On the starship, Shirō Makino and the other four had already come out of their rest cabins. Looking at the familiar Ziyun galaxy, all five of them had happy smiles on their faces.
Xiao Gu was finally going to ascend the throne!
The friends around them were suddenly going to become the most powerful people in the empire. It was a wonderful feeling.
"What do you think Xiao Gu will issue as soon as he becomes the Emperor? Will he continue to rule the world with benevolence like his father? "Shan Gu asked the others.
"Well, based on Xiao Gu's temper, I'm afraid he will be more radical than his father. But with the Prince Regent watching from the side, I don't think he will go too far," Chae Yi said.
Lin Zijin looked at Shirō Makino. "Brother, do you think Xiao Gu will still be the same Xiao Gu after he becomes the Emperor?"
Shirō Makino smiled and shook his head. "How is that possible? Even Si Yin has grown up, how can Xiao Gu still be the same? "
Si Yin puffed up her cheeks. "I, what's wrong with me?"
Lin Zijin quickly rubbed her head. "Nothing, you're outstanding!"
Si Yin quickly retaliated, and the two of them got into a fight.
Ji Chae Yi said, "Look, if this was in the past, Si Yin would have been so angry that she didn't know what to do. Now, she knows how to resist."
Si Yin joked with Zijin as she snorted. "Only fools don't know how to resist!"
Amidst the laughter, the starship was already nearing Ziyun.
Then, they were intercepted by the defense forces above Ziyun.
Not just them, but all the starships that entered Ziyun had to be inspected in outer space.
Then, a group of soldiers boarded the starship, and after a round of inspection, they were allowed to go.
The entire process was meticulous, and not a single corner was left unchecked.
When the starship landed at Ziyun Space Center, there was another inspection.
When a new Emperor ascended the throne, all sides would definitely follow the strictest requirements. It would be very difficult to get away with it at such a time.
Following that, Shirō Makino received a call from Old Song. They had come over together with the Flying Army and the City Lords of the Flying Deity Planet.
Old Song asked Xiao Bai if he wanted to get together that night. Xiao Bai could tell that there was a hidden meaning in Old Song's words. Otherwise, there would be no need for them to meet at such a time.
"Come here by yourself tonight," Old Song instructed.
When they arrived at the manor that Xiao Gu had prepared for them, Xiao Bai left a few words with Lin Zijin and the rest. He flagged down a taxi and rushed to the meeting place with Ol 'Song.
It was a small restaurant.
When Xiao Bai arrived, Old Song in the small private room had already ordered the dishes and even prepared the wine.
"Master, you didn't call me over just to have a drink with you, did you? Most importantly, I can't drink it, "Shirō Makino teased as soon as he entered the room.
"I'm not asking you to drink." Old Song smiled and gestured for Shirō Makino to sit down.
"How is it? Have you improved recently?" Old Song asked.
Although the master and disciple were not like each other, Old Song was still a Divine Talisman Master. All the experience he had accumulated over the years was not for nothing.
No matter how talented Xiao Bai was, he could not learn everything without a teacher.
After entering Flying Army, he had learned a lot from Old Song.
"Improvement? You're improving every day. "Shirō Makino smiled as he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat. He thought for a moment and said," Right, Master, are you close to reaching the mid-tier Divine Level? "
Old Song shook his head. "How can I be that fast? My Spiritual Power is less than 20,000. "
Shirō Makino thought about himself and could not help but smile bitterly. "You think it's too low? What about me?"
"What about you?" Old Song glared at him. "What else do you want? Do you want to ascend to the heavens? "
As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and took a sip. He then whispered, "With the new Emperor ascending to the throne, I'm afraid someone is trying to stir up trouble. You have to be careful."
"Oh?" Shirō Makino looked at Old Song. "Why do you say that, Master?"
"When you guys came out of that sub-dimension, did you meet the Feixian Duke's son?" Old Song looked at Shirō Makino and asked seriously.
"Huh? How did Master know about this? "Shirō Makino looked at Old Song strangely.
After coming out, the five of them did not tell anyone about it.
Could there be a spy around the Feixian Duke's son?
But even if there was a spy, it should have nothing to do with someone like Master who stood aloof from worldly affairs.
