Ten days later, Zhong Shan and Nan Batian were in Shui Wuhen's house on the floating island. There was a stone table and a stone bench in the courtyard. On the table were two jars and two red jades that looked like bricks. One side of the jades had the words' Great Havenlaw Dynasty ', while the other side had the name and official position.
Front: Daluo Celestial Empire
Back: Zhong Shan, Third Rank Guard
Front: Daluo Celestial Empire
Back: Nan Batian, Vanguard Commander
These were the two people's official seals. Looking at the two brick-like official seals, Zhong Shan was speechless. It turned out that everyone in Daluo Celestial Empire had this kind of seal. However, on the back of an ordinary person's seal, there was the name and the word 'commoner'.
Moreover, this wasn't an ordinary seal, but a special one. It was like an identity card with a special magic treasure to distinguish the real from the fake.
The two didn't care about their official seals. Instead, they each picked up a jar.
Zhong Shan picked up the jar and said, "Batian, now that you've been appointed, you and I will be separated again. Today is your farewell party."
"Alright, since you and I are both in Daluo Celestial Empire, we will meet again in the future. Come, let's drink." Nan Batian picked up the jar and knocked it against Zhong Shan's.
"Clang!"
The jars knocked against each other and the two drank a mouthful of wine. This was the Nine Spirits Ten Thousand Flower Wine that Zhong Shan had bought. However, for Nan Batian's farewell party, he had to take out the best wine.
"I'm going to another city to fight and gain military merits. You're staying in Wushuang City as a third rank guard. What future does this kind of official have?" Nan Batian said with a smile.
"Haha, why don't we compete and see whose official is higher the next time we meet?" Zhong Shan laughed.
"Alright, let's compete." Nan Batian laughed.
"Clang!" The jars knocked against each other again and the two drank another mouthful.
"Last time, you were really fierce. You killed one person and shocked everyone. I'm guessing that even if Lord Shui didn't appear, Mo Yanbing wouldn't dare to make a move." Nan Batian laughed.
"What's the point of mentioning a clown? Come, let's continue drinking. "Zhong Shan raised his glass again.
"Alright, let's not talk about him." Nan Batian laughed heartily.
"No matter what happens in the future, our brotherhood will never change," Zhong Shan said.
"Alright," Nan Batian said in a clear voice.
Three days later, Nan Batian left Wushuang City with a group of soldiers. As for Zhong Shan and Shui Wuhen, they stayed behind.
Stepping on his broadsword, he followed Shui Tianya and flew around Wushuang City. After flying for an hour, he stopped in front of a red light screen in the air.
"Let's go. You will be working here in the future," Shui Tianya said.
"Okay." Zhong Shan nodded.
Passing through the red light screen was a huge floating island in the sky. There were many guards around the floating island, and there were many elegant courtyards around it. Some rare birds and strange beasts were kept there.
Not far away were several palaces.
Shui Tianya brought Zhong Shan and headed straight for the largest palace not far away.
Serene Fragrance Palace!
Under the Delicate Fragrance Palace, there were some guards standing guard. It was as if there was a very important person living inside.
Zhong Shan frowned and followed Shui Tianya.
"Let's go," Shui Tianya said and stepped into the palace.
Zhong Shan nodded and also walked in.
Stepping into the hall, Zhong Shan could clearly see the interior of the hall. In the center of the hall, there was a white jade table with a diameter of about ten meters. The table was like a magical treasure, with projections of light and shadow. In the projections, there were floating islands, mountains, rivers, city walls, and towers.
Wushuang City, that was Wushuang City. Wushuang City was a three-dimensional projection of the entire Wushuang City? It was just like a living map.
However, this was not the main point. The main point was that Zhong Shan saw two familiar faces.
There were a total of three people in the palace. Two of them stood on both sides like guards, and one of them had his back to Zhong Shan. He was holding a folding fan and looking at the projected map of Wushuang City in front of him.
Seeing those two guards, Zhong Shan's pupils shrank. Because those two were familiar faces, Ah Da and Ah Er.
The person with the back facing him was clearly Princess Qian You.
Zhong Shan revealed a bitter smile and sighed deeply. She still found him.
"This humble subject greets Princess." Shui Tianya immediately bowed respectfully.
"This humble subject Zhong Shan greets Princess." Zhong Shan could only bow slightly.
Hearing their voices, Princess Qian You's thoughts seemed to have been interrupted. She stopped looking at the map of Wushuang City and slowly turned her head.
Princess Qian You was dressed in purple today, but she was dressed as a man. She held a folding fan in her hand and looked incomparably elegant. When she turned her head, she gave off a startling feeling.
"Shui Tianya, this is my guard?" Princess Qian You looked at Zhong Shan with an interested smile.
"Yes, Princess. This is the third rank guard, Zhong Shan." Shui Tianya immediately answered.
"This humble subject Zhong Shan greets Princess." Seeing that Princess Qian You was pretending to be confused, Zhong Shan could only bow again.
