Three days later, Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi set off for Lanyan City with light luggage. Both of them were God level experts, and with their ability to fly and travel, they could rush back to Lanyan City in a day. Ouyang Yan wanted to come along, but Lin Muyu forced her to stay in Heaven Connect City. Heaven Connect City needed a God level expert to guard it. After all, the Demon Race's strength was still there, so they couldn't afford to neglect it.
…
At dusk, the forest outside Lanyan City had already lost all its leaves. It was barren, and the scene of old trees and crows could not help but make one sigh with emotion. Years passed. This city was like an old man that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, still standing there. It was just that the people had changed. Qin Jin, Chu Huaiying, Qin Lei, Lei Hong and the others were no longer around. They had also taken away the memories and time that once belonged to this place.
In the sky, two figures flew past and directly flew into the Imperial Capital. It was Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi. They arrived at Ze Tian Palace before the sky turned dark, which surprised them more or less. From Lanyan City to Heaven Connect City, it would take at least ten days even on horseback. However, with the two God level experts, it only took a day.
Outside Ze Tian Palace, the bamboo leaves were green, and the garden in the palace naturally maintained a sense of spring. Rows of Royal Guards walked between the pavilions with their hands on the hilts of their swords, protecting the safety of the Empire.
"Who is it?!"
The commander of the Dragon Guards looked up at the sky and said, "Come out!"
This person's cultivation was not bad. Su Yu's judgment would not be wrong. The commander of the Royal Guards that she had chosen was also a top-notch expert. Although he was very young, his cultivation was at least at the third level of the Heaven Realm.
"Pa Pa! Pa Pa! "
Two beams of purple light flashed out. They were spatial cracks. Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi's figures appeared in the empty space in front of Ze Tian Palace.
A group of Royal Guards rushed forward and knelt in a row. "Greetings, Your Highness King Qin! Greetings, Princess Xi! "
"No need for formalities, please rise."
Lin Muyu raised her hand and said, "Bring me to Ah Yan and Aunt Luo."
"Yes!"
After receiving the report, Qin Yan and Su Yu walked straight out of the great hall. Qin Yan had a look of joy, "Big Brother, you're back!"
As the Loyal Prince, this brat still maintained the simplicity and innocence of the past. Qin Yan, who was infatuated with the cultivation of martial arts, had already stepped into the Saint Heaven realm, and was only a step away from the God realm. However, his cultivation in the art of a ruler and shrewdness was equivalent to zero. If not for Su Yu assisting him, the Ze Tian Palace would probably have changed owners in less than half a year.
Lin Muyu hugged Qin Yan, the two of them laughing heartily. The joy of reuniting after a long time was self-evident.
Subsequently, Qin Yan turned around to look at Tang Xiaoxi and cupped his fists respectfully. "Qin Yan greets Princess Xi."
Tang Xiaoxi helped him up: "Your Highness Prince Zhong, you don't have to be so polite."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Since the two of you are travel-worn, you can stay in the Ze Tian Palace Hall. I will immediately order people to prepare dinner. Is there anything in particular you want to eat?"
"It's fine as long as it's Ze Tian Palace Hall's food." Lin Muyu rubbed her hands and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten in Lanyan City. Such a good opportunity is hard to come by. Don't you think so, Xiao Xi?"
Tang Xiaoxi nodded, feeling a lump in her throat, but she did not speak. Back then, she, Lin Muyu, and Qin Yin were all in Lanyan City, and the memories of tasting the delicacies of the Ze Tian Palace Hall together seemed to be gone forever. Now that she returned to the Ze Tian Palace Hall again, she felt especially upset in her heart. She really wished that Qin Yin was right in front of her, and that the people she cared about were still around. However, the affairs of the world were unpredictable, and no one could have everything go as they wished.
Not long after entering the great hall, the loud call of an attendant came from outside the hall: "The Duke of the North, Tang Zong, requests an audience!"
"Tang Zong is here!"
