Inside a cave there was a man sitting in a cross-legged position. He was Yan Long who had been cultivating for three months.
Breaths were seen coming out of his mouth and nose. It was then followed by the sound of submerged explosions emanating from within his body twice.
Booms
Booms
The sound of a submerged explosion from Yan Long's body signified that he had managed to break through and unmitigatedly he had managed to break through to two stages at once.
After successfully breaking through as many as two stages. Now Yan Long's cultivation base was a stage 5 Ensoulment realm.
Yan Long then finished his cultivation and opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes the first thing he felt was the change he felt on his body after successfully breaking through.
His body was much lighter, his senses were also increasingly sensitive. He could feel the overwhelming power from within his body being overflowing.
" Commander survived having broken through two realms in one go "
Said the dragon general *1 upon seeing that Yan Long had finished cultivating.
Yan Long smiled in response to the words of the dragon general*1 and then walked up to the three of them who had been guarding him from the start while cultivating.
" This Solar Orchid is amazing, even though I have cultivated and managed to break through two stages at once. However, this flower still has a lot of spiritual aura in it "
Said Yan Long while showing the Surya orchid that still shines brightly to the three.
The three stared at the Surya orchid with wide eyes. They were amazed by the greatness of the Surya orchid.
" It's been almost four months we've been on the fog island, I don't know how the Empire is going when we leave it "
Said Yan Long while imagining the face of his family.
" With the previous two stalks of Surya orchids and coupled with the rest of mine, this can greatly help the dragon army "
Next later.
" What you say is absolutely true commander "
The dragon general said *1 approving of the words said by Yan Long.
" We'd better get back soon "
Yan Long.
Yan Long and his two generals returned to the Zhiliang empire using their new profound ark.
Not forgetting Ning Quinshu was also somehow Yan Long was able to persuade so that the woman agreed to go along with him.
Finally after a long journey. Finally they arrived at the Zhiliang empire.
Yan Long was immediately warmly welcomed by his family. As they looked at Ning Quinshu who indeed had a very pretty face.
Making them wonder what relationship Yan Long had with the woman. But Hong Liya, just immediately interpreted that Ning Quinshu was his son-in-law's candidate.
Long story short what Hong Liya said came true. Yan Long and Ning Quinshu fell in love and decided to get married.
Their marriage was warmly welcomed because Yan Long was a treasure of the Zhiliang empire because of his talent.
So was Ning Quinshu who could almost match Yan Long's talent. The two were together on the battlefield and had brought many victories to the Zhiliang empire.
And this makes many people supportive and very enthusiastic about their marriage.
The wedding at that time was very magnificent and very colorful because of the enthusiasm of the people of the Zhiliang empire who participated in enlivening the marriage.
But all that did not last long when some mysterious people from the immortal realm who claimed to be the family from Ning Quinshu came and wanted to bring Ning Quinshu back with them.
Yan Long of course disagreed plus Ning Quinshu who looked reluctant to follow them.
Together with the dragon army Yan Long fought against those mysterious people who only numbered twelve.
But Yan Long and his dragon army can be easily crippled by these mysterious people.
Not wanting to see Yan Long more injured, Ning Quinshu decided to go along with those mysterious people who at that very moment she was one month pregnant.
From then on Yan Long felt slumped and with his determination he promised himself that he would ascend to the eternal realm and be reunited with Ning Quinshu.
He busied himself by cultivating and fighting at the border. Yan Long did that routine every day, cultivating and going to war.
Seeing her son in a desperate state made Hong Liya feel sorry for him.
And thought of a plan so that his son could forget about Ning Quinshu and continue his life happily.
Hong Liya thought of finding a woman who could treat Yan Long's day and marry them off.
But how many times he tried still he could not find a suitable candidate who had at least a little in common with his beloved son-in-law.
Until one day he met a girl with a beautiful and innocent look. Even he admitted the beauty of the girl was not inferior to his daughter-in-law.
" Who is that girl ? "
Hong Liya asked from inside her carriage while pointing at a girl who was crouching quietly in the Flower Field in front of her.
The girl, when seen up close, will know that the girl is not squatting quietly but is treating an injured bird.
The servant who was with Hong Liya then turned to the direction that Hong Liya had pointed at and found a girl who happened to know a little about the girl.
" He is Lin Meiyin, the daughter of the noble Lin Quarter "
The maid answered Hong Liya's question.
Upon hearing the girl's name Hong Liya thought and recalled having heard of the girl.
