Immortal Martial God

Chapter 590 Trust

The Sixth Prince picked up his teacup and smiled. "You are the person Caiyue valued. You know your master. Although she is smart, she is too straightforward and doesn't like to use her brain on human affairs."

"I hope you can take good care of your master and try not to let her suffer any grievances."

Xiang Nan said, "My own master, I will naturally show filial piety without any conditions."

"Yes." The Sixth Prince nodded and said, "We're done talking about personal matters. Now let's talk about business."

"You must be very curious about what kind of secret mission it is for someone of my status to personally come to see you."

"Indeed." Xiang Nan was also curious about this. He knew that he was coming to the palace to take on a mission from the royal family, but what he had originally thought was that having the officials of the palace to receive him would be the end of it.

Who knew that this would bring a famous sixth prince? It seems that this mission is not easy.

The Sixth Prince's expression suddenly changed and became extremely serious. He looked into Xiang Nan's eyes and said, "Before I tell you the mission, I have a very serious question to ask you. You must answer it honestly."

"Excuse me." Xiang Nan said.

The sixth prince leaned forward and said in a deep voice, "Xiang Nan, can I trust you?"

At that moment, Xiang Nan suddenly felt as if he had been thoroughly seen through by the Sixth Prince. This was an indescribable feeling.

It was as if a person's gaze had drilled into your bones, into the depths of your soul, digging into your truest thoughts.

Xiang Nan had never experienced such a feeling from anyone, not even the sect master of the The Profound Sky Sect in his previous life.

Xiang Nan knew how important the word trust was to the members of the royal family.

How many palaces were cheating, and how many princes were fighting between themselves? They were all saying the word "trust". How important was it in the royal family.

When Xiang Nan talked to the Sixth Prince, he was extra careful. He didn't know if the trust the Sixth Prince was talking about meant that he could be loyal to the Haotian Imperial Clan, or if he could be loyal to the Sixth Prince himself.

"Sure. As a disciple of the Nature's Nature Sect, I will naturally do my duty as a subject to the The Haotian Empire ." Xiang Nan's answer was also very clever.

Such ambiguity is not smart in politics. If you don't take a stand, you are courting death.

But Xiang Nan had never thought of going into politics, nor did he intend to have too many close disputes with the royal family, so it didn't matter.

The Sixth Prince nodded and did not comment on Xiang Nan's words.

He took out the letter and said, "Elder Shi Beihong has already introduced you to me. Let's talk about your mission now."

"You know, the Heavenly Profound Sect and the Flying Cloud Sect are very powerful in the The Nine Firmaments Continent , which puts a lot of pressure on Jiuxiao Empire."

"Just a few months ago, the The Nine Firmaments Empire sent out an envoy to convey to me Haotian the intention to cooperate secretly."

"This is a good thing." Xiang Nan said.

"Indeed." The Sixth Prince said, "With our help, Jiuxiao Empire can relieve the pressure brought by some sects, and our The Haotian Empire can also benefit a lot from it. Of course, this is not something you should care about."

"In order to express our sincerity, we are preparing to escort the Ninth Princess to the Jiuxiao Empire Imperial Clan. If we can get married, that would be the best. If not, it would at least show our stance."

"But for some reason, the The Profound Sky Sect has found out about this matter. They will definitely secretly obstruct it."

"So your mission is to escort the Ninth Princess to the The Nine Firmaments Empire safely."

Hearing this, Xiang Nan's heart was very heavy. If it was any other mission, then forget it, but … Ninth Princess! If something unexpected happened to the Ninth Princess, even the Haoran Sect would be implicated.

"I didn't get it." Xiang Nan muttered, "Since it's such an important matter, why do you need a small Origin Realm martial artist like me to escort you? Isn't it better to find some high realm martial artists?"

The Sixth Prince smiled and said, "Do you think we don't have one?"

"For the first time, we sent five Heaven Scryer realm martial artists to escort the Ninth Princess to the The Nine Firmaments Continent ."

"The second time, five Fortune Realm martial artists were dispatched to undertake this mission."

"But on both occasions, they were intercepted and killed by the people of the The Profound Sky Sect and the Flying Cloud Sect. It was they who desperately protected the princess and sent her back."

"You know." The Sixth Prince crossed his hands and said seriously, "The higher a martial artist's cultivation, the easier it is to become a target, and the easier it is to be discovered."

"After two failures, we understand that having a high-level martial artist escort the princess will become a living target for the The Profound Sky Sect ."

"As for low-level martial artists like you, your success rate will increase instead."

"The enemies in the Origin Realm are always at the Origin Realm, and those in the Heaven Scryer Realm are mostly at the Heaven Scryer Realm. I understand this logic." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Then, can I reject this mission?" Xiang Nan asked.

The Sixth Prince smiled calmly and said, "You already know about this mission. Do you know who can not reveal their secrets?"

Xiang Nan sighed helplessly and said, "What should I do?"

Obviously, only the dead can keep a secret.

It's easy to get on the ship, but hard to get off.

The Sixth Prince said, "In order to hide the truth, the Ninth Princess has not lived in the Imperial Palace since two months ago."

"Later, I will send someone to bring you to see her. You must remember two things."

"First, from now on, the Ninth Princess is your immediate superior. Her words are orders."

"Second, your identity is too special. From now on, you are not Xiang Nan. Instead, you are a teacher who specializes in teaching princess knowledge. To put it bluntly, you should call yourself Young Master. To put it bluntly, you are a teacher."

"Originally, it was unwise to use you to protect us. We were worried that because of your personal grudge with the The Profound Sky Sect , you would be implicated in the princess."

"But based on your strength, we are still willing to take this risk."

"Disciple understands." Xiang Nan nodded.

Young Master is a very big official position. On top of that, there are Grand Master, Grand Tutor, Grand Protector, Young Master, and Young Master, as well as Young Master.

Of course, this Young Master was a temporary position given to Xiang Nan by the Sixth Prince to conceal his identity.

"Then" Xiang Nan hesitated for a moment. This time, he came mainly for the Haoran Fire Lake.

The Sixth Prince said, "I know, you want to enter the Nature Fire Lake."

"The golden body you brought back is very important, but after all, this plan hasn't started yet. I can't give you a reward in advance."

"Originally, I was planning to let you escort the princess successfully. After returning, I will reward you to enter the Fire Lake to cultivate."

"But considering that improving your strength is the key to success in this trip, I can let you enter early to cultivate."

"That same sentence. I hope what I've done is worth it. Xiang Nan, can I trust you?"

Xiang Nan immediately stood up and bowed, "Please rest assured, the sixth prince, Xiang Nan will go through fire and water and die."

The sixth prince stood up and patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder. "The reason I trust you now is because of Caiyue."

"But I hope that you can prove to me with your own actions that I didn't trust the wrong person."

"Alright, there's already someone waiting for you outside. Follow him to contact the Ninth Princess."

"The Ninth Princess will arrange everything for you."
