At the mention of Jing Xiao, Prince Jing could not help but smile. He said with gratification, “Xiao’er has been working hard to cultivate since a young age, and she’s about to become an Immortal King. Perhaps she’ll make it to the Dao Realm and surpass all her peers one day. No person in the same generation as her in the Jing Family is comparable to her.”

 

Although they initially resisted the idea of Jing Xiao heading to the Imperial Celestial Palace to cultivate, they eventually made a concession when she insisted on it. They even told their good friend, Ling Qiuchang, to look after her.

 

They were aware of what had happened during this period.

 

Princess Consort Jing said with a smile, “There’s no doubt Xiao’er is talented. However, she loves causing trouble. I’ve heard from Brother Qiuchang that she and Yuxian got into a fight at the Imperial Celestial Palace some time ago. Unfortunately, she was not a match for Yuxian, defeated with only one move.”

 

Upon hearing that, the King of the Jing Kingdom nodded and said sincerely, “Ling Yuxian was born to be extraordinary and carries Celestial Energy with her. It’s impossible for Xiao’er to defeat her in a short time.”

 

They had seen how talented Ling Yuxian was. She was significantly more powerful than them when they were around her age. Someone like her would surely reach the pinnacle and become one of the strongest cultivators as long as she did not die prematurely.

 

Therefore, even though they knew that Jing Xiang was fond of Ling Yuxian, they could not play matchmaker. The two of them were vastly different, after all.

 

Also, Ling Yuxian’s identity was special. When Ling Qiuchang entrusted her to the Jing Family, he repeatedly told them to take good care of her.

 

Naturally, Prince Jing and the others did not dare to make any decision without Ling Qiuchang’s consent.

 

As for Jing Xiao’s resentment against Ling Yuxian, they were not concerned. They felt those were merely minor grudges between Juniors. The issues would be resolved sooner or later.

 

Just then, Prince Jing suddenly put on a smile. He brought up another matter. “Anyway, I haven’t seen Xiao’er in a long time. I miss her very much. I contacted Brother Qiuchang the other day and he told me something about Xiao’er. He said that Xiao’er has someone she ikes now, and he’s a brilliant young man.”

 

Upon hearing that, Princess Consort Jing and the King were surprised.

 

“Xiao’er has reached an age when she might fall in love. I initially thought she was only focused on cultivating. I didn’t expect her to have fallen for someone so soon. I wonder when she will bring that man back to let us have a look. The man who can make her fall for him must be extraordinary.” Princess Consort Jing said with a smile. She fully understood her Daughter. She knew that Jing Xiao would not be interested in an ordinary man.

 

“Perhaps Xiao’er will come back soon. That’s what I need to talk to you two about.” The King’s expression suddenly turned solemn.

 

Upon hearing that, Prince Jing and Princess Consort Jing looked at him in shock. After giving it some thought, they realised it was not surprising. The King had always been focused on cultivation and was never interested in getting married. He would not have come to look for them without a reason.

 

Prince Jing turned solemn as well. He asked curiously, “What’s the matter, Older Brother?”

 

With his dark gaze, the King looked in the courtyard’s direction and said seriously, “The relationship between the Jing Family and the Imperial Celestial Palace is complicated. Many Ancestors once said that the person who Founded the Imperial Celestial Palace is likely to be an Early Ancestor of ours. This is a secret in the Jing Family that must not be leaked.”

 

Prince Jing and Princess Consort Jing nodded. They only found out about it at a later time.

 

This was a top secret in the Jing Family that ordinary members were not aware of. Only when the core members reached a certain level in their cultivation would the Seniors inform them about it.

 

“What I’m about to tell you has something to do with that Early Ancestor of our Family. I’ve received news that the Imperial Celestial Palace is sending many Elders to Magnificent Sun Ancient Territory during this period.” The King solemnly said.

 

The Imperial Celestial Palace and the Jing Family were closely related. They were good friends with the current Palace Master, Ling Qiuchang.

 

That was the reason Ling Qiuchang had the confidence to entrust Ling Yuxian to them.

 

Many Ancestors of the Jing Family, who had been in seclusion and rarely handled the affairs of the Family, had no choice but to show up because of this matter.

 

Prince Jing and the others usually lived in the Capital. Since they rarely returned to their homeland, they were not aware of this matter.

 

It was only natural that they were shocked when the King brought up this matter.

 

“This is an important matter. Get prepared in a few days. Judging from the news sent from the Ancestors, all of us have to return to the homeland.” The King left the place after he finished his words.

 

There were not many core members of the Jing Family in Magnificent Sun Ancient Territory. Most of them were in the Jing Kingdom.

 

He had to contact those Family members and inform them about it. If there was a need, all of them had to return to their homeland.

 

The homeland, the ‘Land of the Jing Family’, was not in the Jing Kingdom. It was located in a Heavenly Land opened up by the Grand Spiritual Masters of the Jing Family in the past.

 

Although it was called a Heavenly Land, it was much larger than an ordinary great world. It was an independent universe.

 

After a long period of evolution, the place was now rich in resources and Spiritual Energy. It was as great as those Immortal Forces.

 

However, only after the core members of the Jing Family reached a certain level in their cultivation would they be allowed to enter the homeland. Prince Jing and Princess Consort Jing were not the most powerful among their peers like Ling Qiuchang and the others back then, but they should not be underestimated.

 

They ascended to the Dao Realm many years ago.

 

Usually, they would not show their might, so no one knew how powerful they truly were.

 

If they joined forces, they would even be a match for someone like Ling Qiuchang.

 

Since such a major event had happened, they surely had to return to their homeland.

 

“Xiang’er is not a cultivator, so he’s not allowed to enter the homeland, nor can we tell him anything about it. It’s pointless for him to find out about it anyway. It so happens that he’s been spending most of his time in the library of the royal palace lately. With Ling’er and the others protecting him, we don’t have to worry about anything.”

 

At the thought of this, they exchanged glances with helpless expressions.

 

They did not dare to break the rules. They decided to ask the Ancestors to make an exception after the matter was over. After all, Jing Xiang could not become a cultivator because of his condition. It was not like he should be barred from learning about their Family affairs for all his life.

 

Several days later, the King brought some core members with him to meet up with Prince Jing and Princess Consort Jing. They opened up a passage through the void and headed to the homeland.

 

Prince Jing and Princess Consort Jing only told Jing Xiang that they had to visit an old friend, and they would not be at home for some time. They did not reveal anything else to him.
