Chapter 1717: The 8th version of Legend of the White Snake?
Baoying Palace.
Ren Lan, who was originally driven out by the Wuji royal guards, was sitting in the luxurious palace with swagger and was treated as an honored guest.
The maids took turns serving her, and the table was filled with delicacies that made her eyes dazzled and her mouth water.
And all these changes came from Lin Jichen who was sitting next to her.
Relying on his personal relationship with Huangfu Ying, Lin Jichen not only entered the palace, but also brought along Ren Lan, who had been blacklisted by the Wuji royal family.
There was no way, since Huangfu Yingshi was the most beloved daughter of Emperor Wuji, and Lin Jichen had done favors for the Wuji royal family, so naturally she gave the green light.
Seeing so many delicious meals with various attributes, Ren Lan cast an inquiring look at Lin Ji Chen.
After getting the affirmation, she stopped being polite and started to enjoy it happily.
Their boxing sect doesn’t have these delicious foods, such as the royal banquet from the palace. Moreover, eating them can increase your attributes, so it would be a waste not to eat them.
Seeing Ren Lan eating with such voracious appetite, Lin Ji Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, he himself ate much more exaggeratedly than her when he first visited the Qianlong royal family, so he understood.
"Thank you, Senior Huangfu and the little princess, for your hospitality. I am honored."
Lin Ji Chen raised his glass and saluted Huangfu Ying who was sitting opposite him from a distance.
Next to Huangfu Ying sat a man wearing a dragon robe. He was the emperor of Huafengzhou, Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song laughed and raised his glass as well. "Young Master Lin is a distinguished guest of my royal family, so you don't have to be polite. Not only did you help me resolve the crisis of the fishmen, but you also helped me destroy the Ghost Palace. We are also fellow Taoists who share weal and woe. Why should you be so polite? I am so happy that you can come.
and."
Lin Ji Chen smiled and said a few polite words, then went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"Senior, I came here this time to ask for your sect's Burning Lotus Heart Sutra. I wonder if you can part with it?"
Huangfu Song hesitated slightly, looked at Ren Lan, and asked curiously, "Are you asking for it for her?"
"Exactly."
"Who is she to you?"
"She's my Taoist partner." Lin Ji Chen said frankly.
Ren Lan, who was still eating, blushed when she heard this. She quickly put down her chopsticks and smiled shyly.
The usually carefree girl suddenly became shy when she heard this.
Huangfu Song nodded to show that he understood, but Huangfu Ying pouted, looking unhappy. "If it were any other treasure, I would have given it directly to Young Master Lin, but the Burning Lotus Heart Sutra is a heavenly skill, which I accidentally found in a cave left by an ancient boxer. Later, I found out that this boxer was the boxer master Zhang Heng.
This is a relic of a powerful person in the Yuhua realm. It is so precious that it cannot be replaced by ordinary things. What you, your fellow Taoist, have taken is totally inadequate."
Huangfu Song was straightforward and frankly told Lin Jichen that what the other party shouted did not meet his standards and was too bad.
Lin Ji Chen didn't care at all after hearing this. He was a wholesaler of top-grade treasures and had a lot of good things on him.
"Then may I ask, Senior Huangfu, what treasure do you want in exchange for the Burning Lotus Fist Scripture?"
Huangfu Song laughed, drank a sip of wine slowly, and then said: "Let's not talk about this for now. Even if you can afford it, you have to agree to one condition of mine first."
"Senior, it doesn't matter."
Huangfu Song immediately told Lin Jichen about the relationship between their Wuji Royal Family and the Chiyan Fist Sect.
It turned out that more than a hundred years ago, there was a scandal in the Wuji royal family involving Huangfu Song’s younger brother, Huangfu Yi, who was also Huangfu Ying’s uncle.
During one of his travels, Huangfu Yi broke into the territory of all monsters, and fell in love with a thousand-year-old snake monster, and became pregnant.
Because of his human identity, Huangfu Yi could not stay in the Ten Thousand Demons Territory, so he had to leave the demon world with his snake demon wife, wanting to conceal his identity and hide in the Prince's Mansion in Wuji City to live a good life.
But unexpectedly, on the way back, he happened to meet the grand elder of the boxing sect, who was also Ren Lan's current master, Wei Haoran.
Wei Haoran has the same personality as Elder Tianjian. He hates evil and takes it as his responsibility to subdue demons. When he discovered that the woman next to Huangfu Yi was a snake demon, he immediately took action to eliminate the demon.
Huangfu Yi naturally refused and started fighting with Wei Haoran immediately. Unfortunately, Huangfu Yi was not a good match for Wei Haoran and was defeated by Wei Haoran. His wife was also unable to escape and was suppressed and subdued by him.
No matter how Huangfu Yi begged, Wei Haoran remained indifferent and avoided him.
Huangfu Yi had no choice but to return to Wuji City for help from Huangfu Song. After Huangfu Song learned about this, he did not support his brother's affair with the demon clan, and imprisoned him, not allowing him to look for the snake demon again, hoping that he would forget this relationship.
But no one expected that Huangfu Yi was such a lovesick man that in order to save the snake demon, he was willing to hurt himself and even be transformed into a demon.
Huangfu Song couldn't bear it when he saw this and wanted to help his brother, but it was useless even if he stepped forward, as Wei Haoran didn't give him any face at all.
Including the Red Flame Fist Sect, they also refused to hand over the snake demon on the grounds that humans and demons could not have secret communications. They even handed it over to the Putuo Temple and locked it up in the demon-suppressing tower in the temple.
Huangfu Song knew he was in the wrong and had no choice but to leave. However, when Huangfu Yi learned that his wife had been detained in Putuo Temple, he became so angry that he almost went insane.
Afterwards, Huangfu Yi made a move that shocked the world. He withdrew from the Wuji royal family, went to Putuo Temple, and was willing to become a monk, guarding outside the Demon-Suppressing Tower all day long.
After people knew about this, they all laughed at the Huangfu family for having an idiot who gave up his status as a prince and his position as the grand elder of the Wuji royal family, and was willing to become a monk in a temple, and even the lowest-ranking monk.
Since then, the Wuji royal family has been laughed at by countless people, and Huangfu Song has completely become enemies with the Chiyan Fist Sect.
After all, if it weren't for Wei Haoran, his brother would not have become a monk, causing him not to see his brother for more than a hundred years, which also brought shame to the Wuji royal family.
After listening to Huangfu Song's story, Lin Jichen and Ren Lan looked at each other at the same time, and they said almost in unison: "Isn't this...The Legend of the White Snake?"
Yes, this experience is very similar to the classic Chinese love story The Legend of the White Snake.
The story of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen is well-known throughout China.
But it is just a myth after all, it is fictional.
But I didn't expect that such a story would actually happen in this deserted continent.
The only difference is that in the Chinese story, the hero is an ordinary doctor, while in the Eight Wildernesses, the hero is a dignified prince.
But Lin Ji Chen felt that love in the Eight Desolations was even more rare. After all, Huangfu Yi, as a prince of the Wuji royal family, was equivalent to the grand elder of a first-rate sect.
But he willingly became a monk, gave up the throne, and chose to be a menial monk.
Such courage is not something that ordinary people can do.
Lin Ji Chen dared to say that if the Chinese people knew this story first, there would be no chance of Xu Xian.
He also instantly admired Huangfu Yi. What a good man, the ceiling of pure love warriors. ····
