Southern Emperor Sect

This was a private room, and the table was already filled with all kinds of delicious dishes. Ye Wuchen and Long Zheng Yang sat opposite each other, while Ningxue sat next to Ye Wuchen. She continuously swallowed her saliva as she stared at the delicacies on the table, occasionally sneaking glances at her big brother. In the sealed region, she had eaten wild fruits and barbecued meat every day, and on the way to Heavenly Dragon City, she had mostly eaten dry rations. These dishes, which she had never seen before, had completely whetted her appetite.

Long Zheng Yang held a wine cup in one hand and a flask of wine in the other. Every time he filled his cup, he would drink it in one gulp, and he didn't force Ye Wu Chen to drink with him. He poured himself a cup and drank by himself, as if he wanted to vent all of his frustrations into the wine. Ye Wu Chen didn't say anything, and he picked up the bowl in front of Ning Xue. He picked up all of the dishes in front of Ning Xue, and slowly filled the bowl with food. He then placed it in front of Ning Xue, "Xue 'Er, hurry and eat."

"Mm … I'm really hungry." Ningxue's saliva finally flowed out of her mouth. She hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.

After drinking another cup of wine, Long Zheng Yang's eyes became even more hazy. He slammed his wine cup down as he muttered, "Brother Ye, is it right or wrong for me to like her?"

"There's nothing right or wrong about liking someone." Ye Wuchen replied.

"There's nothing right or wrong about liking someone … but why is she the woman that father likes!" Long Zheng Yang said in pain. His hands clenched so tightly that they almost broke the wine cup in his hands.

Ye Wuchen once again filled Ningxue's bowl with food as he calmly said, "Big brother Long, you're drunk."

"Drunk … I really want to be drunk, to be drunk forever. Then I won't have to think about anything, and I won't have to worry about anything. Every time I think I can face her, but every time I see her, I realise that I've failed again. Five years of [Heart Refinement] had tempered my temperament, but I couldn't forget her no matter what. Brother Ye, you're definitely not an ordinary person. With your intelligence, could it be that you really can't guess my identity? "

Ye Wuchen laughed and said, "So what if I know? After all, I am not a person of this world. Your identity and status are not important to me. Whether you are a crown prince or a commoner, I only know that you are the big brother Long who saved my and Ningxue's lives. How can calling you crown prince be more intimate than calling me big brother Long?"

Long Zheng Yang loudly laughed, "If you were an ordinary person, those words would be offensive. But you have the right to say such things … Back then, Senior Sword God had saved the entire Tenryū Province with his own strength and then left, disappearing without a trace. With his ability, it was enough for him to look down on the entire world. Even my father, the Emperor, had to be courteous to him. You are Senior Sword God's successor, and in the future, you will also have the right to look down on the entire world. There's no need for you to look down on the people of the royal family. "

Ye Wuchen smiled, but did not reply. He naturally knew why Long Zheng Yang was so friendly with him despite his status. It was because of the black ring that the old man had given him, causing Elder Long and Long Zheng Yang to think of him as the Sword God's successor. The Sword God's name was known throughout the entire Tianchen Continent, and in Tenryū Province, he was like a legend. The Sword God's successor often represented the next Sword God, and even the royal family had to curry favor with him, rather than provoke him.

It seemed that the old man had silently given him a big gift. Ye Wuchen silently thought to himself.

It was just that the Crown Prince had fallen in love with the Emperor's woman, and the Emperor had openly revealed this to him. Even if he wanted to, he would not be able to get out of this.

Long Zheng Yang filled his wine cup to the brim as he leisurely said, "Brother Ye, if you were me, what would you do?"

A smart person would not answer such a question. If they were careless and got involved in the internal scandal of the Imperial family, they would be consigned to eternal damnation. Ye Wuchen looked at him and slowly said, "If you gave up and never saw her again, what would you do?"

"I spent a whole 5 years, but I still couldn't forget her, so I knew that I would never be able to forget her in this lifetime. If I gave up on her, I would be in pain for the rest of my life." Long Zheng Yang shook his head, tipped his wine cup, and downed it once again.

"What if you're determined to fight with your father?"

Long Zheng Yang's body froze, and his mouth twitched as he lightly sighed, "She was father's woman to begin with, and I shouldn't have fallen in love with her. If I fought with father … it would be disgraceful. Furthermore, how could I possibly win against Father? "

"Do you want to live in pain for the rest of your life, or do you want to disregard everything and fight to the death for a woman? Big brother Long, make your choice. I'm just an outsider."

After going around in a circle, Long Zheng Yang hadn't said anything at all. Ye Wuchen raised his wine cup and took a small sip, then slightly frowned. The wine that Long Zheng Yang had ordered was naturally the best wine in this restaurant, but this wine was far from what Wuchen remembered. Wuchen put down his wine cup, and thought to himself: Tenryū Province was like Hua Xia from 1,000 years ago. There was no modern technology like Hua Xia, and even their wine brewing was a complete mess.

Long Zheng Yang was silent for a long time. Ye Wuchen filled Long Zheng Yang's wine cup as he casually asked, "For big brother Long to be so infatuated with her, she must be a fairy-like woman. Which family's girl is so lucky?"

Long Zheng Yang raised his wine cup, but this time, he didn't drink it in one go. Instead, he took a small sip, then put it down as he said in disappointment, "It's been so many years, but I've never found someone who I can speak my heart to. They either flatter me or become yes-men, or they don't even dare to say a word. I've always longed for a friend like Brother Ye who can treat me as a normal friend. "He laughed bitterly and sighed," This is the helplessness under the glamorous appearance of the Emperor's family. "

The corners of Ye Wuchen's mouth twitched slightly. The helplessness of an emperor's family … because you were born into an emperor's family, you can say such things. However, if you could choose to become a commoner one day, would you really choose to do so?

"That person … she's really like a fairy-like person. I was born into an emperor's family, and I've seen countless beauties. However, after seeing her, I realised how unbearably vulgar the women I admired before were. 5 years ago, I saw her for the first time, and I was so shocked that I lost my soul. That was also the first day she came to Heavenly Dragon City. She was 17 that year, and she came with the Southern Emperor to visit father … father's reaction was exactly the same as mine. He unhesitatingly asked Nanhuang Suzerain to betroth her to him. Nanhuang Suzerain agreed on the spot, but gave her a deadline – she could only enter the palace when she was 25 years old. During this period of time, she would live in Sky Dragon City, and no one would be allowed to interfere with her actions. "

"Nanhuangzong?" Ye Wuchen's heart jumped. He once again heard the words' Southern Emperor '. ^-^^-^