Su'Er stood up and said with a smile, "Xiao Xi, he's the son of your second uncle, Tang Jin."
"Mm."
Tang Xiaoxi nodded and smiled. Tang Lan and Tang Lu's rebellion was already something that had been hammered into an iron plate. However, the Empire had not uprooted the Tang family, but had even found a branch of the Tang family's bloodline. How could Tang Xiaoxi not know how much effort they had put into this?
Tang Zong walked in wearing a white robe. His expression was handsome, and he was no longer that little blacksmith from before. His eyes were extremely clear, and after entering, he knelt down on one knee. "Tang Zong pays his respects to Your Highness, Prince Zhong! Pays his respects to Marquis Xining! "
Su Yu smiled. "Tang Zong, there are two more people. Why don't you pay your respects?"
"Ah?"
Tang Zong was startled, because he did not recognize these two people at all. Although he could tell at a glance that Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi were not ordinary people, after all, they had not masked their faces.
Su Yu smiled, pointed at Lin Muyu, and said, "This is Her Highness, Lin Muyu, the Prince of Qin."
"Ah?"
Tang Zong hurriedly knelt down again. "This humble subject pays his respects to Your Highness, the Prince of Qin."
"No need to be so polite."
Su Yu then pointed at Tang Xiaoxi, and said, "Tang Zong, do you know who this beauty is?"
"Tang Zong doesn't know …" He shook his head in confusion.
Su 'Er lightly laughed. "She's your older cousin, Tang Xiaoxi. She's also your only relative in the Ze Tian Palace. Hurry and get to know her. In the future, you'll be family."
"Older cousin …" Tang Zong's eyes couldn't help but redden. "Are you really my older cousin?"
Tang Xiaoxi walked up and gently stroked Tang Zong's arms, helping him up. She said, "As expected … You look a lot like Second Uncle when he was young …"
Tang Zong hurriedly bowed again. "Tang Zong pays his respects to older cousin! Oh, no, pays his respects to the Fu Guo Princess … "
Tang Xiaoxi giggled. "Silly boy, stop bowing. Why are you bowing so much? Don't call me the Fu Guo Princess, just call me older cousin. Hurry and get up. Since you're here, why don't you have dinner with us tonight?"
"Yes, older cousin!"
Tang Xiaoxi looked at Tang Zong's honest appearance and said with a smile, "Tang Zong, from now on, you're the successor of our Tang family. I'll teach you the mental cultivation method of the Fire Fox Seal. I hope that you'll cultivate well and be loyal to the empire. Don't disappoint everyone's high regard and love for you."
"Alright. Thank … thank you, older cousin!"
Tang Zong naturally knew the importance of Tang Xiaoxi's words. This was equivalent to Tang Xiaoxi acknowledging her identity as a member of the Tang clan. This was something that Tang Zong had always dreamed of. Moreover, it was publicly acknowledged that one couldn't become the master of the Seven Seas Tang Sect without cultivating the Fire Fox Seal. Tang Xiaoxi personally imparting the Fire Fox Seal was a great honor!
…
A little later, a winged cavalry warrior came to report, "Prince Xin Feng Jixing's convoy has entered Lanyan City and is heading toward the Ze Tian Palace."
"Dinner isn't ready yet. Big Brother Feng has finally made it in time for dinner. He's really in a hurry!" Lin Muyu smiled.
Tang Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Mu, should we go and welcome General Feng?"
"Mmm."
Lin Muyu nodded. Seeing that Tang Xiaoxi didn't harbor any hatred toward Feng Jixing, he felt at ease. After all, the 100 traitors from the Tang clan, as well as Tang Lu, were all killed by Feng Jixing. If Tang Xiaoxi hated Feng Jixing, there was nothing wrong with that. However, Tang Xiaoxi was a righteous person and knew that Tang Lu and the others were courting death by themselves and had nothing to do with others.
Not long after, several tens of riders left the Ze Tian Palace, heading toward the Tongtian Street to welcome Prince Xin.
