Chapter 1332: Saint Child and Princess
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The Darknorth Immortal Dynasty was a peak power of the northern regions. No one knew it's actual power level but it shouldn't be any weaker when compared to the Evergreen Immortal Empire before the internal warfare.
Such an immortal dynasty, the number of experts in the royal capital would naturally be plenty. It's only expected that Wan Qingshan would give the command to not offend people. The Skyflame City they were from was merely an insignificant speck of dust to the royal capital. An immortal-king power might be able to reign supreme in a small city but over here, any immortal kings they met, would be able to crush them with ease. The people of the Wan Clan all had looks of curiosity and excitement on their faces as they stared at their surroundings. Each and every street was as vast as dragons, exuding majesticness and prosperity. It was extremely lively as well and the people here, immortal-foundation characters were the lowest rank, seen everywhere on the street. Also there were plenty of immortal kings that wandered around as well.
Only Zhiyin who was in the sedan, was still focused on her drawing, with no distractions in her heart. It seemed like she didn't have too much interest with regards to this capital.
"Uncle Wan, there's something I can't understand." Qin Wentian spoke to Wan Zhuqing. On the journey here, the two of them were already very familiar with each other. Hence, after growing close, Qin Wentian decided to address him as Uncle Wan.
"I know what you are puzzled about. There's nothing to hide about this, you should know the temperament of Zhiyin. She is uninterested in competition of any kind and in Skyflame City, there are a few other powers as strong as our Wan Clan. It's naturally inevitable for there to be some clashes and competition. Sometimes, the conflict between juniors might blow up and the juniors would naturally engage in fights. However, this lass has never helped out before. You should understand why they are treating her like this already, right?" Wan Zhuqing shook his head with a bitter smile.
A look of understanding flashed on Qin Wentian's face, after that he could only laugh speechlessly. He actually didn't think that this might be the reason. Zhiyin was someone with high talent, but because she had never helped out in the conflicts and competition between the juniors of different clans before, she was ostracized.
"Zhiyin, you are really very special." Qin Wentian smiled at the young woman before him.
Zhiyin put down her brush. During these days, she drew many characters. There was Qin Wentian, her father Wan Zhuqing and some other unknown individuals. All of these drawings possessed a charm of their own.
"Special? Why are you all not the special ones?" Zhiyin inclined her head and replied. Qin Wentian blinked, he actually had nothing to counter.
"Yeah, we might be the special ones." Qin Wentian nodded. Zhiyin laughed and kept her drawings away.
"Why do you draw so much?" Qin Wentian asked.
"To look at them." Zhiyin replied.
"Look?" Qin Wentian was puzzled.
"Mhm, since the drawings are beautiful, I naturally want to keep them to look at them. Don't you feel that my drawing of you is very good-looking?" Zhiyin seriously asked Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian froze, and Wan Zhuqing by the side couldn't help but to laugh uproariously. A few words from this lass were actually able to cause Qin Wentian to be stumped.
"Uncle Wan, I discovered that not only does Zhiyin have a talent for cultivation, she has another plus point." Qin Wentian stared at Wan Zhuqing.
"What plus point?" Wan Zhuqing was curious.
"She has very good judgement." Qin Wentian said with a straight face.
"..."
"..."
Wan Zhuqing and his daughter mutually exchanged glances before both of them started laughing. Zhiyin turned her beautiful eyes towards Qin Wentian and smiled, "Although you are not bad-looking, your skin is a little thick."
Qin Wentian gingerly touched his own face and seriously replied, "Still okay I guess."
"Wentian, Zhiyin, both of you are pretty compatible." Wan Zhuqing was in a good mood and started joking. However, this wasn't the first time he made this joke. Both Qin Wentian and Zhiyin fell silent and the previous mood just died off…
"Cough cough, I'm merely joking." Wan Zhuqing hurriedly tried to restore the atmosphere when he saw how awkward things were. Actually, he was only casually making a remark.
"I've never been out of Skyflame City, I wonder how the royal capital is like." Zhiyin was an intelligent woman, she intentionally changed the topic, and pull the curtains of the sedan apart, glancing at the streets of the royal capital.
"If the path to the Darknorth Immortal Mountain opens, wouldn't there be countless experts rushing here to the royal capital to get the approval?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Mhm, the Darknorth Immortal Mountain opens once every ten years, and there would always be many experts coming here. However, the number wouldn't be too exaggerated as the Darknorth Immortal Mountain would always be here. Ten years is a very short period of time for those immortal kings or people who wanted to break through to the immortal king realm. Many people would only come when they feel more confident as after all, it isn't a very easy thing to achieve a breakthrough."
"True, even if I miss this time, the next batch will just be in another short ten years. However, I believe that there are many people on the same level as me here in the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty. Even if just a part of them came, the number would definitely be staggeringly huge. The royal capital would become the gathering place for geniuses from all over." Qin Wentian nodded.
"That's natural." Wan Zhuqing spoke.
"Seems like it's going to be exceedingly lively." Qin Wentian laughed.
