1736 Rong Xiu’s Background
“How did we get here?” Elder Yi Yu’s expression froze, and he felt a little worried.
The relationship between the two ancient legendary fiend races had always been very subtle. They were on opposite sides but were never really fighting.
They were polite, but nobody was willing to surrender.
They had fought for many years, both openly and secretly, but both sides had an unwritten rule: They would never cause trouble in each other’s territory!
This was the bottom line for both sides. Once someone broke it, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
If those old great phoenix dragons knew that they were here, there would be trouble! This was also one of the reasons why Elder Yi Yu was uneasy.
He looked up at Tuan Zi in front of him.
She seemed oblivious and still looked excited.
“If we go any further, we’ll probably reach Godly Dragon Island!” Elder Yi Yu was worried.
He had never been to Godly Dragon Island, but they were already at the Thirteen Hills. It was obvious that the nest of the great phoenix dragon was definitely ahead!
Yi Zhao’s eyebrows twitched. “The Thirteen Hills are only considered the periphery of Godly Dragon Island. It’s not a breach of contract for us to come here, but we really can’t go any further.”
Especially since I have come with Yi Yu! If the great phoenix dragons and the others know about this, they might fabricate rumors about us.
“Tuan Zi.” Yi Zhao suddenly raised his voice and called out to Tuan Zi.
Tuan Zi stopped and turned around, only to see Yi Zhao and Elder Yi Yu standing rooted to the ground.
“Clan Leader Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Tuan Zi asked curiously.
When Shangguan Jing and the others heard this commotion, they stopped and turned around.
Yi Zhao stared at Tuan Zi for a while and asked, “Tuan Zi, are you sure that Shangguan Yue is in front?”
“Yeah!” Tuan Zi nodded in confusion. Hasn’t everyone followed me all the way? Why is Clan Leader Grandpa suddenly asking about this?
Yi Zhao paused.
Shangguan Jing saw that there was something wrong with his expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Clan Leader Yi Zhao, is there something wrong?”
Yi Zhao shook his head. “Nothing. It’s just that Yi Yu and I can’t continue forward; we can only send Tuan Zi here.”
Shangguan Jing and the others were shocked.
Tuan Zi also widened her eyes and asked in confusion, “Clan Leader Grandpa, why?”
Yi Zhao raised his hand and pointed down. “This area is the Thirteen Hills, which is already considered the great phoenix dragons’ territory. If we pass through here, it’s very likely that Godly Dragon Island is ahead. Yi Yu and I have special identities, so we naturally can’t go in.”
When he said that, everyone looked at each other. If that is the case, there is really no choice.
Tuan Zi pursed her lips in disappointment and reluctance.
Although she hadn’t spent much time with Clan Leader Grandpa and Fifth Elder Grandpa, she could feel that they were sincere to her. Now that they were suddenly going to separate, she naturally felt a little uncomfortable.
She tied her hair in a bun. “Then, when Tuan Zi finds A’Yue, I’ll go back and see you and Fifth Elder Grandpa!”
Yi Zhao looked at her sincere and clean eyes and her confident expression, and his heart warmed. “Alright! I’ll wait for you to go back then.”
Elder Yi Yu was so touched that his eyes were filled with tears. “There’s still me, there’s still me! Fifth Elder Grandpa will definitely wait for you! I-if you want to see Fifth Elder Grandpa, just send me a message. No matter where you are, I will definitely be on call!”
His words finally made Tuan Zi happy, and a bright smile bloomed on her face. “It’s a deal!”
After that, Yi Zhao and Elder Yi Yu coaxed Tuan Zi for a while longer before really saying goodbye and watching them leave.
Looking at Tuan Zi’s gradually departing figure, Elder Yi Yu couldn’t help but say, “Clan Leader, can you really rest assured? Tuan Zi is the young mistress after all. Once she enters Godly Dragon Island, her aura will definitely be sensed. What if those people on Godly Dragon Island make things difficult for Tuan Zi?”
Yi Zhao’s face was expressionless. “Even if we can’t relax, we have to. If we really follow, things will only become more troublesome.”
Therefore, they could only make this choice.
“As long as Tuan Zi goes over, they will definitely make things difficult for her. Fortunately, Tuan Zi is still young and has a contractual relationship with Shangguan Yue. It’s an extremely legitimate reason to look for Shangguan Yue. Even if they want to do something to Tuan Zi, they have to think of a suitable reason to do so.”
They had originally been brooding over the contract between Tuan Zi and Shangguan Yue, but today, it seemed that it wasn’t without benefits.
Only then did Elder Yi Yu feel more at ease. “Now, I just hope that everything will go smoothly for Tuan Zi and the others…”
Yi Zhao was silent for a moment before asking, “That Rong Xiu… Do you know his identity and background?”
Elder Yi Yu did not expect him to suddenly mention this. After being stunned for a moment, he said, “Don’t you know that? He’s the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace!”
Yi Zhao shook his head. “What I mean is… his other identities.”
Elder Yi Yu suddenly recalled something. “Do you suspect Rong Xiu because of Nan Yifan’s previous reaction?”
Yi Zhao nodded.
There was nothing to deny. He indeed felt that Nan Yifan’s attitude towards Rong Xiu was very strange.
The Nan family’s power was only stronger than the Sky-Cloud Empire. As the family head, Nan Yifan had no reason to be so afraid of Rong Xiu.
“This… I really don’t know. Rong Xiu has been famous in the Sky-Cloud Empire for the past few years, but I don’t think I’ve heard of him having any other background other than being the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace… Why don’t I go back and check?” Elder Yi Yu probed.
Yi Zhao was about to nod when he suddenly paused as if he were hesitating about something. After thinking for a long time, he waved his hand. “Forget it. Since he didn’t say anything, there’s no need for us to ask around deliberately. We’ll naturally know about these things when it’s time.”
He took one last look in the direction Tuan Zi and the others had left.
The figures had completely disappeared from sight.
A wind blew, stirring the corners of their clothes.
Yi Zhao lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in them and turned around. “It’s time for us to go back.”
