Novel Full 245 A Cardinal's Arrival
Finally, he completed the task and burned the Flower of Catastrophe until it left—silently screaming in anguish. Seeing this, Yang Lujia finally heaved a sigh of relief. He admitted that he acted like a kid earlier, but that was only to lower the guard of the flower.
All along, he knew that the flower had already formed its own consciousness and was extremely astute in terms of its senses. However, never did he think that scolding this sort of flower could actually make it apprehensive and even chose to back away from him earlier. Nevertheless, he still completed the task.
Wouldn’t this be considered as him completing the test, right?
“Impressive! Very impressive!” the purple-colored flame endlessly praised. Despite its prideful tone before the test ended, the flame felt like thunder came to fuse with him as well. Yang Lujia really did it! And it only took him slightly more than three years to completely eradicate the poison from his body.
The purple-colored flame himself did not think that eliminating the source would work as well. That was because, according to the memories of Yang Lujia’s predecessor, basically the latter’s father, had not thought of this idea. Now, his son actually did it!
‘This kid… he’s too monstrous, right? But I can clearly feel that he’s still somewhat dumb in this world…’
On the other hand, inside the Lan Clan’s Residence, Lan Mingyue’s mother and the clan’s grand elder had continued to throw spears at each other, not dodging each other’s assaults. However, the former could not hold it in anymore and decisively exploded with her aura, completely menacing than the normal mother who she was.
“Lan Bao, you’re truly shameless! Becoming the Grand Elder of the clan is the biggest mistake that both of you and my husband’s father had bestowed upon me. If not for you being talented and one of his sons who he was extremely proud of, he would have already thrown you out of the family—especially that cocky and trashy attitude of yours. I really don’t know how you cultivated to such a realm with that attitude of yours. I’m very surprised that you’re still alive right now!” Lan Mingyue’s mother scolded, without any bars held back.
pan-d a-n0vel.com Hearing this, Lan Bao’s face turned black all over. He was really infuriated as to how this woman treated him all this while. If it was before, she would have this kind of disposition, because she had always been reserved, especially with her husband’s presence. But now, she actually blew up—very much that Lan Bao himself almost forgot to refute and defend himself.
“Lan Yao! Do not go overboard! It’s really a fortune for Lan Mingyue to be fancied by Saint Prince Huang and become one of his concubines! Don’t hold your horses too much! Make a decision right now! At this moment, I have already told Saint Prince Huang that I would definitely offer Lan Mingyue to him as a gift and as a form of collaboration—”
“My daughter is not a goddamn thing for you all to treat her as a tool to boost the family’s overall situation. Even if I have to die the worst kind of death, I won’t let you touch a single hair of her!” Lan Mingyue’s mother looked very scared at this moment.
Her hair floated in the air as she exuded the might of someone who was not supposed to possess such kind of might. As she floated in the air, she threw a token at Lan Mingyue and transmitted her thoughts to her daughter.
“Do not hesitate anymore and run! Mother can’t protect you for long! As for your father, even if I have to die, I won’t abandon him. As for you…” Her voice suddenly got soft in Lan Mingyue’s mind. “You’ve suffered so much, Yueyue. I never would have thought that we would bring you great trauma like last time—and now this time, again. However, mother has one more wish before you leave…”
Lan Mingyue could not find any words to speak anymore. Her legs were trembling. Her hands, holding the token, were shaking to an extreme degree. She was looking at her mother with an incredulous look. “Mother…”
Soon enough, a tear flowed out from her pair of eyes. She was heart-stricken. It was as though her heart became a punch of every emotion that surged out from her body. It was as if she could not remember anything about herself anymore and just blankly stared at the black toke in her hand, which contains dense rules of space.
This was certainly a precious treasure! Probably one of the greatest treasures of the clan. After all, although the rules of space were especially abundant in Da Shikong, it was still rare for such a teleportation token to be deployed. She didn’t know how her mother did it, but she actually did so.
Meanwhile, seeing the dark token in Lan Mingyue’s hands, Lan Bao trembled from head to foot. He could not believe it. Why would his brother give this precious thing to her when she did not even contribute to the family in the past years—even a bit?! This was one of the three treasures that had been safekeeping for several years already and this treasure was actually given to some kind of lass?!
What right did she have to be bestowed upon by such treasure?!
In the Lan Clan, there was a special space in which only those ordained as the clan’s family head could enter. Without the ceremony of ordaining a person of the family as the family head, he would not be able to enter this special space.
It was said that the ancestor in the past was a very strong individual, sweeping almost all of the powerhouses in Da Shikong. However, so much had already passed and since then, the turbulence had already died down. Only now did they feel the urgency to increase their strengths because of how much the Human Emperor Palace had suffered just recently.
Moreover, this special space, where only the ordained family heads could enter, had one absolute rule. Unless it was the most needed, neither one of the treasures should be taken away by anyone, including the present family head himself!
“Lan Yao! You and my big brother actually snatched out a treasure from our clan’s special space? What do you mean by this? Are you and my big brother trying to defect from the clan?”
On the other hand, Lan Yao just sneered in disdain and looked at Lan Bao like he was an idiot. “Are you really an idiot or just pretending to be an idiot? Of course, our clan right now is experiencing something that needs dire help or assistance. However, since the other clans did not heed our call for help, what do you think would be our last attempt as a necessary measure?!”
Lan Bao’s pupils constricted and thought that he had not really thought about it much. However, even though what Lan Yao told him was reasonable, it was still not enough and definitely not fair or justifiable, in any way, to bestow this kind of treasure to a little lass who had not even grown very much yet! This was simply too wrong!
“You!” Lan Bao reacted and pointed at Lan Yao. “Are you trying to do something to our clan? Or have you already done something to the special space of our clan?! Only the family head could enter the special space, so when did the family head retrieve this token?!”
“That’s not your business anymore, Lan Bao!” Lan Yao shot him a fierce glance and looked at Lan Mingyue’s dazed face. “Yueyue, crush that token right now! It will transport you to a faraway place! If you remain so stubborn right now, I will definitely kill myself! Go now! Don’t think that your mother will have no strength to contend with the grand elder! This mother of yours has not neglected her training in the past few years you went outside the Sacred City! Go!”
However, while Lan Yao was saying these words, the tears which flowed out from her eyes did not lie about her surging feelings at the moment. Her tears glistened blindingly and the feeling of indignance and worry was not suppressed within those tears at all.
It was like every drop was worth a myriad of emotions.
Seeing that Lan Mingyue did not react for a long time, Lan Yao decisively went to her daughter’s position and forcefully crushed the token in Lan Mingyue’s hand using her qi. “The token can only transport one person from one coordinate to another,” Lan Yao said as she smiled bitterly. “If I will have a second chance in this life, however, I will definitely take care of my daughter more…”
With that, tears crawled down her cheeks once more.
While Lan Bao was amused and was happily gloating inside for their misfortune, his heart truly ached for the dark token to be used like that by some little lass whose strength was immensely lower than his!
“Lan Yao! You made a sin today! Let’s see how you run—”
“Who said I would run?! Even if you have greater strength than me, that wouldn’t mean I am no match for you. Old brother-in-law, don’t blame this junior sister-in-law of yours for being impolite—”
“Where’s Saint Prince Huang?” A voice suddenly disrupted the two’s fight and the whole Sacred City suddenly felt like something weighed on their shoulders that even peak Saint Kings almost knelt in submission. “If he doesn’t come out in a second and tell me his reasons for all the injustices he made reported to me, I will not hesitate to kill him. A guy like him would be someone that the Holy Emperor should want to kill as well! Do not worry!”
