However, he did not expect her to appear in the Misty Monarch's Palace so easily. He had been searching the world for more than three hundred years and thought that he would never be able to find her again.

He also knew what he was doing, and only wanted to get an answer. However, how could he let him succeed? Back then, even if he had risked his life, he shouldn't have let Yu'er enter the palace. Otherwise, she wouldn't have died in the palace.

His eldest daughter had disappeared just like that for more than three hundred years, and yet, he was unable to find her. For more than three hundred years, he did not dare to stop for even a day because he was afraid that he would never be able to see her again.

He had once felt hopeless, especially when Yu'er had died. If it wasn't for his child, he would have followed her.

But now, his daughter had appeared, and even had such a graceful and elegant appearance. It was unknown just how much suffering she had endured in the past three hundred years.

He was the one who came out empty-handed, unable to find her even after searching all over the place. In the end, she was the one who came out herself.

But now, she had finally returned.

Regardless of whether she was the third prince or the master of this Thousand Empire Mountain, he was already satisfied.

”Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang!” She waved at Prince Chong, who seemed to be deep in thought.

Prince Zhong came back to his senses and helplessly said, ”Look at me. It's easy to be lost in thought when you're old. It's useless when you're old!”

”…”

Yun Duan didn't think that he was old at all. Even though he had white hair on his temples, his spirit was clearly better than that of Emperor Chen.

”Don't be ridiculous, Uncle Wang. In this world, who doesn't know that there is an unparalleled weight that weighs on the Thousand Empire Mountain? Back then, you relied on your own strength to wipe out the land and take back the world. You are the hero of the Thousand Empire Mountain!”

Prince Chong smiled and patted Yun Duan's hand. ”Your mouth is so sweet!” With a change in his tone, he said with some heartache: ”You should have found a good person at this age to live a good life, yet you have to shoulder the greatest responsibility in this world. Uncle Wang feels the hardships of such a small arm and calf for you!

Yun Duan's eyes suddenly turned red. It wasn't as if she hadn't heard these words in the past few years. However, when she heard it from Uncle Wang, it made her heart sour.

She also thought about how she was still that pure and happy Third Princess, and she also wanted to find someone she liked and live a good life. However, she didn't have that kind of life, so she could only carry everything on her shoulders like a man, because this was the path she had to walk. The day that she died, the day that Rui was thrown into the fire, the day that she was imprisoned in that desolate mountain and suffering, she was already destined to never be able to return.

No one gave her a chance to turn back, so she could only force herself to move forward.

Only Changfeng, who had been silent all this time, saw the wisp of water vapor in Yun Duan's eyes. His heart couldn't help but flinch and he even felt some pain.

”If there's nothing else in the palace, you can stay for the evening meal before returning!” Prince Chong turned his head away from the cloud and patted her hand.

”The snow is falling harder and harder. Your daughter's body is no match for a man's. You need to wear more clothes everyday, do you understand?”

Yun Duan curled her lips and said with a hoarse voice, ”Yes, I know!”

During dinner, Uncle Wang gave Yun Duan a few chopsticks. Yun Duan never thought that this Uncle Wang would be so intimate with her and that she would always feel a sense of familiarity with him.

They ate slowly and Yun Duan was full. When they got into the carriage, Prince Chong said with a smile, ”If there's a day when I have nothing better to do, I'll go to the palace and tell you some interesting stories about my years on the road!”

Yun Duan nodded. ”Yes, I will come again if I have the time. I hope that Uncle Wang does not find me annoying at that time!”

Prince Zhong laughed as he shook his head. ”How could I be annoyed!”

He turned his head to look at his son who was standing by the side and said, ”Changfeng, take the clouds back with you. This snowy road is very slippery. Furthermore, her identity is different now. We must send her safely!”

”Yes, father!”

Yun Duan did not refuse, but Changfeng got into the carriage.

Prince Chong watched as the car disappeared from sight before slowly turning around with a smile on his weather-beaten face. Good, good, I've found her.

In the carriage, only Changfeng looked at Yun Duan and said after some thought, ”Father is very happy today!”
