Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1243 - 1242: Elf Palace

Within the palace.

The elders, seated among them.

Each one with a solemn face, a calm expression.

All exuding a majestic presence, wearing opulent clothes.

When Fang Yu entered the palace, he was shocked by its grandiosity.

In the center of the palace, there was a hundred-meter-long carpet laid out, with towering pillars every ten meters on either side, carved with various patterns and fierce beasts.

At the end of the carpet was the elevated throne.

A hundred meters away, the view was clear.

Fang Yu immediately saw the Elf King on the throne, wearing a crown.

Also seated below on both sides were the white-haired elders and a mighty general in armor.

Fang Yu was not intimidated at all, and followed quietly inside.

The elder who had appeared at the palace gate earlier was slightly surprised; an ordinary person, upon seeing the palace, would have been too overwhelmed to move, yet he seemed calm and composed, unimpressed.

Though Fang Yu was quite shaken.

He still maintained a composed demeanor.

Soon after.

The group arrived at the core position of the palace.

Bai Xiaolan stopped walking, and Fang Yu followed suit.

The elder bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I discovered it was the Princess returning, without any disturbance from others..."

"Father!" Bai Xiaolan saluted.

Fang Yu squinted his eyes and bowed, saying, "Greetings to the Elf King, Your Majesty."

This was entirely on account of Bai Xiaolan, and given his current state, that he paid respects. On Tiandu Mountain, Fang Yu wouldn't bother with this bunch.

The Elf King sat high above.

His gaze fell directly on Fang Yu, his deep eyes like a flame cutting through the crowd.

He said, "Bai Yu Xian Yao... Who... exactly is this person?" His voice authoritative, full of gravity.

Bai Xiaolan responded:

"To Father, this person is the Prince Consort I selected in the Southern Country and brought back specifically to inherit the legacy."

Bai Xiaolan's words were straightforward and crisp, without beating around the bush, directly to the core.

Only now did Fang Yu understand Bai Xiaolan's entire plan.

So, Bai Xiaolan intended to make him the Prince Consort, partly to solve her lifelong issues, and partly for the inheritance of Heaven and Earth Essence.

But...

Why choose him?

What is the reason behind this?

Fang Yu was clueless.

...

The palace was in an uproar.

The elders of the Elf Clan shook their heads, incredulous as they looked at the aged Fang Yu.

Some sighed, some questioned...

Zhou Yunsheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, allow me to say a few words."

"Speak."

"Xian Yao, my sister, not wanting to marry me, Zhou Yunsheng, is understandable... after all, one cannot force feelings between men and women. But Xian Yao's sister avoided our marriage by choosing an ordinary old man as an excuse, that's truly incomprehensible. If he becomes the Prince Consort, the future and prospects of our Elf Clan are worrying! Is the Heaven and Earth Essence, which has been passed down through the Elf Clan, about to be entrusted to a frail old weakling?" Zhou Yunsheng tried to restrain himself, maintaining rationality and politeness.

The crowd nodded.

Zhou Yunsheng's words were met with general agreement.

Among the crowd, a middle-aged man in battle armor, spoke, "Yunsheng, before His Majesty, be careful with your words. Perhaps, this elderly man is a hidden expert?"

"Father... I wouldn't dare speak loosely."

The middle-aged man was Zhou Yunsheng's father, Zhou Zhenchuan, a leading general in the Elf Clan. It was clear that while outwardly reprimanding his son, he was actually helping him.

The Elf King raised his hand and said, "Enough... Xian Yao, do you have anything to say?"

Bai Xiaolan said:

"Father, it's said the rules of our Elf Clan are above all. It's an ancestral rule that if the royal bloodline has a female descendant, she has the right to choose her spouse. As your daughter, I should have this right... The only difference is, I am your only child... Therefore, according to the Elf Clan's rules, if the Prince Consort can pass the test, demonstrating his personal ability and character, he shall have the right to inherit the Heaven and Earth Essence, and ascend the throne."

Bang!

As soon as she finished speaking.

A chair in front suddenly shattered into pieces.

An outsider becoming the king of the Elf Clan, that was unheard of for countless years.

The rule is the rule, no doubt about that.

But...

Entrusting the entire Elf Clan to someone who has no blood relation to the clan is utterly unprecedented.

If it were Zhou Yunsheng, it could be accepted. After all, the Zhou family's influence, status, and reputation match the Elf royal family.

Bai Xiaolan's words were indeed too bold, too extreme!

She directly infuriated the Elf King!

"Xian Yao! How dare you! As the Elf King, I bestowed the marriage upon you allowing you to marry your cousin Zhou Yunsheng. It is an enormous blessing for you. How dare you defy royal decree?" The Elf King said sternly.

"I dare not, Father! I only wish to exercise my rights! Or... are you going to strip even this right away?" Bai Xiaolan argued logically!

"What's wrong with Zhou Yunsheng!?"

The Elf King was angry.

From the beginning.

The Elf King knew his daughter always detested Zhou Yunsheng.

Since the marriage was granted, Bai Xiaolan had been avoiding it everywhere, her personality eccentric, unpredictable, ultimately choosing to leave the Elf Clan, staying away for decades. These decades, the Elf Clan had been searching for the Princess everywhere.

There were times they found Bai Xiaolan, yet she would threaten them with her life!

The royal bloodline must not end; at least there should be offspring.

Should the Princess die, the royal lineage would indeed end!

This was the main reason the Elf King tolerated till today.

However... 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Bai Xiaolan chose an ordinary old man as a Prince Consort, which was not only a challenge to royal authority, but also an insult and misfortune to the entire Elf Clan and royal lineage!

"Father! What's good about Zhou Yunsheng?" Bai Xiaolan retorted.

At this moment.

An elder answered:

"Zhou Yunsheng is the most talented cultivator among the younger generation, his future prospects immeasurable. Just three days ago, he broke through to the Taoist Saint Realm, comprehending basic Space Law. Furthermore... the Zhou family has always defended the country; General Zhou Zhenchuan has guarded the Northern Country for many years without complaints, commanding an army of a hundred thousand with diligence and dedication. In every aspect, Zhou Yunsheng is worthy of the Princess!"

The crowd nodded.

Among the younger generation, they really couldn't find someone on par with Zhou Yunsheng.

These words made Zhou Yunsheng visibly proud, with a hint of arrogance in his expression.

Bai Xiaolan replied:

"Zhou Yunsheng grew up pampered, oppressing civilians, forcibly marrying innocent girls, engaging in all sorts of evil! This person has poor character, bullying others with his power... Can it be that you all choose not to hear or see? Just because his father is a general, his grandfather is a general, and the Zhou family has been generals for generations? Are you afraid of the Zhou Family?"
