1144 Brother Linyuan


    Yu Huang said, “I don’t need it for the time being. Taking heart blood is too harmful to the body. It won’t be toote to get it after the intercontinental finals are over.”


    “That’s true.” Feng Yuncheng put away the dagger.


    Yin Rong and the others smiled and said, “Then we’ll help you nourish the heart blood for a while longer. We’ll take it out after the intercontinentalpetition is over.”


    “Okay!”


    Beatrice looked at her watch. “It’s almost one o’clock,” she said.


    Yu Huang raised her eyes and looked at the tightly shut door.


    It was already one o’clock, so Prime Emperor Linfeng should be here.


    Seeing that Prime Emperor Linfeng had yet toe, Yin Rong said thoughtfully, “The surname of the Vermillion Bird n’s member is Ji. A hundred years ago, a child awakened a Divine Feather Phoenix beast form, but that child was schemed against by enemies, so his whereabouts are still unknown…”


    Yin Rong frowned and said hesitantly, “Why does everything about it sound so simr to Mr. Linyuan’s encounter?”


    Mr. Linyuan was the only personal disciple Prime Master Yin Mingjue had epted in the Cang Lang Continent.


    He happened to have awakened the Divine Feather Phoenix Beast Form and his surname was Ji.


    Yin Rong’s intuition told her that the missing member of the Vermillion Bird n was most likely Ji Linyuan.


    Feng Yuncheng and the others also nodded. “That’s right. I also think that the person they’re talking about is very likely Mr. Linyuan. Yu Huang, what do you think?”


    “I think so too.” Yu Huang had other concerns and said, “We’re new here and aren’t members of the Vermillion Bird n. We don’t know what’s going on with the Vermillion Bird n or what their rtionship with that missing nsman is. We don’t even know if Prime Emperor Linfeng is a friend or a foe. Under such circumstances, we can’t rashly reveal Senior Brother Linyuan’s existence.”


    Yu Huang narrowed her eyes and said, “Let’s observe the situation first.”


    “You’re so thoughtful and cautious.”


    At this moment, Yu Huang’s psychic power, which was spread outside the hotel, suddenly sensed a super terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation approaching at an unbelievable speed. She immediately stood up and stared at the tightly shut door. Then, she said in a low voice, “He’s here.”


    Everyone stood up.


    Yin Rong said, “I’ll make tea.”


    “Okay.”


    There was a free teapot and tea leaves in the hotel. They were ced in the small kitchen. Yin Rong had just stood up and had yet to approach the kitchen when she heard a knock on the door—


    Knock, knock.


    There were two knocks on the door.


    Everyone turned to look at the door at the same time without saying anything.


    Sheng Xiao suddenly said to Yin Rong, “Go make tea. I’ll open the door.” Then, he patted Yu Huang’s shoulder. “Stand here. I’ll open the door.”


    “Okay.”


    After Sheng Xiao came to the entrance, he stood behind the door and looked through the peephole.


    But he didn’t see anything. He didn’t even see the corner of anyone’s shirt.


    He thought of something and opened the door. Then, he retreated and leaned against the wall. He stared at the empty void outside the door as he said in a neither servile nor overbearing tone, “Since the Prime Emperor is already here, please show yourself.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man appeared in the void in front of Sheng Xiao.


    The man was as tall as Sheng Xiao. He was wearing a long ck coat that reached his ankles and a red scarf around his neck. His skin was so fair that it seemed like he had never seen sunlight before and his dark blond short hair wasbed back. He gave off a sinister and eerie aura.


    He didn’t look like a Vermillion Bird, but more like a vampire instead.


    There was no one else behind the man. He hade alone.


    When Sheng Xiao was sizing him up, he was also sizing Sheng Xiao up.


    After a short exchange of nces, the man reached out his right hand to Sheng Xiao. He was wearing a ck leather glove on his right hand. “Hello, I’m Ji Linfeng.”


    When Sheng Xiao held his right hand, even through the leather glove, he realized that his body temperature was quite high. “Greetings, Prime Emperor Linfeng.”


    Prime Emperor Linfeng nodded and let go of Sheng Xiao’s hand. Then, he looked up at the young people in the living room.


    Seeing him look over, the young people standing side by side bowed to him at the same time. “Greetings, Prime Emperor Linfeng.”


    “Hello, everyone.” Prime Emperor Linfeng took off his gloves and ced them on the entrance cab. His hands were as fair and wless as silk. He was wearing a pair of thick leather boots, so when he walked towards Yu Huang and the others, the leather boots made a dull sound as they stepped on the wool carpet.


    Although Prime Emperor Linfeng’s facial features were good-looking, he looked quite feminine.


    When he was only a meter away from Yu Huang, Ji Linfeng stood still and nodded at Yu Huang. “Yu Huang, I’m very sorry for making you wait.”


    These were just pleasantries.


    Yu Huang nced at the watch on her wrist and said, “Not long. I’ve only waited for five minutes.”


    Prime Emperor Linfeng was rendered speechless by Yu Huang’s answer.


    After a moment of silence, Prime Emperor Linfeng actually took the initiative to apologize. He ced his right hand on his left chest and bent down slightly as he said apologetically, “Even so, I waste by five minutes. I was rude.” His words and mannerisms seemed very polite. He seemed like a polite gentleman and didn’t have the arrogance of a person in charge of a prominent family.


    While watching Prime Emperor Linfeng bowing down to apologize, Yu Huang immediately thought of Ji Linyuan.


    Ever since Ji Linyuan left the Myriad Book Pavilion, he had always been well-dressed and his every move was just as well-mannered.


    Perhaps they were really from the same n and had been taught by the same etiquette teacher.


    When Yu Huang looked up at Prime Emperor Linfeng and noticed that he was wearing a red scarf around his neck, she felt that it was a little strange. The temperature in Ice zing City was quite warm and was always around 20 degrees during the day, so there was really no need to wear a scarf.


    Perhaps he just liked to wear scarves.


    “Prime Emperor Linfeng, you’re being too formal.” Yu Huang turned around and pointed at the only armchair in the living room as she said, “Prime Emperor, please sit.”


    Prime Emperor Linfeng nodded and sat down on the sofa.


    After he sat down, Yu Huang sat down on another double sofa.


    At that moment, Sheng Xiao walked over and sat down beside Yu Huang.


    Donor and the others retreated to their rooms. Yin Rong walked over with tea and served tea to Prime Emperor Linfeng, Yu Huang, and the others before returning to Donor’s room with the tray.

    In the living room, as Yu Huang watched Prime Emperor Linfeng taking a sip from a teacup, she said bluntly, “I heard from Prime Master Chengwen that a child of the Vermillion Bird n awakened the Divine Feather Phoenix a hundred years ago, but he was unfortunately plotted against, so his whereabouts and whether or not he is alive are unknown.”


    Looking at Prime Emperor Linfeng, Yu Huang asked, “You came because of this, right?”


    Prime Emperor Linfeng looked like he had drunk a sip of tea, but when he put down the teacup, Yu Huang noticed that his lips were not wet at all.


    He was a cautious person.


    Prime Emperor Linfeng crossed his arms and ced them on his thighs. After he nodded, a very subtle look of sorrow appeared in his eyes as he said, “That’s right. I came today to borrow Yu Huang’s ability to check on my brother’s situation.”


    “Brother?” Yu Huang was somewhat shocked. “That missing Vermillion Bird n member is your brother?”


    “That’s right. He’s my biological brother and his name is Linyuan. He’s been missing for more than thirty years.”
