Chapter 64
The gates of the Cold Palace have opened once again.
The sound immediately scattered the painting-like scene.
Lin Jiufeng and the white cat looked at each other, speechless.
Lin Jiufeng scanned with his Divine Soul and discovered that the person who opened the door was Princess Yulin.
She left in the morning and immediately came back in the evening?
Meow!
The white cat called out. She looked at Lin Jiufeng and remembered what Lin Jiufeng said in the day. She couldn’t help but snicker.
Back then, she said that Lin Jiufeng was being too idealistic.
Sure enough, as the white cat predicted, Princess Yulin came again.
But the white cat didn’t think that she would come so soon.
“What do you plan to do?” The white cat asked Lin Jiufeng.
“Let’s observe for now. She didn’t come here alone,” Lin Jiufeng said softly.
He saw the young man behind Princess Yulin.
Emperor De!
Even though Lin Jiufeng had never seen Emperor De before, he still recognized him at first glance.
Emperor De looked a little similar to himself.
He also had that temperament and the dignity that belonged solely to an Emperor.
Even though Emperor De still wasn’t directly handling the state affairs yet, he had accumulated quite a lot of experience from the guidance of the court officials.
‘Did Princess Yulin bring Emperor De here to let him see the true colors of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect?’ Lin Jiufeng thought silently.
The power of his Divine Soul distorted the space around him.
He stood still with the white cat.
Princess Yulin closed the door of the Cold Palace and was about to walk in…
When Emperor De spoke curiously, “This is the Cold Palace. The sinners of the royal family are imprisoned here. Why did you bring me here?”
Princess Yulin said, “I brought you here to let you see the treasures that Grandpa Emperor left behind. There’s no one in the Cold Palace anyway.”
Princess Yulin—who had lived here for three months—didn’t discover Lin Jiufeng at all.
“Is there no one else in the Cold Palace?” Emperor De looked around curiously.
“That’s right, I’ve been living here for three months now.” Princess Yulin nodded.
“But when I was studying history, I remember very clearly that about 40 years ago, a crown prince made a mistake and his cultivation was destroyed. He was then banished to the Cold Palace. Until now, there has been no news of his death.”
Emperor De followed Princess Yulin in as he spoke.
“You also know that it was about 40 years ago. At that time, even Father Emperor hadn’t been born. It has to be traced back to Grandpa Emperor’s generation.” Princess Yulin said.
“Do you know why I remember this matter?” Emperor De asked Princess Yulin.
“Why?” Princess Yulin didn’t understand.
“Because strictly speaking, the dethroned Crown Prince imprisoned here is the biological elder brother of Grandpa Emperor, they were born from the same mother. In other words, he is our Big Grand-Uncle.” Emperor De explained to Princess Yulin.
“No wonder Grandpa Emperor hid the treasures and secret manuals here. It’s probably to pay respects to this Big Grand-Uncle who was banished to the Cold Palace,” Princess Yulin replied in understanding.
“Probably…” Emperor De shook his head, not wanting to think about the whereabouts of the dethroned Crown Prince who was imprisoned here.
Perhaps it was really as Princess Yulin had said.
After 40 years, there was a possibility that he was already dead.
“These two cherry trees are quite beautiful, they are in full bloom.”
Emperor De looked at the two cherry trees outside the courtyard.
He took a deep breath of the refreshing air.
“They bloomed while I was living here. It might have been planted by our Big Grand-Uncle,” Princess Yulin said with a smile.
Emperor De nodded and looked around.
He didn’t find anything, so he followed Princess Yulin into the courtyard.
Meanwhile, Lin Jiufeng and the white cat watched them silently from under the cherry trees.
“They called you Big Grand-Uncle.” The white cat whispered into Lin Jiufeng’s ear.
“Princess Yulin probably brought Emperor De here to read the books. She wanted to let him know about the Zenith Heaven Path Sect’s scheme,” Lin Jiufeng said.
He didn’t chase them out.
It was good for Emperor De to know the origins of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, so he would be on guard against them.
This way, Emperor De wouldn’t be so foolish as to be deceived by the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.
If this happened, then only the end awaited the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Lin Jiufeng would also have fewer troubles to think of.
He wouldn’t have to save the Yuhua God Dynasty from being destroyed.
Just like that, Lin Jiufeng and the white cat stood under the cherry trees.
They watched as Princess Yulin brought Emperor De along to look through the pile of books that recorded the previous era in great detail.
