It had been a long time since Feng Yang had descended to Earth. But, the passage of time in both Xuanbing prison and the mortal world was different from that of the immortal realm.
For the people in Fengtai Mountain, half a day hadn’t even passed by yet.
Yet, in this period of time, no one had seen any of the King’s family members.
Usually this wouldn’t be a cause for alarm, except for the fact that no one could find the King, the King’s wife, or the Second Prince on the entire Fengtai Mountain and its vicinity.
Patriarch Tai Li, who was the head of the four patriarchs, wondered aloud, “Yesterday afternoon, the King had said that he was going to discuss the punishment of the Eldest Prince with all of us today. How could he suddenly disappear? Could it be that the King went to visit the Eldest Prince?”
Another patriarch asked the attendant who served Feng Yuyan all year round, “Fu Tong, when was the last time you saw the King?”
“About 12 hours ago. At that time, the King and the new Queen were together. It seemed that they were going to see the Eldest Prince.”
“Then, the possibility that they entered the Xuanbing prison is high.” Patriarch Tai Li frowned. “Fu Tong, do you know where the King put the Xuanbing prison?”
“Yes, on the Qilian Terrace.”
The Qilian Terrace was an ebony treasure shelf in Feng Yuyan’s study that was built in the form of lotus flowers. Each flower rose layer by layer, like steps from the bottom to the top, and there were a total of seven such lotus flowers.
As a rare artifact, the Xuanbing prison was usually placed on the highest layer of this lotus platform, and Feng Yuyan rarely moved it to a different place.
However, by the time the four patriarchs arrived at the study, the Xuanbing prison had disappeared, and the highest lotus platform was empty, with only a mountain-shaped seal left behind in its place.
“Fu Tong, are you sure that the Xuanbing prison was placed on the Qilian Terrace before?” asked Patriarch Tai Li.
“Yes, Patriarch. I saw it here this morning,” Fu Tong said again. “Speaking of which, the Second Prince was also here at that time. Later, he ordered me to go behind the mountain to gather cedarwood morning dew for him to make some tea.”
“I have just returned after finishing this task and haven’t seen the Second Prince since he gave me his orders.”
“Could it be that the Eldest Prince did it?” asked the third patriarch.
“But the Eldest Prince is in the Xuanbing prison, and he is seriously injured. What can he do?” Patriarch Tai Li disagreed.
“Don’t forget the reason for which the Eldest Prince was imprisoned.”
“The King asked the Eldest Prince to hand over the xianjue grass many times, but he didn’t do that, did he? If the xianjue grass is really in the Eldest Prince’s hands, he may not have the strength to resist.”
“Forget it. Our top priority is to find the King as soon as possible.”
Patriarch Tai Li said, “Xuan Zhan, use that Purple Lotus Mirror of yours, and see where our King and the Eldest Prince are now.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that the mirror could only be used once every six months, and even then it couldn’t be used easily either, he would have let Xuan Zhan use it long ago.
The person named “Xuan Zhan” was the youngest among the four patriarchs. He looked like he was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and possessed a tall stature, with waist-length silver hair and a carved silver mask that covered the left side of his face.
When he opened his mouth, the voice that came from him sounded cold and distant.

“I can use the mirror to find them, but I want you all to give me an assurance. If the King is really trapped inside the Xuanbing prison because of the Eldest Prince, you must help me in restoring the Eldest Prince’s eligibility for the throne.”

“The Eldest Prince was cut, cut…” Fu Tong lowered his head and could hardly look into the questioning eyes of the several patriarchs.
“Say it! What happened to the Eldest Prince?!” Xuan Zhan suddenly shouted and scared the people around him.
“The King cut off the Eldest Prince’s spiritual roots and also removed him from the Feng Clan’s divine book…” Fu Tong said in an even lower voice, “…just last night.”
“Last night?! How much time has passed from last night to this morning?! The passing of time in the Xuanbing prison is the same as that of the mortal world. This, this…”
The four patriarchs looked at each other, and Patriarch Tai Li motioned for Xuan Zhan to find out the Eldest Prince’s whereabouts.

