After Lin Suyi and Yan Feiwen left, Yang Xuan let the two girls rest first. Then, he stood in the courtyard and began to cultivate. He stood there until the next morning.
"Chirp, chirp."
A naughty little sparrow landed on Yang Xuan's shoulder. It seemed to treat Yang Xuan as a statue and kept jumping on his body.
Yang Xuan slowly stopped cultivating. The spirit energy in his body surged like a vast ocean. The nebula-shaped spirit energy vortex grew a little bigger.
When he opened his eyes, the wood element spirit energy flowed through his body. He emitted a fragrance that made the little sparrow not afraid of him at all. Instead, it felt very comfortable.
Ever since he stepped into the Foundation Establishment Stage, he felt that his body was becoming less and less like a human's. There was a sense of transcendence.
"Little thing, I don't have anything to feed you." Yang Xuan stretched out his hand. The little sparrow landed on his palm and bounced around.
Looking at the cute little sparrow, he suddenly had a thought. There were no demon cultivators in this world. There were only powerful spirit beasts. He wondered if he could take in a spirit beast as a disciple in the future and pass on the cultivation method to him and start the demon cultivator lineage.
Thinking about it carefully, this method was feasible. However, there was a huge problem. Some spirit beasts were not inferior to humans in intelligence, but they did not have a language. How could he pass on cultivation methods?
Shaking his head, Yang Xuan laughed involuntarily. Nothing was set in stone yet. It was better to talk about these things in the future.
The day passed uneventfully. In the evening, the imperial family sent someone to invite Yang Xuan to a banquet.
"Master Yang, the guards of honor sent by my father to pick you up have been waiting for a long time." Yan Feiwen said respectfully at the door.
"Oh?" Yang Xuan stretched out his hand and put down the teacup in his hand. He looked at Yan Feiwen at the door and smiled faintly. "Let's go."
He was also very interested in this Yan Emperor.
At this moment, in Yan Feiwen's residence, the banners were fluttering in the wind, and the ceremonial guards were standing in great numbers. Dozens of officials were standing quietly, and hundreds of royal guards were standing behind the extremely extravagant royal carriage like javelins.
Seeing Yang Xuan come out, the leading official quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Grandmaster Yang, His Majesty was pleasantly surprised when he heard that Grandmaster Yang had arrived. His Majesty has set up a banquet in the Imperial Palace to welcome Grandmaster Yang and has sent us here to welcome Grandmaster Yang onto the carriage."
This official was one of the guests of the First Prince Yan Feiyun's residence yesterday. He had personally witnessed Yang Xuan's display of invincible might and defeat Xuan Wenli. When he saw Yang Xuan looking over, he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, his legs trembled.
"Let's go." Fortunately, Yang Xuan did not want to make things difficult for him and directly boarded the carriage.
The official secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and thought that he was lucky.
The carriage started to move. The royal family's dignity could not be offended, and the entire street was sealed off. Countless commoners hid behind their doors and windows, secretly peeking out. They all wondered which royal family member had come out with such dignity.
After passing through the street, the carriage directly entered the Imperial Palace.
In front of the Imperial Palace's main hall, the Yan Emperor Yan Shixin had been waiting for a long time with the civil and military officials.
"We heard that Grandmaster Yang had arrived yesterday and was unable to personally welcome you. We hope that Grandmaster Yang will be magnanimous." Yan Shixin's face was full of smiles, and his posture was very humble.
He secretly sized up Yang Xuan and was also very surprised. Although he already knew that Yang Xuan was young, hearing about it was one thing and seeing it was another. Now that he saw Yang Xuan so young, he could not help but be shocked.
"His Majesty is busy every day. How could I trouble Your Majesty to personally welcome me?" Yang Xuan cupped his fists.
Yang Xuan did not kneel. The civil and military officials, including Yan Shixin, did not find it strange. Xiantian experts had their own pride. If Yang Xuan had bowed the moment they met, it would have been strange.
The First Prince Yan Feiyun stood behind, his eyes flickering. No one knew what he was thinking.
After exchanging some pleasantries, they entered the main hall. Yan Shixin gave Yang Xuan a seat at the head of the hall, sitting at the same table as Yan Shixin.
