Their words were sarcastic and really unpleasant to hear.

Qinglian smirked, "Do you know I am the Thirteenth Princess? It’s outrageous that you don’t kneel when you see me. Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, slap these two unruly subjects for me."

As soon as she assumed her princessly stance, she immediately exuded an incomparable nobility, as if her body were cloaked in the holy light of the Royal Family.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, who were called out, had fair faces and red lips, having been at Dragon Tiger Mountain for less than two years. They didn’t dare hit the two senior sisters and stood rooted in place, not daring to move.

Li Rourou burst into exaggerated laughter. After finally stopping, she said with disdain, "This is not the place for you to flaunt your princess status. If you want to show off, go back to your Imperial Palace. I hear you’re not favored in the palace. What, are you coming here to feel important? This is Dragon Tiger Mountain, not a place you can enter easily."

Chu Luoyi covered her mouth and giggled, "Exactly. Do you know how many people on this mountain look down on you? Ha ha!"

Their sarcastic remarks made their already unimpressive appearances even more unremarkable.

Infuriated, Qinglian’s oval face turned sullen: "Then let me personally take action." She stepped forward, raised her right hand, and swiftly slapped each of them. After the slaps, she dashed behind Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and others, seeking protection.

Li Rourou and Chu Luoyi held their faces in disbelief.

This seemingly weak princess had actually slapped them hard, and before they could react, she ran away to hide.

She hid away...

The group found themselves under the red lacquered round-arch corridor next to the martial arts practice grounds.

Seeing the two female disciples rushing at her like shrews, Qinglian shouted, "Stop them quickly."

The seven disciples shifted their steps, blocking the two senior sisters.

Xiao Wu stepped forward as a representative to speak, "The master uncle ordered us to protect the princess. Not a scratch can be tolerated. If you have any grievances, you may go to see the master uncle for an explanation. Please don’t make things difficult for us."

They didn’t dare beat the senior sisters, but their duty was to protect the princess.

If a fight broke out because of protecting the princess, it would be understandable...

Qinglian, holding a lotus-embroidered handkerchief, stood cutely with an innocent expression: "You can go to Wanmu and see how he will handle it."

Li Rourou had a stern face, her gaze sharp: "The master uncle will surely favor you."

Usually, the master uncle indulged this princess, allowing her to roam freely on Dragon Tiger Mountain. Once, he even took the unruly princess into forbidden areas and specially assigned junior brothers to protect her. That treatment was unprecedented.

If today’s matter was blown up to Minglian Hall, it certainly wouldn’t end well.

The Little Palace Maid Chun Xing glared indignantly, stepping forward and scolding, "How dare you speak to the princess like that? It’s you who are at fault first. If it were in the palace, you wouldn’t have enough heads to lose."

Chu Luoyi snorted, "Unfortunately, this isn’t the palace. In Dragon Tiger Mountain, all disciples are treated equally, regardless of status."

As soon as she finished speaking, she snatched up the long whip in her hand and leapt into the air, swinging it towards Qinglian.

Xiao Wu, quick-witted, tapped with the tip of his toe, leapt up with his sword and intercepted, starting a fight.

Simultaneously, Li Rourou joined in, swinging her sword upwards. She wanted to teach this Thirteenth Princess a lesson because she also admired the man with eyes like autumn waters and bones like jade. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Fortunately, each of the remaining disciples had brought their swords. With no other choice, they had to brace themselves and join the battle.
