In the center of Daxia City, in an area adjacent to the royal palace, there is a magnificent mansion and manor. The mansion is tightly guarded, with guards patrolling back and forth. Many sharp eyes are projected out of the darkness, forming a dragnet that surrounds the palace.
Covered and shrouded.
This is the Regent's Palace. In a certain sense, the power represented by this palace is even greater than that of the palace not far away at the moment.
Gong Shenjun got off the chariot outside the palace, and then went straight into the palace. Along the way, passers-by bent down to greet him.
"Your Highness."
"Welcome Your Highness."
Gong Shenjun was already accustomed to the greetings along the way. With a calm face, he walked through the criss-crossed corridors and courtyards of the palace, and finally came to a study room facing the lake. The study room was simple and not luxurious. The surroundings of the study room looked like
There was not even a single figure to protect him, but Palace God Jun knew that the strongest guard was here in the entire palace.
Here, ordinary powerful men may not be able to approach the study.
However, Gong Shenjun came to the study without any hindrance. Without waiting for him to knock on the door, the door opened automatically. When he walked in, he saw the regent at the desk, flipping through classics and making some notes.
The regent was dressed in casual clothes. He raised his head and glanced at Gong Shenjun, who saluted respectfully: "Father."
The regent smiled and waved his hand: "Don't bother with this at home."
"Your performance in this ticket competition was pretty good." He put down the book with a look of appreciation.
Gong Shenjun shook his head and said: "The opponents I have met are not strong. Compared with Liang Kui and Zhongnan, the gap is not small, and Zhongnan's defense is the strongest among his peers I have ever seen. Even if
Even the dynasties in our school cannot compare to him."
"If I meet Zhongnan, I may not be able to break his defense within the limited time."
The regent smiled and said: "After all, it is just a competition, not a life and death battle. If the situation were changed, the so-called strongest defense would be just a target and would not pose much of a threat."
He waved, let Gong Shenjun come to his side, and then dropped a piece of information in his hand on the table.
Gong Shenjun took a look and saw the three words Luo Lan Mansion that stood out.
"In this ticket competition, the surprising thing is not Jiang Qing'e, but Li Luo, who I didn't pay much attention to before."
The regent patted the information in front of him and said with a smile: "In the past two days, I have read the information of Luo Lan Mansion for the past six months. This Li Luo is not simple.
After Nanfeng City revealed his dual nature, it turned around little by little. Especially after he came to Daxia City, the situation in Luolan Mansion was almost completely stabilized. Nowadays, Xiyang House under its banner is developing vigorously.
The scale has begun to surpass that of Li Taixuan, and Tantai Lan is now here."
"And these are all done by Li Luo."
The regent smiled and said: "In the past
Everyone looked at the dazzling young phoenix in Luo Lan Mansion, but ignored the hidden dragon Li Luo. But it is right to think about it. People like Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan, if their sons really put him
Treating it as trash is the most stupid thing."
"But everyone thought so before." Gong Shenjun said seriously.
The regent was dumbfounded and then laughed. It was true, after all, an "empty phase" was enough to cut off all Li Luo's future.
As for Li Luo's sudden change of heart, no one expected it.
"What do you think of this Li Luo?" the regent asked.
Gong Shenjun pondered for a moment and said slowly: "He has great potential, and he is different from Jiang Qing'e and his parents. He likes to hide himself. If it hadn't been for those many coincidences that pushed him out, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see him by now.
It’s hard to believe he’s so good.”
"With him and Jiang Qing'e in Luo Lan Mansion, I feel it is only a matter of time before we return to our peak."
The regent nodded and said with some profound meaning: "But what Luo Lan Mansion lacks most is time."
He paused and said with a smile: "You seem to like Jiang Qing'e very much, right? My father also said that as long as you are really capable of bringing her back, I will allow your marriage."
