Chapter 155: You’re Overthinking
Mingyan remembered what Feiyan had said before: “Even if the old emperor himself attacks, he won’t be able to keep you here…”
So, Feiyan’s mother had been here all along. No wonder she had said that…
Huang Junru was also a Human Gateway Realm cultivator. It was unclear who was stronger, her or the old emperor. But it was clear that if Huang Junyi wanted to protect Mingyan, the old emperor wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Mingyan thought for a moment, then it dawned on him. When the Huang family had asked him to come along with Feiyan, had they already guessed that Yin Hanyan would ask for his help?
They knew the old emperor of the Sheng Yuan Dynasty needed to extend his life, and they knew his constitution was special and might be able to help. So, they had asked him to come along?
And to ensure his safety, Huang Junru had come personally?
But why? Just to make the Sheng Yuan Dynasty owe him a favor?
But he was he, and the Huang family was the Huang family… Although he was on good terms with Huang Feiyan, and the entire Huang family was close to him, would they go so far as to have Huang Junru herself come just to make the Sheng Yuan Dynasty owe him a favor?
This favor was for him, not the Huang family…
He couldn’t figure it out.
Because he didn’t know that in the eyes of the Huang family, he was already one of them…
And for their own family, the Huang family would naturally do their best to nurture him.
After Yin Hanyan broke through to the Human Gateway Realm, this favor would become another layer of protection for him.
The Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sacred Land, the Huang family, the Sheng Yuan Dynasty… with so many Sacred Lands, prominent families, and dynasties behind him, anyone who wanted to harm him would have to think twice about whether they could shake the foundations of these powers.
Yin Hanyan’s beautiful eyes were melancholic. “So, are you willing to help?”
Mingyan thought for a moment. Since Feiyan’s mother had asked him to help, he had no reason to hesitate.
He trusted the Huang family. This trust had been established a long time ago. The Huang family hadn’t used despicable means to force him to help when he was weak and insignificant. This was truly rare.
And Huang Junyi had also taken good care of him. Huang Feiyan was his friend. He trusted the Huang family, and he naturally trusted Huang Junru.
So, he said, “I don’t know if I can be of any help.”
Yin Hanyan smiled faintly. “If you truly possess that constitution, then your blood should contain an extremely powerful life force. In the past, those with special constitutions often used their blood to heal their comrades and extend their lives. That kind of blood is extremely mystical. Ordinary wounds can heal instantly. Even wounds that damage the Great Dao can be suppressed. If it’s not a serious injury, it might even heal completely. We’re very certain of this. His Majesty’s lifespan should have been a few hundred years longer, but he suffered a Dao injury in his youth, which shortened it. Your blood can surely suppress the Dao injury. If it can, then His Majesty’s lifespan will be extended.”
“If you’re willing to help, then I hope you’ll come to the Sheng Yuan Dynasty again in half a year,” she said. “Before that, I hope you can provide a small amount of blood for us to confirm if it’s effective for His Majesty.”
“If it’s truly effective, in half a year, I will personally come to invite you and Holy Master Yue Ying.”
Half a year? Why half a year? Mingyan thought for a moment and nodded.
Jade Peony walked in. Mingyan pricked his finger and gave her a very small amount of blood.
“Thank you,” Empress Yin smiled.
Mingyan nodded. “Then I’ll take my leave, Your Majesty.”
Empress Yin nodded slightly and watched him leave, her eyelids drooping slightly.
Jade Peony brought the blood to her and handed it to her.
She took the blood, examined it carefully, and sighed. “The life force is indeed extremely strong. This person’s regenerative ability must be terrifying…”
“His aura is very strong. Although he’s at the early Qi Sea Realm, I think even the current Bei Ming Ni is probably no match for him,” Jade Peony said softly.
Empress Yin put away the blood and smiled faintly. “He’s your future husband. You should be happy. Why are you not in high spirits?”
“I’ve never believed in fate.” Jade Peony shook her head, her cherry-colored eyes calm.
“Do you know that someone once told Gu Hanshuang that she would also become Mingyan’s Dao companion?” Empress Yin smiled.
Jade Peony chuckled. “Then I look forward to seeing Gu Hanshuang nestled against a man like a little woman.”
As she spoke, a faint look of disdain appeared on her beautiful face. “That scene will surely be unforgettable for me.”
“Hehe.” Empress Yin smiled and shook her head. “It’s good that you and Mingyan are keeping your distance. The Baize Saint’s divination is not necessarily accurate. How can a Saint easily predict a fate that even the Great Dao cannot control?”
If Mingyan were here, he would likely be shocked, because Empress Yin and Jade Peony were talking about a Saint from the Demon Clan.
With a Great Emperor reigning, the suppression of the Great Dao was severe, and it was extremely difficult for cultivators to become Saints. So, the Holy Masters of the top Sacred Lands and prominent families were only at the Human Gateway Realm.
And the Demon Clan actually had a Demon Saint…
“The Huang family values Mingyan too much. If the rumors are true, and the Huang family’s Phoenix Blood Pool has dried up, then it’s very likely that Mingyan is the one they’ve chosen to carry on their bloodline. I heard that he’s also very close to Huang Junru’s daughter, Huang Feiyan. It’s very likely the two of them will get married in the future. It’s fine for you to be his friend, but if you really want something to happen between you two, I would be worried.” Empress Yin chuckled.
Jade Peony shook her head gently. “I have no special thoughts about him, Your Majesty. You’re overthinking.”
But then she looked a bit strange. “Does the Huang family really value Mingyan so much?”
“Just now, His Majesty sent me a mental message, telling me that Huang Junru herself had arrived. After I summoned Mingyan, she directly appeared, as if to remind us not to act rashly.” Empress Yin chuckled. “Just now, Mingyan’s expression changed slightly. I’m afraid Huang Junru sent him a mental message and said something to him…”
“A Family Head of a prominent family personally protecting Mingyan, isn’t that called valuing him? The Huang family’s Huang Junyi is also nearby. And I guess Yue Wu Xia is also here, just not showing herself. And… Yue Wu Xia’s true strength… hmph, this Mingyan, he’s really untouchable. It’s a pity we discovered his existence too late. If we had discovered him earlier, it wouldn’t have been so complicated.” The Empress sighed softly. “Unless it’s absolutely necessary, it’s better not to make an enemy of him.”
Jade Peony nodded gently. “Naturally, I have no hostility towards him. But if he and Gu Hanshuang become enemies, that would be fun.”
As she spoke, she smiled.
