They entered the side room where sulfur, charcoal, saltpeter, kerosene, and many other miscellaneous items were placed. Ye Wuchen chased Ye Qi and Ye Ba out and ordered that no one was allowed to enter. Ye Qi and Ye Ba could only guard outside the door obediently. They could not help but continuously guess his intentions in their hearts.
After about half an hour, Ye Wuchen finally walked out from inside. He then closed the door and said sternly, "In the future, no one is allowed to enter this room without my permission. Also, no one is allowed to light a fire around here for any reason. Do you understand?"
Ye Qi and Ye Ba nodded at the same time. They were puzzled but did not dare to ask.
Smelling the remaining smell of gunpowder on his body, Ye Wuchen frowned and said, "Ask Little Green to send me a new set of clothes."
"Yes, yes."
The next morning, before the sky had even brightened, Ye Wuchen opened his eyes. Then, he gently removed Ningxue's arm that was tightly wrapped around him and quietly got out of bed.
He did not forget about the official court hearing today. However, this so-called morning court hearing was a little early. He could not help but feel a little conflicted in his heart.
"Today, the Lin family should have started to spread the news of the official marriage with the Hua family in a few days. Then I'll spread it, the more the better. There were some things that couldn't be forced out of someone. You guys still underestimate me and Hua Zhentian. One day is enough to deal with a weak little woman like Hua Shuirou. It's a pity that Lin Xiao is a gentleman … "
Ye Wuchen went out quietly for fear of waking up Ningxue who was sleeping soundly. Then, he went to the palace of Tenryū Province with Ye Wei and Ye Nu.
When they arrived at the Celestial Dragon Palace, it was already filled with civil and military officials. As soon as the young and old of the Yeh family walked in, more than a hundred different gazes were directed at them. Most of them had witnessed Ye Wuchen's prowess yesterday. Of course, there were also a few who did not attend due to various reasons. At this moment, they were carefully observing the only son of the legendary Yeh family.
In the face of such a gaze, normal people would feel uncomfortable and their expressions would stiffen. However, Ye Wuchen walked in calmly with his head held high, and then stood at the last position on the right, as if he didn't see them at all.
Just this boldness alone was enough to make most people nod their heads in secret, and they were even extremely surprised.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
After a sharp shout, the curtains at the side were lifted. Long Yin walked out with his head held high and a dignified expression. When he sat down on the golden dragon throne in the center, the civil and military officials immediately bowed down like a group of puppets. At the same time, they shouted weakly, "Our Emperor will be broken into pieces!"
The only person sitting in the Celestial Dragon Palace was Long Yin. The only ones standing were a yellow-clothed little eunuch beside Long Yin, and Ye Wuchen, who seemed to be at a loss.
"… You must remember, we have the noblest bloodline in the world, and the strongest power. Other than our parents, no one has the right to make us kneel, not even the heavens and earth … "
The voice that he was gradually becoming familiar with rang in his mind again. Every time he encountered a special scene, the corresponding memory fragments would appear in his mind.
If even the heavens and earth did not have the right to make him kneel, why should he kneel to this mortal who had the title of Emperor?
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you not kneel in front of His Majesty!"
The little eunuch shouted. It was clearly his first time seeing Ye Wuchen. Long Yin also frowned slightly, but he did not say anything. This shout naturally attracted the attention of the civil and military officials. Instantly, their gazes focused on Ye Wuchen, who was standing there like a crane among chickens.
"How dare you! How dare you not kneel in front of His Majesty! Do you still have any respect for His Majesty?! "
The one who shouted was Lin Zhan, whose face was filled with anger. Ye Nu and Ye Wei's expressions also changed slightly. They said in a low voice, "Chen'Er, quickly kneel."
Ye Wuchen shook his head and bowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive Wuchen for being rude. Before I left, my master told me solemnly that the descendants of the Sword God only kneel to the heavens and their parents. Wuchen's life was saved by his master, and all his skills were taught by him. Although Wuchen does not want to be disrespectful to His Majesty, he also does not want to disobey his master's teachings. Otherwise, Wuchen will not have the face to see his master again. If His Majesty wants to punish me, Wuchen will not complain. "
So that's how it is … Everyone secretly understood. They originally thought that this child had outstanding ability and wisdom, so how could he do such an unwise thing. It turned out to be the teachings of the Sword God. Indeed, for a "God" who transcended the mortal world, no one had the right to make him kneel. In the past, when the Sword God faced the late emperor, he did not even need to bow. Instead, the late emperor was very respectful to him. Moreover, it was not excessive for him to set such a rule for his only successor. It was also reasonable for Ye Wuchen to abide by the rule set by the Sword God. If he ignored his master's teachings in front of His Majesty, it would be somewhat disdainful.
"Hehehehe, so that's how it is. Since it's your master's words, what crime have you committed? We will grant you special permission from now on, no matter who you meet in Tenryū Province, you do not need to kneel. This can also be considered as a show of respect for your esteemed teacher. Without your master, there would be no peaceful Tenryū Province today. "Long Yin said calmly.
Another great favor was bestowed upon Ye Wuchen. He gratefully bowed and said: "Wuchen thanks His Majesty for your grace!"
"His Majesty, this humble subject has something to say. This humble subject believes that this matter is very inappropriate. How can the thousand-year-old rules of my Tenryū Province be abolished because of him? Moreover, this child from the Lin family actually placed a commoner's status above His Majesty. This is simply disgraceful and disrespectful! "Lin Zhan shouted with extreme agitation.
After Lin Zhan said this "upholding the rules of the palace and His Majesty", he suddenly discovered that there was a clear change in the atmosphere around him. The gazes that were looking at him were filled with obvious anger. Long Yin's expression also became displeased. Even Lin Kuang, who was beside him, forcefully rubbed against him without a trace.
He immediately understood that he must have said something wrong. However, he repeated what he said a few times, but he still could not figure out where he had gone wrong.
Seeing that he still had a puzzled expression, Lin Kuang secretly cursed in his heart. He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "His Majesty and Lords, please calm down. During the time when Tenryū Province was in danger, my son happened to be bedridden for three years due to a serious illness. His Majesty and Lords should have heard about this back then. That's why you spoke disrespectfully to the God of Sword. As the saying goes, the ignorant are not guilty. My son was only thinking for the Emperor's Majesty. This old subject did not teach my son properly. Once again, I apologize. His Majesty, please forgive my son's ignorant words. "
The father and son of the Lin family were both officials in the imperial court. They had great power among the hundreds of officials. It could be said that they could cover the sky with one hand. Today was the first time Lin Zhan saw Lin Kuang making such a humble gesture. He finally understood that his momentary words had already caused an untouchable public anger. He hurriedly stepped forward to confess and repent.
"If it wasn't for the God of Sword, my Sky Dragon City would have been flattened by the Great Wind Nation! If it wasn't for the God of Sword's Majesty, do you really think that the Great Wind Nation did not invade my Sky Dragon City for twenty years because of the Yeh family and the Hua family?! If you were disrespectful to me, I would at most punish you. However, if you were disrespectful to the God of Sword … If this matter were to spread, you, Lin Zhan, would definitely be reviled! "Long Yin said sternly.
"This humble subject knows his mistake!"
"Considering that it was an unintentional mistake, I'll let this matter go. All of you may rise. "
