Chapter 1720
Baoying Palace.
Ren Lan, who was originally driven out by the Wuji royal guards, sat in the luxurious palace with a swagger and was treated as a guest of honor.
The maids took turns to serve her, and the table was filled with delicacies, which made her dizzy and salivate.
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 Ren Lan, who had been blacklisted by the Wuji royal family.
There was no way, because Huangfu Ying was the most beloved daughter of Emperor Wuji, and Lin Jichen had a favor to the Wuji royal family, so naturally he gave the green light.
Seeing so many delicious meals with various attributes, Ren Lan cast an inquiring look at Lin Jichen.
After getting the affirmation, she was no longer polite and enjoyed it happily.
Their Quan Sect doesn't have these delicious foods, such as the imperial banquet in the palace, and eating them can increase your attributes, so it's a waste not to eat them.
Seeing Ren Lan eating with relish, Lin Jichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he himself ate much more exaggeratedly than her when he was a guest of the Qianlong Royal Family for the first time, so he understood.
"Thank you for the hospitality of Senior Huangfu and the little princess, I am honored."
Lin Jichen raised his glass and saluted Huangfu Ying who was sitting opposite him.
Next to Huangfu Ying, there was a man in a dragon robe, who 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. You don't have to be polite. In the past, he not only helped me solve the crisis of the fishmen, but also wiped out the Ghost Palace together. We are also Taoist friends who share weal and woe. Why should you be so polite? I am so happy that you can come."
Lin Jichen smiled and said a few polite words, and then went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"Senior, I came here this time to buy the Burning Lotus Heart Sutra of your sect. I wonder if you can give it up?"
Huangfu Song hesitated slightly, looked at Ren Lan, and asked curiously: "Are you asking for her?"
"That's right."
"Who is she to you?"
"My Taoist partner." Lin Jichen said bluntly.
Ren Lan, who was still eating, blushed when she heard it, and quickly put down her chopsticks and smiled shyly.
The always carefree girl became shy for the first time when she said this.
Huangfu Song nodded to show that he understood, but Huangfu Ying on the side pouted, seeming a little unhappy.
"If it was 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 left by Zhang Heng, a generation of boxer saint. This is the relic of a powerful person in the Yuhua realm. Its preciousness cannot be replaced by ordinary things. What you, your Taoist companion, have is not good enough at all."
Huangfu Song was straightforward and told Lin Jichen frankly that the things the other party called for did not meet his standards and were too inferior.
Lin Jichen didn't care at all after hearing this. He was a wholesaler of heavenly 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 take it out, you have to agree to one condition of mine first."
"Senior, please tell me."
Huangfu Song immediately told Lin Jichen about the relationship between their Wuji Royal Family and the Red Flame Fist Sect.
It turned out that more than a hundred years ago, there was a scandal in the Wuji Royal Family. Huangfu Song's younger brother, Huangfu Ying's uncle, Huangfu Yi.
During a trip, Huangfu Yi broke into the Wan Yao Territory and fell in love with a thousand-year-old snake demon, and became pregnant.
Because of his human identity, Huangfu Yi could not stay in the Wan Yao Territory, so he had to leave the demon world with his snake demon wife, trying to conceal his identity and hide back in the Prince's Mansion in Wuji City to live a small life.
But unexpectedly, on the way back, he happened to meet the great elder of the Quan Sect, who was also Ren Lan's current master, Wei Haoran.
Wei Haoran had the same personality as the Tianjian elder. He hated evil and took it as his duty to subdue demons and demons. When he found that the woman next to Huangfu Yi was a snake demon, he immediately tried to eliminate the demon.
Huangfu Yi naturally refused and immediately fought with Wei Haoran. Unfortunately, Huangfu Yi was not a match for Wei Haoran because of his poor cultivation. He was defeated by Wei Haoran, and his wife could not escape and was suppressed and subdued by him.
No matter how Huangfu Yi begged, Wei Haoran was 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 find the snake demon again, hoping that he would forget this relationship.
But Huangfu Yi was unexpectedly a lovesick man. In order to save the snake demon, he did not hesitate to hurt himself and was even willing to be demonized.
Huangfu Song couldn't bear it and wanted to help his brother, but it was useless even if he came forward. Wei HaoranNot giving any face.
Including the Chiyan Fist Sect, they also refused to hand over the snake demon on the grounds that humans and demons cannot have private relations, and even handed it over to Putuo Temple and locked it in the demon-suppressing tower in the temple.
Huangfu Song knew that he was in the wrong and had no choice but to leave, but when Huangfu Yi learned that his wife had been detained in Putuo Temple, he was so angry that he almost went crazy.
After that, Huangfu Yi made a move that shocked the world. He withdrew from the Wuji Royal Family and went to Putuo Temple. He was willing to become a monk and guard outside the demon-suppressing tower all day long.
After the world knew about this, they laughed at the Huangfu family for having an idiot. He gave up his status as a prince and the position of the great elder of the Wuji Royal Family, but was willing to go to the temple to become a monk, and even became the lowest-ranking monk.
As a result, the Wuji Royal Family was ridiculed by countless people, and Huangfu Song also completely forged a feud with the Chiyan Fist Sect.
After all, if it weren't for Wei Haoran, his brother wouldn't have become a monk, which caused him not to see his brother for more than a hundred years, and 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 almost said in unison: "Isn't this... the Legend of the White Snake?"
Yes, this experience is too similar to the classic Chinese love story, the Legend of the White Snake.
The story of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen is well-known in China.
But that is just a myth after all, it is fictional.
I just didn't expect that such a story really happened in this Bahuang continent.
The only difference is that in the Chinese story, the male protagonist is an ordinary little doctor, while in Bahuang, the male protagonist is a dignified prince.
But Lin Jichen feels that love in Bahuang is even more rare, after all, Huangfu Yi, as a prince of the Wuji royal family, is equivalent to the great elder of a first-class sect.
But he willingly shaved his head and became a monk, gave up the throne, and chose to be a menial monk.
This courage is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Lin Jichen dared to say that if the Chinese people knew this story first, there would be no Xu Xian.
He also instantly admired Huangfu Yi, a good man, the ceiling of pure love warriors.
