In the palace, the Emperor received the news that the ancient war chariot had entered the city. He immediately summoned Qiao San Ye, General Luo Gongming, and other confidants for a meeting.
They all knew which force had come and had to be prepared to welcome them.
"There is still half a month before the Martial Arts Competition, and they came early. It seems that Prime Minister Song's reputation is not small." Qiao San Ye said as he played with two jade beads.
Qiao San Ye's combat power was not outstanding, but as a senior official of three generations and the teacher of the current Emperor, he had always been giving advice to the Emperor.
"It's normal for the Song family's daughter and son to be taken special care of there." Luo Gongming said faintly. He paused for a moment and added, "I heard a joke a few days ago. Prime Minister Song's youngest son was infected with venereal disease, so the marriage between the Song family and Prince Fu Ping's family was temporarily postponed. I don't know if it was because of this that the force came early."
"Venereal disease … This is something that can't be cured with ordinary elixirs. That child is really dissolute." The Emperor said with a hint of schadenfreude. He then said, "I don't know if my brother will continue to marry with them."
"The marriage is inevitable. This can be seen from the people from the other side." Qiao San Ye said with certainty. He paused for a moment and added, "Your Majesty, I always feel that things are not so simple."
"It's because of this idea that I asked you to come early to prepare." The Emperor said with a frown.
"The people of that force can't interfere with our internal affairs." Luo Gongming said earnestly.
"It's hard to say." Another confidant of the Emperor said.
This person was not handsome and dressed simply. It was not obvious that he was an official, and there was nothing special about him. However, he sat in front of Luo Gongming.
"Mister Liu, what should we do?" The Emperor asked the middle-aged man.
"Let them do it. There is one person who is more unwilling to see this than us. We will add fuel to the fire." The man called Mister Liu said faintly.
Third Master Qiao said, "If that's the case, that brat will hate us."
"That's not right. This is the Emperor's world. Everyone under the heavens must listen to the Emperor's orders. If he doesn't listen, then let him be destroyed." Sir Liu said with a cold expression.
The Emperor slapped the table and praised, "Mr. Liu is right, zhen is the world."
Third Master Qiao and Luo Gongming frowned. They didn't know what to say.
…
Song Mansion.
Song Lirui was greeting the distinguished guests. They were the people from Mount Emei.
There were five famous mountains in the world, namely: Mount Kunlun, Mount Song, Mount Wudang, Mount Shu, and Mount Emei. Each of them had their own sects and were one of the top powers in the Transcendent World. Mount Emei was one of the top powers in the Great Xia Empire.
What was a national power?
It meant that these countries were under the jurisdiction of this faction and belonged to their territory.
Mount Emei ruled over a hundred empires and the Great Xia Empire was only one of them.
Every nation's power was a big shot in the Transcendental World. They occupied a paradise and opened up a sacred land for cultivation, absorbing the outstanding geniuses of all the empires under their jurisdiction to cultivate. The youths of the various empires were their fresh blood and foundation.
Mount Emei basically didn't interfere with the affairs of the empires. The Transcendent World had a rule that none of them were allowed to participate in the conflicts of the mortal world. Only when there was a great calamity would there be a need to interfere.
The Song family had a daughter and a son who had been selected by Mount Emei to become disciples. They had also succeeded in their studies and had become inner disciples.
Mount Emei had tens of thousands of disciples. Most of them were outer disciples. It was extremely difficult for them to become inner disciples. Out of a hundred people, only two or three had the chance to become inner disciples. The Song family's daughter and son had become inner disciples. It was quite amazing.
Those who could become inner disciples were all young kings. Their status was extremely high. No matter where they went, they would be shrouded in a halo.
This time, the eldest daughter of the Song family, Song Jing, had returned. There were two more important people with her. One was a middle-aged woman who was a deacon of Mount Emei and the other was an inner disciple like her. Their status in Mount Emei was not low.
In the main hall of the Song family, Prime Minister Song and a middle-aged woman sat in the main seat. They greeted the people below with smiles. Their attitude was much more cordial than when they were with the Emperor.
The woman in green sitting below them was his eldest daughter, Song Jing. She had an oval face and willowy eyebrows. Her hair was tied up in a bun, revealing her delicate neck. She was tall and slender. No matter how one looked at her, she was a first-class beauty. The only flaw was that her chest was too flat and didn't show her curves.
On her left was a handsome young man. His bangs covered half of his face, only revealing the other half. He looked very cool. His face was always outlined with a few traces of coldness, as if he disdained everything. There was a sapphire belt around his waist, a pair of Blue Cloud Boots on his feet, and a River Diagram Saber on his back. This outfit was enough to make him look like a peerless swordsman.
