"Speak. Has there been any changes in Ice Moon City while I was gone?" Although the Fifth Prince had gone to Ice Moon City, he didn't dare to be careless about the situation in Ice Moon City. Now was the most crucial moment in the fight for the throne.
The guard said, "Your Highness, while you were gone, the First Prince and Second Prince were very active. They often met privately with ministers who support them, and even some ministers who support you. Also, Miss Bing Yun from the Ice God Tower is currently in Ice Moon City. "
"What? Miss Bing Yun is in Ice Moon City? "Hearing the name Bing Yun, the Fifth Prince's eyes lit up. Others might not know much about Bing Yun, but he knew that Bing Yun, who was known as Thousand Illusions, was the Ice Goddess Priestess' favorite disciple. The Ice Goddess Priestess doted on this disciple very much. Moreover, Bing Yun also had the rare Innate Domain. She was very likely to become the next Ice Goddess Priestess. Although the Fifth Prince was drooling over Bing Yun's beauty, he hoped to get Bing Yun's support even more. After all, although the Ice God Tower behind Bing Yun wasn't easy to control, the Ice God Tower was the symbol of a guardian in the Ice Moon Empire. If he had their support, then there would be no doubt that he would inherit the throne.
"Yes, Miss Bingyun has already been in the city for more than ten days. However, her actions are very strange. She only came into contact with the members of the Ice God Tower in the city once, but she has been staying in a small inn that isn't famous. There is also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl and a man with her."
The fifth prince furrowed his brows. He knew that the women from the Ice God Tower were very repulsed by men. He couldn't help but feel a trace of unease when he saw a man beside FrozenCloud. "Alright, you can leave. Pass down my order, speed up and return to Ice Moon City immediately. "
Just as the Fifth Prince entered Ice Moon City, Nian Bing, dressed in plain clothes, was waiting for someone in a private room in Ice Moon City's most famous Hongbin Restaurant.
The door of the private room opened, and a handsome man with a cold aura walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw Nian Bing, and the cold aura on his body instantly melted. He said in surprise, "Nian Bing, it's actually you who wanted to see me."
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Please take a seat, Your Highness the Seventh Prince." The person who came was Yan Feng. These days, Nian Bing had been secretly arranging the Blood Lion Cult's secret operations. He was not in a hurry to see Yan Feng. When he knew that the Fifth Prince would return to Ice Moon City today, he asked Xue Yu for help and called Yan Feng out.
Yan Feng smiled bitterly and said, "What 'Your Highness' or 'Your Highness'? I'm just a prince in name. Ah! What happened to your hair? Why did it turn white? "
Nian Bing shook her head and said, "No, you are the genuine Seventh Prince. My hair is fine. It's just an accident. It doesn't affect me much. "
Yan Feng gave Nianbing a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you're really good! You even defeated Qianhuan Bingyun. Later on, when I looked for you, you were nowhere to be found. I didn't expect that we would meet again here. No wonder Xue Yu asked me to come here. You know Xuejing, so it's normal to ask her sister for help. Why, do you need something from me? "
Nian Bing nodded and said, "There is indeed something. However, let's eat something first. I heard that Hongbin Restaurant is more famous than Qingfeng Restaurant. The dishes here should be very good. I've already ordered their most famous dishes. Of course, I'm very poor, so you'll have to pay the bill in the end. "
Yan Feng laughed and said, "That's easy. Nian Bing, there's something I've always wanted to ask you. Do you treat me as a brother? "
Nian Bing said, "Of course, haven't we always been friends?" Although she said so, in her heart, she thought, 'It's fine to treat you as a brother, but don't have any other thoughts.'
"Then why do you avoid me so quickly every time you see me? It's as if you're avoiding me. "
Seeing the light in Yan Feng's eyes, Nian Bing sighed softly and said, "How do you want me to say this? If I say it's a coincidence, would you believe me? The first time we met was in Ice Snow City. At that time, I wasn't avoiding you, but you were summoned back to Ice Moon City. The second time we met was in the Huarong Empire. At that time, I didn't participate in the final of the cooking competition. It wasn't because I didn't want to participate, but because I was chased and forced to not participate. Now that I think about it, I'm still a little scared. At that time, I almost lost my life. The last time we met was in Du Tian City. Although I also represented the Ice Moon Empire, there was a deep hatred between me and the Ice God Tower. At that time, you were with the people from the Ice God Tower. The situation was very complicated. After I won the championship, the woman I loved was suddenly taken away. I didn't even have time to talk to you before I went to save my girlfriend. If you think that I'm purposely avoiding you, I have nothing to say. "
Yan Feng looked deeply into Nian Bing's calm eyes. After a while, he sighed softly and said, "Then I misunderstood. Actually, even if you're purposely avoiding me, it's fine. I know. Who would really treat me as a friend? "
Nian Bing naturally understood the hidden meaning in his words, but he didn't say anything. At that time, the dishes were already on the table. Nian Bing didn't order a lot of dishes, only four dishes and a soup. However, every dish was extremely exquisite and whetted one's appetite.
