Dream Picking Records
Chapter 45 The Whereabouts of the Heart-Swallowing Lotus
Not long after the two left the alley, they successfully found out Xia Ye's whereabouts.
In the Sage Building, Xia Ye was meeting with the heads of other forces in Ning'an City on the fourth floor. These people were often suppressed by the Cai family, and they had long complained about the Cai family's bullying and dominating the market. However, they had a destiny-level boss in charge, so they dared not speak out, but now they finally saw the dawn.
After the seriously injured Cai Sheng was taken home by Cai Mao, the head of the Cai family, the news was blocked and no one knows the specific situation now.
"My dear seniors, my father is busy with affairs so I have to attend the event on his behalf. I hope you can forgive me. I will drink a glass of wine as a punishment first." After saying this, Xia Ye picked up the glass and drank it all.
"Young Prince, you are joking. It is our honor that you host a banquet here. We cannot express our gratitude enough. Don't you agree?" One person took the lead, and the leaders of the various families present hurriedly smiled and nodded in agreement.
"I wonder if the young prince has any specific instructions for us this time?" This is what everyone present wants to know. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If Cai Sheng is not seriously ill or fights back with a seriously injured body, they can't afford it. Now it's best to have Prince Ning'an take the lead in matchmaking.
"As a feudal lord, my father's job is to protect the stability of his area. He cannot interfere with the forces within the territory. You all know that." Xia Ye glanced at the old foxes present. They were all pretending to be ignorant.
"Prince Ning'an is busy with all kinds of affairs and works day and night for the people. He is really hard-working, and we admire him. This gathering is just to discuss our dissatisfaction with the Cai family's tyranny." The middle-aged man who spoke was the head of the Li family. He had recently risen and was very ambitious. If they could get close to Prince Ning'an, it would be of great help to their family's development.
Xia Ye was unmoved. He had heard this kind of talk since he was a child and was immune to it. However, he still revealed his secret to them out of necessity.
"Just rest assured and do your job well. Others will take care of the rest."
The heads of each family were getting nervous and were racking their brains to think silently about how to maximize their profits, but no one responded for a while.
It was Old Li who reacted first and said, "The Cai family has no respect for the superior and inferior, and recently they have been arrogantly challenging the authority of Prince Ning'an. I am the first to disagree and support Prince Ning'an."
"You seem to have made a mistake. Father is always neutral and impartial." Xia Ye glanced at him sideways, his tone calm but with a hint of coldness.
Old Li suddenly realized his mistake and corrected his words. Others were happy to see someone flattering the horse.
Wang Xiao went downstairs to find the servant of Ning'an Palace, took out Xia Qingling's token and asked him to pass it to Xia Ye. The servant recognized that the token was an important item in the imperial city and asked him to wait here. He hurried upstairs, ignoring Xia Ye and others' conversation and went straight to his side to whisper.
"Excuse me everyone, a friend of mine has arrived, please do as you please." Xia Ye recognized the token and immediately stood up and left.
Several bigwigs in the city were also surprised. Who was so generous as to allow the young prince to go down and greet him in person?
Xia Ye came downstairs and saw only one person and one bird downstairs, no one he knew. Just as he was wondering who the token belonged to, a voice sounded in his heart.
"Brother Xia, it's me."
The voice sounded familiar. He looked at the other party and asked, "Brother Xiao?"
Wang Xiao smiled, while Xia Ye opened his mouth in surprise. After walking up, he communicated in his heart.
"I heard that you died in the forbidden land of Tianyuan, which made me sad for a long time!" Xia Ye couldn't hide his excitement and punched his chest.
"It's good to be alive. Those old dogs who claim to be righteous will be scared to death when they see you!"
Knowing that it was those hypocritical old guys who carried forbidden weapons to kill Wang Xiao, he wanted to settle the score with them at all costs, but his identity did not allow him to do so.
"Hello, I'm Wang Yu, from the Imperial City." Wang Xiao introduced himself and told his current name.
"What about me? Why don't you introduce me?" Feng Tingjun jumped angrily on his shoulder.
"Brother Lu, where did you get this pet? It can talk at such a young age."
"I'm not a pet, my name is Wang Da!"
Hahahaha, Xia Ye was amused.
Xia Ye asked the servants to inform the people upstairs that the discussion was over and he would leave first. After returning the token to Wang Xiao, he took them back to the palace. On the way, Wang Xiao answered Xia Ye's questions about the token.
