That old friend was naturally Li Sheng’s mother.
However, it is completely different from what the world thinks.
Li Sheng's mother is still alive and well, and her appearance and temperament are even better than before.
But Duanmu Rui had absolutely no interest in her.
What he really can't forget is the innocent girl of her twenties, the most beautiful hope and yearning left in his memory.
Instead of that married woman who has already married and even has children.
The beautiful figure of that year will forever remain in Duanmu Rui's memory. He must cut it off in order to break through the shackles of his mind and pursue his next realm.
But unfortunately, this seemingly very simple thing has troubled him for more than 20 years and he has never succeeded.
But as time went by, he invested more and more emotions in that beautiful figure, and it became more and more difficult to cut off ties with her.
"If I don't break through within three years, I will be trapped in the Holy Realm forever!"
"The only hope lies in Li Sheng!"
Duanmu Rui sighed secretly. His only hope now was to use his disgust and disappointment towards Li Sheng to make him cut off the beautiful figure from that year.
This extremely important sacred treasure is enshrined in the ancestral tomb of the Jiuyan Dynasty, and it is even related to the rise and fall of the entire Jiuyan Dynasty.
This thing has been guarded by Duanmu Rui and the ancestor of the dynasty in turn for many years.
There is no other way. The strong people in the Saint Realm also need to practice, and guarding this thing also requires energy, so Duanmu Rui was given such authority.
"senior!"
Duanmu Rui's figure directly broke through the space and appeared in a hidden altar.
He bowed towards the altar, and a small flame suddenly lit up on the altar.
"I found a place for you to visit. You may want to stay there for a few days."
Duanmu Rui spoke respectfully, and a faint flame flashed by, as if a little baby girl was flying away in the air wrapped in the flames.
"I don't know if there is anyone in the entire Tianyuan Continent who can subdue this innate fire spirit!"
Watching the other party leave, Duanmu Rui sighed, with some longing and helplessness in his eyes.
This is the biggest secret of the Jiuyan Dynasty. The ancestors back then found nine kinds of top-level exotic fire, fused them together, and created an innate fire spirit!
That was undoubtedly the most glorious era of the Jiuyan Dynasty, which suppressed the entire Tianyuan Continent.
Unfortunately, even an innate fire spirit will grow old.
In other words, this so-called plasma life is very similar to the birth, aging, sickness and death of humans.
The old fire spirit was annihilated and sank into silence within its body, and then this new innate fire spirit was born from Jiuyan's body.
Unfortunately, it had long lost all its memories. Although it accepted the offerings from the Jiuyan Dynasty, it would not help them.
Thus, the Jiuyan Dynasty raised a living ancestor in vain, and had to worry day and night that she would be unhappy one day and burn down the entire Jiuyan Dynasty!
Over the years, the person closest to this innate fire spirit is Duanmu Rui.
Because Duanmu Rui allowed her, she left Jiuyan's real body behind and went out for some fun.
But there is still a long way to go before we can subdue this innate fire spirit.
Because this is a real, mature innate fire spirit, which possesses terrifying power to destroy the world. I am afraid that no one in the entire Tianyuan Continent can subdue her.
"Someone, inform the Emperor that the suspected sacred treasure of the nation has been lost! It's also possible that it was abducted!"
Duanmu Rui was stunned for a while, then he suddenly snorted coldly.
When the news came out, the top leaders of the dynasty panicked, but the news was blocked and most people would never know about it.
At the same time, the news that Li Xiao was not favored by the emperor and did not want to summon him at all, but was just thrown into an ordinary house at random and could not even become a rich man, had spread within the royal family.
Most of the royal family members disdained Li Xiao, but they were too lazy to continue to tangle with him because there was no point in doing so without the threat.
However, on this day, Yang Tong suddenly found Li Xiao's residence and brought an invitation.
"Mr. Zhou, why are you here too?"
Seeing that it was Zhou Xuan who came out to open the door, Yang Tong pretended to be surprised.
"I have already done it. I am the retainer of the Seventh Prince."
Zhou Xuan understood what the other party meant. This was a warning to him, but he smiled gently and directly expressed his attitude.
With his current strength, he is able to gain a foothold in this imperial city.
What's more, Li Xiao is extremely mysterious and has endless means, which makes him feel safe.
"The Fourth Princess hosted a banquet and invited the Seventh Prince to attend. This was also a way for the royal family to welcome him."
"At that time, there will be a battle of geniuses. Please come to the appointment on time, Seventh Prince."
Yang Tong looked at Zhou Xuan in surprise, not knowing what the old man was thinking, but he still handed him an invitation.
Zhou Xuan frowned and looked at him, without saying anything, but closed the door directly.
"Fourth Princess?"
Li Xiao was a little confused. He didn't understand why he had to go over when the other party was clearly targeting him.
"The Fourth Princess holds a banquet for the Heavenly Proud every year, because several years ago the Emperor promised her that she would choose her own Heavenly Proud Prince Consort."
"So, the scale of these banquets is getting bigger and bigger, and the level is getting higher and higher. Almost all the young geniuses in the entire Jiuyan Dynasty will come to show their support."
"If I don't go, I will definitely be laughed at by everyone."
Zhou Xuan frowned and explained. He didn't expect that Li Xiao had just arrived and hadn't met the emperor yet, but he had already encountered such a thing.
"Why should I be afraid of his ridicule?"
Li Xiao's face was full of disapproval. The competition for the top of the geniuses was to compete for the prince consort, and he had no interest in this prince consort.
"The Emperor will also be paying attention. If the young master can make a name for himself, perhaps..."
Zhou Xuan lowered his head to explain, and Li Xiao finally understood what he meant.
"Forget it, since they are determined to harm me, there is no point in me hiding here!"
"It would be better to go over there myself, overturn their stall, slap them in the face, and then escape from the Nine Flame Dynasty if that doesn't work!"
Li Xiao shook his head. He was originally going to say that he would rebel against the Jiuyan Dynasty, but because he was a humble and low-key person, he said he would escape.
"Since the young master is determined to make a big scene and leave the Nine Flame Dynasty, I will pack up my things and take all my savings of these years with me!"
Zhou Xuan gritted his teeth. He was now completely standing on Li Xiao's side. He made such a crazy decision after hearing what he said.
"Haha! Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If you have this mentality, then what should we be afraid of?"
