The Soul-Burning Flower is a highly poisonous thing that has a magical and terrifying "soul-separating" effect. It is also the only thing Yun Che can think of that can remove the Soul-Eating Life Gu. However, the number of Soul-Burning Flowers is extremely rare. The amazing degree of its "soul-separating" ability is not inferior to the concealment of the Star Hidden Grass, and its rarity is also like that of the Star Hidden Grass. There is no way that there are more than ten plants in the entire Profound Sky Continent.
"Soul-burning flower...Soul-burning flower..." Lan Xueruo repeated the name several times in a row, memorizing it firmly in her heart. Yun Che's simple words "hard to find in the world" showed how difficult it was to find it, but no matter how difficult it was, it was the only hope she suddenly grasped: "I will use all the power I can use to find the Soul-burning Flower immediately. My Blue Wind Royal Family controls the Blue Wind Empire, and no matter how hard it is to find something, we will definitely find it."
Yun Che knew that this would be the result after he mentioned the "Soul Burning Flower". After hesitating for a while, he still did not speak out to stop her. After all, this matter concerned the life and safety of her father, the emperor of the Blue Wind Empire.
At this time, the middle-aged eunuch hurriedly walked in and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Cangyue, the young master of Tianjian Villa, Lingyun, wants to see you and is now waiting in Cangyun Palace."
"Oh?" Cang Wanhe and Lan Xueruo were surprised at the same time.
“Heavenly Sword Villa?” Yun Che’s heart was moved… Just now, after listening to Cang Wanhe’s description of the amazing strength and backing of the Heavenly Sword Villa, his impression of the Heavenly Sword Villa had changed drastically. At this moment, the sudden visit of the people from the Heavenly Sword Villa caused ripples in his heart.
“Could it be that they are here to visit our father? Or…the actions of the Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Sect have prompted them to take action?” Lan Xueruo whispered.
“No!” Cang Wanhe shook his head slowly: “Unless I die, or the Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Sect interfere with my royal regime, the Heavenly Sword Villa will not take action. Calculating the time, it’s almost time. They are here to send invitations. Yue’er, you go to receive them on my behalf... Yun Che, you seem to be interested. If you are interested in the people of the Heavenly Sword Villa, go with Yue’er.”
Lan Xueruo nodded gently: "Yes, father. Do you want to mention the matter of your father being bewitched by Gu Qiuhong to the people of Tianjian Villa?"
Cang Wanhe was silent, then shook his head: "No! Don't mention this to anyone, especially Gu Qiuhong. Even if you expose him to his face, he will definitely have countless ways to justify himself. Moreover, Gu Qiuhong has a wide network of contacts, and even the four major sects are very willing to do him a favor. Although I am the emperor, I don't have the capital to break up with him."
Lan Xueruo nodded bitterly: "I understand. After sending away the guests from Tianjian Villa, I will immediately send someone to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce to find the Soul Burning Flower at all costs."
Yun Che followed Lan Xueruo to Cangyun Palace. Two people were already waiting in the palace. One looked to be around 20 years old, dressed in white without a speck of dust, with a handsome face. He stood quietly in front of a landscape painting hanging in the palace, as if appreciating the meaning of the painting. The other looked to be only 15 or 16 years old. His face was somewhat similar to the older young man, but he could vaguely see traces of childishness. He was also dressed in white, but he was not as quiet as the young man. He was walking around in the palace, looking around, as if he was very curious about everything in the palace.
Hearing the footsteps, the young man looked away from the painting. Seeing that it was Lan Xueruo, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward and bowed, "Lingyun of Tianjian Villa, greetings to Princess Cangyue."
At the same time, he turned his gaze towards Yun Che and smiled at him politely.
As the young master of Tianjian Villa, Ling Yun's status was no less than that of a royal princess, and even higher. But Yun Che did not see the slightest bit of arrogance and pride in him. Not only did he behave like a gentleman in front of Princess Cang Yue, but he also showed courtesy to even a "inconspicuous" person behind Princess Cang Yue... And these, or it could be said that they were done deliberately, but Yun Che could not see a single impurity in his eyes, which were clear and transparent, without any filth.
