"Second Elder's disciple?"

Hearing Helian Fengxiao's words, Wu Tian immediately frowned......

If he remembered correctly, the second elder of the inner gate of the Helian family should be Helian Yuanyu, but as far as Wu Tian knew, it seemed that the second elder had only one apprentice, and that was Zhou Lingwei.

Could it be that this Concubine Li is related to Zhou Lingwei?

Thinking that in the Helian family before, Zhou Lingwei had repeatedly opposed him, Wu Tian couldn't help but feel a chill, and a murderous intent was born in his heart.

"The sky is less, the sky is less ......"

Helian Fengxiao was trembling by Wu Tian's murderous aura, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's fine!"

Waving his hand, Wu Tian frowned and said, "Has the Second Elder accepted other apprentices in recent years?"

"Nope!"

Helian Fengxiao shook his head, and then quickly said bitterly, "Tianshao, you also know that I am just a person from the outer gate, and I have been here in this Drifting Snow City for several years!

"Well, alright, it's okay!"

Wu Tian nodded, "You go back first! But remember, my identity must not be revealed to anyone, not even the other Helian people who came here with you! In addition, assist Aunt Xu and Qian Lao in the investigation, I want to know if it is Concubine Li's black hand on me!"

"Yes, the subordinates are retired!"

"Go ahead!"

After getting Wu Tian's permission, Helian Fengxiao quickly left again, leaving Wu Tian to sit here alone, holding a teacup in his hand, quietly looking at the somewhat dim sky above his head, his brows furrowed slightly, but he felt more and more that things might be a little troublesome.

If Concubine Na Li was really related to the Second Elder, then this matter would be really difficult to deal with.

As for whether it was really Concubine Li who sent someone to attack him, is it important?

"What are you thinking?"

Suddenly, Xu Shan approached and gently hugged Wu Tian's neck from behind, most of his weight was leaning on Wu Tian's back, especially the two peaks on his chest made Wu Tian feel a squeeze, as if their pair was getting bigger and bigger.

"Hehe, nothing!"

Wu Tian smiled, turned around and hugged Xu Shan into his arms, let him sit on his lap, and then said, "It's so late, you haven't slept yet?"

"I can't sleep!"

Xu Shan twisted her delicate body, chose a comfortable position, leaned her head on Wu Tian's shoulder, and said softly, "Wu Tian, do you feel a little troublesome?"

"It's a little, but it doesn't matter!"

In the face of his own woman, Wu Tian was not reckless, nodded and then smiled suddenly, "What can be difficult to stop your man......?" Relax, I don't think it will be long before it comes to light!"

"Cut, cheeky, shameless!"

Xu Shan sighed lightly, feeling Wu Tian's pair of salty pig hands wandering, her pretty face suddenly flushed, as if she was even breathing a lot.

............

"What, you want me and Xiao Si to enter the palace?"

In the backyard of Huacui Manor, Qin Tianxiao and Qin Zhiwei, two brothers and sisters, visited in person, but they said that their father had invited Wu Tian and Xu Shan into the palace.

How could this not surprise Wu Tian?

Of course, in addition to being surprised, he was a little vigilant in his heart.

"Yes!"

Qin Tianxiao smiled and bowed his head, "It was my father who said it himself, and he also wants to meet you, the first day talent of the famous mainland!"

"When?"

"Tonight, my father will hold a family banquet in the Imperial Garden, and apart from our family, only you and Miss Xu are invited!"

"Alright, let's go!"

"Well, I'll pick you up tonight!"

"Hmm!"

That night, a luxury carriage slowly drove into the gate of the palace of the Drifting Snow Empire, after all, it was a palace, and it was impossible to let the carriage enter at will, but under Qin Tianxiao's personal negotiation, in the end, those palace guards were still allowed to go, and they gradually stopped all the way to the gate of the imperial garden.

The Drifting Snow Empire is located in the north of the Qingcang Continent, and there is a significant difference in climate from the Celestial Star Empire, and the various flowers in the Imperial Garden are also different, which can be regarded as another kind of visual enjoyment for Wu Tian and Xu Shan.

"Brother Wu, Miss Xu, please!"

"Please!"

Accompanied by Qin Tianxiao and Qin Zhiwei, Wu Tian and Xu Shan walked slowly into the Imperial Garden, surrounded by five steps, one sentry, ten steps and one post, although it is not heavily guarded, but it is also a certain level of garrison, and because of the addition of Wu Tian and Xu Shan, they have to make their guards more careful.

In the center of the Imperial Garden, there is a lake that is like spring all year round, and this so-called banquet is arranged in a pavilion above this lake.

When Wu Tian and Xu Shan arrived, the emperor Qin Pu of the Drifting Snow Empire, Empress Zhao Rongzhen, as well as Concubine Li, the eldest prince Qin Tianyu, the second prince Qin Tianxi, and the fourth prince Qin Tianxiao were already sitting there, but there was another acquaintance, that is, Helian Fengxiao, whom Wu Tiancai had secretly seen.

In addition to them, several palace maids stood by with wine jugs so that they could pour wine at any time.

"The sons see the father, the queen, and the concubine!"

Qin Tianxiao and Qin Zhiwei stepped forward to salute, and as for Wu Tian and Xu Shan, they also bent down and saluted, looking humble,

"Bold!"

