Chapter 475: Chapter 322 Miss Lu Wan, Youwang Wangque_3

When Gui first traveled the long distance to Du You City, it was on You Mountain where he encountered Qing Jun.

On that day, the mountain was filled with red-clothed figures, and there was also a red sun above the sandy beach by the sea. He took her hand, walking ahead with his head down, while she followed silently...

Lu Wan was in particularly good spirits and couldn’t resist looking back at Zhao Rong, who had ’many friends.’

She noticed where his gaze lay.

Lu Wan took the initiative, "Young Master, the structure atop You Mountain, that’s the renowned Wangque Platform. I’ve heard from the older generation say that the name of Wangque Continent comes from the ancient platform’s name."

Zhao Rong nodded lightly.

But then Lu Wan suddenly added, "Young Master, do you know how the name Wangque Platform came to be?"

Zhao Rong’s thoughts shifted, and he casually replied, "What’s the significance?"

As a native of Du You City, Lu Wan knew these nursery rhymes and market gossip like the back of her hand.

It was also her pastime to entertain her passengers with such stories as she drove them around.

"Legend has it that a very long time ago, when Wangque Continent was still a land of wilderness, our ancestors of the Human Clan had just ascended to the throne of the Xuanhuang Realm, establishing the grand unity of the Human Clan in Central Continent."

"Therefore, Central Continent sent a one-character king, named Du You, to be enfeoffed in the uncivilized ancient Wangque Continent, well, it wasn’t called that back then. What it was called, the legend doesn’t say."

"Young Master, the story circulating within Du You City tells that this ancient king Du You was the nominal ruler of the entire Wangque Continent, and all the land beneath our feet was his fief."

Lu Wan paused, noticing Zhao Rong frowning slightly, but continued,

"And Du You City is where King Du You first landed and settled when he crossed the sea to the ancient Wangque Continent."

Zhao Rong suddenly interjected, "So, the Du You City beneath us, was it established by the ancient King Du You? And is it also the first gathering place for the Human Clan on Wangque Continent?"

Lu Wan nodded, with a proud tone,

"It must be so. The very name Du You City says it all. Moreover, even to this day, our Du You City is the foremost city on and beneath Wangque Continent’s mountains."

Seeing Zhao Rong go silent for some reason, she continued,

"It’s said that after King Du You arrived at this undeveloped wilderness at the edge of the world, he often climbed the highest peak by the sea, which is You Mountain that the young master sees before him."

"This ancient King Du You liked to stand atop You Mountain, facing towards the North Sea, and gaze toward Central Continent across what seemed like the greatest distance in the Xuanhuang Realm. It was rumored that King Du You missed the imperial courts of his homeland in Central Continent so much that he built a high platform called Wangque on the summit of You Mountain and at the same time, renamed this continent to Wangque."

"This is the origin of the name of You Mountain’s Wangque Platform and Wangque Continent."

Zhao Rong was quiet for a while, and then squinted his eyes, "So, is there a titular King Du You on Wangque Continent now? Does the ancient family that inherited the title of King Du You still exist in Du You City?"

"Who would dare to claim to be the master of Wangque Continent nowadays?"

Lu Wan shook her head.

"Besides, it’s just a legend, though it’s widely accepted as the founder of Du You City. Hmm, it probably did exist in history, but it must have disappeared into the river of time long ago. Like those mundane dynasties below the mountain, they rise to glory for a time before they gradually decline and even perish."

"As for the current Du You City, none of those powerful and domineering families and clans have claimed to be descendants of King Du You; and no matter how powerful they are, they must nominally submit to the City Lord’s governance."

Zhao Rong fell quiet again.

King Du You? Du You City? Wangque Platform?

At that moment, four words suddenly surfaced in his mind; words that Gui had mentioned a very long time ago, right after he had ’awoken’ from a dream...

The Du You Ji Clan.
