Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1124 1125: Requesting Medicine

"If you want me to see you differently, at least prove it to me!"

Ye Qingcheng's mind once again echoed the words Xiao Tianyu said to her half a year ago. Although these words were a significant blow to her, they were also reasonable; Xiao Tianyu, at such a young age, was already a world-renowned figure capable of killing a Saint Emperor. She truly wasn't worthy of him.

Recalling that day, when Ye Qingcheng went to find Xiao Tianyu, she held a sliver of hope in her heart. It was precisely because of Xiao Tianyu's words that she realized this hope was merely her own delusion, nothing more.

Therefore, she didn't believe Xiao Tianyu would give up everything for her.

Moreover, given Xiao Tianyu's current status, what kind of woman couldn't he find? How could he care about her, who had hurt Xiao Tianyu in multiple ways?

"Stay put!" Haotian changed the subject before stepping out of the chamber. Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes fixed on Haotian's back, a line of tears slowly fell. She knew that this time she was likely to become someone else's sacrificial pawn.

If she could see clearly how Xiao Tianyu truly felt about her before she died, she would have no regrets.

...

Celestial Capital Imperial Palace.

At this moment, in the rear garden, the Celestial Emperor sat in the pavilion with a troubled expression. For the past six months, he hadn't had a moment of idle peace; on one hand investigating the international background of Tianyu, and on the other, searching for Xiao Tianyu's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, there had been no progress on either front over the past half-year.

Xiao Tianyu's mysterious disappearance already made him anxious, and the mysterious Tianyu International added to his uneasy premonitions.

During his time in the Holy Capital, Gu Fengliu, who arrived at the Holy Capital Imperial Palace, was an exceptional figure at the Immortal Emperor level, forcing him to be cautious, especially since he understood little of whether Tianyu International had only Gu Fengliu as an Emperor.

If it were just Gu Fengliu as an Emperor, he wouldn't be overly concerned. But what if other branches of Tianyu International were guarded by Emperors? In such a case, dealing with Xiao Tianyu would become even more challenging.

Of course, the Celestial Emperor estimated Xiao Tianyu's strength because anyone who could slay a Saint Emperor with a mere wave was a truly terrifying existence, surely above the Five Emperors of the Immortal Realm.

So to deal with Xiao Tianyu, he must make good use of his relationship with Xiao Tianyu.

"What's wrong?" the Empress across from him asked, "Are you still worried about Xiao Tianyu's disappearance?"

"It's not that, it's just that my greatest concern now is Tianyu International!" the Celestial Emperor sighed slightly, "As long as Tianyu International remains a mystery, I cannot rest easy!"

"Perhaps you're overthinking. Although Tianyu International has a strong background, it likely only supports one Emperor. Haven't the other three capitals, Demon Capital, Ming Capital, and Jiuxian Immortal Capital already reached an agreement?"

"They are no fools!" the Celestial Emperor sipped his tea and said, "By the way, where are Di Tian and Di Yun? I haven't seen them for quite some time!"

"They should be at Haotian Sect!" the Empress replied.

"Keep an eye on their whereabouts, best to limit their actions for now!"

"Why?"

"I don't want any mishaps!"

Upon hearing this, the Empress nodded, clearly understanding the Celestial Emperor's intention; it was obvious he feared his two sons might ruin his major plans, even though they were still in the dark for now, but one never knows.

"Celestial Emperor, the War Venerable is waiting outside!" a eunuch entered the pavilion, and the Celestial Emperor waved his hand, "Let him in!"

"Yes!" The eunuch withdrew.

Moments later, the War Venerable stepped into the rear garden pavilion, saluting the Celestial Emperor and the Empress.

The Celestial Emperor spoke, "What's the matter?"

"He has returned!"

Swoosh~

At these words, the Celestial Emperor abruptly stood, asking, "Where?"

"Haotian Sect!" the War Venerable replied.

