The next day, when Shi Feng visited Yee Wuxie’s residence again, Long Chen was still waiting outside. During the night, Yu Ying had slipped into the next room to catch so sleep, while Long Chen stood outside all night without closing his eyes.
That concerned deanor made Yu Ying feel that the Fourth Prince truly cared about his people. If one day the Fourth Prince were to ascend the Imperial Throne, he would surely be a benevolent ruler, a blessing for the people of the Yunlai Empire.
Seeing Long Chen wide awake despite having not rested all night, Shi Feng said to him, "The Prince is indeed a prince. Your energy surpasses that of ordinary people."
Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Long Chen shook his head and smiled, "Young Master Feng is joking with . How could I possibly sleep at such a critical ti?"
At this mont, Yee Wuxie’s room was filled to the brim with densely packed Primordial Stones of various sizes, obscuring Yee Wuxie from view.
Although Yu Ying was an ordinary person, she was aware of the world of Martial Artists and knew the value of these Primordial Stones. For common folk like them, a single stone could be worth a year’s inco, let alone an entire room full of them.
"His Highness the Fourth Prince is generous. I do not know how I could ever repay him." Such a multitude of Primordial Stones would be impossible for her to repay even with a lifeti of effort.
"Miss Wei, why do you keep treating like an outsider?" Long Chen said sowhat angrily, as if offended by Yu Ying’s detachnt. Yu Ying didn’t understand his intentions; if he could gain the support of a once powerful Martial King Realm Expert like the forr King of the South, Yee Wuxie, what were these Primordial Stones to him?
"The Fourth Prince’s family is wealthy and powerful. Such trinkets an little to him. Don’t worry about it," Shi Feng also added to Yu Ying.
"This guy, when did he learn to joke around?" Long Chen shook his head, speechless.
Suddenly, Shi Feng felt the ground under his feet start to tremble. "Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!" The trembling was most intense from the building in front of them, as dust poured down from the eaves.
"Ah! What’s happening?" Yu Ying cried out, her body swaying back and forth with the shaking ground.
"Steady!" Shi Feng shouted, calling upon the Earth Tunneling ability of the concealed Dark Evil to suppress the trembling ground.
"Bang!" A loud roar erupted from the void, and a beam of black light burst through the roof of the building in front of Shi Feng and the others, scattering fragnts of tiles, and shot straight into the void.
"Hahaha! Hahahaha!" The black light hovered in the void, a thunderous laugh ringing out, sounding like a great bell, causing the surrounding space to buzz, "I! Yee Wuxie! Am back!"
"That’s Grandfather’s voice; I rember it, it’s really Grandfather’s voice. Is that really Grandfather?" Yu Ying stared up at the black light floating in the void, expressing disbelief.
The idea of her own grandfather, who she had lived with for many years, soaring into the sky was akin to a deity for re mortals like her. Yu Ying felt as though she was dreaming.
Following that, the dark light in the Void slowly converged towards the center, revealing the robust figure suspended in the void.
"Grandpa, it really is my grandpa, am I dreaming? How is this possible, how could this be!" Yu Ying was sowhat incoherent, desperately shaking her head to see if she was truly in a dream. Such an event happening right before her eyes was simply too unreal.
At this mont, the elderly man who looked half-dead yesterday had completely transford; his face was now majestic, and the age spots and wrinkles that had covered his face had disappeared as if they had never been there. His previously sallow complexion had now turned rosy, and his skin looked as delicate as that of a baby.
His hair, which had been as white as straw, had also beco smooth and draped over his shoulders, rustling with the wind. The old man took a deep breath of the fresh air in the Void, for him, it felt like coming back to life, which was truly wonderful.
Then, Yee Wuxie looked down at the ground and slowly descended, landing back in the courtyard.
"Grandpa, is it really you?" As soon as Yu Ying saw Yee Wuxie settle down, she ran over. Although it was indeed her grandfather, she was still unsure in her heart.
"Hehe, silly girl." Seeing Yu Ying, Yee Wuxie’s stern face revealed a rare smile. He grasped Yu Ying unexpectedly and placed her on his shoulder, saying, "When you were just this little, Grandpa brought you ho like this. This might be the only kind deed this heartless man has ever done in his life, and I never expected to receive such a great reward. Ying’er, it’s been hard on you these years."
"Grandpa, it really is Grandpa!" Like a little daughter, Yu Ying hugged Yee Wuxie’s head and cried tears of joy. After many years of effort and longing, her grandfather had finally changed from how he used to be.
"Congratulations, Old Duke, on regaining your forr glory." At that mont, Long Chen also stepped forward appropriately to offer his congratulations.
Yee Wuxie frowned slightly and looked at Long Chen, "Who are you? Do you know ?"
"Hehe, It’s not surprising that the Old Duke does not recognize this junior. When I had the fortune to witness the Old Duke’s elegance, I had just learned to walk. My na is Long Chen, and I offer my respects to the Old Duke." Long Chen clasped his hands and gave Yee Wuxie a deep bow.
"Long Chen, surna Long?" Yee Wuxie’s frown deepened.
At this mont, Yee Ying jumped down from Yee Wuxie’s shoulder and said to him, "Grandpa, this is the Fourth Prince of the Yunlai Empire."
"Oh!" Yee Wuxie’s expression cleared, "You are the little Prince who was with His Majesty in the Beast Hunting Garden back then, indeed, we did et once."
"Exactly!" Seeing that Yee Wuxie recognized him, Long Chen nodded and smiled, and then gradually shook his head with a sigh, "Ah... Old Duke, you have suffered much over these years."
"Grandpa, that is Young Master Feng; he is the one who cured your illness," Yu Ying pointed at Shi Feng standing behind Long Chen.
"Young Master Feng? Cured my illness?" Yee Wuxie’s brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again as he followed the direction of Yu Ying’s finger towards Shi Feng. Suddenly, Yee Wuxie startled, his eyes widened, and a strong murderous intent flowed from him.
Seeing Yee Wuxie react this way and sensing the murderous intent emanating from him, Shi Feng’s face also turned cold, and he said icily, "Old man, I saved your life, making you look no longer like a dead dog. Is this how you repay ?"
