Chapter 5099 Introduction
"Hahaha! Brother Su Bai! You've finally arrived!"
Before he arrived, his voice preceded him. Fu Yunxiu burst through the door with a hearty laugh and gave Su Bai a warm hug.
Then, his gaze fell on the two women behind Su Bai.
"Mingya is here too? It's been a long time! Your cultivation has improved quite a bit!" Fu Yunxiu greeted Mingya with a smile, appearing quite familiar with her.
Then, his gaze turned to the unfamiliar face.
Su Yuwei.
"Someone delivered the message you left on Crescent Moon Star to me. I heard you went back to your hometown? And who is this?"
Fu Yunxiu looked at Su Yuwei with some curiosity. Someone that Su Bai had specially brought out of his hometown must be extraordinary.
Su Bai nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I did go back to my hometown and fulfill some wishes."
"As for this one, she is the disciple of my old friend, named Su Yuwei. I brought her out this time because I saw her talent in weapon forging and planned to introduce her to Master Huangshi so that she could follow him and learn the profound art of weapon forging."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunxiu's gaze fell on Su Yuwei again, this time with a mixture of scrutiny and curiosity.
Although Su Yuwei was new to the area, she remained composed and dignified in the face of important figures like Fu Yunxiu and behemoths like the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce.
She wore a light blue dress, like a quietly blooming lotus, with an elegant temperament and a resilient and intelligent look in her eyes.
"A promising talent." Fu Yunxiu thought to himself, then smiled and said, "That old man, Master Huangshi, is always nagging me about how he's worried about not having anyone to inherit his mantle! He has extremely high standards, and ordinary geniuses simply don't catch his eye. But since you, Su Bai, personally recommended him, he must be extraordinary. If he knew that you had found such a fine gem for him, he would be very happy and would probably treat you like a benefactor."
Su Bai smiled and asked, "Is the Venerable One not currently with the Chamber of Commerce? I sent a message earlier but received no reply."
Fu Yunxiu nodded slightly and explained, "Yes, he is in the Great Wilderness, seemingly making final preparations for the supreme treasure that is about to be born. However, judging from the time, he will return to the Wind and Thunder Realm Forest in about a year. At that time, with Immortal Venerable Langhuan personally accompanying and escorting him, his safety will be well guaranteed."
Upon hearing the words "Immortal Venerable Langhuan," Su Bai's heart stirred slightly.
He naturally knew that Luo Yunsheng and Luo Yunyou were going with him to find the Emperor's Secret Treasury that existed in the Heavenly Court's Sea.
Escorting Master Huangshi—this seemingly respectable reason is likely just a convenient excuse that Luo Yunsheng came up with to cover his tracks.
After all, the matter of the Human Emperor's Secret Treasury is far-reaching, concerning the life and death of the Human Emperor's lineage.
Aside from Su Bai, who was "one of their own," they didn't tell anyone else, not even Fu Yunxiu, who was also a prince. This was an absolute secret, to be guarded closely, and not even the closest people could be revealed to it.
Su Bai snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Fu Yunxiu's slightly tired face, teasingly saying, "You've been so busy these past six months, haven't you? I see dark circles under your eyes; you've lost all of the Ninth Prince's charm."
"You still said that!"
Fu Yunxiu glared at him, annoyed, and said with a wry smile, "So many trivial matters, a thousand and one things, it's incredibly annoying. I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past six months. But thankfully, things are moving in a positive direction. It seems the Demon Kingdom can't hold on any longer, and they'll be sending Yu Xian'er back to me soon. With someone to help me share the burden, things should be much easier!"
"Send Yu Xian'er back? Has the Demon Kingdom given in?" Su Bai was somewhat surprised.
During the trial at the Old Demon Cave in Cangzhou, the Demon Kingdom had a grand scheme. They forcibly "recruited" many promising disciples from major forces into the Demon Kingdom, ostensibly for training, but in reality as hostages and brainwashing subjects, to be used as pawns to infiltrate various forces in the future.
Yu Xian'er, a genius whom the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce was grooming, was chosen at that time and forcibly brought into the Demon Kingdom. This matter has always been a source of worry for Fu Yunxiu.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunxiu explained, "This can be considered a chain reaction and positive impact of the battle to attack the three great demon cities."
"With the deterrent effect of that battle, many observing forces in the Myriad Realms saw the shift in the wind and flocked to Taihuang. Among them were even some entities that had been secretly infiltrated by the Demon Kingdom, but whose infiltration was not too serious, and now they were all eager to sever ties."
"Now, those major forces that have been deeply infiltrated by the Demon Kingdom can only go down this dark path. But for those that haven't been infiltrated so deeply, the cost and resistance for the Demon Kingdom to get involved are much greater. After weighing the pros and cons, they simply sent Yu Xian'er back to me, which can be considered a gesture of goodwill and friendship to some extent, hoping that we can at least remain neutral and not completely side with Taihuang, leaving them a glimmer of hope."
Su Bai nodded slightly, then sneered, "But they've miscalculated. They don't know that behind the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce is the Taihuang Heavenly Court, and it's you, Ninth Prince, who's in charge. Their wishful thinking is destined to fail."
Fu Yunxiu waved his hand, not wanting to dwell on this heavy topic, and changed the subject, saying, "Who cares what they think? Anyway, once Yu Xian'er comes back, I'll finally be free from this mountain of paperwork and meetings! Then I can finally get some rest. Besides, I heard that Fourth Brother has been confined to his quarters by Mother? Haha, that guy's finally getting what he deserves! Without him nagging in my ear, I'm so bored. How about we have a few drinks tonight?"
"No problem," Su Bai readily agreed.
Su Bai also has his own territory in the Wind and Thunder Realm Forest—Red Dust Star. This is a bustling commercial planet, and also a foothold for him in the Myriad Realms.
Mingya and Su Yuwei were both taken to Hongchen Star for temporary stay.
Mingya did not intend to stay long. The witchcraft she cultivated emphasized comprehending the nature of heaven and earth, requiring her to seek opportunities for breakthroughs through constant travel and life-or-death trials. Therefore, she would only stay at the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce for a few days, exchange her previous spoils for some cultivation resources she urgently needed, and then embark on her journey again, leaving alone.
If everything goes smoothly and Su Yuwei is accepted as a disciple by Master Huangshi, she may have to stay in the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce for a long time; this will be her new starting point.
That night, at Xianlou, the most luxurious restaurant under the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce.
Zuixianju.
The lights were bright, and the atmosphere was peaceful and prosperous.
Su Bai and Fu Yunxiu sat facing each other, exchanging toasts. Accompanying them were the Northern Sea Daoist, the Spirit Pivot Immortal Lord, and the eccentric yet divinely skilled Blood Sea Sword Master.
These are all old comrades-in-arms who fought side by side on the battlefield of the gods. Now that they have reunited, they are naturally very affectionate.
