Chapter 35: The moment that decides fate has come!
"His Highness, the Tenth Prince!"
"We have arrived at the Capital!"
Outside the carriage, Sergeant Xuan Kai respectfully reminded him.
"Mm!"
"Go in!"
Ning Ye nodded, thinking that he had finally reached this point.
"Yes!"
Xuan Kai nodded upon hearing this. He first sent the Three Thousand Divine Strategy Iron Cavalry back to the Divine Strategy Camp stationed outside the Capital, and then, with only a dozen Divine Strategy Iron Cavalry soldiers protecting Ning Ye's carriage, slowly drove into the magnificent ancient city before them—the Capital!
Rumble!!!
The city gates of the Capital opened.
As Ning Ye officially stepped into the Capital, it immediately caused a stir.
Countless cultivators and commoners of the Capital stood on both sides of the long street, curiously observing the carriage. They were very curious about what the Tenth Prince, His Highness, who was now famous throughout the continent, actually looked like. Was he as stunning and dazzling as the legends claimed?
After all, Ning Ye would soon be the Son-in-Law of the Divine Strategy Military Prefecture, and the Second Miss Jun of the Divine Strategy Military Prefecture was a more revered existence in the hearts of the Capital's commoners than even an Empire princess. If Ning Ye did not live up to his reputation, they certainly would not give him a good reception!
"Daddy, why are all these people looking at us?"
Su Su looked through the curtain at the eager and curious Capital commoners and cultivators and couldn't help but ask.
"Because they all like Su Su!"
Ning Ye gently ruffled Su Su's soft hair and replied softly.
"Is that so?"
Su Su stared at Ning Ye without blinking, then whispered, "But... they don't even know me!"
"Why would they like me?"
"Haha!"
Ning Ye smiled and said meaningfully, "It doesn't matter!"
"Because in the near future, they will soon get to know us!"
"Mm!"
Su Su nodded heavily. Although she didn't know what Ning Ye meant, she had never doubted his words.
It is worth mentioning that as Ning Ye's carriage traveled along the long streets of the Capital, various forces, a mixed bag of dragons and fish, within the Capital all received this news. From this moment on, the Capital, which had been as calm as a tranquil lake, began to stir with hidden currents!
...
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a magnificent mansion. A large character for [Jun] on it once again tensed Ning Ye's nerves.
"His Highness, the Tenth Prince!"
"We've arrived!"
Xuan Kai reminded him softly.
"Good!"
Ning Ye nodded. He took the bewildered Su Su's hand and stepped down from the carriage.
At this moment, he saw a woman with a fiery figure, dressed in a tight outfit, standing with her hands behind her back in front of the mansion. This woman was none other than the handsome "young man" Qianye from Tianmen Pass!
"Indeed!"
"She returned to the Capital early!"
Ning Ye raised an eyebrow.
"We meet again!"
"His Highness, the Tenth Prince!"
Qianye smiled slightly at Ning Ye.
"Yes!"
"We meet again!"
Ning Ye also smiled.
"Let's go!"
"Into the mansion!"
Qianye said no more, directly turned around, and led Ning Ye and Su Su into the Jun Family mansion.
As soon as they stepped into the mansion, a refreshing scent of peach blossoms wafted into their nostrils.
"Daddy!"
"It smells so good!"
Su Su, smelling the intoxicating peach blossom scent, couldn't help but excitedly shake Ning Ye's arm.
"Mm!"
"It smells very good!"
Ning Ye nodded. He knew that Jun Qianyue's favorite flower was the peach blossom, so it was normal for the Jun Family mansion to have a peach blossom forest.
"Da... Daddy?"
Qianye, very sensitive, caught these two words and couldn't help but glance at Su Su, who was wearing a bamboo hat. However, she quickly withdrew her gaze because she knew that this young girl was the one Ning Ye had risked offending the Evil Sect to rescue from the Myriad Evil Mansion, and this young girl couldn't possibly be Ning Ye's daughter... But the question arose: why did the young girl call Ning Ye 'Daddy'? And what was the young girl's true identity?
Just as her thoughts raced, but she couldn't figure it out...
She had already led Ning Ye and Su Su into a magnificent palace.
This palace was named Mingyue Palace and was the Jun Family's palace for entertaining important guests.
Entering the palace, Ning Ye found that the banquet had already been prepared, clearly timed by the Jun Family. However, he didn't see the person he wanted to see here, while Su Su, looking at the table laden with delicacies, couldn't help but swallow.
This small detail was also noticed by Qianye, who couldn't help but curl her lips into a slight smile and said, "Son-in-Law, no need to be polite!"
Hearing this, Su Su looked up at Ning Ye with anticipation and whispered, "Daddy, I'm hungry!"
"Go ahead!"
Ning Ye smiled and nodded.
Upon hearing this, Su Su joyfully removed her bamboo hat, revealing her true face.
Silver hair! Red eyes! A beauty so exquisite it was enchanting!
Qianye was somewhat stunned the moment she saw Su Su!
She had never imagined that the young girl beside Ning Ye could be so beautiful!
Most importantly, when she looked at the young girl, she felt a suffocating, weightless sensation as if her soul was freezing!
"Satisfied now?"
Ning Ye saw Qianye standing there in a daze and asked indifferently.
Actually, from the moment he got out of the carriage, he had noticed that Qianye had been paying attention to Su Su. Clearly, the first order Jun Qianyue had given Qianye was to figure out Su Su's identity. However, he wasn't worried about Su Su's Ghost Spirit Royal Clan identity being exposed, because in terms of appearance, the Ghost Spirit Royal Clan's features only became obvious when their bloodline matured; for example, their crimson eyes would turn a light golden color!
Therefore, as long as Su Su didn't make a move at this time, everything would be fine!
"Haha!"
Qianye smiled and didn't say much, only stating, "Your Highness, please eat!"
"What about her?"
Ning Ye looked at Qianye with a serious expression.
"No rush!"
Qianye shook her head and replied with a smile, "Young Miss will see you very soon!"
Hearing this, Ning Ye said no more. He just walked to the dining table, served a bowl of abalone and reishi mushroom porridge to replenish Qi and blood, and began to feed Su Su.
After sleeping for ten thousand years in the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice, dietary supplements were a crucial part of restoring normal bloodline circulation.
"Su Su, open your mouth!"
Ning Ye picked up the spoon and brought it to Su Su's mouth.
"Ah!"
Su Su obediently opened her small mouth and contentedly ate the abalone and reishi mushroom porridge Ning Ye fed her. As the exquisite deliciousness melted in her mouth, the Qi and blood in her body gradually warmed up, and the little girl's eyes happily curved into beautiful crescents.
"Is it delicious?"
Ning Ye asked with a smile.
"Delicious!"
Su Su nodded heavily, then asked, "Oh? Daddy, why aren't you eating?"
"Haha!"
Ning Ye smiled, shook his head, and replied, "Daddy isn't hungry!"
Seeing this scene...
Qianye didn't know what to say. She just felt that Ning Ye really seemed to be raising this silver-haired young girl as his daughter!
And just then, the sound transmission jade at her waist suddenly lit up. Seeing this, Qianye nodded at Ning Ye and said with a solemn expression:
"His Highness, the Tenth Prince!"
"Come with me!"
"Young Miss... she is waiting for you at Divine Strategy Tower!"
Hoo!
Ning Ye took a deep breath upon hearing this and muttered to himself with a solemn expression.
"This moment... has finally arrived!"
