Chapter 5 - King level experts
The current Patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Xiaofeng, was a warrior of the nine stars of the Dou Huang class, only one step away from being a super strong warrior in the Dou Zong level. Not only did he hold the position of Minister of the Military Affairs, he also had a high position among the nine heads of the "Three Provinces Six Divisions" in the cabinet of the imperial court. The Duke's Mansion of the Liu Family was located to the east of the capital and took up a hundred acres of land. There were more than three thousand private soldiers in the mansion, not to mention the gatekeepers.
The eldest son, Liu Changfeng, was twenty-eight years old this year. He was talented, upright, and claimed to have entered one of the four most famous institutions in the continent, the "Wild Dragon Academy". He was now a nine star Dou Ling; the second son, Liu Changqing, who was twenty years old this year, was also a student of the "Wild Dragon Academy"; the third son, Liu Changjiang, was said to be a nine star expert in cultivation and was one of the "Ten Young Masters" of the capital. Liu Feng, the fourth lady of the Liu Family, was fourteen years old this year. She was rumored to have a photographic memory and had read a lot of books since she was young. She had become one of the Nine Masters of the Capital, Baili ZhangFeng, and was proficient in all kinds of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. However, since she was young, she had been engaged to someone. Moreover, it was decided by the current Emperor and the previous patriarch of the Liu Family. Therefore, no one dared to have any thoughts about her.
The third son of the Liu Family, Liu Changjiang, was sixteen years old this year and was already at the level of a nine star Dou Shi warrior. As of today, the "Wild Dragon Academy" had already been tested for this year and had been appointed for the "Wild Dragon Academy" examination, so the Liu Family was decorated today. Everyone in the family, both inside and outside, was filled with joy.
Before the sky brightened, Long Xuan brought Long Yi and Elder Fu to the Liu Manor. The Liu Manor was already filled to the brim with people, and Long Xuan's royal brothers and sisters had all arrived, including the current crown prince himself. All of the great families in the capital were present, and even the emperor of the imperial city had sent people to congratulate them.
After Long Xuan and the group of royal brothers summoned him, they went to pay respects to their future father-in-law, who was still considered friendly towards him, but other people would not treat him as hot or cold, after all, he could not cultivate, and could only treat him as an idle prince. Long Xuan did not mind, after all, being alone in a corner with Long Yi while holding onto a cup of tea sent up by a servant, Long Xuan drank and looked around the situation.
The current Prince Long Zhan was Long Xuan's biological brother and also the current Queen's biological father. This year, at twenty-nine years of age, not only was he capable of writing, he was also capable of fighting, and did not fall into the throne for more than ten years. Not only did he marry the head of the ten great families, Zhang Family, as the Crown Prince's consort, but he also received the support of many powerful warriors.
When the time came, it was time for all the princes to have a grand competition. There were no rules, aside from the fact that such a strong expert like Dou Zong could not take action, any expert could choose to belong to one side, and the victor would be the king, while the loser would be the thief, and the loser would live the wrong life, and the loser would die, and this was the only rule for the Long family to have been inheriting the throne for the past ten thousand years. The only thing the emperor could do was for some of the weaker princes to withdraw from the ranks early. Every prince that came to fight for the throne would at least have the support of a top-level aristocratic clan. Otherwise, he wouldn't be worthy of participating.
The entire Liu Family was in celebration, and all the guests were led to the table by their servants. The current patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Xiaofeng, came out with his three sons to toast them, and Long Xuan and a few other princes, who were all idle, sat at the same table. Due to them having the same status and having no interests, they were usually able to chat well, and as they were sitting together, they did not feel uncomfortable, so Twelfth Prince Long Wen Zong pulled Long Xuan along and said, "Nineteenth Imperial Brother, when are you married Fourth Miss Liu?"
Long Xuan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this. Even though this marriage had been decided thirteen years ago, the emperor had never issued a decree on the current situation. Long Xuan immediately said with a bitter smile: "Twelfth royal brother, this little brother is still young and isn't in a rush.
Long Wenzong nodded his head, "That's right. Although we are idle princes, we cannot decide on marriage matters. Nineteenth Prince has just turned sixteen this year, so he's not in a hurry. Come, drink."
The main reason why Long Xuan took the initiative to show goodwill to the Long Wen Sect was because this brother was wearing a third grade treasure. The biological mother of the Long Wen Sect was a imperial concubine, whose status was only a level lower than the empress's, and he was nine years older than Long Xuan, not only did he marry the daughter of a first class noble family to become a royal concubine, but he also had talent in business. Not only did he open a normal business in a restaurant, but he also owned a few casinos.
