Chapter 755 – Average Relationship?
Today, King Ye set up a private banquet, so there wasn’t too much pomp and circumstance, but in reality, the private banquet was the highest hospitality standard in the Royal Heavenly Capital.
Lin Xuanzhi went to meet with Reincarnation Palace to arrange missions and hadn’t returned yet, so Prince Jinghua and Feng Jiushao’s attention focused on Yan Tianhen.
“It’s said that His Highness Prince Ye also cultivated evil Qi. Is there a story behind it?” Prince Jinghua asked.
Yan Tianhen looked calm as he replied, “It was definitely an accident. When I went to the Tomb of Youshan, I was forced to become a half evil Qi cultivator. However, I also cultivated spiritual Qi and Demonic Qi at the same time, so I’m not a pure evil Qi cultivator.”
Feng Jiushao raised a slender eyebrow slightly. “Then Prince is really incredible. You can be called invincible among those with the same cultivation level.”
Yan Tianhen’s heart burst with joy. The apprehension from earlier also disappeared subconsciously during the chat. He grinned and said modestly, “I’m just average. Although I’ve basically never met an enemy who was a match for me, who knows? Someone like that just might exist.”
Duan Yuyang: “....”
You are so modest.
You Ming curled his lips. “What plans do the two of you have?”
Prince Jinghua replied, “The current situation in the West Land doesn’t seem very good.”
Yan Tianhen nodded and hurriedly added fuel to the fire as he recounted to these two West Land powerhouses how the Yue clan attempted to occupy Wutong Mountain and drive the phoenix clan out of the West Land.
Finally, he said indignantly, “Are the Yue family even human? Taking advantage of Maomao’s resurrection and absence, they rebelled and caused chaos, and even colluded with outside clans. Fortunately, there are still a few clear-headed people in the Fu family, or else the West Land would’ve been more chaotic.”
Feng Jiushao was a man of few words, but when he heard this, he snorted coldly and placed the cup down on the stone table. “The Yue family has always resisted my phoenix clan’s rule. They merely took advantage of an opportunity this time. However, this Venerable has never placed the Yue family in my eyes — it’s just that things have been hard for Maomao.”
Prince Jinghua’s lips twitched. “Our son’s name is Feng Jingyu, not Maomao.”
Yan Tianhen blinked a few times. “Maomao is his nickname, and he rather likes it.”
Prince Jinghua showed a melancholy color on his eyes. “I don’t know if our son will blame us.”
Yan Tianhen reassured, “Don’t worry, he certainly won’t blame Emperor. After all, Emperor died for the safety of the Nine Lands. Maomao can understand. ”
Prince Jinghua’s eyes lit up.“But as for Prince Jinghua, I don’t know whether or not Maomao will blame you.” Yan Tianhen blinked with a shrug. “You’ll have to ask him yourself.”
Uglcmf Alcutej: “...”
That hurts.
In the moonlight, a man with white clothes and black hair drifted in. His appearance was impeccable, elegant, and handsome. He felt like an immortal, which made people forget the mortal world once they saw him.
Prince Jinghua seemed to have seen a ghost. He suddenly stood up with an expression full of disbelief and stared at Lin Xuanzhi’s familiar face and familiar aura.
Even Feng Jiushao couldn’t help but gasp and ask suspiciously, “Chang Sheng?”
Duan Yuyang gave the despairing Yan Tianhen an expression that said, ‘My hands are tied’. It couldn’t be helped. Chang Sheng’s appearance was too obvious. No matter how much he reincarnated, people could still easily recognize him at a glance.
Lin Xuanzhi walked up the steps and came to the pavilion. First, he politely bowed to King Ye and You Ming, and then said to Prince Jinghua and Feng Jiushao, “I haven’t seen the two of you for a long time. How have you been?”
Prince Jinghua was stunned for a while, then replied, “Not bad.”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “That’s good to hear.”
After speaking, he sat beside Yan Tianhen.
Feng Jiushao’s eyes showed a thoughtful look.
After a while, Prince Jinghua realized something, and his expression suddenly became a little ugly.
Yan Tianhen was sitting on pins and needles, and he constantly wanted to scoot closer to Lin Xuanzhi.
Prince Jinghua stared at Yan Tianhen for a while, then smiled slightly. “It’s rare to see so many old acquaintances. I really want to drink a few more cups.”
Yan Tianhen laughed twice and said, “Okay, more wine.”
You Ming calmly watched their barbed conversation and didn’t expose them. He just acted like he didn’t see anything.
After the banquet, You Ming asked Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi to send the guests away. Yan Tianhen could only follow Lin Xuanzhi and send the group of people to the door. On the way, Yan Tianhen leaned towards Duan Yuyang and whispered something.
When they were close to the gate of the palace, only then did he hear the voice of Prince Jinghua, “Don’t we still have some debts that we’ve yet to settle? We might as well settle it now.”
Yan Tianhen’s heart thumped. Here it comes.
Yan Tianhen looked up and innocently stared at Prince Jinghua, who was standing in front of him like a specter. “What debts do I have with you? Do we... know each other?”
Prince Jinghua coldly hooked his lips. “Although I couldn’t see through your identity at the beginning, if Huarong Sword Venerable is Chang Sheng, then you must be Youshan Lingyu.”
This time, not only Yan Tianhen, but also Duan Yuyang was surprised.
