Chapter 76
Countless invisible hands were constantly pushing her into the sky.
So high that Princess Yulin became afraid of its height.
Other people who were praised would definitely be happy.
Then, they would lose themselves and become obsessed with it.
But it wasn’t the case for Princess Yulin…
She chose to wash off the fame and glory she obtained and returned to the beginning.
She went back to holding the sword and practicing with it daily.
In the past five years, she had rarely seen anyone, even the Empress Dowager.
It has also been five years since she last saw Emperor De.
After five years, Emperor De looked at his younger sister who had no makeup on.
She was dressed in snow-white clothes.
She now had a bearing similar to that of a jade beauty.
Emperor De was moved by the sight that he saw.
“It’s been five years since we last met. You seem to have changed into a different person,” Emperor De said.
Princess Yulin smiled. She lifted her teacup and said, “I just grew up, that’s all.”
Emperor De looked at Princess Yulin, full of emotions.
She just grew up, that’s all.
The 16-year-old Princess Yulin from five years ago was still a child.
But to solve the problem that could implicate millions of common people, she went into the Plains and created her own path of s*******r.
And today, five years later—Princess Yulin told him that she had grown up now, that’s all.
“Is there something on your mind today, Brother?” Princess Yulin asked curiously.
She knew that Emperor De was very busy.
None of the issues that could reach the Imperial Court were small matters after all.
Hence, there must be a reason why Emperor De came here.
Emperor De nodded and explained the recent events in detail.
Princess Yulin frowned slightly as she listened.
“The Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race. If it’s true that their cultivation bases are beyond the Human God Realm, then they are indeed very powerful.”
“Yes, they are very powerful. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be distressed.” Emperor De smiled bitterly.
“Brother, I haven’t broken through into the Grotto-Heaven Realm yet.”
Princess Yulin directly answered the question that Emperor De wanted to ask her
Emperor De opened his mouth, then closed it.
He dismissed the question that he wanted to ask.
Instead, he changed it into something else. “What about your master?”
Princess Yulin asked in surprise, “You want to look for my Master?”
Emperor De nodded and looked calmly at Princess Yulin.
His eyes gleamed with a faint shimmer.
“Did you gain some information or something?”
Princess Yulin was indeed born from the same mother as Emperor De.
She immediately guessed what he was thinking.
“This needs to be confirmed first.”
Emperor De shook his head and refused to tell Princess Yulin about his recent discovery.
Princess Yulin had no interest in continuing the conversation.
“I don’t know where my Master is. I haven’t gone out for five years.”
Emperor De looked at Princess Yulin and suddenly extended his hand.
“What?” Princess Yulin raised her brows.
“Give me the key to the Cold Palace,” said Emperor De.
Princess Yulin laughed and said, “The walls of the Cold Palace courtyard aren’t that high. You can just climb over them.”
“That won’t be polite.” Emperor De smiled mysteriously.
He looked at Princess Yulin and said, “That key is not something precious, but you are unwilling to give it to me. This means that there is something wrong with the Cold Palace. Give me the key, I will visit the place.”
Emperor De looked at Princess Yulin proudly.
Princess Yulin had no choice but to hand over the key to Emperor De and remind him.
“Don’t disturb the place. Also, what if there’s no one around?”
Emperor De just smiled and got up to leave without saying anything.
What if there’s no one around?
Impossible!
Emperor De’s recent five years consisted of handling the Imperial Court and the state affairs of the Yuhua God Dynasty. However, he had also been carefully investigating any information as to who could be living in the Cold Palace.
What was the identity of that dethroned Crown Prince?
Nearly 50 years have passed since then.
No one knew about the matter of Lin Jiufeng being banished into the Cold Palace.
And in the historical records, because it was considered a huge scandal, there wasn’t a detailed description of it at all.
There was only one sentence.
[Because of his l**t, the dethroned Crown Prince is to be locked in the Cold Palace till his death.]
Thus, he was banished into the Cold Palace back then!
But who was this dethroned Crown Prince?
What was his background?
Why was he banished into the Cold Palace?
When he was investigating these matters, he only lacked a starting point.
But after so many years, Emperor De was bound to find a piece of information that he could use as the starting point of his investigation. From there, he decisively searched for and discovered various answers to the burning questions he had in mind.
‘It turns out that this dethroned Crown Prince and Grandpa Emperor are biological brothers.’
