The Abandoned Young Master of a Wealthy Cultivation Family

Chapter 4384: On the River

Su Bai and Mingya Mingcheng, brother and sister, lived by the sacred river that moated the city for a few days.

Mingya was a lively and cheerful girl, and she was also a chatterbox. Su Bai soon learned from her the story of Mingcheng and the ninth princess of the Hongwu Dynasty.

Ten years ago, the ninth princess was in danger in an ancient sacred mountain. Mingcheng rescued her. The two spent some time together and developed feelings for each other.

After the Ninth Princess returned to the dynasty, she wanted to ask the emperor to agree to her marriage with Mingcheng, but was rejected.

For this reason, the Ninth Princess directly banned herself from interacting with anyone, which gave the Emperor a headache.

In the end, the emperor only offered a compromise, which was to hold a Hongwu court meeting.

As long as Mingcheng could win first place in the Hongwu court meeting, he would agree to their marriage.

That's why the brother and sister came all the way to Hongyang City.

By the river, Mingcheng enthusiastically roasted rabbit meat for Su Bai and Mingya.

Su Bai smiled a little, because he hadn't eaten these mundane foods for a long time.

As long as one's own cultivation can connect with heaven and earth, which is the lowest level in the world of cultivation, one can satisfy the needs of the body by simply absorbing the energy of heaven and earth without eating.

This is even more true for Su Bai's realm. Even if he doesn't eat or absorb any energy from heaven and earth, he can still live until the end of his life without starving to death.

Seeing Su Bai's strange expression, Ming Cheng smiled and said, "My sister just likes to eat these things. Hehe, if this Taoist brother is not used to these things, I don't have anything else to treat you!"

Su Bai smiled and shook his head, "No."

Then, Su Bai took a roasted rabbit leg from his hand.

Mingya's eyes were bright and her teeth were white, and she smiled brightly. "How's it, uncle? My brother's roasted rabbit tastes pretty good, right? He won my future sister-in-law with that trick!"

Hearing this, Su Bai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This kind of plot was really quite consistent with some dramas and novels in the mortal world.

Mingya not only eats meat with big mouthfuls, but also drinks alcohol with big gulps, which is quite inconsistent with her image of a soft girl.

However, it was very generous, and even Su Bai joined in.

"In three days, the Hongwu court meeting will begin. Brother, you must win my sister-in-law back for me!"

After three rounds of drinks, Mingya's cheeks flushed, and she raised her glass and said this to Mingcheng.

Mingcheng was still quite sober. He smiled and said, "I will do my best."

Su Bai glanced at Ming Cheng and said, "Fellow Daoist Cheng, are you attending this Hongwu court meeting? Have you learned in advance what strong opponents there will be?"

Ming Cheng looked at Su Bai and said, "I think I've heard that this Hongwu court meeting only allows those above the Supreme Realm and under the age of 100,000 to participate."

"Those who can reach the Supreme Realm within 100,000 years of age are actually very rare. They are considered to be extremely talented within the Hongwu Dynasty."

"But I'm now at the peak of my cultivation. There are only a handful of people who can pose any threat to me."

Mingcheng listed several names, and most of the people he mentioned were only in the late stage of Saint Venerable cultivation.

There are only two people who are at the same supreme peak.

It can be seen that Mingcheng is a very humble person. If it were Su Bai, except for those two people, the rest would not be worth his attention.

During the few days of contact with the brother and sister, Su Bai did not inquire about their identities.

However, although Su Bai has integrated into the group of two people, Mingcheng still has not completely let down his guard against Su Bai.

The more this happened, the more Su Bai was certain that these two people had extraordinary origins.

In Su Bai's opinion, Mingcheng is most likely the son of the witch god he is looking for.

"Wait for the Hongwu court meeting in three days, and perhaps we'll get some clues."

Su Bai was not in a hurry.

On the morning of the third day, before the light rose from the distant horizon, Mingya and his sister set out early with Su Bai and took a boat to Qiuling Ferry.

Beside the Qiuling Ferry, there is an ancient battlefield, which is where the Hongwu court meeting will be held.

The three of them boarded a simple boat and headed towards Qiuling Ferry.

Although there were many immortal cultivators in the Hongwu Dynasty, mortals still accounted for the largest proportion.

In the territory under the rule of the Hongwu Dynasty, there are many lakes and rivers, so water transportation is developed. In some major cities, flying is prohibited.

Of course, this does not apply to beings above the Supreme Realm.

Although Mingcheng has reached the supreme realm of cultivation, he is relatively low-key and still travels by boat.

Soon, the ship passed through the moat and entered the Qiuling River, and the water in front of them suddenly became wider.

After entering the Qiuling River, the number of boats and ships around them increased. Most of these people were heading to the Qiuling Ferry to watch the Hongwu Court Meeting.

Everyone was very excited.

At this moment, the sky was just beginning to brighten, there was a thin layer of mist on the river, and the boats were all hanging lanterns for lighting.

In comparison, the ship that Su Bai and the other two were riding on was not only not gorgeous enough, but also pitifully small.

Compared with the ship next to them, their small boat was like a leaf drifting on the river. The waves caused by the former were almost as high as their ship.

But, it is moving very steadily.

However, at this time, several dragon-headed ships came sailing side by side, stirring up huge waves on the river. There were a total of nine dragon-headed ships, which immediately attracted countless eyes.

The ship that seemed so huge next to Su Bai and the others just now looked so petite compared to it!

"What a powerful ship! This dragon-headed ship must have been forged from the corpse of a real dragon!"

"Using the corpses of nine true dragons to forge a ship, what incredible financial resources would be required to achieve this?"

"Whose power is this?"

"In the Hongwu Dynasty, apart from the royal family, I'm afraid only the Prince of Huaiyang in the far north has such strength!"

......

On the Dragon Head ship, the flag was flying high, and the word Huaiyang was particularly eye-catching. In front of the leader stood a heroic figure with long clothes and white hair, tall and handsome figure, and an arrogant expression.

Su Bai also glanced at this person, but just once before he lost interest.

His cultivation is quite good, reaching the peak of the Supreme Realm at the age of just over 50,000, but his talent and foundation are not very good. To be able to cultivate to the peak of the Supreme Realm at such an age, he must have the blessing of many external forces.

There is nothing worth Su Bai's attention about such an existence.

After someone recognized that it was the dragon-headed ship of Prince Huaiyang, naturally someone also recognized the identity of the figure with long hair and white clothes.

The only son of Prince Huaiyang, Qi Ao.

In the Far North, Qi Ao is definitely like a prince!

Even within the entire Hongwu Dynasty, the princes of the royal family had to give him some face.
