Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 572: Elder Tianjian
Outside the East Palace of the Zi Yao Imperial Palace, Yu Ci Xin, Cui Luo Han, Hong Chen Xue and five others, who had finished their lunch, were waiting for the second half of the selection to begin.

Hong Chenxue asked Cui Luohan who was standing beside her, "Sister Cui Luohan, who do you think will be the first person summoned by the prince this afternoon?"

The reason why Hong Chenxue called Cui Luohan "sister" was because the two girls took the opportunity to chat during the break just now.

After some communication, they found that they had such similar interests and felt that they had met too late.

In a short period of time, the relationship between the two girls quickly heated up, to the point where they called each other sisters and exchanged handkerchiefs.

Cui Luohan asked back: "Who does sister Hongchenxue think will be the first?"

"No matter who it is, I hope the first one will be my sister. I can only pray that the prince will not be like he was this morning."

After the previous communication, Hong Chenxue naturally knew that Cui Luohan was running for the election for the sake of his family and his younger brother, and couldn't help but tease him.

Cui Luohan laughed when she heard this and said, "Sister Hongchenxue, please stop teasing me. You know how scared I was this morning."

Hong Chenxue comforted her, "Sister Cui Luohan is intelligent and kind-hearted. How can the prince let her down?"

"I am so grateful for your words, sister. I am also here to wish you that you can get what you want and find out where your father is."

Just as the two women were talking, the ceremonial officer arrived and announced the start of the second half of the concubine selection.

"First match this afternoon. Please invite Master Fangfei, Hongchenxue, in."

"Sister, I'll go ahead."

"Yes. Sister, I wish you success in this trip."

After Hong Chenxue left, Yu Cixin, who had been silent, stepped forward and said, "It's only been one afternoon, and you two are already calling each other sisters. But have you ever thought that if Hong Chenxue is chosen, your chances will be even less."

Cui Luohan said without thinking: "Sister Hongchenxue's talent is not inferior to mine. If the prince is interested in her, she also likes the prince. Cui Luohan can only wish her the best."

Hong Chenxue entered the East Palace Hall and met Shaoyang Jun.

Shaoyang Jun asked: "Hongchenxue, what do you want?"

Hong Chenxue asked on behalf of her good sister Cui Luohan: "Your Highness, you didn't seem to ask me if I am willing to become the Crown Princess of the Celestial Empire."

Shao Yang Jun saw through Hong Chenxue's plan at a glance, "Ha, Hong Chenxue, if you don't want to, I won't force you. What's more, my relationship with you is much deeper than you think."

Hong Chenxue really couldn't figure out what the relationship between herself and Shao Yang Jun was, "What do you mean?

Shao Yang Jun did not hide it and pointed out directly: "You once entrusted your sworn brother, Emperor Yuliang, to find the whereabouts of your father, Elder Tianjian."

"Where did the prince learn about this?"

Shaoyang Jun did not want to reveal his incarnation's identity, so he said it was a deal, "Emperor Yuliang's forces were only active in Xiwulin, and he was tied to the entire Xiwulin, so it was inconvenient for him to leave, so he made a deal with me. The content of the deal was that I would find the last place that Old Man Tianjian appeared for him."

Concerned about her father's safety, Hong Chenxue quickly asked, "What's the result?"

"If I go in person, it will be easy to capture him." The Emperor of Jade Liang has already made all the preparations, so Lord Shaoyang doesn't need to hide it anymore. "Originally, the Emperor of Jade Liang should have informed you of this matter soon. Since you have come in person, it is okay to tell you in advance. As for your conditions, you can keep them and use them when needed."

But Hong Chenxue suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Shaoyang Jun asked: "Hongchenxue, do you have any questions?"

"Excuse me, what price did you pay to get news about my father?" Hong Chenxue was moved by his brother's friendship, but also didn't want him to suffer any loss.

