Lu Jun and Shi Jing saw that the business had been negotiated, and exchanged a few words with Manager Qian, and were about to get up to say goodbye. Suddenly, a sharp voice outside the door shouted: "By the emperor's command, Shi Jing, the main master of Xuantianxing Church, and Ye Lan, the young master of Ye Xiangju, will meet you!"

Ye Lan heard that the emperor had summoned him, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and then the corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes showed joy. He was full of curiosity about this emperor who cultivated in the Yuan Infant Realm, and he had long wanted to see him, but now when he heard the call, he couldn't ask for it.

Although Lu Jun has lived on the side of the Forbidden Palace for a long time, he has never seen the emperor. As a citizen of Tianning, he is also like other people, he respects Ning Zhan like a god, and when he hears that the Holy Lord wants to see the young master, he feels excited and frightened, for fear that the young master does not understand etiquette and offends Tianyan. Then he said to Ye Lan: "Young master, the saint suddenly summoned, I don't know what the will is, you should be careful in front of the saint, don't talk nonsense." ”

Ye Lan listened, nodded, and agreed casually. Lu Jun saw his careless appearance, and felt even more worried, so he turned his head to Shi Jing and said: "Shi Hall Master, the young master of my family is facing the saint for the first time, and he doesn't understand all the etiquette at all.

Shi Jing said with a smile: "Master Lu can rest assured, our Emperor His Majesty is kind and kind, and he will not put on a show for our fellow cultivators, His Majesty summoned the two of us, and it is nothing to think about, but I just heard that there is a new master of the Jindan Realm entering the palace, so I want to see it." ”

Lu Jun felt that Shi Jing's words were reasonable, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still said: "It's always wrong to be careful." Young master, I'll go back to Ye Xiangju first and wait, after you face the saint, please go back quickly!"

Ye Lan nodded in response, and walked out with Shi Jing. The little eunuch who came to deliver the decree is currently leading the way and leading the two of them to the palace. The three of them walked for half an hour, and when they came to a palace, the little eunuch said to them, "You two wait here, let me enter the palace and report." After a while, he walked out quickly, and said to the two, "Please two of you." ”

Ye Lan followed behind Shi Jing and slowly walked into the main hall. The little eunuch turned to the right and entered a large study. When Ye Lan looked up, he saw a young man sitting behind the desk, reading the chapters, and there were more than ten people standing under the table, divided into two columns, all of them with low eyebrows, and they couldn't see their faces clearly for a while.

Shi Jing saw that the young man behind the desk raised his head, smiled at himself and Ye Lan, and then stepped forward quickly, stopped in front of the desk, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed down and said: "Shi Jing see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Ye Lan had never seen the emperor, and he didn't know how to salute, but when he saw Shi Jing bowing and saluting, he did the same, clasped his fists and bowed, and shouted long live.

After shouting a long live sentence, before he could stand up straight, he heard a person on the right say coldly: "After all, the Tianxing Sect is among the twelve major sects of the righteous path, and Shi Jing is the hall master of the Ningdu branch of the Tianxing Sect.

Ye Lan raised his head and looked at the person who spoke, only to see that the man was wearing a purple robe, with a gold belt around his waist, and his face was more than thirty years old, his eyes were blazing, and he was shining brightly, showing that he was a cultivator, but he couldn't see how he cultivated.

Ye Lan wanted to see the emperor, and it was okay to bow down, but this person spoke so rudely, it was really annoying. I didn't know how to deal with it, and I suddenly heard Shi Jing say in a deep voice: "My Ye brother is an overseas casual cultivator, and he can't be regarded as a citizen of Tianning, besides, the saint has already made a will, all monks above the Jindan realm, the face saint only talks about the ritual of cultivating the true and the same way, and there is no need to perform the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the national teacher is not ignorant of this matter, but he still speaks like this, is it to give my Ye brother a dismount?"

The national teacher was stunned for a moment, and was about to answer, but saw a middle-aged man in a yellow robe standing first on the left and said: "The master of the stone hall said that he is an overseas casual cultivator and not a citizen of Tianning, which is really a big fallacy! Mo said that he is the young master of Ye Xiangju, and he is under the king, that is, he is from overseas, how can he not be the people of Tianning?

Shi Jing smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is majestic and strategic, with the four seas in mind, Shi is waiting for His Highness to show his might and build an immortal career!"

Ye Lan knew that this prince's name was Ning Xun, and he was also a cultivator of the Jindan Realm, but he didn't expect that he was such a middle-aged man, but he looked much older than Ning Zhan, the emperor.

Ning Xun heard the meaning of Shi Jing's words, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and then a trace of uneasiness welled up, he turned his head to look at Ning Zhan behind the desk, and saw that there was no strange look on his face, so he put his mind at ease, turned his head and glared at Shi Jing angrily, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

Ning Zhan finished reading the fold in his hand, brushed a few strokes on the fold, closed the fold, raised his head and smiled: "Okay, okay, since everyone is in the line of cultivation, there is no need for so many courtesies." ”

Shi Jing arched his hand again and said, "Your Majesty!"

But I heard the national teacher Yin Yang and said weirdly: "The saint only allows monks above the Jindan realm to worship the saint, how this kid cultivates, none of us have seen it, he said that he is the Jindan realm, and I don't know if it's true." ”

Shi Jing snorted coldly and said, "Brother Ye and I entered the palace together, the national teacher doesn't believe that he is in the Jindan Realm, so he can't believe Shi?"

