Then, they chatted and laughed with each other in the hall. Since the five Imperial Preceptors of the Qin Empire knew the exact identity of the Imperial Protector, they treated the people of Changyang Prefecture very politely. They had long since put aside the noble identity of the Qin Empire's Imperial Preceptor. The five Imperial Preceptors' attitude greatly satisfied the vanity and honor of Changyang Ba and the dozen or so elders. It made all the higher-ups of Changyang Prefecture feel proud.
Because of the relationship with Jianchen, the status of Changyang Prefecture was like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate, leaping thousands of feet high and turning into a giant dragon. Among the people sitting there, only the King of the Kingdom of Gesun had the lowest status. However, the King did not care about this at all. Instead, he was very excited. He swore that he had never been so excited in his life.
After the people chatted for a while in the Conference Hall of Changyang Prefecture, the banquet was ready. Then, Changyang Ba stood up and warmly invited the distinguished guests to the banquet.
"Xiang'er, come with me!" Changyang Ba affectionately took Jianchen's hand and walked outside. Jianchen could clearly feel that his father's hand was trembling slightly.
The banquet was arranged in a spacious hall. The best maids in Changyang Prefecture were all gathered here. However, there was only one table for the banquet, and only ten chairs were placed.
The five Imperial Preceptors of the Qin Empire, the King of the Kingdom of Gesun, the Family Head of Changyang Prefecture and Chang Bo, as well as Jianchen and his mother, Bi Yuntian, took their seats at the same time.
This arrangement was agreed upon by all the higher-ups of Changyang Prefecture. Although Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian's seniority was not the highest in Changyang Prefecture, it was because they had such an outstanding son that the elders who held all kinds of power in Changyang Prefecture made such an arrangement. It imperceptibly raised their status.
As for Chang Bo, although he was only a housekeeper on the surface, his status in Changyang Prefecture was very special. He deserved to participate in such a high-level banquet.
"Alas, Xiang'er also benefited from a disaster. When he was 15 years old, he was forced to leave home because of some things. He left for six years. None of us expected that Xiang'er would grow to such a height after six years. It's really unbelievable." At the table, Changyang Ba said with a sigh.
"Yes, nephew's talent is really high. It's really unprecedented." His Majesty the King sighed.
Hearing the two's words, the five Imperial Preceptors of the Qin Empire looked at each other. Their eyes were full of shock. Although Jianchen was very young, they thought that Jianchen's age must be older than what he appeared to be. After all, it was impossible to judge a person's age by appearance alone. Now that they heard Changyang Ba's words, the five suddenly understood that Jianchen's age was much younger than they thought. He was only 21 years old.
A 21 year old Heaven Saint Master!
Thinking of this, Xiaotian and the others were shocked. They had previously guessed Jianchen's age. Although Jianchen was less than 50 years old, they thought that he was at least 30 years old. But now, after knowing Jianchen's exact age, the five of them were shocked speechless.
A 21 year old Heaven Saint Master was really unprecedented. The most outstanding genius in the Tianyuan Continent only reached the realm of Heaven Saint Master at 30 years old. But this genius's final achievement was the supreme Holy Emperor!
After this matter, the five Imperial Advisors of the Qinhuang Kingdom secretly made up their minds to use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to curry favor with the Imperial Protector and nurture their relationship to the deepest level. This was because they knew that the youngest Imperial Protector in the history of the Qinhuang Kingdom would most likely become a supreme existence like the Sacred King in the future.
After the banquet ended, the five people did not leave. They gathered again in the Discussion Hall of Changyang Prefecture and continued to chat. It was evening before they all left.
In private, the king of the Kingdom of Gesun found Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian. He said, "In-laws, the war has just ended. This king still has many matters to attend to, so I will have to leave early tomorrow morning. This king hopes that you can enter the imperial palace and discuss the marriage between my daughter and Xiangtian. These two children are not young anymore, so it is time for this marriage."
"Haha, of course, of course. Don't worry, your majesty. Once the estate has settled down, we will immediately bring Xiang'er to the imperial palace. I hope we won't cause any trouble for your majesty." Changyang Ba chuckled. Although his son's status was different from before, he still approved of this marriage. On one hand, it was to make the king feel at ease. On the other hand, it was also to acknowledge the Princess of Glan. This was because Changyang Ba had seen the Princess of Glan before. He could not help but sigh in admiration. The Princess of Glan was truly an outstanding girl.
"Hahaha, what are you talking about? I'm more than happy. How can it be troublesome?" The king was very happy and laughed loudly. He used this to vent the joy in his heart. His heart that was in his throat finally calmed down.
After the king left, Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian went to Jianchen's room. They found that the five Imperial Preceptors of the Qin Empire were also in Jianchen's room.
Changyang Ba and his wife exchanged greetings with the five Imperial Preceptors of the Qin Empire. Then they looked at Jianchen and said with a smile, "Xiang'er, get ready tonight. We will go to the imperial palace tomorrow morning."