This is a true gentleman, definitely not a fool like Xiao Kuangyun... Yun Che secretly admired in his heart.
“Brother Yun.” Lan Xueruo also returned the greeting and smiled elegantly: “It’s been a long time since we last met. I didn’t expect that you would come in person this time.”
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Two years and six months have passed since I first saw Princess Cang Yue in the last Cang Feng ranking match. This time I came to the royal family, and I am lucky to see Princess Cang Yue again..."
As Ling Yun was speaking, the young man with him rushed up, stared at Lan Xueruo and exclaimed: "Are you the legendary Princess Cang Yue? Wow! Brother, this princess is even more beautiful than you said!"
"Xiao Jie, don't be rude!" Ling Yun immediately signaled the boy with his eyes, and then said apologetically: "Your Highness, this is my younger brother Ling Jie. He is only fifteen and a half years old this year. He is young and ignorant, and rarely leaves Tianjian Villa, so he doesn't know much about etiquette. I hope the princess will not be offended."
Ling Yun's younger brother... that is to say, this young man is also the son of the owner of Tianjian Villa. This identity is naturally very important. Lan Xueruo was about to speak when Ling Jie started to grumble in dissatisfaction: "Hey, brother! I'm almost sixteen years old, I'm already an adult, how can I be young and ignorant! Princess sister is super beautiful, I'm not wrong."
Lan Xueruo couldn't help but smile, and said half teasingly: "Little brother Ling Jie, thank you for your compliment. You are also very cute. When you grow up, you will definitely be very popular with your little sister."
Lan Xueruo's words were gentle as water, and coupled with her stunning beauty, she was enough to capture the hearts of all kinds of "little brothers" in an instant. Ling Jie had been practicing swordsmanship hard in Tianjian Villa since he was a child, and rarely went out. He had never seen a girl as beautiful as Lan Xueruo, and she spoke so gently to him. He felt his heartbeat speed up, and even his still tender face turned red. He looked at Lan Xueruo without blinking, and said absentmindedly: "Princess sister, you are not only so beautiful, but also have such a nice voice... Oh, right! Princess sister, will you marry me as my wife?"
The corners of Ling Yun and Yun Che's eyebrows twitched slightly at the same time.
If someone else said these words with an infatuated look and lustful eyes, Yun Che would not care who he was and would just give him a slap in the face... No man could stand someone flirting with his woman in front of him. But Ling Jie's expression and eyes did not have any trace of lust, only the purest love and desire of a young man who had not experienced much of the world for a beautiful girl who touched his heartstrings. This simplicity and directness without any hypocrisy made it impossible for Yun Che to dislike and hate Ling Jie.
"Xiao Jie! Stop talking nonsense! You are really offending Her Highness the Princess. If you continue to act like this, I won't take you out next time." Ling Yun pulled Ling Jie's arm and said sternly, then smiled apologetically at Lan Xueruo: "Your Highness the Princess, Xiao Jie is still young and is talking nonsense, please don't be offended."
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Ling Jie said unconvincedly, "And I've said it so many times, I'm not young anymore, don't treat me like a child anymore. I'm almost sixteen, even my dad said I can make my own decisions. I want Princess Sister to be my wife, but I'm serious, I'm not talking nonsense! Mom also specifically told me that if I see a girl I like, I must say it out loud, otherwise someone else will snatch her away. Besides, Princess Sister just said that I'm very cute, maybe Princess Sister likes me too and will agree to me right away... Princess Sister, right?"
The corners of Yun Che’s eyes twitched again. This time he could no longer remain calm. He took a step forward and said, “Little brother Ling Jie, you’d better give up. Your princess sister will never agree to your request.”
