Chapter 1538: Chapter 85 The Insignificant Figures of Dongqian_2
âAnd Brother Langtai, you are much stronger than that Wei Qingyun in every aspect, arenât you? Donât you want to have a taste of what itâs like to consort with an Immortal Familyâs Little Princess? You might even end up as the Immortal Emperor Husband in the future. When that happens, I, Jiang Xingyuan, could also rise to riches along with you.â
Han Langtai cast a deeply contemptuous glance at Jiang Xingyuan: âElder Brother Jiang, I remember you used to be someone with quite some pride. How come after just one trip to Dongqian, youâve become so wretched? Why donât you represent the Cold Moon Jiang Clan and try to curry favor with the Third Princess yourself?â
âFirst, I donât get along well with my family. I could hardly stand those old men at home during this short visit. Second, the royal family recently produced a Fourth Little Princess, whose maternal clan is the Great Liang Jiang.â
âAlthough our Fourth Little Princess has too remote a chance due to her age, she is ultimately deeply connected to our Jiang Clan. Should I dare to fawn over Princess Jingan, I might just get thrown out of my family by those old fellows.â
âIn contrast, Brother Langtai, you have all the advantages of time, place, and people. It would be quite a pity not to try to win the favor of the Third Princess.â
âHmph~ I have no interest in what Wei Qingyun has licked. Letâs not talk about this anymore. Tell me about the interesting things from your travels in Dongqian.â Han Langtai changed the subject, âYou mentioned earlier that Brother GongYang lost the battle for the Transcendent Cloud Codex? I canât seem to understand. Although Brother GongYang was born in a humble family, his talent and intellect are top-notch, it makes no sense for him to lose.â
âCould it be that Brother GongYang has encountered some unfair treatment? If so, I, Han Langtai, will certainly not stand idly by.â
âCome on, the contest for the Saint of Dongqian Soaring Cloud Holy Land was one where Brother GongYang lost fair and square,â Jiang Xingyuan said with a complex expression, looking like there was much he found hard to articulate.
Han Langtai was somewhat shocked to see this: âCould it be that in Dongqian Countryâs Holy Place thereâs a Great Heavenly Child even more formidable than Brother GongYang?â
âNot just a Great Heavenly ChildâŠâ Jiang Xingyuanâs gaze seemed a bit lost, with beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead, as if he were recalling some past events he didnât wish to remember, âDongqian Country is a pit, no, a massive pit~~â
ââŠâ
Han Langtai was speechless.
Just what kind of a pit is it, speak clearly, will you~
While the two chatted, a low-profile yet luxurious flying carriage glided across the sky over the Helan Mountain Range, discreetly entering the outskirts of the Helan Han Clanâs Main Residence.
The only Void Realm Old Ancestor of the Han Clan, Han Qixuan, along with two Clan Elders and the current Family Head, secretly received them on the back mountain.
Upon seeing the flying carriage descend and land, Han Qixuan stepped forward to greet it and laughed heartily: âIt truly graces the Helan Han Clan with splendor to have the Fourth Little Princess visit~~â
âYou flatter me, True Monarch Qi Xuan~ To think that you personally came out to greet me today, itâs truly a surprise and honor,â Yun Mengyu elegantly stepped out from the carriage and returned the greeting to Han Qixuan.
Despite being only eleven years old, she already carried a bit of the Air of an Immortal Familyâs Princess, with a serious expression on her small face, and every movement revealing an innate elegance and fairy-like grace.
Following behind her was an exceptionally beautiful woman with fair skin and a serene and transcendent aura, reminiscent of a flower on a high cliff.
As soon as this stunning woman appeared, Han Qixuan was startled, and his expression turned more solemn.
âHan has not been informed of Jade Spirit True Monarchâs arrival; to have not greeted you from afar is a great oversight. My sincerest apologies.â He quickly raised his hand in salute.
[True Monarch] is a title conferred by the Immortal Emperor.
Only those who have reached the Transcendent Void Realm and have accumulated enough Merit Points on the battlefield can be bestowed with such a title by the Immortal Emperor.
The prefix of the title usually aligns with their Cultivation Technique characteristics, or their own names.
Typically, those in the Transcendent Void Realm often hold their own titles, as their lifespans are lengthy, giving them ample opportunity to be called to the battlefield.
The more powerful a Prominent Family is, the more resources they can gather, and naturally, the stronger they become. At this level, they naturally have to shoulder the burden of the Human raceâs survival, and thereâs no escaping it.
The greater oneâs abilities, the greater the responsibilities.
This is a common understanding amongst the Human race, and itâs a concept that has always been upheld.
After all, without the struggles and sacrifices of the predecessors on the battlefield, ensuring the world remains at its fundamental peace in the face of threats by demons from other realms, younger Cultivators wouldnât have the opportunity to grow and develop at leisure.
However, outstanding younger members of the Human race are generally asked to postpone battlefield participation.
A Great Heavenly Child in the Heavenly Human Realm would be prevented by elders and peers from going to war. An Unparalleled Heavenly Child in the Purple Abode Realm would also have a hard time getting a chance to join the battle.
Of course, if one is insistent, itâs possible to discretely experience the battlefield to hone oneâs abilities, but the Commanders would never assign them excessively dangerous tasks.
However, Great Heavenly Prouds by the Purple Abode Realm must inevitably join the battle. An Unparalleled one upon reaching the Divine Power Territory must also endure the battlefield. Itâs a necessary path to reach higher realms.
But letâs put these digressions aside for now.
What followed was a series of polite exchanges as a matter of formality.
Soon enough, the Fourth Princess Yun Mengyu was invited into the highest floor of the Han Clanâs Main Residence that was set aside for entertaining distinguished guests, she was treated with high-level courtesy as befits a princess.
Shortly after, Han Langtai, who was idling in his own garden chatting with Jiang Xingyuan, was also âfetchedâ by Han Qixuan to accompany the Fourth Little Princess for a meal.
