In the Leaving the Royal Palace.
Nan Gong Yao sat at the head of the table, with Yun Tianmo, Rong Yi, Yun Tianying, and Ouyang Hao on his left; on his right were a handsome man, Feng Chengxuan, Feng Chengzhi, and Nangong Tuo.
"Today’s competition is canceled. Although everyone has agreed, I fear there are many doubts in the hearts of others," Nan Gong Yao said with a smile as he scanned the room.
Originally, Yun Tianmo was prepared to sit in the second position on the left, but Rong Yi insisted otherwise, so he took the first seat. Now that Nan Gong Yao had spoken, it was clear he intended to reveal that person's identity. But how much did Feng Chengxuan and Feng Chengzhi, the two Dream Country Princes, actually know about this?
Yun Tianmo felt that Nan Gong Yao was becoming a bit anxious.
"Nangong Sovereign, let’s speak plainly; just by looking at appearances, it seems this person is my brother," Rong Yi said casually.
The others seemed unfazed, but Feng Chengxuan and Feng Chengzhi were clearly taken aback. They had never known that the National Master had a brother. They had speculated earlier about his appearance, but this revelation was truly unexpected.
Indeed, the National Master of Dream Nation was none other than Rong Yi's biological brother. However, they had been separated for many years and had never mentioned this in public, so no one knew.
Most importantly, the National Master did not actually share the surname Rong.
"Master Rong, I never knew you had a brother," Nan Gong Yao said, narrowing his long eyes into slits. Although he said this, there was no hint of surprise on his face; he seemed too lazy to even pretend.
Rong Yi raised an eyebrow and remained silent, indicating that the person across from him should answer since he was the one who proposed to pause the competition.
The man in white slowly stood up, cupped his hands toward everyone, and then spoke slowly: "Rong Yi is indeed my brother, and the reason we have different surnames is that he has abandoned our family name."
Or rather, Rong Yi simply looked down on sharing the same surname with them.
Upon hearing this secret, everyone felt a spark in their eyes, even Nangong Tuo, who had been gloomy these past few days due to Ouyang Zixin marrying Yun Tianmo, perked up.
"Hehe, actually, none of this is important. I want to thank you all for agreeing to my unreasonable request." National Master spoke slowly, as if what he had just mentioned was not a secret at all, but merely a different form of self-introduction.
However, by the time everyone reacted, he had already shifted the topic elsewhere.
What is the surname of the National Master?
No one present knew, not even Feng Chengxuan and Feng Chengzhi, who had never heard of it before.
"The reason for requesting a pause in the competition is that there will be a blood disaster today." National Master brushed his sleeve and slowly sat down. "Perhaps you all do not believe me, but the fact that the Yuhai Continent remains calm after the Alien Manifestation is already strange. I rushed to the Capital of the Departed Nation to prevent this blood disaster."
"National Master, there will naturally be casualties in the competition; how can that be considered a blood disaster?" Feng Chengzhi recalled that on the first day of the competition, there had been some conflicts due to someone from Dream Nation acting ruthlessly, but those were minor issues that did not require National Master to come specifically.
National Master turned to glance at Feng Chengzhi. This successor in the eyes of the Dream Kingdom Ruler actually regarded human life as worthless. In contrast, Feng Chengxuan showed a hint of pity on his face, which was caught by National Master's peripheral vision.
"Compared to war, perhaps the casualties that occur during competitions are not significant, but what I mean by blood disaster is not referring to this." National Master continued, "The Alien Manifestation may not have attracted much attention yet, but once it happens, it will be too late."
"Master Rong, your brother is speaking cryptically; is what he says true or false?" Yun Tianying asked quietly as he leaned closer.
"I have never miscalculated," Rong Yi replied.
This response left Yun Tianying momentarily stunned, and the playful expression on his face faded as he straightened up to continue listening.
"The so-called calamity of blood originates from Alien Star, and only Alien Star can resolve it," National Master said, his gaze fixed intently on Nan Gong Yao. "Nangong Sovereign, you have what I need."
Upon hearing his name mentioned, Nan Gong Yao seemed to snap back to reality and slightly raised his hand. Before long, Li Feng arrived carrying a small box. Without looking up, Nan Gong Yao asked, "Is this what you were referring to?"
National Master smiled and nodded. Nan Gong Yao gestured for Li Feng to hand him the small box.
"How did Nangong Sovereign know that this is what I wanted?" National Master did not immediately reach out to take it but instead posed a question in return.
"The Bloodleaf Tree that appeared in Dream Nation—doesn't it warrant my consideration?" After some thought, this item was no longer a secret.
The cryptic exchange between the two left everyone else in confusion, yet no one dared to ask questions.
Everyone understood that asking would yield no answers.
"May I ask, National Master, if there is anything else you require?" Nan Gong Yao smirked slightly; he had another person here who might be related to Alien Manifestation, but he wasn't entirely certain about that.
National Master seemed to know everything and shook his head with a smile, stating that with the acquisition of this small box, there was nothing else he needed within the palace.
"National Master, you gathered everyone here not just to request a small box from Nangong Sovereign, right?" Yun Tianying asked with a smile. Since Master Rong claimed he had everything planned out, Yun Tianying naturally wanted to know more. After all, Alien Manifestation was not solely an issue for Dream Nation or Exiled Nation; it was also significantly related to Cloud Nation.
"This must be Cloud Nation's famous Ninth Prince, Yun Tianmo?" National Master had never seen Yun Tianmo in person and had only caught a glimpse of him in portraits, leading to his mistake.
“National Master, this is not Yun Tianmo; this is Seventh Prince Yun Tianying. The Yun Tianmo you mentioned is the one in front,” Feng Chengxuan explained from the side.
The National Master immediately turned to look at Yun Tianmo, and upon seeing him, he was lost in thought for a long time...
He looked so similar.
If Alien Manifestation were just a legend, perhaps he wouldn't believe in reincarnation.
But the man before him made him unable to dismiss the idea of reincarnation. It wasn't just about appearance; it was about the aura, a kind of presence...
Why had he not noticed someone like this at first?
“You concealed your aura?” The National Master said, nodding to himself. “It must be so.”
Yun Tianmo disliked the way he had just looked at him, as if he were looking at himself but also seeing through him to someone else...
That kind of gaze was truly irritating.
Because Ouyang Zixin had once looked at him with that same gaze.
“Who are you looking at?” (To be continued.)
