The breeze passed, and a dim black cloud slowly floated along the sky, obscuring the sky.

In the square, everyone looked stern, and their eyes kept sweeping the wide area around them that was almost impossible to hide. The Heavenly Punishment Legion unsheathed its blades, and the faint cold light unique to the Chenqi Sword gathered above its head, defending against situations that might arise at any time like a sword and shield.

"It's Gu Chen!"

Lu Qi, who was also stunned by the sudden voice, suddenly woke up at this time, isn't the owner of this voice the guy who gets along with her day and night.

"Majesty, disturbed Majesty, the little woman is really ashamed, but the person who spoke before is my Chenlou foundry, because of some reason, I only came at this time, and I also asked Majesty to allow them to come in. ”

Lu Qi hurriedly walked in front of the emperor and bent down to give courtesy.

"It's someone from Chenlou?"

Protected by everyone, Emperor Tianyan frowned slightly, he who had been in contact with many puppeteers, he could naturally distinguish from this voice that the person who came should be a powerful puppeteer, but it was the first time that the latter entered the palace like this, and he didn't know how he escaped the layers of guards in the palace.

"Old Five. He nodded to the fifth prince, and after the latter understood and calmed down the crowd, he ordered the eunuch beside him to answer.

In front of the main entrance of the square, the two towering bluestone arches, when a team of heavily armed guards appeared with spears in hand, in the middle of it, there were two slender and elegant figures Xu Xu Xu into the field of vision.

The first one, dressed in black and robed, with blue eyes and silver hair, walked lightly and vigorously, and there was a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. Behind him, a man of his age, but unusually well-dressed, came with him, and the latter gave people a feeling of extreme discomfort at first glance.

"In the Guchen Building, meet Your Majesty. ”

When he got closer, Gu Chen did not walk up the stairs, but stood on the side of the Heavenly Punishment Legion, bowing slightly to the person who was serving in the center of Minghuang.

"Bold! Seeing that my emperor dared not to kneel, Chenlou was really arrogant. ”

As soon as Qiu Tian saw Gu Chen's understatement, he suddenly came to his senses and shouted loudly. And under his words, not only were he still standing on the ladder of high-ranking officials and nobles, but even the five princes couldn't help frowning when they saw this.

"Who are you?" Gu Chen's face did not change, he just glanced at Qiu Tian contemptuously and chuckled.

"Hmph, I am the dean of the Royal Foundry Academy of the Tianyan Empire, with your identity, I should kneel three times and knock nine times when I see my emperor, but I don't know that if I offend the power of my emperor, I should be punished by the nine clans. Qiu Tian shouted again.

"Oh, then thank you Dean Qiu for the reminder. Gu Chen nodded, standing in place, still without the slightest intention of moving.

As his last words fell, the world suddenly froze.

Who is this man who doesn't seem to be very old? Why is he still so arrogant when he sees His Majesty, he simply doesn't take His Majesty in his eyes. This thought came out of everyone's hearts unconsciously, and then even the eyes of the former changed a lot.

In the impression of the fifth prince, although he has only seen this black-robed man twice, he feels that he is a gentle and elegant mysterious man without the slightest edge, why is he completely different today, he has become sharp, and just standing there creates an invisible sense of oppression.

Lu Qi was even more sluggish, and when she fully reacted, she smelled the different smell on him.

What does he want to do?

In the center, Emperor Tianyan's face changed slightly, and he was slightly condensed, but this contemplation was well hidden after only a moment: "Why don't you two kneel when you see the widow?"

"Huh...... Bowing down is just a secular ritual, and since I can remember, I haven't knelt to anyone except my parents. Gu Chen said flatly.

The heavy duty all gasped, this is a big talk, you must know that even those powerful puppeteers, here, they have to perform three kneels and nine bows. A young man who has just come of age, even if he is also a puppeteer, is not polite.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are foolish, these two people are really arrogant, even if they punish their nine clans, it is difficult to hide their repeated offenses. Qiu Tian turned around and kowtowed again, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Gu Chen, who was smiling coldly at him, and suddenly couldn't help but feel cold all over his body. That look is simply what the bloodthirsty beast has.

"Your Majesty, these two little brothers, they shouldn't know how to count royal etiquette, but for their sake, it's better to ...... for their sake."

The fifth prince quietly gave Emperor Tianyan a look.

"Your Majesty, the two of them don't know the etiquette, it's really the little woman who has no way to do it, but the two of them categorically don't want Dean Qiu to say, deliberately offend Tianyan, if you want to punish, the little woman is also guilty of the crime of not being strict, please punish Your Majesty. On the side, seeing that the fifth prince stepped forward to start a round, Lu Qi couldn't stand still, so he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"That's it, for the sake of today's heavenly punishment, let you two be exempted from the sin of disrespect. Emperor Tianyan rubbed the jade wrench on his thumb and said, "You two are the foundry masters of Chenlou?"

"I am, he isn't. Gu Chen smiled, and didn't forget to point at Ren Yao beside him, which caused the latter to roll his eyes.

"Since you are a foundry, I heard what you said before, and I am willing to compete with Dean Qiu?"

"It's Dean Qiu's invitation, if we postpone it, it will really be unsatisfactory. Gu Chen said, and then glanced at Qiu Tian, who was lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking, although this person was extremely powerful, but he could be the head of the foundry, it was absolutely impossible without two brushes.

It's just that if he really wants to test the casting technique, how can he be inferior to him who can refine a peerless divine weapon like Chen Qi Sword.

"Okay, since you agreed, the time and place are up to you, and when the time comes, let's open the eyes of those of us present to see what the casting master who forged the Chenqi Sword is. Emperor Tianyan said.

Gu Chen shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Otherwise, the time and place will be chosen by Dean Qiu, after all, how can we, who are not in the stream, compare with a casting master like Dean Qiu?"

"Although I don't know much about Dean Qiu, I also know that he is the first caster of the empire, since he is a figure like Mount Tai Beidou, the kid naturally does what Dean Qiu asks. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help grinning again, wanting to laugh, but they weren't embarrassed to laugh.

Where is this kid respecting Qiu Tian, he clearly looks down on this first foundry master of the empire, listening to the implication of his words, all the conditions only need to be proposed by Qiu Tian, and he can fully meet them.

This is no longer pride, it is simply arrogant!
