On the noon of January 27th, when the airboat of Pandora and Demons-kill Valley arrived above Yinhai Desert, an airboat also slowly landed in the airboat landing field outside Datang City in the heavy wind and snow.
It was hot over the Gobi Desert; however, it was still snowing heavily in Datang City.
Different climates in different places were like different people's moods. One was as hot as fire while the other was as cold as ice.
Standing by the window of the airboat, Lan Yunxi watched the increasingly clear city on the ground in a daze. This city was more prosperous than all the other cities in Youzhou Province and was larger than the total of all the cities under the jurisdiction of Huaiyuan Palace. The owner of this city was a young and promising royal prince. However, at this moment, all the magnificent buildings on the ground and the crowds who were waiting to welcome her in the heavy wind and snow were meaningless in Lan Yunxi's eyes. Even though she was going to become the hostess of this city, everything here seemed to have nothing to do with her.
The engagement between her and Xuanyuan Wuji was a complete trade. It was her master Taiyi Fantasy Sect who brokered this trade.
Not everyone agreed with this trade of marriage between her and Xuanyuan Wuji. Even her master persuaded her to consider it carefully privately. The elders of Huaiyuan Palace such as Muyuan and Muray firmly opposed it. However, Lan Yunxi still insisted on it or followed the arrangement of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. In this trade, she treated herself as a commodity and the object of the trade. In exchange, Huaiyuan Palace officially became a royal family member of Taixia Country.
People like Xuanyuan Changying didn't lack women, not to mention beautiful and capable women. In front of such a person, the so-called beautiful and capable women were as meaningless as gold coins in the pockets of rich businessmen. They couldn't even be regarded as tools or decorations. However, Lan Yunxi was not only beautiful and capable; what was more important was that she had awakened a bloodline.
In addition to the Zhang Clan's martial arts bloodline, Lan Yunxi had also awakened a Heavenly Rank Bloodline. This was an extremely rare bloodline that only women could awaken. A woman who had awakened this bloodline had the ability to let her child inherit the genes of the powerful bloodline from the child's father to the greatest extent, and even to a certain extent, make a breakthrough in the level of the original ancestral bloodline.
This ancestral bloodline was called Golden Jade Fate, which was the rarest and most peculiar one among all the heavenly bloodlines. Because this bloodline didn't work on herself, but on her babies. Therefore, even in Taixia Country, women who had awakened this bloodline might be rarer than sage-level knights.
Lan Yunxi's awakened Golden Jade Fate Bloodline was discovered by her family members when she came to Sunflower Garden for the first time at the age of 14. Because girls who had awakened this bloodline would have golden sunflowers with a special fragrance when they came to Sunflower Garden for the first time, which was utterly different than that of common girls. From then on, this bloodline had become the biggest secret of Huaiyuan Palace.
Across Huaiyuan Palace, nobody else knew about it except for Lan Yunxi's father, Zhang Taixuan, even the clan elders didn't know about it.
After Lan Yunxi joined Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Taiyi Fantasy Sect also knew this secret of Lan Yunxi.
In Lan Yunxi's opinion, she was exchanging herself for the future of Huaiyuan Palace; however, she had not imagined that Xuanyuan Wuji wanted to get something else through this marriage.
For Lan Yunxi, she had experienced the cruelest things in the world for a woman. Therefore, there was nothing that could bring her more pain and hurt.
This was a sacrifice, and also a kind of self-abuse. However, in this kind of sacrifice and self-abuse, Lan Yunxi felt a kind of twisted pleasure of revenge in her heart.
She wanted to see that man's furious look and tearful look. If possible, she even wanted to see that man kneel down in front of her and beg for her forgiveness …
However, she couldn't see that now …
When she agreed to this marriage, the black invitation card of Taiyi Fantasy Sect had not been sent to Iron-Dragon Sect. When the black invitation card was sent to Iron-Dragon Sect, she had already fixed the engagement between her and Xuanyuan Wuji. Even the date of this engagement was officially announced by Taiyi Fantasy Sect a few days ago.
She knew that the man was in secluded cultivation in Iron-Dragon Sect these days. She also knew that the man would have a life-and-death duel above Yinhai in a couple of days. As a result, Lan Yunxi became hesitant and confused. She didn't even figure out why the relationship between that man and her sect suddenly deteriorated.
'That man killed my father!'
'That man tore apart the clan that she wanted to protect!'
However, that man was going to have a duel with the sage-level knight of her sect who was so kind to her!
It seemed that her sect would be able to avenge her father's death soon. She had also achieved her goal of taking revenge on that man. Lan Yunxi felt that she should be happy. However, she didn't know why, but at this moment, looking at this unfamiliar city, Lan Yunxi's heart felt empty. The cold air even made her feel a strong sense of suffocation, making it hard for her to breathe.
