Chapter 65: The enchanting and extraordinary lotus (Part 2)

The man who was in meditation suddenly sensed something. He looked back and was shocked all over. Cheng 

TianBi called out softly, "Qing…”

Si Cang Qing frowned slightly, walked up to him, and without saying a word, he raised his hand and stroked the 

man's back, passing his internal energy to him.

"Qing," TianBi's body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed again. The familiar aura of this person enveloped him, 

making him feel even more... nostalgic. He murmured, "Thank you."

"Go in!" Si Cang Qing took back his hand and said lightly, then he took the lead and walked into the house. It's 

easy to get cold in autumn nights, and this man's health is too poor. Even with the little bit of internal energy that 

he gave him before, it can't improve much.

"Qing," the heater was lit in the room, and the heat from it made TianBi's pale face look a little better. After 

hesitating for a moment, he continued, "Can I..."

"Meet Yang'er."

Si Cang Qing had already figured out the purpose of Cheng TianBi's visit, so he nodded casually.

TianBi looked apologetic and whispered a thank you, "Thank you for your help, Qing."

Si Cang Qing shook his head slightly. It was just a piece of cake and not a big deal.

"Follow me into the palace!"

In the side hall of Tianluan Palace, Cheng TianYang was lying on the couch, holding a scroll in his hand, reading 

it intently. A dark shadow landed silently in front of him, and a low voice hummed, "Your subordinate greets the 

master."

"No thanks," Cheng TianYang said lazily, "Go ahead!"

"The man today is the Seventh Young Master of Piao Miao Palace," the man in black said in a low voice with his 

head down, "Recently, disciples from various sects in Jianghu have been attacked by disciples of Piao Miao 

Palace, causing a lot of uproar. Later, some people heard about a coup in Piao Miao Palace, and then rumors 

about the Tianwaitian spread."

Cheng TianYang slowly sat up and lowered his eyes to think. After a long while, he asked leisurely: "What is the 

relationship between the Seventh Young Master and Your Majesty?" In order to control the underworld forces in 

Cang Huan, Qingyu Sect made a deal with Piaomiao Palace. However, after the martial arts conference, Qingyu 

Sect was attacked by the martial arts world. He guessed at that time that the person behind all this must be 

Si Cang Qing... Although Qingyu Sect suffered losses, it also gained a lot…

From that time on, he began to pay close attention to Si Cang Qing.

Today, he saw that the Seventh Young Master seemed to have a close personal relationship with Si Cang Qing...

"There is no evidence that there is any relationship between them." The man in black paused and said, 

"Unless..."

"If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Recently, it has been widely rumored that Piaomiao Palace and Penglai Pavilion are from the same clan. 

If Emperor Cang really has some relationship with the Seventh Young Master, I'm afraid it's..."

Si Cang Qing is from Penglai Pavilion. Considering Si Cang Qing's martial arts and battle formation skills, it is 

indeed very possible. Cheng TianYang smiled meaningfully. He didn't expect that Si Cang Qing's identity was 

much more complicated than others knew.

"Chi," Cheng TianYang ordered softly, "you should consider the matter of Tianwai Tian carefully. Don't follow 

those martial arts sects and break into the Heze Poison Forest without permission." If he guessed correctly, 

Tianwai Tian was definitely not an ordinary place. There was no need for him to weaken his forces on these 

meaningless matters.

"Yes, my Lord."

"Well," Cheng TianYang waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave, but suddenly remembered something 

and asked again, "Where did your Majesty go today?"

"Emperor Cang first went boating with the Seventh Young Master, and I and others were unable to get close to 

him. Later, I went to his mansion with Qiu Ping Tian."

"Oh?" Cheng TianYang raised his eyebrows slightly, with inexplicable emotions flowing in his eyes, but he didn't 

say anything else.

Chi retreated, and Cheng TianYang lay down on the couch again, his bright red clothes disheveled and slightly 

open, his eyelids half closed, as if he was dozing, or seemed to be in deep thought.

