80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled - Chapter 232
Chapter 232: I Miss Him a Lot
Lin Jiufeng had no idea about the actions of the Taichu God Dynasty.
After leaving the Martial Temple, he directly returned to the imperial capital and the Cold Palace.
But there was a person kneeling in front of the Cold Palace.
Lin Jiufeng noticed this when he came back and said in surprise, “Yulin, why are you kneeling here?”
Princess Yulin turned around and shouted in surprise, “Big Grand-Uncle…”
“You weren’t in the Cold Palace?” After Princess Yulin shouted this, she looked at Lin Jiufeng in embarrassment.
Since Lin Jiufeng wasn’t around, didn’t this mean that she had knelt there for half a day for nothing?
Thinking of this, Princess Yulin wished that she could find a hole to hide in, especially when she was stared at by Lin Jiufeng’s half-smile.
“You didn’t kneel for a long time, did you?” Lin Jiufeng smiled and asked.
“No, I just knelt down, and then Big Grand-Uncle came back.” Princess Yulin quibbled. How could she admit it?
“When saying this, wipe the traces on your legs clean,” Lin Jiufeng said. He passed by Yulin and opened the door of the Cold Palace.
Princess Yulin immediately looked at her knees. The marks were very obvious. Clearly, she hadn’t knelt for just a while.
She awkwardly changed the subject and asked, “Big Grand-Uncle, when did you come back?”
“Come in. I’ve only been back for a few days.” Lin Jiufeng invited Princess Yulin in and said.
Princess Yulin immediately came in. She looked at Lin Jiufeng and smiled obsequiously. “Big Grand-Uncle, did you kill that person in the palace last night?”
“Why are you asking this?” Lin Jiufeng asked in a relaxed manner. He was in a very good mood now. He knew the process of the cultivation for the False Immortal Realm now, so his words were much more relaxed.
“Because I worship you,” Princess Yulin said respectfully.
“Whether or not I’m the one who killed him, there’s no difference. You just need to know that that person is dead,” Lin Jiufeng said.
Princess Yulin understood now. She didn’t pursue the matter further but asked something else.
“Big Grand-Uncle, how long are you planning to stay this time?”
Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and said, “I’m not sure. It might be a few months or a few years.”
“Then, Big Grand-Uncle, can I follow and learn sword techniques from you?” Princess Yulin asked expectantly.
“Learn from me?” Lin Jiufeng was dazed.
“That’s right. Decades ago, you brought me to the Plains for the first time and taught me sword techniques. Until now, I haven’t learned from anyone else. You are my Big Grand-Uncle and also my Teacher Master,” Princess Yulin said.
Lin Jiufeng was speechless. Thinking about it carefully, that was indeed the case.
“Moreover, my cultivation level is very low now. Every time the Yuhua God Dynasty encounters a big problem, Big Grand-Uncle has to take action. Brother Emperor and I feel very embarrassed. We always trouble Big Grand-Uncle.”
“Now that Brother Emperor isn’t walking the path of cultivation, he won’t be able to learn from you. But I can, so I want to improve my strength. This way, if I encounter other troubles, there’s no need to trouble Big Grand-Uncle,” Princess Yulin said sincerely.
“You can learn from me. During my time in the imperial capital, just follow me.” Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and agreed to teach Princess Yulin.
After all, she was his descendant and Emperor Yuan’s granddaughter.
Moreover, Lin Jiufeng was indeed the one who led her into the path of cultivating. Since then, he had let her grow freely until now. Princess Yulin’s talent was really very powerful. She relied on her own efforts to reach the King Realm.
Moreover, teaching her was just a matter of convenience to Lin Jiufeng.
Princess Yulin was overjoyed and looked at Lin Jiufeng excitedly.
“Big Grand-Uncle, you agreed?”
Lin Jiufeng looked at her and smiled gently. He said, “I agree. Go back and pack some clothes. Stay next door to my courtyard. I will guide you.”
“Alright, I’ll go back and tell Brother Emperor now. Brother Emperor will definitely be very happy.” Princess Yulin was overjoyed. She, who was in her twenties, was like a little girl who had received her beloved gift. She was overjoyed and skipped away.
