Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 73 Elder Dan

"Alright, I don't want to hear about your business. It's been the same old mess over and over again all these years. Just be mindful of yourselves," Hun Qing said, waving his hand dismissively.

Hun Feng and Hun Xinghe, these two sworn enemies, always cause chaos whenever they meet, and she's gotten used to it over the years.

Looking at Hunfeng and Hunyu, Hunqing said with a half-smile, "I heard that you two went to the Heavenly Palace for training. I just got back and you found me. You're quite well-informed."

Hunfeng smiled faintly and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Although the young master did not make a big fuss about his return, he did not hide his presence either, so it is normal that we knew."

"Now that you've seen me, you can take the Soul Jade back to the Heavenly Palace." Hun Qinghao waved to Hun Feng and the other two, and Shi Yi and the others could leave.

Hun Qing's perfunctory attitude made Hun Feng's heart sink.

In the eyes of the Soul Clan, only Hun Feng is worthy of the young master, and Hun Feng himself also thinks so. However, over the years, no matter how much he tries to please the young master, even when the clan leader puts pressure on him, he has never been able to win the young master's heart.

Her attitude towards him remained as perfunctory and indifferent as ever, which made Hunfeng feel a strong sense of frustration.

In the eyes of her clan, they were a match made in heaven, so why did she not care at all?

Composing himself, Hunfeng clenched his fists and smiled, "Returning to the Heavenly Palace is not urgent. Hunfeng only wishes to follow the young master!"

"Fine, whatever you want. You can leave now." Hun Qinghao didn't even raise his head, his attitude as perfunctory as could be.

When she first met Hunfeng, she felt guilty for taking his position as the young clan leader and was willing to play with him seriously.

She considered him a friend, a future right-hand man, but Hunfeng seemed to have misunderstood. Even after she made it clear that they could only be friends, Hunfeng still clung to her, which annoyed her, and she no longer wanted to talk to him.

"Yes, Soulwind takes his leave."

Suppressing his emotions, Hun Feng bowed to Hun Qinghao before leaving the Black Lotus Palace with a heavy heart.

As soon as Hun Feng and Hun Yu left, Hun Xinghe immediately sneered, "Him? He dares to dream of having Mingyue in his arms? What a pipe dream!"

"Xinghe!" Hun Qinghao called out softly, frowning as he said, "Hun Feng is the young master of the Soul Palace and will take charge of the Soul Palace in the future. Unless necessary, you should avoid conflicts with him."

The Black Lotus Guards are her personal guards. As the deputy commander of the Black Lotus Guards, Hun Xinghe is her confidant. In the future, when she becomes the patriarch of the Soul Clan, both Hun Xinghe and Hun Feng will be her capable generals. A little conflict is fine, but it must never escalate to the point of enemies.

"Yes." Hun Xinghe lowered her head slightly, reluctantly agreeing, then asked, "Now that Young Master has returned, should Xinghe arrange for someone to come to the Black Lotus Palace?"

Hun Qinghao looked up at Hun Chuyin and said, "The usual rule is to let Chuyin stay."

Hun Chuyin was originally a maid trained by Hun Tiandi for his daughter. Later, when the Black Lotus Guard was established, Hun Qing saw that she had great talent and let her join the Black Lotus Guard.

……

The next morning, Hunfeng arrived at the entrance of the Black Lotus Palace again, but this time he came alone.

"Miss Chu Yin, who is he, and why is he causing you such distress?"

Cai Lin and Hun Chuyin stood in the main hall, looking at Hun Feng's figure on the glazed pillar. Seeing Hun Chuyin's troubled expression, Cai Lin couldn't help but ask.

Hun Chuyin didn't hide anything and explained, "Miss Cailin, he is the Soul Hall's young master appointed by the clan leader. Among the younger generation of the Soul Clan, his bloodline and talent are second only to the young master."

"Prince Hunfeng is infatuated with the young master, but the young master dislikes his entanglement. If it were someone from another race, it would be fine, as the young master would not hesitate to take action. However, Prince Hunfeng is a prodigy of the Hun clan, and the young master would not take action against his own people over such trivial matters, which is why he is so annoyed."

"Never mind, I'll go out and tell him anyway."

Having said that, Hun Chuyin walked out of the main hall.

When Hun Feng saw the palace gates open, he assumed it was Hun Qinghao and was overjoyed. However, when he saw that the person who came out was Hun Chuyin, the smile on his face instantly froze.

Hun Chuyin bowed and said, "Your Highness Hun Feng, the young master is not in the Black Lotus Palace. He went out early this morning. Your Highness, please return."

"Young Master isn't here? Where did she go?" Hunfeng asked, frowning.

"Chu Yin doesn't know, the young master didn't tell Chu Yin where she went." Hun Chu Yin's voice was indifferent. She actually knew where the young master went, because when he left, he said that he had important business to discuss with Elder Dan.

However, as the young master's maid, she naturally had to help him solve his problems. Since the young master did not want to see Hunfeng, she naturally could not reveal his whereabouts to him.

"Your Highness, please return. The young master will not appreciate you waiting like this."

Since Hun Chuyin had said so, Hun Feng could only leave unwillingly, whether he believed her or not.

In the inner perimeter of the Soul Realm, halfway up a majestic mountain, stands a massive black palace. Above the main gate hangs a plaque with two elegantly written characters: "Dan Palace" (丹殿).

The owner of this palace is the soul's teacher, also known as Elder Dan.

Speaking of Elder Dan, one cannot help but mention his background and the complicated relationship between him and his other disciple, Hun Xuzi.

Before his death, Dan Lao was the master of the Little Pill Tower, a highly respected ninth-grade alchemist. Hun Xuzi was ordered to infiltrate the Little Pill Tower at that time, and was taken in as a disciple by Dan Lao because of his outstanding talent.

However, his identity was exposed not long after. At that time, Dan Lao spared Hun Xuzi out of consideration for the bond between master and disciple. But Hun Xuzi colluded with the Soul Clan to ambush and kill his master. Because of this, the Dan Tower and the Soul Palace even had a great war, and the hatred was thus formed.

When the Soul Emperor emerged from seclusion and heard about this, he believed that the value of a ninth-grade alchemist was immeasurable, so he preserved Dan Lao's soul from Soul Void Child.

The teacher he had betrayed hadn't died completely; his soul had been saved by his boss. One can imagine how Hun Xuzi felt. For so many years, he had been troubled by this matter and dared not step into the Pill Hall. It wasn't until he had his junior brother Hun Dan that he finally met the Pill Elder. Since then, this pair of sworn enemies, master and disciple, had been constantly battling wits and courage.

As for Elder Dan, he was originally unwilling to submit to the Soul Emperor's recruitment, but after many years in the Soul Realm and receiving the Soul Emperor's courtesy, he gradually stopped resisting. After taking in his second disciple, Hun Dan, he completely integrated into the Soul Clan, spending his days collecting gossip and occasionally giving Hun Xuzi a beating. His life was quite comfortable.

When Hun Qing arrived at the Pill Hall, he happened to run into Elder Dan, who was about to leave.

Seeing the feather duster in the old man's hand, Hun Qinghao smiled knowingly, "Are you going to whip your unfilial disciple again, old man?"

Old Dan chuckled sheepishly and quickly put away the feather duster. "That brat deserved a beating. Only after beating him can I feel a little better."

When his gaze inadvertently swept over the black ring on Hun Qing's finger, Elder Dan was startled. A wise light appeared in his eyes, and he smiled very kindly.
