Chapter 236: Intention
Bai Feier never expected that her best friend, who had been away from home for three years, would have the opportunity to return to the Sunflame Dynasty.
But Liu Yu still came back.
Since that's the case, she certainly didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to meet again, and Bai Feier was also very interested in Liu Yu's experiences over the years.
"Xiaoyu, you... have already reached the first level of the Nascent Soul stage?"
After the two embraced, Bai Feier looked Liu Yu over and was increasingly amazed.
She remembered that when she left, Liu Yu was still at the Foundation Establishment stage and had just begun to understand music, while Bai Feier was far ahead of her at that time. But now, three years later, she has surpassed her.
Although Bai Feier was at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage, breaking through to the Out-of-Body stage was not an easy task.
This requires accumulation.
Even without considering the cultivation resources Liu Yu received, this talent alone is terrifying enough.
But there's nothing we can do about it, since Liu Yu's talent has been highly regarded by "Thousand Sound Valley".
Thousand Sound Valley is one of the extraordinary forces in the Eastern Frontier. Its sect is characterized by using music to enter the Dao and break through realms. The Valley Master himself is a Saint of the third level. Once he plays a piece, the entire land and rivers will change color!
Liu Yu was cultivated as a promising talent in Qianyin Valley, and the cultivation resources she received were far superior to those of Bai Feier.
It should be said that if Bai Feier hadn't met Gu Heng, she probably would have already committed suicide.
"I was lucky. I hadn't failed to break through the acupoints two weeks ago, so I finally succeeded," Liu Yu admitted frankly.
“You’re not slow either. You cultivate in the Sun Flame Dynasty, while I cultivate in the Thousand Sound Valley. But you’re already at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage, aren’t you? Maybe I’ll be overtaken by you soon.”
Liu Yu blinked, her beautiful eyes almost shooting out lightning with a crackling sound.
"Don't tease me, you little brat..."
Bai Feier rolled her eyes and poked Liu Yu's forehead with her index finger.
Their relationship was already as close as sisters. Compared to the two-faced "cousins" of the Bai family, Bai Feier naturally preferred Liu Yu.
"Oh dear, it's been a long time since I've heard you play a piece."
Bai Feier walked to the table, gently stroked the white jade guqin that had been with Liu Yu for many years, and smiled.
"It's just playing music... I didn't want to do this originally, but the Liu family needs me to show up, saying they want to put some pressure on our Emperor."
Liu Yu pursed her lips; she didn't seem particularly enthusiastic about performing on stage.
"This is how the same thing?"
Bai Feier frowned.
Hmm? How did this involve the Sunfire Emperor?
She was completely out of touch with politics and was basically obsessed with cultivation, especially after her relationship with the Bai family soured, she stopped thinking about anything else.
"Haven't you heard? Our Emperor's most trusted Prince Yanxuan has died far from home."
Liu Yu said calmly.
"This... I've never heard of it."
Bai Feier was indeed unaware of outside affairs. Ever since she got a room by herself at the Gu Family Medical Clinic and became a long-term resident, she hadn't paid much attention to what was happening outside. However, the death of King Yanxuan was a major troublesome event for the Riyan Dynasty or the Riyan royal family.
The Sunfire Royal Family has lost a pillar who has reached the sixth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm!
One can imagine how shocked or angry the Sun Flame Emperor must have been... But now that King Yan Xuan is dead, the Sun Flame royal family has lost a significant force.
Originally, Emperor Riyan could suppress the Bai family, the Liu family, and even the top forces within the dynasty that possessed cultivators who had undergone tribulation.
After all, with two members of the clan undergoing tribulation, and the Sun Flame Emperor himself being strong enough, even if his subordinates had any rebellious intentions, they would have to consider the combined power of the Sun Flame Emperor and the Flame Prophet King, not to mention that the royal family also possessed a Saint-grade sacrificial cauldron.
but.
King Yanxuan died.
The Emperor of the Sun is now essentially isolated and powerless.
Although he's only at the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, if something were to happen to him, the royal family would have no powerful figure capable of stabilizing the situation. So, how many people are now hoping for something to happen to him?
"...Sigh, how did that guy die?"
Bai Feier pinched her eye sockets.
Liu Yu shook her head. "Who knows? My father said it seems they offended the Tianfu Sect."
She knew about the Heavenly Talisman Sect, but why King Yanxuan had offended the Heavenly Talisman Sect was a secret, and the Heavenly Talisman Sect would never reveal such a thing to the world.
"So what should we do? Should we take sides?"
Bai Feier frowned and asked.
Emperor Riyan is probably starting to get nervous, constantly worried that his people will rebel in large numbers because of the death of King Yanxuan, and even disregard his orders. In that case, Emperor Riyan will definitely want to find an opportunity to establish his authority.
For example, forcing certain forces to take sides.
She was unwilling to get involved in these matters. However, her unwillingness did not mean that the Bai family could remain aloof.
“I think the reason my father called me back was to tell Emperor Riyan that the Liu family has a protégé who is highly regarded among the ‘extraordinary forces’.”
Liu Yu smiled.
Bai Feier suddenly realized.
She was summoned back by the Liu family to lend a hand, which made Emperor Riyan wary of the Liu family and unable to easily suppress them.
"No wonder I asked you to play music at Yanjiang Pavilion."
"Hmm~ Judging by the time, it's time for me to go on stage too."
Liu Yu nodded and picked up the zither.
"Alright, I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll go find a good spot to sit down!"
Bai Feier, sword in hand, left the room and arrived at the main hall of Yanjiang Pavilion, where a high platform had been set up. The hall was already full of people, with the "representatives" from various forces of the Sun Flame Dynasty naturally sitting in the front row.
Tonight's performance can be considered a brilliant move by the Liu family.
He brazenly told Emperor Riyan that the Liu family had a prodigy disciple from "Thousand Sound Valley," and that if His Majesty had any ill intentions towards the Liu family, he should think twice.
"Hmm, look at my sister, so talented and capable, she is truly a blessing to the Liu family."
In the front row, Liu Mo, the eldest son of the Liu family, was waving a folding fan, his face full of pride.
In contrast, beside him stood the Second Prince, Yan Zheng, dressed in a fiery red python robe.
Before the main character had even appeared, Liu Mo started praising Liu Yu excessively, which made Yan Zheng's expression quite unpleasant.
