Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 334: Do you dare to take this Flame Emperor Sword?

Not far away, a man dressed in a black dragon robe suddenly appeared. The Phoenix Pavilion’s formation had no reaction to him, as if he had always been there.

The man appeared to be around sixty years old, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Jun Aoshi’s. His eyes were as bright as the stars, as if they could see into your soul.

Although he smiled, his presence and demeanor were imposing, exuding an authority that made others dare not approach him.

However, Jun Yunshang ignored his imposing presence and ran toward him with a joyful expression. “Father, what brings you here?”

Smiling, the man affectionately ruffled her hair. “It’s your birthday, how could your father not come?”

“But I was busy with affairs of state during the day and could only come in the evening. You won’t be upset, will you?”

Jun Yunshang shook her head quickly. “How could I be? I thought you wouldn’t come this year!”

Jun Lingtian smiled. “I originally planned to have your uncle send your gifts for you, but I was afraid you might cry if I didn’t come.”

Jun Yunshang pouted and acted spoiled. “I wouldn’t! I’m an adult now.”

Watching the father and daughter enjoy such a warm moment, Lin Fengmian felt a heavy feeling in his heart.

The Holy Emperor of the Junyan Empire, Jun Lingtian!

This was the target of his mission along with Luo Xue, whom he had unexpectedly encountered here.

Jun Lingtian turned to Lin Fengmian with a broad smile. “So this is the heartthrob of my Yunshang, the famous Young Master Ye Xuefeng?”

“Not bad, not bad, a fine young man indeed. No wonder my Yunshang likes you.”

Jun Yunshang’s face immediately flushed bright red as she shyly said, “Father, what are you saying?”

Jun Lingtian laughed heartily. “Isn’t my Yunshang an adult now? Why is she still shy?”

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath and cupped his hands, saying helplessly, “I’ve met the Holy Emperor. Your praise is too much.”

Although Jun Lingtian was alone for now, if they were to fight, others in the city would undoubtedly come to his aid.

Moreover, Lin Fengmian had not yet reached the peak of the Void Realm and had not yet stepped into the Half-Saint Realm, so it wasn’t the best time for him to confront the Holy Emperor.

The sudden appearance of the Holy Emperor had completely disrupted Lin Fengmian’s plans.

How could he act like a tragic hero right now?

Jun Lingtian’s gaze became sharp as he smiled. “There’s no need for formalities. You don’t have to feel awkward, just pretend that you didn’t see me.”

Lin Fengmian was startled, thinking that Jun Lingtian could hear his thoughts, and couldn’t help but be a little bewildered.

Jun Lingtian’s eyes gleamed with amusement as he waved his hand. “Don’t worry, young friend. I can’t hear your thoughts. I’m just guessing.”

Despite his words, Lin Fengmian couldn’t shake the feeling that the Emperor’s gaze, which seemed capable of seeing into the heart, was giving him chills.

He silently cursed himself, Your explanation doesn’t convince me at all!

Fortunately, Luo Xue spoke up in time. “He is not lying. Even if he were a Saint of the Great Ascension Realm, he wouldn’t be able to hear your thoughts.”

Lin Fengmian sighed in relief, silently lamenting how much more experienced someone like Jun Lingtian was compared to him.

“The Holy Emperor truly has a keen eye that can see through people’s hearts. I’m truly impressed,” he said with respect.

Jun Lingtian chuckled helplessly and said, “This is all learned by sitting in this position. If you were in my position, you’d be able to do the same.”

“Every day, dealing with various lies and intrigues, if you’re not sharp, you won’t be able to keep control of such a vast empire.”

“With time and age, you become more astute. Naturally, you’ll start to understand people’s thoughts; it’s not really about reading minds.”

Despite his words, Lin Fengmian still felt an immense pressure standing in front of him. He couldn’t imagine how much more overwhelming it must be for the emperor’s court officials.

