Tao Ran was stunned for a moment, then said with some vigilance: "Dean Ye, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
It's no wonder he had such a reaction. When someone asked him such a question when they met for the first time, no matter who he was, he would have doubts in his heart.
"That...is like this."
Along the way, Ye Bufan had already thought of his words, "Senior Brother Tao, my father once had an illegitimate daughter, a pair of twins.
One of them is the Chu Lingxi you just met, and the other was lost when he was young. His father has been looking for him for so many years, but he has not been found.
His old man passed away a few days ago. Before his death, he still kept thinking about this matter, hoping to find his lost daughter.
Originally I didn't have any hope, but you just mistakenly identified my sister Chu Lingxi as the princess, which means the two must look very similar, so I wanted to get to know Senior Brother Tao."
"Oh, I see!"
Tao Ran suddenly realized that no wonder Ye Bufan's eyes were so eager. It turned out that he was looking for his sister.
The reason why he believed it so easily was because Chu Lingxi and Situ Dianmo were so similar, otherwise he wouldn't have admitted his mistake just now.
"In this case, I will tell the truth to Dean Ye."
Tao Ran said, "Princess Situ's name is Situ Dianmo. She is the princess who has just been adopted by His Highness, the patron king of our Dashun Empire."
Ye Bufan immediately asked eagerly: "What did you say? I have become your prince's concubine? When did this happen?"
With the previous foreshadowing, Tao Ran didn't think there was anything wrong with his reaction and said: "A month ago, the royal family of the Dashun Empire held an engagement ceremony.
The patron king officially announced that he wanted to take a concubine. It was also at that time that I met Princess Situ.
But this is just an engagement, it will take some time to officially get married."
He counted with his fingers, "There are exactly thirty days left from today. In thirty days, the Patron King and Princess Situ will get married. If Dean Ye can come in time, he can just go there to attend the wedding."
Ye Bufan asked a few more questions and was sure that Princess Situ was the Situ Dianmo he was looking for.
But what is Situ Dianmo's condition now? Is he injured? Why is he walking with the patron king? These things are still unknown.
But I can't ask any more questions. If I ask too many questions, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion.
Tao Ran didn't stay too long. After the two chatted for a few words, they left and returned to their courtyard.
After he left, Chu Lingxi, Lu Xueman and others walked in immediately. They had already seen something was wrong with Ye Bufan.
After entering the door, Chu Lingxi asked: "Dean, what's going on? Why did that person call me Princess?"
She also noticed something, maybe she was similar to someone, after all, Ye Bufan had mistaken her at the beginning.
"Because you look so much like a lost friend of mine..."
Ye Bufan said a few simple words, then put his hands behind his back and paced anxiously in the room.
He didn't know the specific situation of Situ Dianmo, but one thing was certain, this marriage must have been forced and definitely not from her true heart.
Thinking of this, he asked: "Do you know how far away from here is the Imperial City of Dashun Empire? My friend has encountered some difficulties, and I want to go there and rescue her."
Since the affairs between Situ Dianmo and himself were too complicated, he did not explain too much to everyone.
Lu Xueman said: "The Dashun Empire is very far from the Daxing Empire, and it takes five or six days to travel by flying monster.
Even at the speed of nine days, I'm afraid it will take more than three days. If you go to save people at this time, I'm afraid you will miss the rookie qualifying match."
Hu Yaoyao said: "Brother, you can't rush this kind of thing. After the game, everyone will go there with you. If there are any difficulties, we will solve them together."
Everyone else also nodded.
Ye Bufan thought about it in his mind and wanted to save people before the game started, but there was no time.
Now that Situ Dianmo needs to be saved, he can’t miss the rookie qualifying competition.
According to Tao Ran, the wedding is still a month away, and he can finish the competition in time before going there.
Moreover, after calming down, his thinking became much clearer. I am afraid that even with his current cultivation level, it would not be of much use. He would have to seize the time to restore his cultivation level.
In this world where strength is king, you must be strong enough to have the capital to save people, otherwise it will be useless.
Thinking of this, he made a decision. He must first obtain the Red Yuan Fruit and restore his cultivation to its peak state, and then find a way to go to the Dashun Empire.
Lingxiao Academy is one of the largest academies in the entire Kunlun continent. It has branches in five major states. The branch in Tianluo State is located in the Imperial City of Daxing Empire.
At this moment, Zheng Yiheng had already changed out of the stolen coarse clothes and dressed up like a handsome young man again.
It's just that the bruised and swollen face has not fully recovered, and it still looks a little embarrassed.
He stepped into a room, where two middle-aged men were sitting, who looked somewhat similar. They were his father Zheng Long and uncle Zheng Wei.
Zheng Wei asked: "Heng'er, what happened? How did you become like this?"
His expression was very ugly. He already knew some things about Zheng Yiheng. After all, he was also the elder of Lingxiao Academy of Daxing Empire.
Now that his nephew was robbed in front of his eyes and beaten like this, he couldn't justify it in terms of his face.
"Father, second uncle, it's like this..."
Regarding his father and uncle, Zheng Yiheng did not hide anything and told the story from beginning to end.
Zheng Long asked with a stern face: "You mean, it was that little girl who was in the Nascent Soul stage who beat you like this?"
"Of course not. That cunning bitch must be hiding her cultivation level. Her specific cultivation level cannot be seen. I suspect she is at least at the peak of the Void Refining Realm."
"Are you sure those people are from Lingxiao Academy of Tianfeng Empire?"
Hearing that the other party actually possessed a flying spiritual weapon, Zheng Wei raised his eyebrows, and then showed a thoughtful expression.
He was very clear about what happened at Tianfeng Empire's Lingxiao Academy. When Li Daoran came to ask for help, he also turned away behind closed doors.
He originally thought that a branch of this small country would die naturally, but he didn't care.
But he didn't expect that he would suddenly come to participate in the rookie qualifying match today and beat his nephew like this.
"Yes, it is clearly written on their robes that they are Tianfeng Empire Lingxiao Academy, and judging from their accents, those people are indeed from the Tianfeng Empire."
"You bastard, you are really outrageous. A person from the small Tianfeng Empire dares to touch my son!
Now we are going to the inn, we must find this place today, otherwise people will really think that our Zheng family is easy to bully!"
Zheng Long originally thought that the other party was from some powerful empire, and he was wary of it. But now that he heard that he was from the Lingxiao Academy of the Tianfeng Empire, he became furious.
After saying that, he stood up, pulled Zheng Yiheng and rushed out the door aggressively.
