“Why are you avoiding this person?” Although he already had a vague idea of why, Yun Che still asked with a frown.
"During the last Cang Feng ranking competition, Princess Cang Yue came to watch the game in person. I don't need to elaborate on Princess Cang Yue's appearance and demeanor. At that time, Princess Cang Feng was wearing a luxurious dress and a purple-gold phoenix crown. Although she was still young, she was already the most stunning in the audience, and countless young heroes from various sects were fascinated by her, including Fen Juecheng."
"After the last Cang Feng ranking competition ended, Fen Juecheng did not return to Burning Heaven Sect immediately, but came directly to the Cang Feng Imperial City to meet the Emperor and propose to the Emperor to marry Princess Cang Yue... At that time, the Emperor did not agree, but did not refuse either. He only declined tactfully on the grounds that Princess Cang Yue was still young. In fact, the Emperor was already tempted at that time. After all, Fen Juecheng is the young master of Burning Heaven Sect and is likely to succeed the master of Burning Heaven Sect in the future. If Princess Cang Feng marries him, she will be the future wife of the master of Burning Heaven Sect. Her status is so high that it will even be higher than the position of the queen of the royal family. It is undoubtedly an excellent destination. The dispute between the crown prince and the third prince will definitely not hurt her. In fact, this will also provide the royal family with an additional layer of protection from Burning Heaven Sect... After all, Princess Cang Yue is a girl and is marrying out of the family. There is no need to worry about the Burning Heaven Sect's hands sneaking into the royal family because of this."
"Fen Juecheng also gladly accepted the emperor's attitude and vowed to marry Princess Cang Yue in this life."
"But not long after that, the news that the Third Prince Cang Shuo had borrowed the power of the Burning Heaven Sect reached the emperor's ears, making the emperor furious. The Burning Heaven Sect was willing to 'assist' the Third Prince Cang Shuo, on the one hand because of their ambition to rule the world, and on the other hand, Fen Juecheng's infatuation with Princess Cang Yue was also one of the important reasons. Because after that, the Third Prince was particularly good to Princess Cang Yue. Every time he saw Princess Cang Yue, he would try his best to persuade her to marry Fen Juecheng, so that she could enjoy a lifetime of glory and respect, and her status would be far better than that of the royal princesses. Fen Juecheng also often went in and out of the palace for various reasons, and met Princess Cang Yue under the arrangement of the Third Prince Cang Shuo, showing her kindness and expressing his feelings in various ways."
Yun Che’s chest rose and fell slightly, and he remained silent.
"The Burning Heaven Sect is so powerful that the royal family would never dare to offend it. The emperor is seriously ill and the royal family is in turmoil. Princess Cang Yue also dares not to anger Fen Juecheng. She can only shirk the responsibility and dare not refuse. Because she knows Fen Juecheng's character. He looks gentle and elegant, and has the demeanor of a noble family, but in fact he is very cunning. In order to achieve his goals, he will never hesitate to use any means. Some of his secret actions are even cruel and outrageous. If her strong refusal makes Fen Juecheng lose all his patience, it is impossible to predict what he will do."
“So, in order to get rid of Fen Jue City’s entanglement and to make up for her father’s regret, she left the imperial city and traveled around the major Xuanfu in the empire…” Yun Che said slowly, his expression was calm. Only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.
"That's right." Qin Wuyou nodded and said dully: "Yun Che, I don't know what you feel after listening to me. I have lived in the imperial city since I was a child. When Princess Cangyue was very young, I often saw her. At that time, she was like a carefree angel. After her mother passed away, she had to bear and carry more and more things, which became heavier and heavier. Almost all the ease and happiness left her. You can't imagine how sad, bitter and tired she was in her heart. You and Princess Cangyue are so close now, enjoying her beauty and elegance, enjoying her sincere concern and careful care for you... She chose you at the beginning just to realize her father's wish, and had something that could be called 'intention' for you, but now, I can see that she has real feelings for you, otherwise, she would not even send you something like the sound transmission jade in person. You enjoy everything she gives you, but have you ever thought about taking on what she shoulders and carries in her heart for her... Or, do you have such sincerity, courage and awareness?"
Yun Che did not answer.
"As I said before, if you don't have such courage and awareness, then take the initiative to distance yourself from Princess Cang Yue. The gap between your status is like heaven and earth. If others know that you two have developed feelings for each other, Fen Juecheng alone is enough to easily make you die quietly without a burial place. Although your alienation from her will make her sad, I hope you will make such a choice for her good and for your own good. I also have some understanding of your personality. With your self-esteem, I believe it is almost impossible for you to make such a choice. Even if you grit your teeth, you will not back down... But you are too insignificant now. You can't help Princess Cang Yue, you can't share anything with her, but instead make her have an extra layer of emotional concern. If you take a huge risk to support this relationship, it may be called courage, but it is definitely not bravery... In my eyes, you alienate Princess Cang Yue, which is the real courage and sincerity."
