1571 Kongling Island (2/2)

Thus, Zhang Ruochen guessed that they were still waiting outside the Truth Godly Palace.

As soon as he exited the cultivation room, Zhang Ruochen saw a second-tier disciple of the Truth Godly Palace standing outside. He seemed to be waiting for him.

That second-tier disciple was an Absolute Saint. Seeing Zhang Ruochen walk out, he smiled. ”I am Feng Yezi, a second-tier disciple of the Truth Godly Palace. I am waiting for Crown Prince Ruochen as per my master's order.”

Crown Prince Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen was quite interested in this name.

It was evident that the other had searched his background and knew that he was the crown prince of the Sacred Central Empire.

”Who is your master?” he asked.

”Feng Yan,” Feng Yezi said.

Zhang Ruochen wasn't surprised. ”Did you see the other cultivators from Guanghan Field?”

”My master already invited them to visit Kongling Island three days ago,” Feng Yezi said.

Zhang Ruochen didn't know whether the other was friend or foe, so he went on alert. ”Where is Kongling Island?”

”Crown Prince Ruochen, please follow me.”

Feng Yezi smiled and went down the steps, leading the way.

There was no other choice. Mu Lingxi and the others had already gone to Kongling Island. Zhang Ruochen had to go even if it was a trap.

However, he believed that a disciple of the Truth Godly Palace wouldn't attack him in the Truth Heavenly Domain. If news of it spread, it would definitely ruin the reputation of the Truth Godly Palace.

Kongling Island wasn't too far from the palace. It was an island that hovered in the sky.

If one stood on the island and looked at the Truth Godly Palace, the palace seemed to be very close.

The Rules of Saintly Way are extremely active within 10,000 miles of the Truth Godly Palace, Zhang Ruochen thought. Since he can have such a hovering island in this area, Feng Yan must not be a simple man. I must research him when I return.

A majestic pavilion loomed in the center of the island. Pagodas and towers were distributed around the pavilion. All sorts of divine medicine and flowers were planted too.

In addition, there were servants dressed in white tending to the medicine in the gardens. They were young and looked clean and pretty. They were all Saints.

Those who could be servants here couldn't be average. If this was in Kunlun's Field, only the Saintess of an ancient sect could qualify.

From afar, Zhang Ruochen could hear a battle. Feeling nervous, he immediately sped up.

There was a saint martial field on the east of the pavilion.

Right now, there were two figures dueling in it. One of them was Feng Yan.

He stood in the center of the martial field and saintly power crashed within him like ocean waves. His body was like a mountain standing in the ocean. No matter how aggressive the other's attack was, they couldn't harm him at all.

”The Extreme Yin Nether Ice is indeed powerful, but Lady Lingxi, your power isn't condensed. It's hard to threaten me. If you comprehend the Rules of Truth, you'll become even stronger.

”The origin feather of the Ice and Fire Phoenix is indeed powerful, but you haven't completed Phoenix Dance Nine Skies yet. The origin feather is only the strongest when combined with a completed Phoenix Dance Nine Skies.”

…

While dueling, Feng Yan was actually giving Mu Lingxi advice, pointing out where she was lacking and telling her how to improve.

Zhang Ruochen stood on the side of the martial field, quietly watching the two who were dueling and talking.

For some reason, this normal conversation about the Saintly Way gave him an indescribable feeling.

This feeling was a bit odd.

Zhang Ruochen was never a closed-minded person, but he felt uncomfortable seeing another young man teach Mu Lingxi how to cultivate.

Is it because I care too much? Or because I've lost too much and don't want to lose more?

Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, working hard to force away that odd feeling. This emotion shouldn't belong to him.

Because he had too many thoughts. he actually didn't notice that Mu Lingxi had already walked over to him. A lovely laugh sounded in his ears. ”Zhang Ruochen, what are you thinking about? How come you're studying the Saintly Way no matter where you are?”

Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes again to look at that beautiful face. Her smile was mischievous. Like the stars in the sky, she could light up the darkest and loneliest night.

”Xingling.”

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were dazed and he uttered those two syllables involuntarily. Then, catching Mu Lingxi by surprise, he actually opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

Tightly.

Mu Lingxi was surprised. As if shocked by lightning, her expression was dazed.

Because Zhang Ruochen hadn't called her ”Xingling” in a long time.

And…Zhang Ruochen had actually taken the initiative to hug her. This was unimaginable!
