"It’s hard to say; Lord Bishop is not fond of talking. However, she taught that young girl how to carve a lute, and also gave some of her own hair to that girl for the lute strings," given the size of the Ice Prison, everyone incarcerated knew about Yun Sheng and Hu Jiusheng’s cordial relationship. "What? Is that really true?" Ji Fang was greatly shocked. Giving one’s hair to another for lute strings, was this the Hu Jiusheng he knew? Ji Fang couldn’t help but doubt. Hu Jiusheng’s true form is that of the Eight Desolate Sky Fox, one of the supreme existences among demon beasts. For demon beasts, every part of their bodies is precious. Even a single strand of hair from the Sky Fox Clan is like the highest quality of beast skin fur, excellent for refining materials. If it were not someone extremely close, Hu Jiusheng would never give away her own hair. "Who is this young girl? What is her surname and name?" By now, Ji Fang was sure that it was this unknown girl who had caused Hu Jiusheng’s unusual behavior lately. "There are many people in the Ice Prison, and we do not know each other’s names, but I remember Lady Xuan once mentioned that that girl is from Great Zhou, her name seems to be... right, Yun Sheng," Ye Xia struggled to recall. Finally, he remembered the name Yun Sheng. "How old is this girl this year, and what does she look like?" "I am not sure about her age, but she has a pretty appearance," Ye Xia hesitated, "Speaking of which, her eyes look very much like those of the Holy Red Robed Summoner." Just as Ye Xia finished speaking, the sound of footsteps was heard from outside. Emperor Hong City Lord and Xuan Meimei walked in. "The Summoning Emperor visiting Emperor Hong City without informing me, really makes me feel left out," The Emperor Hong City Lord and the Red Robe Summoning Emperor, both powerful figures of their time, had crossed paths under various circumstances. Moreover, both were top-tier summoners, and even though they weren’t exactly enemies, it was puzzling why the Red Robe Summoning Emperor would suddenly appear in Emperor Hong City. The Emperor Hong City Lord, without alerting anyone and sensing the presence of the Red Robe Summoning Emperor, followed him directly to Ye Xia’s room. It just so happened that Xuan Meimei had business with Ye Xia, and the four of them bumped into each other. Seeing the Emperor Hong City Lord, Ye Xia couldn’t help but relax. With the City Lord present, surely the Holy Pope wouldn’t make a move lightly. "Brother Xuan, it’s been many years, you still look as dashing," the Red Robe Summoning Emperor and the Emperor Hong City Lord, both being Summoning Emperor Level powerhouses, exchanged pleasantries upon meeting. Although he was a Summoning Emperor, he was, after all, on someone else’s turf. "Brother Ji got it. You still look as young as in your youth, truly enviable," the two exchanged hollow laughs. "Lord City Master, the Summoning Emperor is here to gather information. Miss, it’s good you’re here. The Summoning Emperor wants to inquire about Yun Sheng’s background. I’m not familiar with Yun Sheng myself; it’s best you explain," Ye Xia quickly roped in Xuan Meimei as a shield. She knew Xuan Meimei was displeased with Yun Sheng because of Yuan Bu Po, and seizing this opportunity, she would definitely tarnish her reputation. "Yun Sheng? Why is it her again, truly a lingering evil spirit," Xuan Meimei felt disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly upon hearing Yun Sheng’s name. She originally thought that Yun Sheng had died in Xianju Country. Little did they know, she had just left Xianju Country recently and returned to Great Zhou. Fortunately, Brother Bu Po is currently in seclusion; otherwise, upon hearing this news, he would have immediately sought out Yun Sheng. Upon hearing Yun Sheng’s name, Emperor Hong City Lord also furrowed his brows—yet again, Yun Sheng. When Yuan Bu Po was persuaded by his father to return to Dihong City, he immediately sought out the Emperor Hong City Lord. He stated that he wanted to undertake Dual Cultivation with Yun Sheng. The Emperor Hong City Lord scolded Yuan Bu Po at that moment, calling it absurd, insisting that people of Dihong City could only do Dual Cultivation with their own city’s people. Little did he know, Yuan Bu Po then spoke of Yun Sheng’s mastery of the latter three Chapters of the Emperor’s Song, surpassing any woman in the city, even Xuan Meimei. Only then did the Emperor Hong City Lord realize that Yun Sheng had also learned the last three Chapters of the Emperor’s Song. Upon learning this news, his first thought was to immediately kill Yun Sheng. However, Yun Sheng is currently in Xianju Country; his reach couldn’t possibly extend that far. Upon further thought, if what Yuan Bu Po said was true, and Yun Sheng indeed possessed such high talent, then allowing her and Yuan Bu Po to engage in Dual Cultivation wasn’t such a bad idea either. As long as the two truly harmonized in their music, breaking the prohibitions within the Emperor’s Ancient Tomb and obtaining the ninth Chapter of the Emperor’s Song, then the future of Dihong City would be entirely different. Years ago, in order to obtain the City Lord’s seat, the Emperor Hong City Lord married Madam Bi, and together they had a chance to enter the Emperor’s Tomb, but since their union was born out of mutual interest, during Dual Cultivation, Emperor Hong City Lord still had thoughts of his childhood sweetheart, Lady Rou. As a result, the effects of their Dual Cultivation were greatly reduced. While in the Emperor’s Tomb, they barely managed to obtain the seventh and eighth Chapters of the Emperor’s Song; the ninth Chapter remains missing to this day. This has also been a persistent source of anxiety for the Emperor Hong City Lord over the years. He had also inquired his daughter Xuan Meimei and Ye Xia, and confirmed that Yun Sheng indeed had such talent. Therefore, he had a plan in mind to let Yuan Bu Po and Yun Sheng undertake Dual Cultivation; if the two obtained the ninth Chapter of the Emperor’s Song, it would not be too late to act then. Today, the Holy Pope personally asked about Yun Sheng, which naturally made the Emperor Hong City Lord vigilant. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱 When Xuan Meimei heard that the man before her, who looked even younger than her deceased elder brother, was the renowned Red Robe Summoning Emperor across the continent, she was also taken aback. However, the Holy Pope, seemingly possessing a special kind of charisma, unknowingly disarmed people of their defenses. Moreover, since Yun Sheng was the person Xuan Meimei disliked the most, she simply disclosed everything she knew to the Holy Pope. "That person called Yun Sheng, is just a low-class female Mage, flaunting her looks everywhere. She’s from the Great Zhou Martial Saint General Mansion, seems like she’s also a Hunter Soldier. Oh, I heard she even has a Summon Emperor Level master, but without seeing it firsthand, I’m not sure if it’s true or false." "Person of Great Zhou Martial Saint General Mansion? There’s one daughter and two boys in the Martial Saint General Mansion; whose progeny is she?" Upon hearing Yun Sheng’s surname Yun, the Holy Pope became slightly alarmed and even more puzzled after hearing her age and appearance. "She’s the niece of Yun Canglang, calls him her second uncle; turns out, she must be the daughter of the eldest son of the Yun Residence," said Xuan Meimei nonchalantly. Daughter of Yun Canghai! So, she was that bastard child! The Holy Pope was shocked internally; he had never imagined that the infant born years ago had not died, and more unexpectedly, had encountered Hu Jiusheng afterwards. Family ties are thicker than water, even if Hu Jiusheng didn’t immediately recognize her, he must have felt something unusual. The Summon Emperor’s heart was tumultuous, but his face remained calm and composed.
