The black wooden boat moved quietly on the lake, its hull trembled slightly, and the water under the boat silently rolled up to the sides and separated, turning into two walls of water, revealing a passage to the depths of the lake.

Yan Mingyue and Gray Crow Ancestor were startled, looking up at Emperor Yan and the ferryman with calm expressions, and seeing Xiao Chen bowing his head slightly, looking unfazed, he suddenly felt a slight feeling.

The wooden boat moved forward quietly, constantly moving towards the depths of the water, and from time to time you could see the fish swimming slowly in the water walls on both sides swinging their tails, which was quite relaxed and comfortable, and was not frightened at all.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen raised his head and looked forward, although the water surface in front of him had not changed, he sensed a faint fluctuation of breath.

Silently, the wooden boat passed through a barrier, and the hull of the boat touched the water again, and by the time it was fully settled, they had fallen into a small pond that was just big enough to hold the wooden boat. Looking up, through a transparent film, you can see the clear lake water, with a few people leaving, the water wall has dissipated, and the lake surface has returned to calm.

Yan Huang took a step and landed right on the bank of the pond and walked down the stone steps.

Xiao Chen's gaze swept over the surroundings, and he lowered his head slightly and followed behind Emperor Yan, but he had already taken the surrounding situation into his eyes. It was a separate space, with a pond anchored by a black wooden boat on the top of a small raised peak, and a small valley below, where a dozen monks were already waiting.

Yan Mingyue and Gray Crow Ancestor followed without saying a word.

"See Your Majesty. ”

Walking down the small peak, more than a dozen monks saluted at the same time, with absolute respect and awe on their faces. But among the dozen monks, one of them just nodded slightly to Emperor Yan, and his face was extremely calm.

Emperor Yan raised his hand slightly and said, "No need to be polite, get up." After speaking, he looked at the monk who had not saluted, with a warm smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Elder, today is just to bother you." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be polite, this is my business. ”

Emperor Yan nodded, the smile on his face became a little thicker, with the status of the person in front of him, it was extremely rare to be able to maintain due politeness to him, he naturally would not expect him to be respectful and awe of him like an ordinary monk, and to be able to maintain his current state, Emperor Yan was already extremely satisfied.

But at this time, he didn't notice that behind him, Xiao Chen and Yan Mingyue's bodies stiffened slightly at the same time.

The sound sounded familiar to them.

Xiao Chen raised his head slightly, and saw clearly the monk standing indifferently in front of Emperor Yan in front of him, and then lowered his head, but his heart was shaken.

This person is indeed the mysterious monk he met in the Yun family's wine shop, light!

Who is he to be here!

From Emperor Yan's conversation with him, it is not difficult to see that the lord of the dignified Yan actually maintained enough politeness when facing him, which is an almost equal way of getting along, and this attitude is amazing.

The light eyes swept over Xiao Chen's body, and a faint smile naturally appeared on his face, and said, "Xiao Chen, little friend, you and I meet again." With that, he nodded slightly to Yan Mingyue.

Xiao Chen sighed slightly, then his demeanor returned to calm, and he bowed respectfully, and said: "When I first saw it, I didn't know the identity of the Lord Guangguang, if there is any offense, please also ask the Lord Haihan." ”

Yan Mingyue also saluted respectfully.

A little surprise flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes, but his face was not shown at all, and he said with a smile: "Elder has met Xiao Chen before?" After the light returned that day, the leader of the guards had already informed Emperor Yan of his whereabouts, and Emperor Yan had already known about his meeting with Xiao Chen, but at this moment, he still had to act like he didn't know.

"When I first came to Jidu, I went to the Yunjia Wine Store once, and it was at that time that I met Xiao Chen's little friend, and I didn't want to see each other today, which can be regarded as fate. The light spoke gently, and although he could guess Emperor Yan's actions without knowing it, he would not break this point, and turned to: "Now I want to congratulate Xiao Chen, Xiaoyou, for the opportunity of my Yan Imperial Family to hunt the galaxy star array, and now I can enter the Shenglong Pond again, and I will envy others." Xiaoyou will definitely contribute to my Dayan in the future, so as to live up to my Dayan's cultivation of you. ”

Xiao Chen's heart moved slightly, he had an inexplicable closeness to the light, although this feeling was quite unfamiliar, but it gave him a faint intuition that the light would definitely not harm him. That being the case, what he said may have another profound meaning. Therefore, after a slight pause, he spoke respectfully and said, "Xiao Chen has been cultivated by Da Yan, and he has been courteous to His Majesty, so he should serve my Da Yan wholeheartedly in the future." ”

Emperor Yan laughed "haha", the result he wanted to get, he didn't want to achieve it under the light of a word, and his heart was naturally happy and happy, "Xiao Qing, if you join my Dayan, I will definitely not treat you badly, you can rest assured." ”

"There is a person close to Xiao Chen who is extremely injured and needs the water of Aoki Divine Spring. In my original intention, I wanted to leave Jidu as soon as possible and go to the Qi country to seek. I don't want Your Majesty to suddenly add three drops of Aoki Divine Spring Water to the Hunting Galaxy Reward. I was still confused before, but now I know in my heart that I have to thank Lord Guangguang for this matter. Xiao Chen spoke sincerely, but the gratitude on his face was from the bottom of his heart.

There was a flash of appreciation in the light's eyes, but there was still a calm look on his face.

On the contrary, Emperor Yan came back to his senses when he heard this, and his eyes looked at the light deeply, becoming a little more gentle. Originally, the Illuminati proposed to add three drops of Aoki Divine Spring Water as the first reward for hunting, but Emperor Yan agreed out of respect for his status. But he has always been puzzled by this matter in his heart, and now that Xiao Chen opened his mouth, he solved the doubts in his heart. Thinking that the light had already noticed the strangeness in him when he first met Xiao Chen, so he would help him in secret, if it weren't for this, how could he recruit Xiao Chen so smoothly now. As soon as he thought of this, Emperor Yan suddenly had a little more affection for the light, and slowly let go of the hidden jealousy in his heart.

Guangguang cultivation is strong, and now he is an elder of the Holy Land, coupled with the respect of the generations in the Great Yan Sect, even Emperor Yan does not have much restraining power over him, and even faintly worried that the Light will use the identity of the Holy Land to compete for power in his hands. After all, the Holy Land Elder, in terms of status, is not inferior to Emperor Yan. But now it seems that he was too cautious. Since the light move faintly revealed a closeness, Emperor Yan naturally wanted to bring him over, after all, being able to get the support of the elders of the Holy Land would have endless benefits for him to smoothly take over the power of the Yan Kingdom.

Xiao Chen bowed his head slightly and said no more, he faintly sensed that the light intended to gain the trust of Emperor Yan, and he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness in his heart, so he would open his mouth to explain this matter and help him. Now that the goal has been achieved, it is natural to grasp the proportions, otherwise it will be too much, and I am afraid that it will attract the suspicion of Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan thought that he had taken Xiao Chen into his hands, and he was sure that he had received the closeness of the light, so he suddenly felt that he was happy, and said with a smile: "Everything is ready, then don't continue to delay." ”

The light smiled slightly, "After the Shenglong Pool is opened, Xiao Chen and the three of them enter it, I don't know when they will come out, Your Majesty is still busy with state affairs and there is no need to wait here, I will take care of this matter." ”

Emperor Yan groaned slightly, then nodded slightly, "In this way, everything will bother the elders, and I will wait for your news." ”

Light smiled and said yes.
