At night, the Imperial City was very lively, and the Imperial Palace was even livelier. First of all, the Old King had ordered the royal chefs to prepare top-notch dishes. Moreover, the dishes were dishes that even the Old King could only eat a few times a year. The ingredients had to be transported across borders. However, this time, the dishes were not for the Old King's consumption, but for Fa Xuan.
The second thing was that the old king immediately deposed Fa Chun as the crown prince and returned to being a prince. The appointment of a new crown prince would be discussed later. The third thing was that while Mu Feng rescued Fa Xuan, he also defeated the elders of the Sunlight Empire. Overnight, all the disciples of the Sunlight Empire retreated from the border.
That news made the Royal Family of the Faran Empire even more excited. They invited Lin Feng to the Palace of the Universe that very night. The old emperor was going to have a banquet again, but this time, it was a family banquet. Apart from Fa Xuan, who was seriously injured, Lin Feng was the only outsider.
The other good news was that the Imperial Teacher of the Faran Empire had finally come back. The Emperor was holding a banquet to welcome him back.
It was already very late at night. Lin Feng had been invited to the Palace of the Cosmos. When he entered the Palace of the Cosmos, he felt hot and smelled delicious food. His appetite was very good.
Fa Xuan was sitting on a chair, he looked weak. His broken blood vessels hadn't recovered yet, and because of Lin Feng's last kick, he had almost died. The old country's emperor didn't doubt Lin Feng's words at all.
Fa Xuan looked at Lin Feng, but Lin Feng shook his head. Fa Xuan nodded and didn't say anything.
Lin Feng walked to the only table on the second floor and clasped his fists in front of his chest. He looked at the old man and Fa Duo. It was the first time Lin Feng had seen the old man, but he could sense from his Qi that he wasn't an ordinary cultivator.
He was also a half-step God Emperor powerhouse. Lin Feng had already seen a half-step God Emperor powerhouse, the Taiqing Sect elder. This was the second one.
"Master, Elder Fa Duo." Lin Feng didn't know the old man, so he only greeted the two people in front of him.
"Haha, Mu Feng, you're finally here. Sit down." The Old Monarch's complexion was very good and his mood was even better. It was evident that he was very satisfied with this matter.
"Thank you, Senior." Lin Feng smiled indifferently and found a place to sit down. Apart from Fa Xuan, Fa Duo had already become a supreme divine Zun and was about to break through to the Half Step God Emperor Realm. The old country's emperor had broken through to the second layer of the God Emperor Realm.
The last one was the Imperial Teacher of the Faran Empire, a half-step God Emperor. Lin Feng knew he couldn't compete with him, but if he risked his life, he might be able to injure him.
"Is that the Mu Feng that you've always told me about?" asked the Imperial Teacher, looking at Lin Feng. Then, he smiled at the old emperor.
"Yes, this is the Woodmaple that I've been telling you about. You've been away for a long time, and now that you're back, you've gotten to know each other." Said the old emperor nodding and smiling. He looked at Lin Feng enviously. If only Lin Feng was his son, he wouldn't have to worry about the future of the Faran Empire.
"Not bad. Your foundation is solid and you're already a Supreme Ultimate God at such a young age. You're even able to fight Elder Fa Duo to a draw. Not bad." The Imperial Teacher could not help but nod after hearing the old emperor's praise. He could tell at a glance that Lin Feng had great potential and was very strong.
Elder Fa Duo was a little embarrassed. After knowing that Mu Feng was Lin Feng and his master, Elder Fa Duo's thoughts became more and more complicated. If the battle between him and Lin Feng had gone to the end, Lin Feng would have been the winner and not him.
Lin Feng's strength had long been above him, and he had only recently broken through to the Supreme Ultimate God Realm. However, Lin Feng was already a Supreme Ultimate God when he arrived at the Faran Empire. For some reason, he could not see through Lin Feng's strength.
"Yes, if it wasn't for Mu Feng, I'm afraid that Xuan 'er wouldn't have been rescued, and the border wouldn't have returned to the empire's hands. Tell me, what reward do you want? As the Emperor, I'll definitely satisfy you." The old emperor's face was full of excitement, and his smile was even more hearty. It showed how excited he was today.