"Dear officials, let us raise our cups to congratulate the new Protector of the Yan Empire, Grandmaster Yang Xuan." Yan Shixin stood up and raised his wine cup. His voice spread throughout the hall.
All the officials roared in agreement and stood up, turning their gazes to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan slowly stood up and raised his wine cup. He did not like this kind of scene, but he had to deal with it because of the Yang Clan behind him.
Fortunately, Yang Qingshan would bring people over later. In the future, he would not need to attend such social events.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Xuan raised his cup and drank it in one gulp.
Yan Shixin's face revealed a happy expression. He also raised his cup and drank it in one gulp. The civil and military officials in the hall followed suit and drank all the wine in their cups.
After the wine was drunk, the dancers began to dance, and the attendants began to bring in all sorts of delicacies. The atmosphere gradually warmed up.
"Grandmaster Yang, this prince offended Yang Xuan yesterday. I hope that Grandmaster Yang can forgive this prince." At this moment, Yan Feiyun brought a cup of wine over to Yang Xuan.
"No problem," Yang Xuan indifferently replied, but he did not raise his cup.
Yan Feiyun was given the cold shoulder. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he forcefully suppressed it. He could only drink all the wine in his cup. Then, without saying anything, he turned and left with a dark expression.
As Yan Feiyun walked over, the civil and military officials in the hall had already noticed him. Seeing that Yang Xuan was not giving him any face, they all looked at each other in dismay.
Yan Shixin's eyes also turned misty, but he quickly covered it up and became even more enthusiastic.
"Something's going to happen." Many of the officials could see what was going on, and their hearts trembled.
Yan Feiyun was the successor personally appointed by the old Emperor. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, to be able to become an official at this level, which one of them wasn't a shrewd person? Thus, whether intentionally or not, they would all draw closer to Yan Feiyun.
Many of the officials had participated in last night's matter. They had originally thought that with Grandmaster Xuan Wenli present, losing face for a new Xiantian master wasn't a big deal. Could it be that he could overturn the heavens?
But they had never imagined that Yang Xuan would actually overturn the heavens. Xuan Wenli had been publicly injured and defeated, causing everyone's jaws to drop.
The implications of this were great. If it had been a new Xiantian master, they could still accept offending him. At most, they would just avoid him in the future. But someone who could defeat a veteran Xiantian master with just a few punches and kicks had a limitless future. It was shocking.
Thinking of this, many people inwardly cursed themselves for being blinded by lard and being stupid yesterday.
There were even some people who were secretly planning to bring gifts to Yang Xuan tomorrow to apologize.
There was no way around it. The consequences of offending such a young expert weren't something they could bear. Furthermore, they had heard that this young Xiantian master was a ruthless person who killed people without batting an eyelid.
During the banquet, Yan Shixin gifted Yang Xuan a residence, a number of slaves, and countless treasures. It was truly shocking.
Yang Xuan didn't bat an eyelid. He didn't reject anything and accepted it all.
When Yan Shixin saw that Yang Xuan had accepted all of his gifts, he was very happy and drank several cups of wine.
The banquet continued until late at night. Both the host and the guest had thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The next morning, the imperial family's ceremonial guards came to bring Yang Xuan to the Great Master Hall.
Yan's Great Master Hall was located on the east side of the imperial palace. It was huge and magnificent. It wasn't inferior to the imperial palace.
"Brother Yang, I've been waiting for a long time." Under the guidance of the guards, Yang Xuan entered the hall and saw a person sitting on a praying mat. Seeing him enter, the person revealed a smile.
To be able to call Yang Xuan Brother Yang, it went without saying that this person was a Xiantian master.
That person had a ruddy complexion and white hair. He had a kind face and a smile on his face. He looked like a benevolent elder.
Yang Xuan had already asked Yan Feiwen. It was different from the rumors. At this moment, there were three Xiantian masters in the Great Master Hall. Aside from Xuan Wenli, there were two others. One was called Sun Linlian, and the other was called Gan Yanjun.
Judging from the person's appearance, this person was the Xiantian master, Sun Linlian.
"Brother Sun, I've made you wait for a long time!" Yang Xuan cupped his fists.
"Brother Yang, you're too polite. I didn't expect Yang Xuan to be as young as the rumors say." Sun Linlian's eyes flashed with surprise as he smiled.