Lin Jiufeng looked at her back and said thoughtfully, “Is this the joy of descendants?”
After Emperor Yuan died, Lin Jiufeng treated himself as a loner and lived quietly in this world.
After that, he took care of Emperor Ming and Emperor De mostly for the sake of Emperor Yuan.
This was the first time such a descendant was overjoyed in front of him.
“Princess Yulin is your direct descendant. The same blood flows in her body as yours. Moreover, she’s Emperor Yuan’s biological granddaughter, so we can safely say that she’s also your granddaughter,” the white cat said.
“The days from now on should be very interesting. I will get used to this feeling.” Lin Jiufeng didn’t reject being closer to Princess Yulin. He didn’t interact much with the feelings of the world, so interacting more with them was also a kind of help to perfecting his life.
…
Princess Yulin ran to the palace excitedly and went to look for Emperor De.
Emperor De looked at the happy and excited Princess Yulin and smiled lovingly. “What happened to make you so happy?”
“Make a guess?” Princess Yulin said happily. She had always been a very aloof persona. There were very few moments where she was so excited.
Emperor De looked at his younger sister and was in a daze. How many years had it been since he saw Princess Yulin smile so happily and speak mischievously?
It seemed that ever since their father passed away, Princess Yulin seemed to have grown up overnight. She no longer acted coquettishly, cute, and naughty like when she was young.
Seeing it again now, Emperor De sighed with emotion.
He hurriedly woke up from his trance and guessed. “You found the love of your life?”
“What? You can’t even guess accurately.” Princess Yulin rolled her eyes cutely.
“What is it then? I can only think of this. Other than that, what else can make you so happy?” Emperor De asked with a smile.
“Forget it, I’ll tell you,” Princess Yulin said disinterestedly. Then, her eyes lit up. Her bright eyes flickered, and she became excited again.
“Big Grand-Uncle is back. He’s staying in the Cold Palace,” Princess Yulin said happily.
Emperor De stood up in surprise. His eyes lit up as he asked, “Really?”
“Of course it’s true. Moreover, Big Grand-Uncle even agreed to let me move over and live with him to teach me sword techniques.” Princess Yulin was excited and happy.
“Really?” He grabbed Princess Yulin and asked happily. Emperor De was just like Princess Yulin this time. He felt that his surprise was beyond words.
“Of course. That’s why I’m here to tell you that I won’t care about anything else from now on. I will focus on cultivating with Big Grand-Uncle,” Princess Yulin said.
“No problem. You don’t have to worry about the current affairs of the Yuhua God Dynasty. You don’t have to worry about the intelligence agencies either. The only thing you have to do now is to focus on cultivating with Big Grand-Uncle!” Emperor De said excitedly.
“Yes, I will work hard. This is a rare opportunity,” Princess Yulin said firmly.
“Go then. Remember not to make Big Grand-Uncle angry,” Emperor De advised.
“Don’t worry. Your younger sister is so cute, she won’t make Big Grand-Uncle angry,” Princess Yulin said proudly.
This wouldn’t have happened to Princess Yulin in the past, but now, she was really too happy. She couldn’t suppress the joy in her heart.
She released a part of her suppressed nature.
After showing off to Emperor De for a while, Princess Yulin left. She brought along a few sets of clothes to the Cold Palace and officially began to receive Lin Jiufeng’s teachings.
…
When Lin Jiufeng started teaching Princess Yulin, he first checked Princess Yulin’s foundation and found that it was very solid.
This way, he could teach her profound sword techniques, the discipline of the sword path cultivation, and the comprehension of the sword path nomological power.
These were too profound for Princess Yulin. They far exceeded what a King Realm cultivator could comprehend.
Usually, when Lin Jiufeng casually slashed out with his sword energy, the sword nomological powers that came with it were enough for Princess Yulin to comprehend for a long time.
Fortunately, Lin Jiufeng didn’t scold her. He chatted with her every day and gave her pointers on the areas that she was puzzled about. Other than that, Lin Jiufeng spent the rest of the time cultivating his body and mind, looking at the sky and the earth, drinking tea, and drinking wine.
