Everyone in the Tianshui Sect had reached a consensus and planned to wait for Lin Bai to exchange treasures with the alchemist and weapon refiner of Tianji Pavilion before leaving the imperial capital.
Although Bai Yifei had ten million reluctances in his heart, the third elder and Zheng Yuan had a tough attitude. Bai Yifei was furious and immediately left with Zhou Xinjun and others.
Bai Yifei broke away from the team and left the imperial capital early. Although the third elder and Zheng Yuan intended to stop him, they could not stop Bai Yifei from deciding to leave, so they simply let him leave.
With the strength of Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun, the Five Immortals of Dongdao and others, there is not much danger in returning to Tianshui Sect from the Imperial Capital.
After Bai Yifei and others left, the whole house became much quieter.
Lin Bai, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao, Yi Gu and others drank and had fun all day long, waiting for the news from Tianji Pavilion.
This day.
An eunuch from the inner palace came to the Tianshui Sect residence.
"May I ask my father-in-law what's important?"
The third elder was stunned for a moment. The eunuchs in the inner palace all passed orders from Emperor Chu. When he came to the Tianshui Sect's house, he must not be here for fun.
Lin Bai, Yi Gu, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and other Tianshui Sect disciples were also standing in the main hall.
Everyone was wondering, could it be that His Majesty the Emperor of Chu wanted to announce Lin Bai to the palace?
But the next paragraph surprised everyone.
The father-in-law chuckled and said: "Your Majesty has a decree to invite Mr. Yi Gu to enter the palace."
"Yi Gu?" Zheng Yuan frowned and murmured in surprise.
The third elder asked doubtfully: "Didn't your father-in-law make a mistake? It is Yi Gu that His Majesty the Emperor of Chu wants to see, not Lin Bai?"
The young eunuch said with a smile: "Your Majesty's golden words, our family has heard them very clearly. How dare we pretend to preach the holy will?"
The third elder, Zheng Yuan and others all looked at the unattractive young man among the many disciples with confusion.
When Yi Gu heard this, he also had a helpless smile on his face.
The third elder asked in a low voice: "Yi Gu, what's going on?"
Yi Song said with a sad face: "I don't know. Is it because I have grown too handsome? Your Majesty wants to reward me with a princess?"
The third elder shook his head speechlessly. It had been so long and this guy was still making jokes.
Yi Song said: "Elder, since Emperor Chu wants to see me, I dare not not go."
"I'll go into the palace and have a look."
Lin Bai was a little worried and said, "Do you want me to go with you? Or, should I invite His Highness Prince Chen to come to the palace with him?"
"I will personally ask His Highness Prince Chen to come into the palace to protect you. He probably won't refuse."
Yi Song hurriedly smiled and said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Yi Song smiled freely, walked to the little eunuch, bowed his hands and said, "Please, father-in-law, please lead the way."
The little eunuch smiled slightly, turned around and left with Yi Song.
Looking at Yi Song's departure, the third elder and Zheng Yuan were full of doubts.
Entering the palace to meet Emperor Chu is not a favor that ordinary warriors can receive.
For example, warriors in the Taiyi Daoguo realm such as the Third Elder and Zheng Yuan were not summoned by Emperor Chu after arriving in the imperial capital.
But it happened that Yi Gu, a warrior who had just entered the Taoist realm, was admitted to the palace by Emperor Chu.
Zheng Yuan looked at Lin Bai doubtfully and said: "Lin Bai, you and Yi Gu came to Tianshui Sect together. You should know him better."
"How is this going?"
"Why did Emperor Chu want to see him alone?"
Lin Bai lowered his head and thought for a moment. He had already guessed that Yi Gu's origin might not be that simple.
But Yi Gu himself didn't want to reveal it, and he couldn't say much, so he joked and said: "Probably because he is handsome, His Majesty the Emperor of Chu is really interested in recruiting a son-in-law."
Naturally, the third elder could tell that Lin Bai was covering for Yi Gu, so he cooperated and said, "If that's true, that would be great. Being the son-in-law of the Chu State is also a good thing for Yi Gu, and for the Tianshui Sect
From a personal perspective, it’s a good thing.”
"There are not many princesses in Chu State, most of them have been betrothed to their families."
"Nowadays, in the Chu Kingdom, there are not many princesses of the right age who have not yet left the palace."
"By the way, some time ago, Li Guxian entered the royal family's genealogy, inherited her mother's title of Princess Leping, and became the Princess of Leping. She should be regarded as a princess!"
"Nowadays, she is the only princess of the right age in the Chu Kingdom."
Lin Bai smiled and said nothing more.
He naturally knew that Yi Gu's entry into the palace was definitely not because Emperor Chu wanted to recruit a son-in-law.
But there are other reasons!
…
The young eunuch took Yi Gu into the heavily guarded palace, went straight into the inner palace, and brought Yi Gu into an extremely luxurious palace.
"Your Majesty, Yi Gu will bring you here."
The little eunuch prostrated on the ground and humbly reported.
"Stand back and let Yi Gu come in."
Emperor Chu said slowly behind the screen.
The young eunuch left the palace, and Yi Gu walked in. He looked at the surrounding furnishings and said with a smile, "Yi Gu pays homage to Emperor Chu."
The palace here seems to be the study room of Emperor Chu.
A screen separates the room.
Emperor Chu stood behind the screen, holding a book, looking at it carefully, and said leisurely: "I still remember the last time I saw you, you were still held in your mother's arms. Unexpectedly, a hundred years have passed, and the person who was taken care of by this emperor back then
The boy who was held in his arms and even peed on me is now running around."
Yi Gu frowned. He couldn't even remember such a thing?
"Your Majesty, do you blame me? You have already said that when I was a child, I could control my lower body and pee whenever I wanted." Yi Gu said with a sad smile.
Emperor Chu walked out from behind the screen with a scroll in his hand, smiled and hit Yi Gu on the forehead, saying, "No matter how stupid I am, I won't get angry with a three-year-old."
Yi Gu smiled sarcastically: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was Yi Gu who was talking nonsense."
Emperor Chu shook his head and said, "How are your parents?"
Yi Gu smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's not bad."
Emperor Chu glanced at Yi Gu meaningfully and said, "Are you trying to fool me?"
Yi Gu's face suddenly fell, and he sighed: "The spies of the Chu State Zhao Criminal Division are all over the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm. Even if I want to hide it from Your Majesty, I can't."
Emperor Chu said: "You are the only one in your family, but they are counting on you to take over."
Yi Gu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I still have so many sisters. Even if I can't take the lead, we can still find a son-in-law."
"It's enough to recruit a strong man as your wife."
Emperor Chu curled his lips and said: "Although recruiting a son-in-law into a wife is a way, after all, he is not from my clan, so his intention must be different."
Yi Gu said with a smile: "Then it depends on the character of this son-in-law. The husbands my sisters are looking for will naturally pass my level. The people I choose are never too bad.
.”
Emperor Chu was stunned for a moment and said meaningfully: "So, you have already chosen a husband for your sisters?"
Yi Gu smiled and didn't say much.
Emperor Chu thought for a moment and said, "Lin Bai, don't think about it anymore. He has to stay in Chu."
"Your Majesty, you can't play like this, can you?"
Yi Gu frowned and said with a sad face: "Even if Lin Bai stays in the Chu Kingdom, he is still a disciple of the Tianshui Sect and does not belong to the Chu Kingdom."
Emperor Chu chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily the case."
