Chapter 632: Chapter 544: Reunited after Eight Thousand Years, Part 2

"How is it? Should I offer my most profound gratitude, shedding tears of gratitude? Or should I immediately express my thanks for the imperial favors, thanking Fifth Brother for his magnanimity?" replied Wang Zijia.

"The old servant understands that Ninth Highness harbors resentment in his heart. Please join the old servant for a trip back. With some knots, wouldn’t it be better if Fifth Highness personally unties them?" Ma Chen said softly.

"Who do you think you are? When did I need you to decide for my Changbao? Or did I sleep too long, and Changbao changed its master? Did it turn into Fifth Brother’s domain?"

Before Wang Zijia could answer, a domineering voice echoed outside.

Then, a rather tall figure walked in with the stride of a dragon and the step of a tiger.

He was in his twenties, had a stern face, but his physique was somewhat slender and delicate, like a Confucian scholar.

But it didn’t affect his domineering temperament, instead, it softened the sharp and domineering him!

The man entered the hall, and on seeing Wang Zijia, his face filled with anger disappeared, he stood dumbfounded in place for a moment.

"What, don’t you recognize me after thousands of years?" Wang Zijia asked with a smile.

"Ninth Brother!"

Woken by Wang Zijia’s words, Li Shengshi did not leap into Wang Zijia’s arms as he did in the past. Instead, he strode forward and gave Wang Zijia a bear hug.

"Haha, Heaven has not been unkind to Seventeenth, being able to see Ninth Brother again, Seventeenth has no regrets in this life!" Li Shengshi laughed while the two brothers embraced.

"I have met Seventeenth Highness, I didn’t expect Seventeenth Highness to be one of the Twenty-Nine Primordial Spirits!" Ma Chen formally greeted with some emotion after the hug.

Li Shengshi retracted his smile and cast a cold glance at Ma Chen, "What, you’re disappointed that I wasn’t trapped in the Infant God Realm for life?"

"Seventeenth Highness, you are misunderstanding. The rescue back then had nothing to do with Fifth Highness." Ma Chen kept a low profile and spoke softly.

"Drop it. In those years, if it wasn’t for some of us still having some skills, we would have gone to meet Yanwang long ago."

"Shengshi had clearly expressed that he was no longer interested in the Zongren Mansion, but they couldn’t let go and even stretched their hands to the border."

"On top of it all, currently, the Third Prince Li Shengcheng didn’t manage to reach the end, and the peach was picked by your Li Shenghui. Now, some things, once you think back, are they not clear yet? Do they really take us for fools?"

At this time, three more people entered the Great Hall.

The strong and sturdy force king Nong Shaoyong, with soaring sword qi and a face full of ice frost, the chilly Cold Sword Ye Youyu, and the gentle and attractive, like a big sister of the farmer’s family, Blood Gu Ye Youqing, followed in succession.

It was Blood Gu Ye Youqing who spoke!

Ma Chen was going to say something, but the next moment, the room temperature dropped suddenly.

It wasn’t a change in atmosphere; it was genuinely very cold. The temperature dropped abruptly; the icy cold penetrated the bones, and the ground around started to freeze.

Ma Chen’s ghost body even started to tremble.

"I warned you. Without my permission, Changbao no longer welcomes your disgusting fellows, right?"

With a cold voice, a not-so-eye-catching palm-sized jade green turtle flew in, staring at Ma Chen with a face full of coldness and icy eyes.

"Turtle Spirit Princess, there are some misunderstandings..." Ma Chen’s words stopped short, unable to go on, his body began to freeze.

He was originally a spirit body and had very low resistance to this.

But he didn’t dare to resist, and he didn’t even trigger a defense spell.

Seeing Ma Chen was about to lose it, Wang Zijia finally spoke.

"Using all means to win in the end is nothing; we were born in a royal family, we can accept all of that, and the loser will admit defeat. However..."

At this, Wang Zijia paused and looked at Ma Chen:

"Since Fifth Brother enjoyed the last laugh, let’s not fool each other anymore. Some things can be hard to see for the participants themselves, but they are quite prominent when you look back. If there’s anything, let him come to me himself."

