Not long after Xia Qingyue left, the room was opened again and Xiao Lingxi hurriedly stepped in. Behind her, followed Xiao Lie who also looked anxious.
“Xiao Che, you’re awake!” Xiao Lingxi almost flew over to him: “How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
Yun Che had already changed his clothes. He jumped off the bed and said with a relaxed look, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I don’t have any serious injuries. I’m just a little exhausted. I’ve slept for two days and I’ve rested enough.”
Yun Che jumped down smoothly and quickly, and his expression was normal. Xiao Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Lie walked over and said with a smile, “It’s good that you’re alright. Don’t try to be brave just to comfort us.”
Yun Che patted his chest and said confidently, “Grandpa, don’t worry. You witnessed my body’s ability to recover when we were in the Canghuo area… Have you gotten used to living here during this period of time?”
Xiao Lie smiled slightly and said sadly: "I have a good life here. It was my lifelong wish to come to the Imperial City. I didn't expect that I would not only come to the Imperial City, but also enter the Imperial Palace. The Emperor even personally received me and treated me as a distinguished guest... I would never have dared to dream of this before."
Cang Wanhe not only personally welcomed and received Xiao Lie, but also took care of everything personally. As the emperor of a country, he treated him with courtesy and even respect. He even accompanied him for three meals a day, ate state banquets, and lived next to the emperor's bedroom... Xiao Lie certainly understood that he was treated like this by an emperor because of Yun Che. Especially in the past two days, after Yun Che and Xia Qingyue defeated Ling Tianni together, Cang Wanhe treated him with more courtesy and respect than before. From the eunuchs and guards in the palace to the princes and courtiers, they were all respectful to him, and even showed flattery.
Because he is Yun Che's grandfather.
All this really seemed like a dream.
“If you like it here, how about Grandpa and Auntie stay in the Imperial City in the future?” Yun Che immediately suggested: “If Grandpa doesn’t want to, going to New Moon City is also good. I have already greeted Senior Brother Sikong from New Moon Xuanfu not long ago. Sikong Han will definitely be very happy to see Grandpa. It’s not too far from Floating Cloud City. If Grandpa is homesick, he can go back at any time.”
Yun Che's reputation had already been at its peak, and now that he had defeated Ling Tianni, he was even more likely to become the number one in Cang Feng. As his grandfather, Xiao Lie knew that no matter where he went, people there would be eager to kneel and welcome him eight hundred miles away. Xiao Lie said with a smile: "Ling Xi likes it here very much. I have been very comfortable these days. I don't want to leave for the time being. Let's talk about the future later."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A majestic and hearty laugh came from outside: "I have been having a great time talking with Brother Xiao these days. If Brother Xiao wants to leave, I will be very reluctant to let him go."
Amidst the laughter, Cang Wanhe, wearing a golden dragon robe, walked in side by side with Cang Yue. Behind him, Dongfang Xiu followed three steps away and immediately looked at Yun Che.
Today, Cang Wanhe's face is ruddy, his voice is full of energy, his eyes are clear and sharp, and even his hair, which was mostly white, has turned dark. Compared to the half-dead appearance he had on the dragon bed last month, he is completely reborn. With the abundant resources of the palace, Cang Wanhe's recovery speed is much faster than Yun Che had said before. And Cang Wanhe is grateful to Yun Che to his bones. He treats Xiao Lie with courtesy, partly because of Yun Che's influence, and mostly because of his heartfelt gratitude to him. Because Yun Che not only saved his life, but also saved the entire Cangfeng royal family.
Cang Yue rolled her eyes at Cang Wanhe's words and said angrily, "Father, Grandpa Xiao is Junior Brother Yun's grandfather. If you address him as an equal... it will mess up the order of seniority."
In terms of age, Cang Wanhe was only two or three years younger than Xiao Lie. However, after experiencing these disastrous years, he was grateful and doted on his only daughter to the core. When she said this, Cang Wanhe was embarrassed, and then laughed: "Yes, yes, Yue'er taught me that the seniority must not be messed up. This... From now on, I will call you... Senior Xiao?"
"This... this is unacceptable." Xiao Lie was immediately shocked and waved his hands quickly: "If the emperor calls me like this, it will really embarrass me."
Cang Yue smiled immediately, dragged her gorgeous phoenix dress forward, and said softly: "Junior Brother Yun, you just woke up, your body must still be very weak, you should go back to bed and have a good rest."
“No need.” Yun Che pounded his chest: “I know my body well. I’m definitely not as delicate as Senior Sister thinks.”
"Haha." Cang Wanhe laughed. "I am not worried at all about someone who can defeat Senior Sword Saint. Yue'er, you don't have to worry too much... You have been almost sleepless these past two days, and you have been coming to visit me every half an hour, which makes father very distressed."
"Father..." In front of so many people, Cang Wanhe undoubtedly revealed her true feelings without any concealment. She moaned and lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone. This gesture made Cang Wanhe and Dongfang Xiu burst into laughter.
Yun Che felt warm in his heart and smiled lightly, then suddenly raised his head and asked Cang Wanhe, “Your Majesty, Lord Dongfang, during the two days I was unconscious, did anyone break into the palace?”
