Chapter 933 – One Temple Rules the World—Xining? (2/2)

The meaning of this phrase was crystal-clear. It referred to the story of the last ten-some years and of this current period of history.

Then if one looked into the future, what would they see?

If Shang Xingzhou and Chen Changsheng made amends, then together with the emperor, the three would unite their strengths. Who on the continent could stand up to the Human race then?

Even the White Emperor would undoubtedly feel a fierce apprehension and unease when looking at this teacher and his two disciples from Xining Village's temple.

It was fine if such a matter was impossible, but many people believed that the problems between Shang Xingzhou and Chen Changsheng should never have existed in the first place.

The White Emperor and other figures at his level might have even thought that the conflict between Shang Xingzhou and Chen Changsheng was a hoax created by the pair.

Chen Changsheng did not return Hu Thirty-Two's gaze, instead choosing to look back at the letter.

Shang Xingzhou had written four words at the end: 'Calmly observe these changes.'

Observation required his presence.

He said, ”We should first take care of this matter.”

Hu Thirty-Two said, ”That's only to be expected. However, it's not known when White Emperor City will convene the Heavenly Selection ceremony. Since the Li Palace is appearing, the Orthodoxy needs to quickly form a diplomatic mission.”

Chen Changsheng replied, ”The date for the Heavenly Selection ceremony probably hasn't been set, but the intent of White Emperor City is clear. Even if they can't hide this matter forever, they wouldn't want us to suddenly interfere, so they won't give us a chance to make any plans. Thus, I will go ahead first while the diplomatic mission can hurry after me.”

Hu Thirty-Two acknowledged, ”Understood.”

Tang Thirty-Six said, ”I'll return to Wenshui first.”

A great deal of the business with the demi-humans was under the purview of the Tang clan, and Wenshui City had always had an excellent relationship with White Emperor City.

This matter involved the future of humanity, so the Tang Old Master naturally wouldn't remain uninvolved. He would most likely make the appropriate arrangements.

Chen Changsheng nodded. ”I'll go first.”

At this moment, the bright cry of a crane resounded in the skies above the estate.

The winter winds howled and the trees in the courtyard swayed as the White Crane landed.

The Prince of Louyang was at the faraway atrium of the building, kneeling to show respect as Chen Changsheng departed.

Tang Thirty-Six finally couldn't help but ask, ”Why did the venerable Daoist have His Highness come to deliver the letter?”

Chen Changsheng explained, ”Last night, His Highness was spending the winter in Mount Xiao, which was closest to this place.”

Tang Thirty-Six thought to himself, this clearly isn't logical.

If the Imperial Court wanted to send a message, they could use Red Falcons, Red Geese, or even arrays to send it straight to the Prince of Luling's estate. There was no need to trouble the Prince of Louyang with this task.

Chen Changsheng knew that this reason had failed to convince him. After a moment's thought, he said, ”Master knows that I trust him more.”

Tang Thirty-Six was even more confused, wondering, why do you trust this prince famed for being a good-for-nothing?

Chen Changsheng mounted the crane and took flight, leaving no further explanation.

One man and one crane flew off into the distance, above the clouds.

The Tong River became the vague outline of a belt, the Luomei Mountains to the left and behind it like a miniature landscape.

In the far west were curling clouds and distant green mountains. He had no idea what was waiting for him there.

……

……

Green mountains protruded out of a sea of clouds, the clouds like the mist on the opposite shore of a lake or the smoke rising from the chimneys of the capital on a winter morning.

Luoluo sat on a mountain slope, gazing at the mists below, her petite body appearing somewhat fragile and delicate.

If one looked at her from the front, they would presumably get this feeling, as although her beautiful face seemed to be recollecting the past, it was still very serene.

Guardian Li watched her with pity in her eyes. In her view, the princess had been very lonely these past few years, and she was only getting lonelier.