On the other side, Feng Yang and Ban Yu had just finished their share of the hotpot, and were talking spiritedly with the others.
These young people had already eaten more than 500 yuan worth of vegetables and meat, and had stuffed all of it into their stomachs until they were full.
They were craving for some alcohol, but in the end, they ordered other beverages. No way would they get drunk before watching a movie!
Xiao Liu drove them to the cinema and also brought along some fruits that he had bought earlier.
It was Ban Yu who had asked him to buy some, to relieve the greasy feeling that came with eating a lot of meat. But they had no time to eat the fruits to refresh themselves as they arrived at the cinema quickly.
Ban Yu asked Xiao Liu, “Do you want to watch the movie?”
Xiao Liu shook his head. “No, Young Master. I’m going to pick up my girlfriend from work after this.”
Ban Yu thought about it. “Okay. Then you can go back. Just leave the car key with me.”
Xiao Liu handed him the key, and then asked the person in charge of the cinema theatre about the things he had asked him to arrange beforehand. After getting a clear reply from the person in charge, he left.
Ban Yu took the tickets from the counter and saw Xiao Liu make the “OK” gesture.
Turning to Feng Yang and the others, he said, “Do you want to eat anything else? Take whatever you want to eat, and then we can go into the theater. “
The class monitor said, “I can’t eat any more. How about you?”
Zhou Xuan waved his hand. “I can’t. I’ll explode if I eat again.”
Forget about eating anything, they couldn’t even drink a sip of water! They were too full!
Ban Yu nodded. “Okay. You all can go to Theater 4, me and Yangyang will go to Theater 6.”
Guan Jinfei asked, “Huh? We’re not in the same hall?”
Didn’t you invite us to go watch a movie together? How is this called being together?
Feng Yang was also confused. “You didn’t book one theater hall?”
“Of course not. Why would I? It will ruin the romantic atmosphere between us!”
Feng Yang: “…”
The class monitor, Zhou Xuan, Wang Wei, Guan Jinfei: “…”
Brother Ban, your way of flirting is so manly!
At this time, an usher approached them and asked, “Who is Mr. Ban Yu?”
“It’s me,” said Ban Yu.
The usher smiled and gestured. “This way, please.”
Ban Yu motioned for Feng Yang to follow. The usher looked at them in surprise.
Theater 6 was a VIP room with only eight seats. It had been booked in advance and was said to be for a marriage proposal. The person had also paid for them to help meticulously set it up.
But, the pair in front of him were…both male.
Theater 4 was further inside, a bit ways after number 6, so if they wanted to go there, they would have to pass by Theater 6.
Guan Jinfei and Wang Wei were curious about the room Ban Yu and Feng Yang would be in. Just as they were passing by, the usher opened the door of Theater 6, and they all glanced inside it to see—
A room full of bright red, yellow, orange, green, blue, and purple heart-shaped balloons, each of them tied with silver ribbons, floating just under the ceiling, and the floor was also haphazardly covered with roses. It was like a birthday party, oh no, wasn’t it a proposal scene?!
Cheap! So cheap!
Cliché! So old-fashioned!
The usher subconsciously glanced to see Feng Yang’s reaction. Was he moved? Angry? Or amazed?
However, he didn’t see anything, because Feng Yang’s back was facing towards the rest of them. Feng Yang glanced at the arrangements inside, and then walked in slowly. He saw a heart-shaped cake on the small table between the VIP leather sofas, and asked Ban Yu, “Why did you make it so…romantic?”
“Do you like it?” asked Ban Yu.
The usher closed the door with a soft “click” and blocked the scene from all the curious eyes.
Unsure of what to make of all this, Feng Yang sat down on the sofa next to the table on which the cake was placed, and then suddenly laughed.
Ban Yu did not rush to sit next to him, but followed him to his seat. He put his hands on the armrests of Feng Yang’s sofa, trapping Feng Yang in between him and the sofa, and asked, “What are you laughing at?”
“It reminds me of the first time we met. Do you remember what you were doing that day?”
Ban Yu: “…”
Why are you mentioning that suddenly? I certainly remember that I went to pick up my sparklingly shiny cake that day! Don’t spoil the atmosphere ah!!!
Ban Yu was so angry that he banged his forehead against Feng Yang’s.
“Can you stop mentioning my past? Will you die if you do not do that? Hmm?”
Feng Yang was distracted by the unique scent emanating from Ban Yu’s body.
“Cough, you haven’t answered my question. It’s just a movie. Why did you ask them to decorate this place?”
Ban Yu hummed. “What do you think?”
Feng Yang shook his head.
Ban Yu’s forehead was still pressed against Feng Yang’s forehead. He took Feng Yang’s right hand and stroked it back and forth in a gentle way. Then, in a tone that was more serious than ever, he said, “Let’s be together. Feng Yang, stay with me, not with Ban Yu, but with me.”
“Who are you?” Feng Yang asked.
“Mo Ting. You can call me Mo Ting.”
Feng Yang obviously didn’t believe him, but it was so rare for Ban Yu to be this serious, so he didn’t refute anything. He also answered truthfully, “Okay.”
With just a glance, Ban Yu naturally understood that Feng Yang still didn’t believe that he was Mo Ting Xianjun. But this was not important right now, because Feng Yang was willing to be with him, just him, not anyone else.
Ban Yu kissed Feng Yang’s lips, thinking that his day had gone by so smoothly till now; after this, he was sure that Feng Yang would definitely like the movie he had chosen for him.
However, he was unaware that in Theater 4, Zhou Xuan’s group was completely dumbfounded right now and couldn’t believe what their eyes were seeing.
A few minutes ago, they had seated themselves comfortably and were eager to watch the kind of movie Ban Yu picked for them; they were waiting in excitement.
However, as soon as the commercials were over… What was this?
Wang Wei stared at the movie that was playing on the big screen in a speechless manner. “Do you think Brother Ban made a mistake?”
He let them sober up, and not drink anything, just to show them this?!
The class monitor was also confused. “Err…”
Guan Jinfei commented, “I think it’s better to get drunk and go sleep at home.”
In the other theatre hall—
“By the way, which movie did you choose?”
“I don’t know. I told Liu Jianghe to choose the most colorful one. Don’t you phoenixes like all kinds of bright colors?”
Feng Yang nodded. “Yeah.”
Soon, the movie started, and was accompanied by a particularly happy tune, with nine big words—
Boonie BearsXXXXX
Feng Yang: “…” Really, what a brilliant choice of a movie!
…
