Chapter 20 - Returning to the Capital
Long Xuan had returned to the capital, and was even returning under the decree of the capital, so this caused all of the forces in the Hal City to reveal a trace of fanaticism, especially the four clans, they all already understood the true meaning of why Long Xuan's identity could bring them such benefits. It was not just the families of the four clans that understood this, but also the families of the Pan Family, which had to have passed down several hundred places. However, when Long Xuan returned to the capital, the atmosphere was much colder compared to the enthusiasm of the Hal City. Other than the old steward of the King Xuan's Mansion, who brought a few servants and guards to bring a horse over to welcome him, there was no one else who was waiting for him.
His return did not attract any attention from any of the forces in the capital. was simply too ordinary, although he was a prince, within the Empire, even if princes like him did not have ten thousand, he would still have at least eight thousand, and it was even the lowest existence amongst all of them, so even if the current emperor Long Zhan was his blood brother, he would not affect any of the powers in the capital in the slightest. After all, no power would pay attention to a cultivation waste. He was destined to be eliminated for being a trash that could not cultivate. This was the bloody "Rules of the Forest" that was enforced throughout the continent. The strong preyed on the weak; cultivation was the foundation of everything. Long Xuan led his group of people and entered King Xuan's Mansion in a low profile. Long Xuan returned to the capital in a low profile.
Long Zhan had unquestionably obtained the throne during the struggle for the throne. This was something that was discussed between heaven and earth, but the blood and battle between the few eldest princes had also injured the vitality of the ten great clans, the middle ranked forces of the 'Dragon Guards' that were recorded had all gone down by three of them, and the ten great clans would have to rest for many years before recovering. They would have to wait for the next round of battle for the throne. The top ten aristocratic families did not have any major changes, but some of the first-rate powers had already disappeared into the history of the capital. The top ten aristocratic families did not have any major changes, but some of the first-rate powers had already disappeared into the history of the capital. Today was not the day that this family was exterminated. Tomorrow was the day that the family head was sent to prison. The bloodthirsty suppression by the soldiers of the imperial guards was strictly executing one order after another by the new emperor.
Before Long Xuan returned to the capital, the old butler would have already sent a copy of the letter to Long Xuan regarding all the big and small matters that happened in the capital, thus, Long Xuan would always be supporting the capital with his fingers, but what did those things have to do with him, he himself could not change too many things in the world, since that was the rule of the world, he himself did not reach that kind of height, and did not have the authority to solve these problems, it did not matter if his blood flowed into rivers, nor did it matter if his body was like a mummy or a river.
After returning to the King Xuan's Mansion, Long Xuan thought about it seriously. When he went to the palace to see the old brother of the emperor, he felt that his mood was quite low, and after dozens of years, although Long Zhan had never been cold or warm to him, and had even scolded him occasionally, but Long Xuan knew that Long Zhan had always been concerned about him, if not, he would not have allowed his strongest person to summon him back to the palace. This time, when he came back, it seemed like he was still talking about rewards.
There wasn't a single palace maid or eunuch by his side, only the two of them. Outside of the hall, there were only a few golden-armoured guards waiting for them at a distance. It was clear that Long Zhan didn't want others to hear the conversation between his brothers.
The current Long Zhan had an extra sense of dignity compared to before, he looked more steady and serious, at the same time, an Emperor's Qi formed between his brows, causing people to feel intimidated without getting angry.
The two brothers sat opposite each other. There were only four dishes and one soup, plus a pot of wine and two cups on the table. This made Long Xuan a little surprised, but he still lowered his head and did not speak.
Long Zhan looked at Long Xuan, and gently nodded: "Not bad, it's been a while since we last met, and little brother has matured a lot. I only prepared a few common dishes today, and I didn't let the palace maids and eunuchs wait on me. At this moment, I am not the emperor, and you are not the prince, so we are only blood brothers, and can be considered as having a simple family feast.
Long Xuan held the wine cup in his hand and gave Long Zhan a faint smile. "I toast my elder brother and congratulates my big brother for fulfilling his dream."
Long Zhan laughed: "Okay, then us two brothers will drink together." After drinking a cup, Long Xuan raised his head and drained his cup as well.
Long Xuan took a bottle of wine and filled the cup in front of Long Zhan, and at the same time, filled it up for himself, and the two began to chat as they ate.
Long Xuan really liked this kind of atmosphere. He felt a little warmth in his heart, although he and Long Zhan had not interacted much in the past, he knew that Long Zhan had always been concerned about him.
The two of them had eaten for more than an hour, and it could be said that they had eaten their fill and drank their fill.
Long Xuan was startled, but he glanced at Long Zhan and said: "This time, when I went to the Hal City, I was able to comprehend Qi by chance, and during this period of time, I have worked hard to cultivate, and have now reached the level of a One Star Warrior. My biggest dream in life was to cultivate by myself, but I never thought that the heavens would let me comprehend this Qi at this age, so I wanted to go to the Wild Dragon Academy to learn for a while. I wonder if royal brother will allow it? "
Hearing that, Long Zhan's eyes lit up, and looking at Long Xuan, he shouted in a different tone: "Junior is going to Hal City this time, to think that I still have such a harvest, okay, okay, this is actually a good thing, originally, as a direct descendant of our Long's, you are going to study at the Long's ancestral land, but you have already passed the final period of your studies, and going to the Ancestral Land is impossible. So, you are going to go to the Wild Dragon Academy, that is a simple matter, I will settle this matter for you tomorrow, and you can go report it tomorrow."
After Long Xuan heard this, he immediately bowed to Long Zhan and said: "Thank you, big brother."
Long Zhan asked again: "This time, that guard of yours ended up saving brother's life together with an assassin. I am truly sorry, but do you have any other requirements? I'll do it for you. "
Long Xuan then told Long Zhan about the situation of the Hal City's few families. Upon hearing that, Long Zhan nodded and said, "This is a small matter, I'll help you settle it, what else do you have for me?"
Long Xuan thought for a long time before finally saying, "How about royal brother bestows me a few treasures?"
"Alright, the treasures in the palace are innumerable, so there's no harm in giving you a few." Long Zhan laughed.
Long Xuan thanked him immediately, and the two of them stopped talking about important things, Long Xuan knew that the rewards had ended, and that the two of them were getting drunk, so Long Xuan asked to leave. Long Zhan stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Remember, after you go to Wild Dragon Academy, be sure to cultivate well, King Xuan's Mansion you can rest assured, I will arrange everything properly for you daily, and other than that, your fiancee Liu Xuxu is also in Wild Dragon Academy, find some time yourself and I will settle the marriage for you."
Long Xuan nodded his head and replied, following that, Long Zhan went back to rest with the servants, while Long Xuan returned to the King Xuan's Mansion.
Long Zhan's profit was extremely high. He had completed the task he had agreed to last night very early in the morning. Mad Dragon Empire's admission slip had also been delivered to King Xuan's Mansion early in the morning, and he also had ten fifth rank treasures with him.
Of course, Long Xuan was overjoyed, and couldn't help but call out: "Big bro is truly worthy of being big bro, this work efficiency really isn't for real." He let the System 'absorb' all the treasures, and the sweet voice of a lady rang out once again.
The current balance is 134.3 W. The Host can summon the corresponding Warriors or exchange them for the corresponding items. I still have 865.7 W of Martial Spirit Value to upgrade to next time, so I ask Host to continue working hard. "
