Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the following day, Su Changyu asked the guards to take him to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty to clear things up after he woke up.
He had already thought it through.
In a short while, Su Changyu arrived at the Heart-Nurturing Palace.
“Changyu, you are here. What are you here to see me about?”
When the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty heard the report, he walked out immediately and looked at Su Changyu while his heart beat rapidly.
Two days had passed and he reckoned that Su Changyu must have already made up his mind.
“I’m planning to leave and return to the Qingyun Dao Sect.”
Su Changyu said in a calm and indifferent tone.
When the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty heard these words, his heart trembled and he fell silent.
“Changyu, are you not willing to accept me as your father?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked with a sorrowful gaze.
“Yes.”
Su Changyu nodded seriously.
He had thought through it very thoroughly, but he still couldn’t accept his true identity or his biological father. He decided to follow his heart and return to the Qingyun Dao Sect which he felt was the place that he belonged to.
Although the Qingyun Dao Sect was poor and inferior to the palace, he preferred living there.
Su Changyu thought of Daoist Tai Hua whom he regarded as his father because the latter was the person who raised him.
For some reason, whenever Su Changyu thought of Daoist Tai Hua, he would feel an indescribable emotion.
He somehow felt melancholic.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was silent.
Su Changyu’s reason was very clear and that was he could not accept the emperor.
When he was in the Qingyun Dao Sect, the Emperor had asked Su Changyu some hypothetical questions.
At that time, Su Changyu answered that he wouldn’t accept him because the Qingyun Dao Sect was his home.
However, the Emperor had been looking forward to it.
After all, Su Changyu had already shown up.
However, he was full of melancholy and guilt.
“Changyu, what will it take for you to accept me?
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty looked at Su Changyu with his eyes full of expectations as he tried to make Su Changyu stay.
“Old Xia, forget it.”
“I came to the Great Xia Dynasty this time with the intention of making a clean break and getting some closure, but I found out that there was a misunderstanding. Now that I’ve found out about the situation, I no longer have any worries.”
“The Qingyun Dao Sect is my home.”
Su Changyu said in a calm tone.
Hearing Su Changu address him as ‘Old Xia’, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty heaved a sigh of relief.
He understood what Su Changyu meant. Although Su Changyu wouldn’t accept him as his father, they could continue being friends like before.
“When are you going to leave?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked.
He did not try to persuade him or anything because he knew that no matter how he tried to persuade Su Changyu, it would be pointless so he decided to respect his decision.
If he were to forcefully persuade Su Changyu, it might ruin the peace and friendship they now had.
Besides, although he said he didn’t care, he still had his concerns.
For example, he was worried about the fight for the title of the Crown Prince and that the four imperial dynasties would harm Su Changyu.
Su Changyu obviously didn’t care for the position of the Crown Prince, but the current Crown Prince, Xia Qian, obviously wouldn’t think that way.
He knew his son well.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was very clear about what his son was like.
If he acknowledged Su Changyu, Xia Qian might end up doing lots of silly things.
As for the four dynasties, once they knew that the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty had appeared, they would definitely take action against Su Changyu. He admitted that the Great Xia Dynasty had the power to protect Su Changyu, but the peace that Su Changyu wanted would also be broken.
“Well then, Changyu, let’s have a meal together. I’ll have someone prepare the Teleportation Array, how about that?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said with a frown.
In the past few days, he hadn’t said anything to Su Changyu, and now that Su Changyu was about to leave, he decided to make that request.
“Okay then, let’s meet at my residence.”
Su Changyu nodded and turned around to leave without turning him down.
He returned to his residence.
Ye Ping, who was in the hall, went forward when he saw Su Changy returning.
“Eldest Senior Brother.”
Ye Ping called out.
“Ye Ping, I’ve already made it clear to Old Xia that I’ll be leaving today, so go bid farewell to Princess Qingmo.”
Su Changyu nodded and said so.
“Okay, Senior Brother.”
Ye Ping nodded and went forward to the Green Phoenix Hall to bid goodbye to Xia Qingmo.
When he arrived at the Green Phoenix Hall, Ye Ping told Xia Qingmo that Su Changyu had already finished handling his matters and that he was going to return to the Qingyun Dao Sect. Xia Qingmo was reluctant to part with him.
He didn’t expect Ye Ping to be leaving after just three short days.
“It’s alright, if you’re bored at the palace, you can come to the Qingyun Dao Sect.”
“I may come back to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty in the future. When the time comes, I’ll definitely meet you.”
Ye Ping said with a smile on his face.
“Okay, if there’s a chance, I’ll definitely go to the Qingyun Dao Sect to look for you.”
Xia Qingmo nodded and said.
Afterwards, Xia Qingmo took out a lotus perfume pouch from her hall and handed it to Ye Ping coyly.
“Senior Brother Ye, I have nothing to give you. I made this yesterday, please accept it.”
Xia Qingmo said, not daring to stare at Ye Ping.
“Alright.”
Ye Ping nodded and accepted the perfume pouch before leaving.
At the same time, in the Crown Prince’s hall.
A figure knelt down respectfully in front of Xia Qian.
“Your Highness, Ye Ping went to Green Phoenix Hall just now. According to the maids, Ye Ping is bidding farewell to Princess Qingmo because he’ll be leaving the palace today to go back to the Qingyun Dao Sect.”
The figure said.
“Bid farewell and return to the Qingyun Dao Sect?”
