Wan Miaoyan inclined her head and stared at the departing figures in the air. Although the auras of some of these people weren't strong and their cultivation bases might be on the same level as her, the aura they exuded was sufficient to make one feel what it means to be a supreme character.
"Miaoyan, you only lack an opportunity. This trip to the royal capital is your good fortune. Not only do you want to enter the Darknorth Immortal Mountain for cultivation, I hope that you would be able to gain some good fortune in the royal capital and enter the tutelage of an expert. The Wan Clan is no longer suitable for you." At this moment, Wan Miaoyan's father, Wan Qingshan, spoke.
"I wish to take a look at the royal palace." Wan Miaoyan spoke in a light voice.
"Since we are already in the royal capital, we naturally have to take a look outside the royal palace." Wan Qingshan nodded, his eyes filled with reverence.
They came from a small city in the dynasty and might only be able to come to the royal capital a few times in their lives. To them, the royal palace was a place of pilgrimage.
"Going to the royal palace to take a look?" The people in the surroundings were all extremely agitated, as though they were on a pilgrimage.
"To think that I would be able to see the royal palace of my dynasty in my lifetime." Wan Zhuqing who was in the sedan also sighed, his state of heart fluctuating slightly. The two young men beside him were much calmer.
"Wentian, you are so young and might have great accomplishments in the future. Don't you yearn for it?" Wan Zhuqing stared at Qin Wentian.
"I naturally yearn for it." Qin Wentian smiled and nodded. Before this, Wan Zhuqing didn't dare to believe him when he casually mentioned the matter between Beiming Nongyue and Li Yufeng. He naturally wouldn't say that he could freely enter and exit the royal palace of the Evergreen Kingdom.
They continued on their way, and after a long time, they finally arrived outside the royal palace. The three of them exited the sedan and stared at the majestic city in front of them. It was extremely majestic, with layers upon layers of palaces stretching up into the clouds. It was like a majestic city that descended from the heavens. A single glance at it would cause reverence to appear in the hearts of people, as though they wanted to prostrate themselves and kowtow to it.
Zhiyin also seriously stared ahead, as though she wanted to carve the image of this majestic city into her mind.
"You want to draw it again?" Qin Wentian stared at the serious expression in Zhiyin's eyes as he smiled.
"Mhm." Zhiyin nodded lightly. Such a scene, if she could stay in the painting, would definitely be extremely beautiful.
"One day, I will also step into such a majestic city." One of the two Heaven's Chosen, Wan Yiming, had a sharp gaze as flames burned in his eyes. Wan Miaoyan silently stared ahead, her heart was also fluctuating. She clenched her fists as her beautiful eyes flashed with a strong conviction.
Looking at the figures going in and out of the Imperial Palace, those were all high and mighty figures. One day, they would also become such people.
"Let's go." Wan Miaoyan calmly spoke. Wan Qingshan nodded. The group of them changed their direction and after that, they inquired about the location of the Darknorth Immortal Mountain before continuing on their way.
The Darknorth Immortal Mountain was located not far away from the royal capital. There was a stretch of mountain range here, and outside of this mountain range, there was an independent region that resembled a city within a city. This region was a place one had to pass through if they wanted to enter the Darknorth Immortal Mountain, and it was also a place where experts who wished to enter the immortal mountain had to stop.
Therefore, it was naturally extremely prosperous. Especially when the ten-year period was about to arrive, there would be a sea of people, and the streets would be empty. Experts from all over the world would gather in all the inns and restaurants, and it was extremely lively.
After the people of the Wan Clan arrived, they found an inn to rest their feet.
Each of the inns here was extremely large and had independent courtyards, as well as places to enjoy delicacies.
At this moment, the people of the Wan Clan were seated in a circle, enjoying immortal-tasting delicacies. Many of the delicacies that could be enjoyed by immortals were cooked using immortal herbs and spirit beasts. If not, how could immortals be able to satisfy their cravings for good food? With regards to ordinary food, immortals no longer needed it. They wouldn't be interested in it at all.
The people of the Wan Clan were all enjoying themselves. These delicacies were all extremely expensive, and they spent a lot of immortal stones on them. It was rare for them to come to the royal capital, and the people who came here were all elites of their respective clans. They naturally wanted to be a little extravagant.
"Let me offer a toast to everyone. Let us congratulate Miaoyan and Wan Yiming in advance for being able to enter the Darknorth Immortal Mountain and break through to the immortal king realm, bringing glory to our clan." Wan Qingshan raised his cup to everyone as he spoke. Everyone raised their cups and drank with the exception of a small table at the side. Among Qin Wentian's group of three, only Wan Zhuqing raised his cup. Qin Wentian and Zhiyin acted as though they didn't hear it.
This Wan Qingshan only congratulated Wan Miaoyan and Wan Yiming in advance. Wasn't he ignoring Zhiyin as well?
"Sister Miaoyan and elder brother naturally have no problems. In the future, our Wan Clan would have several immortal kings. At that time, I want to see how the Yan Clan can still be so arrogant." Wan Yiyao smiled. The group of them were filled with confidence, as though they were consoling themselves.
The people at the side glanced over, but most of them merely smiled. For those who came to the Darknorth Immortal Mountain, who didn't want to break through to the immortal king realm? All of them were filled with confidence but how could it be so easy to step into the immortal king realm?
"Everyone." At this moment, an old man with the air of a transcendent being clasped his hands. The people of the Wan Clan turned their gazes to this old man only to hear Wan Qingshan speaking, "Old sir, what guidance do you have for us?"
Just like what he said, in the royal capital, Wan Qingshan didn't dare to casually offend anyone.