“The Holy Emperor is too humble. As a young man, I am truly in awe,” Lin Fengmian said respectfully.

Noticing his discomfort, Jun Yunshang quickly tried to ease the situation. “Father, you came so late – did you bring me a gift?”

Jun Lingtian smiled broadly. “My Yunshang is about to be crowned princess. Do you still want to ask your father for a gift?”

“I do, I do!” Jun Yunshang playfully pulled on his hand.

Jun Lingtian took out a red longsword and smiled indulgently. “Alright, alright. I came in such a hurry that I didn’t bring anything valuable with me. How about I give you this sword?”

When the sword was revealed, it exuded a powerful aura as if it was the ruler of all swords. A dominating power of the sword arts enveloped the surroundings.

A top-notch immortal tool!

This was undoubtedly one of the most powerful weapons among the divine tools.

Jun Yunshang was stunned. “Father, isn’t this your Flame Emperor Sword? How can you give it to me?”

“My things, I can give them to whomever I want. Little Yunshang, do you dare to accept this Flame Emperor Sword?”

Jun Lingtian’s gaze was intense, with a hint of anticipation as he waited for her to take the sword.

“But isn’t this sword a symbol of the next emperor?” Jun Yunshang pouted, “Father, you’re so stingy! If you didn’t want to give it to me, then you shouldn’t tease me.”

Jun Lingtian laughed in despair. “I’m telling the truth, little Yunshang. If you want it, your father will give it to you. What do you say?”

Jun Yunshang repeatedly shook her head. “I don’t want it! If I take this sword, I’ll be targeted by everyone!”

Slightly disappointed, Jun Lingtian shook his head. “Since you don’t want it, I’ll take it back. How about you ask your little lover if he wants it?”

Jun Yunshang’s heart skipped a beat, but she scolded, “Father, what nonsense are you talking about? Young Master Ye is not my little lover!”

Jun Lingtian chuckled. “So you don’t like him, huh? Since he’s not your sweetheart, I can’t just give this sword away.”

Jun Yunshang blinked in surprise and then looked at Lin Fengmian, uncertain whether he would want the sword.

She didn’t know the rank of Zhenyuan and instinctively felt that Zhenyuan was inferior to this top-grade immortal tool, the Flame Emperor Sword.

Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but feel helpless. This girl had clearly been teased by Jun Lingtian.

“Why must the Holy Emperor tease her?” Lin Fengmian said somewhat resigned.

Jun Lingtian’s expression turned serious. “Who said this emperor was joking? Young man Ye, I can see that Yunshang likes you very much.”

“If you agree to marry her, then this Flame Emperor Sword is yours.”

Jun Yunshang didn’t expect Jun Lingtian to say such a thing. She stared at him in shock, then turned to Lin Fengmian with an expectant look in her eyes.

Lin Fengmian’s expression shifted slightly, but he shook his head and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but I cannot accept this sword.”

Jun Yunshang’s eyes, which had been sparkling with excitement, dimmed in an instant. She lowered her head in disappointment.

Jun Lingtian patted her head and said, “Yunshang, go to the side for a moment. Let me talk to your sweetheart.”

Jun Yunshang hesitated but obeyed, walking off to the side, though her eyes frequently glanced back at them.

Jun Lingtian turned his gaze to Lin Fengmian. “Ye Xuefeng, do you like Yunshang?”

Lin Fengmian hesitated for a moment, but Jun Lingtian saw the complexity in his expression and smiled. “It’s good that you like her.”

He lightly ran his hand over the Flame Emperor Sword and asked, “Do you understand the meaning of this sword?”

Before Lin Fengmian could respond, Jun Lingtian continued, “As Yunshang said, this Flame Emperor Sword is not just a top-grade immortal tool, it is also a symbol of the Holy Emperor of our empire.”

“By holding it, you would become the Holy Emperor of Junyan! Not only Yunshang, but the entire Junyan Empire would be yours! Do you understand?”
