Shi Feng looked towards the Emperor of the Tianlan Empire, the forrly high and mighty emperor now showing such a fatherly face for his daughter, pleading with him.
Then, Shi Feng looked at the beautiful young girl, her incredibly beautiful face full of anticipation waiting for his response. Yet, Shi Feng shook his head and said, "The path ahead of is fraught with dangers you can hardly imagine. One misstep could result in being shattered to pieces, both body and soul obliterated. I really don’t want to see you follow and endure those dangers."
"But... I..." Jin Mo wanted to continue, but Shi Feng imdiately interrupted, "Enough, no more words. You should stay here, remain a princess, and enjoy the prosperity."
After speaking to Jin Mo, Shi Feng turned his head towards Lann Yuan and said, "Young master knows your purpose for this martial competition to seek a suitor, and I, too, wish to enter the Martial Arts Sky Tower. After I erge from there, I will fully commit myself to aiding you."
Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Lann Yuan smiled and said, "Your information is quite accurate. You’ve even grasped the secrets of our royal family."
After saying this, Lann Yuan glanced at his daughter, whose face was filled with disappointnt, and sighed inwardly, "Ah!"
To be honest, Lann Yuan never wanted his daughter to leave him and venture outside with that man, but he also did not want to see his daughter heartbroken.
However, Lann Yuan felt that this was probably the best outco. His daughter was still young and just beginning to experience affection, so it was natural for her to fall for soone. But eventually, not seeing him anymore, she would probably be able to gradually forget him.
Then, Lann Yuan said to Shi Feng, "When my Imperial Uncle arrives, I will take you there shortly." By saying he would take him there, he naturally ant taking Shi Feng to the location of the Martial Arts Sky Tower.
Shi Feng had been thinking about the mysterious Martial Arts Sky Tower that Shi Jinsuai had talked about these past few days. If it was as magical as Shi Jinsuai described, perhaps he could advance to the next stage once he entered!
After Lann Yuan finished speaking to Shi Feng, he looked up at the distant night sky. Logically, by this ti, Prince Guang Lann Guang should have arrived, but he had not shown up.
Could sothing have happened to him?
Lann Yuan thought to himself. Then, an idea ca to him; he muttered to himself, "I heard from the shadow that my Imperial Uncle acquired a beauty today. That old fellow, could he be..."
Just as Lann Yuan reached this thought, the night sky suddenly echoed with a hearty and elderly laugh, "Haha, sorry about that, sorry! Being older, there are more things to handle, sorry for the late arrival."
With this laughter, a golden light appeared in the distant night sky. Prince Guang Lann Guang, transforming into a streak of golden light, was rapidly approaching from that direction.
Through the golden light, Lann Yuan saw Lann Guang’s face flush with vitality, imdiately knowing that the old fellow indeed had only hurried over after finishing his other activities.
Such an important night, and yet he still had the mind for such matters, delaying the ti.
And still claiming his age brought many obligations as an excuse!
The golden light descended, revealing Lann Guang’s golden silhouette. At this mont, Lann Yuan spoke out to Lann Guang, "Imperial Uncle really is vigorous with age, a blade that has not dulled!"
"About that!" Lann Guang, hearing Lann Yuan’s words, wore an embarrassed expression on his face and chuckled, "My dear Imperial Nephew, you misunderstand, there really were so important matters."
Despite his words, Lann Guang’s rosy face had already betrayed him.
Lann Guang saw Jin Mo and started changing the subject. "Oh, is my granddaughter also here tonight? Couldn’t you resist seeing your future husband?"
"Hello, Grand Uncle of the Emperor!" Jin Mo greeted Lann Guang with a slight bow, then pouted, showing a wronged expression. She glanced at Shi Feng and said to Lann Guang,
"Grand Uncle, you’re joking. He isn’t the future husband of mine. With such a genius like him, the Evil Demon Shi Feng that everyone talks about, how could I be worthy of him, and why would he cast a glance at ?"
Hearing Jin Mo’s words, Shi Feng’s face showed a bit of embarrassnt. This girl got angry, showing a bit of temper.
After hearing Jin Mo’s words, Lann Guang, looking at this young woman’s wronged expression, asked with a smile, "What, have you two started arguing so soon? My granddaughter is the most beautiful girl in the Eastern Domain, the Bright Pearl of Tianlan Empire. It should be others who are unworthy of you, not you being unworthy of them!"
"That’s right! It’s just that I’m not good enough for him," Jin Mo said, full of grievance.
After feeling embarrassed for a while, Shi Feng saw that Lann Guang had already co, then said to Lann Yuan and Lann Guang, "Alright, since Old Guang has arrived, you can take there now."
"Old... Old Guang..." Hearing Shi Feng’s address, Lann Guang was taken aback. After all, he was Linglong’s Grand Uncle of the Emperor. You’re not married yet, and even calling Prince Guang would be okay. So why call Old Guang!
Lann Yuan looked at the astonished "Old Guang" and then said to him, "Imperial Uncle, let’s go."
"Uh... alright, okay..." Lann Guang hadn’t fully recovered from his astonishnt and nodded slightly, agreeing.
"Linglong, it’s late, you should go back and rest," Lann Yuan told his daughter in a gentle voice. Having watched his daughter grow up from infancy, Lann Yuan naturally understood her current sorrow.
"Yes! Father Emperor, your daughter bids you farewell," Jin Mo bowed and said. Then she shifted her gaze from her father Lann Yuan to that "heartbreaker," pouting with a cold gaze. She kept staring at the "heartbreaker" and slowly retreated into the darkness.
Shi Feng was well aware of the girl’s resentful eyes toward him, but he had to pretend as if he hadn’t seen it. The path that lay before him was indeed too perilous and dangerous...
Watching his daughter’s silhouette leave and gradually disappear into the dark, Lann Yuan then turned his head to Shi Feng and Prince Guang and said, "Let’s go!"
"Alright," Shi Feng nodded slightly.
"Let’s go!" Lann Guang also nodded and agreed.
Subsequently, Lann Yuan made the first move, leaving the pinnacle of the Imperial Palace and diving toward the lower sections of the palace.
Lann Yuan made his move, and then Shi Feng and Lann Guang also moved, both swiftly diving toward the Imperial Palace below.
At that mont, under the eaves of the Imperial Palace’s pinnacle, a lone, white figure hovered in the night sky. The night breeze blew, causing her white clothes, graceful like a waterfall of black hair, to flutter in the wind.
That exquisitely beautiful fair face looked at the three descending figures, her eyes finally resting on that black figure, and she murmured softly,
"Scoundrel! You scoundrel! You big scoundrel, you stinky Little Shi, stinky Shi! You heartbreaker! I know you’re doing it for my good, not wanting to suffer or face danger with you. But how would you know, it ans nothing to if I can’t be with you!"
(There, finally finished writing! There was a lot going on today, and the update is a bit late! But no matter what, three Chapters a day are still guaranteed, rain or shine, no matter how hard it is!)
