Chapter 161 – Ling Yun, Ling Jie

The Soul Burning Flower was a highly poisonous substance that had a magical and terrifying “Soul Separation” effect, and it was also the only thing that Yun Che could think of that could lift the Soul Devouring Same Life Compass. However, the existence of the Soul Burning Flower was extremely rare, and the astonishing degree of its “Soul Leaving” ability was no less than the concealment of the Star Concealment Grass, and the degree of its scarcity was just like that of the Star Concealment Grass. In the entire Tianxuan Continent, there could not be more than ten plants.

“Soul Burning Flower …… Soul Burning Flower ……” Lan Xueruo recited the name several times in a row, memorizing it firmly in her heart. Yun Che’s simple words, “Hard to find in the world”, emphasized how difficult it was to find it, but even if it was difficult, it was also the only hope she suddenly grasped: “I’ll use all the power available to me to immediately go and look for the Soul Burning Flower, I’m in charge of the Cangfeng Empire in the Cangfeng Royal Family, so even if it’s hard to find, I can definitely find it. I will definitely be able to find it.”

Yun Che knew that this would be the result after he said “Soul Burning Flower”, and after hesitating for a while, he still didn’t say anything to stop him. After all, what was at stake was the life of her father, the Emperor of the Cangfeng Empire.

At this time, that middle-aged eunuch hurriedly walked in, bowing his head and saying, “Your Majesty, Princess Cang Yue, the young lord of the Heavenly Sword Villa, Ling Yun, has requested to see him, and is now waiting in the Cang Yun Hall.”

“Oh?” Cang Wan Yu and Lan Xue Ruo were surprised at the same time.

“Heavenly Sword Villa?” Yun Che’s heart stirred……. He had just heard Cang Wansu state the amazing strength and backing of the Heavenly Sword Villa, causing his impression of the Heavenly Sword Villa to change drastically, and at this moment, the sudden arrival of the Heavenly Sword Villa’s people caused his heart to ripple.

“Could it be that they are here to visit Father? Or perhaps …… the actions of the Xiao Sect and the Burning Sky Sect have caused them to make a move?” Lan Xueruo whispered.

“No!” Cang Wan Gul slowly shook his head, “Unless I die, or the Xiao Sect and Burning Sky Sect explicitly interfere with my royal regime, the Heavenly Sword Villa will not make a move. Counting the time, it’s almost time. They should have come here to send an invitation. Yue’er, you go receive them on my behalf. …… Yun Che, you seem to have some interest, if you are interested in the people from the Heavenly Sword Villa, then go with Yue’er.”

Lan Xueruo nodded gently, “Yes, Father. Regarding the matter of Father being compelled by Gu Qiu Hong, should we mention it to the people of the Heavenly Sword Villa?”

Cang Wan Gu was silent, then shook his head, “No! This matter should not be mentioned to anyone, and Gu Qiu Hong’s side should not be alarmed. Even if it is revealed to his face, he must have countless ways to justify himself. Moreover, Gu Qiu Hong’s connections are extremely wide, even the four great sects are extremely willing to sell him favors. Even though I am an emperor, I do not have the capital to tear my face off with him.”

Lan Xueruo nodded bitterly, “I know. After sending away the guests from the Heavenly Sword Villa, I will immediately have someone go over to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce and find the Soul Burning Flower at all costs.”

Yun Che followed Lan Xueruo to the Cang Yun Hall, and in the hall, two people were already waiting there. One appeared to be twenty years old or so, a white suit without any dust, with a handsome appearance, he stood quietly in front of a landscape painting hung in the hall, seemingly tasting the meaning of the painting, the other appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, with an appearance somewhat similar to the older young man, but vaguely saw traces of childishness, also dressed in white, but not as peaceful as the young man, was walking around in the hall, looking around, seemingly interested in everything in the palace, but not as interested in the young man, but not as peaceful as the young man. Seems to be curious about everything in the palace.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the young man’s gaze shifted away from the painting, and seeing that it was Lan Xue Ruo, the surprise in his eyes flickered away, and he arched his hand forward and said, “Heavenly Sword Villa’s Ling Yun, pay my respects to Princess Cang Yue.”

At the same time, his gaze also turned towards Yun Che, smiling politely at him.