"Mhm, in any case, back in Skyflame City, I heard that Princess Nongyue's cultivation is extremely high and she's already half-a-step in the immortal king realm, comprehending a trace of immortal king might. This means that she is also eligible for entering the Darknorth Immortal Mountain. Hence, I believe the gathering this time might be hosted by Princess Nongyue. Wentian, you will be able to see one of the most famous princesses of my dynasty this time around. It's said that she's a great beauty." Wan Zhuqing smiled.
"Beiming Nongyue?" A figure appeared in Qin Wentian's mind. He did feel good will towards this princess of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty because of Li Yufeng.
This couple was an interesting one.
"A true beauty, but she already has someone in her heart." Qin Wentian smiled.
Wan Zhuqing furrowed his brows, "Wentian, the way you speak it's like you've met Princess Nongyue before? At the very least, I've not heard that she has someone she loves. Tell me about it."
"Li Yufeng, Saint Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect." Qin Wentian laughed.
"You actually heard of the name of the Saint Child from the Hundred Refinements Sect before? Seems like I'm the ill-informed one." Wan Zhuqing naturally knew of this power. It was also a peak power of the northern regions, situated right next to the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty. As for Saint Child Li Yufeng, he wasn't very clear on him as after all, this man wasn't from the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty.
Qin Wentian saw Wan Zhuqing staring at him and couldn't help but to ask, "What's the matter?"
"You are truly good at joking, speaking like it's real, like you are really acquainted with him." Wan Zhuqing laughed. Qin Wentian blinked as he laughed as well, he didn't try to explain anything.
After all to Wan Zhuqing, regardless of Beiming Nongyue or the Saint Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect, they were all legendary characters. No matter how good Qin Wentian's talent is, he is merely a minor character. How would minor characters know stuff about legendary major characters?
"What a joke? So shameless." From outside, a mocking voice rang out. "These two, one of them thinks she's so pure and transcendent while the other is even more ridiculous, actually using the names of Princess Nongyue and the Saint Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect to elevate his status. How thoroughly shameless. Third uncle, you are really right. The two of them are truly extremely compatible for each other."
Wan Yiyao sarcastically remarked. Clearly, she has been listening to the conversation.
Wan Zhuqing's expression changed. "Yiyao, stop your nonsense."
"Third uncle, don't you feel that I'm right? You can ask the others too." Wan Yiyao coldly laughed, causing many in the surroundings to ask as well.
"Princess Nongyue and the Saint Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect? These people are dragons among humans, yet they are actually mentioned by a rat who doesn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth."
"A rat? I might not be some lofty character but I'm still better than those who eavesdrop on people." Qin Wentian smiled. "And also, no matter how I boast, what does it have to do with you?"
"You are staying with my Wan Clan, this naturally has something to do with us. To think that you actually have the face to sit in the sedan as well, truly shameless." Wan Yiyao spat.
"Yiyao, you are going too far. Wentian is my guest, this is my arrangement for him, what problem do you have with it?" Wan Zhuqing coldly spoke, at the same time patting on Qin Wentian's shoulder, indicating that he should endure it for now.
"Third uncle actually is so protective of an outsider. What more can I say?" Wan Yiyao snorted coldly.
At this moment, outside the royal capital, another group of experts entered the capital. The few people in the lead are all extremely handsome, projecting extraordinary auras. One of them was extremely handsome, and was smiling as he entered the royal capital.
"Yufeng, this time around, you didn't come here simply to enter the Darknorth Immortal Mountain, right? I heard that this time, Princess Nongyue might be the one in charge of the gathering." A young man beside him smiled, staring at Li Yufeng.
Li Yufeng's smile widened, this time around, his trip here naturally wasn't just for the sake of entering the Darknorth Immortal Mountain.
"Say something, haha are you here to propose marriage?" The person continued laughing.
"If I propose like this, would the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty agree?" Li Yufeng smiled.
"That's hard to say, maybe the dynasty would appreciate your talent and directly agree to it."
"Haha, I wish." Li Yufeng spoke.
"It's rumored that Beiming Nongyue's elder sister, Beiming Youhuang, is an absolute beauty. Sadly, she is still in the sacred academy and we have no chance to meet her. Yufeng, you saw her before, how is she when compared to Beiming Nongyue?" The person continued asking.
"If comparing beauty, Beiming Youhuang is a few shades more superior." Li Yufeng replied, he didn't bother to deny the absolute looks of Beiming Youhuang.
"I really wish to take a look. Haha." That person laughed. The group of them rode upon a supreme treasure, streaking through the air like a bolt of lightning, directly flying past the space above Qin Wentian's group.
The people of the Wan Clan inclined their heads, staring at those characters up there. They were all thinking in their hearts that these must be people from the major powers, right? The fluctuations of this treasure were so powerful.
Qin Wentian was sitting in the sedan and didn't really care about them. After all, his immortal sense might be strong but he wouldn't release it perpetually to scan his surroundings!