"Yes, father!" Jianchen replied. This was within his expectations. Now that his identity as the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire had been exposed, it would be abnormal if the king of the Kingdom of Gesun still did not take action to rope in the Changyang Prefecture.
Jianchen also wanted to use this relationship to help the Kingdom of Gesun climb up the big tree of the Qin Empire. No matter what, the Kingdom of Gesun was his motherland. This country was also the result of the blood and sweat of the ancestors of Changyang Prefecture. As a descendant of Changyang Prefecture, he should do his part.
Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian wanted to say a few more words with Jianchen, but they finally left after looking at the five Imperial Preceptors.
After Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian left, Jianchen stood in the room and pondered for a while. Then he walked to the bedside and sat down. He said, "I will go to the imperial palace tomorrow morning. The five of you can stay in Changyang Prefecture for a few days."
"Yes, Imperial Protector!" Xiaotian and the other four answered in unison. Unconsciously, their attitude towards Jianchen became more respectful. Not to mention Jianchen's terrifying potential, his current strength was not weaker than theirs at all. He was even stronger than them.
As soon as the five Imperial Preceptors of the Qin Empire left, a maid who was waiting outside came in. "Fourth Young Master, Madam and Master ask you to go to the Conference Hall!"
"Got it. You can leave now!" Jianchen said lightly.
"Yes, sir!" The maid left.
Jianchen arrived before the bed and looked at the White Tiger that was sleeping soundly beside the pillow before leaving. He walked towards the Conference Hall.
It was already dark outside, but Changyang Prefecture was still brightly lit. Pairs of black-armored soldiers with cold gazes walked through Changyang Prefecture. Aside from the original guards of Changyang Prefecture, there was now a new group of black-armored soldiers that specialized in protecting the imperial family.
Jianchen walked into the Conference Hall. The Conference Hall was no longer as lively as it was during the day. There were only three people inside. Two of them were Jianchen's parents and the third was a middle-aged man in black armor. Jianchen recognized this middle-aged man. He was his uncle, Bi Dao. Bi Yuntian and Changyang Ba sat across from Bi Dao.
"Xiang'er, come and greet your uncle!" Bi Yuntian said to Jianchen. Bi Dao also turned his head to look at his nephew. He felt gratified as he smiled faintly.
Jianchen strode forward and said, "Uncle!"
Bi Dao stood up from his chair and laughed aloud, "Good! Good! Good! You truly are a descendant of my Bi family. " With that, Bi Dao strode toward Jianchen. Suddenly, he threw a punch at Jianchen's chest with lightning-like speed. Surging wind-attributed Saint Force radiated from his fist, causing a violent gust of wind to sweep through the entire hall. He had clearly used his full strength.
Bi Dao's attack was so sudden that it came without any warning. Coupled with his strength as an Earth Saint Master, Changyang Ba was unable to react in time.
Jianchen smiled. With a thought, the Qi of the world condensed in his hand. He then gently struck out with his palm, blocking Bi Dao's punch.
The two collided, producing a heavy sound in the air. Since both of them controlled their energy very well, no shockwaves spread out. Thump.
Thump. Thump …
Bi Dao staggered back a few steps before stabilizing himself with great difficulty. His smile became even wider as he laughed aloud, "Controlling the energy of the world. Xiangtian, you really have become a Heaven Saint Master. No wonder you're the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire."
"Brother, you should believe me now, right?" Bi Yuntian said rather complacently. As a mother, she felt extremely proud of her son's accomplishments.
"I do, I do. Of course I do. Hahahaha!" Bi Dao chuckled. He was clearly extremely happy. A thin layer of mist quickly appeared in his eyes, but it dispersed very quickly, so no one noticed.
Changyang Ba stood up from his chair and smiled, "Bi Dao, it's been six years since the two of you have seen each other. You two chat first. I'll go deal with the matters of the clan. Xiang'er, you stay here with your mother and uncle." With that, Changyang Ba left the discussion hall.
Bi Dao calmed down very quickly. He looked at his nephew with mixed feelings and sighed, "A twenty-one-year-old Heaven Saint Master. I never thought that such an outstanding descendant would appear after my Bi family was destroyed." Bi Dao sighed before gradually becoming stern. He stared at Jianchen and sternly said, "Xiangtian, uncle knows that your status is different now, but uncle still wants you to remember one thing. Not only do you have the bloodline of the Changyang Prefecture, you also have the bloodline of my Bi family. The blood feud of my Bi family will all depend on you in the future."
Bi Yuntian frowned and looked at Bi Dao with some reproach. She said with great dissatisfaction, "Brother, Xiang'er is still young, so why are you bringing up the past? Xiang'er has already suffered enough outside. He's finally come to an end after so much difficulty, so don't add more burdens to Xiang'er's shoulders."
