Shang Wang did not recognize the elders of Qingquan Sect, but he recognized their Taoist robes, and the other party was an elder. He disregarded his own 'amusement' of being buried and said, "I am sorry for not welcoming you properly, True Person."
“This humble Taoist is Su Yin. Your Highness Prince Shang, from now on, Feng Que will be an inner disciple of my Qingquan Sect. She will come to pack up and then return to the sect with me.”
"What?!" King Shang looked at Feng Que, who was trembling beside him. "Her? An inner disciple of the Qingquan Sect?!"
"Yes." Su Yin nodded.
"How is that possible? I have no spiritual root." Parents without spiritual root generally cannot give birth to children with spiritual root.
"What about the princess? Has she been found?" Su Yin asked.
Prince Shang looked at Feng Que, "Her mother... has passed away."
Su Yin couldn't help but look at Feng Que with pity in her eyes, "Is there anything you need to pack?"
Feng Que glanced quickly at Shang Wang, then shook his head. "There's nothing there."
The Prince of Shang seemed to only then realize he had a daughter. Looking at her face, which did resemble his own, he said, "You..."
A hint of expectation flickered in Feng Que's eyes as he timidly said, "Father."
The Prince of Shang looked at her with a complicated expression. He couldn't even remember what his daughter's name was. It seemed that Elder Su Yin had mentioned earlier that her name was Feng Que... Why didn't she have his imperial surname, Jiu Fang?
Suddenly, a memory surfaced in my mind...
The old nanny who served the princess found him and said, "Your Highness, the princess has given birth to a daughter. Please bestow a name upon her."
He was drunk at the time, and upon hearing that it was a girl, he had her sent away without giving her a name, especially a surname.
Since she wasn't given a surname, she probably wasn't included in the royal family's genealogy either... Thinking of this, Prince Shang raised his hand and slapped his forehead, wondering what foolish things he had done all these years.
Then I walked toward Fengque.
Feng Que dodged away and hid behind Su Yin.
"Your name is Jiufang Fengque," King Shang said to Fengque. "Tell your father what attribute your spiritual root is."
“Water,” Feng Que replied.
"Water?" King Shang was even more surprised, as water is a relatively rare element in the Five Elements. "How much?"
Su Yin said: "Top grade."
Prince Shang swallowed hard, his gaze toward Feng Que growing increasingly serious. Finally, he said to Su Yin, "Could you keep her for a few days? I would like to take her to see my brother, and then I will personally escort her to Qingquan Gate."
Su Yin turned to look at Feng Que behind her. "What do you think?"
Feng Que shook her head. "I don't want to go."
“Phoenix Palace!” King Shang said urgently, “You are a member of the royal family. Since you have spiritual roots, you must inform your royal uncle. Moreover, the royal family genealogy must be reviewed by your royal uncle before you can be registered.”
Feng Que hesitated for a moment and looked at Su Yin.
Su Yin said, "I also need to go to the Imperial City. That young friend with the Five Elements Spiritual Root also went there. The sect values him very much."
In any case, we must take that child with the five elements of spiritual roots into our family.
"If we run into him then, Feng Que, could you put in a good word for him and help him get into the Qingquan Sect?" The child seemed to hit it off with Feng Que at first sight.
Upon hearing that there was another child with five elemental spiritual roots, the King of Shang's eyes widened in surprise. "Five elemental spiritual roots? In my fiefdom?"
Feng Que replied softly, "His name is Yun Chen. He is the eldest son of the Yun family in Nanya Street, and a very handsome older brother."
...
Cuishan Inn.
Fu Yunchen was found by the Yun family here, along with Lu Ziyao.
Lu Ziyao relayed Yun Jizhou's words to Fu Yunchen, especially regarding Mu Run, as Yun Jizhou said she could help him find him.
Fu Yunchen didn't quite believe it, and he had no intention of going back.
This is his third day on this continent. He will be leaving in four days. If he cannot find Mu Run, he will have to wait another year.
He told the Yun family that if Yun Jizhou could find her within three days, he could grant Yun Jizhou any request.
The message was relayed back, and Lu Ziyao stayed behind to serve Fu Yunchen.
Although Fu Yunchen wanted to say that he didn't need it, he was Yunchen's study companion, and it seemed a bit abnormal not to keep him.
A convoy of cars stopped outside the Cuishan Inn.
A little girl wearing a thin veil stepped down from one of the exquisitely decorated octagonal carriages with upturned eaves.
Fu Yunchen stood by the window of his room and happened to see the convoy outside, especially the little girl and the maid supporting her, whom he recognized.
Xiao Gong helped Feng Que to another large and luxurious carriage.
Prince Shang stepped out of the carriage, saw Feng Que, and leaped down, asking, "Has Que'er been waiting long?"
"No," Feng Que replied in a childish voice.
"Let's go, Father will take you to eat something delicious." Prince Shang took her hand and walked towards the inn.
I've neglected this daughter too much in the past, but things have gone smoothly these past few days. After all, blood is thicker than water, and we're bound by kinship from birth.
Fu Yunchen stood by the window, looking at the large hand that was holding Feng Que's small hand. Suddenly, he felt a bit annoyed and found it hard to look at.
But from their conversation, it was clear that this man was Shang Wang, his face pale and emaciated from years of indulging in wine and women.
After they entered the inn, Fu Yunchen also left his room and went to the lobby to eat.
Lu Ziyao had already ordered the food for him.
He had just sat down when he heard a sweet voice call out, "Brother Yun—"
Fu Yunchen looked over and saw Feng Que. She had removed the veil from her head, revealing a delicate and charming face.
Upon closer inspection, her face shape somewhat resembles that of the Prince of Shang.
Upon hearing her shout, the Prince of Shang looked over... and at first glance, he couldn't hide his amazement.