"Audacious Zhong Shan, why aren't you kneeling after seeing the Princess?" Ah Da suddenly shouted.
Hearing Ah Da's words, Zhong Shan frowned. On the other hand, Princess Qian You looked at him with interest. Clearly, Ah Da's words were instructed by Princess Qian You.
Shui Tianya bowed slightly and retreated to the side, leaving Zhong Shan to face Princess Qian You alone.
If it was someone else, they would naturally kneel in this situation. However, Zhong Shan was different. Zhong Shan knew that Princess Qian You was teasing him. Kneeling was equivalent to kneeling for nothing. After all, Shui Tianya didn't kneel and even caused the other party to look down on him.
At this time, instead of being played around by Princess Qian You with her identity, he might as well make things clear from the start.
"Princess, this humble subject has offended you in the past. Please forgive me." Zhong Shan sincerely said.
Looking at Zhong Shan, Princess Qian You smiled faintly and said, "You finally remember me."
"Yes, ever since I luckily obtained the treasure nine years ago, Zhong Shan has always felt guilty. I feel that I have let Princess down. I have never forgotten." Zhong Shan said.
Zhong Shan did feel a little guilty towards Princess Qian You. After all, Princess Qian You took great care of him back then. However, this kind of guilt wasn't as exaggerated as Zhong Shan said. Never forget?
"Haha, you feel guilty? Hmph, Zhong Shan, you've got guts. No one has ever dared to make me suffer. "Princess Qian You's expression changed.
Princess Qian You was angry. There was an arrogant aura in her voice. This was the aura of an absolute superior. It wasn't like the aura that Zhong Shan displayed when he faced Mo Yanbing not long ago. Instead, it was the aura that had been cultivated for many years. It was an aura that could decide the life and death of millions of people with a single word.
Zhong Shan's heart tightened, but he quickly calmed himself down.
"Zhong Shan feels that he has let Princess down in the past. If there is a chance, Zhong Shan will definitely compensate Princess for your losses. I hope that Princess can forgive the past. Only then will Zhong Shan be able to assist Princess," Zhong Shan said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Seeing that Zhong Shan was still so calm under her aura, Princess Qian You's eyes revealed a trace of joy. In Princess Qian You's heart, Zhong Shan was just a grass root. To be able to remain so calm under her aura, this person was definitely not ordinary. Princess Qian You felt that she had a good eye for people. Seeing Zhong Shan like this, she was naturally even happier.
However, Princess Qian You knew that if she wanted someone to be of use to her, she had to make them submit. Only by making them submit wholeheartedly could she truly use them.
"Heh, compensate? How? How can you guarantee that you can compensate me? If you want me to forgive you, you have to show me enough talent or credibility to make me believe that you have the ability to compensate me. "Princess Qian You twirled her fan and smiled.
Hearing Princess Qian You's words, Zhong Shan frowned slightly. However, he also let out a long sigh of relief. Princess Qian You was indeed not targeting him. She was just trying to put him in his place.
"Princess, how do you want to prove it?" Zhong Shan asked in a low voice.
At this moment, Zhong Shan could only use her status as a princess to suppress him.
"I won't make things difficult for you. When I was at your cultivation level, His Majesty once gave me ten questions. I solved eight of them, but there are still two questions left. If you can solve them, I can let bygones be bygones and treat you as an honored guest. If you can't, you will have to kneel and greet me every time you see me in the future." Princess Qian You said as she walked towards the throne in the north.
As Princess Qian You spoke, Shui Tianya, Ah Da, and Ah Er's faces twitched. The three of them were very clear about Princess Qian You's intelligence. Ten questions from His Majesty? Although they didn't know what they were, two questions that even Princess Qian You couldn't solve. How could an outsider solve them?
Unconsciously, when the three of them looked at Zhong Shan, they gave him a sympathetic look.
Zhong Shan frowned. He naturally knew that Princess Qian You was deliberately making things difficult for him. His Majesty? Wasn't that the master of the Daluo Celestial Empire? His Majesty of the Daluo Celestial Empire?
Zhong Shan was a little curious about the ten questions that His Majesty had given him. However, this was clearly a trap. Could he jump into it?
"Princess, please speak. I will do my best." Zhong Shan could only jump into this trap. The situation forced him. Furthermore, Princess Qian You had said that her cultivation level was the same as his, so it should be within his limits. He hoped that it wouldn't be too difficult.
"Alright." Princess Qian You smiled.
"Ah Da!" Princess Qian You called out.
"Yes." Ah Da immediately walked forward. He stretched out his hand and took out a one-meter-diameter metal ball and a Renewal Pill. He gently placed the two balls on the table where the map projection had disappeared.
Zhong Shan frowned slightly and walked forward. He carefully inspected them.
The Renewal Pill was just an ordinary Renewal Pill. As for the metal ball, it was incomparably smooth. However, there were two small holes on the metal ball. The diameter of the holes was at most half the size of a pinky nail. Looking through the holes, one could see that the inside was pitch black.
"These are the two items for the two questions." Princess Qian You smiled.
