Chapter 2005 Emperor"s Joy
A ma.s.sive forest full of giant bamboos could be seen everywhere that the Emperor looked. "This place… The Evergreen Pillars forest?" Emperor Feng furrowed his brows, before he sensed the position of the Celestial ahead of him.
He could tell that the Ever Spring Mistress had slowed down and her position was now stagnant. But upon sensing this, the Emperor was stunned.
"It can"t be…" The man knew exactly where the Ever Spring Mistress was. He was very familiar with it due to the fact that it was a place that belonged to family too. "She"s at the Morning Glory Clan?!" Emperor Feng determined, feeling shocked. He would have never expected that the palace the Celestial wanted to visit was none other than the place where his daughter was married into.
The Morning Glory Clan was a close ally of the Imperial Family and had been so for thousands of years. Their bond was firm and there had even been several marriage alliances between them in the past. But Princess Feng Lan was the first one of direct descent to be married into an external clan. This brought great honors to the Morning Glory clan, as well as elevated their position in the Dao Wind Empire.
As such, it was of great concern to the Emperor that the Celestial had gone there.
"This can only mean one thing…" Emperor Feng knew.
But not wanting to rush to conclusions, he decided to witness it with his own two eyes.
~shua~
He soon landed in the clan, none of the restrictions stopping him. It was clear that he had long since been added to the arrays and they recognized him. Plus, this was not the first time he had come to the Morning Glory clan either.
There he saw a group of people standing in ceremony at the central square of the clan. The entire clan had been decorated as if there was a grand wedding happening, and musicians seemed to be playing various instruments. With pleasant music hanging in the air, and the beauty of the gardens, an enthralling atmosphere filled its confines.
Even the Emperor couldn"t help but think this was quite good.
But it posed a great question to him.
"Was a big wedding to happen in the Morning Glory clan?" He wondered.
If there was one, he should have known about it. But he tried to remember and had no information about any major member of the Morning Glory clan getting married.
His query was soon resolved as he saw the Ever Spring Mistress standing with Clan Head Guang San, Princess Feng Lan and several of the elders. "Father!?" Princess Feng Lan spotted her father who had just appeared and was surprised.
"Feng Lan? The Celestial…" Emperor Feng didn"t miss the fact that the Ever Spring Mistress was standing exactly in front of his daughter. The Ever Spring Mistress had a smile on her face as she looked down at a child standing next to the Princess.
"So you are Meihua." The Ever Spring Mistress spoke in a calm voice.
"I am Meihua yes!" The little girl replied with no fear. "Who are you big sister?" She asked.
"Big sister? Haahhaha!" The Ever Spring Mistress laughed loudly, brightening up the atmosphere even more. The sweet scent of a thousand flowers filled the Morning Glory Clan, and all the trees in the garden started to spontaneously bloom!
The members and servants of the Morning Glory Clan who saw this scene were left awestruck. It was a magical thing they had never seen before.
After all, it wasn"t just normal trees and plants that were blooming, but even the Immortal Fruits and herbs!
Something like this wasn"t within the capability of just any immortal. Even the immortal herbs and fruit trees that were hundreds of years away from maturity instantly grew and bore flowers!
This didn"t miss the Emperor"s senses either, as the sudden rise in the immortal Qi in the air was hard to ignore.
"Such power to influence the surroundings without even using Qi… is this the power of a Celestial"s Dao?" Emperor Feng couldn"t help but wonder.
He didn"t get to think about that for long though, as his attention was soon brought back by the Ever Spring Mistress"s words.
"You can call me Master, Meihua." The Ever Spring Mistress stated, stunning the Emperor as well as the other members of the Morning Glory Clan.
After all, while they knew that an honored guest was arriving at the clan, they now knew just how "honored" the guest was by the phenomena that had happened earlier.
"The Celestial is here for our Meihua?!" Emperor Feng felt his heart race.
He had been wondering who was the blessed person to become the disciple of a Celestial and it just so happens to be his own granddaughter.
"Oh?" The Ever Spring Mistress didn"t miss the connection and was a bit surprised. "Seems like fate favors you and your kingdom more than I thought. Your granddaughter shall be my sole inheritor." She declared.
"HAHAHA~" in the next moment, the Emperor forgot all his regal demeanor and laughed with great joy. "Heavens still haven"t forsaken us!"
All the stress he had from the tournament earlier, as well as the acts of his third son, were all gone at that moment.
"Emperor, we intended to tell you after we had the permission from the Ever Spring Mistress. Please forgive us for not telling you earlier." Clan Head Guang San apologized.
"Haha, it is nothing." Emperor Feng didn"t care about that, although. "But do tell me, how did this happen?" he asked, feeling confused.
He could tell that the Morning Glory clan knew about the arrival of the Celestial in advance. This was something even the Temple of the Four Guardian beasts didn"t know. As such, he was confused.
"Meihua has the hidden Plum Heaven Bloodline. It is a celestial bloodline that is suitable for the inheritance of the Ever Spring Mistress." Princess Feng Lan answered in short.