As the Heavenly Sword Villa’s Young Lord, Ling Yun’s status was by no means inferior to that of a royal princess, and was even more so. But Yun Che from his body, but did not see half a bit of arrogance and haughtiness, in front of the Cang Yue Princess not only gentleman salute, and even he this Cang Yue Princess rear “inconspicuous” characters are not rude …… and these, or can be said to be deliberate, but Yun Che’s from his eyes also turned to him and smiled politely. However, Yun Che could not see a trace of impurities in his eyes, which were clear and transparent, without any dirt.

This is a true gentleman, by no means is Xiao Maniac Cloud that kind of straw bag …… Yun Che secretly sighed in his heart.

“Big brother Yun.” Lan Xueruo returned the salute with it, smiling elegantly, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, I didn’t expect that this time, it was actually you who personally came.”

Ling Yun smiled, “Two years and six months have passed since I first witnessed Princess Cang Yue’s elegance in the last Cang Feng Ranking Battle. This time, coming to the royal family and being able to witness Princess Cang Yue’s honorable face once again is really Ling Yun’s fortune ……”

Ling Yun is saying, with him the teenager “whoosh” scampered up, staring at the blue snow Ruo exclaimed: “You are the legendary Cang Yue Princess? Wow, wow, wow! Older brother, this princess sister is even more beautiful than you said!”

“Little Jie, do not be rude!” Ling Yun immediately signaled the teenager with his eyes, then said with an apologetic face, “Your Highness, this is my younger brother, Ling Jie, who is just fifteen and a half years old this year, he is young and ignorant, and he seldom leaves the Heavenly Sword Villa, so he doesn’t know much about etiquette, so I hope that the princess won’t take offense.”

Ling Yun’s younger brother …… also means that this teenager is likewise the son of the Lord of the Heavenly Sword Villa. This identity was naturally non-trivial, and just as Lan Xue Ruo was about to speak, Ling Jie had already muttered with great dissatisfaction, “Hey, old brother! I’m almost sixteen years old, I’m already an adult, where is the youthful ignorance! Princess sister was already super good looking, it’s not like I’m wrong.”

Lan Xue Ruo couldn’t help but smile, half flirtingly saying, “Little brother Ling Jie, sister thanks you for the compliment, you’ve also grown up to be very cute. When you grow up, you will definitely be very appealing to your little sister.”

Lan Xue Ruo’s speech was already gentle as water, coupled with her stunningly beautiful appearance that was enough to capture the hearts of all sorts of “little brothers” in an instant. Ling Jie had been practicing hard at the Heavenly Sword Villa since he was young and rarely went out, so he had never seen a girl as beautiful as Lan Xue Ruo, and was spoken to so gently by her. He felt his heartbeat accelerate all of a sudden, even his still somewhat tender little face reddened by one point, his eyes unblinking looked at Lan Xue Ruo, a little lost in thought and said: ”Princess sister, not only are you so good looking, even your voice is so nice to listen to …… ah, that’s right! Princess sister, will you marry me as your wife?”

Ling Yun and Yun Che’s eyebrow corners twitched slightly at the same time.

If a different person, with a face of infatuation and a lustful gaze, said these words, Yun Che cared who he was, and directly greeted him with a big mouth …… Molesting one’s own woman in front of one’s own face was something a man couldn’t stand. But this Ling Jie, no matter the expression or the eyes, there was no trace of lechery, the only thing there was that kind of innocent love and longing of a worldly youngster for a beautiful girl who touched his heartstrings, and this kind of innocence and directness without any hypocrisy made Yun Che really have no way to be disgusted with this Ling Jie and to hate him.

“Little Jie! Don’t talk nonsense! You’re really too offensive to Her Highness the Princess, if you keep messing around like this, I won’t bring you out next time.” Ling Yun tugged Ling Jie’s arm a bit and said slightly sternly, then smiled apologetically to Lan Xueruo, “Your Highness, Little Jie is still young and is talking nonsense, please don’t take offense.”

“I’m not the one talking nonsense!” Ling Jie said defiantly, “And how many times have I said that I’m not young anymore, so stop treating me like a child. I’m going to be sixteen soon, and even Pops said that I can make my own decisions in all matters. I want Princess Sister to be my wife, but it’s very serious, so I’m not talking nonsense! Mom also specifically advised that if you see a girl you like, you must say it out loud, if you’re late, someone else will snatch her away. Moreover, Princess Sister also just now said that I look very cute, maybe Princess Sister also likes me very much and promised me right away …… Princess Sister, isn’t it?”

The corner of Yun Che’s eyes twitched once again, and this time, he couldn’t remain calm any longer as he took a step forward and said, “Little brother Ling Jie, you’d better die, there’s no way that your Princess Sister will agree to you.”

