Chapter 450: Reunited

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

In the Emperor's Millennium Capital and before the Seventh Princess' palace, Ling Xian wore all black and a bamboo hat that covered his face.

Luo Xin Jie was dressed the same and stood silently behind him.

These two arrived at the Capital unknowingly and completely lost track of Ling Tian Xiang. The tracking technique Luo Xin Jie set on Ling Tian Xiang had lost its power. Therefore, Ling Xian had to pause his pursuit. He then came before the Seventh Princess' palace to ask if Lin Qing Yi was around.

After all, seven years ago, he asked Lin Qing Yi to seek protection from the Seventh Princess. This was why he came here first.

It was noon. Ling Xian waited silently before the palace and awaited for the familiar silhouette.

After a while, a beautiful lady appeared in Ling Xian's vision. He then slowly removed his hat and a casual smile appeared across his face.

The woman opposite of him had a perfect complexion and pearly eyes. A cyan dress wrapped around her curvy body tightly like a Goddess.

It was Lin Qing Yi.

Traces of tears were visible on her face. The moment she saw Ling Xian, her watery eyes flooded with joy and excitement.

She didn't speak and simply stood and stared at the man who had been on her mind for the past seven years.

Ling Xian did not speak neither as he gazed at the beautiful woman before him. A gentle smile appeared.

Just like that, the two of them looked at each other and emotions flowed between them stronger than what words could achieve.

After a long time, Ling Xian finally opened his mouth and interrupted the current silence.

"Qing Yi, it's been a while."

Lin Qing Yi's smile was bright. Her two deep dimples revealed themselves, "Ling… Ling Xian, it's been a while."

"Time flies, it's been seven years in the blink of the eye." Ling Xian exclaimed. He marched forward in giant steps and arrived before Lin Qing Yi, "How have you been?"

"I am alright. But you on the other hand, must've experienced much hardships." Lin Qing Yi's tears continued to fall as she stared at the handsome young man. She felt like everything that was happening was unreal.

It had been seven years since everyone last heard of Ling Xian. Everyone who knew him thought he was dead.

Therefore, when he appeared before her eyes, Lin Qing Yi felt like it wasn't real.

"It wasn't too bad. If I didn't experience the pain, I wouldn't be strong enough to be standing before you right now." Ling Xian smiled kindly and very naturally, he extended a hand and wiped off her tears.

This intimate movement made Lin Qing Yi blush. Thinking about how Ling Xian killed two deputies, she smiled, "That is true. Compared to seven years ago, you grew exponentially. I am not surprised though. Because I have always believed that you would grow into a giant tree soon or later."

"You trusted me that much?" Ling Xian grinned gently again and patted Lin Qiny Yi's head, "In the years you stayed with the Seventh Princess, did anyone hurt you?"

Just as Lin Qing Yi was about to respond, an overpowering voice arose from afar.

"With me who, who would dare to hurt her?"

In the next second, a graceful woman wearing a gold robe walked by. She had delicate features and was tall in height. Every step she took exuded power as if she was a Goddess who rode above the clouds.

After seeing this person, Ling Xian's blood boiled somewhat. He frowned, "Seventh Princess?"

"That's right. And you are the prominent Ling Xian?"

The Seventh Princess raised an eyebrow threatening. Just like Ling Xian, her blood was rushing around her in a jolting manner. This made her suspiciously glance at Ling Xian, as she was unsure why this was happening.

"That's right. Though I am not prominent. I am more infamous for being a trouble maker."

Ling Xian softly nodded as his eyes turned playful. This kind of feeling was not new to him. At Shi Ao Island, he had encountered this feeling.

That time, he met the Demonic Fairy and the sixth ranked Disordered Yin and Yang.

For Ling Xian to be feeling this way again meant the Seventh Princess also possessed a pair of Inner Eyes. The ranking of it was probably not low. Or else he wouldn't be feeling so anxious.

"It seems like you know what's going on." The Seventh Princess raised an eyebrow and checked out the handsome young man. She was getting curious.

"I do know." Ling Xian nodded. "But here is not a good place to talk. I am the most wanted fugitive right now. Aren't you afraid to be seen with me?"

"So you do know you are wanted."

The Seventh Princess continued, "If you know you are guilty, why would you come to my palace? How gutsy."

"Just a little." Ling Xian beamed, "I know you won't rat me out."

"You sure are confident."

The Seventh Princess peeked at the excited Lin Qing Yi and exclaimed silently. She then walked forward.

"Follow me."

Hearing this, Ling Xian, Luo Xin Jie, and Lin Qing Yi followed her.

Just like that, the four of them walked on and on for half an hour and finally arrived before a blue pond.

"Open!"

The Seventh Princess formed a hand seal. Immediately, the blue pond divided into two and a stone road appeared before everyone.

"This palace truly belongs to a princess. You have a hidden space." Ling Xian complimented.

"If I had no hidden places, I would've thrown you out already." The Seventh Princess glared at him. "You killing two deputies is the biggest scandal in the last few decades. One of them was also Deputy Xiao Yao. The emperor will not let you get away with this."

"That's expected." Ling Xian smiled.

Seeing that Ling Xian had no looks of worry, the Seventh Princess' eyes flashed with strangeness, "You sure have some guts. Follow me."

She then marched forward softly towards the pond.

Ling Xian and them followed.

Before long, the four of them arrived at a palace deep into the pond.

This area was very spacious and empty. Other than some common objects, there were nothing else. It seemed like the palace was built for secret meetings.

Once they arrived, the Seventh Princess' expression turned serious. She stared at Ling Xian and said in a low voice, "Okay, we can now talk business."

"That is my intention as well."

Ling Xian grinned softly and casually sat on top of a giant boulder. He then shifted his gaze towards the Seventh Princess with anticipation.

His "business" was to acquire one of the five soul healing items - the Wood of the Warming Soul, in order to awaken the Immortal of Alchemy.

As for what "business" meant for the Seventh Princess, he had a few guesses. There were only two possibilities.

One, to warn him off a few things. Two, to achieve her mysterious intention.
