pWith a long shout, a woman and eight girls stepped down from Fengchu, and slowly stepped forward to help./p
p As the woman stepped off the cart, all the men and women present knelt down and sang respectfully:/p
p"See the Queen Mother"/p
pHowever, Long Chen is not included among those who kneel down. According to the rules of the empire, warriors above the blood coagulation realm do not need to kneel down to the prince./p
pBut when you see the Queen Mother, no matter how high your cultivation level is, as long as you are still a subject of the empire, you must kneel down and worship./p
pBut Long Chen has the identity of an alchemy disciple. He can worship him or not. Of course, Long Chen has chosen not to worship him. What’s more, among a large number of people, Long Chen is sitting down and cannot be discovered./p
p "Mengli"/p
p Sure enough, the Queen Mother just glanced at everyone and raised her hand lightly./p
pEveryone slowly stood up, and Long Chen looked at this woman who had gathered all the strength of the empire./p
p looks to be thirty-seven or eighteen years old, but it is said that the Queen Mother is already in her fifties. Long Chen knows that she is not the emperor's biological mother, but the crown prince's mother./p
pOriginally, the prince's mother should be called the queen, but the emperor has been in seclusion for many years, and the prince is already 30 years old./p
pDelaying it like this is not an option. After discussion among the ministers, it was finally decided that the Crown Prince will ascend the throne next year, so this year, the Queen’s name can only be called the Queen Mother, otherwise the hierarchy will be messed up./p
pWith the support of everyone, the Queen Mother slowly sat on the chair in the center of the banquet. The Queen Mother had just sat down./p
pThe seven princes came out one after another and sat next to the Queen Mother. Long Chen saw the seven princes gathered together for the first time./p
p looked at each one one by one. He had met the prince before. He only knew the seventh prince among the other princes. At this time, the seventh prince was much more honest and did not dare to look around./p
pLong Chen finally found the person he was looking for - the fourth prince. It must be said that the fourth prince was a talented person, always had a humble smile on his face, and was very approachable./p
p After looking around for a while, Long Chen found that many girls had their eyes glowing with stars, and they were obviously fascinated by this handsome prince./p
pAs for the other princes, Long Chen couldn't help but shake his head. Although they all looked quite stable, the arrogance in their eyes could not be concealed at all./p
pLong Chen couldn't help but think of Chu Yao. Among these princes, who was not wearing a mask? Or should we say that everyone was wearing a mask, or how many layers of masks were they wearing?/p
p A trace of ridicule appeared on the corner of Long Chen's mouth, this is the palace. The greater the power, the more corrupt it is. It is better to fight in the rivers and lakes, with swords and swords coming, which is more enjoyable./p
pThe kind of fight that kills without blood and plays tricks behind the scenes, Long Chen sneered at him. If he had that kind of intention, why not think about how to improve his strength./p
p"Master Yunqi has arrived"/p
pWhat surprised Long Chen was that the old figure of Master Yunqi actually appeared at the table. The appearance of Master Yunqi suddenly caused a commotion./p
pEveryone was shocked. The Phoenix Lantern Festival has been held for so many years. It seems that this is the first time that a figure like Master Yunqi has appeared./p
pLong Chen was also stunned. As soon as Master Yunqi came up, the Queen Mother quickly stood up from her seat and saluted Yunqi:/p
p"Meet the Master"/p
p "The Queen Mother has embarrassed me," Master Yunqi bowed slightly and said./p
pAfter the two people met, Master Yunqi sat in his seat. The seat was next to the Queen Mother, but the height was the same, which showed Master Yunqi's transcendent identity./p
pAfter Master Yunqi sat down, he glanced at the crowd, and suddenly saw Long Chen hiding in the corner, and nodded slightly./p
pMaster Yunqi's action suddenly attracted everyone's attention. They followed Master Yunqi's gaze and immediately found Long Chen's figure./p
p "It seems that the rumors are true. Long Chen has obtained Master Yunqi Qingyi and may have been accepted as a disciple"/p
pSome people can’t help but sigh. A while ago, Long Chen was a trash that was bullied by others, but now he has been appreciated by Master Yunqi. He has suddenly transformed into a respected alchemy disciple, which makes people boo./p
pWhen Long Chen saw Master Yunqi, he nodded to himself and couldn't help but scream inwardly. As expected, everyone looked at him and he suddenly became the focus of the audience./p
pLong Chen groaned secretly in his heart. He didn't want to be the center of attention, but now that it was like this, it was useless to keep a low profile./p
pSeeing Long Chen stand up and salute Master Yunqi from afar, the Queen Mother glanced at Long Chen and said with a smile: "It seems that the master's heart, which has been sealed for many years, has finally moved. Are you planning to pass on the mantle?"/p
pHearing the Queen Mother's question, everyone couldn't help but fell silent for an instant. It was said that Master Yunqi was very arrogant and had never accepted a disciple in his life. He was also very curious about how Master Yunqi would answer./p
p "This child is very promising, I really hope he can become my disciple" Master Yunqi responded calmly./p
pAlthough Master Yunqi did not answer directly, everyone could not help but be surprised. Almost everyone knew about Master Yunqi's arrogance. It is said that he never praised others./p
pMaster Yunqi is so optimistic about Long Chen. What is it about Long Chen that makes him value so much? Countless question marks appeared in people's minds for a while./p
