Chapter 1600: Explanation of the Little Princess Incident

The chapter released yesterday caused a major stir among readers. In less than a day, a 2,000-member group was almost full, and many readers left comments in the review section, accusing me of writing carelessly. They questioned how Luo Qiqi could be the Little Princess, claiming there were no prior indications.

To prove that I am not writing carelessly, you can follow my official WeChat account by searching for "横扫天涯" (Heng Sao Tian Ya). In the historical messages, you'll find a major spoiler posted on March 23rd, which detailed the next few volumes and explicitly mentioned that this current volume would involve Zhang Xuan rejecting a marriage proposal.

Some readers had already guessed this several months ago and even posted about it. If you're looking for these discussions, you can join the group chat at 815276127, where many insightful readers have already discovered and predicted this development.

I've left many clues and instances of foreshadowing throughout the story. For those who doubt, you can review the previous chapters to verify them:

1. When Luo Ruoxi was identified as the Little Princess of the Luo Clan in Qiuwu Palace, it was based on others' speculation. Luo Ruoxi herself never stated it, nor did Zhang Xuan ever personally confirm it with her.2. Luo Ruoxi once explicitly stated that she was not a member of the Luo Clan.3. After Zhang Xuan accepted the "false premise" that Luo Ruoxi was the Little Princess, her name, Luo Ruoxi, was never mentioned again throughout the story; she was always referred to as 'Little Princess.' Similarly, Luo Xuanqing always called her 'younger sister' but never used her name.4. Luo Xuanqing once mentioned that he had five elder brothers, all of whom had died. The fact that the Little Princess is ranked seventh is a significant piece of foreshadowing.5. Luo Xuanqing once stated that his younger sister was not skilled in alchemy.6. Right after Luo Qiqi departed from Qingyuan City, Luo Chengxin immediately came to cause trouble for Zhang Xuan.7. It was unusual that Yu Fei'er, a close friend of Luo Qiqi, received recognition from a 9-star Master Teacher.8. Yu Fei'er was extremely shocked upon realizing Zhang Xuan was the young genius. Her reaction, "He's the Zhang Clan's young genius, doesn't that mean...", indicates that she already knew she had received a favor from Luo Qiqi. Furthermore, Zhang Xuan had previously told Yu Fei'er that he was fond of the Luo Clan's Little Princess.9. The Little Princess of the Saint Son Hall had been absent for eight or nine months. During this period, Luo Qiqi advanced to a 5-star Master Teacher and became a second-year student at Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, which is not contradictory.10. In Qiuwu Palace, Luo Ruoxi did not use the Stillness Orb; she merely utilized spatial power. Many individuals who have reached the Grand Cosmos realm can use spatial power, so this detail proves nothing specific.11. Luo Ruoxi possesses an indifferent personality; when Master Teachers died in Qiuwu Palace, she remained passive and only intervened to save Zhang Xuan. In contrast, the Little Princess is thoughtful and even implored her brother to protect Zhang Xuan. Their personalities are distinctly different.12. Before her wedding, the Little Princess was filled with anxiety and apprehension. The original text describes her asking, "By the way... did you inquire about what I asked? Master Zhang, he... arrived yesterday; did he say anything?" A nervous Little Princess looks up. A maid is about to answer when footsteps and a cheerful laugh are heard. "No need to ask them, I've already inquired for you!" Luo Xuanqing then tells his sister, "I saw that fellow yesterday. When he heard about you, he was incredibly excited and insisted on coming over. If I hadn't held him back, he definitely would have rushed over!" The Little Princess blushes and asks, "He... was incredibly excited? Brother, don't tease me! Are you sure you made it clear to him that it was me?" If she were Luo Ruoxi, given their established romantic relationship, she would not have had these concerns. Such thoughts would only arise if she were Luo Qiqi, who had previously faced rejection.13. Regarding why the Stillness Orb sealed part of her memory, making Qiqi initially seem inconsistent with her identity: this is a major foreshadowing connected to a significant plot point later in the story, which I cannot reveal at this time. The reason the Library of Heaven's Path could not see through it is similar.14. When Zhang Xuan and Luo Xuanqing were searching for the Hollow Gourd, it was stated that the Little Princess had deduced its location from a map. At that time, Zhang Xuan noted to himself that this ability to deduce information purely from maps bore a resemblance to Luo Qiqi's.15. Before leaving Qingyuan City, Luo Qiqi mentioned her fondness for sitting on rooftops, stating, "When I was little, what I loved to do most in my free time was to sit on the rooftop and watch the sunrise, sunset, and birds flying around... I felt so happy." Separately, Luo Xuanqing once remarked about his younger sister, "Because of her genius halo, my younger sister never had many friends growing up... Although everyone in the clan respected her and dared not refute her, in reality, it was equivalent to isolating her... Every night, you could see her sitting alone on the rooftop, looking at the stars, with an unspeakable loneliness." Both descriptions point to a shared solitary habit.

That concludes the current list; there are still many other clues, some of which I've even forgotten myself!

If you're still skeptical, you can refer to my outline. I genuinely work with a comprehensive outline.

Regarding Luo Ruoxi's true identity, please refrain from premature speculation. It will be unveiled layer by layer in subsequent chapters, and the revelations may very well surprise you even further. Furthermore, when I concluded the volume featuring Confucius's advice, I mentioned that it contained extensive connections and numerous foreshadowing elements. The revelation about the Little Princess is merely one example. There are at least three other major instances of foreshadowing—truly significant ones, even more impactful than Luo Qiqi being the Little Princess—that no one has discovered yet. I encourage everyone to look closely for them.
