Chapter 344: Surprised Xue Wei (2/2)

”Unlike you, who has been chased for a long time, experienced the hardships of life, they have all been raised with a silver spoon in their mouths. They have no experience whatsoeverwhat so ever with challenging situations.”

The Emperor sighed as he shook his head. He wished that his sons could be tempered somehow, but it was impossible in the environment they lived in.

Xue Wei did not answer right away. He was quite eager to join this Ascended's Realm, but he was also a little confused as to why this Emperor trusted him so much.

Since he was unsure, he did not keep quiet and simply asked, ”I can join, but why are you so trustingsure of me?” he asked, and the Emperor gave him a long glance before he answered.

”Long ago, I had a friend of the Azure Dragon Clan,” he said. ”His name was Xiao Lei, and he was my best brother. From you, I can feel a bit of his grandness, and I trust you because of him.

”Another reason is Lan. Lan is a trickster, but he is also the strongest being in the entire world. For him to have given you a task, it is obvious that he has big expectations from you, and thus I will expect no less from the being having been chosen by Lan.”

Xue Wei could not help but wonder if this Emperor would be as supportive of Lan and Lan's mission if he knew, that the one thing he had been tasked with retrieving was the Thunder Flame Crown.

”When will this Ascended’s RealmRealm of the Ascended open?” Xue Wei asked, and the Emperor answered quite fast, ”We can open it when we want to. The original plan was to open it in a month, but perhaps that's too soon for you and your friends?”

Xue Wei, who was stunned about how fast things were happening, shook his head. ”One month is enough time to prepare,” he said decisively.

Secret realms were excellent for finding fortune and riches. It was the place to find treasures and resources, and if he could get his hands on some inheritance from an Azure Dragon, then he would be very pleased.

”How long is this realm open?” This was the only thing that Xue Wei was worried about. If they entered the realm, how long would they have to stay in there?

”It will be open for half a year,” the Emperor answered. ”from the first person enters, until they get kicked out of the realm will be half a year exactly.”

Xue Wei nodded his head while deep in contemplation. Half a year was not too bad. He could spend half a year in there, hopefully, make the princes owe him some favors and help him get his hands on the Thunder Fire Crown.

Thinking that this was his best chance, Xue Wei released a breath of bad air.

He was suddenly excited.

An unknown world was waiting for him, a challenge and a treasure hunt, half a year in another world. This was exciting for him.

”Go back to your friends, relax a little for today. Tomorrow I will hold a banquet to introduce you to my sons alongside the other geniuses of the Vermilion Bird Clan that are going to the Ascended's Realm.”

”After the banquet, you can begin preparing for the adventure. I will delegate a servant to show you around.”

Xue Wei nodded his head, cupped his hands and bowed to the Emperor in gratitude. The Emperor then waved his hand and gestured for him to retreat.

As Xue Wei left the study room, the Emperor sat still on his seat for some time. He then took out a small painting from his cabinet and looked at it with longing.

”Xiao Wu, he looks so much like you,” he muttered with a soft voice.

On the painting was a female. She was around twenty years of age and seemed very refined and elegant. Her beauty was on the celestial maiden level.

Although she was immensely beautiful, her features were very similar to Xue Wei.

”He must have been your son,” the Emperor muttered, a bit of pain was in his eyes when he thought about some painful memory.

Xue Wei was unaware of what had happened in the room after he left. A eunuch had come to find him and lead him to the rooms where his friends were waiting for him.

As he arrived, he saw that his friends had gathered in one room, all of them looked slightly uncomfortable, and hesitant as they waited for Xue Wei to return.

As Xue Wei returned, they all felt a lot more relieved, and after Xue Wei sat down, he instantly began explaining what he had heard.

”An Ascended's Realm?” Xue Fu was stunned when she heard this; her eyes were shining with excitement. She came from the Thunder Twilight Zone, but she knew a bit about ascended's realms.

”The Ascended’s Realms are a dimension which contains resources that no other place have. Their resources are much better than any other. Tthere areis also weapons, spirits, and inheritances.”

The more she spoke, the more excited the others became. Soon they had all discussed it, and Xue Wei informed them about the date they had to leave.

All of his friends suddenly felt their blood boil, and they were excited and amazed. They were going to enter a strange new world and experience a new adventure.