"Well, this is a private transaction between me and him, so I can't tell you." The transaction is just an excuse. The two people from the same origin need to trade. "In this case, Your Highness, can I use my promise to exchange for what my brother has paid?"

Shaoyang Jun was embarrassed, but said calmly: "If you are willing, it is fine."

Hong Chenxue immediately agreed, "Okay, then please fulfill your promise, Your Highness."

"I will arrange for someone to send him back. Now I will tell you the information I got about the last time Old Man Tian Jian appeared." Shao Yang Jun began to tell everything about Old Man Tian Jian. "The last place Old Man Tian Jian appeared was in the Northern Region."

"Northern Territory, why is father going there?"

"That's because he was entrusted by someone to go and kill the feared Xianyun Sanhua in the Northern Territory."

Hearing this, Hong Chenxue felt something was wrong. "I wonder what the outcome of this battle will be? Is my father seriously injured and missing?"

"Old Man Tianjian originally wanted to join forces with Cangmang Xingzhe to kill them with the beast demon Fen. During the battle, because Cangmang Xingzhe did not arrive, Old Man Tianjian had no choice but to perish together with the Xianyun Sanhua."

"Father!" Although she had been prepared, Hong Chenxue was still heartbroken upon hearing that her loved one had passed away.

After a while, Hong Chenxue calmed down and said to Shaoyang Jun: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure in front of the prince."

"It's okay. We are close relatives. This is human nature."

"Hong Chenxue has something else to ask the prince."

"But it doesn't matter."

Hong Chenxue asked, "Why didn't the traveler arrive?"

Cangmang Xingzhe's real name is Ren Pingsheng, and he is the sworn brother of Tianjian Elder. Hongchenxue calls him Uncle Ren whenever she sees him.

"Are you sure you want to know?"

Seeing Shaoyang Jun's attitude, Hong Chenxue had already guessed something in her mind. She was afraid that Ren Pingsheng deliberately did not go, causing her father to fight alone and finally have to perish together with the Xianyun Sanhua.

"As a child, I have the obligation to know the whole story."

Shaoyang Jun then told him everything that happened that year, "Well, the story starts from a long time ago. Ren Pingsheng and Old Man Tianjian were once asked by someone to eliminate the three Xianyuns with the 'Han Miu Jade' as a reward, but Ren Pingsheng accidentally heard Old Man Tianjian say that "Han Miu Jade will belong to one person after the task is completed". He misunderstood that Old Man Tianjian wanted to take the Han Miu Jade for himself and was dissatisfied, so he deliberately broke the appointment, causing Old Man Tianjian and the three Huas to die together. In the end, Ren Pingsheng obtained the Han Miu Jade and practiced it into a unique right-handed single-edged sword move - Jiuxiao Shahan."

After hearing the whole story, Hong Chenxue sighed, "I never thought Uncle Ren would be such a person. He doubted my father's character just because of one sentence."

Then, he thanked Shaoyang Jun: "Thank you, Your Highness, for clearing up Hong Chenxue's doubts."

Shaoyang Jun stopped Hong Chenxue who was about to leave, "Wait a minute. Hong Chenxue, there is still a follow-up to the matter about Elder Tianjian. Are you sure you don't want to listen to it?"

"What does the prince mean by 'father's affairs are not yet over'?"

"Although the old man Tianjian and the three Xianyuns died together, he knew that the three Xianyuns were difficult to deal with, so he deliberately designed his own spiritual consciousness to enter the body of Elai at the moment of their death. Between life and death, the souls of both parties were absorbed and sealed by the beast demon."

Unexpectedly, things could turn around. Hong Chenxue was overjoyed. "Your Highness the Crown Prince means that my father still has a chance of survival."

"Whether there is a turnaround or not is not up to me, but depends on Emperor Yuliang. I think he should have obtained the Beast Demon Burning by now."

"Thank you for letting me know. Hong Chenxue will take her leave." Knowing that her father still had a chance of survival, Hong Chenxue left in a hurry.