Before His Majesty Qin Cao could speak, the fourth prince, Qin Tianlin, immediately said angrily, "Wu Tian, Xu Shan, what crime should you be guilty of when you see that your father and emperor don't kneel?"

His Majesty Qin Cao didn't speak, his face was calm and he couldn't see his joy or anger, but Wu Tian smiled indifferently and said, "Respect is in the heart, not contrived! I don't know where His Royal Highness the Fourth Princes shouted like this, and put His Majesty and Niangniang? Or does His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince think that he can give orders on behalf of His Majesty?"

These words made Qin Tianlin's face panic instantly, and he hurriedly stood up from his seat, "Father, that's not what the son meant!"

"Hehe, it's okay!"

His Majesty Qin Cao waved his hand and laughed loudly, "I have already said that there is no need to be formalized today!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Tian nodded, and led Xu Shan to sit down in the position that had been arranged, but suddenly felt that several eyes fell on him......

pretended to look up inadvertently, and the owner of the gaze caught out of the corner of his eye.

Among them, Concubine Li smiled slightly, and seemed to be extremely gentle; the fourth prince Qin Tianlin's eyes were gloomy, as if he wanted to break Wu Tian's body into ten thousand pieces; the eldest prince Qin Tianyu had the style of His Majesty Qin Cao, his eyes were clear, but with a trace of curiosity, as if he was wondering why Wu Tianhui had such a reputation at such a young age; the eyes of the second prince Qin Tianxi were quite sharp, and they swept over Wu Tian and Xu Shan from time to time, but in fact, Wu Tian felt that this Qin Tianxi seemed to have a deep hatred and dissatisfaction with him.

As for the other pair of eyes, they belong to Queen Zhao Rongzhen, which looks graceful and luxurious, and has the style of the mother of a country.

Only, Helian Fengxiao sat there quietly drinking tea, as if none of this had anything to do with him.

"Tianshao, this is the second time I've seen you!"

His Majesty Qin Cao didn't seem to notice the somewhat strange atmosphere this time, and said with a smile, "In the Heavenly Star Empire Arena that day, Tianshao was so powerful that you defeated Han Bo, the champion of the alchemy competition, in one fell swoop, it was really an eye-opener for me!"

"Huh...... Your Majesty has overdone it!"

Wu Tian bowed slightly, "It's just luck, I'm just a fluke!"

"Yes, it may be for other people, but for you, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"

His Majesty Qin Cao smiled slightly and continued, "To be honest, I have a very good relationship with Brother Gongye! Brother Gongye is full of praise for you!"

The 'Gongye Brother' in his mouth was none other than the City Lord of Tianxuan City of the Heavenly Star Empire, known as the ninth-order alchemist closest to the Medicine Saint, Gongye Taoze!

"That's Uncle Gongye's praise!"

Wu Tian smiled lightly, "I'm just a junior! Thanks to Uncle Gongye and His Majesty's praise, I'm really ashamed!"

"All right, Your Majesty!"

Empress Zhao suddenly said softly, "Let's eat first, don't let the children go hungry!"

As she spoke, Zhao Rongzhen, the queen, looked at Wu Tian more and more kindly, making Wu Tian faintly feel that it seemed that this Empress Zhao should know herself, this kind of thought came inexplicably, which made Wu Tian extremely puzzled.

"Yes, yes, eat first, eat first!"

His Majesty Qin Cao smiled loudly, and immediately ordered his subordinates to start passing the dishes, and all kinds of dishes were brought up in an instant, all of which were the specialties of the Drifting Snow Empire, and the imperial chef did his best, and it was even more colorful, flavorful, and delicious just by looking at it.

"Come, you're welcome, everyone eats!"

Empress Zhao smiled and said, "Marquis Helian, you can eat too! Don't be polite, just treat it as your own home!"

"Yes, just listen to the queen, let's move the chopsticks!"

Immediately, everyone began to eat, staggered, and drank a glass of wine from time to time, and the atmosphere seemed quite kind on the surface, and the palace maids standing behind everyone would obediently fill up again after they drank the wine in the glass......

After eating a meal for nearly an hour, Wu Tian and Xu Shan were not polite, and ate happily, not feeling any difference between this royal banquet and ordinary family banquets except for the slightly better taste.

For the extremely accustomed actions of the two, the expressions of the other people present were different, especially the fourth prince Qin Tianlin, who seemed to be eager to treat Wu Tian as a dish on a plate, and fiercely clamped it and fed it into his mouth and bit it into pieces......

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the second prince Qin Tianxi, when eating, his eyes will pass over Wu Tian from time to time, and he looks extremely jealous.

This made Wu Tian more and more puzzled, it seems that there is no intersection between him and the second prince, right?

After the meal, there were many delicate fruits and fragrant teas, and everyone sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, enjoying the breeze on the lake at night, but it was quite comfortable.

Suddenly, Concubine Li, who had not spoken, said slowly, "Tianshao, I heard that the son of this palace was a little unhappy with you a few days ago, this time while His Majesty and the queen mother set up a banquet, this palace will apologize to Tianshao on behalf of Tianlin, and please forgive me for it!"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Tian's heart sank suddenly, but his face remained unchanged and smiled, "Concubine Liniang said that it was funny, this is the first time that I have met His Royal Highness, how can there be any unpleasantness?
