Chapter 571 - Banquet at the Top of the Tower (1/2)

Edited by Ea and Molly

“Of course, I don’t know how many people in the Nine Lands are preaching this.”

Lin Zhan involuntarily showed the longing in his heart, saying, “First, you competed with swords. Kun Mountain shattered and stars fell. Then you competed with music. A million birds turned gloomy for one, and a million ghosts cried and howled for the other. Then there was a game of chess. The sun rose and the moon fell, but the victory was difficult to distinguish. Finally, you discussed the Dao. For every day that you two talked, you would drink a single jar of Thousand-Year Wine. You climbed up to the ninety-ninth floor of the pagoda in Kun Mountain with one person playing the flute and the other dancing with the sword. The sun, moon, mountains, and rivers were dim in comparison. Finally, the two of you attracted the West Phoenix Monarch over to dance with you.”

This kind of picture was as bright as the sun and moon. It was like looking up to the mountains, but unable to match it.

Xuan Wushe suddenly raised his lips and smiled. This smile was like the breaking of a silver vase or disintegrating frost, bringing with it a spring breeze and the rejuvenation of ten thousand trees. “You only know that Feng Jingyu was attracted here by us, but you don’t know the first sentence he said when he came.”

Lin Zhan asked curiously, “What is it?”

Xuan Wushe said, “Feng Jingyu’s heart was in extreme pain. Looking at the Kun Mountain Pagoda that was destroyed by us and was about to collapse, he couldn’t wait to spew fire at us and burn us to cinders. He said, What evil did Laozi’s Kun Mountain create that it actually attracted you two careless little bastards who don’t care about anything? If you don’t fix this place and return it intact, not a single one of you will leave my West Land alive!“

Yan Tianhen, … Hahahahaha! Maomao is mighty and domineering!

Lin Zhan was stunned at first, then he became happy and couldn’t help but laugh. “So did Sovereign Xuan and King Ye stay to repair?”

Xuan Wushe snorted softly. “This Sovereign is not someone who dares to do things but dares not to take responsibility. Naturally, he had to repair them before leaving. It was nothing more than a stupid pagoda; did he really have to care that much?”

Yan Tianhen shook his head. “It must be because you two couldn’t beat Maomao at that time that you succumbed to his bullying, otherwise you would have definitely run away.”

Although the mouth said so, it was the teenagers who wanted to be romantic, which made people yearn for it.

Lin Zhan was obviously obsessed with Xuan Wushe. He said with a smile, “The Sovereign is naturally right in everything he does, and the relationship between the Sovereign and King Ye really makes people desire it. If I could get a confidant in life, I could die without regret.”

Xuan Wushe’s eyes fixed on Lin Zhan. “If one day, between this Sovereign and him, only one could survive?”

Lin Zhan was stunned. “Then Sovereign must be the one who survives.”

Xuan Wushe smiled gently and took Lin Zhan into his arms. “The prophet family, who generally divine the secrets of Heaven, said that within a hundred years, the Xuan family and Yan family will have a life-and-death battle. The winner will become the ruler, and the loser will become nothing. Yan Zhonghua and I are destined to be enemies and not friends since birth.”

Lin Zhan moved, looking at him with burning eyes. “The prophets did not name your Majesty and King Ye, so maybe it will be someone else?”

“Who else would it be but the direct successor? The first-ranked heir, except for Yan Zhonghua, there is no one else.”

“Maybe it’s the son of the Sovereign.” Lin Zhan blinked and said, “Sovereign doesn’t have to force himself to do something for the sake of this illusory glimpse of Heaven. King Ye has always treated Your Majesty with sincerity.”

No matter what Xuan Wushe thought, his expression was relieved.

Yan Tianhen knew a little about the matters of the previous generation, but he didn’t know more about it. He didn’t know whether the scene in this dream was true or not, and he didn’t understand why he was seeing these scenes.

The manager came again and bowed respectfully to Xuan Wushe. “The guests are waiting under the tower.”

Xuan Wushe said, “Invite them to come up.”

Before long, all the young and spirited disciples of the noble families came. They were dressed in luxurious clothes, embroidered with various lines, every single one looking better than the other. This was the future of the Nine Lands and the hope of Daoism.

Yan Tianhen saw Yan Zhonghua standing in the middle at a glance. His gentle and quiet temperament made him stand out from the crowd.

“Brother Wushe.” Yan Zhonghua said gracefully.

Next to Xuan Wushe, there was a table arranged in rows. With a wave of his right hand, he said, “Brother Zhonghua, please sit down.”

Yan Zhonghua sat in the position after smiling at Xuan Wushe. The others just sat down one by one. Even if they were all Divine Clan disciples, they were different in respect of each other.

Xuan Wushe was the highest-ranked among his peers, as this was the East Land. Because he was the host, he naturally sat in the dominant position. Yan Zhonghua was the first heir to the Qianyuan Dynasty, and no matter where he went, he would naturally sit in the main seat.

However, one person made a fuss.

A young man with a beautiful face looked at his position. Then he got up discontentedly and went to Yan Zhonghua to sit down cross-legged. He looked at Xuan Wushe cheerfully. “East Sovereign will not care about this shallow etiquette, will he?”

Yan Tianhen held his cheek as he stared at his dad, You Ming, who had started to make a fuss.

A woman sitting on the lower left side of Yan Zhonghua furrowed her brows and glared at You Ming. “You Ming, your position is over there. Why do you have to squeeze together with King Ye?”

You Ming raised his eyebrows. “Shuiyun Nishang, His Highness King Ye hasn’t even spoken yet. What’s your problem?”

Yan Tianhen suddenly realized.

It turned out that this delicate and charming woman was the South Land’s Sovereign. Over the years, this woman’s name has fallen a lot from You Ming’s mouth–

“That Shuiyun Nishang ah. When I chased your father before, this little girl always wanted to develop something with your father and gave me a lot of trouble, trying to sabotage me, but I didn’t give a shit.”

“Why? That’s the South Land’s Sovereign ah!”

“You’re asking why? With your father’s coquettish temperament, a person had to be super invincible and shameless to chase him successfully. Shuiyun Nishang was too thin-skinned to grab your father’s attention.”
