When Ling Xiao stood at the foot of the imperial capital of the Ai Empire again, looking at the bustling city gate, his thoughts seemed to have returned to a few years ago, when he walked into the imperial capital for the first time with apprehension and excitement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In a hurry, several years have passed, and in the past few years, he has gone through hardships, narrowly escaped several times, and when he returned here, he felt more like things were wrong.

"In the past few years, you must have suffered a lot, and after coming back this time, you can enjoy it for a while."

Sighing slightly, Yan Hui's voice came from behind him, he had already known Ling Xiao's experience in the past few years from Mu Wan'er's mouth, don't look at his age, but what he really experienced was more than some adults.

"Actually, it's nothing, although I have experienced many difficulties and setbacks along the way, but along the way, I feel that I have matured a lot and gained a lot."

Smiling lightly at Yan Hui, Ling Xiao was the first to walk into the city gate, he came out of here back then, however, when he came back again, not only did his strength change drastically, but even his mentality also changed.

Staring at Ling Xiao's back, Yan Hui found for the first time that this guy, who was two years younger than him, had already made him a little unable to see through.

Shaking his head gently, Yan Hui muttered a few words, perhaps, this has something to do with Ling Xiao's experience over the years. Thinking of this, Yan Hui couldn't help but envy Ling Xiao, although his status as the first heir of the empire made him have wealth and status that ordinary people could not have, but it was also exchanged for freedom, if he could choose again, he would rather be just an ordinary person.

"Alas, Yan Hui, Yan Hui, you don't want to be in the blessing and don't know the blessing, in this world, I don't know how many people envy you, you just cherish it."

After talking to himself for a while, Yan Hui looked up and found that Ling Xiao was almost gone, so he shouted and waited for me, and then hurriedly followed.

Because Ling Xiao was the main person in charge of the peace negotiations between Ai Yi and the Owo Empire, he needed to report to His Majesty the Emperor first, so Yan Hui would take him directly towards the Imperial Palace.

The imperial palace of the empire is located in the center of the imperial capital, and the orange-red and gold walls shine brightly in the sunlight, giving people a gorgeous but not vulgar visual experience.

"Stop!"

As soon as they approached the palace gate, Ling Xiao and Yan Hui were stopped by the soldiers guarding the palace gate, the long halberd that flashed with cold glow, made people not doubt his sharpness at all, and felt it slightly, Ling Xiao's heart was a little surprised, these soldiers guarding the palace gate actually had the level of a magic wizard.

The magician, anywhere on the continent, belongs to a strong man who is not weak, but in this place, he is only responsible for guarding the gate, and it is also the gate of the periphery.

Turning his head and glancing at Yan Hui, perhaps, only the royal family of the empire can be so wealthy, so that the strong man of the magic wizard can willingly guard the gate, you know, the realm of the magic wizard, even Ling Xiao, has not yet reached it.

However, although Ling Xiao's superficial strength did not reach that of the magicians, he believed that if he really started to do it, these magicians in front of him would probably not be able to hold out in his hands for a minute.

After being stopped, Yan Hui didn't panic in the slightest, he took out a golden token from his underwear, and then stretched it out towards the guard.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing the token clearly, the guards' faces instantly became respectful, and in an instant, they knelt down on one knee, and the slightly erected halberd in their hands was also immediately erected.

Walking in with Ling Xiao, the soldiers no longer stopped them, but, in Ling Xiao's stunned, they passed eleven more levels one after another, and even the last one, even Yan Hui did not get rid of the end of being searched.

Throwing an apologetic look towards Ling Xiao, Yan Hui was quite embarrassed, but these twelve levels are not canceled if he says cancel, even if he really ascends to the Great Unification one day, this rule will not be wasted.

In fact, Ling Xiao was not dissatisfied, this was the Imperial Palace, which was the most confidential and important place in the country, if it was not heavily guarded, it would be strange.

After the twelfth level, Yan Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and now, they can be regarded as truly in the inner garden of the empire, and the twelve levels just now are only the periphery of the palace.

When he arrived at the inner garden, Ling Xiao really found that this place was different from the outside world, when he first stepped into the inner garden, Ling Xiao was stunned by a hot air coming from his face, and then he found that the temperature here was two to three times higher than that of the outside world, in such an environment, the fire element in the air was extremely active, and compared to other elements, it was a little pitiful.

However, although there were not many other elements in the inner garden, for those who cultivated the fire attribute, this place could be called a treasure land of feng shui, and it was not until this moment that Ling Xiao somewhat understood why the Ai Yi Country was called the Eastern Fire Country.

"Ling Xiao, do you know why the temperature in this palace inner garden is so high?"

Laughing at Ling Xiao, Yan Hui swept along the inner garden with his hand, and between the waves of his right hand, he could even see a faint red air flow passing through his fingers, and this rich fire element could almost manifest.

Gently closing his eyes, Ling Xiao felt it with his heart, although he was not a fire attribute magician himself, but he had extreme fire in his body, coupled with his extremely excellent magic perception, his perception affinity for the fire element was even higher than Yan Hui, of course, compared to Yan Yue, who had extreme fire, Ling Xiao was still much worse.

Under Ling Xiao's careful perception, the fire elements in the air suddenly turned into beating flame spirits one by one, and they quickly shrouded Ling Xiao's side, although they could not enter Ling Xiao's body, but they also passed on to Ling Xiao's friendly thoughts.

Under the guidance of countless flame spirits, Ling Xiao's consciousness slowly shifted from the air to the ground, and the ground didn't seem to have any temperature, but vaguely, Ling Xiao felt a trace of strangeness.

When Ling Xiao's mind followed the fire element through the ground, a thick smoke with the smell of sulfur instantly swept his mind, and then, his mind was forcibly repelled from the ground, and vaguely, Ling Xiao saw a sea of fire lava, which was slowly flowing in the depths of the earth.

Consciousness was knocked back into his body, Ling Xiao's whole body shook violently, and immediately, he showed an incredible look, and cast his gaze on the bluestone floor.

Seeing Ling Xiao's gaze on the ground, Yan Hui's face also showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect it, but in just a few breaths, Ling Xiao had sensed the real mystery, such a talent was simply terrifying.

Sighing lightly, Yan Hui's gaze at Ling Xiao was full of weirdness and envy: "Alas, Brother Ling Xiao, your guess is indeed good, the reason why the fire element in this palace inner garden is so rich and active is indeed related to the underground, but this involves the secrets of the royal family, please forgive me......"

"Haha, Hui'er, since you, Brother Ling Xiao, are also the pillars of my Aid, then this secret needs to be concealed again, besides, there are many people who know this secret, and it is not a secret matter for a long time."

Just as Yan Hui was about to hide the secrets of the palace from Ling Xiao, a hearty laugh suddenly came, and the majesty in that voice vaguely resonated with the fire element in the air.

Hearing the voice, Ling Xiao and Yan Hui turned their heads in unison, only to see that not far from them, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe was slowly walking towards them, and with each step, the fire element in the air trembled.

Seeing the man's face clearly, Yan Hui beside Ling Xiao suddenly became excited, and immediately, he immediately knelt on one knee with a happy smile on his face.

"Son-in-law Yan Hui, see my father!"

Although there was a faint guess, when Yan Hui spit out the word father and emperor in his mouth, Ling Xiao really verified the idea in his heart, the majestic middle-aged man in front of him was the most honorable person in the Ai Empire, the emperor of the Ai Empire, Yan Ze. Lu Fei.
