Chapter 125 – Cang Feng Emperor

Cangfeng Imperial City, the center imperial palace.

Blue Xue Ruo’s footsteps were hurried, passing through the heavy guards and heading straight to the emperor’s chambers. The palace guards encountered along the way saluted.

“Princess Cang Yue, you’re back. The Emperor is thinking about you these days.” At the entrance of the emperor’s chambers, a middle-aged eunuch bent over and quickly greeted her, “Do you want me to inform you.”

“No need.” Lan Xueruo shook her head and walked straight into the Emperor’s chambers.

Cang Wan Gully, the ninety-ninth emperor of the Cang Feng Empire, the emperor was at the helm of the world, shaking the four seas with his might. He is already fifty-six years old this year, palace life pampered, this age, in an emperor should not be enough to show old age, but Cang Wan Yu is lying quietly in bed, face dusky, gaze is even more dull and godless, like a seventy to eighty year old late old man.

“Your Majesty, Princess Cang Yue has returned!” His personal eunuch walked in with light steps, saying with a happy face.

Upon hearing this, a trace of urgency appeared on Cang Wan Gu’s deathly pale face, his upper body moved and he struggled to stand up, “Quickly, quickly let her come in.”

His voice had just fallen, Lan Xue Ruo walked in, seeing Cang Wan Yu’s obviously much older face again and the earnestness in his gaze, her heart sank as she quickly stepped forward, kneeling on both knees in front of Cang Wan Yu: “Father, my daughter is ungrateful, and this time, she has come to visit you after such a long interval.”

“It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back.” Cang Wan Yu nodded happily, at this time, his face did not have the slightest hint of the majesty of being an emperor, the only thing that was present was the compassion of an ordinary father in the face of his beloved daughter, “Quickly get up. From the last time you came back from Crescent City, more than three months have passed, I have also been restless during this period of time, afraid that something will happen to you, hehe, it’s good that it’s fine.”

“There was a small incident on my daughter’s side that delayed some time, letting father hang on to her.” Lan Xue Ruo got up, looked at his father’s appearance, a burst of sourness in his nose: “Father, how does your condition …… seem to have worsened again? With Master Gu personally diagnosing and treating you, how can it still be like this?”

“Cough cough ……” Cang Wan Yu just want to speak, is a burst of violent coughing, he gasped a few breaths, his voice hoarse said: “Perhaps, I am really old, this disease is heavy, but there are ancient masters, is not enough to immediately want to my Life, but I sooner or later, to be this group of rebellious son angry death …… cough, cough cough cough cough cough ……”

After saying two words, Cang Wan Gu was coughing in pain again, Lan Xue Ruo hurriedly stepped forward and patted up his back gently.

At this time, the eunuch’s voice came from outside the door, “Your Majesty, the Crown Prince seeks an audience.”

Cang Wan Gu’s body lurched, and Lan Xue Ruo’s face instantly turned bad looking. With that, a growl roared from Cang Wan Gu’s mouth, “Tell him to get lost! I don’t want to see him!”

“Aiya, what is it that made Father Emperor so angry. Father Emperor is suffering from an illness right now, so he must take care of his body and refrain from getting angry.”

With the sound of a scattered voice, a young man in his thirties, dressed in a gold patterned Chinese dress walked in with his hands behind his back, as soon as he saw Lan Xue Ruo, he squinted his eyes and smiled, “My dear Imperial Sister, just now when I heard the subordinate say that you came back, I didn’t just rush here, I haven’t seen you in a few months, I’ve missed you a lot.”

“You rebellious son, who let you in, immediately give me a roll!” Cang Wan Gu stretched out his trembling fingers and roared angrily.

“Father must not be angry, be careful of hurting your body, my son is only concerned about my father’s illness and has come to visit, if my father is not pleased, my son will leave immediately.” Crown Prince Cang Lin said smilingly, that loose expression completely lacked half the trepidation when facing an angry emperor, much less any respect or scruples.

“Visiting?” Cang Wan Gu sneered, “Come to see if I have died violently in bed? I tell you, as long as I still have a breath in me, you don’t want to get this throne! And don’t even think about me decreeing to pass on the throne! Get out of here now!”

“Father, why be so stubborn.” Crown Prince Cang Lin skimmed his lips, “What kind of existence is the Xiao Zong, now that I have the full support of the Xiao Zong, as long as I am allowed to ascend to the throne, the Xiao Zong will be used for me, and our Cangfeng royal family will only become even more prosperous and mighty in the world ……”

“Shut up ……cough, cough cough cough ……” Cang Wan Gully was furious, his face red, his chest rising and falling violently, “Xiao Zong has been coveting the power of my Cangfeng royal family for a long time And you, these rebellious sons, even dared to lead the wolf into the house …… If I let you become the emperor, my Cangfeng royal family thousand years of foundation, will exist in name only, become a puppet of others! I pride myself on my reputation as a great warrior, but I’ve raised a group of rebellious sons like you! Get out! Get out!”

Lan Xue Ruo was also already clenching her fists in anger, she could no longer tolerate it and said angrily, “Father’s words didn’t you hear me! Get out of here! Neither Father nor I want to see you again!”

