Chapter 453: Do You Have the Ability to Make Such a Promise?

“All right, I understand,” said Fu Chengyu without feeling any unhappiness. He himself knew that he would be a burden if he were to travel with them. He continued speaking solemnly, “Be careful on the road, you guys. Don’t worry about any Ling Family matters. It was caused by me after all. I owe the Ling Family. As long as I am here for even a day, I will ensure the Ling Family will be at peace for that day.”

If this had taken place earlier, she would also be happy for the Ling Family upon hearing such a solemn promise made by Fu Chengyu. But right now, there was only a heavy feeling in her heart. This promise had been exchanged because of the lives of the Ling family’s disciples.

“Master, you can count on me too. You can leave the matters of the Ling family to me as well. As long as I am here, nothing will happen to Second Elder and the rest of the Ling Family. You can leave rest assured. Go on your way without any worries,” added on the fifth princess, emerging from who knows where with a reticent expression.

Since the fifth princess’ mood was so unusually heavy, Ling Chuxi broke into cold sweat. Although the fifth princess’ words were quite touching when she initially heard them, the more she thought about it, why did it sound like the fifth princess was paying her last respects? Was this the fifth princess’ way of comforting her? If it were not for the expression on the fifth princess’ face, Ling Chuxi would almost have certainly kicked her swiftly.

“Wait till you have figured out if you have the ability to do so, then only make such a promise.” In the end, Ling Chuxi’s kick did not land anywhere on the Fifth Princess’s body, instead she patted the fifth princess’ head and said these words to her indifferently.

Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen rode on their horses and headed towards the outer part of the city.

“What was the meaning of Master’s words just now?” asked the fifth princess confusedly as she touched her hair which had been patted until it had become like tangled grass.

“It means that if you do not have the ability to do so, then don’t make such a promise,” explained Fu Chengyu.

“Who says that I do not have the ability to do so? I am the dignified Fifth Princess,” said the fifth princess as she waved her fist in dissatisfaction.

“Imperial Father is around so he can still pamper you. If Imperial Father is no longer around, what else can you do by yourself?” answered Fu Chengyu indifferently without evading anything anymore. There were many matters in which he no longer evaded anything anymore. After changes in the palace had taken place due to the first prince, there were many matters among the princes that did not need evading any more.

“But there would still be you guys, wouldn’t there?” questioned the fifth princess, looking at Fu Chengyu with doubt.

“I do not want to be the emperor, nor can I be. As for the others, if one of them does become the emperor, I don’t know what the outcome of that will be like either,” replied Fu Chengyu with a cold expression. Leaving these words hanging in the air, he then walked inside with Baili Han.

The fifth princess was stunned and stood rooted to the spot for quite a long time as though she was lost in thought. Then she walked in the direction of the school.

Meanwhile, Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen departed the city on horseback. They galloped along the trails leading to Shang Yuan Country. They did not take the official route as the trails would get them there faster. Second Elder only had half a year’s time and Ling Chuxi was unwilling to waste any of it.

Ling Xi City was a small city west of Shang Yuan Country. It was just a very tiny black dot if one were to locate it on a map. If not for Mu Liufeng mentioning it, Ling Chuxi would not have known of its existence in her lifetime. And she would not have known that there was a place within Ling Xi City called Rejuvenation Valley. And without that knowledge, she would have remained unaware that she could find the Crisis Reverse Pill there.

Since departing the capital, Ling Chuxi hadn’t said a word. She only whipped her horse to go faster and did not stop for a moment, ceaselessly rushing to her destination. She had eaten in the winds and slept in the open along the way. Her originally fair, delicate and smooth face somewhat bore the traces of wind and frost, and even exhaustion on it. Yet her gaze still remained firm and persistent.

Along the way, even the excellent horses which were chosen among thousands had collapsed from exhaustion one after the other. Only the two remaining horses they were each riding were galloping on forcefully.

It was a fortunate that they had finally reached their destination at this point. There lay a small ancient city before them. Although the sign bearing the engraving ‘Ling Xi City’ at the gates had undergone many years of wear and tear by being blown upon by the winds and beaten against by the rain, the city’s name could still clearly be seen.