Lin Feng listened to the old emperor's words and calmly glanced at Fa Xuan. The latter nodded as he understood what Lin Feng was looking at him and rushed to say, "Emperor, I …"
"What Emperor? I'm your Imperial Father, so call me Imperial Father from now on." When the Old King heard the way Fa Xuan addressed him, he scolded with a slightly displeased expression. Hearing this, Elder Fa Duo and the Old Imperial Tutor laughed out loud. They knew that the Old King's heart was already leaning towards Fa Xuan.
Fa Xuan was startled, and his heart slightly fluctuated when he heard the old emperor's words. However, after being abandoned for so many years, how could a few words be enough to pluck his heart back?
Fa Xuan nodded and said to the old emperor, "Imperial Father, I have a presumptuous request, and I hope that Imperial Father can agree to it."
"Haha, you also have a presumptuous request, but this condition is for Mu Feng, I'm afraid …"
"Senior, I'll give this condition to the Third Prince. I'm very happy to see that your relationship has been restored." Lin Feng interrupted the old emperor, indicating that he didn't care.
The old emperor looked at Lin Feng in surprise, and a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes. However, he didn't know that all of this was a conspiracy between Fa Xuan and Lin Feng.
"Alright, since Mu Feng, my little friend, doesn't want anything, then I'll give this condition to you. Say it, Xuan 'er, I'll agree to anything you want today." The old emperor was very excited and also very straightforward.
Fa Xuan glanced at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice, "Imperial Father, please release my abandoned concubine and my mother."
When Fa Xuan said that, his eyes became slightly red and tears welled up in his eyes, but they didn't fall.
When he heard that, Lin Feng was also stunned. Fa Xuan's mother was also imprisoned in the Cold Palace? It was no wonder that Fa Xuan had so much resentment towards the Faran Empire and the old king.
When Fa Xuan finished speaking, the entire palace fell into a short period of silence. The smile on the old emperor's face immediately disappeared, and a trace of complicated and warm anger appeared in his eyes.
"Xuan 'er, how could you say that?" The expression on the Old Emperor's face changed again and again, and his tone became even colder. Seeing this, the only hope in Fa Xuan's heart was also shattered. He finally understood that the Old Emperor's favorable impression towards him was because of his own abilities, and not because of their bloodline.
Even if the old emperor gave him the throne in the future, it wouldn't be because of the love between a father and a son like the love between a father and a son like Fa Chun. It was purely for the sake of the empire, to see how strong and loyal he was.
Fa Xuan suddenly had the impression that his father was extremely cold and detached. He even started to wonder if he was really his own son. Fa Xuan glanced at Lin Feng helplessly.
Lin Feng also sensed that the old emperor was very conflicted about this issue. He didn't like the idea of the abandoned concubine in the Cold Palace.
Sighed Lin Feng. He had underestimated the problem. Bringing Yan Ran Xue out of the Ice Palace wasn't going to be that easy.
Fa Duo had been observing Lin Feng's emotions. When he saw Lin Feng's expression change again and again, he immediately guessed what his master was thinking and why he had come to the empire.
Thus, Fa Duo raised his head and looked at the old emperor, whose face was already gloomy, and said, "Your Majesty, there are many abandoned concubines in the Cold Palace, why don't you release some of them?"
"Eh? Fa Duo, you want me to release people too? "The old emperor frowned and slightly opened his mouth to show that he was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, first of all, Prince Fa Xuan and the border territory have returned. This is a joyous day, so you should pardon them. The Cold Palace is naturally among them."
"Second, the third prince's mother is also among them. You admire the prince so much, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to release a weak woman who doesn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. Besides, you are so magnanimous, so you shouldn't care about such a small matter."
"Finally, many of the abandoned concubines in the Cold Palace have interfered with the politics of the Imperial Court, but one of them isn't your concubine, she's Fa Chun's concubine. Now that Fa Chun has been crippled, she …"
When Fa Duo said that, he looked at Lin Feng. He noticed that when Lin Feng heard about Yan Ran Xue, he looked nervous. Fa Duo knew that Lin Feng had come for Yan Ran Xue.
"Your little master is thinking about the Crown Princess? Tsk tsk. " Fa Duo didn't know what had happened between Lin Feng and Yan Ran Xue in the past. He just thought that Lin Feng liked Yan Ran Xue because she was really beautiful. She was like a celestial being who had transcended the mortal world. Even the old emperor liked her.
But it seemed like this way, the relationship between the Old King and Master would become hostile. Once Yan Ranxue was released, and Fa Chun was removed from his position as the Crown Prince, Yan Ranxue would regain her freedom.
So what was Yan Ran Xue's future?
