Chapter 135 Sun Moon Palace Grand Elder Chu Linfeng
At this moment, the Sun and Moon Palace resembled a mysterious palace suspended above the clouds, enveloped in a faint layer of moonlight and sunlight. From afar, the palace seemed to be built of countless dazzling gems, shining with a dazzling light.
The palace gate was tall and majestic, intricately carved with designs depicting the sun, moon, stars, birds, beasts, and ancient runes. In front of the gate stood two colossal statues, one holding a sun sword and the other a moon bow, solemnly guarding the palace.
Entering the palace, the first thing that catches your eye is a broad bluestone avenue lined with exotic flowers and plants, emitting bursts of enchanting fragrance. At the end of the avenue is a vast square, in the center of which stands a crystal-clear fountain, whose water gushes upwards in beautiful streams.
Ascending the steps along the edge of the square, one can see a series of palaces arranged in a patchwork pattern. Some are magnificent, others elegant and simple, each displaying its own unique style and charm. The palaces are connected by corridors, and the columns are also covered with exquisite reliefs and murals, telling touching stories.
Chu Linfeng, the Grand Elder of the Sun and Moon Palace, stood quietly atop the towering, precipitous Worry-Free Cliff. His deep, wise gaze pierced through the dense mist, gazing distantly at the bustling capital. A gentle breeze ruffled his snow-white robes and flowing, silky hair, as if whispering a tale of the vicissitudes of time.
Chu Linfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of emotion and a sigh in his eyes. This capital city carries the dreams and hopes of countless people, and has also witnessed countless joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and power struggles. It is like a huge stage, where various characters take turns to appear, performing their own wonderful or tragic life stories.
At this time, the capital's streets and alleys are bustling with traffic, the imperial palace is magnificent and majestic, and the market is noisy and full of life. However, behind this seemingly bustling and prosperous scene, how many unknown secrets and conspiracies are hidden?
Chu Linfeng couldn't help but think back to the ups and downs he'd experienced in the capital. Memories flooded back like a tide. There were laughter, tears, the high spirits of success, and the sadness after failure... But no matter what, these had become a part of his life, deeply engraved in his memory.
Now, standing on Wuyou Cliff, far from the hustle and bustle of the world, Chu Linfeng felt an unprecedented sense of peace and liberation. He knew that everything in the world was destined, and success and failure were all in vain. Only by maintaining a calm and detached heart could one find a peaceful place in this complex world.
Yet, no matter how time passed, his deep concern for the Palace Master remained unshaken. Though the Palace Master had been away training for five years, in his eyes, she was still just an innocent young girl who had just entered the martial arts world. The complex, ever-changing, and perilous world of the martial arts world presented a plethora of unknown dangers and trials for such a young woman. The thought of this involuntarily tightened his heart, as if gnawing at it with a thousand ants.
On this moonlit night, utterly silent, the Regent's Palace on the other side of the city was ablaze with lights. Regent Princess Xing Xuanli methodically directed the numerous servants to their tasks. Her beautiful and majestic features were particularly captivating in the candlelight.
Xing Xuanli opened her red lips slightly, her voice clear and pleasant, "Hurry up and clean the two rooms in the west wing, make the beds, and prepare all the necessary toiletries. Make sure Master Lin and Master Yu are comfortable and at ease."
After receiving the order, the well-trained servants immediately took action. Some took brooms to carefully sweep the floor, raising clouds of dust; others carried brand new bedding, gently spread it on the bed, and carefully smoothed out every wrinkle; and others carried basins of water and towels and hurried to the rooms to prepare them for the guests.
In a short while, the two rooms in the west wing were neatly arranged. The windows were clean, the beds were soft and comfortable, and the tables were decorated with flowers and fruit, filling the room with a light fragrance. Everything was ready, waiting only for Lin Luochuan and Yu Yixuan to move in.
Lin Luochuan smiled and said to Xing Xuanli in a gentle tone, "There's no need to be so polite, Third Sister-in-law." He waved his hand gently, his eyes filled with kindness. "My second brother and I will stay at Wangyue Tower for one night."
Yu Yixuan nodded repeatedly and echoed, "Yes, Third Sister-in-law! We won't bother you two anymore." A gentle smile appeared on his face, and understanding was in his eyes.
Hearing this, Xing Xuanli smiled gently, a smile as beautiful as a blooming spring flower. Her eyes curved into crescents, and her voice was soft and pleasant. She responded softly, "Big Brother, Second Brother, please stay in the mansion tonight and don't refuse anymore."
Yu Yixuan and Lin Luochuan looked at Yun Mohan at the same time, with a questioning look in their eyes, as if waiting for his statement. Yun Mohan felt their gazes and knew in his heart that his elder and second brothers did not want to cause them trouble.
Yun Mohan frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure on his face, and said in a firm tone, "Brother, you've come all this way. If the world knew that you were staying at a restaurant, and your eyes revealed a hint of majesty, wouldn't the world laugh at me, the dignified Regent, for letting my sworn brother stay at a restaurant in the middle of the night?"
His words were filled with the importance he attached to brotherhood and the preservation of his own reputation. He stood up, walked over to Lin Luochuan and Yu Yixuan, and looked at them sincerely. "In my heart, you are my closest brothers. This is your home. How can I let my family live outside?"
Lin Luochuan and Yu Yixuan felt Yun Mohan's sincerity, and a warm feeling welled up in their hearts. Lin Luochuan smiled and patted Yun Mohan on the shoulder: "Third brother, we appreciate your kindness, but we don't want to cause you any trouble."
Yu Yixuan also nodded and agreed: "Yes, we know that you are busy with your affairs at home and don't want to disturb you too much."
Yun Mohan shook his head upon hearing this and said seriously, "Big Brother, Second Brother, what are you talking about? There's no such thing as trouble between brothers." He held their hands and said sincerely, "Just stay here tonight and let the three of us brothers have a good time together."
Xing Xuanli watched the brothers' friendship from the side, feeling quite moved. She stepped forward and said with a smile, "Yes, eldest and second brothers, just listen to Han. I've already had the rooms ready, so you can rest assured and stay here."
Lin Luochuan and Yu Yixuan looked at each other and finally nodded. Lin Luochuan said with emotion, "Then we will respectfully obey your orders.
