Chapter 179 Golden Sprouts Arrive
Lin Zhao walked out of the Youlan Palace with the scroll given to him by the Youlan Empress. After learning about the Youlan Empress, the Youlan Emperor, and the Imperial Advisor, Lin Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

"I thought... it was just a simple emotional and ethical entanglement."

I never expected that Emperor Youlan could do this.

"The imperial family has always believed in the supremacy of strength. Emperor Youlan's actions seem absurd, but if they succeed, they will be a great victory. Unfortunately, he is too confident in his blood ties with his brother whom he has never met and has underestimated the other party's ambition."

Lin Zhao thought about it and realized that Emperor Youlan treated Ning Wengui like his own son, which showed that he trusted this kinship very much.

"I heard that the previous Emperor Youlan only had three sons, two of whom died young, leaving only him as the only one who survived. I guess that's why he values ​​and believes in blood ties so much."

"It seems that Youlan's momentum has long been exhausted," Grandma Honghu concluded.

Lin Zhao weighed the scroll in his hand and said, "Let's go to the Thunder Palace."

Grandma Honghu exclaimed in surprise, "I thought you would hand it over to the Palace Master of Liangyi Palace."

Lin Zhao said, "It's not that it's impossible, it's just that I don't know how to talk to Ning Wengui after I know these things."

At first, I just felt a little awkward when I saw him, but later, because we were fighting side by side, that awkwardness disappeared.

But now that Lin Zhao knows Ning Wengui's background, she feels a sense of kinship with him.

how to say?

His biological father wanted to kill him, his nominal father almost became his accomplice, and his biological mother was about to die.

...so miserable

She can't comfort people, so it's better not to see them.

"Then you may have miscalculated; he's here."

Just as Lin Zhao was about to fly away on his sword, he felt a gaze following him like a shadow.

She turned her head and saw a silver-haired boy in a purple python robe looking at her from not far away.

The setting sun casts a golden glow, its afterglow merging into the other's purple eyes, creating a beautiful yet melancholic scene.

After a moment's thought, Lin Zhao sheathed her bone sword and went over to greet him.

Ning Wengui looked at her intently: "Are you going to the Ancestral Phoenix Continent?"

"Not yet," Lin Zhao said. "I plan to visit the Yaochi Holy Land and the Thunder Palace."

Ning Wengui suddenly asked her, "May I hug you?"

Lin Zhao: "..."

She sighed and took out a purple space stone from her ring.

"I saw this in the weapon-refining hall and thought it suited me, so I bought it." Lin Zhao handed it to him, waiting for him to take it.

“Ning Wengui, I am not a good person, nor am I a Daoist partner who can spend your life with you.” Lin Zhao sighed, “To be honest, I don’t know how to face you yet, after all, we have both been harmed quite a bit.”

Ning Wengui stared at the gleaming purple space stone on the girl's fingertip, remaining silent for a long time before finally saying, "If I can't hug you, can you come with me to see the snow?"

Lin Zhao refused again: "I'm sorry, I have a lot of things to do later."

"You don't plan to find a cultivation partner in the future?"

Lin Zhao said, "At least the family needs to be stable. I will only consider these things after I ascend to immortality."

"Ascension..." Ning Wengui sighed, "It seems that with my fate, I will not be able to reach that point."

He seemed to know something about his background.

Moreover, he was fully aware of Lin Zhao's weaknesses.

For example, that little bit of soft-heartedness towards acquaintances.

"Fate is a strange thing." Lin Zhao laughed heartily.

“I used to believe in fate too, but I’ve realized that whether it’s the destined Phoenix Maiden or the Lin family’s discarded Phoenix, aren’t we all just me? So, no one can really say whether you’ll ultimately become a phoenix or a roasted chicken. Although I can’t participate in your destiny, if someone tries to control you, I can help you kill them!” Ning Wengui took the purple space stone: “If I can control my destiny, after I ascend, would you be willing to go see the snow with me?”

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment: "I'm sorry."

Ning Wengui smiled and sighed, "He's not even willing to tell a lie."

Lin Zhao told the truth: "I have no interest in these things, and I can't make any promises to you."

Ning Wengui slowly clenched the purple space stone: "Goodbye."

Lin Zhao: "..."

Although she didn't know why the other party suddenly became so cold, based on the sympathy she felt for Ning Wengui, she didn't say anything and simply flew away on her sword.

Once Lin Zhao was no longer in sight, Cheng Shaoyan, dressed in a plain dress, slowly walked to his side with the help of a maid and pulled him to sit down on the steps.

Seeing her son's exhaustion, she patted her own legs and let Ning Wengui rest with her as a pillow.

"You really like that child, Zhao Zhao, don't you?"

After Ning Wengui lay down, she asked softly.

Ning Wengui slowly closed her purple eyes, which were identical to hers but even deeper and clearer: "Mother, she doesn't like me."

"I'm sorry, your mother hasn't been by your side all these years."

“My mother is very good to me,” Ning Wengui said. “I will follow my mother’s wishes and completely destroy this empire, making that guy pay the price.”

Cheng Shaoyan shook her head: "I have no choice in this life, I will spend my whole life in prison trying to make a living for my son. But I hope my son can have his own life."

She paused, tears welling in her eyes: "But child, you are so much like me, you desperately need someone to rely on. We, mother and child, have spent our whole lives seeking affection that we can never obtain."

She pleaded for family ties, but her family, in pursuit of power, disregarded her past pleas and separated her from the sword cultivator she had once loved.

He sought love, was imprisoned for over a decade, and only gained freedom in his final days.

Fortunately, in the end, she got what she wanted and had Ning Wengui as her son.

"Having a son like you, I have no regrets." Cheng Shaoyan closed his eyes: "Don't seek revenge for me. Do what you want to do, such as accompanying your beloved girl to see all the scenery in the cultivation world. I believe that Wen Gui will be willing one day."

……

Lin Zhao took a teleportation array, handed the items to the Thunder Palace Master, and then took another teleportation array to arrive near the Yaochi Holy Land.

"I didn't expect that even a body in the fusion stage would find it difficult to withstand this spatial shift," Lin Zhao said, pressing his slightly dizzy head after vomiting profusely.

"Bear with it. You need to reach the Nascent Soul stage to freely control your movement within space," Granny Honghu said, then, sensing something, she added, "Have you and I forgotten something?"

Lin Zhao scratched her head: "Forgot what?"

"Gaga gaga! Aga gaga gaga!"

A three-legged crow, about half a person's height and covered in gray dust, flew over and began pecking at Lin Zhao.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhao's cultivation level was already at the Fusion stage, and he quickly pinned it to the spot.

She remembered something she had forgotten.

"Golden Sprout, how did you find this place?"

The crow transformed into a dirty, blonde girl and spat a mouthful of golden flame at Lin Zhao: "You have the nerve to say that! I just took a nap at the Lin family's house, and when I woke up, they said you were gone! I followed the contract's connection and found the Yulan Empire, and you immediately changed your location again! You think it's easy for me?!"

Lin Zhao dodged the golden flames, realizing his mistake, and quickly tried to appease him: "After I finish my business, I'll take you to the Ancestral Phoenix Continent for a good meal."

Jin Ya snorted: "I won't forgive you unless it's the flesh of a fifth-grade spirit beast!"

I'm very sorry, I'll only be posting at least 8,000 words today to make up for yesterday's.

There's nothing I can do. My company forced me to work an hour overtime yesterday, there was no way to avoid it, and they didn't even pay overtime. It's so frustrating, I'm so annoyed.
