If that Gu Qingfeng was really the Scarlet Firmament King, how great would that be!
Tang Yunhao sighed with longing in his heart. He knew very well that with the current situation of Yanluo royalty, only King Chixiao could save it.
Speaking of which.
He was friends with King Chixiao when he went to brothels with him. Not only that, even his dual cultivation partner, Ling Yan, was introduced to him by King Chixiao.
The couple had always been grateful to the Crimson Firmament Sovereign King. Whenever the two of them heard news about the Crimson Firmament Sovereign King, they would immediately rush over.
Unfortunately.
Like most Chi Xiao people, their hopes were met with disappointment time and time again.
Not to mention the King Chixiao whose real identity was unknown.
They didn't even know if the real King Chixiao was still alive.
"Mother, what if we refuse Sengoku's conferment and Sengoku uses this as an excuse to attack us …"
The one who spoke was Tang Man-ching.
Although she was young, she was more worried about the safety of Yanluo royalty than anyone else.
"My dear daughter, don't worry. As long as your father and I are here, the Yanluo royalty will not be in danger."
Ling Yan smiled faintly and comforted her daughter.
But it was just to comfort her.
In fact, she was not confident. She could have counted on Thái Tông, but after a trip to Thái Tông yesterday, except for a small number of people who supported Yanluo royalty, most people were more inclined to Sengoku. Even the attitude of the ancestors of Yan Luo was ambiguous, for fear of getting into trouble.
How could Tang Man-ching not understand her mother's comforting words?
She also knew very well how bad the situation of Yanluo royalty was now. It was not something her parents could contend with. To be precise, in the face of Sengoku, no matter how powerful they were, it was useless. Unless someone who could make Sengoku fear appeared, perhaps only then could the Yanluo royalty be resolved.
Was there anyone in this world who could make Sengoku fear?
Yes.
That was King Chixiao.
But was he still alive?
Tang Man-ching did not know.
As for Gu Qingfeng, although her great-grandfather trusted him without a doubt, Tang Man-ching did not believe him at all.
While she was worrying, suddenly, her heart palpitated slightly.
This was the sign of a signal talisman.
Everyone could refine their own talisman. All they needed to do was to fuse a wisp of their own consciousness into the talisman during the refining process. If they held another person's talisman, they could crush it and fuse a wisp of their consciousness into it. After that, the talisman would automatically return to its owner's side.
If the distance between the two parties was relatively close, the other party's consciousness would quickly detect it.
If the distance was relatively far, the signal talisman might 'float' for a while.
Of course.
If an accident happened halfway, the other party would not be able to receive the signal talisman.
This kind of situation happened from time to time. It could be said that it was very common.
But it was not absolute. This thing depended on the quality of the signal talisman and the mood of nature. At the same time, it also depended on whether the divine sense was strong enough. If the signal talisman was of good quality, the laws of nature were relatively stable, and the divine sense was strong enough, as long as the distance was not too far, the other party would be able to receive the signal talisman.
Tang Man-ching did not have many friends, and even fewer people had her signal talismans. Only two good sisters, Liuyue and Lin Xiang 'er, Chu Jiaohong of Linglong Villa, and Sister Miao of Yunchuan Garden also had them. However, Liuyue was in the cemetery, and Lin Xiang' er, Sister Hong, and Sister Miao were at the foot of Panlong Mountain. If they wanted to find her, they did not need to send a signal talisman at such a short distance. They only needed to secretly transmit their voices.
If it was not the four of them, who could it be?
After thinking about it, Tang Man-ching really could not remember who else she had sent a signal talisman to.
She sensed that the signal talisman was getting closer and closer. After a while, she saw a faint brilliance flying over like a firefly. This was Tang Man-ching's signal talisman. When she raised her hand, the signal talisman instantly appeared in her palm. After crushing it, a wisp of divine sense was transmitted to her mind.
Next to her.
Ling Yan knew that her daughter had just received the signal talisman. She also knew that her daughter was not young anymore and had her own private affairs, so she did not intend to ask. However, she found that her daughter was very surprised after receiving the signal talisman, so she could not help but ask, "Man-ching, what happened?"
"Sister Rong, she … she is rushing over."
Sister Rong?
Ling Yan asked, "Do you mean Fairy Su Yan?"
Seeing that Tang Man-ching nodded, Ling Yan asked again, "Did you call Fairy Su Yan over? Man-ching, we can't trouble Fairy Su Yan with our matters. After all, she is a member of Sengoku and the noble Messenger of the Nine Heavens. If you call her over, won't you be making things difficult for Yan Fairy? "
"Mother, I know that I can't trouble Sister Su Yan with this matter, so I never asked her."
"If that's the case, why is Yan Fairy rushing over?"
"She's here for Gu Qingfeng's matter."
"Gu Qingfeng? The man who calls himself King Chixiao? "
"Yes, it's him." Tang Man-ching nodded and explained, "Nine years ago, Gu Qingfeng killed dozens of Sengoku's nobles in the Great Northwest. Sister Su Yan personally said that Gu Qingfeng was dead, so Sengoku was willing to let it go. But now, Gu Qingfeng is alive again and has appeared in our Yan Luo Kingdom. Although his identity has not been recognized, it is only temporary. There are so many people at the foot of Panlong Mountain, so someone will definitely recognize him when the time comes."
"Mother, think about it. The news of Gu Qingfeng's death was personally announced by Big Sister Su 'Er. If everyone finds out that he's still alive, wouldn't Big Sister Su' Er be questioned by the Celestial Dynasty? I was worried about this, so I sent Sister Su Yan a message a few days ago. "
"I see." Ling Yan pondered for a moment, then asked, "What did Fairy Su Yan say to you?"
"Sister Su Yan said in the message …" Tang Man-ching frowned, as if she was in disbelief and unable to understand. She said, "Sister Su Yan said that she saw Gu Qingfeng turn into ashes nine years ago. He can't be alive, and I can feel that Sister Su Yan was very certain."
"Yan Fairy was the Fairy of the Ninth Heaven in her previous life. If she said that Gu Qingfeng turned into ashes nine years ago, then he must have turned into ashes. It can't be false."
"If that's the case, then who is this Gu Qingfeng?" Tang Man-ching opened her mouth and said in shock, "Don't tell me that guy is also pretending to be the Childe Chiyan Gu Qingfeng? Oh my god! "
Tang Man-ching's feelings at this moment were as complicated as they could be. All this time, although she did not believe that guy was the real King Chixiao, she did not doubt his identity as the Childe Chiyan. She also thought that Yan Fairy saw that he had really merged with the King's remnant consciousness and did not want this guy to die at the hands of Sengoku, so she lied about his death.
However, Tang Man-ching did not expect that Fairy Su Yan would say in the message that she did not cover up for Gu Qingfeng at all, and that she really saw him die.
Just as Ling Yan said, Fairy Su Yan was the Fairy of the Ninth Heaven in her previous life. If she said that a person was dead, then he must be dead. There was no way he could still be alive.
But … if that guy who called himself the King was not Gu Qingfeng, then who was he?
Wait!
Something's not right!
Su'Er thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that things were very confusing. A few days ago, in order to verify whether that guy was the Childe Chiyan, she specially invited Old Master Hong and the others from the Great Northwest. They had all seen the Childe Chiyan in the Great Northwest, and when they were touring the garden in Yunchuan, they all unanimously agreed that the guy was Gu Qingfeng!
Fairy Su Yan said that Gu Qingfeng was dead.
Old Master Hong said that the guy was Gu Qingfeng.
Fairy Su Yan would not lie, and Old Master Hong had no reason to lie at all.
What was going on?