"Come, Brother Yan. Let's talk while we eat." With that, Nian Bing picked up the chopsticks first.
Yan Feng smiled faintly and said, "Nianbing, if I'm not wrong, you must have come looking for me for something. If there's anything, just say it. Even though you might not treat me as a friend, I definitely treat you as one of mine. To be honest, you've always been very mysterious in my heart. Outstanding magic, exquisite culinary skills. You should be a few years younger than me, but you're much more outstanding than me. "
Nian Bing said, "Then do you want to hear my story?"
Yan Feng was a little surprised, "Are you willing to tell me?"
Nian Bing smiled, "I don't need to hide anything from my friends. Actually, I'm not originally from the Ice Moon Empire. I was born in a big family in the Huarong Empire. However, I didn't have a childhood. There's one thing that's very similar to us. Although our backgrounds are good, we're not happy. In comparison, I'm more unlucky than you. That's because, since the age of ten, I've been living in hatred. " Then, he calmly recounted his childhood and the complicated relationship between his parents in detail. However, he didn't mention anyone's name in the process. He continued until he finished his apprenticeship with Cha Ji.
After listening to Nian Bing, Yan Feng's eyes flashed with cold light. Brother, I didn't expect your childhood to be so unfortunate. Who is your enemy? If I can help you, I'll definitely help you. “
Nian Bing lightly shook his head, "Brother Yan, I can't tell you who my enemy is yet. The revenge of my parents is absolutely irreconcilable. As a child, I must avenge my parents with my own hands. I do have something to ask of you today, but it has nothing to do with revenge. I've finished my story. Can you let me listen to yours? I can see that although you're a prince, you don't live a happy life. If you have something in your heart, you'll feel better if you tell me. "
Yan Feng lightly sighed, "Brother, since you're so honest with me, I have nothing to hide. Indeed, I'm not happy being a prince. I'm even worse than an ordinary person. Although my parents were always there when I was young, compared to Mo's childhood, my experiences weren't much better than yours. You also know that my Imperial Father has a total of seven sons. Among them, the First Prince and the Second Prince were born of the Empress. The other princes, as well as my older sisters and younger sisters, were all born of concubines in the harem. Only I am not. To be honest, it was an accident that I was able to come to this world. That was because my father was drunk and unintentionally slept with my mother, who was a palace maid. He didn't expect that after that, I would be born. "At this point, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.
After a pause, Yan Feng continued, "Later, because of me, my mother was made a concubine. Of course, it was the lowest kind. You can't imagine the filth in the harem. My mother sacrificed a lot for me. According to the Ice Moon Empire's rules, as long as you're a prince, you have the possibility of inheriting the throne. With one more prince, there would naturally be one more person competing for the throne. For her two sons, the Empress and Concubine Ru, the mother of the Fifth Prince, would naturally ostracize the other concubines for her son. Other than my mother, the other concubines more or less had some background. Although they were bullied, it wasn't serious. My pitiful mother was only a palace maid. Other than the day she gave birth to me, she never saw my father again until she died. My mother had a hard life. Everyone in the harem could bully her. At that time, I was still young and didn't have the ability to protect my mother. Seeing my mother become haggard and weak day by day, I wanted to grow up quickly so that I could protect her. However, my mother died before that day came. According to the people in the harem, my mother committed suicide by jumping into the lake. However, I knew very well that my mother's death wasn't like that. Behind her death, it was the Empress, Concubine Ru, and the others' conspiracy. Without my mother's protection, it would be easier for them to deal with me. That year, I was only eight years old. "At this point, Yan Feng subconsciously clenched his fist. The chopsticks in his hand silently broke.
Nian Bing took a piece of tissue and handed it to Yan Feng whose eyes were red. He didn't say anything and just waited for Yan Feng to continue.