Ning'an Palace is located in the center of the city, guarding the four directions. The tall buildings stand solemnly and are arranged in an orderly manner. The palace is surrounded by green spiritual trees and plants, decorated with fresh flowers, and the small bridges and flowing water are pleasant. Walking through the corridor, the clusters of flowers and plants attract bees and butterflies to linger, and the rockery piled with spiritual stones is bizarre.
Last time I left in a hurry and only borrowed the teleportation array in the palace, so I didn't have time to appreciate the scenery in the courtyard.
When they arrived at the secret room, Wang Xiao revealed his true appearance again. Without waiting for Xia Ye to speak, he took the initiative to ask, "I came here to ask for a favor. Brother Xia, have you ever heard of the Awakening Spirit Lotus?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable and have never heard of this thing. Let me ask my father." Xia Ye frowned and shook his head after thinking for a while. As he said that, he took out the communication talisman and sent a message to King Ning'an.
The light flashed, and King Ning'an appeared in the secret room. He thought someone was impersonating to deceive his son, so he carefully observed the Wang Xiao in front of him as soon as he came in, and only gave him a gentle smile after confirming that he was right.
"Junior pays homage to King Ning'an." Wang Xiao was very grateful to King Ning'an, otherwise even if the dean held the holy weapon, none of them would have survived.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. You have improved your cultivation. Not bad, not bad."
"Senior is so complimentary."
"What do you want the Awakening Lotus for?"
"Go back to the King of Heaven, save my sister Ye's life." Wang Xiao recounted everything that happened that day, causing several people and the bird to sigh.
"The Awakening Spirit Lotus has harsh growing conditions and blooms only once every thousand years. Plus, there are no effective preservation measures after picking, which makes its number very rare. Many people have never even heard of it, let alone seen it. Um, as far as I know, there should be no such thing in Daxia."
After Prince Ning'an finished his story, Wang Xiao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Fortunately, Prince Ning'an's next words pulled him out.
"But as far as I know, there is a secret place where someone once brought out the Heart Summoning Lotus."
"Please inform the Heavenly King!" Wang Xiao was so excited that he grabbed his sleeve and spoke incoherently.
"Please forgive me, senior. I lost my composure."
King Ning'an didn't care and said, "There are five continents on this planet scattered in the ocean. Humans have established five dynasties on them, namely Xia, Qin, Han, Tang and Ming. In contrast, the demons have also established many forces, which are scattered all over the continent and compete with the five countries. Local conflicts between humans and demons are inevitable, but the overall situation is harmonious and natural."
"An unprecedented event will be held every hundred years, during which a secret realm will be opened for young cultivators from various countries and the demon race who are below the Hedao realm to compete. There is a medicine garden in the secret realm, which has formations engraved by predecessors to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which meets the conditions for the growth of the Heart-Calling Lotus. It will begin in less than a year," King Ning'an said.
Wang Xiao carefully wrote down every word he said, and his tense mood finally eased.
King Ning'an smiled slightly and said, "The number of places for each country in our human race is limited, only twenty. And I have one of the recommended votes for the place decided by the Great Xia Royal Family."
King Ning'an stared at him without blinking and said, "I can give you the place I have. The only request is that you take good care of my son in the future."
"I will never forget the great kindness of the Heavenly King!" Wang Xiao said solemnly, bowing respectfully to him in gratitude, while being surprised at the words of King Ning'an.
Xia Ye also looked at his father in surprise. He didn't expect that he had such high expectations for Wang Xiao.
There are many occasions in life where one needs to gamble, and King Ning'an obviously placed his bet on the young man in front of him. His strong intuition told him that this young seedling would one day grow into a towering tree, guaranteeing that the younger generation would be protected by its shade.
"Okay, Ye'er, tell me about the reactions of those families in the city and your next plans."
"Reporting to my father, those families in the city have long been restless and want to encroach on and divide up the Cai family. They are just afraid that Cai Sheng, who is still alive in the Cai family, wants someone to take the lead and set an example, so that even if they fail, someone can take the blame."
Prince Ning'an sneered at this and said, "They do have a good idea, but they lack the courage that the Cai family had back then, so they are destined to be nothing. It's a pity that the Cai family is a little ignorant and too ambitious. It's not easy to touch him on normal days, but this time they have an excuse. They are preparing to announce to the public that Mr. Cai died of his injuries after fighting with the dean of Yunshan Academy. You go and prepare first."
"Yes, Father."