Huan Junbo was indeed an expert swordsman. He had already comprehended the Saber Will. Among the inner disciples, he was ranked in the top hundred. He was much stronger than Song Jing.
The middle-aged woman sitting beside Prime Minister Song was very calm and reserved. She was dressed like a Taoist nun. Her eyes were closed and she didn't care at all about what others were saying.
Ji Lan Yu was a deacon of Mount Emei. She was a super expert who had surpassed the Earth Sea Realm. Her status in Mount Emei wasn't low.
This time, Ji Lan Yu represented Mount Emei to the Great Xia Dynasty to select the new batch of outer disciples.
With her identity, she should go to the Imperial Family or the Imperial College. However, because of Song Jing and Huan Junbo's pleading, she came to the Song Mansion. All of this was against the rules.
Father, why did you call me back so anxiously? Did something happen? Song Jing asked Song Lirui straightforwardly.
"I don't have much of a problem here. The main problem is that your useless younger brother of yours caused some trouble. Now, the other party has turned over a new leaf and is taking revenge on him. I only have the three of you, and I don't expect your brother to be as successful as the three of you. I'll be satisfied if I let him stay in the Empire and work as an official. But now, I'm afraid he can't even keep his life."
Recently, Song Youming was very unlucky. Not only was he scared by the army outside the city, but he also got infected with venereal disease when he came back. This disease was not fatal, but he was caught red-handed by the princess, Tang Jiaoyan, so the marriage between the two families was temporarily put on hold.
Even if Prince Fu An wanted to join forces with Song Youming, he will not push his daughter into the fire pit. After all, venereal disease was a disease that was shamed by tens of thousands of people.
Youming is still so naughty. This is not good. In the future, the Song Family's face in the mortal world will depend on him. Song Jing frowned. She paused for a moment and said: What is the specific situation? Tell me, who is so bold that even father's face is not good.
Song Lirui took the opportunity to briefly talk about the conflict between the Song Family and the Yang Family. He did not deliberately hide anything. Anyway, there was nothing to hide. Only by making things clear, can he use his daughter's power to solve all these obstacles.
"For a mere Martial Soldier to be able to become a King within a year, this fortuitous encounter is not simple at all," Song Jing said.
Not only is it not simple, he also became the youngest Heavenly Alchemist. He even slapped Medicine King Hall's face. Song Lirui sighed.
Song Jing was taken aback. She wanted to speak, but Ji Lanyu, who has been closing her eyes, suddenly opened her eyes and said: The youngest Heavenly Alchemist, how old is he? Is he more than 30 years old?
Song Zhirui quickly shook his head and said: Less than 30 years old.
Which sect did he join? Ji Lanyu asked again.
I am not clear about this. Song Zhirui said. He paused for a moment and then added: He should have a master, but the other party is mysterious, so I can't find him.
Immediately ask him to come over and ask. If possible, we can absorb him into our Emei Mountain. Ji Lanyu decisively said.
This time, Song Lirui's face froze.
His original intention was to use his daughter and Emei Mountain's power to suppress Yang Wu. But who would have thought that after Emei Mountain's Deacon heard about Yang Wu's matter, he will take Yang Wu into Emei Mountain. This is not good news.
Song Jing looked at Ji Lanyu and said: Deacon Ji, he is my family's enemy.
"So what if it's a battle between mortals? The battle between Transcendents is the direction we pursue. A Heavenly Alchemist under the age of thirty is rare even in the Transcendents. If he joins my Mount Emei and nurtures him with all our might, he will definitely become a leading alchemist of his generation. Such a prodigy cannot be missed." Ji Lanyu said solemnly. Then, she softened her tone and said: "I can help you settle your personal grudges. Don't take it to heart."
"Then, thank you very much, Deacon Ji." Song Jing did not dare to go against Ji Lanyu's words and could only follow the flow.
Song Lirui was an old fox. How could he let Yang Wu join Emei Mountain? If it was like this, wouldn't their Song Family be completely eaten?
"Lord Ji's words are reasonable. Why don't I send someone to call him over and ask him about the situation?" Song Lirui said.
"Alright, Alchemists are quite arrogant. Let Little Jing and Jun Bo go and invite him over." Ji Lanyu replied with satisfaction.
The youth called Huan Junbo smiled faintly and said: "What if he doesn't want to come?"
"If he doesn't want to come, I will personally invite him." Ji Lanyu said with certainty.
She knew the value of a Heavenly Alchemist. This was why she wanted to recruit him at all costs. This was her mission for this trip.
"I feel that whether or not he is a Heavenly Alchemist is still unknown. It is possible that he is a Medicine King. Since Lord Ji has said so, we will definitely invite him. I believe that no one will dare to brush away our Emei Mountain's face." Huan Junbo said with confidence.
Unfortunately, many times, things do not go as one wishes.
