Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Elope or Not

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Finishing the blood wine in one mouthful, Hu Qianqiu smashed the bowl in his hand onto the ground, saying viciously, “If I go against my oath, let my Iron Tiger race be like this bowl!”

Hu Qianqiu used a lot of force, but that bowl was extremely high quality. There was a puncturing sound as it shot into the ground and disappeared, leaving behind a deep hole one couldn’t see the bottom of.

As for whether or not the bowl broke, Zong Shou wasn’t certain and too embarrassed to dig it out to take a look.

After forming the blood alliance, Hu Qianqiu’s eyes showed killing intent as he looked at Zong Ling and Zong Yuan, who were tightly bound. “How is the Prince going to deal with the two of them? Although Zong Ling and Zong Yuan are your cousins, I think you should be more vicious. Leaving these two bastards around would only create problems; why not kill them as sacrifice to your rule?”

Zong Ling was stunned, the expression on his face filled with despair long ago. That Zong Yuan continued to scoff. His expression was normal; even if he knew that he was going to die in the next moment, he wouldn’t hesitate.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh. “Uncle Hu, our Sky Fox race has a special ability. Once we learn martial and spiritual cultivation to a certain Realm, we form a mental connection with close ones. Zong Ling’s father has died, but his mother is a Back to Sun Realm expert. It’s better if you find a place to lock him up, it’s still not time to kill him...”

Hu Qianqiu frowned. After thinking about it he still felt a little bitter and unwilling. He looked over once more with new excitement.

Zong Shou knew what he meant, but decisively shook his head. His cultivation was not bad and he could barely sense the life and death of his loved ones. He also knew that Zong Weiran was alive and within the Oblivion Cloud Ocean.

However he couldn’t randomly say such words. Zong Weiran might treat him as a demon and kill him after he returned. Just as he thought about that, his heart couldn’t help but jump intensely.

Hu Qianqiu was slightly disappointed, “Then what about this Zong Yuan? His entire Family pretty much all died.”

Zong Shou regained his senses and smiled once more, his smile really innocent, “I’m sorry, Uncle Hu. I want to keep this person. My Zong Family does not have many talents. Just this one good seed is left and to kill it is such a waste, my father would definitely blame me. So I’m prepared to keep this fellow and develop him...”

“We can’t kill that one and don’t want to kill this one, Prince is really uninteresting,” Hu Qianqiu scoffed in utmost depression. However, he suppressed his temper and reminded Zong Shou, “Zong Yuan’s personality is not bad. Out of so many people in your Sky Fox Zong Family, only he looks decent to me, looking similar to when the Ruler was young. However, this person wouldn’t easily betray his master, so the Prince must be careful!”

Seeing Zong Shou nod to express that he understood, only then did Hu Qianqiu stand up, “Recently the situation in the Mountain City is a little off, so I can’t stay here for long. I will return immediately and help the Prince take care of Gantian Mountain. However, I am worried with you alone outside, let my son Zongyuan accompany you. I’ll leave together with you two servants. Prince, if you have words to instruct them, please be quick. And also my granddaughter...”

He took a deep look at Chuxue, who was hiding in a corner, and sighed slightly. “Prince, please take care of her!”

Hu Qianqiu left the carriage after he finished and mounted a strong and huge Windrider Foal, waiting in the distance. Zhongyuan snickered, walked to a side, grabbed onto Zong Ling whose face had finally recovered some color and promptly gave him a heavy beating!

Just now he was heavily assaulted by his father. Since he couldn’t be angry with his dad and Zong Shou, naturally he had to let it out on someone. He made a fool of himself because of this Zong Ling, so naturally he couldn’t let him off. As for his father arranging him to follow at the Prince’s side, he didn’t mind at all.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but compliment his actions. The Iron Tiger race leader seemed really brutish, but he was really intelligent and attentive and knew what he had to do. However, he didn’t expect that this Hu Qianqiu was actually Chuxue’s maternal grandfather. No wonder Chuxue was a little off just now.

He waved over Lian Fan and Yin Yang; the two of them understood and walked over. Zong Shou first looked towards Lian Fan and passed him a green silk filled with words, “Lian Fan, your talents are average, so you can’t learn any deep martial arts. I don’t have much to teach you. However, you are a really calm and composed personality, resilient and persistent. I have a Mountain Piling Art that is suitable for people like you. If you are hardworking and practice diligently, in the future you can chase after to those talents and become an Ascended expert!”

Lian Fan’s personality meant that he could keep calm in front of both praise and humiliation. When he heard the words at the start, he didn’t feel disappointed. The words which came after he also didn’t show much delight at. His eyes only revealed some gratitude, solemnly stowing away the silk.

Zong Shou smiled as he looked towards Yin Yang. “Uncle Yin is really talented, coming from a famous sect and naturally has martial art legacy techniques. That Heaven Burning Absolute Flame Knife is no weaker than Lingyun Sect’s Cloud Shocking God Destroying Sword. I can’t give you much, I can only help you quickly comprehend martial strength!”