"Divine Capital, I still say the same thing, since the day I left the Daqian Divine Capital, I never thought of going back, and I don’t need any charity from Fifth Brother."

"Also, don’t pretend to be all brotherly and reverent anymore, the fight for the succession has been over eight thousand years, he, Li Shenghui, doesn’t need to show off to anyone."

During the conversation, Wang Zijia gave Gui Ling’er a look.

As Wang Zijia spoke and made a move, Gui Ling’er stopped her spell, allowing the barely holding Ma Chen to relax slightly.

At that moment, Li Shengshi spoke with a frosty expression, "Old man, tell Fifth Brother that no matter what schemes he’s cooking, don’t toss them my way."

"Whatever happened back then, whether it was right or wrong, isn’t the issue. I was worse than him in skill, and a bit dim, believed him, I admit defeat."

"But now, my own realm, Daqian, isn’t Li Shenghui’s and it’s not Zongren Mansion’s either. If he wants to do something, he can come in person."

"It’s been a while since I last saw him. I want to see how he’ll show up."

"Will he be the considerate and cultured Fifth Brother of the past? Or will he be a schemer, willing to ruin the entire path if he sees his younger brother as a threat?"

Ma Chen looked at the hostile faces around the room, his lips moved slightly, but in the end, he didn’t utter a word.

"Sigh ... ... the two of your highnesses have misunderstood Fifth Highness deeply!" Ma Chen sighed.

"You better quit it, we fell for his tricks before, but now that we know the truth, is it hard to connect the dots? I can’t believe I once thought Li Shenghui was the only good person in the entire Divine Capital!"

The burly and straightforward Nong Shaoyong spoke contemptuously, "Are you going to get lost or not, old man? If you’re not leaving, perhaps we can see you off. I just had a breakthrough and I could do with some practice. I’m itching for a fight."

Ma Chen, who had watched these five grow up, knew very well that Nong Shaoyong’s fists were not to be taken lightly.

Without another word, he hurriedly left.

"Such nonsense!"

"It’s just his pretentious attitude, it’s unforgettable."

"Now that he’s here with that attitude, I bet he’s not here for any good reason."

"Don’t you let yourself be duped by him, Ninth Brother."

"········"

Looking at everyone talking at once, Wang Zijia laughed and said, "Don’t worry, I might have lost to them in the past, but I had my fair shares of bout. I understand them."

"The reason for Fifth Brother’s visit is not hard to guess, even at the height of my popularity, it was still overshadowed by the fact that I helped twenty-nine people ascend to Primordial Spirit as soon as I was born. Other than that, there’s only the secret of reincarnation."

"These are probably the only two things that would catch the current him’s attention."

"Enough about these depressing topics, tell me about your experiences over the years!"

As Wang Zijia was speaking, Gui Ling’er fluttered over and landed on his shoulder.

Wang Zijia looked at her and added, "For instance, how Ling’er, untransformed as she is, ended up with Shengshi. And how they managed to produce two dragon turtles."

The Tyrant’s inheritance they had taken up was firmly rooted in the school of beasts, and since she had directly devoured the inheritance and quickly ascended to the Infant God Realm, there was practically no chance of transformation.

The lively atmosphere instantly fell silent.

"Ha ha!"

"········"

Nong Shaoyong and Ye Youqing immediately burst out laughing. Even Cold Sword Ye Youyu, who was always stern-faced, cracked a smile.

"Master, you have no idea, my senior brother even practiced the Divine Dragon Nine Transformations just for this, it was quite a spectacle!" Nong Shaoyong laughed aloud.

"Would you just shut up!" Li Shengshi retorted in embarrassment.

"I see, understood!" Wang Zijia nodded seriously.

"What? Father, what are you talking about?" Gui Ling’er, who had just landed on Wang Zijia’s shoulder, asked in a panic.

"Ha ha!"

"······"

In the Great Hall, laughter echoed again and again.

After thousands of years apart, they instantly returned to the old days, those joyous times when Wang Zijia took them on wild adventures all over Daqian.

Some people, even after a very long time apart, never end up feeling distant.
