In the shadows of the pavilion, Xiao Chen, who had heard the conversation between the Heavenly Book Scholar and the Ninth Prince, did not linger, leaving quietly.
Now that it was daytime, the Death God Mask's effect was much weaker.
However, Xiao Chen used a trick to make the Ninth Prince and the Heavenly Book Scholar think that he had already left.
That was why he hadn't been discovered. If he continued to stay here, it would be hard to guarantee that something unexpected would happen.
"To think that the Ninth Prince is behind the Heavenly Book Scholar. However, I know nothing about the Ninth Prince."
On the way back to the Misty Rain Pavilion, Xiao Chen thought to himself, feeling that he had grasped some clues.
The Crown Prince's betrothal gift was a key to the Ethereal Immortal Palace, and now the Ninth Prince was also searching for a key to the Ethereal Immortal Palace. Could it be that the Ethereal Immortal Palace was under the control of the Ethereal Immortal Palace?
It was very likely that there were two conditions. One was to possess the key to the Ethereal Immortal Palace, and the other was to obtain the help of a prince.
Only by fulfilling these two conditions could one know where the Immortal Palace would appear and obtain the opportunity to enter.
If that was the case, he would have no choice but to be involved in the battle for the position of Crown Prince.
"In this era of great competition, we have to fight even if we don't want to."
Xiao Chen thought to himself, thinking that it was time to make a choice. The Ninth Prince did not think highly of him.
However, the Ninth Prince was not the only one in the imperial capital, Yan City. There were many people that he could work with.
He returned to the Misty Rain Tower.
When Xiao Chen saw Su Ye, she was trying to console Ling Yu. However, based on Ling Yu's expression, the effect was not good.
The beggar was sleeping on the bed. Mo Chen, Bao`er, and the others were at the side.
"Big Brother Xiao, you're finally back."
Mo Chen stood up to welcome Xiao Chen. Clearly, they already knew what happened in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion.
"I met an old friend and was delayed for some time. However, I unexpectedly learned some things. Ling Yu, do you want to hear them?"
Xiao Chen said softly as he looked at Ling Yu.
"Martial Uncle, does it have anything to do with me?"
Xiao Chen nodded. "It does have something to do with you. I just learned that the Smiling Daughter Pavilion married headliner Ling Long to the First Prince Wang Fei because of an Ethereal Immortal Palace key."
"Immortal Palace Key?"
A bright light flashed in Su Ye's eyes. She said in realization, "No wonder, no wonder. Although the First Prince had a close relationship with the Pleasure Quarter Alliance, the Pleasure Quarter Alliance was far from fully supporting him in the fight for the position of crown prince. His relationship with the other princes was also not bad. It looks like this wedding has to go through. Headliner Ling Long will have to marry the First Prince even if she doesn't want to. She is a chess piece representing the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. "
Ling Yu smiled bitterly, remaining silent. This news was undoubtedly adding hail to snow.
However, Mo Chen's eyes lit up. She smiled and said, "Ling Yu, did you not understand what Big Brother Xiao meant?"
Somewhat confused, Ling Yu asked, "What do you mean?"
Mo Chen smiled softly and said, "That is to say, headliner Ling Long did not covet the First Prince's position and authority. She was forced to do so because of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion's agreement with the First Prince. Since the First Prince handed over the Ethereal Immortal Palace's key, he definitely wants the Smiling Daughter Pavilion to make a statement, to let everyone know that the Pleasure Quarter Alliance is on the First Prince's side. "
"Hence, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion withdrew headliner Ling Long. This wedding is a ceremony for both sides to form an alliance."
Hearing that, Ling Yu revealed a look of joy on his face. However, it quickly dimmed. "Even so, what can I do?"
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let me ask you something. What is your relationship with headliner Ling Long?"
Xiao Chen asked the question that everyone was curious about. Many gazes immediately landed on Ling Yu.
This was especially so for Su Ye. She seemed to be very interested in this matter. She propped up her chin with both hands as she watched without blinking.
"Back then, Martial Uncle brought me to the Soaring Dragon Great Realm. When I saw headliner Ling Long, I had a good impression of her. Later, I stayed there and learned the pipa from Elder Sister Ling Long for three months. It was just three short months, but it felt like three lifetimes. I was very happy during that period. However, I still had to return to the sect. The night before I left, she entrusted her life to me. I agreed to come to the imperial capital Yan City to look for her five years later. "
At this point, Ling Yu blushed slightly, appearing somewhat embarrassed. However, his face showed joy from the memories.
Thinking about it, that period of time was indeed a beautiful time for him, one that was hard to forget.
"What happened after that? What happened after that? "
Su Ye asked in anticipation, her eyes bright like pearls as she smiled.
"Five years later, I became the youngest Star Venerate in the Grave Sea Cluster. Martial Uncle Sect Master tried to get me to stay. As long as I stayed, the Purple Flame Sect would make me the Sect Master. However, I fell in love with Elder Sister Ling Long, so I rejected Martial Uncle. At that time, I was very spirited and very cocky. Many of the older-generation experts in the Grave Sea Cluster could not last ten moves against me.
