Chapter 861: Coming Under the Tutelage (3)
No matter who that impersonator was, he must have come from the God Realm. The people from the God Realm had always been proud and arrogant, and they would never allow their people to be subservient to a commoner like her. When Shen Yanxiao thought about that, hope immediately ignited in her heart.
She did not think there was anything wrong with classifying herself as a commoner.
However, when Nangong Mengmeng heard Shen Yanxiao’s terms, joy immediately appeared on her face.
Wasn’t that simple? His Highness was the easiest to talk to. As long as she pestered him enough, he would definitely agree to it. Furthermore, he had always been concerned about her idol, so it would be easy to convince him to agree!
“My future teacher, just you wait. I will immediately discuss with His Highness… er… the sage!” Nangong Mengmeng clenched her fist and flew out of everyone’s line of sight like a little swallow.
Shen Yanxiao sighed in relief.
Qi Xia looked at Shen Yanxiao thoughtfully.
“Did you notice that girl’s slip of the tongue?” Qi Xia asked.
Shen Yanxiao was stunned. Then she remembered that Nangong Mengmeng had called the sage… Your Highness?
“Is there anyone in the God Realm who would be addressed as Your Highness?” Shen Yanxiao frowned. Nangong Mengmeng had accidentally revealed the truth.
It seemed like their previous guess was right. The sage in Sun Never Sets should be someone important in the God Realm. However, he was not the real sage but… His Highness?
“I think I have heard of it.” Yan Yu seemed to have thought of something.
“Let’s hear it.” It was not easy for them to get hold of a clue. They immediately became excited.
Yan Yu said, “It was my grandfather who said that when the sage went to the White Tiger Family, he summoned the White Tiger for us. At that time, everyone in our family respected the sage, and we had always thought that he was the person with the highest authority in the God Realm. However, my grandfather quickly denied it. Even though the sage was powerful, he would die eventually, and that fact was something that could not be changed. This was why there had always been different sages throughout the many generations. And the person who was choosing these future sages was the person who truly controlled the God Realm. However, the God Realm never mentioned a single word about that person’s origin or name. Everyone knew about the existence of that person but they never knew who he was.”
The Phantom members were smart so they had their own guesses when Yan Yu said that.
“I am curious as to how the God Realm could survive until today and still enjoy a good reputation. The previous sage of the God Realm passed away a hundred years ago, and after that, the position of the sage of the God Realm had been left vacant for many years. The one who summoned the mythical beasts for our families was the new sage. During the period when the seat of the sage was vacant, the God Realm was not affected at all. At that time, there was no one with power to oversee it. Such situations are rarely seen. After I heard what Ah Yu said today, I feel that the White Tiger Family’s old man was right.” Qi Xia seemed to have grasped something.
“Err, don’t tell me that the person that Grandfather Yan referred to is the prince that Nangong Mengmeng had mentioned?” Tang Nazhi gulped. If that was true, then he could understand why the god envoys would allow someone like that to impersonate the sage.
“I think it’s possible.” Yang Xi nodded.
Li Xiaowei looked at everyone and hesitated for a moment before he slowly said, “Actually, I might know something about His Highness from the God Realm.”
“Brother! You have all the gossip!” Tang Nazhi looked at his brother in horror.
Li Xiaowei scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “It’s not me, it’s my teacher…”
