The sixth prince picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "You are someone that Caiyue values, and you know your master well. Although she is ice-snow and smart, she is too straightforward and doesn't like to use her brain on the world."
"I hope you can take good care of your master and try not to let her be wronged."
Xiang Nandao: "My own master, I naturally respect him unconditionally."
"En." The sixth prince nodded, and said: "The private matters are over, now let's talk about business matters."
"You must be very curious, what kind of secret mission will let someone like me come to see you in person."
"Indeed." Xiang Nan was also very surprised by this. He knew that he was going to come to the palace to accept a mission from the royal family, but he originally thought that it would be the end of the day if he was received by the palace officials.
Who knew, the famous sixth prince came here, it seems that this task is not easy.
The Sixth Prince's expression suddenly changed, and he became extremely serious. He looked into Xiang Nan's eyes and said, "Before I tell you the task, I have a very serious question to ask you, and you must answer it honestly."
"Excuse me." Xiang Nan said.
The sixth prince leaned forward a little, and said in a deep voice, "Xiang Nan, can I trust you?"
At that moment, Xiang Nan suddenly felt as if he had been completely seen through by the sixth prince, which was an indescribable feeling.
It's like a person's eyes, drilled into your bones, drilled into the depths of your soul, to dig out your truest thoughts.
Xiang Nan has never experienced this feeling in anyone, not even the suzerain of Tianxuanzong in his previous life.
Xiang Nan knows how important the word trust is to members of the royal family.
How many intrigues in the palace, how many open and secret battles among the princes, are telling how important the word "trust" is in the royal family.
Xiang Nan was extra cautious when talking to the sixth prince. He didn't know that the trust the six princes mentioned meant whether he could be loyal to the Haotian royal family, or just that he could be loyal to the sixth prince personally. .
"Yes, as a disciple of the Haoran Sect, I will certainly fulfill the responsibility of a courtier to the Haotian Empire." Xiang Nan answered very cleverly.
Such ambiguous words are very unwise in the political world. If you don't make your position clear, you are asking for your own death.
But Xiang Nan never thought about going into politics, nor did he intend to have too many close disputes with the royal family, so it doesn't matter.
The sixth prince nodded, noncommittal to Xiang Nan's words.
He took out the letter and said, "Elder Shi Beihong has recommended you to me, so let's talk about your mission now."
"You know, Tianxuanzong and Feiyunzong are very powerful in the Jiuxiao Continent, which puts a lot of pressure on the Jiuxiao Empire."
"Just a few months ago, the Nine Heavens Empire had photographed an envoy, conveying to Haotian my intention of secretly cooperating."
"This is a good thing." Xiang Nan said.
"Indeed." The sixth prince said: "With our help, the Nine Heavens Empire can relieve the pressure brought by some sect forces, and our Haotian Empire can also benefit a lot from it. Of course, these are not your concerns. "
"And in order to express our sincerity, we are going to escort Princess Nine to the royal family of the Nine Heavens Empire. It would be the best if we can get married. If not, at least we have shown our attitude."
"However, Tianxuanzong knew about this matter somehow, and they will definitely obstruct it secretly."
"So your mission is to escort Princess Nine to the Nine Heavens Empire safely."
Hearing this, Xiang Nan's heart was very heavy. It would be fine if there were other tasks, but... Nine Princesses! If any accident happened to the nine princesses, even Haoranzong would be implicated.
"I don't understand." Xiang Nan mused, "Since it's such an important event, why do you need me, a little Guiyuan-level warrior, to escort you? Wouldn't it be better to find some high-level warriors?"
The sixth prince smiled and said, "Do you think we don't have any?"
"For the first time, we sent five sky-gazing realm warriors to escort the nine princesses to the Nine Heavens Continent."
"For the second time, five good fortune realm warriors were sent to undertake this task."
"But two times before and after, they were all intercepted and killed by people from Tianxuanzong and Feiyunzong. It was they who tried their best to protect the princess and sent the princess back."
"You know." The sixth prince crossed his hands and said seriously: "The higher the level of martial artist, the easier it is to become a target and be discovered."
"After two failed experiences, we understand that letting a high-level warrior escort the princess will become a living target for Tianxuanzong."
"And let low-level fighters like you go to the Nine Heavens Continent, the success rate will increase instead."
"Enemies encountered in the Guiyuan Realm are always in the Yuanyuan Realm, and most of the enemies encountered by the Peeping Heaven Realm are in the Peeping Heaven Realm. I understand this reason." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Then, can I refuse this task?" Xiang Nan asked.
The sixth prince smiled calmly, and said: "You already know about this mission, so do you know what kind of person can keep secrets?"
Xiang Nan sighed helplessly and said, "What should I do."
Apparently, only the dead are the best kept secrets.
It's easy to get on board, but hard to get off.
The sixth prince said: "In order to deceive people, the ninth princess has not lived in the palace since two months ago."
"Later, I will send someone to take you to see her. You have to remember two points."
"First, from now on, Princess Nine is your immediate boss, and her words are orders."
"Secondly, your status is too special. From now on, you are not Xiang Nan, but a gentleman who specializes in teaching princess knowledge. To put it bluntly, you are called Shaofu. To put it bluntly, you are a teacher."
"It was very unwise to use you as an escort. We were worried that the princess would be implicated because of your personal grievances with Tianxuanzong."
"But based on your strength considerations, we are still willing to take this risk."
"I understand." Xiang Nan nodded.
Shaofu is a very big official position, above which there are Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Shaoshi, and Shaobao below.
Of course, this Shaofu was a temporary official position given to Xiang Nan by the sixth prince, and it was used to conceal his identity.
"Then..." Xiang Nan hesitated for a moment, he came this time mainly for Haoran Huochi.
The sixth prince said: "I know, you want to enter the Haoran fire pool."
"The golden body you brought back is very important, but after all, this plan has not started yet, so I can't reward you for your merits in advance."
"Originally, I planned to let you successfully escort the princess, and reward you to enter the fire pool to practice after you come back."
"But considering that improving your strength is the key to the success of this marriage trip, I can let you go in and practice in advance."
"It's still the same sentence, I hope what I have done is worthwhile, Xiang Nan, can I trust you."
Xiang Nan immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Please don't worry, Sixth Prince, Xiang Nan will go through fire and water and die."
The sixth prince stood up and patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder: "I trust you now because of Caiyue."
"But I hope that next you can use your own actual behavior to prove to me that I have not trusted the wrong person."
"Okay, someone is already waiting for you outside, follow him to contact the nine princesses."
"Princess Nine will make arrangements for you in the future."
