Zhai Yiqi was just about to answer Baike's question when he was interrupted by Feng Chengxuan. It was then that he realized there were more than just Baike and two others present; two people were standing not far from a large tree, and he hadn’t noticed them at all.
"Isn't that the Cloud Kingdom Ink King, the first person to enter the Millennium Ruins?" Feng Chengxuan said, gritting his teeth when mentioning "the first person," glaring at Baike with undisguised dissatisfaction. If it weren't for the incompetence of Bai Clan members, they wouldn't have fallen behind. At this point, they were not only missing treasures but had nearly lost their lives as well.
Everyone present was aware of Baike's awkward situation, but no one expected Feng Chengxuan to be so unyielding, causing her face to turn pale and flush as she struggled to find a way to respond.
Feng Chengxuan paid no mind to Baike's embarrassment. In his eyes, only those of similar royal status were worth befriending. Although Yun Tianying was the Seventh Prince of Cloud Nation, his poor condition made it uncertain how much longer he could live, so there was no need to waste time trying to befriend him. Earlier, he hadn’t had the chance to interact with Yun Tianmo outside the Millennium Ruins, but now that he had encountered him here, he certainly wouldn’t let this opportunity slip away.
The current situation in Dream Nation was undoubtedly influenced by the hidden hands of Exiled Nation and Cloud Nation. However, if they could resolve the alliance between these two nations or manage to deal better with one of them, it would undoubtedly benefit Dream Nation greatly. Even if it only provided a temporary respite, it would still be advantageous.
Seeing Feng Chengxuan walking toward Yun Tianmo, Zhai Yiqi turned back to look at Baike, wanting to offer comfort but unsure how to start. After much hesitation, he finally asked, "Did White Maiden encounter any dangers after entering the Millennium Ruins?"
Zhao Feiyu was too lazy to watch the reunion between these two old acquaintances and secretly followed behind Feng Chengxuan, preparing to enjoy the spectacle. From her observations, those two seemed to be studying something "mysterious," and Feng Chengxuan’s lack of awareness might lead him to miss out on something good.
She didn’t know why, but ever since witnessing Sito Rongyan's wedding commotion on the streets of the imperial capital last time, she seemed increasingly eager to watch dramas unfold.
"...If we can cheat... we can control... everything in the Millennium Ruins..."
Feng Chengxuan faintly heard Ouyang Zixin speaking with Yun Tianmo about something. If it weren't for his diminished sensing ability, he would have been able to hear clearly. However, all he caught were fragmented snippets. Yet even this little information was enough to shock him; could it be that these two had already obtained some Fortune Day? "Control," "everything"... As for "cheating," he didn’t quite grasp its full meaning.
They actually got ahead of him.
Feng Chengxuan secretly cursed and once again sent greetings to Baike and the Bai Clan from head to toe. He had never thought that even if the Bai Clan members came in first, he would not necessarily gain any benefits.
"Isn't this the renowned Ninth Prince of Cloud Nation? It's a pleasure to meet you..." Feng Chengxuan adjusted his mood, smiling broadly as he approached Yun Tianmo, who was still about ten steps away.
However, his "enthusiasm" clearly went unanswered, as Yun Tianmo was fully focused on the Screen and had no interest in a mere Crown Prince from Dream Nation.
Ouyang Zixin seemed to have heard someone calling Yun Tianmo and paused her explanation. Turning her head towards the source of the voice, she saw a man whose clothes were still wrinkled like pickled vegetables. His face was also covered in dirt, striding towards them with what he believed was an imposing demeanor, and it appeared he was the one greeting them.
"Hey, do you know that guy walking towards us?" Ouyang Zixin poked Yun Tianmo in the side with a finger, trying hard not to laugh.
Yun Tianmo had been about to urge Ouyang Zixin to continue when she mentioned someone approaching. He turned slightly to look and indeed saw a disheveled man coming toward them. Seeing him smile so confidently and calmly almost made Yun Tianmo want to compliment him on his "upbringing." It was quite impressive that he could walk with such, um, "grace" despite looking like that.
"This Prince has long wished to befriend the Ninth Prince; I never expected the opportunity would come so quickly..." Feng Chengxuan, of course, had no idea what the two opposite him were thinking after sizing him up. He maintained his demeanor as the Crown Prince of the Dream Kingdom and performed royal etiquette thoroughly.
"This Prince? Royalty?!"
Ouyang Zixin shot a glance at Yun Tianmo, a hint of mockery in her eyes. Were all royals like this? Even in such a disheveled state, he still insisted on putting on airs. Did he not realize how terrible he looked?
"Take back your thoughts." Yun Tianmo rolled his eyes at Ouyang Zixin. This Little Woman was becoming increasingly bold, daring to compare anyone with him.
Ouyang Zixin stuck out her tongue at being glared at, thinking that Yun Tianmo could not possibly have fallen to such a low point; otherwise, it would be unfair for him to glare at her.
"You are?" Ouyang Zixin asked as the man had now approached them, stepping back slightly with a look of disdain.
Feng Chengxuan was somewhat dissatisfied with Ouyang Zixin's actions; this was a blatant disregard for royal dignity. Moreover, what did that obvious disdain in her eyes mean? "You..."
Just as she was about to scold, Yun Tianmo stepped forward and stood in front of Ouyang Zixin, looking down at him and saying, "Crown Prince of the Dream Kingdom."
With that, he revealed the identity of the newcomer. Yun Tianmo truly seemed to know everyone. Ouyang Zixin couldn't help but admire him from behind; how many people could this man remember? Did he know everyone with even a slight reputation?
Seeing that Yun Tianmo recognized him, Feng Chengxuan felt a surge of joy. The rumors outside claimed that the Ninth Prince of Cloud Nation had a solitary and proud personality, making him difficult to approach, and that he had extremely high standards, hardly noticing ordinary people. Yet he could recognize Feng Chengxuan—didn't that mean he regarded him more highly than others?
If that were the case, then perhaps it wouldn't be so difficult for Dream Nation to establish a good relationship with Cloud Nation in the future.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited and immediately dismissed Ouyang Zixin's "disregard for royal dignity." He cupped his hands and said to Yun Tianmo, "Ninth Prince, you have a good memory; it is indeed This Prince."
"What is it?" Yun Tianmo did not want to waste time with this person. It seemed that the screen was displaying crucial information; if he missed it because of this encounter, it would be an enormous loss. Thus, his tone inadvertently revealed some disdain similar to Ouyang Zixin's... (To be continued.)
P.S.: Many people say that Descendants of the Sun is very good. Kouxin just watched a bit today and found the deputy officer quite charming! Xu Darong, right? Yes, not bad; very handsome.
