Chapter 224: Secret of Lin Xun’s Origin

Translator: Flying Lines

On the white-bone throne, the figure was vague, but its omnipresent momentum made it a queen in the dark.

“Who is he?”

Her voice was low and magnetic, with the mysterious charm as quiet night.

Quickly, the figure turned into a woman, and her hair was high coiled with a black hollowed wooden phoenix hairpin. She looked very young with white and delicate skin. While her azure pupils were full of indifference, which belonged to the superior.

The well-fitting black gown outlined her slender figure vividly. A black gem ring on her slender white right little finger looked like a staring pupil, whose color was as black as night.

Queen of the Dark Night!

A woman, who was classical, elegant, dignified and beautiful, radiated a kind of quiet dark temperament all over her body.

The darkness could swallow up souls and destroyed everything!

But in the eyes of the old man, there was nothing but a graceful figure from the darkness!

“He isn’t from the Feiyun Village.”

The old man lowered his head slightly and his voice was gentle and calm, “I explored the Purple-abyss Mine Prison, which was abandoned by the Founding Emperor in person. Three months before Lin entered the Feiyun Village, the Mine Prison was completely destroyed overnight, leaving no trace.”

On the white-bone throne, Queen of the Dark Night fell silent for a long time before she said, “You mean, he is the child in that event?”

The old man shook his head and continued, “I’m not sure. I have searched all the ways from Purple-abyss Mine Prison to Feiyun Village. What puzzles me is that it should take him at least one year to enter the Feiyun Village since Lin was just on the second level of Martial Realm at that time. But the time he appeared in Feiyun Village was three months later.”

The voice of Queen of the Dark Night was cold and low, “This is not strange. Lu Boya could arrange a spiritual formation for transfer and send Lin out of the Mine Prison in an instant.”

The old man’s eyes narrowed and he seemed surprised, “Didn’t Lu Boya die?” Queen of the Dark Night answered, “To tell you the truth, one year ago, the reason why I insisted on going to Three-thousand Mountains was that I wanted to visit Lu Boya.”

The name of Lu Boya destroyed the old man’s inner peace and he fell in a trance with a complicated expression on the original benevolent and gentle face.

After a long time, the old man sighed with emotion, “No wonder Lin has remarkable attainments in spiritual tattoos. Since I received the news from Shue Jin, I has been wondering who he actually learned all this from; it turns out that Lin learnt the spiritual tattoos from Lu Boya…” He came to understand it suddenly.

There was a touch of shock and doubt on his face. He could not imagine why Lu Boya, who had been proved dead long ago, could still survive!

“The death of Lu Boyao was always a mystery, but I know that both the upper class of the Empire and the old guy on the observatory were cheated by Lu Boya.”

There was a slight fluctuation in her voice, which indicated her unquiet emotion, “But now, Lu Boya might be really dead.”

Her voice had a trace of unwillingness and regret for Lu Boya’s death.

The old man also fell into silence. Even Purple-abyss Mine Prison, which was built by the Founding Emperor himself, had been destroyed. How could Lu Boya survive?

“So, Lu Boya hid in the Mine Prison with the child who should have died in that event. But he didn’t expect that a misfortune suddenly came and eventually destroyed his life.”

The old man sighed with complex emotion in his eyes as if he was recalling the past.

The voice of the Queen had returned to the usual indifference, “I am curious at present whether the murderer who destroyed Purple-abyss Mine Prison target Lu Boya or Lin Xun?”

The old man’s eyes suddenly narrowed. This was a key problem. If he wanted to kill Lu Boya, it proved that the murderer didn’t know Lin Xun’s identity. If he aimed at Lin Xun, he might not know Lu Boya, who was proved dead in those days, was also a person full of mystery.

Of course, there was a possibility that the killer wanted to kill Lu Boya and Lin at the same time!

“Only Lu Boya knew the event clearly, otherwise Lin Xun could not survive at all. Unfortunately, it would be difficult to reveal the reality of that mystery with his death.”

The Queen sighed.

The old man thought for a moment and said, “Miss, not to mention the past; as we recognize Lin Xun’s origin, whether…”

Before finishing the words, he was interrupted by the Queen, “Put it aside!”

The old man was confused, “Put it aside?”

The Queen said indifferently, “Only Lu Boya knew the reason of that incident. Since he is unwilling to tell Lin the reason, we don’t need to tell Lin either. Lin will be entitled to know all this unless he has enough power to change my mind someday.”

