? First, she suppressed my Jing’an Wei family, then she teamed up with the Dongqian Wang Clan to win over King Chaoyang, and next, she swept away the connections and foundations I’ve established in Chuanan.”

“Even with all this, His Majesty considers it all my fault, summoned me, reprimanded me harshly, and even ordered me to reflect behind closed doors.”

“Reflect? So what have you reflected on?” Princess Su Yun asked indifferently.

“I’ve been wronged; it’s clearly that lousy girl targeting me,” Princess Yong Shaoguang declared angrily. “I can’t take these losses in vain, and I must settle accounts with her one by one.”

“Alas~”

Princess Su Yun sighed: “Firstly, since Mengyu has been decreed as ‘Princess’, she is your fourth sister, not some lousy girl. Jingan, I know you have high ambitions and aim to inherit the position of Immortal Emperor; you’ve always had this goal.”

“Sister Su Yun, I…” Princess Yong Shaoguang’s expression subtly changed.

“No need to explain,” Princess Su Yun interrupted. “Now that it’s the period of succession for the position of Immortal Emperor, having such ideals and aspirations as a princess is normal. Not only do you have this ideal, but I and our second sister also wish to succeed the Immortal Emperor’s position.”

“But first, you must understand what responsibilities a princess of the Immortal Dynasty should bear, and what a potential Immortal Emperor must shoulder. At the very least, it’s not simply about networking and building a faction without considering the roles of a princess.”

Princess Yong Shaoguang’s expression became rather unpleasant, as these words were eerily similar to His Majesty’s criticisms of her.

“As a princess, you should help His Majesty shoulder burdens, defend one territory, and repel foreign enemies to protect the human race,” Princess Su Yun continued, noting that Princess Yong Shaoguang still hadn’t understood. Her tone gradually became severe, “You’ve been overseeing Jingan State for years; has there been any improvement in its chaos? One of your biggest supporters, the Jing’an Wei family, has profited greatly from the national calamities; are you unaware? And what have you done? The so-called ‘faction’ you’ve created in Chuanan State, do you not know their true nature?”

“Wanting to be an Immortal Emperor is not the problem. But with your current state, what qualifications and ability do you have to shoulder the fate of the human race?”

“Does the Immortal Emperor merely represent power and authority? No, they represent responsibility and burden, endless pressure.”

“As one of humanity’s strongest figures, the Immortal Emperor is humanity’s final shield, our ultimate reliance. Ministers may err, but the Immortal Emperor cannot.”

Princess Yong Shaoguang’s face alternated between red and white from the chastisement, rendering her speechless for a long moment.

Seeing her in such a state, Princess Su Yun sighed inwardly.

Ultimately, Jingan is too young and has not personally witnessed the harshness of the battlefield beyond, unaware that even achieving a peaceful life for humanity in this world is extremely difficult.

With this in mind, Princess Su Yun softened her expression slightly and continued: “Currently, among us four sisters, regardless of who becomes the Immortal Emperor in the future, the other three must give their utmost support to jointly protect the human race.”

“The fourth sister, albeit young, may have made some inappropriate actions, but as her third sister, you should set an example and guide her to undertake the responsibilities and roles of a princess. Rather than how you currently wallow in grievances, harbor hatred, and attempt revenge and suppression.”

“Let me ask you, have I, Su Yun, as the Eldest Princess, suppressed our second sister and you over these years?”

“This, certainly not,” Princess Yong Shaoguang replied awkwardly.