Lin Meiyin was a young lady of the Lin family. However, despite that his standing within the Lin family was even inferior to servants.
It was all due to her birth coming from a servant woman who seduced the patriarch of the Lin family and conceived Lin Meiyin.
Yet everyone from the Lin family mansion knew the true truth. How perverted the patriarch of the Lin family back then the entire people from the Lin family mansion knew about it.
Yet they were not so foolish as to recklessly fight their patriarch for the sake of a female servant.
because in the world cultivators have strong laws that can rule while the weak can only submit.
And in order to obtain such power people need to cultivate. While Lin Meiyin was unable to do so, she also ended up being the moons of the people from the Lin family.
Not only did the news quickly spread out from the Lin family and made the people of the Zhiliang empire bully, ridicule, and insult Lin Meiyin.
However Lin Meiyin only returned their deeds with a smile like she always did when she felt hurt.
" Lin Meiyin "
Hong Liya muttered as he walked down from his carriage. The waiter who saw him tried to get down, helping him to get off the horse carriage.
" Hey young girl "
Sapa Hong Liya when she was near Lin Meiyin.
Hearing someone greeting him Lin Meiyin turned towards the person who greeted her. She was surprised to find out who greeted her.
" Hello your majesty "
He replied with a sweet smile returning the greeting from Hong Liya.
" What are you doing, hmmm ? "
Ask Hong Liya.
" I'm treating this little bird that's injured by an iron net trap that's wounding its wings "
Said Hong Liya while showing the small bird that had been in his hand earlier.
" You're so good, what if I help you "
Hong Liya offered her help to Lin Meiyin.
Hong Liya was known for his healing abilities because he besides a cultivator was also a reliable healer.
Lin Meiyin nodded her head and handed the little bird to Hong Liya.
Hong Liya then injected some of his energy into the little bird and at that moment the wounds on the wings of the little bird disappeared without leaving a trace.
Since then the two women of different ages become friends and peacock relationship the longer the better.
Hong Liya also realized that the young girl he always met had a strange attraction because of her nature if she knew him further.
The longer Hong Liya grew fond of Lin Meiyin and decided to marry her son Yan Long to Lin Meiyin.
The wedding was then held, but different from the wedding of Yan Long with Ning Quinshu.
The marriage between Yan Long and Lin Meiyin did not gain the support and enthusiasm of the Zhiliang imperial people.
Because they thought Lin Meiyin was not worthy of a match with Yan Long. Compared to Lin Meiyin's congratulations, it had gotten a lot of abuse.
Even so the marriage could not be stopped, Lin Meiyin and Yan Long had officially become husband and wife.
On the other hand, the patriarch of the Lin family back then or the father of Lin Meiyin became very happy because of the marriage.
And with no idea of his embarrassment he started treating Lin Meiyin better as well as the people from the Lin family.
However, there were also parties who utilized this marriage to attack the imperial family.
They were the Xiao family, taking advantage of the marriage that was not welcomed by the people.
They heated up the people of Zhiliang to make the people of the Zhiliang empire always make fun of Lin Meiyin when she ran away from the imperial palace.
However, as usual he just smiled back at the pain he was getting from those people.
...
Off Flashback.
" After that.., you must have known it "
Yan Tian ended the story.
" Having heard this story we hope you don't hate the Lin family, because even though only one still cares about your mother she is the patriarch of the Lin Family currently your uncle "
Yan Tian continued when he saw Yan Xing's grim-looking facial expression.
When he heard his grandfather mention his uncle, his mother's brother. A memory flashed, a memory of him and his uncle.
The current patriarch of the Lin family was Lin Meza the older brother of Lin Meiyin. As well as the first son of the patriarch of the Lin family before.
And he was the one who cared for Lin Meiyin within the Lin family mansion. When Lin Meza was near him no one would dare to make fun of Lin Meiyin.
Moreover, the relationship of Yan Xing and his uncle was also very close.
" The Xiao Family, right ? "
Yan Xing suddenly asked.
The sudden question from Yan Xing made Yan Tian and Hong Liya startled as well as confused.
" What is Xing'er planning ? "
Asked Hong Liya who felt strange with Yan Xing.
But Yan Xing did not reply and instead turned away leaving the two middle-aged in a confused state.
...
At night.
Above the imperial palace a man was standing while staring straight at the Xiao family mansion, he was Yan Xing.
" The Xiao Family "
Yan Xing muttered with a murderous look.