“Ah? Why?” Ling Chen “whooshed” and turned his gaze to Yun Che, his eyes lacquered and round as he looked at him. Ling Yun also looked at him a few more times, his heart secretly marveling at the mysterious and unfathomable aura he had, and being able to follow Princess Cang Yue around was enough to prove that there must be something extraordinary about him.

“The reason is simple.” Yun Che grinned slightly, “Because your princess sister already has a man.”

Lan Xueruo’s pink lips parted, but she didn’t say anything, but her head unconsciously lowered slightly, and a touch of moving redness slightly appeared on her face.

“Huh? There’s a man?” Ling Jie stared, then yelled in a very irritated manner, “Who is it! Who’s the one who robbed my princess sister, I’m going to challenge him. Mom said that everything else can be let go, but the woman you have your eye on must not be let go, even if someone else snatches her, you must snatch her back in the most manly way! Princess Sister is the one I have my eyes on, I’m going to defeat him and snatch Princess Sister back.”

Yun Che indifferently skimmed his mouth, then took a step forward, pulled over Lan Xueruo’s small hand, and said with a smile, “Far away from the sky, but close to my eyes, it’s me.”

It was the first time that Lan Xueruo held hands with him in front of outsiders, and even more so, it was the first time that she was so close to a man in front of others as a princess, and she initially subconsciously panicked for a moment, but she did not break her hand free, allowing him to gently hold it. Obviously, Yun Che had acted impulsively, and letting outsiders know about their relationship definitely had a multitude of disadvantages, as it was highly likely to attract the vigilance of Cang Lin and Cang Shuo, as well as the assassination of Burning Jade City.

She understood very well what this impulse of Yun Che’s was due to; he was defending his possession of her. Although being jealous with a half-grown child made her a bit amused, she was likewise touched and enjoyed this almost overbearing care and concern for her.

Yun Che’s actions, as well as Lan Xueruo’s reaction instantly caused Ling Yun’s eyes to condense with a flash of astonishment. He was well aware of the Burning Sky Sect’s young master Burning Jiecheng’s infatuation with Princess Cang Yue, and had even sworn in front of Emperor Cang Feng that he would not marry her in this life. If Princess Cang Yue’s heart truly belonged to this person, then there was no doubt that it would attract Burning Jiecheng’s jealousy, resentment, as well as killing intent.

“You?” Ling Jie looked him up and down and was just about to say that he didn’t believe him, when he suddenly saw that he was holding the Princess Sister’s hand, his eyes instantly glared and he jumped up violently like a fuming young tiger cub, “You you you you you you dare to hold my Princess Sister’s hand! Where do you deserve the princess sister, you are so weak and not as good looking as me …… I want to challenge you! Take back my princess sister.”

Yun Che instantly also became angry …… saying that he was weak was just fine, but this little brat actually said that he was not as good looking as him, which was completely intolerable: “Challenge? Cut! I will be afraid of you a hair are not long boy! What do you want to compete with, just let your horse come over, and let’s see if I don’t educate you all over the place!”

The moment Yun Che’s words came out, Ling Yun’s gaze towards Yun Che suddenly became very …… complicated. And in Yun Che’s mind, there was also Jasmine’s obviously gloating voice: “Are you sure you want to compete with him? Although this person called Ling Jie is still much younger than you, his Xuan Force cultivation is already at the third level of the Spirit Xuan Realm ……”

Jasmine’s had only said half of it when Yun Che was shocked …… Spirit Xuan Realm Level 3? This fifteen year old child’s Xuan power cultivation was actually as high as the third level of the Spirit Xuan Realm! How is this possible?

Cangfeng Xuanfu’s Inner House Tianxuan Ranking’s number one, Burning Jiechen, was only at the second level of the Spirit Xuan Realm, at the age of seventeen. The other two Spirit Xuan Realm realms were both twenty years old. In front of him, this harmless looking and somewhat cute Ling Jie …… is actually a fifteen year old Spirit Xuan Realm third level! A terrifying existence that could be called a “freak”.

“That’s not all! The Xuan Gong he cultivates is very overbearing, and the aura he vaguely releases on his body is incomparably sharp, far beyond the realm of the third level of the Spirit Xuan Realm. This is enough to prove that not only is he at the third level of the Spirit Xuan Realm, but he can also cross the level of challenge. If you have all your cards on the table, you can still barely support yourself for four or five shots when you encounter an ordinary Spirit Xuan Realm Level 3, but facing him …… is purely looking for abuse!”