‘Then, I should address him as Big Grand-Uncle.’
‘He has been imprisoned in the Cold Palace for almost 50 years.’
‘Is he still alive?’
‘Since he has been banished into the Cold Palace, that courtyard must belong to Big Grand-Uncle.’
‘Therefore, the one who gave little sister pointers wasn’t Grandpa Emperor’s soul, but was instead Big Grand-Uncle.’
‘I shall go visit Big Grand-Uncle now.’
Emperor De has been investigating the truth for the past five years.
Today, he was only one key away from the truth.
Hence, he came to ask for the key.
Moreover, he couldn’t tell Princess Yulin about his speculations just now.
It was better not to disclose any unverified information after all.

After obtaining the key from Princess Yulin, Emperor De didn’t immediately rush to the Cold Palace. He didn’t tell anyone and returned to the f*******n City to continue dealing with the state affairs.
In the latter half of the night, Emperor De quietly left the f*******n City alone and went for the Cold Palace.
Late at night, he opened the Cold Palace’s door.
Once the door to the Cold Palace was opened, Emperor De didn’t go in.
Instead, he bowed all the way and said in a deep voice, “Unfilial descendant is disturbing Big Grand-Uncle’s rest. I ask for Big Grand-Uncle’s help.”
Lin Jiufeng and the white cat who was cultivating opened their eyes.
“Your descendant is here.” The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng was puzzled. “How did he know that I was here?”
Did the Empress Dowager tell him?
That shouldn’t be the case…
If the Empress Dowager wanted to tell Emperor De about him, then she would have already done so five years ago when Princess Yulin was forced into a marriage alliance.
Why wait until now?
Lin Jiufeng initially wanted to ignore him, but Emperor De had already addressed him as Big Grand-Uncle. His confident tone meant that he knew that Lin Jiufeng was there.
“How did you know of my existence?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
Outside the Cold Palace, Emperor De’s expression shook.
He pulled himself together and said, “It’s because I’ve been looking through all sorts of information in the past five years, including things that happened decades ago, as well as the relics left behind by my father and grandfather.”
“Smart.” The white cat praised.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t expect that Emperor De discovered his identity through the latter’s own deduction.
This made Lin Jiufeng think highly of him.
“Isn’t the Yuhua God Dynasty doing well? Why did you come to find me?”
Seeing that he was so smart, Lin Jiufeng decided to ask about his purpose for coming here.
What exactly happened that Emperor De himself came here to look for him?
Instead of the Empress Dowager coming here.
After all, the Empress Dowager was the only one that was supposed to know of his existence.
But the Empress Dowager didn’t come to seek his help.
Emperor De immediately told him about the recent events in the Yuhua God Dynasty and about the Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race.
One stood before the Cold Palace while the other was within the courtyard.
Their voices weren’t loud, but both sides could hear each other properly.
After Emperor De finished talking about the Seven Sages, he knelt on both knees and pleaded.
“Big Grand-Uncle, Grandpa Emperor and Father passed the Yuhua God Dynasty to me in one piece. Not to mention pioneering new territories, but it’s my responsibility to guard the foundation of the ancestors without losing even an inch of land.”
“But the Seven Sages are simply too powerful…”
“The power of a secular dynasty such as our Yuhua God Dynasty is no match for them. If the Yuhua God Dynasty’s lands were to be given up by me, then I would really be a sinner for all eternity. Even if I were to die ten thousand times, I would still be unable to make up for it.”
“Today, it is already an unforgivable sin for me, this unfilial descendant, to rashly come to your door and disturb Big Grand-Uncle’s leisurely cultivation. I only hope that the Big Grand-Uncle can help the Yuhua God Dynasty and protect the foundation built by our ancestors…”
“This way, in the netherworld, Grandpa Emperor will remain smiling.”
Emperor De had truly matured.
Five years ago, he was still a stubborn child who didn’t know how to take responsibility and was only focused on his own path of cultivation.
But now, he had the responsibility of an emperor boring down his shoulders.
Lin Jiufeng stood in the courtyard and looked at the walls that were covered with sword scars.
His gaze was faint as he looked through the walls one after another.
He then saw the kneeling Emperor De.
He was impressed.
Lin Jiufeng remembered very clearly that five years ago, the Emperor of the Great Xia’s Dragon Sparrow came to ask for a marriage alliance in order to maintain peace with the Yuhua God Dynasty.
