About six or seven days later, Lian Chong came back.
"His Majesty has agreed to meet you!" he said. At the same time, he moved to the side, revealing an old man behind him.
The old man looked to be around 60 or 70 years old. His eye bags were heavy and his eyes were muddy yellow. They were also covered in eye wax.
"Let's go. I hope you won't disappoint His Majesty." The old man trembled. He even coughed twice, making one wonder if he would die in the next moment.
Someone stepped forward to open the door and chains for Yang Xuan.
The old man turned around and left. He didn't even want to say a word.
On the other hand, Lian Zhong smiled and said, "This is Pavilion Elder Zhang Zhong Yang, an important official of His Majesty."
Yang Xuan nodded to show that he understood.
After exiting the cell, Zhang Zhong Yang's fleet was already waiting.
He learned from Lian Zhong that Zhang Zhong Yang didn't come to Imperial Guard One just for Yang Xuan. Instead, he had other matters. Bringing Yang Xuan back to the imperial court was just on the way.
Lian Xiao was waiting outside. When she saw Zhang Zhong Yang come out, she quickly went up and bowed, "Elder Zhang."
Zhang Zhong Yang revealed a rare smile and said, "Little Xiao, you've caused a lot of trouble for your father this time. I owe him many favors."
Lian Xiao revealed a sweet smile for the first time, "Elder Zhang, when are you coming again? I'll make sweet crisp pork ribs for you."
"Haha, good good good, I'll wait to eat your sweet crisp pork ribs." Zhang Zhong Yang smiled.
Lian Zhong walked over and smiled, "Elder Zhang, you've been bought over by this little girl. Speaking of which, as her father, I can't even eat her sweet crisp pork ribs."
Elder Zhang laughed and didn't say anything else. He only said to the guards who came over, "Let's go. Prepare to set off."
A huge fleet took off from Imperial Guard One, covering the sky and the sun.
Zhang Zhong Yang was an important official of the imperial court, so he naturally couldn't go out casually. There were more than 100 corvettes in this fleet and a terrifying 50,000 guards.
Yang Xuan and Zhang Zhong Yang boarded different ships.
With Zhang Zhong Yang's status, it was already rare for him to come and see him.
The person in charge of receiving Yang Xuan was a thin imperial court official. He might be one of Zhang Zhongyang's trusted subordinates. He had some understanding of the inside story behind Yang Xuan's entry into the imperial court, so his attitude was rather polite.
"Master Li, I am Chen Xiangqian. Based on the rules, you can't bring any weapons into the Imperial Dynasty. If you have any weapons, you can pass them to me and I will return them to you."
Yang Xuan originally didn't have any weapons, but he was careful. When he was in Imperial Guard One, he left his storage ring in the Forgotten Land and didn't bring it out.
"I don't have any weapons," he said.
Chen Xiangqian made an apologetic expression, then took out a device that Yang Xuan had never seen before and scanned Yang Xuan.
"There's no problem," he said as he put away the instrument.
Imperial Guard One was the closest satellite to the Imperial Dynasty, so it wasn't too far away. The huge fleet didn't need to move at full speed. After an hour, they landed on the golden Imperial Star.
Looking out from the porthole, the entire Imperial Star was very flat and empty. There were almost no buildings.
However, at the end of his line of sight, there was a circular cluster of buildings that stretched to the horizon.
In the center of the circle of buildings was a majestic golden building. It was like a tower, but it wasn't a design.
From Chen Xiangqian, he learned that this was the center of the entire human race — the Imperial Dynasty.
Zhang Zhongyang's fleet landed in a huge airport early on. Then, Yang Xuan was led by Chen Xiangqian onto a vehicle that looked like the Blue Planet's limousine from back then.
Only Zhang Zhongyang and Yang Xuan were in the car.
When the car flew into the air, Zhang Zhongyang said calmly, "Young man, out of billions of people, only a few can see His Majesty. I hope you cherish this opportunity."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Elder, don't worry. I understand."
Zhang Zhongyang continued, "I heard from Lian Zhong that you have a certain medicine recipe that's very important to the military. But you only said it after seeing His Majesty. Young man, I can understand your eagerness to take credit. Also, this move is a good move, but …"
He paused for a moment before continuing, "But this is a double-edged sword. Don't turn around and hurt yourself."
"If you injure yourself, then you can only blame your bad luck. You can't blame anyone else." Yang Xuan smiled.
"It's good that you can see past it." Zhang Zhongyang leaned back and didn't say anything else. He closed his eyes and rested.
After a while, he suddenly said, "You're late stage Heaven Realm?"
Yang Xuan nodded. "Yes."
Zhang Zhongyang opened his eyes again and nodded. "Not bad. From your aura, you're very young. To reach Heaven Realm is not bad."
"Elder, you praise me too much." Yang Xuan didn't know what he meant.
"I heard you helped the border Meng family refine medicine?" Zhang Zhongyang asked again.
Yang Xuan didn't find it strange. "I did refine it once."
Zhang Zhongyang closed his eyes again. "Meng Yan is a good young man. I don't like you tricking him."
Yang Xuan didn't know how to respond.
He didn't find it strange that Zhang Zhongyang knew about him tricking Meng Yan.
He wanted to see the Lord of the Imperial Court. It would be strange if the Imperial Court Guard didn't dig up his past.
The problem now was that he didn't know what Zhang Zhongyang wanted to say. He was beating around the bush and making people confused.
"Meng Liuke isn't a good person. Back in the day, during the Nine Guards' rebellion, Meng Liuke displayed great power. We couldn't underestimate him. He's an outstanding person." Zhang Zhongyang said slowly.
Meng Liuke was Meng He's father, the head of the Meng family. Yang Xuan naturally knew this.
However, he didn't know why Zhang Zhongyang brought this up.
"Meng Liuke has a classic saying." Zhang Zhongyang looked at Yang Xuan and continued, "He once said, 'I can be killed, but I can't be deceived.' Do you know what that means? "
Without waiting for Yang Xuan to reply, he made a note of his own. "It means that Meng Liuke can injure and kill, but he can't be deceived. Therefore, I look forward to it. "
Yang Xuan's eyes narrowed.
"You tricked the Meng family. I look forward to the moment you face Meng Liuke." Zhang Zhongyang smiled like an old fox. "Therefore, I suggest that rather than asking for some reward from His Majesty, you should think about how to get a protective talisman."
After going around in such a big circle, Yang Xuan finally understood Zhang Zhongyang's meaning.
"What do you want?" he asked directly.
"A smart person." Zhang Zhongyang smiled and said, "His Majesty has a pill recipe called the Exquisite Formula. I think Master Li should be very interested in it."
Yang Xuan took a deep breath and exhaled.
He suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a large net step by step. He felt as if he couldn't control himself.
Then, he couldn't help but laugh. What was the point of this?
He just wanted to use the Rejuvenation Pill to attract the attention of the head of the imperial court. However, he didn't expect that he would attract the attention of various factions and create such a huge wave in the dark that he couldn't see clearly.
Just as his thoughts were like a tide, the carriage slowly came to a stop.
"Sir Zhang, we're here," someone said in a low voice outside the carriage.
"Master Li, we're here." Zhang Zhongyang smiled at Yang Xuan and made an inviting gesture.
