Meeting an Old Friend
"I wonder if Lin Ling is a Monarch?"
Yun Yixuan suddenly asked.
Lin Ling smiled and said, "I am not a Monarch because I am unable to ignore the trifles. If I don't offend others, they won't offend me. But if they offend me, I will return it a thousand times over. From this, you can see that I don't have the Bearing of an Emperor!"
Yun Yixuan nodded and seemed to have relaxed.
Lin Ling still had a smile on his face, but there was something he didn't say in his heart. 'I might not have the Bearing of an Emperor, but my goal is to become a Martial God that surpasses the Bearing of an Emperor!'
On the surface, Lin Ling seemed to always have the Bearing of an Emperor, which made Yun Yixuan feel at ease. But he didn't know that Lin Ling's ambition and goal were even greater than his. The Bearing of an Emperor might be able to unify the kingdom, but it wasn't freedom. A Martial God that could unify thousands of kingdoms was the true carefree and unfettered!
"His Majesty the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Right at this moment, a voice echoed, which instantly silenced the entire grand hall.
The Crown Prince was the most promising martial expert to become the King of Cloud Sea. This person was the Emperor and was born with an imperial aura. He was like a god in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom.
As soon as the voice echoed, all the princes had grave expressions. Even the Third Prince withdrew his contemptuous expression.
Under everyone's gaze, a youth walked in with a large group of people. He glanced at everyone and smiled. "Apologies, His Majesty the Crown Prince has something to do and couldn't make it here. Thus, he asked me to celebrate Grandmaster's birthday!"
Everyone was silently shocked.
Only the Crown Prince didn't personally attend Grandmaster Dan Ding's birthday. From another perspective, it showed that the Crown Prince had a high temperament!
"I wonder how I should address this Lord?" Someone asked the youth.
The youth had a proud expression. Even though there were many influential figures present, he still didn't have any stage fright. "Lu Qingyun, people call me 'Danxiangzi'!"
"This child is so arrogant. He didn't greet or greet all the influential figures. He is just relying on His Majesty the Crown Prince as his backer!" Many people frowned, but when they thought of the youth's name, their eyes flickered.
Danxiangzi!
A genius in the Alchemy Dao of Ocean of Clouds City!
It was said that this child's innate talent was outstanding since he was young. He possessed a fire-elemental innate spirit body. After he was lucky enough to obtain the "Nine Scrolls of Pill Fragrance", his path of alchemy had been smooth sailing. He was young, but his experience and maturity had already surpassed many century-old alchemists!
There was even an Alchemy Tournament where he single-handedly defeated a thousand alchemists. That tournament was the famous Alchemy Smell Tournament in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom!
"It's him!"
Many people nodded. Danxiang Zi could be considered to have shocked everyone in the Pill Sniffing Competition. Who would have thought that such a talent would be recruited by His Majesty, the crown prince?
"I have long heard that Grandmaster Dan Ding is a prominent figure in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. Today, I have received the Crown Prince's favor and personally came here. My objective is to become Grandmaster Dan Ding's disciple!" Lu Qingyun looked at the silent crowd and smiled again. "If I become Grandmaster Dan Ding's disciple, then in the future, I will also be able to work together with my colleagues!"
How arrogant!
Everyone from the various factions frowned. This Lu Qingyun had the Crown Prince as his backer. He was too arrogant and condescending.
Grandmaster Dan Ding hadn't even appeared yet, and he already thought that he would become the Grandmaster's disciple. Furthermore, the King of Yun Hai had yet to be confirmed. He was even more arrogant and thought that the Crown Prince had already seized the throne. Everyone else was just like him, the Crown Prince's subordinates and colleagues!
"Isn't your distinguished self too confident?! "
Behind the Third Prince, an alchemist walked out. He naturally wouldn't allow his Majesty to be humiliated.
"You? I think you are called Liu Lingcai. Haha, a trash who can only refine third-grade elixirs is qualified to speak to me? " Lu Qingyun laughed with disdain and then shook his head disdainfully. He said to the Second Prince, "Second Prince, are these all your subordinates capable? It's not that I am looking down on you, but you are still too weak to compete with the Crown Prince for the throne! " "Arrogant!
This was arrogance. In front of everyone, he didn't give the Second Prince any face. This was extremely rare in Yun Hai City. But from another perspective, it also showed the Crown Prince's domineering aura. His subordinates were also incomparably domineering. They didn't place anyone in their eyes.
"The time hasn't come yet. Everything hasn't been decided yet. It's too early to say anything!" The Third Prince didn't get angry. Instead, he said indifferently. It was clear that he was extremely afraid of the Crown Prince.
"Haha, then let's wait and see! "
Lu Qingyun smiled faintly and strode forward. Along the way, he greeted the people with high status, but his attitude was arrogant, as if his status was higher than theirs. When he saw the second prince, he looked at the alchemist behind the second prince with disdain.
"Second Prince, no wonder the Crown Prince said that among all the competitors for the throne, the Third Prince could be considered an opponent. The Second Prince is like the other princes, pleasant to the eye but useless. At first I thought it was a joke, but now it seems that it really is the case! "Haha!
"Haha! "Haha!
Lu Qingyun laughed and walked back to his seat.
The Second Prince's face turned ugly. Being belittled in front of so many people, this had a huge impact on his reputation.
"Just a clown. Being arrogant for a short period of time can actually increase Brother Yun's prestige!" Lin Ling's calm voice sounded in the Second Prince's ears. The Second Prince nodded, and his anger dissipated a little.
"Grandmaster Dan Ding has arrived! "
Right at this moment, a loud voice rang out.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and all the princes revealed looks of anticipation.
Grandmaster Dan Ding was one of the three pillars of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. He was highly respected and was also the symbol of alchemists. If they could obtain Grandmaster Dan Ding's help, then they would be like a tiger that had grown wings!
On the surface, it looked like all the major factions were here to celebrate the birthday, but in reality, they wanted to rope in the mysterious elder.
"Haha, everyone is considerate!" "Haha!
An elder led two apprentices in with large strides. This elder had white hair and a youthful complexion. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, but upon closer inspection, he didn't seem to be that old. This was because his white hair was tinged with black, and there weren't many wrinkles on his face.
Those who were familiar with him knew that this elder was King Yun Hai's right-hand man. He wasn't even a hundred years old!
It was obvious that this elder knew alchemy, so he knew how to recuperate!
"Greetings, Grandmaster!" "Greetings!"
Everyone stood up and bowed respectfully.
Lin Ling was no exception. Although this was the first time he had met Grandmaster Dan Ding, he had seen him refine pills before. It could be said that he had helped Lin Ling a little. Thus, Lin Ling owed this elder a favor!
"No need for formalities. I, Old He, have already buried my neck in the yellow earth. I can pass on at any time. I am very happy that you are here to celebrate my birthday!" The elder was amiable and approachable, and he didn't put on any airs.
After that, the elder continued: "It's a birthday, after all. It's just for the liveliness. Sit down and have a meal. It's that simple. Men, serve the dishes!" "Yes!
