The Evergreen Kingdom was different from the Dongshengxian Gate. The Evergreen Kingdom was a country, while the Dongshengxian Gate governed the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures. Hence, the rulers of the various prefectures all had different titles.
If the status of the Evergreen Marquis was placed in the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures of the past, he would be equivalent to the Prefecture Lord of a prefecture. His authority was towering, and he was an immortal king expert.
Not only that, the feudal vassals of the Evergreen Kingdom were all appointed by the upper echelons of the Immortal Empire. Many years ago, after the Changqing The Great succeeded in seizing control of the Immortal Empire, the feudal vassals of the Evergreen Marquis were all characters that the Changqing The Great trusted.
The Marquis Manor of the Evergreen Marquis was majestic and majestic, standing in the center of the city. The outer perimeter of the manor was heavily guarded by troops of soldiers.
At this moment, two silhouettes walked over. It was a man and a woman. They walked to the entrance of the manor and stared at the straight passageway before them that led to the depths of the manor. It was a simple yet majestic sight.
"Halt." Upon seeing Qin Wentian and Qing'er approaching, a soldier stepped forward and pointed the long spear in his hand at them. "Outsiders are not permitted to enter the Marquis Manor."
"I wish to see the Evergreen Marquis." Qing`er coldly spoke as she stared ahead. Upon seeing Qing`er's extraordinary demeanor and directly saying that she wanted to see the Changan Marquis, the armored soldier didn't dare to be slow. One of them asked, "Who are you?"
Qing'er took out a jade medallion and stretched it out. This medallion was imbued with runes of light and the word 'Qing'er' was engraved on it. The guard glanced at it and frowned. This seemed to be the Immortal Empire Medallion, but what did the word 'Qing'er' mean?
When they glanced at Qing'er again, their eyes involuntarily narrowed. One of them asked, "Are you the Princess?"
"That's me." Qing 'er said indifferently. In an instant, the two guards landed on the ground and knelt on one knee, "This subordinate greets the Princess."
The soldiers inside were all shocked. After that, they turned their gazes over. An immortal-foundation expert walked over and upon seeing the token in Qing 'er's hand, he too knelt on one knee and greeted, "We pay our respects to Princess."
Behind him, the soldiers all knelt down on one knee, extremely respectful.
"Get up, I have something to see Chang An Hou about." Qing'Er said indifferently.
"Princess, please follow me." That immortal-foundation expert stood up. The soldiers in the surroundings parted to the left and right, opening up a path for them. Qing'er and Qin Wentian stepped forward, moving through the central passageway.
"Reporting to the Marquis that Her Highness Princess Qing 'er has arrived." A voice rang out. An instant later, similar voices echoed throughout the Marquis Manor, drifting towards the depths of the manor.
In a majestic great hall, two figures sat there, enjoying tea. These two seemed to be husband and wife. The man was incomparably ferocious while the woman was elegant and graceful, exuding an extraordinary aura. Clearly, they had been in a high position for a long time, exuding a sense of imposingness.
"Reporting to the Marquis that Her Highness Princess Qing 'er has arrived …"
At this moment, the voices drifted into the great hall. The two of them exchanged glances as a look of shock could be seen in their eyes.
The daughter of the Everpeace Great Emperor, His Majesty, Princess Qing 'er?
However, the two of them were immortal kings. Their expressions instantly returned to normal. The Everpeace Marquis stood up and spoke, "Since Her Highness is here, let us go and welcome her."
"I heard that Princess Qing 'er went to the City of Ancient Emperors to temper herself. Now that she is back, she should be passing by our Everpeace Marquis Manor and is here to borrow the teleportation array to head to the royal palace." The eyes of the Marquis Madam flashed with wisdom. Her guess was extremely accurate, and she instantly knew the purpose of Qing 'er's visit.
"Why should we care about her purpose? Since she is here, we naturally have to treat her well and escort her back." The Everpeace Marquis spoke.
