Murim's Weakest Princess

Although it has been many years since Yan Ping lost her sight, she could still navigate her way around with her second sight. Not many cultivators actively use this skill because it requires a lot of mental focus and is difficult to maintain over a long time. Thankfully, the Mystical Qilin sect prefers to train the mind over the body. With more than a hundred years of meditation under her belt, activating her second sight became as natural as breathing.

Little did Yan Ping know that a meeting with the youngest princess of the Celestial Dragon sect was about to unveil a secret that would shake the very foundations of her world.

"Anji greets Elder," the three-year-old princess hopped off her stool when she saw the lady dressed in all white arriving. According to her mother, this lady was the important sect leader of the Mystical Qilin sect, who expressed an interest in taking her under her wing as a teacher. Her father was reluctant to send her to the secluded Qilin Mountain, but Anji was secretly thrilled. All her life, she thought she would never have the chance to learn how to cultivate. She wasn't even allowed to learn basic martial arts because her body was weak. With such an overprotective family, Anji spent all her life polishing her wits in the library instead. Hearing that she had an opportunity to learn something more, Anji immediately pounced on the chance. She had to make a favourable first impression and win her teacher over!

Slightly startled at the sudden greeting, Yan Ping missed a step. However, she quickly recovered with the support of her staff. Unlike other things like grass, flowers, and even rocks, which contained weak forms of life energy that she could see with her second vision, this child was completely invisible.

"Is this Zhao Anji?" the prophet asked carefully, expanding her second sight to test if there was even a trace of life energy coming from her tentative student. She knew how Mingfeng sealed the cultivation core away. However, she had no idea what type of seal he used. It was as if the doting father had poured all his energy into twisting the tap so tightly that it would never open again. Normally, that would stop the leak. However, in Anji's case, it would only cause problems in the future. Even if the water stopped leaking, the pressure built up in the pipes would eventually cause the pipes to burst even if the tap was tightly shut.

Behind her daughter, Zhao Wanting greeted the respected prophet and introduced her youngest daughter. With the veil hiding her expression, nobody knew what Yan Ping was thinking. Nervously, she glanced at Anji, hinting that her daughter should behave properly in this meeting.

Anji was bright for her age. She understood her mother's intention and quickly pulled out a stool, offering her teacher a seat.

Still unable to sense any life energy coming from the little girl, Yan Ping decided to take a sit first. She did not want to walk into the little girl accidentally. It was the first time since losing her sight that Yan Ping felt blind.

"I'd like to talk to her alone first," Yan Ping announced, turning her head slightly towards Mingfeng. "Could you give us some space?"
