Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 660 Sauvignon Blanc 22

As soon as Xuan was a little more awake, he heard a pleasant female voice saying that he had wasted his cultivation. He did not feel angry at all, but was rather very disdainful of the person who spoke, thinking that the other person did not understand him at all. As the grandson of the King of Xiyan, it was not important for him to have a high level of cultivation; what was important was his ability and means to control power.

Xuan opened his eyes slightly, wanting to see who was talking nonsense in front of him. When Hao Ling Jiuyao saw him wake up and was about to say something, she was squeezed by Lao Sang's pounce. She stood up and took two steps back to give Lao Sang the place, but Xuan's eyes were always fixed on the flower ornament on her forehead.

Old Sang cried and said to Xuan: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you really suffered a lot this time because of that little princess!"

However, Xuanxuan had no time to talk to Lao Sang. He was so excited that he wanted to stand up and hold Hao Ling Jiuyao, "Xiao Yao, you are Xiao Yao, right?!"

Upon hearing this, Old Sang remembered that he had not yet told Xuan that Hao Ling Jiu Yao had been found, so he quickly stood up to make some room for Hao Ling Jiu Yao, "Yes, yes, Her Highness Princess Wang is finally back!"

Hao Ling Jiuyao watched as Xuan Xuan excitedly sat up, and could not help but take a half step forward, muttering, "Brother Xuan..."

The brother and sister reunited after more than 300 years. At this moment, they were both surprised and excited, but there was a tiny but noticeable disappointment in their hearts.

In the following time, Hao Ling Jiuyao first used her spiritual power to speed up the recovery of Xuan's body, and then the two of them slowly exchanged their experiences over the years.

When Hao Ling Jiuyao talked about her experiences over the years, she felt aggrieved and sad, but also somewhat relieved. It was true that she had lost a lot, but she also gained a lot, so she could speak calmly to the end and even tease Xuan's shabby cultivation.

"...I was busy escaping and making a living for a long time, so it was inevitable that I neglected my cultivation. Later, when I had time, a fox demon used drugs to force me to transform my spiritual power into flesh and blood. I was almost used as blood food for the fox demon to improve my cultivation, so I couldn't practice."

"Brother Xuan, you have a lot to learn, but you are a person of extraordinary intelligence. It is completely easy for you to take care of your cultivation while studying. But I really didn't expect that your cultivation is so seriously mismatched with your qualifications..."

Hao Ling Jiuyao gave Xuan a little face and didn't tell him that he had let Hao Lingyi be kidnapped when he had guards around him. As a result, he almost got himself involved when he went to rescue her.

Xuan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. If he didn't know that the person who said such words was his Xiaoyao when he just woke up, he just felt that the other party was nonsense, which was very similar to a summer insect talking about ice. Now he could only admit that he had neglected his cultivation.

"I do have a lot of things to do every day, and it's already great that I can squeeze out time to practice. As for the idea that practicing is a waste of talent, anyway..."

Although he had long since set his ambition to seize power in Xiyan, and even thought about unifying the world so that there would be only one country in this vast wilderness, now was not the right time to say this. He could not expose his desire and pursuit for power in front of his Xiaoyao too early.

Hao Ling Jiu Yao just listened casually to what Xuan said and repeated what she had said to Ruoshou before about the academy: as long as you live long enough, you can achieve something no matter what you learn.

In the face of power and status, personal cultivation may not really be important, but given Xuan's situation, if he has some cultivation, he can obviously protect himself better than if he has mediocre cultivation.

Since Xuan himself is not keen on cultivation, Hao Ling Jiuyao certainly won't force him after reminding him.

The brother and sister accommodated each other, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious, and this harmonious atmosphere continued into the dinner party.

At the banquet, except for the elder Prince Hao Ling, all the others were juniors. Concubine Jing'an was not among them because Prince Hao Ling considered that Concubine Jing'an's appearance was too similar to Xiling Heng. Although he dared to say that he had some feelings for Concubine Jing'an, he decided to make her his concubine because of her similar appearance to Xiling Heng.

