CHAPTER 512: CHAPTER 4: THE FALLEN YUN RESIDENCE

When Yun Sheng left, Divine Wind couldn’t bear to bid her farewell, so he sent someone to give her some of her old belongings and one of his storage rings.

Inside the ring, there was a variety of items, including some valuable treasures of the Elf Clan and snacks, candied fruits, and trinkets that Yun Sheng liked during her time in Xianju Country.

To a girl, these items were very tempting.

But the Little Elf did not even glance at them; being young, she had no interest in such things.

Yun Sheng and the Night Charm Queen exchanged looks, both feeling the urge to tie the little one up and take her away.

"What is that thing?" The Little Elf wrinkled her delicate little nose, noticing an alcohol pot among the pile of trinkets that Yun Sheng had taken out.

That pot was used for storing Elf Fruit Wine.

Yun Sheng was not fond of drinking, but she had a particular fondness for a kind of Elf Fruit Wine called Pomegranate Brew produced in Xianju Country.

Thus, Divine Wind had also filled the storage ring with ten urns of top-grade Elf Fruit Wine.

The Little Elf smelled the aroma from the pot, and her eyes lit up.

She looked at Yun Sheng with a pitiful face, obviously wanting a drink.

Yun Shang coughed and simply poured a cup for the Little Elf.

After taking a small sip, the Little Elf’s face showed an immensely blissful expression.

"Delicious, if I follow you, can I drink this tasty stuff in the future?" The Little Elf’s logic was simple; she had been sleeping alone in the Fire Elf Sacred Valley for so long and was rather lonely.

Yun Sheng had the scent of other Elf Queens that the Little Elf liked, so she naturally had a good impression of Yun Sheng.

Now that Yun Sheng had given her such delicious wine to drink, her fondness for Yun Sheng soared even more.

"Yes," pondered Yun Sheng, whether the Little Elf was of age yet, underage drinking...

In this way, Yun Sheng successfully lured the little one who possessed the Water Elf Queen’s heritage with just a small cup of Elf Fruit Wine.

The little one had lived in the Immortal Holy Grail for thousands of years, and she had no memory of why she lived there or who had sealed her inside.

Having grown tired of the small space of the Elf Holy Grail, she stubbornly refused to live in the Immortal Holy Grail any longer after waking up.

She only promised to help Yun Sheng when needed, to use magic, and allowed Yun Sheng to use the Life Spring.

But the Little Elf’s appearance was too distinctive; her petite body and elfin face clearly weren’t suitable for travel on the continent.

"I can live on your bracelet!" The Little Elf was not willing to stay with the Night Charm Queen, preferring to cling to Yun Sheng’s Magic Wand.

She did not like the dark aura emanating from Night Charm.

The little one was even less willing to live in the unventilated Beast Language Ring; her watery eyes rolled around on Yun Sheng and suddenly stumbled upon an excellent dwelling spot.

Yun Sheng’s bracelet!

The Little Elf Queen thought Yun Sheng’s bracelet was nurturing extremely powerful energy at first glance.

Still young and leaving the spiritually rich land of Xianju Country, the murky aura of the continent could easily affect her physique.

However, if she could take up residence in the Shennong Medical Bracelet, she could absorb the mysterious power of the bracelet, which would also be beneficial for her growth.

Yun Sheng agreed to her request, and the little one transformed into a blue light, burrowing into the Shennong Medical Bracelet.

The bracelet now bore the mark of an Elf Karma Fire, and also that of a Water Elf.

Great Zhou Yujing, Yun Residence.

Yun Sheng had been missing for three years.

In these three years, Yun Bahe almost vanished from court, and at the Great Zhou Court, a few Civil Servants took control of politics, while in the military field, Marquis Weiyuan rose to prominence, gradually seizing the power of the Great Zhou Army.

"Sheng’er, it’s already been three years," Yun Cang Lang lamented.

Today, as usual, he brought Yuan Shahu back to the Yun Residence to visit his father and elder brother.

After Yun Sheng’s departure, considering the safety of his father and brother, Yun Canghai once considered moving back to the Yun Residence.

After all, Yun Bahe could not engage in combat and had resigned from his military general title. He had many old foes from his official and battlefield days, and the Yun Residence’s defense was not as strong as before; Yun Cang Lang worried that some might take this opportunity to strike at the Yun Residence in secret.

But Old General Yun rejected the idea.

"This residence is now inhabited by the old and the disabled. You and Shahua have just married and are enjoying the bliss of wedded life. Additionally, the Yun Residence is somewhat distant from the Hunting Corps. It’s inconvenient for you to travel back and forth," Yun Bahe didn’t want to burden Yun Cang Lang, whose Sky Hunting Corps was thriving.

It seems choosing to become a Hunter Soldier was indeed the right path for Yun Cang Lang.

Yun Bahe did not want to hinder Yun Cang Lang’s progress.

"Father..." Yun Cang Lang still wanted to persuade him.

"Second young master, actually you don’t need to worry," Uncle Yun pulled Yun Cang Lang aside as he saw the father and son at an impasse: "This old servant has discovered that there has always been someone secretly protecting our estate."

Ever since the Old General was poisoned and unable to use fighting spirit, Uncle Yun had been guarding the outside of the Old General’s quarters day and night.

A few times, assassins really did come, and on one occasion, several groups came at once.

Just when Uncle Yun was outnumbered, a mysterious figure in a black robe appeared in the courtyard. With his astonishing movement technique, he killed those assassins.

After repelling the enemies, the figure in the black robe disappeared.

Throughout the entire event, the man in black did not speak a word. He came without a trace and left without a shadow, but his skills were extraordinarily high.

Initially, Uncle Yun thought the strange man in black was Zhan Li or perhaps sent by Yun Cang Lang, but upon questioning later, both of them denied it outright.

The man in black was almost invisible during the day, leaving not even a wisp of breath, but he would appear at night, especially if there was an enemy attack.

And he always appeared at the most critical moments. After many occurrences, Uncle Yun came to understand that the man in black meant no harm. With an expert helping to protect the Yun Residence, Uncle Yun felt relieved.

Yun Cang Lang showed a look of puzzlement upon hearing Uncle Yun’s words.

To think that there was such an expert hidden in the Yun Residence, Uncle Yun was skilled, but he had come and gone from the Yun Residence so many times without detecting the other party’s presence. This person must be at least a martial artist or mage with equal prowess to Zhan Li.

Yet, within the territory of Dazhou, who would protect the Yun Residence 24 hours a day?

Yun Cang Lang was baffled, but suddenly, he recalled a hunter soldier Zhou Quan had mentioned to him before.

This hunter soldier was nominally part of the Sky Hunting Corps, but even he, as the Commander, had never met him.

In the entire Hunting Corps, only Yun Sheng and Zhou Quan had contact with this hunter soldier.

This person had an odd name, called Rich Man Gold, who, according to the story, was personally recommended by Yun Sheng to join the Sky Hunting Corps.