Many of the princes' guards followed him as well, and many of the princes' guards were all Intermediate Ranked Warriors. Long Xuan did not dare to let Dragon One and the others snatch it from them, and instead told Dragon One to use the chance to 'steal' them away quietly. As he drank, he was thinking of ways to get the treasures of the Dragon clan. After two hours of drinking, he bid his farewells to the envoy and the Crown Prince of the imperial city, and the rest of the people bid their farewells as they watched Long Xuan leave with a helpless expression on his face.
Long Xuan brought a few guards back to the Duke Palace and found out that the Empress of the Royal City had sent someone to pay a visit to him. The person who had arrived was waiting for him in the study, and brought Dragon One to the study, where he saw a eunuch sitting on an armchair drinking tea and resting. Hearing the sound of Long Xuan entering the room, he immediately opened his eyes, and looked over with a pair of cold eyes, causing Long Xuan's entire body to tremble.
"Expert, this person is definitely a top-notch expert," Long Xuan could not help but let out a groan in his heart. This person's cultivation must be at least one rank higher than Long Tian.
When the eunuch saw Long Xuan walking in, he immediately stood up.
"This old servant Ah Fu greets Prince Nineteen. This old servant pays his respects to the Empress and asks that Prince Nineteen accept your Holiness."
Long Xuan's entire body was drenched in cold sweat, the pressure that the eunuch gave him was too much, and Long Yi was not feeling well, his entire body was drenched in sweat, when the two heard the eunuch's words, they immediately knelt down, and the eunuch saw Long Xuan kneeling down, and shouted:
"Empress's speech: Prince Nineteen Long Xuan has already reached adulthood, so from today onwards, he will return to his own territory to take up the post. At the same time, he will bestow a fifth rank treasure, which will cost 500 thousand purple coins."
Long Xuan was startled when he heard it, "Are you trying to drive me out of the capital?" He did not dare to think any further and shouted loudly:
"Your son shall obey."
He then followed the etiquette and bowed. After the eunuch announced the empress's intentions, he ordered the people outside to place down the gifts and then brought the palace guards to leave the King Xuan's Mansion.
Long Xuan sat in the study room and thought for a long time. He knew that the reason why the emperor and queen wanted him to leave the capital was to get him out of the environment where the competition between the imperial families was going to take place, to get him out of trouble, so that the princes who were unable to compete for the throne in the Long's could leave the capital. The emperor had even sent out the imperial city, and only after a new emperor ascended the throne would he be able to return to the capital.
Long Xuan was not a sloppy person either. Since he had already decided, Long Xuan had to pay the price for his actions and immediately invite the butler to discuss with him. In the entire King Xuan's Mansion, other than Dragon One and Elder Fu, the rest were to stay in the capital. After discussing the details, everyone made their own preparations and planned to set off in three days.
Long Xuan returned to the study room and placed the Rank 5 treasure bestowed by the Queen on the desk. He thought about "absorb" in his mind, but when he saw that a white light sprang out from Long Xuan's body and enveloped the treasure on the table, in the blink of an eye the white light returned to Long Xuan's body and disappeared. The beautiful female voice sounded out again.
"Absorbing a treasure of the fifth rank will increase the number of Martial Spirit Value by 10W. Host can summon the appropriate fighter and the system will automatically level up after an hour. This upgrade will take about a month, so host please make the necessary preparations." With a burst of melodious music from the system,
"Congratulations, the host has summoned a Arena Ranker. Please name him."
As the music played, a white light flashed before his eyes and a figure appeared in front of him. This person was dressed in a black warrior's robe, was around fifty years old, and was about 1.8 years old. Looking at the man in front of him, Long Xuan smiled. Another Arena Ranker had appeared, and the Cursor Diagram in his mind had the words "Dragon Wind", the system prompt sounded out once again.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully being named, and successfully activated the Arena Ranker Long Feng, and the Martial Spirit Value 600." After the system's notification sound, Long Feng suddenly moved. His face had an additional flush of red, and his eyes released a cold light, his body moving. He looked at Long Xuan in front of him, and slowly knelt down, and said:
"Servant Feng greets the master."
Long Xuan was overjoyed, he had finally gained an additional middle Ranker's subordinate. Long Xuan's mouth was wide open in laughter, the appearance of a few big guards allowed Long Xuan to feel that he had the ability to protect himself in this cool world.
