King of Nine Skies-Chapter 110 - :Youth behind the curtain

In the heart of the imperial city, there stands a vast palace, extremely expansive and imposing in its grandeur and majesty.

Around the palace, there were numerous guards patrolling constantly. Compared with the outer perimeter of the imperial city, the guards here were many times more numerous and strict.

Here, this is precisely the heart of the imperial city, the power center of the Snow Moon Kingdom, the residence of the Snow Moon royal family, and the royal palace.

It is said that there are 8,100 checkpoints in this palace. Only by passing through these numerous checkpoints can one reach the core area of the palace.

However, at this moment, there was a figure moving about inside the palace, walking steadily as if on an ordinary street. The vigilance in the dark was not obstructed by anyone.

This person was dressed in black. His face was angular. Though young, he gave the impression of being as steady as a mountain.

Through a series of heavy curtains, this man in black reached a pond. Beside the pond, there was an ancient pavilion. Among them, a figure was sitting on a stone bench of the pavilion, holding a slender bamboo pole in his hand and fishing.

This figure was dressed in a simple white shirt, with a gentle complexion. He was about twenty years old, similar in age to the man in black. He was sitting casually there, yet gave off an impression of being unfathomably profound.

The man in black walked behind this person and stood there quietly without saying a word.

After a while, the angler's hand trembled slightly. The silver thread made a graceful arc as a heavy fish weighing several kilograms landed in the bamboo basket beside him. A faint smile appeared on his face.

"South Mountain, come here and sit down."

The young man turned his head and gave a glance at the man in black. Then he smiled gently.

"Your Highness."

Nanshan slightly bowed to the young man, but did not sit down. The young man did not insist either.

"Nanshan, you haven't been here for several days, have you? This time you've come, is there any news to report?"

"Um." Nan Shan gave a slight nod and said, "Your Highness, Lord Daopeng and Lord Lu Xue have both arrived."

"The Snow Moon Holy Order is about to be established. It's not surprising that the two of you came to the Imperial City at this time. I think if that's all there is to it, you wouldn't have come all this way just for this, would you?"

The smile on the young man's face remained gentle, but in that gentle gaze there was a hint of wisdom, penetrating everything.

"Your Highness is so good at predicting things. Today at Qingxin Restaurant, Nan Shan had an interesting encounter and also met two interesting people."

"Qingxin Restaurant is indeed a good place. Nan Shan, Qingxin is quite old now. When do you plan to propose marriage to her? I'm willing to act as your matchmaker."

The young man seemed not to be interested in what the old man had said about Nanshan Mountain, but rather mentioned something about Nanshan Mountain.

The man in black felt a sense of gratitude in his heart. At the same time, he secretly admired the prince. He always managed to touch others' hearts unconsciously, making people sincerely feel his kindness.

Qingxin was the woman he liked. If it were a young man who proposed marriage, even if the other party came from a prominent family, he would still not refuse. Even if Nan Shan was resolute-minded, he would still be moved by his simple words.

However, Nan Shan knows that it is not the right time to talk about his affairs now.

"Your Highness, today at Qingxin Restaurant, Duan Yu went to make a scene. However, she happened to encounter a sixteen-year-old boy who slapped her right there and then."

"Um?" The young man smiled slightly and said, "It's indeed an interesting thing. In the outer city, there aren't many people who dare to slap Shen Yulei's face. Old Shen Li should be furious now. Qingxin, she shouldn't just stand by and do nothing, should she?"

"Your Highness was absolutely right in your prediction. The incident occurred at Qingxin Restaurant. Qingxin naturally couldn't just stand by and do nothing. And Duan Lie also went there. However, in the end, all efforts were in vain. The entire restaurant was demolished, including myself as one of the staff. We had to flee in a hurry."

Nanshan gave a bitter smile. This made the young man's interest grow stronger and he quipped, "A master of the Xuanwu realm, a sixteen-year-old lad. It's impossible for him to be someone's son. What's his family background?"

"Your Highness, this time you might have misunderstood. The person who made the move indeed possesses the power of the Xuanwu Realm, but it was a woman, a very beautiful and young one, wearing a veil and thus her identity was unknown. As for that young man, he was indeed a disciple of a certain family, but he was by no means as you supposed."

Nanshan deliberately kept mum, making the young man chuckle: "Nanshan, you've actually managed to lose my interest too. But that woman in the Xuanwu Realm, she couldn't even figure out her identity even after I tried to find out about her?"

