Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 970
Chapter 970 Unforeseen Circumstances
If a historian came to the Celestial Realm through the Forbidden Land of Heaven and Man, he would definitely be surprised after some understanding. The reason for that was because the human race in the Celestial Realm, regardless of whether it was the administrative system or the composition of power, was very similar to the Ming Dynasty.
The only difference was that the human race in the Celestial Realm was not ruled by a single person. The people’s livelihood, this is Emperor Wen’s decision. The Martial Sage had the final say in leading the troops to battle.
Although the two systems often intersect, they are absolutely independent in terms of terms of reference.
The Celestial Realm was different from Primordial world. There was only one human regime here. It was the Celestial Saint Dynasty, also known as the Celestial Dynasty, which Emperor Wen Martial Sage was jointly responsible for.
Apart from the Celestial Dynasty, most of the territories that the Celestial Realm adapted to human habitation were rivers and rivers. Therefore, apart from the human race, the Aquatic Race and Desolate race also dominated the entire Celestial Realm.
These three races were on par in terms of strength, but in terms of economic civilization, the humans and the aquatic races had absolute advantages.
The capital of the Heavenly Dynasty was called the Heavenly Capital, and there were two sacred lands in the entire Heavenly Capital. One was the Wen Imperial Palace, where Emperor Wen was, and the other was the Martial Sage’s Martial Sacred Palace.
Prince An’s Mansion, where Qing Yangzui Wei resided, was located at the intersection of the Wen Imperial Palace and the Martial Sacred Palace. Moreover, he was the only prince in the Heavenly Capital who had obtained the approval of the Martial Sage of Emperor Wen and was able to build the mansion as tall as the outer walls of the Wen Imperial Palace and the Martial Sacred Palace.
Such a gracious encounter was enough to show how high Prince An Qingyang Longlin’s status in the Celestial Realm was. However, everyone who knew Qingyang Longlin well knew that the main reason why he was able to become an Extreme Mortal Official was because of Imperial Concubine Kong.
Imperial Concubine Kong was not only the biological mother of the First Prince, but her own family was also very powerful. Qingyang Longlin relied on Imperial Concubine Kong and the outstanding military contributions he had made against Desolate race over the years. To be able to obtain his current status and fortune was not a fluke. Instead, it should be said that it was only logical.
Logically speaking, Prince An was already above ten thousand people under one person. Now, he should be rewarded for his ambition and be proud of himself.
However, everyone in Tiandu knew that Prince An’s life wasn’t easy. His legendary daughter, Qing Yangzui Wei, who was known as the “number one beauty in the Heavenly Dynasty”, had been under house arrest for over a hundred years.
In the past hundred years, Qing Yang Zui Wei had always wanted to leave Prince An’s Mansion. However, every time she escaped, Prince An would catch her back. That was why this matter was so troublesome that the entire city was filled with storms. Everyone knew about it.
Today is the fifth day of the fifth month of the Celestial calendar. Because contemporary Emperor Wen was born on this day, according to the rules of the Celestial Dynasty, today is the “Emperor Wen Birthday”. It is one of the biggest festivals in the Celestial Dynasty. When it comes to the importance of this festival, it is estimated to be even more important than the Chinese New Year.
Of course, there was another festival that was almost as important as Emperor Wen’s Birthday. It was Wu Christmas.
On Emperor Wen’s birthday, all families would gather their immediate family members, as well as the more important relatives of their collateral families. Everyone worshipped their ancestors together, chanted poems, wrote magnificent prose, sang as a celebration, and ended with a sumptuous dinner.
It was just past noon. Prince An Qingyang Longlin and the entire Qing Yang Clan had just finished their ancestral worship. Then, everyone gathered in the back garden of Prince An’s mansion to chant poems and prose.
The gathering place of these people was in front of the Feilong Pavilion. Long Tianba, as the young master of the First Lady’s family of Prince An’s Manor, was also on the Feilong Pavilion’s side.
However, Long Tianba had never been interested in poetry or writing, especially when he saw that the person playing the zither in the Feilong Pavilion was actually a man. He stood up and left without any hesitation.
Long Tianba followed Wei Yan Lake to the northwest of Fei Long Pavilion. He had just arrived near Zui Wei Bie Yuan when he heard a zither sound. Long Tianba immediately smiled when he heard the zither music. He took two steps towards Zui Wei Bie Yuan.
Just as Long Tianba was about to approach the entrance to the back garden of Zui Wei Bie Yuan, he suddenly stopped. Long Tianba thought to himself as he looked at Zui Wei Bie Yuan’s back garden. In the end, Long Tianba shook his head and prepared to leave.
“Cousin Tianba, since you’ve already come, why don’t you just come in and have a seat?”
A sweet voice sounded from within the courtyard. There weren’t any servants or maids in the courtyard, only the eldest young miss of Prince An’s Manor, Qing Yang Zuiwei. Therefore, it was only natural that the person who called Long Tianba was “Qing Yang Zuiwei”.
Seeing that he had already been discovered, Long Tianba shook his head and sighed. Then, he forcefully gathered his spirits and walked towards Zui Wei Bie Yuan.
Long Tianba walked all the way through the back garden of Zui Wei Bie Yuan. After passing through the courtyard that he entered three times, he saw Qing Yang Zui Wei sitting in the middle of the playground.