“Tsk, why bother.” Cang Lin shook his head and grinned, “Father, you’ve been on the throne for quite a few years, it’s time for you to give way, and even if you won’t, sooner or later, it will only fall into my hands, and so what if my dear Imperial Brother Cang Shuo climbs into the Burning Sky Sect? In my eyes, he has never been worthy of being my opponent …… My dear royal sister, I heard that you do not stay in the Cangfeng Xuanfu for the past two years, but in the outside running around, could it be that you are in a hurry to find a horse harnessed by the side of a team? Your royal brother here has quite a few young talents, do you want to introduce them to your royal sister?”

“Scram!” Lan Xueruo gritted her teeth, her inner rage reaching the extreme.

“Hahahahaha! That minister takes his leave.” Cang Lin let out a burst of maniacal laughter, carried his hands upside down, and walked out unhurriedly.

“This group of rebellious …… sons!!!” Cang Wan Gu was infuriated, his face flushed red and his body trembling.

“Father, they’ve gone crazy, it’s not worth getting angry over them, the body is important.” Lan Xue Ruo patted his father’s back, trying hard to calm the anger in his heart.

Silence for a while, Cang Wan Yu finally calmed down a bit, he smiled ruefully and said, “All along, I thought that I had cultivated seven sons of tigers and leopards, I didn’t think that my seven sons …… were all a bunch of jackals. Good, the heavens gave me a little mercy, let me still have you this daughter. Unfortunately, you are a daughter body, otherwise, I can directly pass the throne to you …… but if I really do so, but also will be bitter you ah …… Cang Lin and Cang Shuo this two rebellious son of a collusion of the Xiao Zong, a collusion of the Burning Sky Sect, huh? …… Regardless of who among them ultimately gets their way, our Cang Feng royal family, will all become puppets of others …… The heavens have no eyes, the heavens have no eyes ah.”

“Father, don’t worry too much, I will definitely do my best to stop them.” Lan Xueruo bit her lip, her eyes clouded with a faint mist of water.

Cang Wan Gu smiled and shook his head, “These seven rebellious sons are divided into two camps, and the important powers in the dynasty are also basically in their hands, as well as the secret assistance of the Xiao Sect and the Burning Sky Sect, so what are you going to do to stop them? I most hope, if that day comes, you leave this imperial city, hide as far away as possible, I’m afraid that this group of rebellious sons, will treat you as a pawn of interests …… then I, will really die in peace.”

“It won’t be, Father, with Master Gu, you will definitely get well and live a long life.” Lan Xue Ruo forced back her tears and shook her head vigorously.

“Hehe,” Cang Wan Gu laughed forlornly, how his own physical condition was, he himself knew best, he had even been suspecting that this inexplicable and serious illness was not a result of Cang Lin’s or Cang Shuo’s hidden plans? He closed his eyes, lost: “I reigned for nineteen years, and in the end realized that this emperor when a failure. Teaching these rebellious sons aside, I was on the throne of the first wish, is to let my Cang Feng royal family in the ‘Cang Feng ranking war’ to wash away the shame, but, nineteen years past, I get, only time and time again, never stop the shame …… I hall Cangfeng Empire’s royal family, no one can even enter the top 100, time and time again become the laughing stock of the world, never able to raise their heads before those clans, what a sadness!”

Lan Xueruo’s eyes flickered, Yun Che’s silhouette surfaced in her mind, and a feeling of warmth also grew in her heart, making even her heart much calmer as she softly said, “Father, this wish of yours will definitely be realized. My daughter has been bouncing around the major Xuan Fu for the past two years, looking for such a person with the Emperor’s Heart Skill, my daughter’s efforts have not been in vain, just a month and a half ago, my daughter found this person, and has already brought him to the Cangfeng Xuan Fu, my daughter will try to do everything she can to let him participate in the next Cangfeng Ranking Battle on behalf of our imperial family …… My daughter believes that he will definitely enter the the top 100, reaching Father’s wish and washing away our royal family’s shame.”

Lan Xue Ruo knew that with his father’s body, it was not suitable to say too many words. She helped her father cover up the quilt and said softly, “Father, rest well and make sure to get your body well. My daughter still has some things to do, so I’ll come back tomorrow to visit Father …… Uncle Dongfang, please be sure to protect my father.”

After Lan Xueruo’s voice fell, an old and low voice came from above the bedchamber, “Your Highness, don’t worry, with the old man here, he will never allow anyone to harm a single hair on the Emperor’s head.”

Lan Xueruo nodded gratefully and left the emperor’s chambers.

No one knows that she, the only princess and the youngest child of Emperor Cangfeng, carries much pressure on her thin shoulders, and how much uncertainty and heaviness is buried in her heart ……

The center square of the Cangfeng Xuanfu was immense, and since this was the last day of this year’s disciple recruitment, it was thus filled with densely packed crowds. A large portion of them were young Xuan practitioners undergoing the examination, and a small portion were Xuanfu disciples who came to watch the fun.

Although it was already the last day of the examination, the number of young Xuan practitioners who accepted the examination was still quite huge, and the examination was divided into three hundred groups, and under Qin Wuyou’s intervention, Yun Che was inserted into the ninety-ninth group halfway through.

The examination was divided into two parts, the Xuan Force Test and the Battle Force Test, which seemed to sound the same, but there was an essential difference in the form of the examination.
