The Outer Hall.
Yue Yang, Yue Bing, Ye Kong, Fatty Hai and the Li Brothers walked out of the Outer Hall. Usually, they, the younger generation, did not have the qualifications to sit together and discuss matters with the elders. Now that Inan's parents wanted to see Yue Yang, he had no choice but to hide in the inner courtyard. When Yue Yang saw that Princess Sissi and his cousin Yue Yu were also there, he could not help but sweat a little. With Princess Sissi, the Rouge Tigress present, it would be inconvenient for him to say many things.
It seemed that Princess Sissi had purposely stayed behind to cause trouble and watch him make a fool of himself.
This Rouge Tigress had no choice but to teach her a lesson …
Yue Yang's mind flashed with the images of Princess Sissi that day. He tried his best to imagine how to push this girl down. Of course, on the surface, he pretended to be an obedient child.
Fourth Mother was whispering to a beautiful woman with a veiled face. Yue Yang's hearing had improved greatly, so he could hear that the two of them were talking in a language that he had never heard before, but he couldn't understand what they were talking about.
The little girl snuggled in Fourth Mother's embrace and ate desserts. Her mouth was a mess, but when she saw Yue Yang, she immediately jumped down and threw herself into his arms.
She had already eaten the brown sugar rice cake in her hands, but she still wanted to stuff half of it into her brother's mouth.
As for her sister Yue Bing, she only raised it up and pretended to give it to her.
Without waiting for Yue Bing to react, she proudly took it back and tried her best to covet her sister, refusing to give it to her.
Yue Bing glared at her snappily and reached out her hand to pinch the little girl's mischievous nose. The little girl giggled as she dodged it. Her laughter was as clear as a bell, and she immediately ran away … Running around the house, the two sisters, one chasing and the other running, made Yue Yang secretly sigh. This warm little house had returned to its former liveliness and happiness.
In the house, other than Princess Sissi, his cousin Yue Yu, Fourth Mother and the beautiful masked woman, there was also the old cunning fox and the eagle-eyed Xia Hou Wei Lie.
Fatty Hai was originally very cocky.
The moment he saw the eagle-eyed man, he immediately turned into a tortoise, his head almost retracting into his neck. It seemed like the training he endured under the hands of the eagle-eyed man, Xiahou Wei Lie, had left a shadow in his heart. Ye Kong and the Li Clan Brothers hurriedly greeted the Old Cunning Fox, the Art Principal, and Teacher Xia Hou. They then pretended to be polite and obedient children and greeted Fourth Mother and the others one after another. In the end, they squeezed into a corner of the room … Yue Yang already knew that he couldn't count on them to help. Now, it seemed that their value in existence was only limited to watching.
When Fourth Mother saw Yue Yang enter, she waved her hand, gesturing for Yue Yang to come over. She then introduced to him, "San-er, this is the aunt of your 'Brother Inan'. Actually, Inan is a girl. You, this child, are always hiding at home. You can't even differentiate between a man and a woman. If this were to spread, you would really become a joke."
"I feel that there is something wrong with Inan. Which guy doesn't like beauties? Just like Master Hai, he would drool whenever he sees a beauty. So it turns out that Inan is actually a girl!" Yue Yang knew that he couldn't pretend to be too surprised, especially since Yue Bing had already said it once. If he still pretended to be surprised, then he would be lying. The best thing to do now was to pretend to be stupid, but not to the extent of being stupid. As long as the elders had a way to step down, it would be fine.
"What are you saying? Hurry up and greet Aunt Inan! "Fourth Mother immediately scolded Yue Yang when she heard this. How could he be so impolite when he saw an elder?
"Yes, yes. Aunt Inan, please have some tea!" Yue Yang's ability to pretend to be a good child was even better than his battle skills. He lifted the teapot and poured tea for the masked beauty. He then personally lifted the teacup and passed it to Fourth Mother.
Fourth Mother knew that this brat wasn't usually so attentive, but seeing him being so obedient in front of outsiders and even serving tea to her, she felt a sweetness in her heart.
She quickly received the teacup and softly instructed him to serve tea to the old cunning fox and the eagle-eyed Xia Hou Wei Lie.
The old cunning fox was actually quite arrogant. He calmly accepted the tea that Yue Yang had served.