Yun Che: “…”
Qin Wuyou turned around, patted Yun Che's shoulder, and said, "I have said everything I should say. Think about it carefully. Princess Cang Yue has not dared to tell you her identity because she is afraid that you will be involved... On the other hand, it is also because you are too insignificant. If you really have enough strength, I believe she would have told you everything about her. What she needs most is a shoulder to lean on. But you... at least now, at least within ten years, you can't give her such a shoulder. On the contrary, to a certain extent, you will become a burden to her and another spiritual tie."
"I have placed the Golden Scale Dragon Pill on the table. If you successfully refine it, it will be enough to directly increase your profound strength to the third level of the True Profound Realm... Anyway, think about it carefully."
Qin Wuyou left with heavy steps. Yun Che did not see him off, but stood there in a daze for a long time.
Qin Wuyou's words were like heavy hammers, hitting Yun Che's heart fiercely.
He believed that Lan Xueruo must have a prominent status, but he was also completely confident that he was worthy of her now... Or maybe, he was arrogant and never thought that there would be someone he was not worthy of. But now, he was shocked to know that Lan Xueruo was actually the legendary Princess Cang Yue, and she was also involved in the turmoil of the Blue Wind Royal Family, and behind her, there was a huge pressure from the Burning Heaven Sect...
He defeated the inner court disciples by leaps and bounds, which was indeed impressive, and he was also very proud of himself. However, this kind of prestige was limited to the Blue Wind Profound Court, and only limited to the young generation under the age of twenty. In the circle that Lan Xueruo was involved in, his strength was so tiny that it was not worth mentioning.
Qin Wuyou was right. Lan Xueruo needed a shoulder to lean on, but such a shoulder, as insignificant as he was, could not be given at all and would only become a spiritual hindrance.
Qin Wuyou's other words were even more correct... He enjoyed Lan Xueruo's beauty and gentleness, enjoyed her constant care and concern, and even enjoyed the feeling of conquering her heart bit by bit, but he had never really shared anything with her.
"This is a world where strength is respected. Without sufficient strength, you are not qualified to talk about dignity, let alone the ability to protect the people you want to protect... Grandpa and my aunt are waiting for me to return. I don't have the ability to share what Xueruo is carrying... I just defeated a small True Profound Level 9, but I am so arrogant here. It's ridiculous... It's ridiculous."
Yun Che slowly clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and his body began to tremble slightly. After a long while, he let out a long sigh, picked up the Golden Scale Dragon Pill that Qin Wuyou had put down on the table, and with a fixed gaze, he threw it directly into his mouth.
As the Golden Scale Dragon Pill entered his body, Yun Che immediately felt strong currents of air rushing out from his chest and abdomen, flowing to the blood vessels and meridians throughout his body. Some of the currents rushed directly to his head, causing him to feel dizzy.
Such a strong drug...
Yun Che was slightly surprised. He immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, and began to practice the Great Dao Fu Tu Jue. The Great Dao Fu Tu Jue was such an advanced profound skill. However, within just four or five breaths, the heat flowing through his body gradually subsided. The unruly medicinal power became warm and peaceful. Without any guidance, it gradually integrated into his body. The profound energy in his profound veins began to roll and slowly expand...
Sunset and sunrise.
Yun Che entered into a state of meditation, and a day and a night passed quietly. When he completely absorbed the medicinal power of the Golden Scale Dragon Pill and opened his eyes, it was already noon the next day. The fluctuations of the profound energy in his profound veins had completely settled down, becoming more powerful than yesterday... Three hours ago, he had successfully ascended to the third level of the True Profound Realm.
Using pills to upgrade, although not very stable, is undoubtedly the fastest. However, pills like the Golden Scale Dragon Pill, which have extremely amazing effects, are rare in the world and hard to come by, and because the medicinal properties are too strong, there are certain risks if swallowed.
After sitting for a whole day and night, Yun Che was still wounded and hungry. Just as he was about to leave, the door was pushed open by the forgetful Qin Wuyou.
“Teacher Qin.” Yun Che immediately went to meet him, and then he noticed that Qin Wuyou’s face was not looking good, so he immediately asked, “What happened?”
"It's as expected." Qin Wuyou sighed, then took out two letters: "These are two invitations. One is from Crown Prince Canglin, inviting you to attend his 33rd birthday banquet at noon in ten days at the Crown Prince's Mansion. The other is from the Third Prince Cangshuo, inviting you to attend the beast fighting competition he will personally supervise. The time... is also noon in ten days."