In Shirō Makino's mind, Master and Fang Qing were born to stay in school, do what they liked, and have students everywhere.
"You don't need to know how I know." Old Song glanced at Shirō Makino. "How much do you know about the Feixian Duke's son?"
Shirō Makino said, "I don't think I know any less than Master."
"Hey, you little brat, you're still pretending!" Old Song glared. "Then tell me!"
He really did not believe that his demonic disciple could be that demonic. Not only was his talent so powerful that it made others feel hopeless, but he was also so handsome that others could only look at him in the dust. Even his brain was shocking?
"He's not as hedonistic as he appeared to be that day. No, I should say that he's not a hedonistic person, but an elite who has received top-notch education since he was young. He's usually very self-disciplined and has a reputation for being virtuous. "
Shirō Makino looked at Old Song and said with a smile, "So that day, when he pretended to be a cowardly hedonistic person, it reminded me of a book …"
Old Song looked at him. "What book?"
"An actor's self-cultivation." Shirō Makino grinned.
Old Song rolled his eyes, but he was very shocked in his heart.
This little b * stard, he really knew about it!
If someone hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have thought of so many things.
"Then do you know why he provoked you on purpose?" Old Song asked.
"That's not hard to guess, right?" Shirō Makino laughed. "He probably wants to test what kind of person I am so that I won't ruin their plans."
Old Song's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. "What is the so-called good thing?"
Shirō Makino looked around.
Old Song said, "Don't worry, there's no problem here."
"Oh, their good thing is naturally to kill the crown prince and the regent," Shirō Makino said calmly.
Old Song was completely stunned.
Even he was so shocked when he first heard the news that he was almost speechless.
In the end, this little b * stard said it so casually.
"How did you know such a confidential matter?" Old Song looked at Shirō Makino with a serious expression.
"Since you know, why can't I know?" Shirō Makino smiled. "I'm afraid everyone who should know about this matter knows, right?"
"Nonsense …" Old Song glanced at him. "How can everyone know about this kind of plot that could cost their lives?"
"The regent doesn't know what they're thinking?" Shirō Makino looked at Old Song. "Or does the crown prince not know?"
Old Song sighed and said softly, "This empire can't withstand this kind of torment! This time, the Holy Empire and the Vast Ocean Empire will both send people to congratulate the new emperor's ascension. If something like internal strife happens in the Zulong Empire at this time, it won't be as simple as becoming a joke. "
"There are always some people whose minds are filled with illusions all day long, thinking that they can do it. Even if everyone in the world can see their thoughts, they still stubbornly think that others can't see it. What can they do? "Shirō Makino shrugged.
In fact, he was just showing off in front of Old Song. In fact, when he just got the news, he was quite shocked.
If it weren't for the advanced intelligence left by Big Beauty, perhaps even the most powerful hacker in the world wouldn't be able to crack the news.
The four princes and the ten prefectures actually wanted to rebel!
And they actually chose the day of the crown prince's ascension!
On this day, all of them would come to Ziyun to attend the ceremony in the imperial city!
Who would have thought?
Who would dare to believe it?
Even the regent, Prince Qi, probably couldn't believe that his group of brothers would be so crazy.
The key was that in this matter, there was actually an unexpected figure — First Prince, Li He.
For a moment, Xiao Bai even wondered if this was a deliberate misdirection by the four princes and the ten prefectures.
If that person was Li Xiong, he could more or less understand.
From the information obtained in the past, Third Prince Li Xiong should have had thoughts about the throne previously.
As for the First Prince … From the beginning to the end, he had never seen him covet the throne at all.
Even if he hid it well, he couldn't hide it to the point where he had nothing, right?
But very quickly, Xiao Bai obtained more information and realized that First Prince Li He didn't even know about this matter.
The reason why he became the target was precisely because he had no desire for the throne!
Needless to say, the Crown Prince was actually not suitable either.
This was because as the day of the Crown Prince's ascension approached, the Third Prince had already begun to gradually reveal his brilliant and heroic side.
Previously, when he went to the Sky Lake Holy Land to cultivate in seclusion, his entire temperament had changed after he returned.
Many people said that the Third Prince vaguely had the elegance of Prince Qi back then!
The difference was that the Third Prince had no intention of competing with the Crown Prince for the throne.
