44: Section 44

In addition,

there was also an old man by his side, who was even more imposing, radiating authority without anger.

But what was inconceivable was this:

This old man followed behind the young man, acting like a butler or attendant.

For such an old man to serve as a subordinate, one could imagine that the young man's identity was certainly extraordinary, so no one was so tactless as to disturb him.

"This is the capital of the Tai'an Dynasty, it's indeed incredibly prosperous!"

Walking on the main street, looking at the prosperous scenery around her, Zhao Chan was somewhat amazed.

Although her Aptitude was not bad and her mind was intelligent, she had lived in Tai'an Prefecture since childhood and had never left, so she had never seen such a sight before.

"The mortal world's hustle and bustle can indeed be astonishing at times, but it's enough to just look.

If you really want to talk about prosperity, it still has to be the Holy Land's scenery."

Elder Shaoguang, who was following behind him, said with a smile, "When we return to the Holy Land in the future, Young Master will take Miss Zhao to tour the many sights of the Taichu Holy Land, and then you will know what it means to be the number one in the Eastern Domain."

"Really?"

Zhao Chan looked at Chu Mo, her face filled with anticipation.

"Of course."

Chu Mo smiled gently.

"True Disciple Chu, Elder Cangming has invited you to Zhu Xuan Temple; he has already set up a banquet to welcome you."

Just as the three of them were chatting, a Martial Artist came before Chu Mo and said respectfully.

Zhu Xuan Temple

is the residence of the Disciples dispatched by the Taichu Holy Land to the Imperial City.

It is said that it was personally supervised and constructed by the founding ruler of the Tai'an Dynasty, and it is the most magnificent and tallest building in the entire Imperial Dynasty; standing in Zhu Xuan Temple, one can overlook the entire city.

As for Elder Cangming, he is the person in charge of the Holy Land's dispatch to the Imperial City.

As early as when Chu Mo said he was going to the Imperial City, Elder Shaoguang had already sent a message to him, asking him to prepare for his arrival.

That is why he was able to send someone to invite Chu Mo as soon as he entered the city.

"Since it's an invitation from the Elder, then let's go."

Chu Mo nodded slightly.

Then he followed this Disciple towards Zhu Xuan Temple.

...

At the same time,

within the Imperial Palace of Tai'an Imperial City.

An old man, dressed in light tremors and exuding an imposing demeanor, stepped before a palace.

He respectfully bowed, then said, "Seventh Princess, we just received news that True Disciple Chu of the Taichu Holy Land has arrived in the Imperial City!"

As his voice fell,

not long after, a young girl walked out of the palace.

She was dressed in a rainbow-colored feather robe, with a refined complexion, innate jade bones, and a beautiful and ethereal appearance, with not a single flaw on her delicate face.

She was like a Fairy descending to the mortal world.

This person was the Seventh Princess of the Tai'an Dynasty!

She was the most beloved daughter of the current Tai'an Emperor and even the entire Imperial Family!

The most brilliant pearl in the Imperial Dynasty!

Ling Baishuang!

In the entire Imperial Dynasty, her status was supreme, and she was deeply loved by many people in the court.

Whether it was her Imperial brothers or Imperial siblings, whether it was officials from the court or the common people.

One must know,

that among aristocratic families, there is always intense scheming and deception, and this is even more pronounced within the Imperial Family.

Yet, Ling Baishuang was able to gain everyone's affection, which was simply incredible!

The reason for this was

that this Seventh Princess of the Tai'an Imperial Family possessed unparalleled Aptitude since childhood!

She was the most talented junior in the entire Imperial Family, throughout history!

It is said that

on the day she was born, which was originally summer, in one night, the entire Tai'an Dynasty experienced a white frost from the heavens.

Heaven and earth cast auspicious light, cleansing her Physical Body Aptitude.

Moreover, a hundred birds chirped, and a Phoenix perched on the rooftop.

This kind of Heaven and Earth phenomenon greatly delighted the current Emperor, who immediately bestowed upon her the name Baishuang, making her the Seventh Princess of the Imperial Dynasty, with a supreme status in the court.

Besides that,

the Old Ancestor of the Ling Family, who had been in seclusion in the Imperial Family's mausoleum for an unknown number of years, was also startled and personally came out of seclusion to take her away, intending to personally cultivate her.

For a time, the entire Imperial Dynasty was shaken!

And she indeed lived up to expectations; before the age of twelve, she cleansed her marrow and bones daily with Heaven And Earth Treasure, and after she began cultivating at the age of twelve, she displayed extraordinary talent, entering the Profound Realm in less than three years.

It is said to be three years,

but in reality, over two years were delayed because she was searching for the True Phoenix blood to forge an unparalleled Dao foundation.

Otherwise, with her cultivation speed, she would probably have already entered a higher Realm by now.

At this moment,

she walked out of the palace and looked at the old man, asking somewhat curiously, "True Disciple Chu? Could it be the newly promoted True Disciple that the Taichu Holy Land announced to the world a few days ago?"

"Precisely."

The old man in green robes said respectfully.

"Since that's the case... then let's go meet him."

Ling Baishuang said softly.

Chapter 39: Zhang Fan Arrives at the Imperial City, His Smile Instantly Freezes

As the Seventh Princess of the Imperial Dynasty, she naturally had many people at her command.

Thus, as soon as she gave the order, someone quickly handled all the arrangements.

In less than half an hour,

a gilded invitation card was delivered to her.

"Princess, this is the invitation to the banquet hosted by Elder Cangming of Zhu Xuan Temple to welcome True Disciple Chu. Also, the gifts are ready, and this old servant will accompany you there at that time."

The old man in green robes said respectfully.

"I understand, thank you for your trouble, Qing Old."

"Serving the Princess is this old servant's duty."

The old man bowed.

Then, seeing that the Seventh Princess had no other instructions, he silently withdrew.

For a time, only Ling Baishuang remained in the hall.

"Chu Mo..."

She looked at the invitation card before her and couldn't help but murmur.

A moment later,

as if she had thought of something, her eyes suddenly flashed: "If this person is reliable, perhaps that place..."

...

At the same time,

in the Third Prince's residence, the current Seventh Prince Ling Xiao was enthusiastically entertaining a young Martial Artist.

"Mr. Zhang, this time I was able to obtain the Cangyuan Pearl, thanks to your help; otherwise, I might have missed out on this treasure!"

The Third Prince said with great gratitude.

"Your Highness is too polite; I merely offered some casual help. Even without me, Your Highness would have obtained this item."

The young Martial Artist said modestly, a smile playing on his lips.

This person was dressed in the Inner Sect Disciple robes of the Taixuan Holy Land; although his appearance was ordinary, his eyes were extremely resolute. Anyone who saw him would immediately recognize him as someone with a firm mind.