From afar, there was an endless stream of carriages, and the flags of Prince Xin and the Empire's Purple Yinhua were connected together. Feng Jixing was riding at the very front of the crowd, flying over. When he saw Lin Muyu from afar, he could not help but let out a hearty laugh and say, "Yu, you're really early!"
"That's right. To think that you even got a guard of honor to come over."
Lin Muyu touched her nose and said, "Big Brother Feng, you've changed. You're no longer that simple and unadorned. You've started to pay attention to extravagance and the prestige of a king. Sigh, I really didn't expect this."
Feng Jixing smiled unhappily and said, "I really feel like hitting you. Do you think that I don't want to fly to Lanyan City alone? But look at what the carriages behind me are transporting. There are over 1,000 Heavenly Books, a tremendous amount of weapons, shields, armors, and rations, as well as 500 carriages of gold and silver. If I don't personally escort them and get robbed by the mountain bandits on the way, wouldn't I be busy in Lingnan for the past half a year? "
"Alright, alright, alright. You're right. The food in the Ze Tian Palace is almost ready. Let's go in and eat while we talk!"
"Alright!"
…
In the palace, a group of maids and attendants kept on serving the dishes. A total of three tables had been set up. After all, Feng Jixing had brought back Zhang Wei, Luo Yu, Chen Xiaoli, and the other generals. There was a need to arrange tables for them.
"Big Brother Feng, I have something to show you." Lin Muyu pulled Feng Jixing to a corner of the palace and took out two sabers from her Qiankun Bag. One was enshrouded in flames while the other was surrounded by wind blades. They were the Crimson Phoenix and Azure Dragon Divine Weapons. Both of them were sub-divine-grade and much stronger than the saint-grade Windcutter Saber.
"Oh my god …"
Feng Jixing could no longer remain calm. He grabbed the Crimson Phoenix with one hand and felt a wave of blazing energy surging into his palm. It actually fused with his Law of Fire and Divine Power in an instant. It was as if the saber had instantly become a part of his body. He instantly entered the realm of being one with the saber. He frowned immediately. "Yu, these two sabers are mine!"
"Do you know how to use dual sabers?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Hahahaha …"
Feng Jixing laughed loudly. "Are you kidding me? The Wind Saber Technique that I created is a different path. It originally had a set of dual sabers. Don't worry. What's so special about these sabers?"
"They're called the Crimson Phoenix and Azure Dragon respectively. They're the weapons of a sovereign in the Ghost Realm."
"You …" Feng Jixing was stunned. "Yu, you're actually helping me get weapons from the sovereign?"
"I didn't. I killed him and took them while I was at it."
"…"
"But I'm not giving these two sabers to you for free!" Lin Muyu said.
Feng Jixing narrowed his eyes. "Name your price. Don't be too harsh. The taxes in Lingnan aren't that high."
Lin Muyu raised two fingers.
"Oh …" Feng Jixing was overjoyed. "At least you have a conscience. Two million Jin Yin coins is enough."
"Who said two million? I want two hundred million Jin Yin coins."
"What? Two hundred million?" Feng Jixing was shocked. "Do you think I'm a tycoon? Two hundred million Jin Yin coins is enough to make the treasury of Xiyang City lose a layer of its skin!"
"That's right." Lin Muyu said, "I still need to ask Ah Yan for another two hundred million. Together with the one hundred million I have, it will be five hundred million."
"Why do you need five hundred million Jin Yin coins?" Feng Jixing was stunned.
"To build a dock in Lingdong Province and build fortress ships and warships."
"…"
Feng Jixing fell silent. But he knew that Lin Muyu's knowledge was definitely outstanding even on the continent. He nodded and said, "Alright, no problem. The Jin Yin coins will arrive in Winterfrost City next month. Just let me know if you need anything else."
"Craftsmen, people who know how to build ships."
"Okay, I'll do my best!"