When he said that, Zong Shou reached out with his hand casually, and a branch landed in his grasp. A ball of flame rose in his palm. It didn’t extinguish and it didn’t seem really hot, just continuing to burn. A short moment later the branch became charcoal. Zong Shou passed it over to Yin Yang, “Uncle Yin take this; in the future maybe it will help your comprehension. Thank you for both of your help with Gantian Mountain!”

Yin Yang’s brows rose up, holding the item in his hand like one would treasures. Looking at it now, it was no different from wooden charcoal.

He could feel that if his martial path was obstructed, this piece of charcoal was the key to helping him break through. Silently stashing it, Yin Zhang bowed to Zong Shou. He didn’t say anything, but his actions replaced words.

Zong Shou instructed them with some things until Hu Qianqiu grew impatient and shouted over, then he let the two of them leave.

When Yin Yang and Lian Fan got on their horses, Hu Qianqiu cupped his fists and laughed, “Five months from now I will welcome the Prince back to the mountain to inherit the throne! The Prince’s sword path is One with the Spirit and suppresses the Cloud World. I hope that I am able to see the Prince sweep Donglin and take over the Continent while I am alive!”

His voice was loud and reverberated through the wilderness. As he left, a bunch of men with dozens of Windrider Foals all took their leave. They left a trail of dust as they disappeared without a trace swiftly.

Sweep Donglin and take over the Continent? He was not the only person to say those words to him...

Zong Shou laughed, casually raising the wine cup in his hand to the side. When Xuanyuan Yiren saw that, she glared at him, but still refilled it.

Only when Zong Shou finished it did Xuanyuan Yiren grit her teeth and say, “Has the Prince been looking at me like a joke these last few days? With your ability, ten of me wouldn’t be your match. To actually say that I could protect you, wasn’t that a joke?”

“How do?” Saying that, Zong Shou said it like he was in the right, “I didn’t hide it from you, you didn’t believe me. Didn’t you say something on the lines of ‘you still have the mood to joke about things like this now?’”

Xuanyuan Yiren couldn’t help but grind her teeth and scoff. She took a clean cloth and helped Zong Shou bandage the wounds on his hand. Her actions were delicate and attentive, startling him. Her voice was also really gentle. “I’m in the wrong, okay, I shouldn’t have not believed you! But am I worth so little in your heart? Am I not worth you explaining a few more sentences?”

Her voice was like that of a bell, soft and really nice to listen to, making him feel wobbly and numb. When Zong Shou heard it even his bones became soft, his hair standing on end. With his personality, he loved it when people took the soft approach towards him.

Speaking about this matter, he wasn’t in the right. At that point in time his mood was really complicated. He had indeed wanted to ditch this girl. Awkwardly, Zong Shou coughed softly, “I forgot!”

He originally wanted to use flowery language to say how he was afraid that if she knew she would leave him, and he couldn’t bear to see that happen. But thinking about it, it was inappropriate. Rather than using a thousand lies to explain, a simple word was better; anyways he didn’t know how much about talking to girls. Although he loved to do so, to interact with them and talk about their life goals, most of the time he would make them angry.

Xuanyuan Yiren’s eyes couldn’t help but flush red. However she was a really straightforward woman and didn’t show a wronged expression. She brushed her hair and said expressionlessly, “If the Prince doesn’t like me, we can annul the marriage. I won’t bug you anymore. Your sword art is One with the Spirit and your future is bright, you will definitely be able to find someone in your league and someone you like...”

The more Zong Shou heard, the more he felt it wasn’t right, only feeling his mouth sour. He knew that if he annulled the marriage now, he would be seen as someone who abandoned his wife.

He couldn’t help but facepalm, his head hurting badly as he waved his hand, “What are you thinking? When did I say I wanted to annul the marriage?”

Just as he wanted to move the topic away, he heard her lightly acknowledge his words, her eyes brimming with life as she looked over. “Since you aren’t going to annul it, then when will you come over to meet my father?”

Zong Shou was startled, how did the topic lead back to this again? Thinking about it, the situation wasn’t right. He snuck a glance and saw that she had a crafty look in her eyes. Zong Shou couldn’t help but smile, but he still hesitated, “That’s not good, right? I heard your mother doesn’t want to meet me, and your father has many regrets about it. There’s also Pill Fountain Sect and Mysterious Cloud Sect, which are problematic. Yiren, why don’t we elope, let’s leave the continent together and be free.”

Xuanyuan Yiren’s brow immediately furrowed. “How can we do that? If we leave Donglin Cloud Continent now, we can avoid a lot of trouble, but what will happen to my parents? As their child, how can I do that to them? As they say, one mustn’t be too far from where your parents are!”

Zong Shou looked over with a smile, his eyes filled with doubt. Xuanyuan Yiren’s face instantly turned red as she explained, “At that time, I didn’t think about leaving for long, I only wanted to leave with you for a period of time. In the future, we just needed to lie and say that everything has been done and they would have no choice but to agree...”
