eld.This man before us, young in appearance yet with hair as white as snow... Who, pray tell, is this mysterious figure"My name is Fang Yu." Fang Yu looked at Yun An in front of him and smiled slightl..."Can't fly in" Fang Yu smiled.
"Haha, that's the palace. The Emperor sits inside. We lowly officials wouldn't dare fly in! Of course, someone as strong as Master Fang... flying in would be fine. Your Majesty wouldn't dare do anything to you," Xu Tianlong whispered.
"Then we'll fly in later" Fang Yu asked.
"Well... Master Fang, you do as you please. I and this stinky brat have to go in anyway." Xu Tianlong said.
"Well, then let's go together." Fang Yu said.
The three of them chatted as they walked, slowly approaching the palace.
Along the way, Fang Yu could feel the superiority of being in the imperial city.
The streets are wider than in other cities, and they are lined with shops only, not stalls.
As for pedestrians, they were all dressed in fine silks and brocades, indicating wealth and privilege. There were also many palanquins seen along the way.
This is the Imperial City. Even commoners live better here than in other cities.
Fang Yu and the others walked faster and faster, and soon arrived before the palace.
On either side stood guards, and before them lay the golden steps, like a staircase up a mountain.
"I'm sorry, Master Fang. You'll have to climb the stairs with us." Xu Tianlong said.
"Go ahead," Fang Yu said.
Three people stepped onto the steps and walked toward the main hall.
……
At this moment, inside the main hall.
Xiang Tianhe sat upon the high dragon throne.
Below him, two rows of people stood in the main hall.
These people wore luxurious garments, each with an official hat upon their heads. Every one of them held a high position, powerful figures who could shake the Eternal Imperial Dynasty with a mere stomp of their feet.
The crown prince and the celestial cultivators he brought stood in the middle of the main hall.
"Father, I'm back." The prince didn't lower his head, but kept his eyes downcast, speaking in a calm voice.
xiang tianhe looked at the crown prince, his face as dark as water, his expression unreadable.
"The esteemed guests from the Heavenly Palace have journeyed far, and I hope you find your stay within the imperial palace to be a pleasant one." Xiang Tianhe's gaze swept across Chang Jian behind the Crown Prince, as well as the five disciples of the Heavenly Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor, we have only one purpose for this visit, which is to protect the Holy Son," Chang Jian said slowly. "Therefore, we will basically not leave the East Palace where the Holy Son resides."
"Haha, the palace is as impregnable as a golden fortress, with extremely strict guard forces. The prince is in seclusion within the East Palace, and no one can disturb him," Xiang Tianhe said with a smile.
That remains to be seen.
Just then, Taotao, who was standing behind the crown prince, suddenly spoke up.
She said this with a cold snort, her eyes fixed on Xiang Tianhe. "I hear the Emperor doesn't like his senior brother very much."
As soon as these words were spoken, the high-ranking officials standing on both sides of the main hall all changed color.
None of them had expected that this girl from the celestial palace would, in broad daylight, directly say such a thing!
Does she represent the meaning of Heaven's Palace!
On the dragon throne, Xiang Tianhe appeared remarkably calm.
"Where did you hear about this" Xiang Tianhe looked at Taotao and asked.
"It's spreading everywhere, you don't want your senior brother to break through to the Transcendent Realm, otherwise your position will be in jeopardy! That's why I followed my senior brother back, just to keep an eye on you!" Taotao spoke without any reservation or fear.
This sentence is even more straightforward than before!
And the people of Tiangong, including the prince, standing beside her, did not stop Taotao from speaking.
It's quite clear that Taotao's words... actually represent the stance of the Heavenly Palace!
Xiang Tianhe's face darkened.
He didn't expect the Crown Prince to, on this occasion, use Peach Blossom as a mouthpiece to directly lay bare the situation.
"Hehehe..." Xiang Tianhe let out a dry laugh and said, "Miss Taotao, you're overthinking it. I have no such intentions, and wouldn't do anything like that."
"Humph, just pretend then." Taotao didn't give him any face and let out a cold snort.
Now, Xiang Tianhe's eyes turned completely cold.
This is the Imperial City, the territory of the Eternal Royal Dynasty!
The Celestial Palace sent over these few people, and even had the youngest female disciple among them challenge him. Clearly, they didn't intend to leave him any shred of dignity!
Too arrogant!
Heavenly Palace... truly treating the Eternal Dynasty as their own personal possession!
"Taotuo girl, please watch your words."
At that moment, a tall and imposing man with a fierce face standing to the left of the main hall spoke in a deep voice.
"I'm telling the truth, what are you going to do about it" Taotao retorted without fear.
The man's face was extremely gloomy, his eyes sharp.
And Xiang Tianhe, sitting on the dragon throne, had the same grim expression, his eyes filled with anger.
He can't hold back any longer!
Tiangong's performance didn't take the Eternal Dynasty seriously at all, let alone its emperor!
"This is the palace. You show such disrespect to His Majesty, we can naturally deal with you according to law!" The man said coldly.
"I'm so scared, do you dare touch me Do you even have the ability to" Taotao looked up, her face full of arrogance as she retorted.
The man clenched his fists, his eyes cold as ice.
But he still restrained himself.
Without His Majesty's orders, he couldn't do anything.
As for the others standing on either side of the main hall, they all bowed their heads at this moment, trying their best to keep their expressions and eyes hidden.
No one spoke, only watching the situation unfold silently.
"Taotao, don't be rude."
Just then, within the grand hall's atmosphere, the crown prince finally spoke.
"I'm just taking it out for my senior brother…" Taotao said indignantly.
The prince gave Taotao a look, and she reluctantly shut her mouth.
"Father, if there's nothing else, we shall return to the East Palace." The Crown Prince said.
He did not offer any explanation or clarification for what had just happened.
The attitude is already very clear.
On the dragon throne, Xiang Tianhe's face was ashen with fury.
He placed his two hands, both clenched into fists, on the tray.
"Your Majesty, Xu Tianlong from Tiánlóng City is at the palace gate. He says..."
Just then, a guard from the front gate ran up to report.
Xu Tianlong!
How so fast
"Get him in here!" Xiang Tianhe's face darkened, cutting off the guard at the palace gate.
"Yes!"
The guards at the palace gate withdrew.
At this time, both the people on either side of the main hall and the prince and others in the middle all had puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Your Highness, please wait before leaving. I have someone I would like you to meet," said Emperor Xiang Tianhe from his throne, a twinkle in his eyes as an idea took shape within him. A faint smile graced his lips.
The prince looked at Xiang Tianhe, his eyes narrowing slightly.
After a while, three figures walked in from outside the hall and walked straight ahead.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Xu Tianlong knelt on one knee.
Fan Yu stood motionless, Xu Jia Lu trailing behind him, also without a single movement.
And at that moment, the Crown Prince had already seen Fang Yu, his face immediately changing.
"No need for formalities, Master Fang. Please come up here." Xiang Tianhe rose to his feet and walked down from the dragon throne, personally stepping forward to greet him.
Such actions caused Chang Jian's brow to furrow.
When they arrived, Xiang Tianhe didn't even bother to stand up.
But right now, Xiang Tianhe personally greeted the three people who had just arrived.
