Dragon Empire, Soaring Dragon City.
At midnight, a shadow silently appeared in the residence of Ximen Clan. He flew like a specter, avoiding group after group of patrolling guards, and finally appeared outside the study of Clan Patriarch Ximen Nu. After that, he knocked on the door of the study with a peculiar rhythm.
"Come in." Ximen Nu's dignified voice came from the study.
"Skynet number 13 pays respect to patriarch." After entering the door, this shadow immediately knelt down on one knee and respectfully said.
Ximen Nu was still sitting in front of the desk, writing at a very fast speed, and he didn't even raise his head. After a long time, he asked: "Have you found out the whereabouts of Little Young Master?"
"Replying to patriarch, several months ago, the figure of Little Young Master was found in Light City. He registered a mercenary team and went to Huangmang plain to do an A rank mission called Lost City. Now, his whereabouts are unknown. According to the news from Light City, Little Young Master and the eldest daughter of Phoenix Clan have been in contact, and their relationship is ambiguous. Moreover, Little Young Master's strength has already reached Swords Master realm. "The shadow accurately and clearly said.
Ximen Nu's hand that was holding the brush paused, and the expression in his eyes fluctuated, then he said: "You can leave, if you have the whereabouts of Little Young Master, immediately report to me."
The shadow complied and disappeared from inside the study. After that, Ximen Nu stood up and paced back and forth inside the study, then he let out a long sigh: "Yu 'er ah Yu' er, father always thought that you were ignorant and incompetent, but I didn't expect that you actually hid so deeply."
For thousands of years, Ximen Clan had stood erect in the center of power of Dragon Empire. Their influence was deeply entangled, and a large number of officials and nobles were tied to their boat. Their secret influence was even more pervasive, covering every corner and every industry of Dragon Empire. A person's heart was infinitely big, but it was also the most difficult to satisfy. If one said that Ximen Nu didn't have any thoughts about the throne, then that was absolutely a lie. But Ximen Nu was a man of great talent and strategy. He was waiting for an opportunity, and now he saw a glimmer of hope. Because of the magician incident in Huangmang small town, the relationship between Proud Moon Empire and Nalan Empire was extremely tense. Both sides frequently transferred troops, and the trend of war was imminent.
What Ximen Nu wanted to do was very simple, as long as he poured oil on this fire to make it more vigorous, then Dragon Empire as one of the three empires would inevitably get involved. At that time, when Blue Waves Continent was in chaos, he could take advantage of the situation. He believed that relying on the influence in his hand, it was not impossible to aspire to the throne.
Ximen Nu walked to the window and sighed again. He didn't have many heirs, he only had Ximen Tian and Ximen Yu, these two sons. According to reason, the position of patriarch should be passed on to Ximen Tian, but Ximen Tian's mother was only the Miss of an ordinary family. At that time when he was young, he was also like Ximen Yu, and got the Miss of that family pregnant, so he had no choice but to take her as a concubine. Although his eldest son, Ximen Tian, was very talented, but narrow-minded, and wasn't suitable for great things.
Later, he married Dongfang clan's eldest daughter as his wife, and had Ximen Yu, this ignorant and incompetent noble young master. Ximen Nu was partial to Ximen Yu, and everyone in Ximen Clan knew this. He believed that although Ximen Yu was ignorant and incompetent all day long, but that innate noble and domineering aura was something that Ximen Yu couldn't fake. Ximen Yu was very much like him when he was young, lawless and out of control, even daring to rape a princess.
Thinking this, Ximen Nu's dignified face revealed a rare smile. This boy truly surpassed his master ah. He again thought about how Ximen Yu had secretly cultivated to Swords Master rank, moreover, he dared to enter deep into Huangmang plain to complete that mission of Lost city. He was very clear about what kind of place Huangmang plain was, and his son having such courage made him very happy. Although he was somewhat worried about his son's safety, but he believed that his son was not an unlucky person. As for the next patriarch of Ximen clan, Ximen Nu had already made a choice in his heart.
The sun was shining brightly, and a warm breeze was blowing, making people's mood couldn't help but become better.
