Fei Jun, the most watched prodigy in the capital, is of royal blood, from a prestigious family of sorcerers, the first Four Saints Sorcerer in a thousand years, and the only son of Princess Xiao Mingyue. Any one of these qualities alone makes him someone that countless people look up to. Yet, this young man, who is surrounded by so much glory, has disappeared without a trace during the recent upheaval in the world.
After the death of the eldest princess, Fei Jun returned to the capital and secluded himself at home, publicly announcing that he had observed three years of mourning. The emperor did not pursue Xiao Mingyue's crimes. Thus, with the passing of the eldest princess, this once young and outstanding man seemed to gradually fade from the public eye.
Yesterday, Chen Ying overheard Chen Qing and Shen Qi's analysis that Fei Jun must be in Cloud Capital!
This trial is clearly related to the Four Saints. The White Tiger Sorcerer and the Black Tortoise Sorcerer, who had not appeared before, have now shown up. It is obviously unrealistic to say that the Vermilion Bird Sorcerer is not here.
Considering all the current circumstances, Chen Ying made a bold guess!
"What did you just say?" Zhang Xiaoyun stopped and stared coldly at the other person.
"I said, Lord Fei Jun, how have you been?" Chen Ying stared intently at the other party and said.
"Are you starting to talk nonsense just to stall for time?" Zhang Xiaoyun said with a smile, "Where did this Fei Jun come from?"
"Aren't you Zhang Xiaoyun?" Chen Ying said coldly, " Zhang Xiaoyun, the eldest grandson of the Celestial Master Mansion. But the Old Celestial Master Zhang has never even heard of where his son is, and suddenly a grandson appears out of nowhere."
"I specifically inquired about you. Many people remember you, but the impressions are vague. They only say that you are often seen on the streets, easygoing, and even the old lady selling steamed buns on the street can chat with you. You are a very down-to-earth person and are well-liked by those around you."
"At the time, I wondered, what was the psychology behind someone who acted so violently, that he could patiently spend several years trying to befriend ordinary people around him?"
"So what's your conclusion?" Zhang Xiaoyun's smile faded, and she looked at the other person with interest.
"If it's not by nature, then it must be for a purpose." Chen Ying sneered, "You need to show your face from time to time, to give those around you this impression, to let people know you exist, to let them know you, this little grandson of the emperor, exist. After all, someone like Zhang Zhiyun doesn't need to be remembered like you, but you're different. If you don't show your face often, then no one will remember you."
"What is the significance of remembering me?" the other person continued to ask.
"Conceal your true identity." Chen Ying looked at him and said, "Creating an attractive identity is actually a way to hide your other identity. I obtained some memories from the Azure Dragon Inheritance, which say that Vermilion Bird Sorcerer, like phoenixes, have the talent of being reborn from the ashes. Every once in a while, due to the characteristics of their spells, they will be reborn as infants again."
"I've also heard the rumors that you, Lord Fei Jun, take leave every year around the summer solstice to go to the mountain resort to escape the heat. And because of your unique status, even though you hold the position of Vice Minister, the court still tolerates that you are away from the capital for three to five months every month."
"Many people believe you went to the secret place arranged by Her Highness the Eldest Princess, and many unscrupulous forces have probably searched for you in secret, but none have found you. If I'm not mistaken, you were probably in Cloud Capital during the time you were a child, right?"
" Little Celestial Master Zhang of Cloud Capital and the Vermilion Bird Sorcerer of the capital, no one would have guessed they were the same person, am I right?"
"That's a really good story." Zhang Xiaoyun sneered, "Why would I go through all that trouble?"
"It's just so that we won't be discovered too early when the Four Saints Trial begins," Chen Ying said calmly. "Perhaps this would be a lot of trouble for others, after all, persisting like this for over thirty years for such a purpose seems a bit exaggerated, but for monsters like you who have lived in the gutter for countless years, any amount of time spent on even one arrangement is probably worthwhile."
Zhang Xiaoyun: "."
"To be honest, I didn't really see that Fei Jun would be so scheming. I've known Fei Jun for many years, and I've always thought of him as a very straightforward and gentle man. Among all the people I've met, he is the most sincere, though arrogant." Chen Ying looked at the other person quietly. "I believe I'm not mistaken. Chen Qing has always considered Lord Fei Jun a friend, and I suppose that's why we never thought that Lord Fei Jun would be one of the participants. If I'm not mistaken, Lord Fei Jun, your memories have changed every time you leave Cloud Capital, haven't they?"
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Xiaoyun burst into laughter. In the next instant, flames shot into the sky, and the surrounding space deformed due to the exaggerated heat!
A cold glint flashed in Chen Ying's eyes; she hadn't misjudged him.
This ability to compress space is not a so-called special technique. She said that she couldn't find such an effect when she thought of any of the techniques of the Heavenly Stems Gang and Earthly Fiends. Now she finally understands.
The reason the other party was able to do it was because the Golden Crow Flame and the Vermilion Bird Southern Brightness Li Fire Fusion to form the most terrifying high temperature. This terrifying high temperature could affect the elements in the space to avoid it, thus allowing him to squeeze in directly from the outer layer of the space, because his small space fragments simply could not contain his terrifying temperature!
"Back then, Mother said that you were a girl without any powerful background, but you had the qualities of a phoenix. If you were married into the family, you would definitely be a first-class virtuous wife. But at the time, in order to lull Lu Ming into a false sense of security, we kept it hidden. I never expected that Chen Qing would snatch you away before you were born. What a pity."
"If you do not inherit the Azure Dragon Spell, or rather, if you do not choose to be my enemy but choose any other temple, you may be recognized by the Azure Dragon Spell and thus become one of us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party seemed to no longer want to pretend. Under the raging flames, his body grew rapidly. In just a few breaths, the chubby little child quickly grew into an incomparably handsome young man.
He was the pride of heaven in the capital, the one who made countless young girls from official families fall in love with him.
Heaven and Earth Hall, Chen Qing saw the familiar face in the flames, and his expression was incredibly complicated!
He vaguely remembered the princess's words: he didn't particularly like Xiao Mingyue, but she was truly devoted to his son. If Xiao Mingyue knew that her child had long been infested with parasites, what would she think?
Was that somewhat arrogant yet loyal young man who accompanied me on my Yin-Yang Road in the capital truly the real person?
Is everything that manifests merely a manipulation of memory?
The sorcerers, led by the Chen Household, were all surprised and angry, never expecting that the princess had left them such a huge trap.
Bang!
A loud bang shook the entire screen. Actually, it wasn't the screen that shook, but rather the ground in the nearby Azure Dragon Hall that trembled due to someone's overwhelming power.
Once their identity was revealed, the other party seemed to have stopped hiding it.
The Golden Crow Flame, mixed with the Southern Brightness Li Fire, turned the entire large Cangmu tree to ashes almost instantly with a single stomp!
If Chen Ying hadn't been protected by the folded space, her fate probably wouldn't have been much better.
Chen Qing stared at the screen, his face grim.
The Azure Dragon Spell is the foremost of the Four Saints, but it is not the strongest among Four Saints. On the contrary, the powers of the Four Saints are mutually reinforcing and restraining. The Azure Dragon Spell, which excels at protracted battles, is most vulnerable to beings with excessively strong explosive power like the one before it.
Based on the current situation, Chen Ying's chances of winning are almost zero!
