As Her Bodyguards, Part I

“Sui Mei Xilan?”

“The Sui Kingdom’s princess?”

“So she’s alive?”

“Where has she been this whole time?”

A ripple spread through the group of cultivators. Wu Jian could hear their murmurs as they stared at Mei Xilan, who withstood their scrutiny with a blank expression.

“I thought she was dead?”

“Who’d have thought the little princess of the Sui Kingdom would still be alive after all this time.”

“Where has she been?”

“Why hasn’t she done anything to help us until now?”

Not everyone was happy to see her, however, and while some people merely expressed surprise, quite a few seemed angry that she had only appeared before them now. It was unreasonable of them. Mei Xilan had been but a child when her family was overthrown and she was forced to flee. She had no power of her own and no one to rely on until she was found by Hua Xue and brought to the Ice Phoenix Sect. There was no way for her to help her people during that time.
