Chapter 689 - Who are you?

Edited by Ea and Bree

Longyao Lingheng reported he had three people going to the Dragon Tomb Holy Land with him. One of them was his master Yuquan, who was half a step into the Grandmaster Stage. He was a miscellaneous scholar, who knew everything and cultivated anything. He really was something, to cultivate all those miscellaneous paths to the Major Perfection Stage, and he was also a strange man who was quite famous in the Nine Lands.

For the other two, one of them was a famous priest of the tiger clan in the Fu family. He was qualified to select the Beast Emperor in the tiger clan. It was said that the Beast Emperor of this generation was selected by his own hands from hundreds of young tigers, but why he had such a good relationship with Longyao Lingheng was unknown.

There was another one whose name was Lord Yuxu.

Where did Lord Yuxu come from? Only Yuquan could give an account, saying that he met him when he was traveling outside. As for his cultivation, it was at Earth Realm’s Major Perfection Stage. Yuquan didn’t even know his age, but somehow, Yuquan used his identity as a guest of the Longyao family for hundreds of years to vouch for him. He even vowed that he would certainly be able to help the true dragon prince in ascending the throne.

Yan Tianhen also asked Lin Xuanzhi about the origin of this Lord Yuxu. However, not even Reincarnation Palace could find any news about this person. He was just like a powerhouse that appeared out of thin air.

Hai Kuanglang said, “I found out that even Longyao Lingheng doesn’t know the identity of Lord Yuxu. This Lord Yuxu never took off his mask, not even when he slept or took a bath, but he especially liked to bathe in hot springs. Someone once saw that there was an unknown flower on his back, which was brilliant red. It ran across his entire back. I wonder if Huarong Sword Venerable had ever seen a similar symbol?”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “It’s just a red flower. How can I judge?”

Hai Kuanglang smiled falsely. “Isn’t Huarong Sword Venerable knowledgeable?”

“It’s impossible to make a judgment out of nothing.”

Zhan Fengting said, “The person who saw the flower wasn’t good at painting or describing. After a long time, I never figured out what the so-called ‘slender and thin petals that look very flirtatious and seductive’ meant. But this is merely secondary. I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. This Lord Yuxu was able to inspire flowers to bloom and change seasons.”

It was now the early winter in the North Land.

Although the first snow of this year had not yet fallen, however, the bitter north wind had suddenly arrived, and all the leaves of thousands of trees withered. Even for the plant spirits who were hundreds of years or even thousands of years old, most of them let the old leaves fall, and concentrated the spiritual Qi in the root system, so that they could wait for the next spring to stretch new shoots. It was a scene of devastation.

“It was very cold. After taking a bath, Lord Yuxu got up in his clothes and stepped on the pebble path. As soon as he was ready to leave, he looked at the withered dead branches and sighed that it would be too long if he waited for the next spring, so it would be better to get a bonus every day and be green every year. After listening to him, all the flowers and trees around the entire hot spring grew into new buds, stretched young leaves, and quickly swelled. Later, when the servant saw the red flowers behind him, Lord Yuxu suddenly turned his head back and leaned against the pool. He said, ‘Tell your master to act openly and honestly, why act like a thief? If he wants to know anything, let him come to me in person.’”

Therefore, Zhan Fengting had to clean up after Hai Kuanglang, who sure knew how to stir up trouble, and decided to pay a personal visit to this mysterious Lord Yuxu and make amends.

After all, no matter what, Hai Kuanglang’s behavior was not gentlemanly at all. It was really too much to watch others take a bath. When Zhan Fengting went, he saw the scene described before.

Yan Tianhen raised his eyebrows and said in amazement, “Being able to control flowers and plants, ignoring the rules of the four seasons... This is really a strange man. It seems that his cultivation must be above the Major Perfection Stage.”

Lin Xuanzhi lowered his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow. His fingers moved slightly. “It is indeed a strange man.”

Yan Tianhen replied, “It’s amazing that someone doesn’t even remove a mask when taking a bath. Is it because he is ugly, so he doesn’t dare to see anyone?”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “It’s also possible that he’s afraid of people recognizing him.”

“So he has a story behind him.” Yan Tianhen said, “Why don’t we go and meet him? Whether it is a mule or a horse, you can know which at a glance.”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “All right.”

Yan Tianhen said, “I’ll go. You’re already a Grandmaster. Wouldn’t it be too embarrassing to visit him in person?”

Lin Xuanzhi glanced at Yan Tianhen. “There are many Grandmasters, but there is only one Second Heir to the Qianyuan Dynasty.”

Yan Tianhen blinked. “Dage, don’t tell me you forgot your identity?”

Lin Xuanzhi knew that he was talking about being the first heir, but this matter had not been mentioned for a long time, and no one knew what happened. Lin Xuanzhi naturally did not care about it.

Lin Xuanzhi replied, “Let’s go together.”

Yan Tianhen smiled. “That’s better.”

Hai Kuanglang said, “Youngest Martial Brother, I’m afraid you won’t be able to go.”

“Why? Maybe you’re afraid that I’m too handsome, and that person will become envious and bear a grudge against me, so he’ll be even more ruthless against us in the future?”

Hai Kuanglang burst into laughter, and looked at the really handsome face of Yan Tianhen thoughtfully. “I just forgot to tell you that an hour ago, the Longyao clan received the news, saying that His Royal Highness King Ye and his Consort had arrived three hundred miles outside the city. I’m afraid they have already arrived at the Dragon Palace now.”