In order to show her filial piety to Lin Jiufeng, Princess Yulin specially went to the palace to bring over Emperor De’s treasured wine to drink with Lin Jiufeng and the little white cat.
The days flew by. In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
This month was simply too fast for Princess Yulin. Her progress was also fast. She was like a blank piece of paper. No matter what Lin Jiufeng wrote, she tried her best to comprehend it.
A month later was the new year for the common people.
Every family was reunited, decorated with lanterns and decorations. The entire world was tainted with happiness.
Lin Jiufeng had never experienced the festive atmosphere of the new year before. But this year, Princess Yulin actually pasted the word ‘Fortune’ on the two courtyards in the Cold Palace, hung the lanterns, and even busied herself with a table of delicacies.
She said to Lin Jiufeng, “This is the first new year that I’m spending with my Big Grand-Uncle. It’s naturally worth remembering.”
Lin Jiufeng chuckled and said, “So you went to the imperial kitchen and brought these delicacies?”
Princess Yulin smiled awkwardly and said, “Well, I don’t know how to cook. If I cook, it will ruin this new year.”
“That will also be a special kind of new year for us. I probably won’t forget it,” Lin Jiufeng said with a smile.
Lin Jiufeng saw how busy Princess Yulin was and finally understood the meaning of the word ‘joy of having descendants’.
“Big Grand-Uncle, let’s have a drink.” Princess Yulin took out a jar of good wine. It was really fragrant.
Lin Jiufeng took a look and said with a smile, “You took it from your brother again?”
“Yes. He’s the emperor, many people will offer him good wine. This is the masterpiece of a wine brewer. It’s called Immortal Drunk. It means that even immortals will get drunk after drinking it. It’s very rare. Brother couldn’t bear to take it out and hid it, but I manage his intelligence organization, how could I not know where he hides the wine?” Princess Yulin said gleefully.
“So you brought all these Immortal Drunk here?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the wine jars behind Princess Yulin, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
She’s bullying her brother!
“I didn’t bring them all here. I left a jar for him, it’s enough for him to drink. He’s an emperor, he can’t drink too much. He has to maintain a clear mind. Let’s drink this bit of wine together.” Princess Yulin even believed in her own reasoning.
“Alright, let’s drink together.” Lin Jiufeng didn’t ask anymore. At this moment, Emperor De was probably hugging his Immortal Drunk and feeling sad.
The Immortal Drunk wine was really good. This type of wine was probably brewed using an ancient technique, so it was very rare. Lin Jiufeng drank a mouthful and became intoxicated. It wasn’t surprising that Emperor De wanted to hide it.
“I still remember that long ago, when Big Brother and I were still young, Father brought us to drink wine.” Princess Yulin recalled.
“Your father really likes to drink,” Lin Jiufeng said with a smile.
“Big Grand-Uncle, did Father stay by your side when he was young?” Princess Yulin asked curiously.
“Yes, he stayed by my side for ten years.” Lin Jiufeng nodded.
“Ten years!” Princess Yulin was envious.
“That’s not right. If he has been by your side for ten years, why is my father still so weak and still tricked by the Mountain Ghost Race?” Princess Yulin asked, puzzled.
Lin Jiufeng couldn’t help but laugh. To be called weak by his own daughter, if Emperor Ming was still alive, he would definitely be very depressed.
Of course, this was the truth.
“Your father was indeed quite weak, but at that time, the spiritual energy recovery had just begun. Your father’s cultivation talent wasn’t as high as yours, to begin with, so it’s normal for him to be a little weaker,” Lin Jiufeng said.
“Big Grand-Uncle, tell me about Grandpa Emperor.” Princess Yulin’s face turned pink from drinking and she asked curiously.
“Your Grandpa Emperor…” Lin Jiufeng sank into his memories.
He thought of the young man who had always called him Big Brother.
The younger brother who still respected him as always after he was banished to the Cold Palace.
“Your Grandpa Emperor is an idealist and a realist. He’s an outstanding talent. Your father and brother are all very similar to him, but they are all inferior to him.”
“I… I miss him a lot…”
