"Father is useless, I've wronged you."
The middle-aged man's eyes dimmed as he said this, then he turned and left.
The charming woman continued to stand quietly in front of the window. After a long time, she softly muttered, "Perhaps this is fate, I can only accept it!"
Five days later, in the morning, a vast and endless silhouette appeared in the morning sun. From afar, it looked like an endless dragon hibernating in the distance.
Vast and endless buildings stretched as far as the eye could see. Endless rivers surrounded it, it was majestic and majestic.
This was the capital city of the Stone Dragon Empire. It was originally called Dragon City, but as the imperial city of the Stone Dragon Empire, it was more commonly known as the Imperial Capital.
The Imperial Capital was the most important place in the entire empire. It was a place where trade, finance, industry, administration, military, etiquette, and household were all integrated into one body.
The Imperial Capital was in charge of the Stone Dragon Empire's 365 prefectures. It was under the feet of the emperor, no one dared to disobey.
Early in the morning, three women, a man, a monkey, and a 'cat' followed the lively crowd into the huge city gates. Waves of clamor immediately hit them in the face. The continuous palace buildings and the crowd on the streets faintly emitted a noble and royal aura, causing the three women and one man to feel rather uncomfortable for a moment.
"As expected of the Imperial Capital, it's so huge and filled with experts …"
Du Shaofu stood in the middle of the crowded street and raised his head slightly to look at the vast and boundless city around him. Compared to Lanling City, who knew how many times larger it was, it gave off a majestic feeling.
The streets were filled with people. Using his Mental Energy, Du Shaofu could easily sense that there were many Pulse Spirit Realm cultivators. He could even occasionally encounter a Martial Lord Realm cultivator on the streets. This was rare in Lanling City and Dark City.
"This is the Imperial Capital, Dragon City, there are naturally experts as common as clouds. Furthermore, there are the eight great prefectures, don't cause trouble in the Imperial Capital."
Ouyang Shuang couldn't help but remind Du Shaofu, afraid that this guy would cause trouble in the Imperial Capital. After all, the Imperial Capital was not an academy.
"If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. I'm not a troublemaker."
Du Shaofu glanced at Ouyang Shuang and frowned. He curled his lips and said, "But since you want to offend me, don't blame me for being impolite."
"I can't outtalk you. Let's go to the Li family first," Ouyang Shuang said.
"There are so many people. It's so fun."
Du Xiaoqing jumped around like a green butterfly. She immediately blended into the crowd. She was interested in everything.
The Li family was located in the southern part of the Imperial City. Although it could not be compared to the Eight Great King's Mansions, it was still a famous family in the Imperial City.
There were countless large and small forces in the entire Imperial City, but there weren't many who could reach the level of the Li Family.
For the Imperial Capital, the Eight Great King's Palaces were the top powers, while the Li Family and the Qian Family were the top powers.
As for the other large and small forces, they could only survive and expand in the cracks. They slowly looked up at the Li Family, Qian Family, and other large forces, waiting for the day when they could find an opportunity to climb up.
The streets that extended in all directions were densely packed with people. It was very lively.
Du Shaofu's group took more than two hours to reach the entrance of the Li Family. This was only because the Li Family was nearby. It was said that if one were to cross the entire Imperial City from the streets, it would take a day and night for an ordinary person to walk. It was enough to show how big the Imperial City was.
The Li Family was majestic. The walls were tall and there were many ferocious beasts carved on them.
In front of the huge door, there were two stone lions that were about two meters tall. They looked ferocious and intimidating.
In the middle of the door, there was a gold-plated plaque with the words' Li Family 'engraved on it. It was very grand.
"Quick, hang the wedding silk here. Hang the red lanterns on the beams."
"Clean it up. Tomorrow is the Fifth Miss's big day."
"…"
In front of the Li Family, it was very lively. Many servants were decorating the place with lanterns.
In front of the door, there were several men in martial arts clothes standing upright. They held long swords in their hands. Their auras were extremely fierce.
Du Shaofu's group stopped at the Li Family's gate. The men in martial arts clothes looked at each other. The leader immediately walked to Zhang Jin's side. His eyes swept over Du Shaofu, Ouyang Shuang, and Du Xiaoqing. He was stunned by Ouyang Shuang and Du Xiaoqing. Then he respectfully bowed to Zhang Jin and said, "So it's Miss Li. Uncle and Madam Li have arrived."
Zhang Jin looked at the scene outside the Li Family's gate. She frowned and asked the man in martial arts clothes, "Is it Cousin Li Xue …?"
"Miss Li, it is the Fifth Miss's big day. Tomorrow is the wedding of the Fifth Miss and the young master of the Qian Family." The man in martial arts clothes respectfully replied.
"So it's Cousin Jing. No wonder I didn't see Cousin Jing and Aunt together yesterday."
At this moment, a dozen young men and women walked out of the Li Family's gate. A young man in his mid-twenties who walked at the front saw Zhang Jin. His eyes immediately lit up and he quickly walked over.
