The pretty young woman, Qiu Chanyi, opened her mouth, her face showing regret.
Lina glanced at Jinlian and said, "Daoist Master, your vision is too narrow."
Master Jinlian was furious. This little dark-skinned guy dared to say he had a narrow mind.
"You do not know, but Chief Minister Wang once said that the Heavenly King has no private affairs."
"Princess Lin'an was naturally devoted to Li Tianwang, but her mother threatened to kill herself to prevent the princess from marrying him."
"Li Tianwang said that the bride will enter the mansion sooner or later, so there is no need to rush it."
"Therefore, for the time being, there will only be one empress and three concubines."
"Oh! How touching." Qiu Chanyi's eyes were misty, as if she was deeply moved.
"What is a framed frame?" The pretty girl was stunned.
"Sorry, just pretend you didn't hear that. That's the Heavenly King's pet name for His Highness Lin'an." Lina blushed slightly.
……
a few days later.
Martial Arts Alliance.
Inside the main hall of Quanrong Mountain.
Cao Qingyang sat high in the hall, while the leaders of more than a dozen sects sat below him.
The male and female martial artists were all fourth-rank cultivators, and they were all local tyrants in the mountains of various counties.
One of them was a veiled, alluring woman with foxy eyes and a curvaceous figure.
Xiao Yuenu, the owner of Wanhua Tower, was hailed as the "Queen of Flowers" of Wanhua Tower, which speaks volumes about her charm.
Behind him stood two disciples of the Wan Hua Lou.
The man was tall and thin, with a high and broad forehead and thick lips.
At first glance, its appearance is somewhere between a human and a monkey, and its blue eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts.
The female disciple's nickname was Rongrong, the Soul-Stealing Hand. After being singled out by Li Chang'an, Xiao Yuenu specially accepted her as a disciple.
Xiao Yuenu and Rongrong attracted the attention of many people, both openly and secretly.
Cao Qingyang's square face, which had been furrowed with worry for the past few days, was now relaxed, and he appeared to be in a very good mood.
"Gentlemen, good news!"
Lan Huan, the leader of the Luya Sword Pavilion, asked, "Alliance Leader, what makes you so happy?"
"Could it be that the Daoist priests of the Earth Sect have come to lend a hand again?"
Cao Qingyang needs a lotus root to help his ancestor Kou Yangzhou break through to the second rank.
However, having failed to reach an agreement with the Heaven and Earth Society, they planned to join forces with the Earth Sect and the Demonic Path to seize power.
"No, no, no, we won't cooperate with those evil Taoists."
"King Li is coming to Jianzhou in person. I will discuss the lotus root matter with him."
Clang!
The teacup in Xiao Yuenu's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
Tea and tea leaves were scattered all over the floor, and surprise and joy flashed alternately in the charming eyes of the Wan Hua Lou Zhu.
However, her unusual behavior was not noticeable, because everyone else was equally shocked.
"His Majesty the Heavenly King is coming in person!"
“King Li and Leader Cao are sworn brothers, so naturally everything is negotiable.”
"Yes, it feels like just yesterday that Master Li single-handedly wiped out eight major sects."
"Gentlemen... Master Li has entered the imperial court and now he even has more power over the emperor."
"Yes, the imperial court is not like the martial world; people's hearts can change."
"The nine-colored lotus seed can enlighten all things, and even ordinary iron can be imbued with a spirit. This is a priceless treasure..."
……
"Please rest assured, everyone. I am still corresponding with Li Tianwang, so your worries are unnecessary."
"The matter of sworn brothers should naturally not be mentioned again, but the matter of lotus root is entirely negotiable."
"Besides, we don't want lotus seeds, we just want a section of lotus root."
After discussing it for a while, everyone felt it was a great thing, and the meeting ended happily.
Xiao Yuenu, accompanied by two disciples, flew back to the Wan Hua Lou.
Having just stepped through the gate and seen off his disciple Rongrong, the man in blue breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Great, we've finally arrived, and I can finally speak."
"Lady Yukihime, you don't need to restrict me. I'm very good at keeping my mouth shut."
"You just smashed a cup at the Martial Arts Alliance because you were thinking of Li Lang, you rascal, you finally remembered me..."
Sensing Xiao Yuenu's icy gaze, the man in blue finally shut his mouth.
“Protector Ape, you still haven’t told me what you’re doing in Jianzhou. This isn’t your territory.”
The ape protector grinned. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that you won't let me speak as soon as you see me."
"You said you'd let me speak when it's just the two of us."
"I've come to see you because I have something very important to discuss."
"This is serious! Is it related to the Empress's disappearance?"
At that moment, another sweet, delicate voice rang out.
"Sister Xueji, you are indeed very clever. It is related to the disappearance of the Empress."
A woman who was no less beautiful than Xiao Yuenu descended from the pavilion.
She had a captivating oval face, delicate red lips, a straight and elegant nose, and long, fan-like eyelashes.
"Night Princess, you've come after all. Is there news from Her Majesty?"
The Ape Protector suddenly spoke up, "Lady Night Princess is thinking that she finally has a chance to leave the Southern Frontier and come to find Li Lang..."
Night Princess's smile suddenly froze on her face.
"The Li Lang you're talking about, could it be the same person...?" The Ape Protector scratched his head, looking utterly puzzled.
Then, the two adults looked at him with a cold gaze.
……
The Office of the Provincial Administration Commissioner of Jianzhou.
"What? Is this true?" The provincial governor broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing that Li Chang'an was coming.
The commander said, "Recently, many martial arts practitioners have come to Jianzhou."
"They gathered in inns, restaurants, and brothels, spreading the news that a rare treasure would be born in Jianzhou."
"However, since the location where the treasure appeared was the Yuezhi Manor outside the city, we didn't pay much attention to it."
The provincial governor immediately slammed his fist on the table, "Quickly dispatch troops to protect the Yuezhi Manor!"
The capital city, the Heavenly King's Palace.
On Li Chang'an's large bed, Zhong Li hugged her legs and huddled at the foot of the bed.
She was wrapped tightly in a flaxen robe, as if it were the most precious thing in the world to her.
Her long hair covered half of her face, leaving the other half with a pure and ethereal beauty, fair and flawless.
"Senior Sister Zhong, please tell me, how can I break through to the Array Master level?"
Chu Caiwei sat on the edge of the bed, biting into a chicken leg, her bright, sparkling eyes blinking.
Her chicken essence finally gained recognition, and she successfully broke through from alchemist to become a fifth-grade prophet.
A prophet must be with people of great fortune to withstand misfortune.
"Master Jianzheng said that you successfully broke through to the Array Master level after being by Li Chang'an's side for more than half a year."
"Now, you can leave Li Chang'an, and I will stay by his side instead."
"My teacher told me to ask you some questions, please help me."
Zhong Li's red lips parted slightly, "Who told you... I broke through to become a formation master..."
"That's what Teacher Jianzheng said." Chu Caiwei tilted her head and smiled.
"Professor Jianzheng... has misled me."
Zhong Li's voice was barely audible, and her beautiful eyes held a hint of melancholy.