Yan Tianhen, “...”

Why didn’t you mention such an important thing at the beginning?

Hai Kuanglang really could jinx things. As soon as his voice fell, he saw a young man with silver blue light armor and well-proportioned eyes and a doll-like face coming towards them.

He looked around, then his gaze landed on Yan Tianhen, and said with a smile, “This subordinate, Zhuo Yan, greets His Highness the Prince. Your Highness, the Lord wants to meet you in the front hall.”

Yan Tianhen, “...”

Zhuo Yan was the top-ranked fierce general under Yan Zhonghua. He looked very fragile, but in fact, he could fight with a pair of meteor hammers which were very powerful. To bring Zhuo Yan in person, it seemed that this trip was inevitable. Yan Tianhen felt a headache.

He looked to Lin Xuanzhi for help.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “I will go with you.”

Zhuo Yan cupped his hands at Lin Xuanzhi, and his baby face smiled naively. “Huarong Sword Venerable, please wait. Before coming, the Royal Consort made a special request to tell me that if Huarong Sword Venerable appeared together with the Prince, he would immediately kidnap the Prince and leave. I ask Huarong Sword Venerable to not embarrass the Prince.”

Yan Tianhen was shocked. “But I have already reported my name as a guest of the Longyao clan. Can my dad still tie me up?”

Zhuo Yan replied, “Prince should understand the Royal Consort’s temper.”

Yan Tianhen, “...”

You Ming really would dare!

After thinking about it, Lin Xuanzhi said, “Not even a poisonous tiger would eat its own children. Go and see your father first. I’ll wait for you outside the hall.”

Yan Tianhen sighed. “Forget it. They must keep a close eye on me these days. Let’s not see each other for the time being. In case it really annoys my dad, he will knock me out and carry me away. I don’t really care about that, but it’ll screw over Hai Shixiong.”

Hai Kuanglang, “...”

Therefore, Yan Tianhen, the little tyrant who was not afraid of heaven or earth, finally succumbed to the authority of You Ming. He obediently clamped his tail between his legs and followed Zhuo Yan to see King Ye and the Royal Consort.

On the way, Yan Tianhen asked tentatively, “Zhuo Yan Gege, didn’t my parents already know about my relationship with Xuanzhi before? Why are they so angry?”

Zhuo Yan said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “If Prince can ask such a question, that means his heart knows the answer.”

Yan Tianhen was silent for a moment before he said, “Does it really have such a big impact?”

Zhuo Yan pretended to sigh, saying, “It’s comforting for Huarong Sword Venerable to tell the world. But recently, the threshold of King Ye’s Palace has been trampled, so it’s very lively. You also know that the relationship between the orthodox Dao and King Ye’s Palace has been bad ever since King Ye married the Royal Consort. Now you have abducted the Light of Daoism... Anyway, you will know when you think about it.”

Yan Tianhen immediately became like a shrinking turtle.

It was one thing to know this, but another thing to experience it. His father also said at that time that it was not yet time for the world to know and told them to keep a low profile, however... things were like this now.

Yan Tianhen couldn’t help thinking: In order to save my life, should I break up with Lin Xuanzhi for the time being to avoid the wind these days, and talk about future plans later?

Yan Tianhen was so worried that his hair was going to fall off.

On the other hand, Lin Xuanzhi decided to visit the mysterious Lord Yuxu alone. After all, Lord Yuxu was a distinguished guest of the Longyao clan, and his place of residence was also Green Tile Dream, with beautiful castles and cloisters.

Lin Xuanzhi walked slowly along the nine turn corridors towards the white jade hot spring pool, which was always warm. It was rumored that if Lord Yuxu was idle, he would soak in the pool. It was unknown whether it was due to chills or cleanliness. Even if winter was approaching, the palace was full of vitality. Duckweed was everywhere, lush with green, and some newly opened and withered plum blossoms had fallen to the middle, but if you look at the branches of plum blossoms, there were still brilliant red berries blooming proudly.

The smoke swirled around, and as he turned a corner, he saw the shadow of a man bathing safely in the depths of the flowers. His long black hair fell in front of his chest. His pale skin was whiter than the white wall. After being soaked in the hot spring, it was still just a faint crimson color.

On the back, there were indeed red petals, extending along the skin. The flower bloomed brilliantly, like the red clouds at dusk.

Thunder hit Lin Xuanzhi’s mind and his eardrums were ringing, even his temples were almost jumping. His eyes stared at the back that could be said to be smooth perfection, but suddenly his footsteps stopped, and he did not dare to take another step forward easily.

Even though there were thousands of kinds of red flowers in the world, he had only ever personally inscribed one flower onto someone else’s skin. That was a red spider lily.

Lin Xuanzhi could hardly believe his eyes.

If the person in front of me is the real Lingyu, then who is Yan Tianhen? Lin Xuanzhi stood, waiting for the man to turn around.

The skin was pale, like a man who couldn’t see the sun all year round. As he wished, the man turned around and looked in the direction of Lin Xuanzhi. His face was covered with a black veil, but his purple eyes made people palpitate. He seemed to smile at Lin Xuanzhi through the black veil. After the black veil waved for a few minutes, the man gently pushed it down by a hand steaming with water vapor.

A pale and flirtatious face appeared in Lin Xuanzhi’s sight.

“Shixiong, long time no see,” the young man with Lingyu’s appearance said.

Lin Xuanzhi took a few steps forward, stared at his purple eyes, and said, “You are not Lingyu. Who are you?”