From his initial surprise and disbelief to his subsequent silence, Emperor De’s face then turned cold.
“Brother Emperor, this book specifically recorded the matters of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect. You should take a look at it carefully,” Princess Yulin said softly.
Emperor De reached out and took it.
He was speechless for a long time before he slowly opened the first page.
Everything about the Zenith Heaven Path Sect was recorded in great detail.
“They deceived me!” Emperor De gritted his teeth.
Princess Yulin said, “It’s not unreasonable that every court official and even Mother opposed the Zenith Heaven Path Sect. It’s not too late for you to become aware of their true colors.”
Emperor De didn’t say anything.
He read the entire book seriously.
His good impression of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect disappeared.
“Sister, thank you.” Emperor De thanked Princess Yulin seriously.
If it wasn’t for Princess Yulin showing him these, he would never believe that Sect Master Luo Yu was so good to him only because he had selfish motives.
“It’s fine as long as you’ve come back to your senses. Besides, there’s no need to thank me. You should thank Grandpa Emperor. This is definitely the treasure that Grandpa Emperor left for us,” Princess Yulin said with a smile.
Emperor De looked around but he didn’t respond.
“Sister, it’s going to be daybreak soon. Let’s go back. Let’s not touch anything here for now.”
Emperor De looked at the moonlight.
It was already close to dawn.
They spent the entire night reading books.
Lin Jiufeng spent the night under the cherry trees.
Fortunately, Emperor De and Princess Yulin soon left and closed the doors of the Cold Palace.
They didn’t bring these books with them.
Of course, even if they did, Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t mind.
He had memorized the contents of the books by heart, so it didn’t matter whether the books were still here or not.
“This time, no one should come here anymore. We can finally continue our cultivation in peace.”
Lin Jiufeng looked at their departing backs and muttered in satisfaction.
The white cat rolled her eyes at Lin Jiufeng. “You said the same thing before.”
“Just watch if you don’t believe me.” Lin Jiufeng was still very confident this time.
To this pair of siblings, this Cold Palace wasn’t that useful anymore.
Sure enough, Lin Jiufeng was right.
For the following month, neither Princess Yulin nor Emperor De came to the Cold Palace.
The Cold Palace’s peace finally returned.
Lin Jiufeng could also finally continue his routine of signing in every day.
One month later, Dachun came to see Lin Jiufeng.
He brought with him a piece of news that shocked Lin Jiufeng and the white cat.

Dachun came to deliver food and wine and told Lin Jiufeng about the major events that happened in the Yuhua God Dynasty this month in front of the Cold Palace.
Lin Jiufeng and the white cat listened quietly behind the door.
Initially, they thought that it was nothing serious.
But as they listened, they were dumbfounded.
“Dachun, what did you just say?” Lin Jiufeng asked in a low voice.
He suspected that he had misheard.
“Your Royal Highness, the unification of the Xianbei tribes in the plains has resulted in the establishment of a new country, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.”
“The Emperor of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow is called Murong Ling. He’s a powerhouse that rose to prominence on the plains and is considered to be very powerful.”
“He also has the support of the Essence Qi Sect. With their help, he unified the plains and he now has a million armed troops under his command. All of them are very fierce.”
“It’s going to be winter soon. The plains are suffering from a snowstorm that hasn’t been seen in a thousand years. It’s very cold. Countless sheep, cows, and even the Xianbei people froze to death.”
“So this Murong Ling gave the order to invade the Yuhua God Dynasty before winter…”
“In the peace talks, Murong Ling is coercing the Yuhua God Dynasty to help them if the latter didn’t want an invasion. He even said that he wanted to marry the princess of the Yuhua God Dynasty to form a good relationship.”
“This is the most major event that happened in the last month…”
Dachun explained.
Lin Jiufeng frowned.
He recalled the time when he rushed to the plains and killed Martial Sage Tumen on the Celestial Mountain.
All of it was also because Martial Sage Tumen had unified the plains and wanted to invade the Yuhua God Dynasty upon the arrival of winter and heavy snow.
At that time, the court officials of the imperial court were locked in a fierce stalemate.
Each one of them had their own reasoning, and no one could convince the other on what to do.
Emperor Ming had no choice but to come and beg for Lin Jiufeng’s help.
This led to the story of him entering the plains on a snowy night, killing Martial Sage Tumen on the Celestial Mountain, and entering the Life-Knowing stage with one strike.
He thought that this story would be enough to force the Xianbei people to submit
But decades later, the Xianbei tribes were united once again.
