Chapter 473: The King Returns!
From start to end, Chu Liuyue had been very polite and didn’t even say any offensive words. But the others had clearly included her in the debt and planned to take revenge on her.
There is no use for further explanations. Besides, I’m too lazy to tell them anything. Since the other party wants to take care of me, I have to face it and accept it bravely.
But to Zhao Yunzhi, this reaction made Chu Liuyue seem arrogant. Isn’t she just doing this because that man’s capabilities are better? But when she reaches Xi Ling, this man definitely won’t protect her at every moment. At that point, I must return all the humiliation and grievances we suffered today.
Jian Fengchi stepped onto the transportation formation, and he paused when he walked past Chen Xiyuan.
Chen Xiyuan instinctively shrunk himself.
Jian Fengchi glanced at him and lightly laughed. “The people in the Sky-Soaring Clan… One generation is worse than the previous.”
Chen Xiyuan’s face flushed red, and he wanted to say something, but he had to swallow his words when he thought of that man’s terrifying aura.
Chu Liuyue followed him.
Jian Fengchi activated the transportation formation, and the duo’s figures disappeared very quickly.
After confirming that the two people had left, Chen Xiyuan then forcefully stood up with Zhao Yunzhi’s help.
“Cousin… It’s all my fault. If I wasn’t rus.h.i.+ng the whole time, all of this wouldn’t happen, and they wouldn’t deal with you so severely.” Zhao Yunzhi was on the verge of tears.
Chen Xiyuan swallowed the blood in his mouth, stared at the transportation formation, and said carefully, “It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge! When I find out his ident.i.ty… I’ll show him who’s boss! We, the Sky-Soaring Clan, aren’t that easily bullied!”
…
Both Jian Fengchi and Chu Liuyue didn’t even care about this small matter.
After the duo entered the transportation formation, the whole way was smooth. As this transportation formation was of high level, it was very fast.
Even though Bei Jiang and Xi Ling were very far away, it didn’t take too much time. But to Chu Liuyue, every second and minute as they approached Xi Ling was especially long.
Coincidentally, the surroundings were pitch black, so Jian Fengchi couldn’t see her expression.
“When we reach Xi Ling, I’ll send you to Mu Qinghe first,” said Jian Fengchi slowly.
Chu Liuyue was suddenly awakened and acknowledged his words. After pausing for a while, she finally couldn’t help but ask, “It seems like there are quite a few Dijing Yuan meridian cultivators coming from outside Heaven’s Canopy.”
This was quite weird. The Tianling Dynasty didn’t lack such talents, so it was weird that they spent so much effort and manpower to look for them outside Heaven’s Canopy.
Jian Fengchi laughed lightly with a tinge of displeasure. “They’re always doing something messy. Who knows what they’re planning this time?”
Chu Liuyue’s heart harshly skipped a beat, and she tentatively asked softly, “…They?”
She originally thought that Jian Fengchi wouldn’t answer, but he was rather honest this time. “The Tianling Dynasty’s current Third Princess and her husband.”
Shangguan Wan and Jiang Yucheng—it really is them! Chu Liuyue was more grateful than ever that they were in the tunnel, so Jian Fengchi couldn’t see her expression.
Hearing that Chu Liuyue didn’t speak, Jian Fengchi explained again, “Oh, the Third Princess’s current ident.i.ty is equivalent to the person in control of the entire Tianling Dynasty. You will know when you reach Xi Ling.”
He didn’t say this earlier because he was unfamiliar with Chu Liuyue, and they were at Country Yao Chen. But now, she was going to reach Xi Ling very soon. Even if he didn’t say it, she could find out about this from someone else.
In addition, the duo had spent some time together, and he did admire Chu Liuyue quite a bit. Thus, he took the initiative to talk more.
An idea popped up in Chu Liuyue’s mind. She restrained her emotions and asked in slight shock, “What does that mean? Does the Tianling Dynasty not have…”
“His Majesty is severely ill, and he’s stuck in bed. Hence, many things have been given to the Third Princess to handle.” Jian Fengchi spoke lightly, but his tone was filled with disdain and contempt.
Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly. Father is actually alive?! I thought that Shangguan Wan and Jiang Yucheng would definitely not let Father off after I committed suicide back then. I didn’t expect them not to completely take action after so long.
She hesitated for a moment before lightening up her voice and asked, “Young Master Jian seems to… Toward this Third Princess…”
Disdain? Contemp? Hatred?
Chu Liuyue didn’t finish her question.
But Jian Fengchi suddenly laughed. “Did anyone tell you that your wits are quite annoying sometimes? You’re especially like—”
Jian Fengchi suddenly stopped in his sentence.
Chu Liuyue coughed.
“They’re all matters of the past, and we don’t have to talk about it, but your guess isn’t wrong.”
He did hate Shangguan Wan.
Chu Liuyue blinked in curiosity. From what I know, Jian Fengchi had a rather good impression of Shangguan Wan. He had once caused trouble for me because of Shangguan Wan. Of course, I didn’t realize that Shangguan Wan did it on purpose back then and felt that Jian Fengchi had gone crazy. Hence, we quarreled. I didn’t expect his att.i.tude toward Shangguan Wan to have such a drastic change.
Chu Liuyue was planning to ask more and find out Shangguan Wan and Jiang Yucheng’s motives for doing this when the s.p.a.ce in front suddenly lit up.
She clenched her fists tightly. We’re here!
“Let’s go!” Jian Fengchi walked out first.
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and quickly followed him, taking a step out.
The skies and ground changed, and the darkness faded away as the bright sunlight shone in.
But this time, Chu Liuyue didn’t use her hands to cover her eyes. She opened her eyes and looked in front determinedly.
The large and majestic Xi Ling City was like the head of a ferocious fiend. It stood in between heaven and earth, looking solemn and grand.
The sunlight shone harshly and made her eyes hurt to the point that a few tears dropped out.
Xi Ling! I’m finally back!
