Cheng Lingyu convinced the Second Prince to take her to the Vermilion Bird Empire.
In such circumstances, being able to make the Second Prince take her along, Gu Shengyin had to admire that Cheng Lingyu indeed had skills.
However, having Cheng Lingyu under her watchful eye was a good thing for her.
Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the day of departure arrived.
The night before leaving, Gu Shengyin came to bid farewell to the Great High Priest.
"Teacher, I won’t be returning for many days. I hope you take care of your health," she kindly bowed to the Great High Priest.
The Great High Priest looked at her, speaking softly, "You don’t need to worry about me. It’s yourself you should be mindful of for safety."
Gu Shengyin nodded in agreement and, after finishing speaking, suddenly looked up and softly said, "Teacher, I can’t bear to part from you."
The Great High Priest’s expression softened, recalling that evening when the little disciple, after drinking the Drunken Immortal Dew, softly said to him, "I like you."
Ultimately, he only calmly said, "You are an adult now. You will eventually have times when you are alone."
Gu Shengyin studied his expression carefully and sighed in her heart before taking her leave.
As she departed, the doors of the hall silently closed.
The next day, Gu Shengyin arrived at the Imperial Palace. Accompanying her were the nine most renowned young masters of the Tianxuan Dynasty, including the Second Prince.
Upon her arrival, apart from the Second Prince Xuantian Ce, everyone stepped forward to greet her.
The Emperor expressed his commendation to everyone and, after bestowing numerous treasures, the ten people, guarded by several strong protectors of the Tianxuan Dynasty, set off for the Vermilion Bird Empire.
In the midst of it all, Gu Shengyin made time to see Cheng Lingyu, who was setting off with the Second Prince.
She already knew Cheng Lingyu’s purpose for insisting on coming.
She had heard somewhere that among the rewards for the Youth King Tournament this time was an item called the Mystical Profound Pill. Consuming this elixir could maximize the potential within one’s body, with a great chance of granting the ability to cultivate Mystic Qi to someone born without it.
Even though the risk was equally great, Cheng Lingyu wanted to give it a try. Check latest chapters at novelꜰire.net
She intended to obtain the Mystical Profound Pill, which was certainly impossible through official channels, and she wouldn’t expect the victors to use such a precious item on her.
That’s right, what she planned to do was steal.
Although Gu Shengyin didn’t know where this woman got the confidence to steal the invaluable elixir amidst so many strong protectors.
Actually, if Cheng Lingyu came and spoke to her about it, she would be quite willing to gift her the Mystical Profound Pill.
Letting her have everything before personally taking away what she stole was the gift Gu Shengyin planned to give her.
After a month, the people of the Mystery Heaven Empire finally arrived within the territories of the Vermilion Bird Empire.
As the strongest empire on the Tianxuan Continent, Gu Shengyin and her party undoubtedly received an extremely solemn reception.
Everything was perfect, except for a particularly enthusiastic person.
"Miss Linyin, our Vermilion Bird City has many scenic areas. Could I be fortunate enough to invite you to enjoy them together?" This handsome man with a face full of enthusiasm was the youngest brother of the reigning Emperor of the Vermilion Bird Empire.
From the moment he first saw Gu Shengyin, he was struck by her beauty and did not hide his affection for her, visiting the Tianxuan Empire’s embassy daily, without fail.