As for Xia Hou Wei Lie, he seemed to know that Yue Yang was an Innate. Although Yue Yang was his student in name, he immediately stood up and held the teacup before receiving the tea that Yue Yang had poured for him. Although his expression didn't change, his eagle-eyed eyes were filled with pride.
An Innate Ranker personally poured tea for him. This was the first time in his life!
If it was someone else, it would be impossible for them to receive such treatment.
When Yue Yang returned to Fourth Mother's side and sat down, Aunt Inan opened her mouth. She had been sizing up Yue Yang the whole time. The more she looked, the happier she was. Although she didn't show it on her face, she secretly felt that Inan had good taste.
"Your Fourth Mother, your biological mother and I were all born in the Valley of Butterflies and Flowers. Although we are from different clans, we can still be considered as sisters with different surnames. In terms of age, I am slightly older than your Fourth Mother. You can call me Second Aunt in the future, or you can call me Aunt like Inan. Inan can be considered as your distant cousin. " When Aunt Inan said this, Yue Yang suddenly realized that Fourth Mother was also from the Valley of Butterflies and Flowers. No wonder she and Aunt Inan could speak the same language.
The language that they spoke just now didn't sound like the language of the Soaring Dragon Continent.
Yue Yang had never heard of it before.
Looks like Fourth Mother and the pitiful guy's biological mother were really mysterious. Otherwise, the people from the Thousand Goblins Sect wouldn't attack Fourth Mother for no reason and capture her to open the Heaven Stairway.
What kind of place was the Heaven Stairway?
Could it be another Tong Tian Tower? Or a different dimension like the Demon Abyss …
Yue Yang felt that although the Soaring Dragon Continent looked ordinary on the surface, it actually contained many mysteries. For example, there were so many Innate Rankers, why did they have to train their juniors in the Soaring Dragon Continent? Why didn't they bring the outstanding juniors into the Tong Tian Tower? Instead, they brought out the beasts from the Tong Tian Tower and released them on the Soaring Dragon Continent to train their juniors?
There were also God's Ruins, Heaven Stairway, Falling Cangue Mountain, Demonic Palace, Thousand Goblins Sect, Four Great Sects and so on. All of them were mysteries among mysteries!
Now, even this Valley of Butterflies and Flowers seemed to be a complicated place.
Because Yue Yang used his Level 3 [Divine Vision] and realized that he couldn't completely see through Aunt Inan. This masked beautiful woman should be as powerful as the old fox … Above her, there was still the Valley Master of Butterflies and Flowers.
As for the pitiful guy's mother, no one had mentioned her before. Yue Yang felt that she was definitely not an ordinary person!
"The current Valley of Butterflies and Flowers is not the same as it was in the past. It has already declined and declined. Your birth mother passed away early. The Sect of Butterflies was originally passed down by only one person. Now, there is no successor. Now that we have found Fourth Mother and you two, it is really fate! As for the Sect of Butterflies and Flowers, although they are not as single as the Sect of Butterflies, they do not have enough people. During the chaos a few years ago, our country was destroyed by the Demonic Palace and the Thousand Goblins Sect. The Outer Valley of Butterflies was attacked by the enemy and burned to ashes. We had no place to stand. That's why Inan hid her identity and disguised herself as a bandit. She met you and traveled together with you. It must be fate … "When Aunt Inan said this, Yue Yang's heart trembled slightly.
Finally, someone mentioned information about the pitiful guy's birth mother. From Aunt Inan's tone, the pitiful guy's birth mother was the successor of the Sect of Butterflies?
What made Yue Yang even more surprised was that the Valley of Butterflies and Flowers used to manage a country.
Under the joint attack of the Demonic Palace and the Thousand Goblins Sect, the country was destroyed in the end … This was not simple either. Both the Demonic Palace and the Thousand Goblins Sect were powerful hidden organizations. Especially the Demonic Palace. Even Da Xia, Tian Luo and Zi Jin, the three great kingdoms, did not dare to look down on them. The Valley of Butterflies and Flowers was able to fight against both the Demonic Palace and the Thousand Goblins Sect at the same time. Thinking about it, it was actually very powerful.
"What was the original country called?" Yue Yang was really curious. Every hundred years, many countries in the Soaring Dragon Continent would be destroyed. However, he did not know which country was so powerful that they could fight against the Demonic Palace and the Thousand Goblins Sect.