The "he" referred to was naturally none other than Xiao Tianyu.

The Celestial Emperor asked, "On this trip, did he mention where he went? Is he staying with Tianyu International?"

Hearing this, the War Venerable shook his head, "Unknown, but it's rumored he went somewhere 'up above'!"

"Up above?"

The Celestial Emperor paused, somewhat perplexed; wasn't the Immortal Realm considered "up above" from the Mortal Realm's perspective? Yet, what did Xiao Tianyu mean by "up above"? Could he have never left the Immortal Realm?

The Celestial Emperor was quite puzzled; could he have gone to Earth?

The Celestial Emperor knew well that on the distant Earth were some of Xiao Tianyu's relatives, but the Celestial Emperor dared not go to Earth to investigate, because there was a person sitting in power there. Even if the Celestial Emperor mobilized the entire nation's strength, it wouldn't be enough to match that person's spit.

However, not surprisingly, when the Five Emperors went to Earth to confront Xiao Tianyu, that person's power is still vividly remembered by the Celestial Emperor; that person is rumored to be the Celestial Lord, who would dare offend him?

With him sitting on Earth, the vast universe could be said to be inaccessible to Earth.

Thereafter, the Celestial Emperor waved his hand, "Go!"

"Yes!"

"Come back!" the Celestial Emperor added.

"Celestial Emperor, any other orders?"

"Where is the Medicine Saint currently?" the Celestial Emperor asked.

"Should be in Medicine Valley!"

"Join me in visiting him!" the Celestial Emperor said casually.

Visit?

Upon hearing this, the War Venerable was momentarily stunned, then asked, "The Medicine Saint is merely a medicine man, what qualifies him for a personal visit by the Celestial Emperor? A decree would suffice!"

"There are some things you don't understand!" the Celestial Emperor replied.

Then, the Celestial Emperor left the Imperial Palace with the War Venerable, and even prepared substantial gifts. Although the War Venerable felt deeply puzzled, he didn't dare ask more and simply followed along as the Celestial Emperor proceeded.

...

Medicine Valley.

Medicine Valley is located in the southern mountains of Celestial Capital, nestled in the center of the vast mountain range, where it's spring all year round, colorful flowers in full bloom, a sight to behold.

Moreover, from a thousand miles away, one can smell the fragrance of the flowers.

These flowers and plants were cultivated by the Medicine Saint, among which are the extremely rare Five-leaf Smoke Chrysanthemum. Although beautiful, the chrysanthemum is highly toxic, known as the king of poisons.

Each Five-leaf Smoke Chrysanthemum blooms only once every hundred years, with only five petals each time.

Soon, two figures arrived in the air, their aura restrained.

"Who dares trespass into Medicine Valley!" a flower-gathering Medicine Boy said towards the sky, his expression rather unsettled. The War Venerable stepped forward, snorted coldly, "Insolent, do you know who this is?"

"Old War!" the Celestial Emperor gestured, the War Venerable stepped back, and the Celestial Emperor addressed the Medicine Boy, "May I ask if the Medicine Saint is here?"

"What business do you have with my master?" The Medicine Boy, seeing the Celestial Emperor's face calm as spring warmth, had a favorable impression and the Celestial Emperor smiled, "So, the Medicine Saint is in the valley?"

"Yuan'Er, who visits?" A voice came from a distant cottage, soon, an old man with white hair stepped forward, dressed in white, exuding a strong aura of medicine.

The Medicine Boy replied, "Master, it's them, they wish to see you!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the Medicine Saint gazed at the visitors, seeing the Celestial Emperor's extraordinary demeanor, and calmly said, "Distinguished guest, what brings you to my Medicine Valley? My valley does not entertain outsiders, surely you know this."

"This is the Celestial Emperor!" the War Venerable declared.

Celestial Emperor?

Upon hearing this, the Medicine Saint's expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting that the humble Medicine Valley would bring the Celestial Emperor here in person.
