Chapter 389: Guyue Meets the Queen of the Diren Tribe

Under the gaze of the masses, 'Yuwen Tuo', clad in Golden Battle Armor, and Guyue Xianren slowly descended to the ground.

Before coming to the North Sea with Guyue Xianren, Duan Fengyun had instructed Guyue Xianren never to reveal his true identity.

He did not want his identity to be completely exposed just yet; even if it were to be exposed, it would have to wait until after Yuwen Tuo returned.

Regarding Duan Fengyun's request, Guyue agreed without a second thought.

Upon arriving above the North Sea, the two saw the vast, mighty army of the Diren Tribe all assembled on the shore, and the Queen of the Diren Tribe was even dressed in military attire.

Never mind Guyue Xianren's confusion; even Duan Fengyun was very confused now.

How did the perfectly fine Diren Tribe end up in this state?

Thus, seeing the group on the Juhai camel preparing to take flight, Duan Fengyun decisively threw the Xuanyuan Sword down, interrupting the Juhai's flight.

Chen Jingchou and Taba Yu'er looked in shock at Guyue Xianren beside Yuwen Tuo; wasn't this Immortal the same Daoist who had previously told fortunes for Jianchi and Yu'er?

He was actually the legendary Guyue Xianren!

Regarding Guyue's identity, Chen Jingchou and Taba Yu'er had not the slightest doubt.

After all, the Queen of the Diren Tribe and Ran Weng were here; it was impossible for them not to recognize Guyue Xianren.

It was just that the two were very confused now as to what Yuwen Tuo was actually planning by going to such lengths to bring Guyue Xianren to the North Sea.

Seeing Guyue Xianren, whose temples had begun to gray but whose spirit remained the same as it was all those years ago, tears began to fall from the eyes of the Queen of the Diren Tribe.

The Queen of the Diren Tribe said with grief and indignation:

"Guyue, two thousand years, you have finally come!

These two thousand years, I have waited for you so miserably!"

Guyue looked at the Queen of the Diren Tribe with a face full of shame; on the way here, Guyue had imagined countless scenes of reuniting with the Queen of the Diren Tribe.

Yet in none of those countless scenes had he given the Queen of the Diren Tribe the answer she wanted.

Now that he had truly met with the Queen of the Diren Tribe, Guyue found his heart aching.

Seeing the greatest beauty of the Three Realms before him having waited bitterly for him for two thousand years, while he had not said a single word to her.

Guyue said with a face full of guilt:

"Yuyu, I am sorry, it is I who have failed you, letting you wait bitterly for me for so many years.

It is I who have failed you."

Yuyu was the term of endearment Guyue Xianren had for the Queen of the Diren Tribe; in the entire Three Realms, he was the only one who could call her by this name.

The Queen of the Diren Tribe laughed aloud with moist eyes:

"Can a single 'I'm sorry' make up for my two thousand years of waiting?

Guyue!

Do you not pride yourself on having a heavenly mandate to protect the justice and peace of the Human Realm?

How is it that you have abandoned your heavenly mandate to come to the North Sea to see me now?"

"That is not because...!"

Before Guyue could finish his sentence, he suddenly realized that he had been deceived by Duan Fengyun.

Guyue shook his head; he had not expected that after playing through the Human Realm his whole life, he would now be deceived by a mere stripling.

Guyue shook his head and said:

"It is because of this Yuwen Tuo beside me.

He came to Tianwai Village and told me that you had been controlled by the Demon Realm and had fallen into evil, and were slaughtering people in the North Sea.

Upon hearing this news, I immediately rushed to the North Sea with Yuwen Tuo.

It seems this fellow deceived me; he tricked me to the North Sea just to make me meet you."

Duan Fengyun smiled and said:

"Without the dangerous situation of the Queen, how would you, Immortal, have revealed your true feelings?

I was merely trying to do a good deed, letting you two lovers reunite."

Duan Fengyun and Guyue looked at each other and smiled; in the eyes of others, this was 'Yuwen Tuo's' apology for deceiving Guyue, and also Guyue's forgiveness for 'Yuwen Tuo's' deception.

In truth, the two's mutual smile was a kind of tacit understanding, an affirmation that neither had exposed the other.

Guyue Xianren did not expose Duan Fengyun's identity, and Duan Fengyun did not expose that half the reason Guyue Xianren came to the North Sea, besides the Queen of the Diren Tribe, was because of Ran Weng.

Guyue Xianren and Duan Fengyun both knew that once the Queen of the Diren Tribe knew the truth, even a suppressed volcano would be provoked into erupting again, and it would be even more severe than before.

Thus, both chose to conceal it; keeping their mouths shut was for the best.

Guyue looked toward Ran Weng, pointing at the Diren army and the Queen of the Diren Tribe in military attire, and asked:

"Old friend, what is the situation here?

Could it be that you knew I was coming, so you put on such an elaborate ceremony to welcome my arrival?

Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going off to fight a war somewhere."

Ran Weng rolled his eyes and said:

"Who is elaborately welcoming you, you old fox.

It was this Chen Jingchou and Taba Yu'er who told me that Yuwen Tuo was a lackey of the Demon Realm, and that he tricked the address of Tianwai Village out of me to conspire with the Demon Realm to ambush you.

I was worried about your safety, so I told the Queen this news, which is why we have the scene before us now."

Upon hearing this, Duan Fengyun felt a wave of shame; so all of this was caused by Chen Jingchou and this Taba Yu'er.

And when Duan Fengyun and Guyue Xianren landed, Chen Jingchou and Taba Yu'er had already been ordered to be tied up by the Queen of the Diren Tribe.

