Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique-Chapter 1573 - 1574: Engagement? (Second Update)

Cangqiong Mountain Range.

After more than half a month, the originally damaged Cangqiong Mountain Gate has been restored to its former grandeur, though some remnants of destruction can still be seen.

These remnants also attest to the tribulations the Cangqiong Sect once experienced.

With Ling Feng’s speed, he naturally quickly arrived at the mountain gate of the Cangqiong Sect and only then released Yue Yunlan and her attendants.

After fully integrating with the Nihility Lotus, Yue Yunlan has fully recovered; moreover, during these days, even without deliberately cultivating, her cultivation realm has surged rapidly. Originally in the late stage of the Divine Essence Realm, she has, in just two or three days, already broken through to the Divine Sea Realm, reaching approximately the third level of the Divine Sea.

At this rate, Yue Yunlan should also be able to pass the assessment in next year’s disciple selection at the East Spirit Immortal Pond, maybe even directly enter the Inner Sect.

"Finally back, I wonder how father and mother are doing now."

Looking at the familiar mountain gate in front of her, Yue Yunlan couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional. She originally thought she would never have the chance to return alive.

"Sky White Empire, rising from its ruins; Yue Sect Leader must be very busy, I presume."

Ling Feng smiled faintly, believing that Yue Zhonglian and Lady Honglian would be very happy to know Yue Yunlan had fully recovered.

"Yes, in father’s heart, the Sky White Empire always comes first."

Yue Yunlan bit her silver teeth, speaking slowly.

"Actually, Yue Sect Leader cares for you very much in his heart."

Ling Feng turned to glance at Yue Yunlan, speaking with deep meaning.

Yue Zhonglian can definitely be described as a man of iron will; even when trapped, hanging daily above the city wall exposed to the sun and beaten, he never uttered a sound, but when seeing his daughter at death’s door, he couldn’t hold back tears several times.

This father might not be good at expressing, but he definitely keeps his children in his heart.

Just like his third son, Yue Tianqun, although he wasn’t promising, when he learned of Yue Tianqun’s death, Yue Zhonglian locked himself in the room for a whole night, and some even heard sighs and sobs coming from within.

"Sect Leader certainly cares for Miss Yue, but some people are hard to say!"

Qiaoqiao cast a hostile glance at Ling Feng. Ever since overhearing the conversation between Ling Feng and Yue Yunlan, Qiaoqiao’s attitude towards Ling Feng has been somewhat repulsive.

Of course, standing from her perspective, she considers Yue Yunlan her best sister, so it’s understandable for Ling Feng that she has some grievances.

Shaking his head with a smile, Ling Feng did not engage, instead striding to the mountain gate, saying calmly, "I am Ling Feng, specifically bringing Miss Yue back."

"So it’s General Ling!"

The few mountain guarding disciples, upon hearing Ling Feng’s name, hurried forward to greet him. Seeing the relaxed Yue Yunlan standing aside, they became even more excited.

"It’s wonderful, the young lady is back!"

"The young lady is finally okay!"

"I said it before, good people have good returns, the young lady is so kind to us Outer Disciples usually, she would surely have good returns!"

A group of mountain guarding disciples became extremely excited; Ling Feng glanced at Yue Yunlan, not expecting there were so many people who cared about her.

Soon, Ling Feng led Yue Yunlan to Lady Honglian’s residence. Now Yue Zhonglian and several elders are basically assisting Moo Feng in the Imperial City, stabilizing the situation, so they rarely return to the sect.

Sect affairs are handled by Lady Honglian and Wen Tingguang, rebuilding the Cangqiong Sect Mountain Gate.

Red Lotus Residence.

"Mother!"

Seeing her mother again, Yue Yunlan immediately threw herself into Lady Honglian’s arms; only in front of her mother, she was like a child who could act so spoiled.

"Lan’er, are you all well now?"

Lady Honglian tightly hugged her daughter, though she wished for this day to come every day, hoping Yue Yunlan could get better, but she also knew the Nihility Lotus was basically like an illusory legend; yet Ling Feng really did it, he really found the Nihility Lotus and cured Yue Yunlan.

"Yes, daughter is all well now, all thanks to Young Master Ling; otherwise, Lan’er probably really would have died this time."

"Phoo phoo phoo, what are you saying about dying, won’t die won’t die, my Lan’er will never experience such misfortune again." Lady Honglian wiped the teardrops from her eyes, looking up at Ling Feng, smiling slightly, "With Young Master Ling caring for my Lan’er, I can be at ease."

"Mother..." Yue Yunlan blushed slightly, raising her beautiful eyes to glance at Ling Feng, lightly pursing her delicate lips, "Daughter and Young Master Ling are just... friends."

"Silly girl, why so shy at this point? For Young Master Ling, you bloomed the Three-Life Lotus, and Young Master Ling ventured tirelessly to find the Nihility Lotus for you, it shows how much you value each other in your hearts. Now everything is finally okay, why don’t you pick a good day and settle this marriage?"

Lady Honglian looked at Ling Feng with a beaming smile, "Young Master Ling, I think you wouldn’t refuse, would you?"

"This..."

This time, it was Ling Feng’s turn to be troubled. Unexpectedly, Lady Honglian would be so eager to set the marriage date between him and Yue Yunlan.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing Ling Feng with a troubled expression, Lady Honglian’s face slightly changed; logically, if Ling Feng had feelings for her daughter, he should be happy to accept.

"Sorry, I may not be able to accept the lady’s kindness for now."

Ling Feng shook his head. Let alone being unclear on what decision he should make, even if he really cared for Yue Yunlan, he couldn’t marry her directly.

On his shoulders, he carries the burden of the entire Heavenly Dao Clan; in his subconscious, the reason he doesn’t want to face his feelings is largely because he doesn’t want to involve others.

His nemesis is the Sovereign of the Immortal Domain, the Sky Patrol Clan!

He doesn’t want to see his closest loved ones, even his descendants, facing the same predicament as him. He needs to rely on his own strength to change the survival environment for the Heavenly Dao Clan!

Perhaps only when he completely eradicates the nemesis of the Heavenly Dao Clan, will he dare to truly open his heart.

"Why is that?" Lady Honglian paused, sensing that Ling Feng’s feelings for Yue Yunlan are indeed not cold.

"Alright mother, Young Master Ling has his reasons, let’s not bring up this matter anymore."

Yue Yunlan slightly shook her head towards her mother; Lady Honglian sighed lightly, speaking slowly, "Alright then, you young people have your own plans, I won’t say more."

"Thank you, lady, for understanding."

Ling Feng bowed to Lady Honglian and cast a grateful gaze at Yue Yunlan, then said to Lady Honglian before taking his leave, "I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb the reunion of the lady and Yunlan, farewell!"

As he left the Red Lotus Residence, Ling Feng couldn’t help but sigh; Yue Yunlan was indeed a wonderful girl, but unfortunately, the destiny he carries is too heavy.

What he needs now is strength!

Strength that is powerful enough to overturn this world!

"Now that things here are done, after saying a proper goodbye to Xiao Fan and others, I should quickly return to the East Spirit Immortal Pond."

Taking a deep breath to clear away random thoughts, an incredibly resolute look flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes once again.

His road is destined to be lonely, but since there’s no other choice, he’ll walk it step by step, steadily!
