139: Chapter 139 Soap Opera

"The Red Flood Dragon Clan is hunting down a person. To be precise, it is a person of mixed human and flood dragon blood," Manager Huang Xing said.

This matter was not exactly a secret; it was just that few people knew about it.

Since Lin Ming wanted to know, he could tell him about it.

Lin Ming nodded slightly. It was no different from what the old man had said.

"It is the nature of the Dragon to be lustful. Although the Red Flood Dragon are flood dragons, they are no exception," Manager Huang Xing continued.

The saying 'It is the nature of the Dragon to be lustful' applied perfectly to the Red Flood Dragon. In the territories of the Yao Race, there were many Yao Beasts that possessed a trace of the Red Flood Dragon's Bloodline.

There were even some people of mixed human and flood dragon blood among the Human Race.

"But the person the Red Flood Dragon Clan is hunting this time has an unusual identity."

"Her mother is the current Clan Chief of the Red Flood Dragon Clan, Chi Liankong. She possesses a very high concentration of flood dragon blood and was originally intended to mate with the offspring of the Red Flood Dragon Clan's Grand Elder. It was hoped that their offspring might have the potential to evolve into a True Dragon Bloodline."

Evolving into a True Dragon was the ultimate dream of the Red Flood Dragon Clan. They were constantly thinking about how to transform into the True Dragon race.

However, to this day, no flood dragon from the clan had achieved this feat, yet they had not given up.

Chi Ruo and Chi Sheng were the offspring of the Clan Chief and the Grand Elder, respectively. They possessed the most potent Bloodlines among the current flood dragon race. If they were to mate, the chances of their offspring becoming a True Dragon would certainly increase significantly.

Therefore, the marriage between these two flood dragons had been destined since they were born.

However, everything changed two hundred years ago when Chi Ruo fell in love with a human.

This was something the Red Flood Dragon Clan absolutely could not tolerate. If it had been any other flood dragon, it would have been fine, but Chi Ruo carried the hopes of the flood dragon race.

They would not allow such a thing to happen.

The Red Flood Dragon Clan immediately dispatched their experts to capture her. It took several experts at the Other Shore Realm to finally capture Chi Ruo and imprison her within the Red Flood Dragon Clan. She had been there ever since.

"What about the man?" Lin Ming asked.

From beginning to end, Manager Huang Xing had not mentioned the male protagonist of this story, the person who had fallen in love with Chi Ruo.

"That person is too mysterious," Manager Huang Xing said, shaking his head.

As for the other person involved in this matter, the man Chi Ruo loved, they also wanted to know who he was.

However, his background was too mysterious, just like Lin Ming before him—they didn't know his identity or background. They didn't even know if the name 'Yan Chen' was real.

That man was the same. They only knew from the Red Flood Dragon Clan that his name was Yan Yu; they knew nothing else, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

Some factions even used their own resources to investigate Yan Yu's whereabouts, but they found nothing.

Just like that, this mysterious person suddenly disappeared. That's right, he simply vanished.

It is said that when the Red Flood Dragon Clan found Chi Ruo, she was alone, and Yan Yu was nowhere to be found.

Furthermore, Chi Ruo refused to say a word about Yan Yu's existence.

Some people speculated that the man named Yan Yu had actually been killed by the experts of the Red Flood Dragon Clan.

"So, the Red Flood Dragon Clan tolerated Chi Ruo's pregnancy, allowed her to give birth, and then let the child escape?" Lin Ming asked.

This Red Flood Dragon Clan was a bit too incompetent, wasn't it?

"The specifics are unclear, but we learned from friends within the Red Flood Dragon Clan that Chi Ruo used a special method to conceal her pregnancy and, with the help of others, secretly gave birth to the child."

"It was just that she couldn't keep it hidden forever, so she had to send the child away from the Red Flood Dragon Clan's territory."

Their Wanfu Chamber of Commerce traded with many races of the Yao Race, and the Red Flood Dragon Clan was one of them. Moreover, the Red Flood Dragon Clan was not monolithic. Trying to pry information from them, while troublesome, was not impossible.

"Has this child been caught?" Lin Ming asked.

"No," Manager Huang Xing said.

According to the information they had received, the Red Flood Dragon Clan had not dispatched too many people to capture the child.

This was mainly because there seemed to be some disagreement within the Red Flood Dragon Clan regarding how to handle the child.

Coupled with the frequent friction between the Red Flood Dragon Clan and the Golden-Winged Eagle Clan recently, all these reasons combined meant they could not spare too many hands to deal with the child.

Even so, the Red Flood Dragon Clan had still dispatched quite a few experts to capture the child. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the child was caught.

However, there had been a certain variable in this situation. After all, that person had appeared.

It was hard to say now, as that person would not sit idly by. Otherwise, their Wanfu Chamber of Commerce would not have taken the initiative to befriend her.

"As far as I know, Master Yun Hua of Yuanxu Mountain seems to be related to this matter," Lin Ming said slowly.

He really wanted to know what his Revered Master had to do with this matter. Expose his identity? That was impossible. Therefore, Lin Ming asked directly.

"That's right." Manager Huang Xing glanced at Lin Ming with a hint of surprise and said. It seemed this person was not completely ignorant.

"Master Yun Hua was friends with Chi Ruo and Yan Yu. Two hundred years ago, the three of them traveled together."

And during the events of two hundred years ago, Master Yun Hua was nowhere to be seen, as she seemed to have returned to Yuanxu Mountain for some reason.

Chi Ruo's capture happened after she had returned to Yuanxu Mountain; otherwise, given Master Yun Hua's personality, she certainly would have intervened.

Manager Huang Xing did not intend to inform Lin Ming that Master Yun Hua was currently in Cangyuan City. They would certainly keep the whereabouts of such a high-level expert confidential.

However, a thought occurred to Manager Huang Xing. Perhaps this person knew that Master Yun Hua had appeared in Cangyuan City and actually knew the ins and outs of this matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically mentioned Master Yun Hua.

But why would he ask him about things he already knew? This caused a hint of confusion to appear in Manager Huang Xing's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

With Manager Huang Xing's explanation, Lin Ming had a rough idea of the matter and guessed that his Revered Master had come to Cangyuan City, nine times out of ten, for this child. This was quite melodramatic; with a plot like this, could this child be some kind of child of destiny?

"Then I won't disturb you any further, Fellow Daoist Huang," Lin Ming said, rising. He had learned what he wanted to know, so there was no need to stay.

"Not at all. It is my honor to serve you, Fellow Daoist," Manager Huang Xing said hurriedly.

"I will visit again in a month," Lin Ming said.

"The Wanfu Chamber of Commerce welcomes you at any time, Fellow Daoist," Manager Huang Xing said to Lin Ming with a solemn expression. This person was a god of wealth.