"Nian Bing, do you know why I have such a special hobby? I wasn't born with it. It was forced by those sluts! From the day my mother died, their conspiracy began to be used on me. However, I was a prince after all. Even if I didn't have any status, I was still one of the future heirs to the throne. They didn't dare to harm my life but used despicable methods to harm me in the dark. It wasn't that I didn't like women by nature. It was because of them that I became like this. Today, there would be palace maids sent by the concubines to my side in the name of taking care of me. However, they would show their ugly faces in front of me. They humiliated me and they even made me … "At this point, his lips trembled because of his agitation. Taking a deep breath, Yan Feng forced himself to calm down before continuing," So, from then on, I was afraid of women. I was born with a natural fear of women. Just when I was feeling extremely helpless, my master appeared. His name was Zhi Yi An. He was only twenty-one years old. He was a very handsome man. His martial arts skills were very strong. At twenty-one years old, he was close to the level of a martial arts master. He was the complete opposite of those women. He was very gentle to me and treated me very well. He taught me martial arts skills and stayed by my side every day. At that time, how could I have known that it was a conspiracy? "
Nian Bing already understood some of it. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly for Yan Feng's misfortune.
"I grew up day by day. When I was fourteen years old, my martial arts skills had a certain foundation. I was very attached to my master. He seemed to be my everything. However, on the night of my fourteenth birthday, my master actually made a move on me as a child. He was determined to take away my … "
"Bastard." Nian Bing cursed loudly, "This must be the scheme of those despicable people in the harem. They are subtly changing your mentality, right?"
Yan Feng nodded with a bitter smile and said, "Yes, but I was still young. Although I felt that it was a little inappropriate, Shi Chuan was so good to me. I didn't reject him at all. The abnormal relationship between master and disciple was maintained until I was seventeen years old. One day, my Shi Chuan suddenly and inexplicably died. I can imagine that he died because he was no longer of any use and because he knew the truth of the conspiracy. However, at that time, my personality had already changed. Even if I understood this, what use was it? Could I fight against those people in the dark? After that, I found an opportunity and moved out of the palace. I hated, I hated everyone in the palace, including my father. They were not my family, but my enemies. If there was a day when I had enough power to destroy them, I would do it without hesitation. Unfortunately, I was only the most disliked prince. Because of this special hobby, I was despised by the world. What choice did I have? I could only silently continue to live in this environment. To me, there was no chance. How I wished I could have my own friends! Nian Bing, are you willing to be my friend? Just a friend. " At this time, Yan Feng suddenly appeared very helpless. At the same time, he also appeared very helpless. The helplessness and sorrow deeply affected Nian Bing's heart. Originally, he felt a little guilty because he wanted to talk to Yan Feng about this matter. However, after hearing about Yan Feng's childhood, that guilt disappeared. He knew that what he wanted to do was not only for Ling 'er, but also to help Yan Feng.
Yan Feng, I can be your friend, or even your brother. However, you must promise me one thing. "
The sorrow in Yan Feng's eyes disappeared. He said in surprise, "Are you really willing to be my friend? Tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I will agree. "
Nian Bing said seriously, "Get rid of your bad habits. Forget all the shadows of your childhood. Face yourself and be a normal man."
Yan Feng was stunned, "But, this is not easy to change!"
Nian Bing said, "It's not that it's not easy. It depends on whether you have confidence in yourself. As long as you want to do it, you can do it. Actually, this is not difficult. As long as you truly love a girl, all problems will be solved. "
Yan Feng smiled bitterly, "That's even more impossible. This hobby of mine, under the deliberate exaggeration of those people, has long been known to everyone. Now, when the women in Ice Moon City see me, they have to avoid me. "
Nian Bing smiled, "Yan Feng, if you think of me as a brother, you can try. How is your relationship with Xue Yu?"
Yan Feng was stunned, "Xue Yu? We're good brothers! Back then, I saved her … Wow, you're asking me to chase after her? How is that possible? Although I don't fear Xue Yu as much as other women, don't forget that her father is Blood Devouring Soul Destroying Snow Soul. How could her father allow me to be with someone like me? "
Nian Bing smiled, "You don't have to tell me this. The problem can be solved. You just have to tell me. If you have to choose a girl to chase and try to change your hobby, what do you think of Xue Yu? "
Yan Feng hesitated, "If, if I really want to chase after a girl. Then, then I think Xue Yu is better. However, Yu 'er is a good girl. I'm afraid I will hurt her! Also, she has always treated me as a good brother. How can I ask her? "
Nian Bing snapped, "You're the only one who thinks that way, you idiot. Actually, when you saved Xue Yu back then, your figure was already deeply engraved in her heart. As long as you are willing to try, I can be the matchmaker. As for Marshal Xue, you don't have to worry. You have me. However, you have to promise me. If you can really be with Yu 'er in the future, you must treat her well. "
Yan Feng stared at Nianbing with his eyes wide open, "You can't be serious. You didn't ask me to come here today just because of Yu 'er, right? Yu 'er, Yu' er, she actually … No, it's possible! I'm with her. She has always treated me as a brother! "
Nian Bing snorted and said, "You're a fool. Yu 'er likes you too much and knows that you have that hobby. She is afraid of giving you pressure, so she only treats you as a brother on the surface. Wake up. When a woman is willing to learn cooking for a man, what does that mean? A woman will only do this for the man she loves the most. Yu 'er has always been waiting for you silently. Waiting for the day you change. Don't let her down. "
Yan Feng was completely stunned. He never thought that his only friend before meeting Nian Bing would fall in love with someone like him.