"I wanted to give her a surprise, so I did not tell her and came to the imperial capital Yan City alone."
At this point, the smile on Ling Yu's face slowly disappeared. His grave expression contained a trace of regret and intense bitterness.
Xiao Chen and the others exchanged glances. They more or less understood some things.
In hindsight, Ling Yu was indeed a once-in-a-thousand-year genius in the Grave Sea Cluster. Ling Yu also had a rather thin Great Desolate Eon bloodline. At such a young age, he already advanced to Star Venerate. At that time, he would have been brimming with confidence.
He wanted to come to the imperial capital Yan City and show off his abilities, making a name for himself and obtaining beauties at the same time.
However, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the imperial capital Yan City was the most bustling city of the Tian Yuan Empire.
With Ling Yu's talent and strength in the Grave Sea Cluster, he instantly paled in comparison when he came to the imperial capital Yan City. Even Sovereign Personages did not dare to speak loudly in the imperial capital Yan City, what more an insignificant Star Venerate?
One could easily imagine how disappointed Ling Yu was.
"I sneaked into the Smiling Daughter Pavilion and saw Ling Long … She stood in the clouds. After she finished her song, the applause rang out endlessly. Countless Primeval Heavenly Pills flew over like ribbons. There was no lack of nobles, Holy Venerates, Sovereign Personages, and even Sovereign Emperors. At that time, I felt somewhat timid. I could only afford a seat in the corner, where I could only look up at her in the clouds. I left her a letter and left. I wanted to come back and look for her five years later. I felt that a mere Star Venerate was not good enough for her. "
Ling Yu's voice sounded somewhat choked. At that time, he must have been incredibly depressed.
Back in the Soaring Dragon Great Realm, he had not sensed the position of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion's manager. Only after coming to the imperial capital Yan City did he realize what kind of height Ling Long, whom he had an appointment with, stood.
"However, I did not expect Elder Sister Ling Long to find me outside the city … I was so stupid. Back then, I was really stupid. She said that she was willing to leave with me, but I felt that I was not good enough for her, so I made her wait for five years. However, when I returned five years later, she was not even willing to meet me. "
At this point, Ling Yu's face filled with pain. His eyes had long since turned moist.
"You are really stupid! Hah! I don't even know what to say about you. You deserve to regret it now. "
After Su Ye heard that, she frowned and cursed Ling Yu.
Xiao Chen remained silent. However, he could understand Ling Yu. When he came to the imperial capital Yan City from the Grave Sea Cluster, he felt like a country bumpkin entering a city. It was like a country bumpkin entering the city. Su Ye, who had never experienced it, found it hard to understand the huge impact and incomparable disappointment.
The pain was indescribable.
Mo Chen said calmly, "In my opinion, headliner Ling Long should still be concerned about Ling Yu. Otherwise, he would have been beaten to death in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion already."
Su Ye nodded softly and said, "That's right. You repeatedly went to the Smiling Daughter Pavilion and caused so much trouble. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died several times already. Headliner Ling Long must have instructed them not to harm you. Brat, you are really fortunate. "
"Headliner Ling Long disregarded everything and was willing to leave with you. How much courage does this require? To think that you did not agree … Now that she is not seeing you, she must still be angry. "
Ling Yu said sullenly, "No, I have to meet her. I will only give up if she tells me personally. "
Ling Yu's sudden outburst startled Su Ye, Mo Chen, and the others.
"If you want to meet her, tonight is the best time. Right now, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion is in chaos. Everyone is very busy. It is best to sneak in, "Su Ye analyzed calmly.
Xiao Chen stood up and said, "I'll bring you there."
"Martial Uncle." Ling Yu immediately felt so touched that he wanted to cry, not knowing what to say.
Xiao Chen said softly, "Since you address me as Martial Uncle, I will definitely be the matchmaker. Back then, I prepared to give you a pipa as a token of love. I still hope that you can personally give it to her."
"I want to go as well."
Su Ye rolled her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Visiting a brothel? I want to go as well. Hahaha! You people are all very bad. While this uncle is drunk, you want to visit a brothel again. Hehe! This uncle is awake!
Hahaha! "the beggar, who was sleeping like a dead pig on the bed, suddenly said as he stood up.
Xiao Chen did not find this strange, so he looked at Mo Chen.
Mo Chen said softly, "Bao`er and I will not be going. Elder Sister Su Ye already handed most of the matters of the merchant association to me. Later, I still have to discuss it with the Association Chiefs of the Nine Cauldron Pavilion and Linlang Pavilion."
Xiao Chen looked at Su Ye with some surprise. Unexpectedly, Su Ye relinquished her authority so early.
"Don't look at me. Why would I be unhappy if I can be more free?"
Su Ye smiled faintly, confusing everyone, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Let's go, then."