"Nothing could be found. There has never been any trace of her. But I think Your Highness would be more interested in that young man."

"Oh?" A glimmer of interest flashed in the young man's eyes. Was this a young fellow who was even more intriguing to him than the strong ones of the Xuanwu Realm?

"What's his name?"

"Lin Feng, Shuangmu Lin, the maple leaf's maple," replied the man in black.

"Lin Feng." The young man murmured, "On that day, the entire staff of Yunhai Sect perished in an attempt to save one person's life. The one who was saved seemed to be named Lin Feng."

"Yes, it's precisely that man. However, his background story should be more interesting to Your Highness." The man in black continued to withhold information.

"Come and have a look." The young man's eyes flashed.

"Lin Feng was born in Yangzhou City," the man in black reminded.

"Yangzhou City, Lin Feng..." He murmured to himself. Immediately, the young man's gaze narrowed, and a brilliant light flashed in his eyes for a moment, extremely captivating.

"Her son?"

"Exactly, her son." The man in black nodded.

The young man heard this and was silent for a moment. His gaze was wavering. Then he said, "Indeed, my interest in him is stronger."

"South Mountain, don't let this matter be known to anyone else."

"Your Highness, I understand how to do it," Nan Shan replied with a smile.

At this moment, Lin Feng was not aware that this conversation in the pavilion had bestowed upon him several additional identities. However, none of these identities were related to the Lin family in Yangzhou, nor were they connected to the one in the Imperial City.

Getting out of the carriage, Lin Feng and the others looked at the vast open space ahead. One after another, some young men and women came towards them, their eyes brimming with excitement and pride.

Straight ahead of the open space, there is an arched gate. Above the gate, several large characters are carved - "Tianyi College!"

These characters are written in a flowing and vigorous style, especially the characters "天" (Heaven) and "一" (One). Despite the seemingly gentle strokes, they carry an overwhelming forceful aura. They are domineering and aloof, as if they are unique in both heaven and earth. This is Tianyi.

In front of the arched gate, there were several elderly people sitting on stone benches. In front of the stone tables where they were sitting, there were stone tables placed for holding pens and ink.

Among the crowd that came here, occasionally someone would approach the old man and hand him a letter, then make a note, take a card, and finally excitedly enter the Tianyi College beyond the arched gate.

"Roar!" At this moment, the roar of an evil beast rang out, attracting the attention of many people.

When the crowd's gaze shifted, they saw a young girl dressed in a fiery red garment, actually riding on top of a demonic beast.

This monster beast is an evil lion. It has brown fur, which is as intense as flames and extremely intimidating. Especially when it roars, it makes people feel dreadfully scared.

"Such a grand gesture to ride on a spirit beast as a mount!"

Some people were surprised in their hearts. Their gaze towards that young girl was filled with both jealousy and admiration.

"Zhong Ling."

At this moment, a voice rang out. Behind the girl, a black shadow flashed by and came up to her side.

"Shao Yue Luo, another spirit beast demon," the crowd's pupils contracted for a moment. They saw that on the figure was a young man, around sixteen or seventeen years old. When he sat down, it was Shao Yue Luo, the spirit beast demon.

"Surely this is the Tianyi College! It truly is a place for the nobility."

Many people feel a sense of loneliness in their hearts. Tianyi Academy, although not prominent in the area far away from the imperial city, is extremely famous within the imperial city. Anyone who steps into Tianyi Academy is either a noble disciple with extraordinary talent or a commoner child with exceptional natural abilities.

Of course, there were also some who remained steadfast in their gaze, not even glancing at that monster beast. In their eyes, there was only persistence.

"Sen Feng, it seems we are a bit poor." Lin Feng led the horse, not far from the young couple. Due to the intimidating presence of the Flame Lion and the Howl Moon Wolf, the Thousand Mile Snow in front of the carriage, which was pulled by Lin Feng, was trembling in its legs and dared not move forward. This made Lin Feng unable to help but smile wryly. With great effort, he pulled the Thousand Mile Snow forward slowly.

"Brother Lin Feng, I'm here to practice cultivation, not to enjoy myself." Duan Feng nodded and shook his head with a smile.

The voices were heard by the men and women beside them. The two turned around and their gazes swept over the group of people including Duan Fenglin and Feng Lin. They sneered and said, "How come there are yet another bunch of scum here?"