Dongfang Xiu shook his head without hesitation: "I was also worried that someone would take advantage of your coma to attack you, so I was on guard, but it seems that I was worrying too much. The palace has been calm these two days, and there have been no intruders. Or maybe, because Fairy Xia has been staying in the palace, some people have ulterior motives, but they are afraid of Fairy Xia and don't have the courage to take action."
As Yun Che's reputation grew, more and more people knew about his past and the stories gradually spread. This naturally included the grudges with Xiao Kuangyun of the Xiao Sect three years ago. During the two days when Yun Che was in a coma, Dongfang Xiu was on guard against the Xiao Sect.
"However, there are quite a few who came to visit you with valuable gifts." Cang Wanhe said with a smile, "There are over a thousand sects and families, large and small, who have sent countless elixirs and treasures, which have piled up like a mountain. The huge palace can hardly find a place to store them. As the Emperor of Cangfeng, I have been on the throne for so many years, but I have never seen such a grand scene, hahahaha."
"Among them, the gifts from the Xiao clan are the most valuable." Cang Yue said slowly, "The purple veined sky crystal, purple jade gold scale cream, and red eagle black blood they sent are all treasures worth a fortune. There are also thirty kilograms of purple crystal and twenty kilograms of white black jade, which are more than what the palace has accumulated in the past few decades. In addition..." Cang Yue suddenly smiled ambiguously, "There are also three beauties who are less than twenty years old and have beautiful faces."
“What…what beauty!” Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingxi pouted her lips, stamped her feet, and said angrily, “They are clearly three ugly freaks, a hundred times or ten thousand times worse than me and Princess Sister! Xiao Che won’t even look at them! Right, Xiao Che?”
“Hmm, hmm, hmm!” Yun Che immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said with a serious face: “How can those ordinary women compare with my little aunt and senior sister! I promise not to even look at them, and let them go back the way they came... Oh, if little aunt is willing, I will give them to her as a maid.”
“Hehe, I don’t want to.” Xiao Lingxi said with a smile.
"The great gift from the Xiao Sect was personally delivered by the great elder Xiao Boyun. Xiao Boyun has not left yet, claiming that he will meet you after you wake up. Are you interested in meeting him?" Cang Wanhe said, his expression slightly complicated. In the past, when the elders of the four major sects entered the palace, they were all arrogant, and even the emperor himself was never taken seriously. He also treated them with courtesy throughout the whole process, not only without any offense. But this time, Xiao Boyun, the great elder of the Xiao Sect, was respectful after entering the palace. He was humble, polite, and amiable. The huge gap made Cang Wanhe feel melancholy... After all, this world respects power. Only absolute power can truly shock the four directions. The Cangfeng royal family, which seems to cover the entire country, has no deterrence at all in the face of absolute power.
“Is that so…” Yun Che nodded his chin and laughed: “Meet, of course I have to meet. The Great Elder of Xiao Sect came from afar with a valuable gift, how can I let him go for nothing.”
"Okay." Cang Wanhe nodded calmly: "I know a little about the grudge between you and the Xiao clan. As for how to deal with it, it depends on your own wishes... Um, oh, ahem..."
As an emperor, Cang Wanhe suddenly hesitated to speak, and became embarrassed. Yun Che moved the corners of his mouth and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, is there anything you want to tell me?"
“It’s not really an order, it’s just… it’s just… ahem…” Cang Wanhe cleared his throat and finally spoke fluently. He straightened his face and looked at Yun Che with burning eyes: “Yun Che, you saved my life. If it weren’t for you, I would have died long ago, and I wouldn’t even know how I died. Now I’ve been reborn because of you. Although the imperial family is still in turmoil, I’m already grateful to God and have nothing to be dissatisfied with. It’s just… it’s just that there’s something that’s on my mind day and night that I can’t let go.”
“The concern that the Emperor is referring to is…” Yun Che immediately had a premonition.
Cang Wanhe took a step forward, pulled Cang Yue over, and said with a face full of doting and longing: "Yue'er is my only daughter. Over the years, I have been plotted against by traitors and rebellious sons. Only Yue'er has been by my side, working hard for me, suffering all kinds of hardships, and even found you, a noble man, to save the fate of my father and daughter. My biggest wish now is that Yue'er can find her happy home... Unknowingly, Yue'er is already twenty-one. The Cangfeng royal family has been in existence for thousands of years, and there are very few princesses who are still unmarried over the age of twenty. As a father, I have not been able to eat or sleep these years. I often feel sad and wash my face with tears. I dream of finding Yue'er her ideal husband as soon as possible. If I can do so, I am willing to shorten my life by thirty years. If Yue'er can't get married this year, I will be sorry for Yue'er in this life, and after I die, I will have no face to see her mother..."
As Cang Wanhe spoke, his eyes turned red and tears were about to fall.
After Cang Wanhe finished speaking, Yun Che's face was already twitching, and his next words made him unable to resist on the spot...
"I can see that Yue'er is not polite to other men, but she cares for you and loves you deeply. If you are also interested in Yue'er, that would be the best. If Yue'er can marry you, I will be very happy even if I die immediately. If you are not interested in Yue'er... Alas, such a thing cannot be requested. Poor Yue'er has a heart as bright as the moon, but she can only live a miserable life without support. I am so sorry for her..."