This young man was not bad. He was tall and straight and had a handsome face. However, there was a murderous aura between his eyebrows. He gave off a gloomy feeling.
"Cousin Li Yu." Zhang Jin nodded slightly. Looking at the young man who walked over, her eyes inadvertently flashed with some displeasure.
"It's good that you're here. I thought I wouldn't be able to see Cousin Jing this time."
The young man looked at Zhang Jin. There was a slight fluctuation in his eyes, like a hunting dog looking at its prey. Then he saw Ouyang Shuang and Du Xiaoqing. His eyes flashed with surprise. His body trembled. He was secretly moved and his heart trembled.
The dozen young men and women in the surroundings all walked over at this moment. Looking at Ouyang Shuang and Du Xiaoqing, the men's eyes were stunned and stunned. The women's faces were filled with jealousy and envy. Everyone was moved.
"I'll go take a look at Cousin Li Xue first. Goodbye, Cousin Li Yu."
Zhang Jin nodded. Then she looked at Du Shaofu behind her. Her eyes were filled with anticipation. She said softly, "Junior Du, shall we go in?"
"En."
Du Shaofu nodded and glanced at the dozen or so young men and women who were walking over. Their cultivation and strength were extremely impressive. Almost all of them had reached the Pulse Spirit Realm and were between twenty to twenty-five or twenty-six years old. In the outside world, they could be considered to have extraordinary talent.
"Cousin Jing, I don't seem to have seen this person before. Could he be from Cousin Jing's family?"
The young man called Li Yu saw that his cousin, who was usually aloof, was talking to a young man who was carrying a strange object on his back, in such a gentle tone. It seemed that their relationship wasn't ordinary. When he saw that this young man was accompanied by two peerless beauties, he immediately felt jealous. Although he asked with a smile, his eyes were filled with disdain. In the imperial capital, in the entire Stone Dragon Empire, how many young men could compare to his status?
"This is my Junior Brother from Tianwu Academy. Is there a problem with Cousin Li Yu?"
Zhang Jin's gaze suddenly darkened. Her delicate face instantly turned cold. She knew her cousin's personality. If she didn't act forcefully, he might deliberately make things difficult for Junior Du. Furthermore, Junior Du wasn't someone who would let others make things difficult for him. If that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhang Jin didn't mind if something happened to her Cousin Li Yu or if he was taught a lesson. However, she didn't want things to get out of hand and affect Cousin Li Xue.
"So it's Cousin Jing's Junior Brother from Tianwu Academy."
Li Yu's gaze became even more disdainful. However, he maintained a smile on his face and said, "Cousin, it's fine for you to visit Fifth Sister. However, this Junior Brother of yours can't. Fifth Sister's wedding is tomorrow. According to the customs, no man is allowed to see her before the wedding. Even the groom is not allowed to see her."
Zhang Jin frowned. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
"Why don't you go and meet Li Xue first and see what she has to say. We'll discuss it then," Ouyang Shuang said to Zhang Jin.
"Alright, I'll arrange for the two of you to stay. I'll go and meet Cousin Li Xue after." Zhang Jin understood Li Yu's intentions. She looked at Ouyang Shuang and Du Shaofu and said.
"Leave it to me. The two of you are guests from afar and my Li Clan has always been hospitable. I'll definitely make the necessary arrangements."
Li Yu's gaze swept across Ouyang Shuang and Du Xiaoqing before he said to Zhang Jin warmly, "Cousin Jing, don't worry. Leave it to me. Your friend is my friend. I'll make the necessary arrangements."
With that, Li Yu smiled, appearing extremely graceful. However, he did not even glance at Du Shaofu. Instead, he continued to look at Ouyang Shuang and Du Xiaoqing. He said warmly, "Please come with me. I'm very happy to be of service to the two of you."
Ouyang Shuang's hair was tied up in a bun and the fine strands of hair on her temples set off her peerless appearance. Her thin, shapely eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Her temperament was cold and unapproachable. Her large eyes were calm without any ripples. She did not even glance at Li Yu as she said to Zhang Jin, "We'll be staying nearby. You have the academy badge, so it won't be difficult for you to find us."
"Alright then. I'll inform you as soon as I have any news." Zhang Jin nodded. Looking at how Li Yu was looking at Ouyang Shuang and Du Xiaoqing, she knew why Ouyang Shuang was not staying at the Li Clan.
With that, Zhang Jin did not have to worry about Ouyang Shuang, Du Xiaoqing, and Du Shaofu at all. Putting aside Du Shaofu's terrifying strength, Du Xiaoqing's strength was probably unmatched in the entire capital.
Li Yu was immediately put on the spot when his enthusiasm was ignored. His face twitched slightly as a trace of coldness silently flashed across it. "Let's go. We'll find a place to stay first before making the necessary arrangements." Seeing Zhang Jin enter the Li Clan, Ouyang Shuang turned around and said to Du Shaofu.
"Alright."
Du Shaofu nodded. Li Xue's wedding was tomorrow. He was afraid that he would not be able to see Li Xue today. He could only let Zhang Jin scout out the situation first before making a decision.
