After Yi Yun returned from the Ancient Ruins Palace square, he headed straight for the Six Treasures Fey Pagoda.
"Oh? Young Master Lin has agreed to become a mercenary of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor? "The middle-aged manager was somewhat astonished when he saw Yi Yun return.
But he immediately understood. He said, "Young Master Lin, did you watch Her Highness Soft Clouds' battle with the Qiongqi beast?"
Yi Yun nodded. "That's right!"
The middle-aged manager laughed out loud as a look of pride flashed across his face. Although he felt that Yi Yun was a talent, he also felt that Yi Yun was too arrogant. He did not like Yi Yun.
He had suggested that Yi Yun watch the competition between the princes because he had the intention of dealing a blow to Yi Yun. He wanted him to know that there was always someone better out there!
Her Highness Soft Clouds was a genius. The middle-aged manager was confident that anyone who had seen Her Highness Soft Clouds' splendor would not be impressed by her.
Furthermore, Yi Yun was a hot-blooded human youth. How could a proud daughter of heaven like Her Highness Soft Clouds not be attractive to a young man like Yi Yun?
Many young geniuses had probably become mercenaries of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor out of admiration. If not, why wouldn't they choose the princes and princesses with deeper heritage?
Although it was a little humiliating to rely on such underhanded means, the situation was dire. The middle-aged manager did not bother with the trifles. After all, Her Highness Soft Clouds would not know of his schemes, so it did not matter.
Indeed, Yi Yun had been impressed by Her Highness Soft Clouds.
Seeing that everything was under his control, the middle-aged manager was very pleased. "I'm Yuchi Huo. Back then, the Treasure Fey Pagoda was indebted to Senior Blood King …"
The middle-aged manager gave a simple introduction.
Blood King …
Yi Yun guessed that the Blood King was likely Jiang Xiaorou's father.
It was unknown how strong the Blood King was.
To be indebted to a huge conglomerate like the Treasure Fey Pagoda, he had to be at the Fey Thearch realm.
However, there were strong and weak Fey Thearchs!
"So it's Senior Yuchi. I would like to meet Her Highness Soft Clouds. I wonder if it's possible?"
Yi Yun's words were within Yuchi Huo's expectations. He smiled and said, "I can recommend you, but whether you can gain Her Highness Soft Clouds' favor will depend on your strength and performance. You have to know that Her Highness Soft Clouds' Soft Clouds Mountain Manor is filled with experts. Although Young master Lin's strength is not bad, you might not be able to stand out from the crowd. In the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor, Her Highness' mercenaries are all scrambling to showcase themselves. Young master Lin, do not hold back."
Yuchi Huo said with a faint smile. Although it was said to be a warning to Yi Yun, it was more to flaunt his strength. He wanted Yi Yun to understand that he was not special, and that he should not think too highly of himself in the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor.
Yi Yun smiled and did not answer. He only wanted to see Jiang Xiaorou.
Yuchi Huo did things quickly. He burned a voice transmission talisman and reported.
With Yi Yun's status as a Royal Sealed Divine Lord that wasn't even a thousand years old, he naturally had the right to meet Her Highness Soft Clouds. If such a person were a Fey, he would be rewarded with a sizable compound.
"You're pretty lucky. Her Highness Soft Clouds is resting after the battle, so I can bring you over. If it was any other day, you would have to wait for Her Highness Soft Clouds to enter seclusion."
"Alright!"
Yi Yun nodded, but he unknowingly fell into a daze. In a blink of an eye, centuries had passed.
To really meet his sister, whom he had not seen in a long time, he felt a little uneasy for some reason.
Yuchi Huo led Yi Yun out of the Six Treasures Fey Pagoda. A carriage enveloped in flames flew over. It was pulled by four Fey beasts and was thirty feet wide. It was enough for ten people to sit side by side. It was rather spacious!
"Let's go!"
Yuchi Huo invited Yi Yun to board the carriage. The carriage driver loosened the reins and sped down the main road.
…
Meanwhile, in the Ancient Ruins Palace!
The competition between the princes had just ended. Jiang Xiaorou had spent quite some time preparing for it. She had suffered serious injuries, but compared to the Fey's powerful lifeblood recovery abilities, it was nothing.
"Your Highness."
In front of Jiang Xiaorou stood a female Fey.
She was naturally seductive and dressed casually. However, she had a stern expression and her lifeblood was extremely powerful. Clearly, she was not to be underestimated.
Many people in Heaven Fey City knew her!
She was Rain Numinous, a former follower of the Blood King. She was now in charge of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor and had the strength of a quasi-Fey Thearch.
Although she was a quasi-Fey Thearch, there was a huge difference between a quasi-Fey Thearch and a Fey Thearch. Countless people were stuck at the Fey Lord realm, unable to break through their entire lives.
"Auntie Rain." Jiang Xiaorou stood up from the cushion. She was very polite towards Rain Numinous.
"Your Highness's performance in the competition was very good. However, the Blood King has sent word that His Majesty intends to enter seclusion. In the next three years, the final crown prince will be chosen! "said Rain Numinous.
Jiang Xiaorou immediately opened her eyes.
Three years?
Jiang Xiaorou knitted her brows slightly.
Jiang Xiaorou was extremely talented. If she was given more time, she would definitely perform even more brilliantly. However, she lacked a foundation. Three years was too rushed.
"The Blood King said that it's likely Prince Tianluo's father, Frost King. He wants to offer a rare treasure to His Majesty. With this treasure, His Majesty has greater confidence in his seclusion. This seclusion might last for centuries, "said Rain Numinous with a sullen expression.