Hearing this news, Xia Qian beamed with joy and excitement.
The day before yesterday, he contacted the crown prince of the Great Ze Dynasty and informed him about the cancellation of the engagement after learning that Ye Ping had arrived in the palace. At the same time, they also discussed about Ye Ping.
They discussed how to kill Ye Ping.
However, he was afraid and scrupulous because Ye Ping was still in the palace. Hence, he could only wait for the right opportunity.
He didn’t expect the opportunity to come so soon.
Xia Qian was excited.
Ye Ping was leaving the palace.
It was his opportunity!
He had to seize it.
Once he lost it, he might have to wait till some time later.
Besides, he couldn’t wait any longer.
Each day was a great torment for him now.
Xia Qian no longer cared about whether the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty would doubt or blame him at all.
The Tenth Prince must die!
Ye Ping must die!
Otherwise, if Ye Ping was merely going back to the Qingyun Dao Sect to say goodbye to his sect members and then return to the palace, he might vie with him for the position of the Crown Prince.
No matter what, he would not be at peace as long as the Tenth Prince was alive.
Xia Qian was not confident at all. He felt that he could not trump Ye Ping.
Once Ye Ping died, Xia Qian would be at ease.
‘So what if the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty finds out that I was the one who did it?’
‘Once Ye Ping dies, the Emperor Star will shift and the luck will be added to me.’
Xia Qian believed that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty wouldn’t do anything to him.
Xia Qian was taking a gamble.
In his opinion, as long as Ye Ping died, he had a high probability of winning the bet.
Moreover, he had no choice. He had no other option apart from killing Ye Ping.
It was midday.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty came to Su Changyu’s residence while the servant behind him held onto a tray of exquisitely plated food.
At the dining table, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty did not mention anything else and simply ate quietly while talking to Su Changyu about some everyday affairs.
Just like that, lunch lasted for an hour.
“Changyu, the Teleportation Array to the Qingyun Dao Sect has been arranged.”
After eating, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty did not say anything else and simply brought Su Changyu and Ye Ping to the array formation platform.
Soon, everyone arrived at the array formation platform.
“Changyu, this array formation can take you to the Qingyun Dao Sect in about three seconds.”
“Also, take this token with you. When the time comes, you can come to the palace to find me at any time with this token.”
“If you encounter anything, just crush this ancient token and I’ll be able to receive your message. I’ll send someone to look for you.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty then took out an ancient token and handed it to Su Changyu.
He was very reluctant to let Su Changyu leave, but he didn’t say much.
“Alright.”
Su Changyu nodded composedly.
After saying that, Su Changyu and Ye Ping stepped onto the formation platform.
In the blink of an eye, the array formation was activated and rays of light darted in all directions.
Su Changyu and Ye Ping disappeared in the same place.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and the rest were left behind.
However, at this moment...
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
All of a sudden, the array formation vibrated violently and shattered the void, making the space collapse quickly. It was extremely terrifying.
“What’s going on?”
In an instant, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s expression changed drastically. Immediately afterwards, a jade seal appeared and endless divine light emerged from it. It floated in the sky and stabilized the collapsed space, as well as the array formation platform.
In an instant, the formation platform regained its stability.
However, Su Changyu and Ye Ping on the formation platform had both disappeared.
Sss!
Sss!
Sss!
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
Something happened.
Something major happened!
If the Teleportation Array shook during the teleportation process, the Teleportation Array would shake and the void might collapse. Such a thing was extremely dangerous.
If they were lucky enough, an error would only cause them to appear tens or hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from their intended location. If they were unlucky, they would die.
The array formation shook very vigorously just now.
“Damn it!”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty hollered furiously while his aura spread. It was extremely terrifying.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty flew into a rage.
The Tenth Prince was born 27 years ago and in just one day, he was taken away. He ended up being stranded outside for 27 years, separating him from the emperor.
Now that Su Changyu had returned to the palace of the Great Xia Dynasty, something like that happened in just three days.
How could he not be enraged?
“Your Majesty, please forgive me!”
The array formation masters knelt down with looks of horror.
They would have never expected that something would happen in the Teleportation Array.
“I want to know the result in 15 minutes!”
“Send someone to the Qingyun Dao Sect of the Jin Nation immediately to check for clues about Changyu.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said in a cold tone.
He knew that someone must have tampered with the array formation.
The array formation masters of the palace were all proficient in array formations so there shouldn’t have been such an error.
Even if there was an accident, the formation would not have quaked so violently. The void even collapsed immediately.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s heart was full of expectations, hoping that Su Changyu would be safely transported back to the Qingyun Dao Sect.
“Yes.”
In an instant, the people hidden in the shadows began to speak up one after another.
They were all the secret guards of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Soon, a figure appeared behind the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and sent a voice transmission using his divine senses.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s face turned sullen immediately.
It was Xia Qian, the Crown Prince.
The array formation had been tampered with by the Crown Prince, Xia Qian.
Previously, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had made some guesses and suspected that Xia Qian was the one, but Xia Qian was his son after all so he couldn’t believe that Xia Qian would do such a thing to harm his brother.
However, the truth was now before him.
“Xia Qian, you have let me down too much.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty took a deep breath with a cold and sullen expression as he muttered to himself.
He was incredibly disappointed with Xia Qian.
“Let’s go to the Crown Prince’s Hall.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty turned around and headed to the Crown Prince’s Hall with a cold and indifferent expression.
