Inside the Seventh Princess' palace.
Ling Xian was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat that covered his face.
Luo Xin Jie was wearing the same outfit and was standing quietly behind him.
Ever since the two of them arrived at the Emperor's Millennium Capital, they have lost track of Ling Tian Xiang. Even Luo Xin Jie's tracking technique failed. Without a choice, Ling Xian had to give up his search. After asking around, he arrived at the Seventh Princess' palace to ask if Lin Qing Yi was here.
After all, seven years ago, he asked Lin Qing Yi to seek protection from the Seventh Princess. This was why he came to the Seventh Princess' palace.
It was already afternoon. Ling Xian stood quietly before the grand palace and waited for the familiar silhouette from his memory.
After a while, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared in Ling Xian's line of sight. He slowly took off his veil and revealed a relaxed smile.
The woman's skin was smooth and her eyes were clear like water. She was wearing a light green dress that wrapped around her curvy body. Like a fairy from the nine heavens, she walked over gracefully.
It was Lin Qing Yi.
There were still traces of tears on her cheeks. The moment she saw Ling Xian, her eyes were full of joy and excitement.
She didn't speak. She simply stared at the person she has been thinking about for the past seven years.
Ling Xian didn't speak either. Staring at the beauty before him, a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
Just like that, the two of them stared at each other. Their eyes were filled with warmth. Silence spoke louder than words.
After a long while, Ling Xian finally opened his mouth and broke the silence.
"Qing Yi, long time no see."
Lin Qing Yi smiled brightly, revealing her two cute dimples, "Ling … Ling Xian, long time no see."
"Time flies. In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed." Ling Xian exclaimed. He marched forward in giant steps and arrived before Lin Qing Yi, "How have you been?"
"I am fine. You, on the other hand, must have suffered a lot." Lin Qing Yi silently shed two streams of tears. Staring at the handsome young man before her, she suddenly felt surreal.
It's been seven years. There was no news of Ling Xian. No one knew if he was alive or dead. Everyone who knew him thought he was dead.
Therefore, when he appeared before her eyes, Lin Qing Yi felt a little surreal.
"It's okay. If I didn't go through all that suffering, I may not have the ability to stand before you today." Ling Xian softly grinned. Very naturally, he extended his hand and wiped away the tears from Lin Qing Yi's eyes.
This flirtatious gesture made Lin Qing Yi blush. Remembering how Ling Xian killed the two deputies, she smiled, "That's true. Compared to seven years ago, you are many times stronger. However, I am not surprised. I firmly believe that one day, you will grow into a towering tree. "
"You trust me so much." Ling Xian warmly smiled and patted Lin Qing Yi's little head, "You've been staying with the Seventh Princess these past few years. Nobody bullied you, right?"
Just as Lin Qing Yi was about to speak, a domineering voice came from not too far away.
"With me here, who dares to bully her?"
In the next instant, a beautiful woman in a golden robe walked over. Her facial features were exquisite, and she was tall and slender. As she took a light step forward, she exuded a great majestic aura. Like an empress sitting above the clouds, she was dominating and unparalleled.
The moment he saw this person, the blood in Ling Xian's body stirred. He couldn't help but to frown, "Seventh Princess?"
"That's right. You are the Ling Xian who shocked the Zhou Dynasty twice?"
The Seventh Princess raised an eyebrow, looking very heroic. Just like Ling Xian, the blood in her body was also stirring. This made her look at the young man before her suspiciously, unsure of where this strange restlessness was coming from.
"That's right. Far from shocking the Zhou Dynasty, it's more appropriate to call it chaos."
Ling Xian nodded softly, his eyes flashed with mockery. This wasn't the first time his blood was boiling. Back when he was at the House of Zi Yang on Shi Ao Island, he experienced this once.
That time, it was because he encountered the Demonic Fairy, who was ranked sixth on the ranking list, the Disorder of Yin and Yang.
Now, Ling Xian was experiencing this again. In other words, the Seventh Princess also had a type of Inner Gaze. Her rank was not low either, or else the Eyes of Execution wouldn't be stirred.
"It seems like you know what's going on." The Seventh Princess raised an eyebrow and checked out the handsome young man before her. She was getting more and more curious about Ling Xian.
"I do know." Ling Xian nodded, "But this is not a good place to talk. I am a wanted criminal. Aren't you afraid that someone will leak this information?"
"So you know you are a wanted criminal."
The Seventh Princess mocked, "You know you are a wanted criminal yet you dare to come to my palace. You sure are gutsy."
"Just so-so." Ling Xian grinned, "I know you won't tell on me."
"You sure are confident."
The Seventh Princess glanced at the ecstatic Lin Qing Yi and couldn't help but to sigh. Then, she turned around and walked forward.
"Follow me."
Hearing this, Ling Xian, Luo Xin Jie, and Lin Qing Yi marched forward and followed the Seventh Princess.
Just like that, the four of them turned left and right. After about half an hour, they arrived before a blue lake.
"Open!"
The Seventh Princess formed a mysterious seal with both her hands. Instantly, the azure lake water parted and a stone path appeared in front of everyone.
"It is no wonder this is the palace of the Seventh Princess. It is a different world." Ling Xian complimented.
"If there wasn't a secret location, I would've thrown you out a long time ago." The Seventh Princess glared at Ling Xian, "You killed two deputies. This is the biggest event the Zhou Dynasty has seen in decades. One of them was Deputy Xiao Yao. My father will not forgive you."
"That's what I expected." Ling Xian grinned.
Seeing that Ling Xian wasn't worried, the Seventh Princess's eyes flashed with strangeness, "You sure are gutsy. Follow me."
Then, she marched forward and headed into the deep end of the lake.
Seeing this, Ling Xian and the others followed.
Before long, the four of them walked down the stone steps and arrived at a palace deep inside the lake.
This place was very spacious. Other than some daily necessities, there was nothing else. It seemed like this was a hidden palace that was specially built for people to hide.
Here, the Seventh Princess's expression turned serious. She stared at Ling Xian and said in a low voice, "Okay, it is time for us to talk business."
"That's what I was thinking."
Ling Xian faintly smiled and sat down on top of a rock. He then shifted his gaze towards the Seventh Princess with high anticipation.
His business was to acquire one of the five soul healing treasures, the Wood of the Warming Soul, and to awaken the Immortal of Alchemy.
As for the Seventh Princess' business, he could more or less guess. There were only two reasons.
One was to warn him about something, two was to achieve a certain goal.