Duan Fengyun walked in front of Chen Jingchou and Taba Yu'er, emitting a cackling laugh as he said:

"Oh my, isn't this the Chen Kingdom prince Chen Jingchou and the Taba Second Princess Taba Yu'er?

What, are your identities as prince and princess no longer working?

I, Yuwen Tuo, sit upright and walk straight; as a descendant of the Xuanyuan Huangdi, how could I collude with the Demon Realm? You truly think too highly of me."

Duan Fengyun was inadvertently starting to help Yuwen Tuo clear his name, avoiding this group of people misunderstanding Yuwen Tuo too much later on.

Chen Jingchou, however, did not understand at all and said:

"Bah, Yuwen Tuo, do you think I don't know?

You definitely have other motives; all of this must have ulterior intentions."

Chen Jingchou could not believe that Yuwen Tuo had truly, out of the kindness of his heart, tricked Guyue into coming over to meet the Diren Tribe queen.

Chen Jingchou firmly believed that there must be a huge conspiracy behind all of this, only they had not discovered it yet.

Duan Fengyun ignored the two of them; the purpose of his trip had been fully accomplished, and it was time for him to leave.

Duan Fengyun spoke up:

"Immortal, Queen, I have already helped you meet, and my task is complete.

I have other matters to attend to, so we shall meet again."

Guyue nodded; he knew Duan Fengyun had other things to do, so he did not ask Duan Fengyun to stay.

Worried that Guyue might waste his good intentions, Duan Fengyun specifically sent a voice transmission to Guyue, saying:

"Immortal, just rest assured and stay in the Di Ren Zu Tribe.

With me here now, you don't need to worry about matters between the Demon Realm and the Human Realm.

Now, spend some quality time with the Queen; don't waste my painstaking efforts."

Guyue Xianren responded:

"Duan Fengyun, thank you for your painstaking efforts.

Rest assured, I will not let down your good intentions; I will properly accompany Yuyu."

The Diren Tribe queen said with a look of gratitude:

"Prince Yuwen, why not stay for a while as a guest? I haven't properly entertained you before.

Now that you have helped me fulfill a dream of two thousand years, I must thank you properly."

Duan Fengyun smiled and said:

"You are too kind, Queen. Guyue Xianren and I have a good relationship, so this little matter is nothing.

When there is an opportunity in the future, I will come to the North Sea to visit you, Queen.

I hope you won't mind if I stay for a few more days then."

The Diren Tribe queen smiled and said:

"Good, the Di Ren Zu Tribe welcomes Prince Yuwen's arrival at any time.

When that time comes, stay as many days as you wish, Prince Yuwen; I don't believe my tribe would collapse just from adding one more pair of chopsticks for you."

Duan Fengyun nodded with a smile, then walked over to Juhai.

Duan Fengyun patted Juhai's head and said:

"Little brother Juhai, your big brother has things to do and must leave first.

Don't miss me too much; if you get bullied by anyone, just make a note of it, and when your big brother returns, I'll take you to get revenge."

Juhai looked at the cheeky Duan Fengyun; although this big brother was truly too cheeky, Juhai could feel Duan Fengyun's sincerity.

If it were truly bullied and went to find Duan Fengyun, Duan Fengyun would definitely help it get justice.

Therefore, Juhai had now accepted Duan Fengyun's status as its big brother.

Juhai nodded and said:

"Good, big brother, I will wait for your return.

If you get bullied by anyone outside, you make a note of it too.

When that time comes, the two of us will go together to get justice."

Duan Fengyun smiled and finally walked over to Ran Weng and said:

"Ran Weng, I'm sorry for deceiving you.

I hope you won't blame me or say that I, this younger generation, deceived you, an elder."

Ran Weng patted Duan Fengyun's shoulder and smiled:

"You brat, what are you saying!

If you had said earlier that you were going to trick that fellow Guyue into coming to the North Sea, how could I have not told you the address of Tianwai Village?

Brat, take care; I believe we will definitely meet again.

I truly did not misjudge you; you were born with the demeanor of an emperor."

Ran Weng had actually always been concerned about Guyue dragging things out with the Diren Tribe queen.

But as Guyue's good friend, he certainly could not bring this matter up to Guyue.

He knew where Guyue's destiny lay, so as a friend, he had no choice but to support Guyue's choice.

But he never expected that today, Duan Fengyun would actually trick Guyue into coming to the North Sea, allowing Guyue and the Diren Tribe queen to meet again after two thousand years.

Just for being able to trick Guyue into coming over, Ran Weng admired Duan Fengyun.

For thousands of years, Duan Fengyun was the first person to successfully trick Guyue, which made Ran Weng give him a thumbs up.

Moreover, it seemed that after being deceived by 'Yuwen Tuo', Guyue did not look angry at all; it seemed this 'Yuwen Tuo' had deeply won Guyue's heart.

Seeing Guyue being so tolerant toward Duan Fengyun, Ran Weng even began to wonder if Guyue would take Duan Fengyun as his disciple.

If Ran Weng knew Duan Fengyun's true identity, he would not dare to have such a thought.

This Duan Fengyun was not here to be Guyue's disciple; he was here to be Guyue's master.

Guyue now didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of Duan Fengyun.

Facing Ran Weng's praise, Duan Fengyun said without blushing or skipping a beat:

"Thank you for your praise, Ran Weng."

"Once I am finished with my business, I will certainly come to find you and Guyue Xianren to drink!"

After Duan Fengyun finished speaking, he let out a loud shout:

"Everyone, farewell!"

Having said this, Duan Fengyun transformed into a ball of fire and vanished before everyone's eyes.
