Xia Tong's family was also in the Crimson Fire City, but they were still quite a distance away from the three great families of the Crimson Fire City.
The two of them did not spend too much time on arriving at Crimson Fire City. After all, the distance between Yunhai Sword League and herself was not that far.
"Our Xia Clan is right in front of us", Xia Tong's face revealed a blush, and she directly pulled on Lingyang Tengyu's arm.
He whispered, "It's more realistic this way", catching Lingyang Tengyu off guard.
"Eldest Miss, you're back! The Patriarch and Madam are currently accompanying your esteemed guest, quickly go over!" The servant manager saw that Xia Tong had returned and revealed a happy expression.
However, when he looked at Lingyang Tengyu, he frowned, but didn't dare to say anything.
"Junior Brother Teng Yu, let's go in." Xia Tong said softly. Lingyang Tengyu nodded his head slightly, and under Xia Tong's lead, they walked towards the main hall.
"Father, mother, I'm back." Xia Tong released Lingyang Tengyu's arm and ran towards a middle-aged woman.
When the middle aged woman heard this, she immediately hugged Xia Tong closer and said gently, "Tong'er has suffered so much, quickly let mother take a good look at you."
Beside him was a middle-aged man. It was obvious that he was Xia Tong's father and also the Patriarch of the Xia Clan.
He smiled lightly and said, "The two of you will reminisce later. Let's pay our respects to Zhang Gongzi first."
Xia Tong heard and looked at the teenager across the table, cupped his fists and said: "Xia Tong greets Zhang Gongzi."
Then, he turned to the Xia Clan's Patriarch and smiled lightly, "Father, let me introduce my boyfriend to you. He is called Lingyang Tengyu and is also a disciple of the Yunhai Sword League like me."
Then, he introduced her to Lingyang Tengyu, "This is my father Xia Feng, my mother Han Jing."
At this time, Xia Feng, Han Jing and the Zhang Gongzi all revealed ugly expressions, Lingyang Tengyu seeing that, smiled.
Clasping his fist, he said: "I am Lingyang Tengyu, greetings uncles and aunts."
Xia Feng didn't pay any attention to Lingyang Tengyu, and instead shouted loudly towards him, "I didn't tell you that this time, Zhang Gongzi is here for an engagement with you. After the engagement, I'll take you to the Cloudsoaring sect to cultivate.
"I will not go to the Cloudsoaring sect with Zhang Gongzi. I like Lingyang Tengyu, and even more so, I will not be betrothed to him," Xia Tong said in a low voice, as a hint of determination appeared on his face.
The Ling Yun Sect was one of the top forces in the Ling He Empire, and the Ling He Empire was ranked third amongst the nine nations. Furthermore, the Ling Yun Sect was far from something Yunhai Sword League could compare to, and not only was the Zhang Gongzi an inner disciple of the Ling Yun Sect, he was also the direct disciple of the Lingyun Sect's Vice Sect Master. Not only that, he was also the Ling He Empire's First Young Master, the Zhang family's strength and background was not much weaker than the Ling Yun Sect.
"Uncle, aunt, since the situation is like this, I think I will take my leave first. I just hope that Miss Xia can consider carefully and give you everything you want. What can the man beside you give you?" "He can't give you anything." The Zhang Gongzi said with a smile, then turned around and left with two of his followers.
"Junior Brother Teng Yu, let's go too." Xia Tong really did not have the mood to stay any longer, and immediately grabbed Lingyang Tengyu, flying outside, and left the Xia Clan.
Just as Zhang Gongzi and his two followers were about to leave, they saw Lingyang Tengyu and Xia Tong coming out together, and flying towards the distance at the same time.
"Tell Second Uncle to send two men to kill that brat. If he dares to fight with me over a woman, I want him to know my methods." Zhang Gongzi said indifferently, his eyes revealed a boundless killing intent.
Lingyang Tengyu and Xia Tong left the Crimson Fire City, and headed towards the direction of the Yunhai Sword League.
"Senior Sister Xia Tong, I feel that the Ling Yun Sect is not bad, and its cultivation resources are much better than Yunhai Sword League's," Lingyang Tengyu said softly.