Duan Yuyang asked, “What does Chang Sheng have to do with this?”
Prince Jinghua said, “Youshan Lingyu is Chang Sheng’s lover. Don’t tell me you’re going to pretend you don’t know this? Since when has Chang Sheng ever been so attentive to anyone besides Youshan Lingyu, that little hussy?”
Duan Yuyang: “....”
Yan Tianhen’s eyes suddenly lit up. He was originally very nervous, but he had an impulse to smile at this time. So he curled his mouth, stepped forward and said, “Prince Jinghua, I was wrong in the past, but I’ve already changed. I hope you can let me go for the sake of my good relationship with Maomao.”
“Ha...” Prince Jinghua said coldly, “You didn’t have this attitude when you took advantage of my family’s Emperor back then.”
“Take advantage?” Lin Xuanzhi caught the key words and turned to look at Yan Tianhen.
Yan Tianhen immediately tucked his tail between his legs. “I’m innocent!”
Feng Jiushao rolled his eyes at Yan Tianhen. “If you’re innocent, then why is this Venerable still missing two tail feathers, even to this day? Towards this Venerable, you’ve always started things foolishly and abandoned it halfway, but forget it. This Venerable won’t settle the debts with you today, but I will certainly repay you in the future!”
After that, Feng Jiushao pulled Prince Jinghua away. “It’s late at night now. It’s not suitable to show your anger now. Besides, this is King Ye’s territory. When he goes to the West Land in the future, I will definitely let you vent your anger.”
Yan Tianhen: “...”
Very good, I will never step into the West Land again in my life.
“Also, what do you mean by abandoning things halfway? Come back and tell me clearly!”
Prince Jinghua glared at Yan Tianhen fiercely, raised his middle finger at him, then turned around and left with Feng Jiushao.
Duan Yuyang laughed gleefully and patted Yan Tianhen’s shoulder. “You really were incredible. You even dared to pluck Feng Jiushao’s tail feathers. Don’t you know that phoenixes use their tail feathers for courtship and mating?”
Yan Tianhen’s forehead was full of cold sweat. “Shut up. Are you on my side or not?”
“Ah wait, that’s not right. It seems that Feng Jiushao voluntarily gave you his tail feathers as a gift. I remember there was a time when you were hanging out with Feng Jiushao all day. Were you two dating?” Duan Yuyang seemed to have thought of something.
Yan Tianhen repeatedly denied, “I didn’t, I’m not. I don’t know him at all!”
Duan Yuyang looked at Lin Xuanzhi’s expression, cleared his throat, and said, “Well, my baby is at home alone, so Tianwen and I will go back first. By the way, is the rest of Cang Rong’s soul still in your hands?”
Yan Tianhen said angrily, “I already threw it away; I can’t find it anymore!”
Duan Yuyang was unconcerned. He smiled and stroked Yan Tianhen’s head. “Good boy, watch it well. I’ll ask for it again in the future.”
Yuan Tianhen glanced at him and said nothing.
Duan Yuyang had told him everything that happened during the Spirit Sect period. Although Yuan Tianwen found it hard to believe that he was Cang Rong, he still accepted it calmly.
However, since Duan Yuyang wanted to play, then he would play with him.
After Duan Yuyang finished screwing Yan Tianhen over, he took Yuan Tianwen back to nurse the child.
The moonlight was desolate and the cold wind was fierce.
“Dage, I really didn’t intend to enter a courtship with him. I just pulled out two of his tail feathers in passing to refine magic tools. There’s no other meaning.”
“Aiya. Prince Jinghua just misunderstood me. Feng Jiushao is really not my type.”
“Okay, fine. Although I took two of his tail feathers, I really didn’t date him.”
“...Alright, alright. We were together for a while, but that’s all in the past, and we broke up in less than ten days. It’s really nothing at all, right?”
Lin Xuanzhi finally opened his mouth. He said coldly, “Were together for a while. Heh, I never knew that your relationship with Feng Jiushao was actually so good.”
Yan Tianhen pretended to be calm. “In fact, our relationship is just average.”
Lin Xuanzhi smiled. “Your relationship was average, but he could still stand on your side when you cultivated evil Qi and fight the entire world for you?”
Lin Xuanzhi raised one eyebrow and remarked, “Then he let down Prince Jinghua.”
Yan Tianhen sighed slightly. “That was indeed out of morality. Who let Feng Jiushao be the only person who saw through everything back then? Moreover, none of the people who helped me back then met a good end.”
Prince Jinghua took a blow from the Dao of Heaven for Feng Jiushao and entered reincarnation. He had to go through the suffering of 81 lifetimes in order to remember what happened in his first life, finally becoming a true cultivator and evening the endless cycle of suffering.
He and Feng Jiushao were always on the road of looking for each other. First, Feng Jiushao looked for him for ten thousand years, and then he looked for Feng Jiushao for thousands of years. They just barely missed each other many times and really went through too much suffering.
Lin Xuanzhi took a tough attitude and said, “In short, in the future, you should stay away from Feng Jiushao.”
Yan Tianhen still had some lingering fear in his heart. “That’s for sure. I don’t want to make trouble for myself. Nothing good will happen if Feng Jiushao and I get together.”
He wasn’t actually afraid of Feng Jiushao. Instead, he was afraid of Prince Jinghua finding trouble for him.