"Liking someone. It doesn't need a reason. In the face of love, all shortcomings will naturally be covered up. Yan Feng, if you are a man, then you should think carefully. This is your chance! If you can truly love Yu 'er, then you can completely free yourself from the Empress's trap and become a man of indomitable spirit. Don't you want to avenge your mother? Don't you want to do something for the humiliation you have suffered? Don't you want to continue doing nothing every day? Until death? A person, from the moment he is born, if he has no goal in life, then what is the difference between him and a dead person? Wake up. The matter between you and Yu 'er is the first step you have to take to become a real man. "
Yan Feng looked at Nian Bing and listened to his sharp words. His heart gradually wavered. Nian Bing had opened a door to a bright future for him. He seemed to have seen the light of dawn. In the middle of the night, he did not know how many times he had thought about what had happened to him. He thought about his mother's frightened and unwilling eyes when she died. He wanted to take revenge. He thought about it all the time. However, he knew very well that with his position in the Ice Moon Empire, it was almost impossible for him to go against the Empress and the others. However, Nian Bing seemed to have pointed out a path for him today. A path of sunshine. Xue Yu's voice and smile constantly flashed in his mind. Thinking about everything that had happened between him and Xue Yu, Yan Feng gradually believed Nian Bing's words. That's right! How could a girl be with him so often for no reason? However, all of this happened so quickly. He found it hard to accept at this moment. "Nian Bing, can you let me think about it? My heart is so messed up. "
Nian Bing picked up some delicious dishes and put them into his mouth. Although these dishes were very exquisite and tasted very good, there was nothing novel about them. Nian Bing knew that if he wanted to eat the dishes made by the real chefs of Hongbin Restaurant, he would not be able to do so with his status. He ate in Silence. He did not force Yan Feng because he knew that Yan Feng needed to think through everything on his own. Only when he truly understood and understood everything could everything continue. After hearing about Yan Feng's experience, Nian Bing decided not to force him. He would only help him walk down the path that he had already planned. This path was definitely not a bad thing for Yan Feng.
Yan Feng sat there in deep thought. He kept thinking about everything that Nian Bing had said. After a long while, when the dishes in front of him had been reduced by a third, he finally raised his head.
"Nian Bing, thank you. I know that you are doing this for my own good. Only now can I truly feel that you have begun to treat me as a friend. Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll try. Moreover, you can rest assured that unless I can marry Yu 'er in the future, I will not do anything to her. Since I have made my choice, I will try my best. I want to be a real man and completely walk out of the shadow of the past. "
Nian Bing smiled. "I was right about you. I knew that you would make this choice. Believe in yourself. This is the best choice. Yan Feng, we are now friends. "
Yan Feng smiled. He raised the teacup on the table and said, "Then let's drink with tea instead of wine." The porcelain cups in their hands clinked, making a crisp sound. After drinking the tea in the cup, Yan Feng continued, "Nian Bing, from what you said, you seem to have a very special relationship with Marshal Xue. However, regarding Yu 'er's matter, I don't want you to interfere. I don't want Marshal Xue to agree to my relationship with Yu 'er because of you. If that's the case, I can still truly stand up.
Nian Bing showed a trace of approval in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll leave everything to you. I believe that you can do your best and get Marshal Xue's approval with your own ability."
