Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2188 - 2188 Xie Qingcheng



2188 Xie Qingcheng

“Scarlet Rainbow,”

Right then, a man’s call sounded not far away. It was intimate and magnetic. One could feel a warm power just by listening to his voice.

Su Zimo glanced sideways and saw a white-robed man walking over slowly from the long street not far away.

Su Zimo was slightly stunned when he saw that person.

The surrounding cultivators exclaimed as well.

This man was way too beautiful and his features were handsome without any flaws. He was like a jade statue and was even prettier than many fairies and beauties.

If not for his preconceived notion that this was a man’s voice, in this sudden encounter, Su Zimo would not have believed that the person before him was a man.

Princess Scarlet Rainbow was already a rare beauty. However, she was slightly inferior in front of this person.

The appearance of the white-robed man was way too dazzling.

At that moment, all the cultivators on the long street, be it men or women, paled in comparison.

“That’s a man?”

Su Zimo looked at the person in confusion.

“Brother Qingcheng,”

When Princess Scarlet Rainbow saw who it was, her eyes lit up and she was filled with smiles as she ran over and threw herself into the person’s embrace.

Su Zimo was finally certain when he heard her address him as Brother Qingcheng.

He looked around.

On both sides of the long street, there were still many cultivators staring at the white-robed man in a daze, as though they had lost their souls.

Among them, female cultivators were not the only ones; even male cultivators were not spared.

“Qingcheng,”

Su Zimo thought to himself, “This person’s name is rather apt. Indeed, he is devastatingly beautiful1.”

“Brother Qingcheng, why are you here?”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow raised her head and asked coquettishly.

The white-robed man had a doting expression as he chuckled. “You went out to cultivate alone and didn’t come home to visit after such a long time. I missed you.”

“Aren’t I back now?”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow pouted her lips.

In front of the white-robed man, Princess Scarlet Rainbow did not have the slightest bit of arrogance as a princess. Instead, her tone carried a hint of wheedling—it was clear that the two of them were rather close.

As the white-robed man chatted with Princess Scarlet Rainbow, he even raised his head and looked at everyone from Heaven and Earth Academy with a smile.

The white-robed man’s gaze seemed to sweep past everyone from the academy, but he did not seem to ignore anyone.

After coming into contact with everyone, it felt like a spring breeze.

Princess Scarlet Rainbow chatted with the white-robed man for a while more before coming to a realization. She pulled the white-robed man to the front of everyone from the academy and said, “Brother Qingcheng, these are the elders of our academy. These are my fellow sect mates, the top 20 Earth Immortal paragons of the outer sect competition!”

After a brief pause, Princess Scarlet Rainbow pointed to the white-robed man and said to everyone from the academy, “This is my brother.”

“Greetings, elders and Fellow Daoists. I’m Xie Qingcheng.”

The white-robed man cupped his fists towards everyone from the academy with a smile.

“So, it’s Prince Qingcheng. We’ve heard a lot about you.”

The elders of the Academy exchanged glances and returned the greeting hurriedly.

Xie Qingcheng’s cultivation realm was around a Grade 5 Heaven Immortal and could not compare to the elders of the academy. However, he was a prince of the Yang Immortal Kingdom after all and the elders of the academy did not dare to be negligent.

“My status as a prince is merely a title,”

Xie Qingcheng smiled gently. “I’m of the same generation as Scarlet Rainbow and can be considered as a junior compared to you guys. Elders, please just call me Fellow Daoist.”

“N-No!”

The elders of the academy declined hurriedly.

After ascending, Su Zimo had seen some princes and princesses as well. Xie Qingcheng was the only one who did not have the airs of a prince and was approachable.

Born in the royal family and possessing the bloodline of the royal family, it was indeed rare for him to possess such bearing and temperament.

“Brother Qingcheng, he’s Su Zimo,”

Right then, Princess Scarlet Rainbow pointed to Su Zimo in the middle of everyone from the academy and added.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Su.”

Xie Qingcheng cupped his fists towards Su Zimo once more and smiled. “Scarlet Rainbow has not returned home all these years. However, she often mentions you in her letters.”

“Brother, you’re the best to me. You’re the only one who came to receive me personally,”

When she heard Xie Qingcheng mention this, Princess Scarlet Rainbow blushed and hurriedly changed the topic. “Second brother merely sent a guard to greet us at the teleportation formation.”

“Your second brother has to prepare to host the 10,000 Year Meet. Naturally, he has a lot of work to do and can’t leave,”

Xie Qingcheng said, “I have nothing much to do as a prince, so I came to pick you up. Let’s go. I’ve already prepared a banquet in the palace to welcome you guys.”

“Sure.”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow said, “Elder Zhong, Elder He, Su Zimo, let’s go together.”

Everyone from the academy did not decline and prepared to leave with Xie Qingcheng.

In the crowd, Xu Shi looked at Su Zimo who was in the middle of everyone from the academy with envy, admiration and emotions.

In just a few thousand years, the scholar from the Dragon Abyss Star had already grown to such an extent.

He singlehandedly suppressed the major immortal Dao clan, the Xue Clan, so badly that they did not dare to retaliate!

He could still stand here and chat merrily with the princes and princesses of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.

There was only yearning and longing in Xu Xiaotian’s eyes.

“That’s how life as a human should be led!”

Xu Xiaotian murmured softly.

“Forget it, no matter how much we struggle, we can’t win against fate,”

Xu Shi sighed gently. “Our lives will not be wasted if we can make a name for ourselves in Water Cloud Sword Sect.”

Water Cloud Sword Sect was only a black-grade sect and had limited cultivation resources. Xu Shi knew that the difference between them would only increase.

“I almost forgot that I haven’t returned this sword to you,”

Just as Xu Shi and Xu Xiaotian were feeling emotional, a voice sounded.

Unknowingly, Su Zimo had arrived before the two of them and handed them the rusty iron sword.

“No, no, no,”

Xu Shi declined hurriedly and said, “Exalted Immortal Su, you helped us tide through this calamity earlier on. This iron sword should belong to you…”

“Put it away.”

Su Zimo smiled and stuffed the iron sword into Xu Xiaotian’s hands.

Although the iron sword was indeed a little strange, he would not take advantage of the situation.

“Brother Su…”

Xu Xiaotian had been silent earlier on. Now, he finally mustered his courage and clenched his fists, saying with a trembling voice.

However, he suddenly felt that his manner of addressing was inappropriate and changed it hurriedly. “Mr. Su, can you take me in as your disciple?”

Su Zimo remained silent.

It was fate that they were reunited here. However, it was not to the point where he was tempted to take in a disciple.

Furthermore, he had many enemies in the upper world and it might not be a good thing for someone to become his disciple.

“If you don’t want me as a disciple, I can do chores! It’s fine as long as I can stay by your side, mister,”

Xu Xiaotian continued hurriedly, looking at Su Zimo nervously and expectantly.

“I’m afraid… that won’t do.”

Su Zimo shook his head gently.

Xu Xiaotian’s expression darkened.

At the side, Princess Scarlet Rainbow explained, “We’re only outer sect disciples in Heaven and Earth Academy. We’re not qualified to bring our own servants into the academy.”

“Don’t be discouraged,”

When Su Zimo saw that Xu Xiaotian was a little disappointed, he consoled him, “There’s no need for you to be a servant. If your cultivation is high enough, you can take part in the Immortal Sect Selection that happens once every hundred years. There’s a chance for you to become a true disciple of the academy.”
