Chapter 9.2: Shannguan Ling"s Ident.i.ty
Zhang Tairan, who was known as the Patrol Officer of Yong Yang City"s Sanctuary, was enraged. The sword sheath on his back hummed as it was unsheathed.
“Humph! Is the sanctuary that amazing?” The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Shangguan Ling walked out. She glared fiercely at Tang Qing and said, “Rogue, if I didn"t save you, you would have died a long time ago.”
With that, she looked at Zhang Tai Ran and the rest with a proud expression. With the wind blowing her hair, the colorful jade-green clouds crackled behind her, giving her a valiant look, as if she did not put these people in her eyes at all.
Zhang Tai Ran did not make a move. At this moment, he seemed to have completely forgotten to do so. He just looked dazedly at Shangguan Ling, his eyes filled with infatuation. After a while, he finally recovered from his infatuation and coughed twice to hide his embarra.s.sment, his face no longer angry and replaced with a warm smile.
“I am Zhang Tai Ran, the Patrol Officer of the Sacred Hall of Yong Yang City. I have been ordered to apprehend Thousand-Hands Demon Thief. Please forgive me for the intrusion that you made earlier.”
When Shangguan Ling appeared, his calm att.i.tude changed drastically.
“I"ve never heard of a Thousand-hand Demon Thief, nor have I ever seen one.” Shangguan Ling did not have any good impression of the Templar Hall, because according to the rumors, there were some Templar Cultivators who often did whatever they wanted in the name of chasing down the Devils.
“Oh, of course, with young miss"s high cultivation, if he were to meet a Thousand Hands Demon Thief, he would definitely die!” Zhang Tai Ran wore a humble smile as he asked, “May I ask if little miss is heading towards Yong Yang City?”
“What does it have to do with you?!” Shangguan Ling just stared coldly at him, her tone also not showing any trace of politeness.
“Miss, please do not misunderstand. Recently, Yong Yang City has not been peaceful. I am the Patrol Officer of Yong Yang City"s Sacred Hall. If Miss does not mind, I am willing to escort you into the city.”
“No need! Get out of the way!”
“He-he…” Zhang Tai Ran had no intention of giving way. Instead, he grabbed the horse"s belly with his legs, went closer, and said. “It is my honor to meet young miss today. May I know young miss"s name …”
Obviously, in the eyes of the Patrol Officer Zhang Tai Ran who came from the Holy Hall of Yong Yang City, he seemed to be more interested in Shangguan Ling, this beauty who had made his heart tremble, than in the whereabouts of the Thousand-Hands Demon Thief.
“You want to know my name?” Shangguan Ling"s expression was cold and dismissive as she sneered. “You don"t have the qualifications.”
“Hhha!” Zhang Tai Ran raised his head and laughed loudly. “Then I would like to ask this young miss to tell me her name and see if I, as the Patrol Officer of the Sanctuary, am qualified enough to do so.”
“Ha!” Shangguan Ling sneered. Glancing at Zhang Tai Ran with extreme disgust, she casually took out the emblem on her waist and threw it over, shouting, “Open your dog eyes then!”
Pow!
Zhang Tai Ran raised his hand to catch the order badge. It was a white order badge with the words" Thousand Seals Saint Ruler" carved onto it, and when Zhang Tai Ran saw the words" ‘Thousand Seals Saint Ruler," the pleased expression on his face immediately disappeared, and what came next was an ugly pale white and ashen green. He immediately fell off his horse in fright. When he saw the line of words underneath the order badge, he immediately knelt, and even his voice started trembling.
“Little… This little one, I didn"t know that Princess Qian Zhi would come… This little one will die a thousand times… ”
Zhang Tai Ran was scared. He never thought that the woman in front of him who he was so infatuated with was Princess Qian Zhi.
When Shangguan Ling waved her hand, the token was sucked by her.
In this world, saints were the emperors and eight great Saint Rulers. Their reputations shook the world, and everyone knew them.
However, when he heard the four words" Thousand Seals Saint Ruler”, Tang Qing"s eyes that were closed initially abruptly opened. The expression in his eyes as he stared at Shangguan Ling was also a bit complicated as he asked with some uncertainty, “You"re Shangguan Qian Mao"s daughter?”
When Tang Qing"s words came out, Zhang Tai Ran, and the rest were all shocked. They were all stunned on the spot, scared stiff like wooden chickens!
Shangguan Qian Mao was one of the eight Great Saint Kings, the Thousand Tribulations King. In this day and age, not many people dared to call out the name of this long-tempered and hot-tempered Thousand Enchantment King, and this guy in front of Princess Qian Zhenyi, actually dared to call out his father"s name?
He must be tired of living!
“Rogue, do you have any objections?” Although Shangguan Ling was willful, she would never cause trouble without reason. Even though Tang Qing calling him by his father"s name made her a little angry, it was nothing more than that.
Regardless of whether it was Shangguan Ling or Yun Mo, they could all see the astonishment in Tang Qing"s eyes. Indeed, if it was any other man who had unfathomably formed a Dao companion with two women and found out that one of them was the current princess of Thousand Tribulations, how could they not be shocked and delighted by such a high and mighty status?
Tang Qing was indeed a little surprised, but he was not happy. He was surprised not because of Shangguan Ling"s n.o.ble ident.i.ty, but because he knew Shangguan Ling"s father, Shangguan Qian Mao, but because that was a long, long time ago. Tang Qing was still preparing for the seventh heavenly tribulation, long before Shangguan Qian Zhi was still just a little brat.