However, the eyes of the Marquis Madam flickered unceasingly. After that, she smiled, "Of course we have to treat her well and escort her back. It's just that it wasn't easy for Princess Qing 'er to come to our manor. We naturally have to grab hold of this opportunity and inform Fan`er to interact with the Princess."
"You always have so many ideas. However, it's not like you haven't heard of the personality of the Princess Qing 'er. She's a cold beauty and has never shown any mercy to others. In addition, although Fan`er's talent isn't bad, he is still a little lacking when compared to Princess Qing' er." The Everpeace Marquis seemed to know his own limitations.
"My father is already a half-step immortal emperor. He established the empire for the Everpeace Immortal Emperor and was conferred the title of King. Fan`er is my son, the grandson of my father. How could his status be lacking?" The eyes of the Marquis Madam gleamed with sharpness. "Right now, my father is in urgent need of a connection with the Princess Qing 'er. Even if this Princess Qing' er doesn't like Fan`er, what harm is there in being friends with her?"
"Your words are not without reason. But since the Princess is borrowing the teleportation array, I'm afraid she won't stay here for long." The Everpeace Marquis spoke.
"If you enter closed-door seclusion, no one in the Everpeace Marquis Manor would have the authority to use the teleportation array. You can go into closed-door seclusion now and leave everything to me to handle." The Marquis Madam's voice was decisive, swift and decisive. The Everpeace Marquis nodded, "Fine. You handle this matter well."
After speaking, he actually walked into the depths of the great hall.
The Marquis Madam stood up, her eyes gleaming with sharpness. After that, she walked out of the great hall.
Qin Wentian and Qing`er continued on their way through the manor. This manor was extremely vast, and they quickened their pace. At this moment, from afar, a group of silhouettes could be seen flying over. The person in the lead was a beautiful middle-aged woman with a smile on her face, exuding a cultured and refined aura. She came before Qing`er and bowed, "I pay my respects to Princess."
"Princess, this is the Marquis Madam, the daughter of the Cloud King." An immortal-foundation expert introduced. Princess Qing 'er had never been to the Marquis Manor before, but she should know of the Cloud King.
"Madam is too polite. Is the Marquis not around?" Qing 'er nodded, her tone was extremely polite. She naturally knew of the Cloud King. This was an extremely powerful nobility in the Evergreen Immortal Emperor's palace and had contributed greatly to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor's ascension to the throne.
"The Marquis is currently in closed-door seclusion and is at a critical juncture. He will exit within a few days. Princess, please enjoy the banquet." The Marquis Madam politely gestured with an inviting gesture. Qing 'er didn't reject and directly walked forward, "When will the Marquis exit seclusion? I wish to use the teleportation array to head to the royal palace."
"Is Princess in a hurry?" The Marquis Madam asked.
"Mhm." Qing 'er nodded. She didn't intend to stay here for long.
"According to the rules of the Immortal Empire, without the Marquis present, no one can activate the teleportation array. Princess, please rest here for a day. After the banquet, I will accompany Princess to the Demon Forest to select a greater demon. If the Marquis doesn't exit seclusion by tomorrow, I will send a demon king to escort Princess there." The Marquis Madam smiled, taking care of everything. Qing 'er had no way to reject. She glanced at Qin Wentian, and Qin Wentian could only nod and smile back at her.
The Marquis Madam naturally saw this scene, but she didn't say anything.
The Marquis Manor was indeed worthy of being a marquis of the Immortal Empire. In such an elegant location, an immortal banquet was immediately prepared. Other than the Marquis himself, many major characters of the Marquis Manor came to pay their respects to Qing 'er.
At this moment, a young man and woman walked over. The young man was handsome while the young woman was beautiful.
"Fan`er, Lian`er, quickly pay your respects to Her Highness Qing 'er. The Princess is a natural born king, you two have to learn from her." The Marquis Madam stared at the two of them. The young man was dressed simply, yet he didn't lose his elegance. As for the young woman, she exuded an aura of spirituality. They walked to Qing 'er. Xia Fan greeted, "Greetings, Princess."