Today, Qing Yangzui Wei was wearing a water-blue water-sleeved dress. Her straight, pitch-black and smooth hair was tied to her back with a light blue ribbon. She wore a bamboo hat on her head. The white veil on the bamboo hat enveloped Qing Yangzui Wei’s entire body.
Qingyang Zuiwei waved her hand and a glass of red jade wine filled with fine wine slowly floated towards Long Tianba. Long Tianba’s eyes lit up when he saw Qing Yang Zuiwei’s glass of wine. He quickly caught the glass and gulped it down in one gulp.
After drinking, Long Tianba pouted and sighed endlessly, “Xiao Wei, can’t you drink a little more of this’ Drunken Wei Wine ‘every time? Every time you come, it’s a cup. This is too unsatisfying.”
“Cousin Tianba, we have an agreement. Help me return Jiang Feng to the Celestial Realm. I will prepare a glass of Drunken Wei Wine for you every five days. Once Jiang Feng returns to the Celestial Realm successfully, I guarantee that you will have a good time drinking it.”
“Oh my dear sister, don’t mention that Jiang Feng to me. Do you know how stupid that guy is? Let me tell you, I’m so angry that I can’t help but think of him now.”
“What? Something happened to Jiang Feng?” Qingyang Zuiwei stood up abruptly. Her concerned gaze emerged from behind the white veil. Even if Long Tianba didn’t see it clearly, he could almost feel it.
Long Tianba reluctantly put down the red jade wine cup in his hand. Then, he looked at Qing Yangzui Wei and began to tell her everything about how Jiang Feng had obtained the reverse current inheritance, how he had used his soul essence to help Xiao Ding rebuild his soul, and how Jiang Feng had threatened him.
Although Long Tianba had tried his best to speak of Jiang Feng from a fair and just perspective, he still couldn’t resist cursing at Jiang Feng as he spoke.
“This fellow is simply an elm head. I don’t understand. Isn’t he just a few humans from the lower realms? Those ant-like characters are worth this fellow consuming his soul essence?”
After listening to Long Tianba’s words, Qing Yangzui Wei heaved a long sigh of relief. “Fortunately, he has already obtained the Anti-Current Inheritance. As long as he accepts the Death Inheritance, Limitless Inheritance, and Seamless Inheritance, then he won’t be in any danger in the lower realms anymore.”
When the time was ripe, he would be able to return to the Celestial Realm very soon. “As for the little injury to his soul essence, although it’s troublesome, I still have a way to help him recover.”
“Of course you can make up for that little injury, but if this fool persists, even if you can help him make up for it a hundred times, you won’t be able to hold him back …”
“What? Make up for it a hundred times?” Qingyang Zuiwei was such a smart person. She quickly found the key words from Long Tianba’s words.
When Long Tianba heard Qing Yangzui Wei’s words, he immediately knew that he had made a slip of the tongue. He quickly covered his mouth and said hesitantly, “Then what … I … Xiao Wei, I’m going to participate in the Heavenly Human Martial Election. I can’t help you with Jiang Feng’s matter anymore. Let’s talk about it after my Heavenly Human Martial Election is over.”
After Long Tianba finished speaking, he stood up and left. Qing Yangzui Wei hurriedly shouted twice but could not stop him.
The conversation between Long Tianba and Qingyang Zuiwei in the Celestial Realm was naturally not clear to Jiang Feng, who was Sister Primordial’s Celestial Realm. However, Jiang Feng, who had just emerged from the Reverse Current Forbidden Land, immediately realized that something was amiss.
He secretly placed Xiao Ding in the camp of the Cross Demon Corps and began to look for Nie Ji Yun and the others.
However, Jiang Feng was dumbfounded. Nie Ji Yun was nowhere to be found in the camp of the Cross Demon Corps, including Cloud Tide Palace.
If only Nie Ji Yun had disappeared, Jiang Feng wouldn’t be too worried. The most important thing was that Xuanyuan Diji, Old Huang, and the others had also disappeared.
Jiang Feng had tried to sense Xuanyuan Diji and Old Huang, but in the end, he was unable to sense their existence.
Jiang Feng rushed over to the Holy Church in a hurry. He knew that Alec had something to do with Nie Ji Yun, Xuanyuan Diji, and Old Huang’s sudden disappearance.
Jiang Feng hurriedly ran to the Sacred Church. He didn’t even have the patience to wait for the announcement. He directly pushed open the door of the Sacred Church and rushed in.
The moment Jiang Feng entered the Sacred Church, he immediately discovered that something was wrong. The entire Sacred Church was pitch black as ink, and he could not see anything with his fingers.
Not only was Jiang Feng unable to see anything in the church, he was even unable to release his divine sense.
Suddenly, a dozen sounds of air-piercing rang out. Jiang Feng felt a sharp aura rushing towards him. These ten auras clearly carried intense killing intent. It seemed that they had already been ambushing him here for a long time.
Jiang Feng didn’t have time to think too much. He immediately took out the 5-star Knight Holy Sword and put on his Holy Knight Armor.
Bang!
Bang, bang, bang …
Dozens of powerful magical powers struck Jiang Feng, causing him to vomit blood and fly backwards. As soon as he landed on the ground, a shout came from the church, “Who! Who dares to be presumptuous in the Holy Church? Someone, catch the assassin!”
Jiang Feng sat on the ground, his back leaning against a wall. Although Jiang Feng couldn’t see everything in front of him, and even though the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard beside his ears, Jiang Feng’s face was filled with a cold smile.
