"Hahahaha, my imperial sister, you"re here indeed. Your imperial brother has come to see you. Quick, look. See who I"ve brought you from the palace."Hearing this voice, Cang Yue"s face took on an expression of disgust and anger, but just as quickly as it came, she smoothened out her facial expression to a neutral one before turning around and gazing upon the source of the voice. And there he was, Third Prince Cang Shuo with another person standing right next to him.
"Third Imperial Brother, Young Master Fen, long time no see." Said Cang Yue in an emotionless tone to her brother the Third Prince and the Young Master of the Burning Heaven Clan, Fen Juecheng. The Third Prince was around 27 or 28 years old and Fen Jeucheng himself was younger, at around 22 to 23 years old. Yet he carried himself like he was the most grandiose person in existence, exuding an aura of arrogance that looked down on everyone around him that he hid behind a façade of benevolence.
Coming forward, Fen Juecheng bowed slightly, in his eyes an adoration for Cang Yue that had long since become an obsession that he didn"t even bother to hide, as he spoke to Cang Yue: "Fen Juecheng of the Burning Heaven Clan pays his respects to the beautiful and elegant Princess Cang Yue. I"d heard that Your Highness had returned to the palace nine months ago, but during this period of time, Juecheng has been continually training within the Fierce Sunfire Region, and had only been released two days ago. I hope Your Highness will not blame me."
"Hahahaha," Cang Shuo laughed, "The moment Young Master Fen comes out, he eagerly travels day and night just to rush to meet my imperial sister. This great relationship is really touching and makes one envious." Said Cang Shuo like a true brownnoser.
Cang Yue smiled lightly, and said: "I thank Young Master Fen for your kindness. All is well with me. Young Master Fen need not worry."
Fen Juecheng also smiled faintly, and said in a gentle and straightforward manner: "I"ve heard that Your Highness has been continuously training very diligently. I was worried about you, and I also deeply respect that. Although I wished to see Your Highness a few more times even in my dreams, I thought it would frighten Your Highness so I"ve always been suppressing it in my heart. Now that I"ve finally seen Your Highness, I am unbelievably happy. In these two years, Your Highness has become even more beautiful and elegant that the legendary G.o.ddesses turned mortal cannot even compare. From my point of view, Your Highness" beauty is Blue Wind Imperial Family, no, the entire Blue Wind Empire"s treasure blessed by the heavens themselves."
(A.N.: BLLLLAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!!! ??? That is my reaction just reading and writing down the words of this arrogant squalid f.u.c.k. Who"s with me?)
As he spoke, Fen Juecheng"s adoration and infatuation was revealed completely, he didn"t even bother masking it in the slightest. Yet Princess Cang Yue didn"t react to all of it at all, whether positively or negatively. She just gave him a polite smile and said: "Young Master Fen is mistaken; I am not worthy of such compliments."
"I thank Young Master Fen for his compliments in place of my imperial sister. I also believe that what you said about my imperial sister being our Imperial Family"s treasure is true." Cang Shuo said with a beaming smile. His eyes lit up as they turned and hinted at the attendant behind him. The attendant immediately understood, stepped forward away and pretended to whisper in his ear.
"Oh?" Cang Shuo"s said in fake shock and then said apologetically to Fen Juecheng: "Young Master Fen, I suddenly remembered something that I must take care of immediately, so you"ll have to excuse me… Imperial sister, Young Master Fen hasn"t visited the Imperial Palace for quite a while, why don"t you accompany Young Master Fen on a walk through the palace."
"Please forgive me but I must refuse your offer. Father has requested my presence to discuss important matters. I do not wish to go against Father"s orders so I must go immediately. I hope imperial Brother and Young Master Fen do not take offense. Excuse me." Said Cang Yue, immediately declining Fen Juecheng the opportunity to spend time with her alone. Giving Third Prince Cang Shuo and Fen Juecheng a light nod, she starts walking right out of the Moon Embracing Palace.
Cang Shuo frowned yet Juecheng only smiled calmly. As soon as Cang Yue left his side, he suddenly turned around. "Your Highness, when I came to the Imperial Palace, I heard that Your Highness seems to have been searching for a strange flower called the "Burning Soul Flower". I wonder if Your Highness has found this flower yet? If it has not been found yet, I just happen to know where to find a Burning Soul Flower."
Not only did Fen Juecheng"s presence disturb Cang Yue"s training, it also made her completely uncomfortable and she wanted to leave as soon as possible. But Fen Juecheng"s words caused her to stop in her tracks. She turned around and spoke in a calm voice: "Is Young Master Fen serious? I have indeed been looking for the Burning Soul Flower. If Young Master Fen knows where to find it and is generous enough to tell me, I would be forever grateful."
Fen Juecheng smiled: "Naturally, I will not refuse Princess Cang Yue"s request. I know that this Burning Soul Flower just happens to be in our Burning Heaven Clan"s training grounds —— within the Fierce Sunsky Region."
