Even though Rong Li’s physique was rather feeble, he was refined and courteous. He could be regarded as a fine and elegant young sir.
Duan Yue cupped his hands toward him and walked up in front of his carriage.
He watched as the Qing Vassal King who was wearing a green-furred overcoat strutted his stout legs up to the Ultramarine Province Emperor’s imperial carriage. He gave a salute and said, “Your Majesty, thank you for having this younger brother.”
Duan Yue was promptly disappointed when he saw this Qing Vassal King’s rotund physique.
Sure enough, rumors were rumors. Judging from this Qing Vassal King’s looks, how good-looking could that Qing Vassal Prince be?
Rumors couldn’t be true. It was just all hearsay that indulged in exaggeration.
Duan Yue pursed his lips and looked away.
Upon turning his head, he saw a tall and handsome young sir with an indifferent expression walk up with a bright blue cape draped around his shoulders.
He was wearing a light green robe with sleeves that was embroidered with green bamboo, a symbol of refinement. The lustrous green hairpin in his hair gleamed under the sunlight, complementing his aloof expression and snow-like complexion.
When his gaze fell on Duan Yue, he paused and bowed in greeting. “Your Fourth Highness.”
Duan Yue opened his mouth when he saw the other party. However, he hesitated for a bit before confirming, “Qing? Qing Vassal Prince?”
“Yes.” The young sir nodded with a distant expression.
Duan Yue instantly took back his earlier comment and quipped: The old man is the old man, and the son is the son.
It was almost certain that the Qing Vassal Prince’s facial features resembled his mother…
However, this father and son pair were dressed too festively. They were both wearing green, and the Qing Vassal Prince was even wearing a bit of green on his head. This was… how much did he yearn to be cuckolded1!

The Ultramarine Province Emperor had also alighted from his carriage by this time.
The emperor had a stalwart physique and emanated an aggressive heroic spirit. From their looks, Duan Yue naturally resembled his beautiful mother more.
Yet he was secretly dissing someone else…
In reality, from head to toe, only their sword-like brows were a bit similar. Even their temperaments were different.
The Ultramarine Province Emperor said with a nod, “Let’s quickly ascend the mountain. We do not want to miss the auspicious time.”
This Taiyuan Mountain was where the ancestral temple of the Ultramarine Province’s imperial clan was located. From the beginning of the dynasty to the present, it didn’t matter how highly-ranked of a prince, princess, or consort you were. Even the emperor had to walk up the mountain himself without using a carriage as transport.
Fortunately, everybody had a bit of cultivation background. Even if their talent was not that outstanding, and they were only a grand mystic cultivator at worst, climbing a mountain was of no effort to them.
Half an hour later, several royal maids and eunuchs with no cultivation caught up to their masters at the imperial ancestral temple on Taiyuan Mountain.
The Ultramarine Province Emperor was somewhat excited. He turned to say to Duan Yue, “Ah-Yue, go enter the imperial ancestral temple together with Qing’er.”
Hm?
Duan Yue looked at the Qing Vassal Prince, Rong Qing, curiously.
Wasn’t it said that one person could at most enter the imperial ancestral temple twice in one lifetime? Whether they obtained the demon emperor’s inheritance all depended on fate and could not be forced.
How come then?
Rong Qing did not say anything. He didn’t even give Duan Yue a glance.
The two of them walked up the winding stairs in the imperial ancestral temple. They walked for at least half an hour before finally entering the main hall of the temple.
There had long been an elder with white hair and a white beard awaiting them in the main hall.
When he saw Duan Yue and Rong Qing walk through the entrance of the imperial ancestral temple one after the other, he smiled at both of them and said, “Qing’er has also come! Your Fourth Highness please wait, Qing’er come inside with me first.”
Duan Yue didn’t really care. In any case, he had never really taken this whatever demon emperor’s blood to heart.
