Speaking of this, Jiang Feng suddenly realized a very peculiar blind spot.
"Sister, if there’s such a group of powerful experts watching, then why has Country Liang descended into chaos, and why did the little princess disappear mysteriously? It doesn’t make sense."
But Liu Xianzi did not even turn her head, simply turning her empty teacup upside down on the table and gracefully wiping the corner of her mouth.
"Haven’t you realized it yet?"
"You said it yourself earlier, in the eyes of those who control the upper echelons of the Cultivation World, you’re nothing more than a walking Spirit Stone—and now you’ve forgotten?"
Enlightenment dawned on him.
He finally understood that the little princess of Country Liang was the prize!
This was actually a small gathering organized by several sects, all interested in the new generation of disciples cultivated by other top sects, wanting to learn more about them, hence this probing act.
They were all equally curious about the child who possessed the Five Thunder True Method, but with so many powerful figures meeting, naturally, none wanted to let go, and since they couldn’t split the person into pieces, this drama unfolded. These old masters could not lose face, but that didn’t mean their disciples couldn’t do the job.
Furthermore, such a small-scale sparring and meet-up event always needed some stakes to make it more enjoyable, which explained why Sister was annoyed she hadn’t broken Swordmaster Peak’s rules and taken the person away directly.
Country Liang was not under the jurisdiction of Purple Cloud Palace; they really shouldn’t have gotten involved, and given Sister’s character, that was very strange. Now, he finally cracked the case.
Probably Cen Family Village, Joyful Sect, and other sects rushed over after catching wind of it, but after half a month with no sign of the missing person, what does that suggest?
It suggests the main character has not yet arrived.
So the question is, who is the main character?
Among all these young disciples, whose disciple are these old masters most curious about, most concerned with?
"Don’t tell me these immortal olds have been dragging this out for half a month just waiting for us?!"
Liu Xianzi, ignoring the youth sitting there in a daze, curved the corners of her lips into a smile, feeling that her junior brother was not too foolish, as a little reminder was all he needed to completely understand.
If not for this drama, she would have gone to Country Liang half a month ago and brought that little princess back herself.
Standing up, she shifted her bottom and went straight back to bed.
"Rest well. We set off tomorrow at noon. Don’t let them down."
One trick after another, he discovered that these old masters, in both their thoughts and schemes, were far too many; you truly couldn’t outplay them. Without leaving, he sat still, fingers interlaced, slowly untangling his thoughts in his mind.
Liu Xianzi just lay in bed, turning on her side, eyes closed.
If possible, she hoped that Jiang Feng could live a peaceful and safe life without cultivation, without realms, without pressure, without burdens.
To start a family, marry a virtuous woman, be blessed with many children, live happily for a hundred years, and die peacefully without illness—that was what she wanted most. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel✦fire.net
But she couldn’t make it happen.
From the moment Jiang Feng was born, it was destined that he must break through obstacles along the way, destined to be in the center of power struggles.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he was bound to walk this path, for his fate had been decided from the very moment he came into this world, and even this body did not belong to him but was personally crafted by the Demon Lord.
Why did the Human Emperor Yan Ruyu fall and become a Demon?
And why, even after transforming into the Demon Lord, did he still not gain the support of the Demon Race, instead being attacked by both humans and demons?
Even if he was incompetent, he should not have fallen to such a state, especially considering what she knew—Yan Ruyu was not a bad person.
"Little brother, oh little brother."
"Your intuition is a little too terrifying."
"It was only after I reached the Mahayana Realm that I understood why the Demon Night True Monarch had to die—he..."
