C10

In the Scorching Sun Ancient World.

When Cang Yun walked out of the teleportation circle, he could hear the deafening noise coming from the surroundings.

This Scorching Sun World was the large ancient world controlled by the Uncle Zhou family that Cang Yun was going to visit this time. It was ranked 50th on the Qing Zhou Realm's rankings, which was much more prosperous compared to the 80th place.

On the street, Cang Yun paused for a bit, and only until his surroundings matched up to the memories in his mind and a familiar feeling rose up from within him, did he finally move, walking forward at a steady pace.

Not long after, a huge mansion appeared before his eyes, Cang Yun raised his head slightly, and looked at the sign that had the words' Zhou Mansion 'written in large, bold and ancient characters, his mouth revealing a smile, he slowly walked forward and said to the guard:

"Please allow me to inform you that azure world Cang Yun is here to pay you a visit."

azure world?

"Please wait a moment." A few guards looked at Cang Yun at the same time, and one of the guards nodded, then rushed into the residence.

After a while, the guard ran back again. He bowed towards Cang Yun and said: "Young Noble Cang Yun, please come in. However, Patriarch and the rest are currently holding a meeting, so the Patriarch has ordered me to bring you in to the hall to wait."

"A family meeting?" Hearing that, Cang Yun raised his eyebrows, then nodded his head and followed the guard into the Zhou Mansion.

But just as he walked a few steps, the guard who led the way suddenly stopped, and upon seeing this, Cang Yun curiously looked towards the direction of the guard's gaze, only to realise that, from the direction of the peach leaves, a gentle and graceful figure was walking over.

As his clothes fluttered, he gave off a feeling of familiarity. This made Cang Yun's heart jump, and he immediately stood in place.

After a moment, the slim figure finally passed through the cover and looked over. When Cang Yun and her eyes met, the figure suddenly stopped, stared at each other, and quietly stared for a while.

"Big Brother Cang Yun?"

A bit of a choked voice came out from the courtyard as Cang Yun looked at the young girl dressed in the purple dress in front of him.

The young lady wore a purple dress and her hair was casually tied up, which just happened to fall down to her delicate waist. The gentle breeze blew past and made her look ethereal.

However, Cang Yun could vaguely feel a hint of familiarity within that face of Qingcheng, which slowly raised a gentle smile on his face.

"Xian'Er, long time no see!"

Hearing this, the young girl quickly walked over. On her face, a pair of bright eyes were slightly red, then she said with a slightly aggrieved tone: "Big Brother Cang Yun hasn't replied to me in the past two years. I thought you had forgotten about Xian'er!"

The familiar title, was like a heavy hammer striking at the soft spot in Cang Yun's heart. The beautiful memories also flooded out from his mind like floodwaters.

"How could that be? You know my situation for the past two years, so you didn't reply to my letter. I just don't want you to worry. Besides, didn't I come to see you now?" Cang Yun smiled apologetically as he explained.

In the next moment, seeing the smile on Xian'er's face, Cang Yun was a little absent-minded. He couldn't help but scratch his nose lightly and muttered, "The little girl from before, has now become a great beauty."

"Is that so? "Hee hee." Xian`er slightly raised her head, revealing a faint blush on her fair and charming face.

He had been a servant of the Zhou Mansion for a long time, but he had never seen a young girl reveal such a delicate appearance towards a man. Especially in these two years, when the news of the young girl's beauty and talent had spread, there were many who came seeking after her name, and the majority of them were the famous young talents of the Qing Zhou, the majority of which were Heaven's Pride disciples. However, the young lady had an extremely cold expression, as if she was a snow lotus on an ice mountain.

And now, this snow lotus had bloomed for the sake of this young man who did not seem to have any reputation, which caused the guards to be extremely shocked. After the surprise, he immediately realized something and quietly retreated with his body bent forward, knowing that the beautiful scenery in front of him was not something they could enjoy.

"I heard that Uncle Zhou and the others are holding a family meeting. What? Did something happen?" The two of them walked side by side, causing Cang Yun to turn his head and ask curiously. According to his knowledge, the family meetings would always be held when there were major events.

"Hmph, it's still that bunch of smelly fellows from fire boundary." Zhou Xian'er snorted, she was fuming, and as she spoke, her eyes flashed with anger and grievance.

fire boundary?

Cang Yun raised his eyebrows. This name was like a thunderclap that echoed throughout the entire Qing Zhou, because this fire boundary was ranked eighth on the World Ranking List, an extremely terrifying existence with an extremely terrifying background and strength. However, what puzzled Cang Yun was that he had never heard of any interaction between the Sun Realm and the fire boundary.

After he slightly pondered for a while, when Cang Yun saw the worried expression on the beautiful face beside him, he finally understood a little, and softly asked: "Is it related to you?"

"Mn, that whatever Young Lord from fire boundary has come to propose marriage, he wants me to betroth him as my concubine." Zhou Xian'er lowered her head slightly, a layer of mist faintly appearing in her eyes and her voice was filled with grievance and dissatisfaction.

Become a concubine?

Hearing this, Cang Yun squinted his eyes, a cold light flashed across his pitch-black pupils. This fire boundary was simply too arrogant, she actually wanted to have the precious daughter of the master of the Flaming Sun Realm be his concubine. It was simply relying on power to bully others, not to mention from Xian'er's expression, she didn't even agree to this marriage.

In the next moment, Cang Yun lightly patted Xian'er's shoulder as a consolation, and asked: "Uncle Zhou shouldn't agree to such an overbearing request, right?"

In Cang Yun's memory, Xian'er's father was an extremely good person, especially towards Xian'er. He loved her dearly, and it was unlikely for him to do such a thing.

"Of course father will not agree, but the other uncles are afraid that if they were to reject it, they would anger the fire boundary, so..." Zhou Xian'er's voice was filled with grievance and helplessness. A young girl at her age could only dream about love and marriage, but living in a large family, something like this was not something she could decide on her own.

Cang Yun nodded, and immediately understood the situation. Looking at the young lady who was on the verge of tears, he consoled her softly, "Don't be so sad, didn't Uncle Zhou and the others still not agree?"

"But Big Brother Cang Yun, I really don't want to marry that fire boundary." Zhou Xian'er raised her head, her beautiful face had a helpless look of begging.

This caused Cang Yun's heart to hurt, and long, deep memories of that time surfaced in his mind. In his childhood, this kind of scene had appeared many times, and in the memory, whenever the girl was helpless, he would go and cry to the boy, and the boy would always drag the girl out of her helplessness without exception.

Gradually, therefore, the girl sees the boy as a faith, and the boy as a duty.

Originally, he thought that everything had changed a long time ago, but now that he was facing such a scene again, Cang Yun realized that the feeling was still as deep as ever.

Looking at the pitiful and delicate person in front of him, Cang Yun, as per child's habit, gently rubbed her head that was covered with black hair.

"Don't worry, there's still me!"