Yan Feng nodded and said, "I've been dispirited for so many years. It's time to pull myself together. I don't care about other things. But I must be a real man. "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Although you haven't done it yet, in my heart, you are already a real man. Since that's the case, I can tell you why I'm here. Today, I'm here to ask you to do me a favor. This is a request as a friend and also as a brother. "
Yan Feng smiled and said, "Just say it. Didn't I just say that as long as I can do it, I will do it. I will try my best. "
Nian Bing looked at him with deep meaning and said, "What if this matter may threaten your life? Will you still help me? "
Yan Feng frowned and said, "Nian Bing. Are you testing me? You think too little of me. When I understood everything that happened in my childhood, I didn't care about my life anymore. Maybe, death is better for me. The reason why I'm still alive is because I want to see what will happen to those despicable people. That's why I don't want to die. "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Good, you are indeed my brother. Yan Feng, do you want to see what will happen to those people? Then, why don't you go and decide their fate? Take control of everything in your own hands and take revenge with your own strength. That's the most perfect way. "
Yan Feng smiled bitterly and said, "I've thought about it. Of course, I've thought about it. But, how is that possible? You know what kind of people my enemies are. Compared to them, I'm too insignificant. Nian Bing, I know you want to help me, but, … "
Nian Bing's face darkened and said, "It seems that what you lack the most is self-confidence. Although you are alone, you still have the identity of the Seventh Prince. What about me? I'm also alone. What do I have? Do I have a noble identity like yours? No, I don't. But, my enemies are equally powerful. They are definitely not weaker than your enemies. Now, I'm not afraid to tell you that my enemy is the Ice Goddess Priestess who is known as the protector of the Ice Moon Empire. "
"What?" Yan Feng cried out in surprise, "You, what did you say? Your enemy is the Ice Goddess Priestess? "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "That's right, it's her. My mother was once the disciple of the Ice Goddess Priestess. Combined with my story, I think you already know where I came from. I'm also alone. But, I'm different from you. Even though I know how powerful my enemy is, I'm not discouraged. I've been working hard since I was ten years old. I've been waiting and enduring. I believe that one day, I'll be strong enough to destroy my enemy. My enemy is the only God Descending Master on the continent! But, I'm still working hard. What about you? What have you been doing all these years? If your mother saw your cowardly endurance and cowardly decadence, what would she think? Do you still deserve to be her son? "
Yan Feng lowered his head. A thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead. Although Nian Bing's voice was very calm, every word was like a sharp knife stabbing into the depths of his heart. He hated himself for being so cowardly. He knew that Nian Bing was right. Everything had to be fought for. If he didn't work hard, how could he know that he would succeed?
Nian Bing said, "Now, I should tell you why I've come to find you. You know that I'm from the Ice Moon Empire's Magician Guild. This time, I represented the Ice Moon Empire's Magician Guild to become the champion of the Five Nations' New Magician Competition. Because of this victory, my teacher Long Zhi appointed me as the Vice President of the Guild. I have a close female friend. You know her as well. She's Teacher Long's only daughter, Long Ling, who's known as the Gentle Girl. Ling 'er is a very gentle girl. Just like how Yu' er treats you, she has been silently giving her all for me. This time, I returned to the Ice Moon Empire not for the Magician Guild, nor for revenge, but for Ling 'er. Although my current strength has reached a certain level, I'm still very far away from revenge. I just want to give Ling 'er a happy life. However, at this time, your Fifth Brother appeared. He's the Fifth Prince most likely to inherit the throne. You're also a prince, so you should know what he went to do. "
Yan Feng's heart moved. He said, "I heard that Fifth Brother went to Ice Snow City this time. On the surface, it was to investigate the disappearance of Wise Girl Luo Rou's family. However, he secretly contacted the City Lord of Ice Snow City and the Magician Guild, hoping to get their support. My father's health is very poor now. This is the most crucial time for the fight for the throne. "
Nian Bing sneered and said, "It seems that your information isn't up to date. Your Fifth Brother didn't just go to win them over. At the same time, he also wanted them to express their stance. He went to find my Teacher Long and made a request. "
"What request?" Yan Feng asked curiously.
Nian Bing coldly said, "He wants to marry Long Ling. As a member of the royal family, you should know that this is a political marriage. My teacher knows the Fifth Prince's current position very well. At the same time, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to bring glory to the Ice Moon Empire's Magician Guild. How could he give up such a good opportunity? Therefore, he agreed to the Fifth Prince's request and decided to marry Ling 'er to him. "
Hearing this, Yan Feng couldn't help but cry out, "Then, then what about you? Miss Long Ling should like you. "
Nian Bing smiled indifferently and said, "So what? In Teacher Long's heart, how could the love between a man and a woman compare to his great wish? I won't hide it from you. If I only wanted to be with Ling 'er, I could very well elope with her. However, Ling 'er is a very filial girl. She has been with her father since she was young. Even if she was willing to leave Ice Snow City with me and elope, I know that she will definitely be happy in the future. If Ling 'er disappears, the Fifth Prince will definitely vent his anger on the Magician Guild. No matter if it's because Long Zhi used to be my teacher or because he is Ling' er's father, I can't let this happen. Therefore, I can't take Ling 'er with me. I have to do something to make this marriage disappear naturally. Before leaving Ice Snow City, I talked to Teacher Long Zhi once. I asked him to give me three months. In these three months, I must change the current situation. Therefore, I came to Ice Moon City and found you. "
