Chapter 244 - Ye Zhuqing's identity and background

In the courtyard, the fragrance of tea permeated the air.

There were flowers and plants outside, and birds were chirping merrily.

Cheng Shan brewed some tea for the three of them, little by little, he said: ”This old one's bones, the tea brewing is not bad, right?”

Cheng Shan first poured Ye Zhuqing a cup of tea. Ye Zhuqing handed the teacup over to Xiao Yu.

This scene shocked the two old fellows, Cheng Shan and Cheng Ling.

What the f * ck was this sprinkling of sugar!

Xiao Yu's heart throbbed uncontrollably, but he did not refuse. Instead, he lifted his teacup and took a sip of tea. Elder's tea brewing skills are incredible! ”

Cheng Shan was speechless, he then poured Ye Zhuqing another cup of tea and asked, ”Miss Ye, are you used to drinking such precious wine?”

Ye Zhuqing opened her red lips and took a sip, then said: ”Zhu Qing has already been in Fire City for a long time, so she has long since gotten used to the plain food here! The tea ceremony of the elders is very good, it can be considered to be of the highest quality. ”

Cheng Shan's mood immediately improved as he poured Cheng Ling a cup of tea.

Cheng Ling raised his hand and said, ”Miss Ye was originally from the Wealthy Class, but she came to this bitter and cold place. ”You must have put in a lot of effort!”

Ye Zhuqing said: ”The matter of the Flames Mountain is related to whether or not the Rosefinch Orb exist, and it is even more related to the direction of the national destiny of the entire empire. I think that not only me, but the entire Empire's upper echelons, and even the Nine Sects s are paying close attention to this matter! ”

Cheng Ling said: ”That's true. But didn't Miss Ye obtain the Rosefinch Orb feather before this? ”

Ye Zhuqing said unhurriedly: ”Indeed, the Rosefinch Orb feathers that have appeared in the Flames Mountain indicate that there must be a fire here. Only a Fire Elemental at the level of the Heavenly Flame was able to continue raising a fire elemental beast like the Rosefinch Orb. Otherwise, the Rosefinch Orb will not be able to live. ”

Cheng Ling said: ”That makes sense.”

Cheng Shan said: ”In that case, the Flames Mountain has two treasures. One is a Rosefinch Orb and the other is a flame. ”

Ye Zhuqing said, ”The Heavenly Flame is related to the future of all the fire attribute Xiu Mage in the entire empire. Any fire attribute Xiu Mage would dream of obtaining a 'Heavenly Flame' and becoming a top-notch fire attribute Xiu Mage. I think it's the same for you, Senior Cheng Ling. Isn't it? ”

Cheng Ling remained silent.

Ye Zhuqing said: ”If Senior Cheng Ling is able to take down the Flames Mountain's Heavenly Flame before us, then you have a large chance of suppressing Senior Gao Yang, becoming the empire's number one fire attribute Xiu Mage, and sitting in the Floating Mist Hall. Enjoy the supreme glory, and also receive the national destiny! Senior, are you not interested? ”

Cheng Shan said: ”The matter of the Flames Mountain has already caused a stir in the upper echelons of the empire, and I'm afraid the entire Imperial clan, the various Wealthy Classes, and even the Nine Sects would all enter the Flames Mountain. Even if I, Cheng Ling, covet Flames Mountain's flame, what can I do? ”

Ye Zhuqing said: ”We can cooperate!”

Cheng Ling asked: How do we cooperate?

Ye Zhuqing said: ”If you take the Heavenly Flame, I have the Rosefinch Orb!”

Cheng Shan, Cheng Ling and Xiao Yu were all shocked.

This woman has such a big mouth, she actually dared to say that you took the Heavenly Flame, I asked the Rosefinch Orb to speak so arrogantly. One had to know that Cheng Ling had just mentioned that the Flames Mountain had already garnered the attention of the entire empire. The Nine Sects and the Tang Royal families, all of the rich families were coveting it. Was it possible to obtain two great treasures from so many Wealthy Class experts at the same time?

Who would dare to boast like that?

Ye Zhuqing dared!

This was the first time Xiao Yu felt that, other than being gentle and demure, this woman was also hiding a sense of sharpness in her chest.

Cheng Ling raised his head slightly. ”Oh? Miss Ye said so arrogantly. Even though I know that you're also one of the three great inheritances of the Sacred Flame Kingdom. But I wonder which meridian you are from? ”

Ye Zhuqing continued, ”After the nation was exterminated, the families of the royal family and the families of the princes and generals were almost exterminated. Among them, one of them was the Fire Cloud Sect that was created by a general of the Kingdom of Sacred Flame. In addition, the Green Leaf and Black Rock bloodlines. I belong to the Green Leaf lineage! ”

Cheng Ling was slightly shocked, ”Rumor has it that the Qingye Faction was pulled up by the Red Sleeved Princess at the time! It belonged to the royal bloodline! This old man has heard of the inheritance of the Red Sleeved Princess for many years. But he had never seen it before! ”I never thought that I would meet a descendant from the Green Leaf Sect today!”

Cheng Shan smiled as he poured tea, ”In that case, we are all descendants of the Sacred Flame Kingdom from five thousand years ago. ”A family!”

Ye Zhuqing said slightly: ”A family is not necessarily true. Back then, when the Sacred Flame Kingdom had been annihilated, the majority of the royal family had been slaughtered. Although each had their own faction, the founders had their own interests to consider. They were never of the same mind. Otherwise, for the past five thousand years, the three branches of the Sacred Flame would not have ignored each other and gone to war on their own. ”

Cheng Ling then opened his mouth and said, ”Today, Miss Ye represented the Green Leaf Sect to my Fire Cloud Sect to discuss cooperation. but in comparison, you see my Fire Cloud Sect as a friend! ”

Ye Zhuqing said: ”To be honest, I really respect your character, Senior Cheng Ling. Twenty years ago, such a big thing happened in the Empire. With such a large number of powerful families, including the Holy Emperor and the Emperor Totem, taking action, your Fire Cloud Sect would have risked being scolded by the Emperor Totem but you still chose not to interfere. It was a testament to senior's noble character! This time, when Sir Xiao Yu joined your Fire Cloud Sect, I was even more certain that I wanted to cooperate with you. ”

Cheng Ling curiously looked at Xiao Yu for a good while before retracting his gaze, ”Xiao Yu is indeed not bad. However, are you confident that you can take the Rosefinch Orb's feathers and Heavenly Flame seeds away from the entire Totem Empire and right under their noses? ”

Ye Zhuqing said: ”Because this single Rosefinch Orb feather was taken by me from the Rosefinch Orb. Right now, only I know the location of the Rosefinch Orb and the Heavenly Flame. It's just that last time, I was still unable to shake the 'Heavenly Flames' and the 'Rosefinch Orb'. If I join hands with you and Xiao Yu. ”It's much more certain!”

Cheng Shan asked: ”Why would such a dangerous matter involve Xiao Yu?”

Cheng Ling said: ”That's right, Xiao Yu's cultivation is still very weak. Going to the Flames Mountain is too risky. ”

Ye Zhuqing said: ”If not for Xiao Yu, we wouldn't have been able to do it even if we had to!”

Cheng Ling and Cheng Shan looked at each other, unable to say anything for a long time.

Ye Zhuqing said: ”Because Xiao Yu has the seed of the strange fire in his body. Only Xiao Yu could take away the Flames Mountain's Fire Seed. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to take it away unless he was forcefully suppressed by a superior cultivator. But it's too difficult! ”

Cheng Ling was shocked once again.

Xiao Yu's body has a strange fire?!

Isn't this too overpowering?