At this time, the guards had tactfully retreated. In the spacious but simple hall, only Sun Linlian and Yang Xuan were left.
Yang Xuan took a few steps forward and then sat on the other praying mat in front of Sun Linlian. He smiled and said, "Brother Sun, you're too polite. I was just lucky."
He had learned about the Great Masters in the Great Master Hall. This Great Master Sun was kind and liked to guide the younger generation. He was dedicated to Yan and could be considered a good person.
Seeing Yang Kai's natural and generous demeanor, Sun Lin couldn't help admiring him in his heart, nodding with a smile, "In the past, I have heard of Brother Yang's past deeds of exterminating entire families at the slightest provocation. At that time, I felt that Brother Yang's murderous aura was too heavy and that he was not a good person, but now that I've met him, I can see that Brother Yang is an upright and generous person. It seems that many of the rumours are untrue and cannot be fully believed."
Yang Xuan leaned back slightly and supported himself with his hands. He looked at Sun Linlian and a strange light flashed in his eyes. After a while, he said, "Brother Sun, what if I say the rumors are true?"
"Then those people are courting death!" Sun Linlian smiled and took out the teapot beside him. He poured a cup of tea for Yang Xuan and handed it over.
"Hahahaha!" Yang Xuan laughed and took the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
Sun Linlian also laughed and raised his cup to Yang Xuan and drank it in one gulp.
The two exchanged a few words and felt that the other was magnanimous and upright. The feeling of meeting a close friend arose spontaneously and they felt very happy.
"Brother Sun, I've heard that Brother Sun is the stabilizing force of the Yan Kingdom. Now that I've met you today, I can see that you live up to your reputation. Just based on Brother Sun's breadth of mind, no one can match you." Yang Xuan laughed.
Sun Lianlin also felt happy. He was old and had no hope of breaking through. He was very happy to see that Yan could have such a young Connate Master.
"Brother Yang, you're too polite. Yan can have Yang Xuan's help. It won't be a problem for the country to continue for another hundred years. How fortunate."
The two used tea as wine and chatted happily. They only regretted that they didn't meet sooner.
"Brother Sun, why don't I see Brother Gan?" Yang Xuan suddenly asked.
Sun Linlian paused for a moment and said slowly, "Brother Yang, I heard that you had a conflict with Brother Xuanwen as soon as you entered the city."
The smile on Yang Xuan's face disappeared. He put down the teacup and said, "That's right. When I first came to Yan Capital, Brother Xuanwen directly put me in my place. If I didn't do anything, how would I have a foothold if word got out?"
Sun Linlian smiled bitterly and said, "Xuanwen Li is targeting Brother Yang, so it's fine for Brother Yang to embarrass him. However, Yang Xuan shouldn't have injured the Crown Prince in public. Brother Yang, you might not know, but the Crown Prince is Brother Gan's disciple in name. Brother Yang's action has greatly offended him."
Yang Xuan didn't know that Yan Feiyun was Gan Tingjun's disciple in name.
He injured Yan Feiyun in public back then and embarrassed him at the Royal Family's banquet. Yan Feiyun must have held a grudge against him.
Sun Linlian looked at Yang Xuan thoughtfully and said, "Brother Yang, Brother Gan is very protective. He's now in another country and will return soon. At that time, he will definitely not let Brother Yang go."
Yang Xuan smiled and waved his hand indifferently. "It's fine. Brother Sun, you can rest assured."
Sun Linlian shook his head and said solemnly, "Brother Yang, Brother Gan isn't comparable to Xuanwen Li. Xuanwen Li took the Connate Golden Pellet and barely broke through. However, Brother Gan is a genius. He's only fifty years old and has already reached the peak of Hundred Scatter Heaven. He can break through to One-Line-Sky at any time. His strength is far above Xuanwen Li's. Even I have to admit that I'm inferior. Brother Yang, you can't underestimate him. "
After a pause, he saw that Yang Xuan still had a smile on his face and didn't seem to care. Sun Linlian knew that Yang Xuan didn't take his words seriously. Thus, he sighed and said helplessly, "Brother Yang, you're only twenty years old and you've already broken through to the Connate Realm. Your future is limitless. There's no need for you to have a conflict with Brother Gan now.