"In the past, I've often heard the name Princess Qing 'er. Who would have thought that Princess Sis is actually so beautiful, just like a fairy." Qing' er smiled. Qing 'er wasn't good at socializing. She merely smiled and nodded at them.
"Princess Sis, can I sit beside you?" Sharlyn giggled. She glanced at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian smiled, "Let me give up my seat."
After speaking, Qing 'er shifted to the side. Sharlyn smiled sweetly at Qin Wentian, "Many thanks. I still don't know where you are from. Since you returned with the Princess from the City of Ancient Emperors, you must be a descendant of immortal kings and emperors as well, right?"
Qin Wentian shook his head. "A senior sent me there, but I'm not a descendant of an immortal king or emperor. Princess Qing 'er and I traveled together, wanting to broaden our horizons and broaden our horizons."
"Oh." Sharlyn's beautiful eyes flickered. After that, she raised her cup to Qing 'er, "Princess Sis, let me toast you. In the future, when I go to the royal palace, can Princess Sis take care of me?"
"Sure." Qing 'er replied. During the banquet, the Marquis Madam and Sharlyn were extremely lively. Both of them were extremely polite, treating Qing' er like an esteemed guest. However, Qing 'er wasn't used to such a scene. Not long after, she suggested, "Why don't we head over there to select a greater demon?"
"There's naturally no problem if Princess says so. Let's disperse." The Marquis Madam stood up and spoke to Qing 'er, "Princess, please."
After speaking, she soared up into the air. Qing 'er and Qin Wentian also soared up into the air. Xia Fan and Sharlyn followed behind, following the Marquis Madam as they soared through the air in a certain direction.
Not long after, they arrived at a vast area. There were many demonic beasts in front of them, the weakest among them was at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. There were even many immortal-ranked demonic beasts with incomparably sharp gazes. These were all extremely powerful demonic beasts. Naturally, there were also many demonic beast rearing experts here, specially for the Marquis Manor.
"Princess, do you need a demonic beast as a mount? There are many greater demons with powerful bloodlines in this Demon Forest. Princess, feel free to choose one." Xia Fan spoke to Qing 'er.
"There's no need." Qing 'er shook her head. Little Rascal who was in her arms glared at Xia Fan.
"Fan`er, accompany the Princess to select a demon king." The Marquis Madam spoke to Xia Fan. Xia Fan nodded his head and turned to Qing 'er, "Princess, the temperament of demon kings is fierce. Let me bring you there."
"Let me help the Princess." Qin Wentian walked up and spoke. Given his intelligence, how could he not see through the Marquis Madam's intentions? In addition to her earlier performance at the immortal banquet, it was clear that she wanted Xia Fan to interact with Qing 'er.
"Mhm, let him go." Qing 'er nodded.
"Princess, the temperament of demon kings is fierce. Strangers are not allowed to interact with them, they might get injured." The Marquis Madam spoke.
Qing 'er frowned. After which, she spoke to the Marquis Madam, "Since this is the case, Madam can accompany me."
The Marquis Madam naturally understood the meaning behind Qing 'er's words. Evidently, Qing' er didn't want to interact with men. She naturally understood that it was better to not overdo it. Hence, she smiled and replied, "Fine, I will accompany the Princess. You all wait here for a moment."
"Okay." Sharlyn smiled sweetly. After which, the Marquis Madam and Qing 'er left together. After they left, Xia Fan's countenance instantly turned cold. He glanced at Qin Wentian, evidently unhappy with Qin Wentian for talking too much earlier.
Qin Wentian acted as though nothing had happened. Sharlyn smiled at him, "Brother Qin, since the Princess is willing to bring you to the Immortal Empire, she must regard you highly. Does she want to recruit you as a subordinate?"
"That should be the case." Qin Wentian faintly replied. He didn't seem to mind at all.
"Oh." Sharlyn nodded her head, smiling at Qin Wentian. "In that case, a slave like you wants to curry favor with a dragon and curry favor with a phoenix?"