The old man nodded.

At this point, slight footsteps arose in the depth of the castle.

“That’s all for now.”

On the white-bone throne, the figure of the Queen gradually disappeared into darkness.

The old man bowed in standard etiquette. He turned around and left the castle, which was completely covered by darkness.

Just as they all disappeared, a little girl in a black wind coat showed up with her face hidden under the brim of her hat.

The darkness in the castle seemed unable to stop her sight. She came to the empty white-bone throne. “There’s no use avoiding me; you may hide your conversation from others but can’t hide it from the darkness; I just come from the darkness…”

The little girl stood there quietly, murmuring in her heart.

“Dear sister Shia Zhi…”

Accompanied by a clear voice, a bright purple light cut through the darkness, rushing over from the distance.

It was a thirteen-year-old boy dressed in snow white. He had red lips, white teeth, and a pair of bright eyes. Especially, there was an innate purple lotus between his eyebrows, which distinguished him from the common.

Although he was only a teenager, he was shrouded in purple holy light, with a momentum of transcendence and detachment from the world.

When the teenager saw Shia Zhi standing in the darkness, his eyes became brighter. He smiled and said, “Sister Shia Zhi, why do you come here? Aren’t you afraid the scolding from Her Majesty of Dark Night?”

He tried to cotton up to Shia Zhi.

However, Shia Zhi ignored him and turned away.

The teenager was not annoyed by Shia Zhi’s attitude. He followed her and looked at Shia Zhi eagerly, “Sister Shia Zhi, I got a promise from my father that he will make a proposal to Her Majesty of Dark Night to marry you to me when I break through into the Tao Insight Realm.”

Shia Zhi was silent all the way as if the teenager didn’t exist.

The teenager seemed to know the character of Shia Zhi very well, he smiled instead of getting angry, “By virtue of the talent property Purple Lotus in Golden Sea in my blood, I am absolutely confident that I will reach Tao Insight Realm at the age of fifteen. That is to say, we can be together in three years! ”

The teenager said with his eyes full of longing and excitement.

Shia Zhi could no longer keep silence. She suddenly stopped and said, “Whom I want to be with is none of other’s business.”

She continued to move forward, and her delicate figure seemed lonely and graceful in the darkness.

The teenager could not keep calm at this moment, and finally he said with anger, “Shia Zhi, in this world, no one can match up to you but me, Chi Cangfei? Throughout the empire, who can compare with me in terms of talent, origin, cultivation…”

Shia Zhi still ignored him and kept walking. It was not long before she came to a bronze door in the deepest part of the castle.

When she raised her hand and was about to open the door, Chi Cangfei rushed over to get in the way. He took a deep breath and resolutely said, “Sister Shia Zhi, I just want to tell you that you belong to me and no one in the world can take you away from me!”

Bang!

Shia Zhi raised her head suddenly. Without any other movement, Chi Cangfeng was hit hard and flew out more than 30 meters away uncontrollably.

Shia Zhi still didn’t have a look at him, but pushed the door open and walked in. The bronze door closed quietly after she entered.

Chi Cangfeng squatted on the ground, fixing his eyes on the closed door. A ruthless expression appeared on his handsome face.

“Shia Zhi, you’re mine! Even Her Majesty of Dark Night cannot protect you forever! You can only be my woman whether you like it or not! You’re the only girl who can match up to me in the world!” the teenager murmured in his heart.

He stood up and took a deep breath. As the fierce expression and anger between his eyebrows disappeared, he regained his outstanding appearance.

Walking in the dark castle, he was filled with wisps of purple holy glow. He really had a unique momentum at such a young age.

“Your Majesty of Dark Night, I’m coming to say goodbye, and I will visit you with my father three years later.”

Coming to the gate of the castle, Chi Cangfeng bowed slightly to the darkness and pushed the door open and left.

After Chi Cangfent left, the whole castle was completely silent. There was only darkness here.

If someone was here, he must be shocked. Who could imagine that a teenager who obviously did not belong to Castle of the Night could walk in the castle at will? Castle of the Night was somewhat like a forbidden place in the whole empire.

After a long time, a low magnetic voice arose in the darkness of the castle, “It’s interesting that Family Chi has begun to sound out my attitude. I’d like to see who will be the first one to take action…”

The old man on the stone path beside the castle watched Chi Cangfeng leave. He frowned imperceptibly and couldn’t help looking up at Castle of the Night standing on the top of the mountain then. “What’s she thinking about?”