Gong Shenjun sighed helplessly and said: "Since Li Luo appeared, my slim chance has become even more impossible. All of us have underestimated the bond and emotion between Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e. They
That engagement is not just a decoration."
"Moreover, I originally thought that Li Luo was just an ordinary person. The more contact I had with him, I would naturally make him feel ashamed of himself, and Jiang Qing'e should also be able to understand my excellence."
Others may be bragging when they say this, but Gong Shenjun says it with a natural feeling, because he is indeed excellent. Regardless of his status, cultivation talent, or city, he is far ahead of his peers.
He is the top person among the young generation in Daxia today.
"But it's a pity that Li Luo's performance in the past six months has made me feel a little embarrassed."
Gong Shenjun shrugged and said, "So maybe I have no chance."
The Prince Regent smiled and said, "Are you admitting defeat? This is not like your character."
"The facts have to be faced, and although I admitted failure, I gave up completely without saying anything." Gong Shenjun said.
The regent patted the Luo Lan Mansion's information gently with his palm and said with a smile: "Then do you need father's help? Jiang Qing'e does have extraordinary potential. If this young phoenix can land in our palace, father will also be very happy.
happy."
Gong Shenjun smiled when he heard this and said, "I still want to try first to see if I can really win her heart."
"Young people still like fantasy after all."
The regent was noncommittal, but he did not say much on this topic. Instead, he changed his tone and said, "Didn't you get the gold and jade Xuanxiang knife?"
Gong Shenjun nodded helplessly.
The regent seemed to have expected this, and sighed: "Although this sword is only Pang Qianyuan's sword in his early years, it has finally witnessed his road to becoming king. Its spiritual power is so strong that even you can't conquer it.
That’s alright, let’s continue to put it in the academy’s treasure house as a decoration.”
"But it was pulled out by Luo Li."
The regent raised his head, stared at the face of Palace God Jun Yingwu, and said slowly: "Did Li Luo pull it out?"
"Although it's a bit incredible, it's true."
The Prince Regent flicked his fingers rhythmically on the table. After a long while, he smiled and said, "This Li Luo is really interesting."
In the end, he didn't say much, just waved his hand, and Gong Shenjun exited the study.
The study fell into silence.
The regent closed his eyes slightly, and after a long while, he calmly said: "It seems that the sword is out of reach."
The study seemed to have become dark at this moment, and someone in the shadow opened his deep eyes. At the same time, an erratic voice sounded, seemingly far away and near: "It's just a small fortune teller realm."
It means something.
"Of course Li Luo is not worth mentioning."
The regent shook his head and said: "But the Holy Grail War is not far away. Li Luo is now a student that Shengxuanxing Academy pays close attention to. If something happens to him at this time, the academy will not sit idly by and do nothing. When the time comes, there will be a massive investigation.
It is inevitable that there will be twists and turns that will destroy our original plan."
The regent looked into the deep eyes in the darkness, and an oppressive voice sounded.
"In the past, you always said that our plans were perfect, so the lack of a saber wouldn't have much impact, right?"
The figure in the darkness seemed to flutter like a candle, and soon a hoarse laughter sounded: "Well, it's just a whim. I want to make more moves. Whether it is or is not, it really doesn't matter much."
"It's you..."
There seemed to be a smile coming from the people in the darkness.
"After all these years, haven't you made up your mind to join us?"
The regent's face was a little dim under the light. He picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, placed one cup next to him, and drank sips by himself. His eyes flickered, but he fell silent for a long time.
In the darkness, a hand stretched out and picked up the tea cup. On one finger of that hand, there was a dark red simple ring. On the ring, there was an eye engraved on it, but the shape of this eye was
The whites of the eyes are black, but the pupils are white. After looking at it for a long time, it seems that the strange eye is slowly closing, and finally the black and white become one, like the yin and the sun annihilating.
At the same time, there seemed to be an inexplicable low murmur sounded in the darkness.
"Light and darkness come from the same source, good and evil come together."