Prince Tianluo had the deepest foundation and was the strongest. However, in terms of talent, he did not necessarily exceed Jiang Xiaorou.
"He has been targeting me all this while. From the looks of it, he has gone all out," said Jiang Xiaorou.
At that moment, a voice transmission talisman flew in and was caught by Rain Numinous.
"What's the matter?" asked Jiang Xiaorou.
"Treasure Fey Pagoda's Pavilion Elder Yuchi wishes to meet you. He says that a human Royal Sealed Divine Lord wishes to join Soft Clouds Mountain Manor and wishes to meet you. Your Highness, if you are not in the mood, please allow me to meet you, "said Rain Numinous.
Jiang Xiaorou pondered for a moment and said, "Auntie Rain, explain the situation to the guest."
Joining Soft Clouds Mountain Manor at this moment might not be a good thing. Once she failed in her bid for the throne, she still had her father's protection. Nothing would happen to her, but her mercenary might be implicated.
"Your Highness?" Rain Numinous hurriedly said. Although it was a human Divine Lord, there had to be something extraordinary about him since Pavilion Elder Yuchi had personally introduced him.
"Go ahead," said Jiang Xiaorou.
She closed her eyes again as a vibrant lifeblood force blasted out from her body.
In fact, she was not good at recruiting mercenaries. From her point of view, what was most important was her own strength …
If she could successfully break through to the Fey Thearch realm, she would not care about such things.
Rain Numinous glanced at Jiang Xiaorou and nodded gently before leaving.
Moments later, Rain Numinous returned. "Your Highness, he still wishes to meet you. He's already waiting in the living room."
Jiang Xiaorou opened her eyes and nodded. "Alright then."
She got up and casually draped on a royal robe before walking to the living room.
There was a young man in the living room.
His aura was a little gloomy and his looks were ordinary. He did not look special, but the man gave Jiang Xiaorou a baffling feeling that she could not describe.
Yi Yun looked at Jiang Xiaorou.
The moment his eyes met Jiang Xiaorou's, Yi Yun felt like time had frozen.
At that instant, all the memories surged through his mind.
Unknowingly, he felt like he had returned to the time when he first came to this world. His body was so weak that it could be blown away by a gust of wind. It was this girl who had used her frail shoulders to carry him home …
A bowl of porridge and a few plates of pickled vegetables. As there were no able-bodied men at home, they could not even fill their stomachs, much less practice martial arts.
Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun felt his eyes sting.
As for Jiang Xiaorou, she looked at Yi Yun with increasing hesitation.
She clearly did not know this person's face, but …
At that moment, Yuchi Huo bowed at Jiang Xiaorou and said, "Your Highness Soft Clouds, this is the human genius I introduced. His surname is Lin and his bone age is less than a thousand years. He is now a one-sealed Divine Lord … He has the intention of joining Soft Clouds Mountain Manor and becoming Your Highness' mercenary … "
"Young Master Lin, why aren't you greeting Her Highness Soft Clouds?" Yuchi Huo was somewhat depressed. Was there a need to teach him? Ignoring the fact that he was a one-sealed Divine Lord, even if he condensed two Divine Lord Royal Seals or cultivated to the peak of Divine Lord realm, he would still need to bow to Her Highness Soft Clouds.
However, Yi Yun was standing there in a daze. Even geniuses who admired Her Highness Soft Clouds would not lose their composure the moment they met. Was this how a genius should behave?
Yuchi Huo even felt that bringing such a fellow to Soft Clouds Mountain Manor was a mistake.
Just as Yuchi Huo was about to berate him, he was surprised to discover that Jiang Xiaorou was in a daze. It was as though she was not listening to him at all.
A voice transmission sounded in her ear. And the voice was extremely familiar to her. "Sis Xiaorou … It's me, Yun 'er …"
Jiang Xiaorou's body jolted.
Yun 'er … Yi Yun!?
Jiang Xiaorou found it unbelievable, but the voice and the spiritual fluctuations were clearly unmistakable.
Why was Yun 'er here!?
Instantly, the past surged into Jiang Xiaorou's heart like a tidal wave. Countless scenes flashed past Jiang Xiaorou's mind one after another …
It was as though at that moment, the things she had been fighting for were no longer important …
Once upon a time, he was everything in her life.
Unknowingly, a crystalline teardrop dripped down from Jiang Xiaorou's beautiful eyes.
This scene landed in the eyes of Yuchi Huo and Rain Numinous. They were suddenly alarmed as they revealed looks of extreme surprise.
Just as Yuchi Huo was about to say something, he watched in disbelief as Jiang Xiaorou's figure suddenly flashed. The next moment, she had thrown herself into the arms of the human male!
Yuchi Huo immediately stared with widened eyes. This is …!?
"Yun 'er!"
Jiang Xiaorou did not make a sound. Her spiritual fluctuations resounded in Yi Yun's mind.
Her rationality told her that Yi Yun had changed his appearance and surname before coming here. Furthermore, he had transmitted his voice to her, so she should not be so rash in acknowledging Yi Yun. However, her heart was in turmoil. She could no longer control her emotions.
"Sis Xiaorou …"
Yi Yun and Jiang Xiaorou embraced each other. At that moment, all the sounds in the world seemed to disappear. There was only the two of them left in the world.
All these years, he had experienced countless battles. He had walked the line between life and death numerous times. And back when he was extremely weak, the familial love and warmth he felt in the Cloud Wilderness was the last piece of pure land in his heart …