'Did I do something wrong? Did I offend anyone? '
When the airboat landed, Lan Yunxi closed her eyes as she asked herself. However, her answer made her take in a deep breath. When she opened her eyes once again, all the weakness in her eyes had disappeared.
"Miss, we've arrived!" Elder Muyu's voice drifted from behind.
"I see!" Lan Yunxi said calmly without looking back, "You can leave first. I will come out after cleaning up …"
"Okay!"
Superficially, Lan Yunxi and Xuanyuan Wuji came to Datang City to meet each other before their official marriage. Actually, it was a negotiation between the two parties. As for Lan Yunxi and Elder Muyu, it was more like a "visit" to a foreign country instead of a guest. In order to maintain the dignity of Huaiyuan Palace, Elder Muyu had already argued with the steward of the third prince's mansion in Datang City by remote-sensing communication for over half a month in order to maintain the dignity of Huaiyuan Palace.
They were arguing about some details which were related to the dignity of Huaiyuan Palace.
Previously, the third prince's mansion wanted to send an airboat to pick Lan Yunxi up; however, Elder Muyu refused it; instead, he directly rented an airboat from Golden Roc Bank at a high price. After Zhang Taixuan died, the provincial governor's airboat that was allocated to Zhang Taixuan had been taken back. The airboats of Jinwu Palace and Iron-Dragon Sect had nothing to do with Huaiyuan Palace anymore. The airboats of the elders of Huaiyuan Palace were also returned. As a result, airboats became a luxury for Huaiyuan Palace once again. If they wanted to use it, they could only rent it.
Previously, the third prince's mansion requested Lan Yunxi's airboat to land on the square of the mansion; however, Elder Muyu insisted on landing the airboat in the airport outside Datang City so as to enter the third prince's mansion by car.
Previously, the third prince's mansion wanted to arrange Lan Yunxi to live in a courtyard of the mansion; however, Elder Muyu said that it was improper. Therefore, he directly booked the most senior hotel in Datang City as Lan Yunxi's residence. He only had the third prince's mansion arrange some female servants in the hotel.
Elder Muyu didn't even give any concession to Lan Yunxi when she would enter or leave the mansion; instead, he wanted to maintain Lan Yunxi's dignity bit by bit.
Lan Yunxi and Elder Muyu were in the same attitude as envoys from small countries when they were going to a big country with high self-esteem.
Lan Yunxi cleaned up her look in the airboat. Closely after that, she walked out of the hatch door of the airboat calmly in a luxurious cloak.
The third prince's mansion assigned a team of guards, a steward and 8 limousines to welcome Lan Yunxi here. Even the arrangement of these people in the airport was negotiated by Elder Muyu.
The steward of the third prince's mansion was an average-looking old man with grey hair. He looked very genial; however, his eyes were a bit sharp. Not until Lan Yunxi walked out of the airboat did the steward come over here and slightly bow towards Lan Yunxi. Closely after that, he straightened up and said calmly, "His Highness especially told me to welcome you here. Please get in the car …"
Watching Elder Muyu slightly nodding, Lan Yunxi also got on the same vehicle with Elder Muyu.
Closely after that, the fleet left the airport and drove towards the third prince's mansion in the city.
"Miss, I still feel that Xuanyuan Wuji's intention is unpredictable. I'm afraid that it's not only for the ancestral bloodline that you awaken. You'd better be careful …" Elder Muyu told Lan Yunxi secretly as he watched the scenery of Datang City outside the car.
There was only one driver in the car, who was just a common fighter. Even though he was a knight, he couldn't hear the communication between Elder Muyu and Elder Muyu secretly.
"Elder Muyu, what else do you think could arouse Xuanyuan Wuji's interest in Huaiyuan Palace except for me?" Lan Yunxi asked Elder Muyu secretly with a self-mocking smile.
Elder Muyu didn't know what to say. Finally, he could only let out a sigh helplessly, "Miss, if you think so, I have nothing to say. We might have something that we couldn't see. If …" Elder Muyu sighed helplessly.
"That person has nothing to do with Huaiyuan Palace anymore. I don't want to hear that person's name anymore …" Lan Yunxi interrupted Elder Muyu with a solemn look.
This was the only talk between the two people in the vehicle.
The pilot vehicle in the front was marked with the symbol and banner of the third prince's mansion. Additionally, traffic control was implemented on the road. Therefore, this fleet drove smoothly in the heavy snow. Only after over 1 hour, they had arrived at the third prince's mansion from the main gate of the third prince's mansion …
