The mountains are beautiful, and on one of the mountain peaks grows an ancient pine tree, beneath which sits a man and a woman.
The man's appearance was so striking it could be described as captivating. He wore a black robe, his long, jet-black hair cascading down his back, and his golden eyes gazed tenderly at the woman nestled in his arms. The woman in his arms had her hair tied back with a golden ribbon, and her beauty possessed an androgynous charm. She wore a light gold robe, and her fair skin was flushed with a rosy hue. When their eyes met, they exchanged a smile.
The sun was setting, illuminating the sea of fog with breathtaking beauty.
They embraced each other like that, as if they could stay in that embrace forever.
Ayao and the Lord of the Black Nest stood behind the couple, watching them.
Ayao looked at Gongsun Nan and Yan Tang embracing each other with great displeasure.
Suddenly, a spatial rift was torn open from a distance, and then a streak of blue light flew out from the rift.
The azure rainbow flew towards Gongsun Nan and Yan Tang. It landed in front of them, transforming into a young girl in red. The girl had beautiful features, long golden hair, and emerald eyes. She knelt before Yan Tang.
"Your Highness, save me!"
The girl said, crying.
"Who are you?" Yan Tang felt that the girl looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
“I am Princess Liuli of the Four-Winged Golden Sparrow Clan. Five hundred years ago, I met Your Highness once at Yaochi. Do you still remember me?” the girl said.
The Four-Winged Golden Sparrow Clan is said to be a vassal of the Great Sun Golden Crow Clan. After hearing Liuli mention Yaochi five hundred years ago, Yan Tang thought for a moment and remembered who the girl in front of her was. She asked, "Why did you ask me to save you?"
"My father wants me to marry someone I don't love. No one in the clan dares to disobey his orders. I, Liuli, dare to beg Your Highness to do me justice," Liuli said, crying.
Yan Tang asked her, "Whom does your father want you to marry?"
"The eldest prince of the Golden-Winged Roc clan... that prince is lecherous and violent. I've never met him before, and he's that kind of person. I don't want to marry him. Your Highness, Your Highness, please save me!" Liuli kowtowed repeatedly to Yan Tang.
Just then, another rift tore open in the sky, and a middle-aged man emerged from it, leading several people. The man was dressed in magnificent robes, his face was deep-set, his eyes gleaming, and his entire body was enveloped in celestial light. He was none other than Qingyuan, the Celestial King of the Four-Winged Golden Sparrow Clan, and also Liuli's father. Upon seeing Yan Tang and Gongsun Nan, Celestial King Qingyuan immediately bowed in respect.
"Your Highness, Young Emperor, Sword Saint," said Qingyuan Immortal King, bowing respectfully.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, save me, save me! I don't want to go back to get married, Your Highness, please!" Liuli trembled with fear upon seeing her father.
"Liuli, shut up!" The Azure Origin Immortal King unleashed his oppressive aura, glaring angrily at his daughter.
Liuli was only at the Celestial Immortal stage, and under the pressure of this Immortal King level, she immediately coughed up blood. Yan Tang looked at the pale-faced Liuli and released her own pressure. The pressure of Immortal King Qingyuan was dispersed by her pressure, and Liuli's complexion improved.
"Qingyuan, this is your own daughter. You went too far," Yan Tang said.
“Your Highness, my daughter is ill-mannered and has dared to disturb Your Highness and the Sword Saint. She deserves to die. I will take her back to the clan immediately and teach her a proper lesson,” said Qingyuan Immortal King.
"Is it true that your daughter said you forced her to get married?" Yan Tang asked.
“Your Highness, what parent doesn’t want the best for their children? I’m just helping her find a good future. When the young emperor becomes a parent himself, he will understand my good intentions now,” said Qingyuan Immortal King.
"Does the Azure Origin Immortal King think I'm young and naive?" Yan Tang asked with a smile.
"No, no, I wouldn't dare."
“Your daughter has come to me for help, I can’t ignore it. Let’s just call off her marriage to the eldest prince of the Golden-Winged Roc clan!” Yan Tang said.
Qingyuan Immortal King looked troubled: "This..."
He was somewhat displeased with Yan Tang's interference in his daughter's marriage. Yan Tang put on a stern face and said, "What? Don't my words carry any weight? Or are you going to fight me?"
"How dare I? How dare I? Since Your Highness has spoken, then let's call off the marriage." said Qingyuan Immortal King.
He glanced at Liuli with a cold look in his eyes, then turned and left with his men.
After he left, Liuli bowed to Yan Tang and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"What do you plan to do in the future?" Yan Tang asked, looking at Liu Li.
"I will not return to the Four-Winged Golden Sparrow Clan. I will find a place to cultivate in the future. The world is vast, and even mortals can survive. I am a celestial being; I cannot be worse off than them! I have no way to repay Your Highness's kindness now, so I can only keep it in my heart and hope that I will have the opportunity to repay Your Highness in the future." Liuli said, kowtowing three times to Yan Tang before taking her leave.
After Liuli left, Gongsun Nan looked at Yan Tang and said, "You really love meddling in other people's business. Now everyone thinks you are fair, just, easy to talk to, and likes to stand up for the weak. Whenever there's a problem, they love to come to you."
"However, there are so many injustices and so many pitiful people in this world, how can you possibly manage them all?"
“Of course I know what you’re saying. I don’t intend to get involved in every injustice. I only intervene when someone comes to me for help and I see their plight. We travel all over the world, and for them to find us like this is just fate. Since it’s fate, and it’s just a small matter to me, why shouldn’t I take care of it? What’s a small matter to me is a matter of life and death for others,” Yan Tang said with a smile.