On the official road outside Soaring Dragon City, a group of cavalry regiment escorted a luxurious carriage to a distant place. That bright blood red armor on the body of the cavalry reflected dazzling rays of light, and that dense killing intent made passersby avoid them in succession, not daring to look at them.
"Wow, who is so imposing, actually want Violent Dragon Legion's Bloody Battle Cavalry Regiment to escort them?" Passerby A trembled as goosebumps appeared on his skin due to the cold killing intent piercing into his bone marrow.
Passerby B disdainfully looked at him and snorted: "Ignorant, could it be that you didn't see the imperial family symbol on the carriage? The people inside are either princes or princesses, and only the direct relatives of imperial family are qualified to be escorted by Bloody Battle Cavalry Regiment."
"Two idiots, you don't even know this, sitting inside the carriage is Little Princess Long Ling 'er and Miss Simon Wuhen. They are going to Mea Holy Magic Academy to study." Passerby A complacently said after listening.
"Princess Long Ling 'er, don't tell me that she was raped by the young master of Ximen clan?" Passerby A asked.
Passerby B and C instantly jumped away, and had an expression as if they didn't know this fellow. Just when passerby A was baffled, he was pressed down by two soldier-like people and taken away.
As a matter of fact, gossiping about imperial family or influential clans in leisure time was nothing, but the problem was, Long Ling 'er was depressed staying in the imperial palace, and as a result, after she left the imperial palace in disguise, the entire street was talking about the matter of her being raped by Ximen Yu. This made her who was already in a bad mood even more depressed, and she unexpectedly fell ill.
So Emperor Long Zhan issued an imperial edict, anyone who talked about this matter again, regardless of who it was, would be imprisoned for ten days, moreover, they would also have to pay a fine.
In the luxurious carriage, Long Ling 'er and Simon Wuhen were sitting on each side. Long Ling 'er was as beautiful as before, merely a lot thinner. Her face was expressionless, and her eyes were as ice-cold as ten thousand years old ice. She silently leaned on the soft pillow, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Looking at the appearance of Long Ling 'er, Simon Wuhen softly sighed in her heart. Ximen Yu was truly sinful, originally full of arrogance Long Ling' er was turned into a soulless shell by him. She clearly felt that the heart of Long Ling 'er was sealed tighter and tighter. As her best friend, Simon Wuhen was also powerless.
"Long Ling 'er, what do you think of Mea Holy Magic Academy?" Simon Wuhen looked for a topic of conversation. She really didn't want Long Ling' er to become half dead and half alive like this.
Long Ling 'er raised her eyelids, and indifferently said: "How should it be."
"I heard that Fire Master Archmage Puxiusi will also personally teach, I don't know when we can reach that level." Simon Wuhen faintly smiled. She knew that as long as they talked about magic, a trace of vitality would appear in the body of Long Ling 'er.
"Definitely, one day I will surpass him." A trace of spirit appeared in the frozen eyes of Long Ling 'er. Now the only pursuit in her heart was magic, and perhaps the hatred buried deep in the bottom of her heart. Cutting that animal Ximen Yu into a thousand pieces should be her biggest wish other than magic.
Mea Holy Magic Academy was the best magic academy in Blue Waves Continent. It was established 800 years ago. Although Mea was only a small country, but Mea Holy Magic Academy however was the pride of this country. For 800 years, Blue Waves Continent had cultivated countless outstanding magicians and swordsmen. Fire Master Archmage Puxiusi was the dean of this academy. The reason why Mea Continent was able to stand tall in the frequent wars of Blue Waves Continent, Mea Holy Magic Academy played a very crucial role.
Before, Long Ling 'er and Simon Wuhen were nominal students of Dragon Empire Magic Academy, but both of them had specialized teachers, and all of them were court magicians of Archmage rank. This time, Long Ling 'er suddenly wanted to go to Mea Holy Magic Academy to study, and because Simon Wuhen was worried about her, she had no choice but to accompany her.
The luxurious carriage under the protection of Bloody Battle Knight Regiment quickly rushed forward. The wheel of time gradually moved further and further away, leaving the entire world without any misgivings on the other end of the horizon.