"Ah? Why?" Ling Chen turned his gaze to Yun Che, looking at him with round eyes. Ling Yun also looked at him a few more times, secretly marveling at his mysterious and unfathomable temperament. The fact that he could follow Princess Cang Yue was enough to prove that he must be extraordinary.
“The reason is very simple.” Yun Che grinned slightly: “Because your princess sister already has a man.”
Lan Xueruo opened her pink lips but said nothing. However, her head unconsciously lowered slightly, with a touching blush on her face.
"Huh? There's a man?" Ling Jie glared, then yelled in displeasure: "Who is it! Who stole my princess sister? I want to challenge him. Mom said that other things can be given up, but the woman you like must not be given up. Even if someone else has taken her away, you must take her back in the most manly way! The princess sister is the one I like, I want to defeat him and take the princess sister back."
Yun Che curled his lips indifferently, then took a step forward, took Lan Xueruo's hand, and said with a smile: "Far away in the sky, close at hand, it's me."
It was the first time that Lan Xueruo held his hand in front of outsiders, and it was also the first time that she was so intimate with a man in front of others as a princess. She was subconsciously panicked at first, but she did not break free and let him hold her gently. It was obvious that Yun Che was impulsive. Letting outsiders know about their relationship would definitely have many disadvantages, because it would most likely arouse the vigilance of Cang Lin and Cang Shuo, as well as Fen Juecheng's assassination.
She understood very well why Yun Che was so impulsive. He was defending his possession of her. Although she found it a little funny that he was jealous of a half-grown child, she was also touched and enjoyed this almost overbearing care and protection for her.
Yun Che's actions and Lan Xueruo's reaction immediately made Ling Yun's eyes condense with surprise. He knew very well that Fen Juecheng, the young master of Fentian Sect, was infatuated with Princess Cang Yue, and even swore in front of Emperor Cang Feng that he would not marry anyone else in this life. If Princess Cang Yue really loved this man, then it would undoubtedly attract Fen Juecheng's jealousy, resentment, and murderous intent.
"You?" Ling Jie looked him up and down, and just when he was about to say he didn't believe it, he suddenly saw him holding the princess's hand. His eyes suddenly widened, and he jumped up like a mad tiger cub: "You, you, you, you, you, you, how dare you hold my princess's hand! How can you be worthy of the princess? You are so weak, and you are not as pretty as me... I want to challenge you! To take my princess back."
Yun Che also immediately became angry… It would be fine to say that he was weak, but this little bastard actually said that he was not as good-looking as him. This was totally intolerable: “Challenge? Ha! I would be afraid of a kid like you who hasn’t even grown all his hair yet! What do you want to compete with? Just come at me, I will teach you a lesson!”
As soon as Yun Che said this, Ling Yun's gaze towards Yun Che suddenly became very... complicated. And in Yun Che's mind, Jasmine's voice, which was obviously gloating, also came: "Are you sure you want to compete with him? Although this person named Ling Jie is much younger than you, his profound strength cultivation is already at the third level of the Spiritual Profound Realm..."
Yun Che was shocked when Jasmine was only halfway through her words… The third level of the Profound Spirit Realm? This fifteen-year-old kid’s profound strength cultivation was actually as high as the third level of the Profound Spirit Realm!? How is this possible?
Fen Juechen, who ranked first on the Heavenly Profound Ranking of the Blue Wind Profound Palace, was only at the second level of the Profound Realm and was seventeen years old. The other two Profound Realms were both over twenty years old. And the seemingly harmless and a little cute Ling Jie in front of him... was actually a fifteen-year-old Profound Realm third level! A terrifying existence that could be called a "freak".
"That's not all! The profound skills he cultivates are extremely domineering, and the aura he vaguely releases is extremely sharp, far beyond the scope of the third level of the Spiritual Profound Realm. This is enough to prove that he is not only at the third level of the Spiritual Profound Realm, but can also challenge higher-level opponents. If you use all your trump cards, you can barely hold out for four or five encounters when you meet an ordinary third-level Spiritual Profound Realm opponent, but facing him... you are simply asking for trouble!"
