Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 66 The Emblem of the Sky City

Back home, the Yu brothers recounted the day's events to their grandfather, Yu Long. When Yu Long heard that the temple's abbot had personally received them and was even going to give Lan Tian a badge, he was utterly astonished. How could this be? The current abbot of the temple hadn't shown his face for a very, very long time; even their generation hadn't seen his true appearance. How could he suddenly appear today and give that kid Lan Tian the Blue Card Badge, a sacred relic of Sky City, symbolizing the key to unlocking Sky City!
Yu Long, listening to their account, realized that the abbot intended to give Lan Tian the sacred artifact, which reminded him of the family precepts passed down from his ancestors, including the legend of the emblem. "This is terrible! A major event is about to occur in Sky City, one that will affect our future!" He hurriedly told his brothers not to divulge what had happened that day, not to mention it to anyone, and to keep it a secret. Then he rushed to the family elders to discuss countermeasures.

The news that reached the Yu family had alarmed the entire clan. Yu Long summoned all the clan elders who had been in seclusion for many years to discuss the matter. That evening, Jia Hui returned to the Yu family and went straight to her room. She paid no attention to what happened afterward; her girlish heart had already flown far away! She spent the whole night thinking about her beloved. Ever since her two brothers returned from the underwater city, they had been talking about Lan Tian every time, which made her curious and confused. Was he really as handsome and dashing as her brothers described? The feelings of a young girl were hard to fathom.

That night, Lan Tian and Yi Mengying returned to the Lan residence, both unable to sleep, each lost in their own thoughts. Yi Mengying pondered the first stirrings of love in a young girl, the hazy, budding feelings of first love. Lan Tian, ​​on the other hand, was preoccupied with the temple abbot's unusual behavior that day, which left him completely perplexed. What was the abbot's motive for giving him such a valuable badge? What help could he offer, or what use was he to the abbot?

The next morning, Lan Tian went to Qin Lei to find out about the temple, the presiding monk, and the origin of the badge, and to figure out what was going on.

Upon hearing Lan Tian mention that the temple's abbot had personally hosted them and even offered him a badge, Qin Lei, like Yu Long, was utterly astonished—not just ordinary astonished. This meant that Lan Tian was the person rumored to be in Sky City, a destined individual. The abbot, who hadn't appeared in a long time, personally presenting the badge completely confirmed Lan Tian's identity. This was incredible! Sky City was about to witness a great show! Lan Tian was the key figure stirring things up. They were caught completely off guard! Qin Lei ordered Lan Tian to remain at the Lan residence from that day forward, to be extremely cautious in all matters, and subsequently strengthened the Lan residence's security.

As fate would have it, a servant came to report that a distinguished guest had arrived—the Temple Abbot himself had come to greet him. This was the most prestigious venerable one in Sky City, and Qin Lei dared not be negligent. He immediately came out to greet him, thinking that the guest must have come for Blue Sky. Things were a bit tricky; he hadn't yet come up with a good plan!

"Your Excellency's presence at the Lan residence is an honor. I, Qin Lei, have failed to greet you properly. Please, please come in!" Qin Lei greeted the host with a friendly smile from afar, offering polite greetings as he led him into the Lan residence's reception hall.

"Steward Qin, you're too kind."

"Please take a seat, and have some tea."

"Alright, alright, I've mainly come to see your young master today. If we have a connection, please ask Steward Qin to introduce him." The host had gotten straight to the point, without any beating around the bush, so Qin Lei couldn't refuse and sent a servant to invite young master Lan Tian over.

It's clear that the host's personal visit down the mountain indicates he had planned this all along; everything was arranged and all that was needed was Lan Tian's approval.

Lan Tian was just worried, and now he was even more at a loss. He couldn't refuse the abbot's kindness again. What should he do next? Seeing the servant coming over, he understood everything. He had no choice but to go. Lan Tian then went to the reception hall and paid his respects to the Venerable One. Today, the abbot was as kind and approachable as ever, without any airs.

"Young Master Lan, you must accept this badge today. I must put it on you personally." "Your Excellency is too kind. How could I possibly accept such a favor?" Lan Tian tried to refuse repeatedly. This was not what he wanted! Who knew what kind of trickery might be involved? He should try his best not to accept it.

"Don't worry, this badge originally belonged to you, it's yours." The host saw Lan Tian's worries and told him frankly that if it didn't belong to him, it couldn't be worn by him. He could try it and see, and if it didn't work out, he wouldn't force him to accept it.

"Okay! I'll give it a try." Since they've been so clear, how could I refuse to give it a shot?

The host took out the badge again, its golden light gleaming and filling the room with warmth. He stepped forward and personally put it on Lan Tian. As soon as the badge approached Lan Tian, ​​a powerful energy fluctuation emanated from it, resonating with a certain energy within Lan Tian's body. It shone brightly with golden light and floated directly in front of Lan Tian, ​​placing it on his body.

The badge's initiative stunned everyone present. How could this be? It really was actively recognizing a master! Wasn't this badge recognizing Blue Sky as its master? It was obvious without a doubt that it belonged to Blue Sky.

The host was first surprised, then extremely excited. He truly was the destined one for Sky City, the key to unlocking the secret realm. Qin Lei and Lan Tian were now completely astonished; they both understood that this was about to happen, and Sky City would be changed by Lan Tian.

"Good, good, Young Master Lan is indeed the owner of this badge."

"Your Excellency, how is this possible! How could I be its master?" Lan Tian said curiously.

"The legend is true. There has always been a legend in Sky City that whoever can wear this badge will be its master, the master of Sky City." The abbot said to Lan Tian. Seeing their surprise, he told them the words of his ancestors. The master of Sky City is a mysterious legacy passed down from his ancestors, known only to the abbot.

Because the person who can wear this badge must be the one who opens the secret realm of Sky City. The secret realm contains all the secrets of Sky City and ancient artifacts left behind. Only the person who wears the badge can enter and unlock the mysterious realm of Sky City.

However, these are merely ancestral instructions. Whether they are true or not, only Lan Tian himself can investigate. Since no one has ever entered before, no one has ever been able to wear this badge. Now, Lan Tian is the one who will wear it, the destined one of Sky City, the one the abbot spoke of as the future master of Sky City. Does this foreshadow another adventure for Lan Tian, ​​another solitary battle? Who knows what awaits him inside?
