1957 The Sudden Arrival of Dark Clouds (1/2)
”No, never. The owner of Huaiyuan Palace could never be anyone's concubine!” Elder Muray looked straight into Feng Yexiao with a red face out of great fury. He didn't fear Feng Yexiao's power as a shadow knight at all; instead, he just pointed at Feng Yexiao by finger out of fury and said seriously, ”Even if I, Zhang Muray, had to die here, I would never allow anyone to insult Huaiyuan Palace!”
”Although our owner is a disciple of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, she's also the owner of Zhang Clan. Across Taixia Country, if any order from a person's sect violates the benefits of the person's own clan, it will be regarded as a reasonable order. Any disciple could refuse to accept it!” Elder Muyu said with high spirits as he watched Lan Yunxi.
However, Feng Yexiao just ignored the two furious elders of Huaiyuan Palace. After glancing at them, he fixated onto Lan Yunxi, saying, ”The 9th prince is going to ascend to the throne of Xuanyuan Emperor. Even though the concubine of the 9th prince couldn't take charge of the imperial harem in the future, she will also be a highest-ranking imperial concubine. Many women in the world dream for that position. Huaiyuan Palace shall be wise!”
'What?'
'9th prince is going to ascend to the throne of Xuanyuan Emperor?'
After hearing Feng Yexiao's words, Lan Yunxi, Elder Muray and Elder Muyu felt their hearts palpitating once.
”Huaiyuan Palace is not qualified to intervene with the disputes in Xuanyuan Hill; however, the owner of Huaiyuan Palace shall never be a concubine!” Elder Muray stuck to his opinion with the same fury.
”Yea, even Xuanyuan Emperor could make our owner as his concubine, not to mention his 9th prince!” Elder Muyu said in a muffled sound.
”What's your opinion?” Feng Yexiao asked as he watched Lan Yunxi.
”Yunxi is inauspicious. I've already prepared to stay alone for the rest of my life for the sake of Huaiyuan Palace. Thanks for your kindness, but I cannot take it...” Lan Yunxi said calmly as she lowered her head.
Lan Yunxi's father and master were both killed. Even her fiance Xuanyuan Wuji who was going to be engaged to her was also killed. Her sufferings had long been spread across Taixia Country 30 years ago. According to a fortune-teller, Lan Yunxi was so inauspicious that she would cause her husband to die. Therefore, over 30 years, none of the major clans across Taixia Country dared to propose marriage to her.
After hearing Lan Yunxi's opinion, Elder Muray and Elder Muyu finally relieved a sigh.
”You also know that you're inauspicious. It means that you've not forgotten about Elder Zhu's kindness towards you. Previously, Elder Zhu always protected you in Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Finally, she was killed by Yun Zhongzi for the protection of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Don't you want to avenge your master?”
When she heard her master Zhu Qianqian, Lan Yunxi finally revealed a grieved look. Zhu Qianqian treated Lan Yunxi like her daughter. However, she was killed by Yun Zhongzi. As for Lan Yunxi, such a strike was as painful and impressive as losing her father. She could never forget about that.
”Is there any connection between marrying the 9th prince and avenging my master?”
”Yun Zhongzi is already a sage-level knight. You could barely avenge Elder Zhu even in 200 years. Additionally, even though you could promote to a sage-level knight, you will find that Yun Zhongzi is more powerful than you. It could be said that you have no hope to avenge your master for the rest of your life. However, if you marry the 9th prince and give birth to a son, as long as the 9th prince ascends to the throne, he will have people bring Yun Zhongzi's head to you. It's tantamount to avenging your master...”
”Does the 9th prince know where is Yun Zhongzi?”
