Chapter 320: Four Princes of Yunjing

After crossing paths with the Floating Cloud young master this morning, Yan Wugui was extremely curious about him.

“What is the Floating Cloud young master’s name?”

“The Floating Cloud young master,” he said. “He only became well-known after he married into the Nie Family, and no one knows his name or where he is from. But since the Nie Family addresses him as the Floating Cloud young master, others do the same.”

Speaking about this, he sighed and sulked in jealousy. “The Nie Family’s eldest miss really treats him well! She dotes on him the most, even more than the family’s other young masters, and gives him whatever he wants! She even did all she could just to gain fame for him. The Fourth Prince of Yunjing is a title that Nie Family gave. But because he does have the ability, everyone agreed to it.”

Yan Wugui rolled his eyes. “But I heard the other day that the Floating Cloud young master is an alien.”

The other party sneered and looked at Yan Wugui in disdain. “Are you an idiot? It’s obviously bullcrap. Let’s not talk about aristocratic families or strong powers, why would an ordinary family marry an alien? It would create a huge problem for them if the next generation is born without a seal!”

The person who was perhaps the one who mentioned this info earlier appeared and said, “So what if he has a seal? Seals can be drawn on and faked in other ways too.”

The other rolled his eyes. “Are you kidding me? We might be fakes, but he’s the Nie Family’s son-in-law! They have several Freezing Spirit Realm elders.”

“But there must a reason why there is such a rumor! Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”

“Who knows if it’s just because somebody was jealous of him? That isn’t uncommon.” The other party sighed. “It’s because of his special body constitution. His seal is faint normally, so it isn’t obvious. It can only be seen when he excites his soul energy. Maybe that’s where the rumors came from.”

Many knew about the Floating Cloud young master, but this piece of information was new. Many heads turned around immediately and stared at him in shock. “Is that true?”

“Of course.” The man looked joyfully satisfied. “I have stayed in Yunjing for such a long time, how would I not know? His seal is special, so people always think that he’s an alien. But as soon as he excites his soul energy, his seal becomes as red as blood! That isn’t possible if his seal is fake.”

“So that’s it! No wonder. The Nie Family, such a big family, marrying their precious daughter to an alien?”

“Indeed....”

The group of people started chatting happily, leaving only after they finished their registration.

The procedure was very simple and relaxed. They didn’t even do a thorough check, so Lu Mingshu and Yan Wugui got through with the Ji Family’s siblings’ seals and registered easily.

After another ten days, the Sea of Cloud’s debate finally started.

The Supreme Sacred Imperial Palace was opened up on this day, and thousands went past it to the Sea of Clouds.

Furthermore, this debate would be broadcasted live in Yunjing, with a huge number of people watching. If one could come out as the champion, he or she would really be famous in a night.

Lu Mingshu and Yan Wugui squeezed in with the thousands of people and got to the Sea of Clouds by the mass teleporting spell formation set up in the Sacred Imperial Palace.

“This item is awesome!” Yan Wugui lamented, “But it seems complicated.”

Teleporting formations existed in every world. They were nothing rare. But they were complicated, so no magicians in Lu Mingshu’s world were able to produce one.

“Do you think we will be safe? With these fake seals, I don’t think it’s reliable,” Lu Mingshu grabbed Yan Wugui’s sleeve and whispered worriedly.

The Sea of Cloud’s debate was a grand occasion. It may have been relaxed when they registered, but what about the debate itself? There would surely be Freezing Spirit Realm cultivators present. What if...?

“Then we’ll just run.” Yan Wugui shrugged.

“Do you think we would be able to do so at that point?” Lu Mingshu side-eyed him.

“Then what do you think we should do? Let this chance go?” Yan Wugui raised his eyebrows.

“....” After a while of thinking, she sighed and said, “Let’s think about it later. ”

Yan Wugui laughed. “How many times have I told you that kids should not think too much or you’ll die early?”

Lu Mingshu coldly said, “I would be dead if I didn’t think so much.”

“...” Yan Wugui sighed. “A kid who’s not adorable at all. You were like a stone when you were young. Now you have turned into an ugly stone.”

“Oh...?” Lu Mingshu gave him a cold sneer.

The Sea of Clouds wasn’t a sea, but a lake.

The lake was surrounded by mountains, and if one could break through and get to the lake, one would be considered in the third rank. If one could pass the lake and get to the lake’s heart island, they would be in the second rank. Lastly, getting to the Sea of Clouds proper by the teleportation formation on the island would be the first rank – in the top three.

“Look! The four princes!”

Hearing somebody’s gasp, Lu Mingshu and Yan Wugui turned around to take a look.

On the hillside, there stood two young men. They were about twenty-six years old, one in blue and one in white. The one in blue had a pretty face and a sharp jaw, outstanding and elegant. The man in white was not as good looking, but he was bulky and had a strong aura, showing that he was stronger than the man blue.

“The one in blue is Prince Chu. Back then, he had the nickname of the prettiest young master! Many aristocratic families’ misses dreamt of marrying him.”

“There’s no need for men to look that pretty. Prince Qin is what a man should be like! Bulky and unordinary bearing.”

“Pretty is for Prince Jiang, no? Even a woman can’t compare to his appearance.”

The others present burst out in laughter.

Among the laughter, somebody snapped. “What’s so funny? Is Young Master Jiang someone you can mock? What would happen if the Jiang Family hears it? You wouldn’t even know how you died!”

Everyone present immediately shut up hearing that. It was no harder than killing ants for such a big family like the Jiang Family to kill them all.

As they were talking, Lu Mingshu saw someone go up the hillside and bow to Prince Qin and Prince Chu.

It was a young guy with dusky pink lips and a beautiful appearance.

“That’s Prince Jiang? He... deserves the title of prettiest prince more than Prince Chu!” Somebody gasped in awe.

Yan Wugui realized that Lu Mingshu had a weird expression. “What is it?”

Lu Mingshu didn’t take her eyes off Prince Jiang. “Perhaps... it’s just my eyes playing tricks on me.”

“What is it? Do you know him?”

Lu Mingshu glanced at her surroundings. Seeing that everyone had their eyes on the prince, she leaned in and whispered, “This Prince Jiang is a girl!”

“Huh?” Yan Wugui stared at her blankly. “He’s pretty, I would say, but he doesn’t act like a girl.”

Lu Mingshu looked over and whispered, “She tried her best, but yeah.”