The national teacher said with a smile: "There are bragging villains everywhere, and the master of the stone hall is above board, so he thinks that everyone is a frank gentleman, and if he is accidentally deceived by others, it is also ordinary." ”

Shi Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Then the national teacher sees if Shi is a villain who blows New Year's skins?"

"Why did the stone hall master say this, did he personally try this kid's catties?"

"Yes, Brother Ye and I don't know each other, more than a month ago, Shi had a big fight with him due to some small misunderstandings. ”

Ning Zhan had just reopened a piece of music, and when he heard this, he suddenly put down the fold, raised his head, and asked with interest: "Have you fought a big battle with him?"

Shi Jing said calmly: "Brother Ye's Taoism is exquisite, and Shi is not his opponent. ”

Ning Zhan sighed, turned his head to look at Ye Lan, and asked, "Your name is Ye Lan, listen to the guard's report, you are just a cultivator of the Xuan Realm, and Shi Jing is already a leader in the fourth layer of the Jindan Realm, what means did you use to win him?"

Ye Lan would never tell others the secret of Xuantian Wuji Gong, and when he heard Ning Zhan ask, he replied softly: "It was Brother Shi's carelessness that allowed me to get lucky, in fact, if I talk about real skills, with my ability, where is Brother Shi's opponent." ”

Ning Zhan bowed his head and said: "Victory is not arrogant, not bad, not bad." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted the folds on the pile, turned to the prince and said, "Xun'er, I see that this little friend is interesting and want to have a few drinks with him, you can review these folds as you like, and if you have any doubts, you will discuss countermeasures with the prime minister and the ministers." ”

Ning Xun nodded in response, and the ministers bowed down together to receive the order. Ning Zhan stood up and smiled at the ministers: "We want to talk about some cultivation matters, and if you don't understand it, don't come with it." Then he turned to the national teacher and said, "Yan Lie, if you are fine, you might as well come and have a few drinks together." ”

Yan Lie glanced at Ye Lan, bowed to Ning Zhan and said, "There is an order for the saint, how dare you disrespect it." ”

Ning Zhan walked out of the bookcase and said to the old eunuch who was waiting on the side: "Pass the decree and set up a banquet in the Shouxian Palace." ”

The eunuch bowed down and said, "Huh!" straightened up and shouted: "There is a decree in the saint, and a banquet will be held in the Shouxian Palace." ”

The group walked out of the upper study and walked towards the deep palace, Ning Zhan's feet were not slow, but his body was surprisingly fast, the old eunuch followed him, and he followed suit, and he didn't fall at all. Ye Lan followed the two of them, and saw that this eunuch's cultivation was not weak, and he secretly wondered in his heart: "The book says that the eunuch must cut off all the roots before he can enter the palace to serve the royal family, look at this old eunuch's body method, the cultivation is really not low, but how can there be a monk in the world who is willing to be a lowly and willing to be a eunuch? Yes! This person must have been purified since he was a child, and Ning Zhan saw that he was loyal, so he passed on some Taoism to him." It's just that the eunuch's five bodies are incomplete, they are congenitally deficient, and they are successful even if they are small, and they can't cultivate the Fa of the Immortal Family after all. ”

The five of them were all fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had traveled dozens of miles, and before they came to the Shouxian Palace, Ning Zhan stopped his body and slowly walked into the palace. The eunuchs and maids in the palace are coming and going, and they are setting up a banquet, and there are two huge tables in the hall, and the wine and food on the table have not yet been prepared. Ning Zhanjing walked to the top table and sat down, Ye Lan also stepped forward honestly and unceremoniously, and wanted to sit with Ning Zhan, but suddenly felt that his arm was tight, and he was pulled by Shi Jing and dragged to the next table.

Ye Lan was stunned, and when he saw Yan Lie's eyes showing mockery, he realized that the emperor was noble, and no one could sit and drink with him, so he had to sit at a table alone. He smiled slightly, sat down, and said secretly: "No wonder the emperor is called a lonely widow, but he really wants to put up a lonely family everywhere, and he can't even sit and drink with others, so what's the taste of this wine?"

The wine and food are complete, the table is full of delicacies, Ye Xiang's family is rich and rich, Ye Lan is the young master of Ye Xiangju, and he has long been tired of all kinds of sumptuous feasts. He remembered that the manager said that this egg costs sixty taels of silver, plus the tea leaves for boiling the eggs, firewood, etc., and this tea egg is afraid that it will cost about one hundred taels of silver. Ye Lan made up his mind in his heart, and when Ning Zhan spoke and opened the banquet, he would definitely taste the taste of this precious royal tea egg.

After the wine and food were served, the palace maids who set up the meal came out, and a few little eunuchs came up and filled their cups with wine, Ning Zhan raised his wine glass, and made a slight gesture to the three of them, without speaking, and drank it all.

Seeing this, Ye Lan also raised his glass and drank, but Shi Jing and Yan Lie both stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the wine!"

Ning Zhan put down his wine glass and smiled at Ye Lan: "Brother Lan, you said that you are from overseas, I heard that all overseas places are under the control of the Beihai Dragon Clan, you have lived overseas for a long time, have you ever dealt with the people of the Dragon Palace?"