"Empress," Cheng TianYang's personal eunuch hurried in at this time, his face slightly happy, "The Emperor is 

here!"

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed across Cheng TianYang's eyes, and then he stood up, with a half-smile on his 

face, and ordered the eunuch, "Qing Yan, help me get dressed."

…

"Your Majesty," Cheng TianYang said with a charming look on his face and a seductive smile, "What's wrong 

with you..." He suddenly stopped talking and stared blankly at the person following behind Si Cang Qing.

…Although his head was lowered and his face was hidden by his cloak, the familiar feeling was unmistakable.

Si Cang Qing stepped aside and glanced at Cheng TianYang indifferently. The man's eyes seemed to be a little 

red, and his whole body was tense.

"You two talk," Si Cang Qing turned around, walked past Tian Bi, and left a sentence, "Stay here for the night."

The door of the side hall was closed gently.

"Yang'er," called softly, Cheng TianBi pulled down his hat and quietly stared at the brother he hadn't seen for 

many years, with mixed emotions of joy, sadness, helplessness, etc. flowing in his eyes. The feeling in his heart 

was a mixture of sweet and sour, bitter and spicy, which was hard to describe and could not be expressed in 

words.

There was only one sound, a sigh.

The soft call shook Cheng TianYang's originally tense body violently, and then weakness, relaxation, joy and 

sadness swept through his body, making him dizzy.

"elder brother……"

◇Cang◇Huan◇Seven◇Palace◇

Those eyes that always smiled now only had a sadness that seemed to be from another world.

In the side hall, the candles were burning quietly, and no sound could be heard.

The two of them stood facing each other, just one step away from each other, but never took the step. Hesitation, 

fear, and all kinds of emotions flowed between them.

This kind of dead silence seemed to last a lifetime, yet it also seemed to be just a moment.

Cheng TianYang's emotions gradually calmed down. He slowly walked to TianBi, gently stretched out his hand, 

and put it on the other's shoulder. His voice was trembling slightly, "Brother..."

Apart from a dull cry, language seemed to have lost all its functions.

"Yang'er," Cheng TianBi sighed, opened his arms, and hugged his younger brother tightly. The strength in his 

arms was so great that it seemed as if he wanted to express all the emotions entangled in his heart to the other 

party.

Outside the window, the full moon of Mid-Autumn Festival hangs high in the sky, looking down at the 

separations and reunions, joys and sorrows of the world.

The candlelight flickered as they sat facing each other, holding hands. Their similar faces both revealed a hint of 

sorrow and relief. The atmosphere in the hall was quiet yet tinged with sadness.

"Brother, are you... okay?"

We have been apart for too long and our speech has become dull.

Cheng TianYang's low voice finally broke the silence.

"I'm fine." TianBi also recovered from the feeling of reunion, with a faint smile on her face and a gentle 

expression, "Don't you send someone to visit me secretly every six months?"

Cheng TianYang blushed and said in a slightly angry tone, "So brother knows everything!"

"Heh," Cheng TianBi chuckled, lowering his eyes to look at his pale fingertips, "But, brother never knew how 

you were doing..."

All he knew was the news Ying had found out from outside, news that... made him heartbroken, sad and helpless.

"If you're fine, brother, I'm fine too." Cheng TianYang answered naturally.

The atmosphere is no longer as tense as it was at the beginning, but rather casual and relaxed. Cheng TianYang 

put on his habitual smile again, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Brother, why did you suddenly want to come to 

me?"

Looking up and staring quietly at Cheng TianYang's meaningless smile and innocent eyes, Cheng TianBi opened 

his lips and then closed them again. The complex expression gradually revealed a bit of sorrow.

"Brother..." The calmness on his face showed a slight crack. Cheng TianYang turned his head slightly and looked 

away, no longer looking directly into Cheng TianBi's eyes.

"Yang'er," TianBi sighed softly, her words full of powerlessness, "Why did you marry Emperor Cang?"

