Sean Shaw Talks About the Past

After brewing the tea, she sat down across from him and handed him a cup.

Sean picked it up and took a sip, then suddenly looked at her. "It's delicious."

"I made it with dew from the immortal plum tree outside my door. I don't just serve it to anyone," Lucia Lu said.

Sean's face turned a little red.

He’s blushing already... Can a guy this shy really want to be Crown Prince?

"When you were in seclusion cultivating, what technique were you practicing?" Lucia Lu asked.

At that time, the Gatekeeper, Soren Lann, and Divine Lord Lucas Lu all worked hard to restore Senior Bianca's ruined appearance.

The Imperial Dao... He really is aiming for the throne.

Lucia Lu didn’t say anything.

"My Father Emperor says I’m cultivating very well."

Lucia Lu: "Oh."

"Another cup, please." He took the initiative this time.

Lucia Lu obliged and poured him another.

He said, "Are you curious why Senior Bianca attacked the Radiant Palace?"

"You know?" Lucia Lu asked.

"The night before we set out, I asked Father Emperor. He told me all about it."

"So what happened?" Lucia Lu asked.

"She was a hopelessly devoted, tragic woman," Sean said. "Two hundred thousand years ago, she fell into demonic cultivation for Soren Lann."

"Soren Lann?"

Sean nodded. "After she fell, she did a lot of bad things. But when the Demon Sealing Well was about to close, the Gatekeeper, remembering their former sisterly bond, personally rescued her from the Demon Realm. From then on, she never harmed anyone again and lived in seclusion in Wildlands City."

"Oh... and then?"

Soren Lann had a beloved junior named Ethan Sang, who reached peak High God at a young age. His cultivation, temperament, and looks were all highly praised. Have you ever heard his name?

"I don't think that name appears in the royal family's Clan Registry," Lucia Lu said, puzzled.

"Exactly," Sean said. "His name was wiped from the record."

"Erased? Why? And what does this Ethan Sang High God have to do with Senior Bianca?"

Sean nodded. "He became a disciple of Divine Lord Lucas Lu to study medicine.

At that time, the Gatekeeper, Soren Lann, and Divine Lord Lucas Lu all worked hard to restore Senior Bianca's ruined appearance.

After the Gatekeeper and Soren Lann passed away, Divine Lord Lucas Lu was entrusted with their wishes and never gave up.

Finally, one day he cracked the code!

So he took his disciple with him to treat her. That was... about 140 or 150 thousand years ago."

Lucia Lu nodded. "So that’s how they met?"

"Yes," Sean said. "They say Ethan Sang personally healed her—and fell for her at first sight. But sadly, her heart was still set on Soren Lann and she couldn’t accept him."

"And then?"

"After that, a succession struggle broke out in the royal family. Ethan Sang was framed for using forbidden arts to seize the Divine Lord’s seat—his name was erased from the Clan Registry and he was sentenced to death."

Sean said, "It was Senior Bianca who saved him. She placed his dying body into the Frostbound Casket."

"Frostbound Casket?" Lucia Lu was surprised. "Is that the legendary casket in Drake Abyss?"

"Exactly!" Sean said. "He was sealed inside for over a hundred thousand years. It wasn’t until about a thousand years ago, when my mother came, that he was finally saved."

Lucia Lu: "So that’s how it happened! And then?"

"After that, Ethan Sang and Senior Bianca got married! She helped him find the evidence to clear his name, and they lived happily together."

"But just as the Qilin Divine Lord was nearing the end of his life, all the divination hexagrams and signs pointed to Ethan Sang as the most likely successor."