Cang Yue"s immediately felt the excitement surge into her but managed to suppress it: "Then that"s just wonderful. May I ask if your honorable clan can give our Imperial Family this Burning Soul Flower? No matter the price or conditions."
Fen Juecheng narrowed his eyes he looked over Cang Yue"s body like a predator and said: "Unfortunately, I do not have a say in this matter. In the Fierce Sunsky Region, only one Burning Soul Flower matures once in a millennium. The entire clan all regards it as their most valuable treasure. It is absolutely impossible for it to be given to another, but…"
Fen Juecheng paused, and then smiled giving Cang Yue the creeps: "If this person, who wants the Burning Soul Flower is my clan"s inner member and urgently needs it, with the addition of me, the future Clan Master"s personal plea, I believe that my father and elders would not be that stubborn and inflexible; they would most certainly be accommodating."
While Fen Juecheng"s words sounded gentle and reserved, it was basically extortion. In order for an outsider to become an inner clan member, they would either have to become a disciple or marry into the Burning Heaven Clan.

Cang Yue"s became angry at the subtle meaning of his words but she managed to keep her cool and shook her head and said: "Since the Burning Soul Flower is that precious to your honorable clan, then I shall not make such an unreasonable request. I thank Young Master Fen for his information, farewell."
Can Yue"s rejection of his offer was outside of Fen Juecheng"s expectations. His face stiffened as he watched Cang Yue"s walk away and frowned in frustration as she was gone.
"My sister"s temperament is still as tough as ever." Cang Shuo said as he faced Fen Juecheng.
"It"s tougher than before. When she previously declined me, she was at least being tactful, but now, she"s so unyielding that it"s as if she"s telling me to stop having any delusions." Fen Juecheng said in a mocking to himself as he laughed resentfully.
"Young Master Fen does not need to be so pessimistic. With Young Master Fen"s strength, appearance, and background, how could any of Blue Wind Empire"s young talents compare to you? Cang Yue is still young right now, so she does not notice some things. I believe that it won"t be long before she takes the initiative to throw herself at your feet without you even needing to woo her." After speaking to here, Cang Shuo hesitated, but then continued: "I might know a bit why Cang Yue has suddenly become this resolute."
"Oh?" Fen Juecheng shifted his gaze.
Cang Shuo continued: "From the information that I"ve obtained, Cang Yue has been searching everywhere for the Burning Soul Flower these days. But during her stay here she had been spending a lot of time with a certain person. It has been reported that she and that person became extremely close during those couple of months that he stayed here. But rest a.s.sured Young Master Fen, this person has already disappeared five months ago; he seems to have overestimated himself, entered the Wasteland of Death, and never came back out. After his disappearance, I"ve heard from the palace maids by Cang Yue"s side that she had been continuously training, probably in an attempt to forget about this person."
"What is that person"s name!" Hissed Fen Juecheng through his teeth.
"Uchiha Mesa... he"s still young, and is only 18 years old. However, his innate talent was out of the ordinary so both Cang Lin and I attempted to pull him into our factions."
"Hmph! There actually is another person who intends to dip his finger in the woman that this young master fancies... It"s best if he"s dead, otherwise, I"ll drive him into utter misery that even if he begs for death, I will make sure that he will suffer for an eternity and make him dream of the sweet release of death!" Said Fen Juecheng"s angrily as he unleashed a powerful aura from his body in anger causing Cang Shuo to shake all over. The eyes of the bodyguards on Cang Shuo"s side were even more round as they shivered in fear. Because the profound aura that came from Fen Juecheng"s body... was clearly already at the Earth Profound Realm!
(A.N.: Kind of WAYYYYY!!!! too late if you ask me. Am I right you guys. ?????
Give me a f.u.c.k YOU FEN JUECHENG if you agree with me.)
Cang Yue, who had left the Moon Embracing Palace to get away from Cang Shuo and Fen Juecheng, was still around and listened in on their conversation. Hearing Fen Juecheng declare that he would torment Mesa so much that he would beg for death, gave her a smile on her face. And this time it was a genuine smile, a mocking smile. Even after Fen Juecheng unleashed his Earth Profound Realm aura in anger, Cang Yue was thoroughly unimpressed.
"So you want to torment Mesa so much that he will beg for death. You stupid, arrogant idiot, go right ahead and torment Mesa, you"ll only end up exhausted when you realize that Mesa is a monster that you should never have angered in the first place. And thank you for the information. It is a pity that I was unable to get the Burning Soul Flower for my father, guess I should let Mesa take care of it. And by the way, Mesa dipped more than just his finger in the woman you fancy, arrogant moron that you are." Said Cang Yue in derision of Fen Juecheng"s arrogance and in the delusion that he thought he still had a chance with her or beating Mesa.
(A.N.: YEAH!! YOU GO GIRL!! WOO!!)