Although Prince Hao Ling did not shy away from his hidden thoughts in the past, he did not want the younger generations to think too much, so he did not let Concubine Jing'an attend the dinner for the time being.

Hao Lingyi was originally a little unhappy that her mother didn't come, but seeing how overly intimate King Hao Ling and Hao Ling Jiuyao were, she felt jealous and unhappy, but also thought that it was good for her mother not to see such a scene.

During the banquet, Xuan had been trying his best to show how much he valued Hao Ling Jiu Yao, and he also tried his best to show how much he valued and loved Hao Ling Jiu Yao on behalf of King Hao Ling. Seeing him like this, Rushou could only sneer in his heart, because he knew that no matter what Xuan's purpose was for doing this today, not to mention King Hao Ling, even Hao Ling Jiu Yao was beyond his control, and he could only wait to see what would happen to Xuan.

It seemed that everyone's attention was on Hao Ling Jiuyao and they ignored Hao Lingyi. Rushou cared about Hao Lingyi as usual, but even so, Hao Lingyi felt very uncomfortable. She was worried that when Hao Ling Jiuyao came back, she and her mother would be forgotten by King Hao Ling.

Especially after King Hao Ling announced that Hao Ling Jiuyao would live in the palace where Xi Ling Heng formerly lived, Hao Lingyi would probably have left on the spot if Rushou had not been watching over her.

It's not that Hao Ling Jiuyao didn't see all this, but she didn't know how to get along with Hao Lingyi. Just when she wanted to get closer to Hao Lingyi, Xuan would always jump out to make trouble. Even if she didn't want to doubt Xuan for anything, she couldn't help but think too much when she saw him like this.

When King Hao Ling saw the performance of the four people below, he felt very relieved for his two daughters, Hao Ling Jiuyao and Hao Ling Yi. He was also very satisfied with Rushou's ability to comfort Hao Lingyi. As for Yuxuan, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Xuan tried his best to prove that Hao Ling Jiuyao's identity was more noble than Hao Lingyi, and he wanted to prove that Hao Ling Jiuyao's status in King Hao Ling's mind was not comparable to Hao Lingyi. All this might be partly because Hao Ling Jiuyao had been missing for too long and had just returned. King Hao Ling was too lazy to guess more things, but he was actually a little dissatisfied with Xuan.

At night, King Hao Ling called Rushou alone and said, "Go and test Anian to see if she really must be with Dixuan and must... marry Dixuan and become his wife..."

Rushou keenly noticed that King Haoling's attitude towards Haoxuan had changed. He suppressed his inner excitement and accepted the task without hesitation. Even though he was not sure about Hao Lingyi, he wanted to give it a try, even if it was just for Hao Lingyi's future.

However, Hao Lingyi disappointed Rushou. Under his suggestion, Hao Lingyi reconsidered her feelings for Dixuan. She found that she could not live without Dixuan. Even though Dixuan was no longer perfect in her mind, she felt that as Princess Hao Ling, it was just right for her to be with Dixuan, the grandson of the Prince of Xiyan.

Without getting a satisfactory answer, Rushou was not in a hurry to report to King Haoling. He just wanted to delay it a little longer. He also hoped that Haolingyi, who would experience more things in the future, would be able to see the true cold-blooded face of Xuanxuan.

On the other hand, Haoling Jiuyao still did not agree to announce her identity as Princess Haoling to the world and hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony.

But King Hao Ling had already made up his mind, and simply persuaded her: "Xiao Yao, you are your father's eldest daughter, and you should be the eldest princess of Hao Ling. You have admitted this yourself."

"And I already have an idea about the future of Hao Ling. Xuan does look like a capable leader. In the future, he might really create a powerful country that unifies the Great Wilderness. By then, Ah Nian's identity will be a bit awkward. If you can travel the Great Wilderness as a disciple of the academy and support the Hao Ling royal family, the Hao Ling royal family will not become hostages like Chi Shui Xiao Ye and Chen Rong Xin Yue."