p "Long Chen must be very talented in alchemy, otherwise from your perspective, master, it would be difficult for an ordinary alchemy disciple to fall into your eyes," the fourth prince praised./p
p Yunqi glanced at the fourth prince and said with a smile: "Alchemy talent is only part of it. What matters in the end is perseverance and perseverance. The perseverance of the fourth prince is also admirable."/p
pThe fourth prince smiled slightly: "Master is so complimentary"/p
p After saying this, the fourth prince stopped talking, but Long Chen sharply reappeared, and the fourth prince's expression was slightly abnormal./p
p "Is there something in Master Yunqi's words?" Long Chen couldn't help but feel something in his heart./p
p "Master Wei Cang, Prince Changfeng, and Princess Baichi have arrived"/p
pAs the voice fell, Xia Changfeng and Xia Baichi embraced a lean man who looked to be in his forties, with a goatee and wearing an alchemist's robe./p
p There is a delicate alchemy cauldron drawn on the chest of the robe. There are three lines tattooed on the alchemy cauldron, indicating that he is also an alchemist./p
pLong Chen also has such a robe, but the material is obviously much different, and the pattern on Long Chen's alchemy cauldron has only one pattern./p
p One line is an alchemy disciple, two lines are an alchemist, and three lines are an alchemy master. Long Chen couldn't help but shrink his eyes. Who is this person? Why does he appear here?/p
p "Yun Qi, I haven't seen you for many years. You seem to have aged a lot." Wei Cang looked at Yun Qi and said lightly./p
p As soon as Wei Cang's words came out, the whole place fell silent. Master Yunqi has a respected position in the Fengming Empire. No one has ever dared to speak to him like this./p
p "Wei Cang, if you don't stay well in Daxia, is it because you are reflecting on your past and want to walk more before you die?" Master Yunqi said calmly./p
p "Even if it comes back to the light of day, it's still better than the death of my wife. At least I have had a group of wives and concubines over the years and have lived a very nourishing life."/p
pWei Cang laughed, not knowing whether it was intentional or not, Xia Baichi took Wei Cang's arm and pressed it very close to his chest. Well, to be more specific, it was stuck in the ditch./p
pLong Chen's face turned slightly cold. The clothes Xia Baichi was wearing today were exactly the same as the woman in the painting that Yun Qi showed him./p
pIf Long Chen guessed correctly, the zombie man with the goatee is probably Yunqi's enemy, and what's more, the death of Mrs. Yunqi is related to him./p
pToday he was clearly here for Master Yunqi, using Xia Baichi to stimulate Master Yunqi. Thinking of this, Long Chen felt an inexplicable anger rising in his heart./p
pAlthough he has not had much contact with Master Yunqi, Yunqi is calm and indifferent, upright and a respectable elder. Now that he is being designed like this, he said coldly without even thinking:/p
p "He's just an old pervert, he doesn't have any meat in his body, be careful when something happens and he dies on a woman's belly"/p
pThe whole place was completely silent. Long Chen's voice was heard very clearly in every corner. Everyone looked at Long Chen in horror./p
p "Bold untouchable, dare to be rude to the master" Xia Baichi saw Long Chen, his eyes seemed to be spitting out fire./p
p "Pull it, that wet man is about to fall into your ditch and drown. Can I be rude to an old pervert?" Long Chen said disdainfully./p
pWhen everyone heard that Long Chenruo had pointed something out, they quickly looked towards Xia Baichi, and sure enough, that wet arm had fallen on her chest./p
pXia Baichi quickly let go of Wei Cang's arm, looked at Long Chen, pointed at Long Chen and was speechless for a long time./p
p "Are you, the heir apparent of the Fengming Empire, so uneducated?" Wei Cang glanced at Long Chen and snorted coldly./p
p Just when the Queen Mother was about to speak, Yun Qi said calmly: "Long Chen is the alchemy disciple of my Alchemist Guild"/p
p "Old pervert, did you hear that I am a member of the guild, and you are the onion?" Long Chen said disdainfully./p
p "Bold, Master Wei Cang is the president of our Great Xia Alchemist Guild," Xia Baichi said angrily./p
p "It turns out it's not made in China. Let me just say, the land in our Fengming Empire is fertile and we can't raise such a slutty pervert." Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief./p
p Long Chen’s words hurt everyone. Everyone laughed but didn’t dare to laugh, but they couldn’t hold it back. The smart ones just lowered their heads./p
pSome people who didn't react quickly made a "pop" sound and hurriedly covered their mouths with their hands, but that look was more embarrassing than laughing out loud./p
pThe whole scene was extremely embarrassing for a while. The most painful thing was not the people below, but the princes. They neither dared to laugh nor had any place to hide, and their faces were deformed from holding back./p
p "Ahem, today is a festive day, Master Wei Cang, please take a seat, the show will start soon"/p
pThe Queen Mother is also in a bit of a dilemma. Both sides are powerful people who cannot be offended, so she can only smooth things over./p
p "If this is the case, it will be annoying"/p
pWei Cang said politely, snorted coldly at Yun Qi, walked slowly to his seat, sat on his seat, and glanced coldly at Long Chen in the field./p
pLong Chen saw this old pervert glaring at him. Did he want to give himself a blow? He hurriedly stretched out a fist, with the center of the fist upward and a middle finger raised high./p
pWhen Long Chen made this move, everyone present, regardless of gender, tightly covered their mouths with shock on their faces./p
pWei Cang's face immediately turned livid, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. Seeing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly shouted:/p
p"The lantern festival begins"/p
pAs soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, a melodious music sounded, and countless people began to light up lights, illuminating the entire square as if it were daytime./p
pSuddenly, a string of huge lanterns appeared on the stage./p