Xia Tong stopped in his tracks, his eyes staring straight at Lingyang Tengyu, causing Lingyang Tengyu to blush a little.
Although he looked to be 13 or 14 years old and gave off a mature feeling, but he was only 11 years old and didn't have much contact with girls, so he was naturally a bit embarrassed.
Although it was said that the people of the The World of Solitude had matured a little early and could normally marry and have children at the age of fifteen or sixteen, Lingyang Tengyu did not have the intention to do so.
"Junior Brother Teng Yu, what I said just now was all true." Xia Tong's face was bright red, and she felt her heart was beating really hard, as if it was going to jump out.
A look of astonishment surfaced on Lingyang Tengyu's face, he obviously understood what Xia Tong meant, and after pondering for a moment, he tried to calm himself down.
He softly said, "Senior Sister Xia Tong, we are still young now, and there will be many variables in the future. As for the relationship between us in the future, we will just let nature take its course."
A pondering expression surfaced on Xia Tong's face, and after a moment, he nodded and said, "Junior Brother Teng Yu, I understand what you mean. In the future, don't intentionally hide from me, and what will you do in the future?"
Lingyang Tengyu heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Xia Tong would turn the tables on him, this was actually the best outcome for them. As for whether the two of them would get together or not, it would depend on fate and fate.
Afterwards, the two of them returned to the Yunhai Sword League, and each said their goodbyes and returned to their own residences.
After Lingyang Tengyu returned to his residence, a pondering expression surfaced in his eyes. Looking at the Zhang Gongzi today, he would not let this matter go.
After musing for a moment, he said softly, "Yang Sha, help me investigate that Zhang Gongzi's identity and background. The more detailed the better.
A calm voice came from the darkness, "Yes, Young Lord." Then, a shadow flashed by, but it did not alarm anyone.
Lingyang Tengyu continued to cultivate and adjust his condition, because the Blue Flame Tower was about to open up and he wanted to enter, as well as use the special flames inside the Blue Flame Tower to enhance his beast spirit's fighting strength. Although he said that the beast spirits that he had awoken from his own cultivation were not ordinary things, and did not know if the special flames within the Blue Flame Tower would be useful to his beast spirit, he still had to give it a try.
Today was the day Lingyang Tengyu would enter the Blue Flame Tower, so he had long since left the Falling Maple Gang encampment and arrived in front of the Blue Flame Tower. This place was completely empty, because the Yunhai Sword League had a rule that all the inner sect disciples were not allowed to enter the vicinity of the Blue Flame Tower, thus this place was considered as the forbidden grounds of the Yunhai Sword League.
"Greetings Alliance Master, Vice Alliance Master and Elder Yang." Lingyang Tengyu cupped his fists and said. Because there were outsiders present, he did not call Yang Feiyan Big Sister Feiyan.
"No need for formalities," Liu Hanfeng smiled amiably: "Since you're here, then I'll be opening the Blue Flame Tower. After entering the Blue Flame Tower, the first thing you'll meet is a crimson-red flame, then a golden flame, but after so many years, there are only two people that can successfully pass through the golden flames."
Pausing for a moment, he chuckled and said, "If you can't hold on any longer, just shout loudly and give up, and you will be automatically teleported out of the Blue Flame Tower."
"I understand, Alliance Master, please open the Blue Flame Tower," Lingyang Tengyu said with a smile. He wanted to see the golden flames for himself.
Yang Feiyan suddenly said: "Alliance Master, I remember that the golden flames are not the strongest flames in Blue Flame Tower right."
"The most terrifying flame in the Blue Flame Tower isn't gold, and there's a black flame behind it. However, over the past few hundred years, no one among the disciples that have entered the Blue Flame Tower have touched this black flame, and I only understood from the ancient records that the strongest one is the black flame. The ancient records state that the founder of the Yunhai Sword League encountered the black flame back then, but it is only a legend."
"Black flames, huh?" Lingyang Tengyu's eyes revealed an expression that seemed like he wanted to give it a try. After that, he rushed towards Liu Hanfeng, Yang Feiyan and the Vice Clan Master, cupped his fist and said with a smile, "Then I will be going in first."
