Chapter 300: Jun Lingtian’s Attention
A young and handsome man stood next to Jun Zizhen, smiling lightly as he spoke, “Exactly. How can a woman be involved in fighting and bloodshed? You should just watch quietly.”
“When our elder brother ascends the throne, he will find you a suitable husband. At that time, you’ll just have to take care of your duties as a wife and raise your children, and leave the rest to us.”
This man was strikingly handsome, with a playful smile on his face, exuding the carefree air of a scoundrel.
His figure was tall and well proportioned, dressed in a luxurious purple robe, which only served to enhance his noble aura. He was certainly an eye-catching figure.
Jun Fengya understood that her two brothers had always looked down on women, and with her grip tightening around her fiery red longsword, she responded with a sneer, “Is that so? What if I insist on breaking through?”
Jun Zizhen shook his head slightly, his tone unyielding, “Then don’t blame us for being unbrotherly.”
Lin Fengmian, who had been silent until then, interjected, “Why waste so many words? The truth will be revealed by actions.”
Jun Fengya nodded and said, “Exactly. No need for more words. Elder Brother, please!”
She positioned herself beside Lin Fengmian, taking a stance that placed him at the center of attention.
With Jun Fengya on his left and Jun Yunshang on his right, Lin Fengmian became the focal point of the crowd.
Under the intense gaze of the onlookers, Lin Fengmian showed no signs of hesitation, remaining calm and composed.
The stronger the wind, the higher I fly.
Meanwhile, in Junlin City, inside the Holy Emperor’s Palace.
The Holy Emperor, Jun Lingtian, sat on his dragon throne, watching Tianyu City through a magical water mirror.
He looked at Lin Fengmian with great interest and smiled, “This is the Ye Xuefeng kid, right? The one little Yunchang is interested in?”
A pale-faced, beardless man standing nearby respectfully replied, “Your Majesty, that is indeed the person.”
“That young man is incredibly talented. In less than a month, he has gone from being a mere mortal to the Unity Realm. Even the Young Supreme is no match for him.”
This man was Zhao Ban, a childhood friend of Jun Lingtian. Gifted with the title of “Companion,” he had been by Jun Lingtian’s side for many years and was a prominent figure in the Junyan Empire.
Jun Lingtian smiled slightly, “The Young Supreme might be great, but if his story is true, even the so-called Young Supreme would have no choice but to run away from a freak like him.”
Zhao Ban didn’t dare to openly agree and just smiled awkwardly.
Jun Lingtian continued, “But to have won the affection of my two daughters, that’s no small feat.”
“Have we investigated his background? Could he be an undercover agent from another nation or some artificially created genius?”
As a once-in-a-lifetime talent himself, Jun Lingtian was deeply skeptical of meteoric rises to power. He believed that if someone was truly that extraordinary, people like him would have lived like dogs all their lives.
If such a person truly existed, it would throw the natural order into disarray.
Zhao Ban’s expression turned serious as he replied, “Your Majesty, I immediately dispatched Black Feather to investigate, but the results are somewhat strange.”
“His rise has been remarkably smooth, with Heavenly Tribulations to back up his ascension. His spiritual aura is consistent throughout, confirming that it’s the same person.”
Jun Lingtian’s smile faltered slightly as he frowned. “So, he’s the same person? It’s not some kind of trick where they switched out the real one along the way?”
“Though I suppose if my two daughters are that naive, they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between one person and another. That makes it somewhat interesting”.
However, Jun Lingtian still found it hard to believe in the existence of someone so extraordinary. He asked in a deeper voice, “But there’s no sign of any suspicious details about him?”
Zhao Ban nodded and replied, “There is. While we have confirmed his identity, the small border kingdom he hails from doesn’t practice bloodline verification, so his identity may not be entirely authentic.”
“Second, this person seems to have acquired a mysterious swordsmanship inheritance. When he reappeared, he was carrying quite a few treasures and techniques with him”.
“He doesn’t seem like a casual cultivator who stumbled upon an inheritance, because his cultivation path has been remarkably steady, and his foundation is so solid that it’s almost frightening.”
Although Zhao Ban didn’t say it directly, Jun Lingtian understood the implication and his mind stirred.
He muttered, “So you’re suggesting that it’s possible that he’s a reincarnated cultivator? Or maybe a soul transference?”
According to Zhao Ban, if Ye Xuefeng truly hailed from the Junyan Empire, then he was most likely the reincarnation of a cultivator.
Perhaps he had been triggered by the destruction of his city, awakening the memories of his past life, or receiving some subtle guidance from fate.
During the time of his disappearance, he must have found the cave abode left behind by his previous self and obtained the treasures and inheritance that were left behind.
To achieve such a thing, his previous life must have been at least a Void Realm cultivator.
A Great Ascension Realm Saint? Or perhaps a Supreme?
Lin Fengmian was not unaware that although his cultivation path was flawless, it was also his greatest flaw.
But there was no way for him to change his course.
He couldn’t allow some so-called flaw to ruin his cultivation and destroy his path.
Zhao Ban cautiously asked, “Your Majesty, what should be done with this person?”
“Let’s wait and observe for now,” Jun Lingtian said with a playful glint in his eyes.
To most people, Lin Fengmian’s cultivation would seem impressive, but to Jun Lingtian, he was no more than a slightly larger ant.
Without reaching the level of a Saint, he was nothing but an ant.
Zhao Ban nodded and said, “Understood.
Jun Lingtian chuckled and asked, “Ban Ban, who do you think has the better chance of winning this battle?”
“Your servant dares not guess,” Zhao Ban smiled apologetically.
“Speak your mind, you’ve been with me for so many years, yet you’re still so hesitant,” Jun Lingtian teased.
“Then your servant will speak boldly. I think Princess Fengya has a better chance of winning,” Zhao Ban said truthfully.
“Why?” Jun Lingtian asked curiously.
Since Zhao Ban had already spoken, he didn’t hesitate to explain his reasoning.
“From what Ye Xuefeng has shown on his journey, along with the help of Princess Fengya, his chances of winning are clearly much higher.”
“Although Prince Zizhen and Prince Yutang hold Ye Xuefeng in high esteem, they have greatly underestimated Princess Fengya. This time, they’re bound to suffer a huge loss.”
Jun Lingtian chuckled lightly, “Then let’s see if you’re right.”
The two of them stopped talking and instead focused their attention on the water mirror showing Lin Fengmian and Tianyu City.
On the walls of Tianyu City:
Jun Zizhen and the others looked at Lin Fengmian standing proudly in front of everyone and couldn’t help but furrow their brows.
The reputation of this person had even reached their ears – a monstrous talent that could break through realms as easily as drinking water.
If they didn’t know that he was still in the Unity Realm, having only broken through with a low-grade Spirit Fusion Pill, they might have already surrendered.
Although he wore a mask, his appearance was far from bad, and his abilities weren’t lacking either. No wonder their two younger sisters were serving him.
“You are Ye Xuefeng?” Jun Zizhen asked.
“If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don’t block my way,” Lin Fengmian replied arrogantly.
Jun Zizhen’s face darkened, but he suppressed his anger and said, “Young Master Ye is a rare talent, even I have heard of him. I wonder if you’d be interested in serving my brother and me?”
“We can provide you with high-quality Void Breaking Pills and all the help you need for your cultivation.”
“We can even promise that when one of us ascends to the throne, you will have access to all the beauties and riches in the world. You will want for nothing.”
Jun Yutang also nodded in agreement and added, “We could even promise you one of our two royal sisters as a wife in the future.”