Suddenly, Cheng TianYang laughed, "Brother, marriage has always been the custom of the alliance! His Majesty 

doesn't like women, so father has no choice but to let me marry!"

TianBi didn't respond, but just looked into the other person's eyes.

Cheng TianYang's tone changed slightly, "Brother, you came to see me, could it be just for this matter?" He 

whispered, "Brother, don't worry about me anymore, don't worry, I like His Majesty anyway..."

"Give up!" TianBi suddenly interrupted TianYang and said tiredly, his eyes following the flickering candlelight, a 

little dazed and empty, "I know a little about your thoughts. I just want to advise you not to delay your future 

because of the grudges of the past."

"Yang'er, you are only nineteen years old, still young..."

"Brother," Cheng TianYang asked suddenly and considerately, "You have come from a long distance, you must 

be very tired! His Majesty also said that you should stay in Tianluan Palace tonight, so we should rest early!"

"Yang'er!" TianBi's expression was slightly restrained, and his tone was slightly heavier, "Don't change the 

subject. This time, I came to see you just to have a good talk with you. You were still young back then, and those 

things happened so suddenly. Before I could tell you anything, I was taken away by Master."

"I know that you have endured a lot in the palace all these years, and your life must not be smooth. But, they are 

our relatives after all..." TianBi paused, his expression gloomy, "Even if they are unkind, we cannot be unjust."

"That incident has already involved too many people. Now that it's over, let it be over for good!"

Listening to Cheng TianBi's words, Cheng TianYang smiled faintly.

As his brother, he is gentle and indifferent by nature and rarely takes things to heart. But...he is different.

Although he did not experience the physical torture that TianBi suffered, he witnessed his mother being framed 

and forced to death. He witnessed that the secret cell in the palace where his brother was imprisoned suddenly 

caught fire, reducing the entire palace to ashes.

That panic, that pain...

He had been suppressing his hatred and enduring all kinds of cold stares and bullying, just to one day redress 

the injustice done to his mother and brother.

When he had just grown into a teenager, the only warmth he had was the study companionship of his third elder 

brother. He went from being hostile and resistant at the beginning to slowly accepting it. He even listened to the 

man's advice and gave up the idea of ​​revenge. Just when he thought he could let go of the past and live a relaxed 

life, he didn't expect…

In order to gain the full support of the powerful official at that time, Cheng TianYi signaled the Wen family to 

take advantage of his feelings for Wen Shu and send himself to that man's bed as a gift. And the childhood 

sweetheart who was regarded as a brother to him did not stop him, but instead became an accomplice and plotted 

against him.

He felt hopeless, that's all.

But at that moment, he suddenly saw my brother again, who he thought was buried in the sea of ​​fire. At that time, 

TianBi was in such a miserable state…

Once again, he witnessed his loved ones suffering but unable to help, and once again he fell into the panic of life 

and death separation... He could no longer bear that kind of heart-wrenching pain.

Since God has told him time and again that this world does not allow kindness and innocence, and there is no 

clean place in the world, he is willing to fall into filth.

Over the years, the only belief that supported him was revenge, and he wanted to take back all the blood debts 

one by one.

The root of all the tragedies was the emperor of Hong Cheng Kingdom, his nominal father.

The most satisfying revenge for Cheng Ce, Cheng TianYi and those powerful officials is to overthrow the entire 

dirty royal family. Even if Cheng Ce regretted it in the end, so what? Did he think he would care about that 

illusory promise?

While listening to TianBi's words of persuasion, Cheng TianYang's thoughts were a little confused - his luck was 

really good, at this time, a strange person like Si Cang Qing appeared. He intuitively believed that Hong Cheng 

Kingdom would be destroyed by Si Cang Qing sooner or later.

Seeking profit and avoiding harm is the nature of human life. He naturally chooses to cooperate with the other 

party, or to trade.

"Yang'er..."

After persuading him for a long time, Cheng TianBi suddenly stopped talking when he realized Cheng TianYang's 

indifference. He just stared at him blankly. There was a trace of purity in his smiling eyes.