This old man pointed to a table at the side. Over there, a young man with an elegant demeanor was drinking alone, exuding an air of arrogance. Behind him, there was an expert quietly standing there, like a bodyguard.
"This is the young master of my clan, a member of the Duanmu Clan." That old man introduced. After that, Wan Qingshan's expression turned heavy. He clasped his hands to the young man, "Wan Qingshan pays his respects to young master Duanmu."
"Mhm." The young man nodded, as arrogant as ever. He didn't even glance at the Wan Clan. Wan Qingshan's eyes flashed. After that, he slowly lowered his hand, feeling trepidation in his heart.
"Drinking alone is boring. Can I invite a young miss over to drink with me?" That young man calmly spoke, placing his wine cup down. His gaze landed on Wan Miaoyan. Wan Miaoyan's looks were extraordinary and would naturally attract attention.
"This …" Wan Qingshan's expression froze. Wan Miaoyan's eyes flashed with a strange light. This was the first time they met and he actually invited someone to drink with him? Such an abrupt action was extremely disrespectful. However, the other party was a descendant of an aristocrat clan in the royal capital. How could the Wan Clan dare to offend him?
"Why? Are you not willing?" The young man frowned as a cold intent gushed forth.
The gazes of the people in the surroundings turned over. Some had looks of pity on their faces while others had the attitude of watching a good show.
"Naturally not." Wan Qingshan spoke. He turned his gaze to Qin Wentian, "Zhiyin, go and accompany young master Duanmu for a drink."
Wan Zhuqing and Zhiyin's expressions both changed. The gaze of that young man shifted from Wan Miaoyan and landed on Zhiyin.
Zhiyin's aura was simple and elegant, clean and transcendent. The young man's interest was piqued as he spoke, "Remove your veil."
Zhiyin clenched her fists as her body stiffened. Evidently, she was extremely unwilling to be threatened by a man.
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with sharpness. He directly stared into the eyes of that young man and spoke, "Young master Duanmu."
"Mhm?" The young man glanced at Qin Wentian as he frowned, "Did I speak to you?"
"I only wish to ask what sort of aristocrat clan is the Duanmu Clan in the royal capital? Is it an immortal-emperor aristocrat clan or an immortal-king aristocrat clan?" Qin Wentian laughed. His eyes gleamed with a golden light, as though he could see through everything. The eyes of the young man flickered with a strange light. He suddenly had a feeling that all his secrets would be seen through by Qin Wentian's eyes.
"You, what did you say?" The young man's voice turned cold. The old man in front of the Wan Clan also radiated a cold intent as he coldly laughed at the Wan Clan.
Wan Qingshan's expression changed, "Impudent. Do you think you have the qualifications to speak here?"
Qin Wentian's gaze also turned sharp. Before this, on account of Wan Zhuqing, he couldn't be bothered with these words of contempt and couldn't be bothered with these people.
However, Wan Qingshan didn't hesitate to push Zhiyin away. How shameless.
Qin Wentian finally understood why Wan Zhuqing asked him to come along. Most probably, Wan Zhuqing knew that it might not be a good thing for Zhiyin to travel together with the Wan Clan.
"As an elder of the Wan Clan, the first thing you thought of when you encountered such a situation is to sacrifice your own niece. How shameless are you?" Qin Wentian spoke in disdain. "If you don't want to interfere, just ignore it. There's no need for you to interfere in our matters."
"You …" Wan Qingshan didn't expect Qin Wentian to be so impudent. Wan Miaoyan also furrowed her brows.
At this moment, Qin Wentian stared at the young man, "When the Darknorth Immortal Mountain opens, there are all sorts of people here. Do you know that many people came from other smaller cities and didn't dare to offend anyone in the royal capital? You are making use of the fear of others to flaunt your might. Very smart. If there are people who were frightened and fainted, wouldn't your next step be to send them away with you?"
The expression of the young man changed. He stared at Qin Wentian, "What are you talking about?"
Qin Wentian's lips curled up in a cold smile. Abruptly, a cold intent gushed forth as he roared, "Scram!"
This voice was like thunder, causing many tables to buzz. The young man's heart pounded violently, he was frightened by Qin Wentian's gaze as his expression turned unsightly.
"Very well, just wait." The young man stood up, leaving behind a domineering voice. After that, he brought his guards and left, causing everyone to be taken aback.
"Since when is it your turn to interfere in the matters of my Wan Clan?" Wan Miaoyan frowned when she saw the young man leaving. If this young man truly had a powerful background, wouldn't her Wan Clan be implicated?
"There's no need for me to interfere. Why didn't you directly accompany them earlier?" Qin Wentian stared at Wan Miaoyan as he calmly spoke.
"Impudent!" Wan Miaoyan's voice was extremely cold. But just as she spoke, she discovered that the young man had already retreated back to where they stood. In front of them, a few figures appeared.
"Everyone, junior has unintentionally offended all of you. Please forgive me." The young man's expression was extremely complicated as he clasped his hands.
"Before this, there were already many incidents of beautiful women being harmed in this region. You were the one who did it, right?" At this moment, a young man who had been silent all this while calmly spoke, causing the gazes of everyone to turn over.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." That person naturally denied.
"It's fine even if you deny it. Since you dared to borrow the name of my Duanmu Clan, you should know the ending." The young man calmly spoke. He slowly stood up and turned around. After that, everyone saw a handsome countenance that exuded an extraordinary aura.
"Young master." Those who forced the young man back bowed in unison, causing the countenance of the fake young man to turn pale.
"It's really the young master of the Duanmu Clan." This time around, the people at the various tables all felt their hearts trembling. Who would have thought that there would be such a coincidence? The fake young master actually encountered the real young master of the Duanmu Clan. This was simply a dead end!