"Our country was originally called 'Dawn Light'. The outside world generally calls us' Guang Guang 'or' Ming '." Inan's aunt seemed to be unwilling to talk about it.
"What?" Yue Yang almost jumped up in shock.
This' Guang Guang 'or' Ming 'country, Yue Yang also knew about it.
The original Ming Country was very big. It was one of the top five countries in the Soaring Dragon Continent. However, the strange thing was that this country did not like wars. Furthermore, the country was ruled by a female ruler. The Ming Country would rather pay a large amount of 'peacetime military expenses' to the surrounding countries than to recruit soldiers for wars. At the border of the Ming Country, even a small country the size of a bean could ask the Ming Country for money.
The Ming Country was also the only country in the Soaring Dragon Continent that would not attack independent cities.
When other countries invaded, the Ming Country would usually send strong warriors to persuade the soldiers to retreat and offer a large amount of money.
If the City Lord became independent, or if a city was attacked by the enemy, the Ming Country would be the only country that would appease the citizens and let them follow the new City Lord and live a good life. At the same time, they would also use a large amount of money to redeem the citizens who were willing to return to the Ming Country.
If there was a country that treated benevolence, righteousness and morality as the only standard of a country, it would be the Ming Country that was ruled by a female ruler.
To the ordinary citizens, this kind of country was very beautiful.
But to the warriors, this kind of country was very depressing, because they did not have the slightest desire to fight. They could only take a beating without retaliating. What did this mean?
This kind of 'cowardly' country should have been destroyed very quickly. On the contrary, the Ming Country had a history of thousands of years. Other than the three big countries, Da Xia, Tian Luo and Zi Jin, the Ming Country had the longest history. Furthermore, the number of strong warriors that appeared in the Ming Country was also incalculable. Even the talents of the three big countries, Da Xia, Tian Luo and Zi Jin, could not be compared to the Ming Country … The Ming Country's territory kept shrinking, but the number of strong warriors kept increasing. In the eyes of the foreigners, the Ming Country was a joke. Although the Ming Country had more than one Innate Ranker, they were invaded by a country that did not have any Innate Rankers. Furthermore, they did not retaliate after the invasion … For some reason, the Ming Country, which had been one of the top ten countries in the Soaring Dragon Continent for the past hundred years, suddenly disintegrated. The various City Lords and Lords all became independent. In the end, the Ming Country became a small country, with only a flourishing capital left.
Fifteen years ago, the Ming Country's capital was attacked by the allied forces of many countries, and the Ming Country perished.
The royal family of the Ming Country did not seek the protection of the three big countries, nor did they have any thoughts of reviving their country. They were taken away by the Innate Rankers of the country, and their whereabouts were unknown.
Yue Yang had seen this part of history before, and felt that the Ming Country was very strange. How could there be people with such a good temper, just taking a beating without retaliating?
Furthermore, how could this kind of country continue to exist?
Just like the Da Xia Kingdom or the Tian Luo Kingdom, even the Emperor would stand up and risk his life for a small matter. The Heavenly Imperial Guardians would even threaten to destroy the other party, but the Innate Rankers of the Ming Country did not even mention anything about taking revenge or reviving their country. Could it be that those Innate Rankers were made of tofu?
If the Ming Country's ruling philosophy was not good, then how could it continue to exist for a thousand years?
If it wasn't for the sudden disintegration, the Ming Country would probably still be one of the top ten countries in the Soaring Dragon Continent. Furthermore, its economy would definitely be the most prosperous one.
In these hundred years, what actually happened that caused the Ming Country to disintegrate?
What happened fifteen years ago that caused the Ming Country to perish? Yue Yang felt that there must be some kind of reason behind it. It might even be related to him, no, it should be related to the pitiful guy, because the pitiful guy's parents had passed away fifteen years ago …
Could it be that the pitiful guy's real identity was related to the perishing Ming Country?
Yue Yang remembered the diary that the pitiful guy's parents had left behind. There must be some information recorded in the diary. Maybe he could find out the truth, and find out the mystery of the pitiful guy's identity. He could also deduce why there were so many Rankers joining hands to assassinate a shut-in who lived in the depths of White Stone City!
Thinking about this, Yue Yang suddenly wanted to take a look at the diary …
