Chapter 758: Chapter 2: The Nobleman Unmatched in the World_2
The vast expanses of grassland stretched endlessly, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden hue onto the grass, transforming it into patches of fiery red.
Wang Anye’s tranquil heart was stirred slightly, and in that instant, he gained new insight. The guards and servants tiptoed away to a distance, deeply afraid of disturbing the young master’s moment of enlightenment.
Several hours later.
He slowly opened his eyes, his heart as pure as ice.
The night was deep, and the moonlight was bright and clear.
Two horses, one large and one small, resembling the radiant moonlight, had appeared beside him at some point. Their coats were immaculate white, smooth as perfect Spirit Silk, and on their charming heads, they bore a jade-like horn.
What was even more remarkable was the pair of wings growing from their flanks.
[Jade-Horned Celestial Horse]
These were mystical elves living deep within the vast grasslands, extremely rare wild Spirit Horses. Even a fleeting glance could attract crowds eager to locate them. It is said that only those with hearts pure and unsullied can earn the closeness and favor of Jade-Horned Celestial Horses.
"Angchi, angchi." The juvenile Jade-Horned Celestial Horse seemed very interested in Wang Anye, nudging him with its head.
For once, Wang Anye smiled, gently smoothing its coat with a soft touch and retrieving various foods from the fathomless Storage Ring to feed it.
The Jade-Horned Celestial Horse was quite picky with food.
Yet, Wang Anye’s stash of snacks was even more abundant. Eventually, it was determined that the Jade-Horned Celestial Horse was particularly fond of [Ice Crystal Jade Dew], [Yuan Water Spirit Melon], and [Thousand-Layer Spirit Cake] made by combining several high-grade Spirit Rice.
Chomping happily, the Jade-Horned Celestial Horse ate with great joy and became increasingly close to Wang Anye.
Before long, the larger Jade-Horned Celestial Horse nudged its young to go, but the young one seemed reluctant, responding to its mother’s urgings with more angchi, angchi, while nuzzling Wang Anye.
Soon, the large Jade-Horned Celestial Horse gave Wang Anye and the young one a deep look before spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.
The young Jade-Horned Flying Horse watched longingly yet didn’t open its wings to follow. Only after the mother disappeared from view did it affectionately nuzzle Wang Anye again, calling out a few times with angchi, angchi.
"Is this...?" Wang Anye pondered for a moment while resting his chin, "Are you asking me to take care of you?"
"Angchi, angchi!" The Jade-Horned Flying Horse responded joyfully, bouncing around Wang Anye.
"Alright then." Wang Anye once more brought out some Spiritual Food it liked. The Jade-Horned Flying Horse ate happily, apparently very pleased with its new master. As for its mother, she seemed to have been left far in the distance, out of sight and mind.
In the distance.
The guards and servants hidden in the shadows were all stunned by this scene.
Is this really happening?
Our young master just sat on the grassland, and he ended up with a legendary Jade-Horned Flying Horse?
This Flying Horse may not have strong combat abilities, but its speed is amazing, and it’s incredibly rare. No matter where it goes, it certainly stands out.
Our young master is truly unparalleled in the world!
...
At the same time.
Lingyun Sacred Land.
Profound Mist Peak.
Since Gongyang Strategy temporarily left, the already sparse human presence at the peak became even less, forming a stark contrast with the bustling disciples’ courtyard at mid-mountain and below.
Atop the peak, the grand palace sculpted from metal stood as quietly as ever, exuding a majestic aura that seemed capable of tearing the firmament.
Yet, perhaps due to the lack of human presence, this majesty also carried a sense of inexplicable solitude and chill.
On this day.
Xiaoyue was, as usual, in the side hall organizing the recent reports from "Dawn."
Suddenly.
A streak of platinum light flashed across the sky, landing swiftly at the palace entrance. As the light receded, a young man in white stepped forth and strolled into the Profound Miao Palace.
The palace had Restrictions, and as soon as they were triggered, Xiaoyue reacted quickly, coming out from the side hall to investigate.
Upon seeing the figure heading towards the inner hall, her eyes brightened, and she immediately went up to greet them, bowing respectfully: "Master, you have returned."
Indeed, the white-clad young man was none other than the master of Profound Miao Palace, Master Xuanmiao Gongyang Strategy.
"Rise~"
Gongyang Strategy waved his hand casually and then walked slowly into the inner hall.
Seeing him take a seat in the main position, Xiaoyue promptly approached and diligently brewed tea for him, soon presenting a cup next to him.
Noting his mood, Xiaoyue smiled: "Master, it seems your journey to the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty was quite successful?"
Although Gongyang Strategy’s emotions were always reserved, Xiaoyue, having followed him for nearly two hundred years, could naturally tell that he was in a good mood at the moment.
"Though there were some twists along the way, the result was satisfactory." Gongyang Strategy took the cup, recalling the gains from this trip, and his lips curled upward involuntarily.
He gently lifted the cup, skimming the tea froth, and slowly savored a few sips, feeling that nothing compared to the comfort of drinking Daqian’s tea. While the Immortal Tea from the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty was superb, after prolonged enjoyment, it always seemed to lack something.
While he drank, Xiaoyue took the opportunity to briefly report on the major events that had occurred over the past thirty years in the Saint Land and within the Daqian Kingdom.
With the "Struggle of the Imperial Sons" approaching, the Saint Land had been relatively stable in recent years, but there had been frequent movements within the Daqian Kingdom. Numerous high-ranking officials experienced position changes, and even several Third and Fourth-Grade Noble Families had members caught up in the turmoil, resulting in demotions and disgrace.
