Hanxiang flower is the national flower of Jiuxiang country.

Jiuxiang Taizu Emperor Gu Yangfeng was born in Jiuxiang, an inconspicuous mountain village, but the Xiangxiang flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains are particularly beautiful and attractive, attracting a large number of tourists every year.

There is a saying passed down from generation to generation in Jiuxiang that if you can find the nine-petal Xiangxiang flower, you will have a happy life.

Legend has it that when Guyangfeng's mother gave birth to him, the budding flowers bloomed all over the slope overnight, and the fragrance lingered for ten miles. A psychic snow-white "kitten" brought him a blooming flower.

The nine-petaled Xiangxiang flower later became Guyangfeng’s closest mount, the Tianwen White Tiger.

Of course, legends are inevitably exaggerated, but no matter what, the Hanxiang flower has a very special significance to the Jiuxiang Kingdom, and it was designated as the national flower shortly after the founding of the country by Guyang Feng.

When he saw the Hanxiang flower, Yin Xuecheng was stunned.

"Who are you?" His lips trembled slightly, as if he had guessed something, but he couldn't believe it.

"My name is Gu Yong, and I can be regarded as your senior." Gu Yong said slowly.

Yin Xuecheng was shocked, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he said in a daze: "But my father told me back then that ours was the only one left in the Jiuxiang lineage..."

"Of course that's true. If it weren't for chance, I should have died hundreds of years ago." Gu Yong said calmly.

Yin Xuecheng seemed to be shocked by the words "hundreds of years" and didn't know how to speak for a while.

"After all these years, I finally found you. What are your future plans?" Gu Yong asked.

Yin Xuecheng was a little confused and said: "What, what are your plans..."

"Do you want revenge or do you want to restore the country?" Gu Yong said calmly.

"Restore the country?!" Yin Xuecheng's face was filled with astonishment, as if he had been pricked by a needle. He stood up uneasily and panicked: "No, I...I didn't mean that..."

Gu Yong smiled lightly and said: "I guess you don't either, because even I have no interest in it."

Yin Xuecheng breathed a sigh of relief and pressed his chest to calm his nervousness.

"Do you know Shi Xingwei?" Gu Yong suddenly asked.

Yin Xuecheng slowly sat back down, still in a daze after being frightened: "After my father and mother died, only me and my master knew about it. By chance in the early years, my grandfather and my master became close friends, but later my master's

As my cultivation level got higher and higher and I traveled farther and farther, the friendship between my grandfather and him became much weaker. Until that day, the people from Yunlong Kingdom somehow tracked down the clues, and our family's peaceful life was broken...

"

That year, Yin Xuecheng was eight years old.

His parents were seriously injured, but they still took him all the way to escape, but the people from the Yunlong Kingdom were chasing him closely. If Shi Xingwei hadn't arrived suddenly, he would have definitely died.

Their family had never expected that the superior feudal lord would still remember their friendship in the early years, but in fact Xingwei had never forgotten them.

Even when Yin Xuecheng was born, he specially sent someone to deliver a gift, but he didn't clearly say who gave it. As a result, he never expected that it would be because of this incident that his family would be in trouble.

"Dark Cloud" of the Yunlong Kingdom was just curious at first as to why an ordinary small family would receive the attention of the feudal lord. However, in those years, the war between them and the Xueyang Kingdom was particularly fierce. "Dark Cloud" was more interested in

He was busy collecting information about Xueyang Country, so he didn't pay much attention to Yin Xuecheng's family.

After a few years, the war had calmed down a bit. When the people of "Dark Cloud" were sorting out the files, they happened to see this section, so they randomly sent some people to make friends with Yin Xuecheng's grandfather, trying to find out their relationship with Shi Xingwei.

Yunlong Kingdom's attitude towards the feudal domain lord has always been very complicated. Some suggested making good friends with him, while others suggested finding an opportunity to get rid of him. But no matter what, Shi Xingwei is the most worthy of attention.

So it's not surprising that the Yin Xuecheng family is taken seriously.

Later, another very accidental incident occurred. The people of "Dark Cloud" disguised themselves as an equally ordinary small family, and became more and more closely related to Yin Xuecheng's family. One day, a little girl came to play with Yin Xuecheng, and the adults happened to be busy.

When they go out, they look for materials in the house and play house.

So he unearthed a wine glass engraved with Xianghua patterns from a corner.

At that time, Yin Xuecheng knew nothing about the Jiuxiang Kingdom. Although the little girl belonged to "Dark Cloud", she didn't care about it until she went back at night and accidentally mentioned the beautiful wine glass to another person in "Dark Cloud".

The whole thing completely changed its nature.

It was the combination of these coincidental factors that led to a disaster.

Shi Xingwei only saved Yin Xuecheng in the end, but his parents died peacefully after telling the truth about the catastrophe due to their serious injuries.

Out of a feeling of guilt, Shi Xingwei wiped away all traces, then accepted Yin Xuecheng as his disciple and brought him back to the Territory Lord's Mansion.

This old and tortuous case sank to the bottom of the sea. If it weren't for the arrival of Gu Yong, Yin Xuecheng would never have touched this forbidden area that he had sealed away for many years.

"The person who directly killed my parents back then has been killed by Master. Even if I want revenge, I can only find the leader of 'Dark Cloud', but I am worried that it will cause more trouble..." Yin Xuecheng lowered his head and remained silent.

said.

"In other words, you don't have any specific plans in the future?" Gu Yong asked.

Yin Xuecheng nodded and shook his head: "Master said that people cannot always live in hatred. So I think that in the future I will try my best to climb to the top of the spiritual path and become as powerful as Master, or even better than him.

A more powerful master, but this determination is not just for revenge."

The young man's eyes were very clear, like the surface of a lake when there is no wind, without any dust or impurities.

Facing such clear eyes, Gu Yong was silent for a moment.

He sighed softly and lamented: "Maybe I was wrong. I shouldn't have appeared here and disturbed your current life."

Even though his early experiences caused him to lose his parents, Yin Xuecheng is still living a good life now. He is just a young man who is dedicated to the Tao and has not been blinded by hatred at all.

More than five hundred years have passed since the Jiuxiang Kingdom. To Yin Xuecheng, everything was too far away, so far away that it seemed like an irrelevant dream or even a heavy burden.

"In this case, I have nothing to give you. You should destroy this jade slip after reading it." Gu Yong put down a jade slip with some waning interest.

Yin Xuecheng took it and glanced at it doubtfully. It was full of spiritual skills, soul skills, and secret spells that he had never seen before.

"This is..." Yin Xuecheng vaguely guessed something.

"Use it if you need it, or not. In short, as long as the inheritance of Jiuxiang Kingdom is not cut off in my hands, it will be fine." Gu Yong said calmly.

He covered his lips and coughed a few times, stood up slowly, and walked out the door.

"The road ahead is still long, but I believe you can keep going."

Gu Yong has disappeared, leaving only lingering sounds that linger for a long time.

"senior!"

Yin Xuecheng subconsciously chased out the door, but when he looked around, there was no one there.

He stood stunned for a few seconds, feeling as if he was in a dream.