To the princes and the prefectures, supporting such a person to ascend the throne was probably no different from Xiao Gu ascending the throne.
As for the other princes, they were even more unsuitable.
At the very least, they wouldn't be able to pass the test of legitimacy.
Furthermore, the princes were all filled with greed. Most importantly, they were all very outstanding!
They had always been outstanding!
If they were allowed to ascend the throne, they would probably be even more radical than Xiao Gu.
Therefore, the most suitable person was the First Prince, Li He.
They were both children of the Empress, and he had a gentle personality. Ever since he was young, he had never fought for anything.
He locked himself in his laboratory all day, conducting all sorts of experiments.
If such a person were to become the Emperor and be given the best laboratory in the world, he definitely wouldn't even take a step out of the laboratory.
Elder Song had actually come to find Shirō Makino tonight to tell him about this matter, and then ask him to immediately bring his men back!
He didn't want to get involved in this matter.
The reason for that was because this matter was simply too dangerous.
"Don't think that you'll be safe with us God-level experts protecting you. The four princes and ten prefectures … To be honest, I still don't know how deep the foundations of these people are!"
"But I know that if they attack, even the Prince Regent and Prince Qi won't be able to withstand it!"
"Therefore, this isn't a joking matter. Unless the Bai Family's Empress is here to protect you, otherwise … no one will be able to protect you!"
Elder Song was very, very serious when he said this.
Shirō Makino asked, "What about you, Shifu?"
"Me?" Elder Song was taken aback, then said, "Of course I'll stay here."
"Why?" Shirō Makino asked.
"There's no why." Elder Song waved his hand, picked up his wine glass, and downed it in one gulp.
"Is it because you're all members of the Imperial Family's Esteemed Order?" Shirō Makino asked again.
Elder Song put down his wine glass and looked at him in a daze. Suddenly, he couldn't help but scold, "You're not even twenty years old yet, how do you know so many things that you shouldn't know? Since you know everything, did you listen to what I said? "
"I listened." Shirō Makino nodded.
"Why are you so obedient?" Elder Song looked at Shirō Makino with a look of distrust.
"You see, you know it all." Shirō Makino laughed. "The Crown Prince is my brother, and so is Liu Zhiyuan. If someone wants to kill them, I can't just sit back and watch."
"But your cultivation …" Elder Song shook his head and sighed. "Even if you kids can withstand the attacks of one or two gods, what if there are eight or ten of them? What if there are more? "
"That many?" Shirō Makino looked at Elder Song. "Don't tell me there aren't any on the Imperial Family's side and Prince Qi's side?"
"Sigh!"
Elder Song could only sigh in the end.
Before coming here, he already knew that he wouldn't be able to persuade this stubborn disciple, but he still wanted to give it a try.
After all, this wasn't something a group of youngsters should be involved in.
It was too dangerous!
What would they do if there was an accident?
There were still seven days until the Crown Prince's coronation.
Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin each received an invitation.
The invitation wasn't electronic, but rather a very ancient, formal invitation made of high-quality paper.
Nowadays, only a few nobles and ancient families still persisted in using such high-grade paper invitations.
From Shirō Makino's point of view, there was only one reason – to show off.
The invitation Shirō Makino received was from the Bai family.
That family that he had never seen before had actually sent him an invitation.
Inviting Shirō Makino, an outstanding member of the Bai family, to attend the family banquet on the 24th of December. The address was …
The contents of the invitation were very simple.
The family banquet.
Haha, I'm a person with a family too?
Shirō Makino smiled and tossed the invitation aside.
Then, Lin Zijin came over with a similar invitation. When the two looked at each other, they discovered that the address on the invitation was only a wall away.
The Li and Lin families had been on good terms for generations.
They even chose the location of the family banquet together.
"Brother, do you want to go?" Lin Zijin looked at Shirō Makino and asked.
"What about you, do you want to go?" Shirō Makino asked.
"No." Lin Zijin curled her lips.
Just as Shirō Makino was about to say that he didn't want to go either, his communicator suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was an unknown number, Xiao Bai instinctively wanted to hang up. At this time, his advanced AI suddenly sent him a message. Xiao Bai glanced at it and accepted the video call.
A dignified middle-aged man appeared in front of Shirō Makino. He sat on a luxurious wooden chair, and in front of him was a table made of expensive wood.
"Shirō Makino, I am your second grandfather, the head of the Bai family, Bai Rui."
The middle-aged man went straight to the point and announced his identity.
"Hello, Mr. Bai." Shirō Makino said very politely.
But, Mr. Bai?
Bai Rui frowned, but didn't say anything. Instead, he glanced at the beautiful short-haired girl beside Shirō Makino, and then glanced at the invitation that Shirō Makino had casually tossed onto the table.
He looked at Shirō Makino and said, "It's been hard on you all these years."
"It's not hard at all. I've been living quite well. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Bai." Shirō Makino smiled, and he looked even more handsome.
Bai Rui looked at him and said, "I know you're angry …"
"No, no, I'm just a rootless duckweed. You can't reach me." Shirō Makino continued smiling as he interrupted Bai Rui.
"Shirō Makino!" The middle-aged man frowned and said, "No matter how angry you are …"
"I really don't!" Shirō Makino interrupted again very seriously.
"Can you just let me finish what I have to say? Don't you have any manners? Is this the outstanding descendant of the Bai Family that Bai Sheng has cultivated for so many years? "Bai Rui's voice was low, and he looked at Shirō Makino with an extremely serious expression.
"Bah!"
Shirō Makino raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face disappeared. "Who do you think you are?"
"Manners? With you? Are you worthy? "
Bai Rui was stunned by Shirō Makino's scolding, and he was furious. As expected of someone cultivated by that bastard Bai Sheng, even the tone is exactly the same!
Shirō Makino said coldly, "What right do you have to control me? Why should I let you finish? I call you Mr. Bai because I'm polite. My surname is Bai, and I'm also a descendant of the Bai Family, but I'm not your descendant! In the future, I'll build my own Bai Family! "
As he said this, he hugged Lin Zijin and said, "At that time, I'll have eight or ten children with this girl, and let them spread out. Children will have grandchildren, grandchildren will have children, and grandchildren will have children, and so on and so on! At that time, it will be my Bai Family! "
Lin Zijin's face turned red, and she whispered, "Aiya, I can't do it alone. I can't have so many children, and I'm scared. Should I find a few people to help? "
Shirō Makino, "…" Really?
Bai Rui, "…"
Shirō Makino said, "Anyway, listen carefully. My growth is my own growth, and it has nothing to do with you people! I recognize Bai Sheng as my grandfather, I recognize my parents, I recognize my biological grandparents, and I recognize my great-great-aunt. But you people … are just strangers who share the same blood as me, so I don't recognize you! "
Bai Rui was so angry that his face turned ashen. He had made this call personally because he was afraid that Shirō Makino would ignore the invitation sent by the Bai Family. He had hoped that through the care of the family head, Shirō Makino would feel that he was valued.
As for the things that happened in the past, weren't they all in the past?
Weren't you doing well too?
Shouldn't you be grateful to receive the care of the Bai Family head?
Bai Rui never imagined that this little thing would be so unyielding. He didn't even show the slightest bit of respect to the Bai Family head, let alone attend a family gathering.
In the eyes of many in the Bai Family, Shirō Makino wasn't really a child of the Bai Family.
He was just a wild child who wandered outside!
After all, even his parents were in a place like Milky Way, and no one knew if they were alive or dead.
Bai Sheng, who cared about Shirō Makino the most, had also gone to Milky Way to die.
The Milky Way was as deep as the sea!
This wasn't a joke.
Want to come back?
It wasn't that simple.
Therefore, in the eyes of many in the Bai Family, Shirō Makino's branch was basically crippled.
While Shirō Makino was outstanding, he wasn't outstanding enough for the Bai Family to take the initiative, was he?
So what if he was the champion of the Empire League?
Was it that impressive?
There was a batch every year!
But Bai Rui knew very well that Shirō Makino wasn't that simple!
If it was possible, he wanted to pull him back into the Bai Family's camp.
Especially when the Bai Family's great-aunt personally said that she liked Shirō Makino.
For an Empress to say something like that, it was worth it for him to make this call personally.
But what he didn't expect was that not only was he humiliated.
He even called Xiao Bai 'pfft'!
