Spirit Emperor - C70

At three in the afternoon, the ceremony that the palace came to receive him shocked Lee Xun. It was truly a bit exaggerated, even more grand than the ceremony he had seen yesterday.

When they reached the main entrance of the palace, Lee Zhi and Lee Ting led a group of nobles and ministers to bring Lee Xun to the palace.

“Father, isn’t this a bit too grand?” Lee Xun felt a little ashamed.

“Xun, you must know, your royal father was careless. He had let you stay outside for twenty-two years, it is only right for you to act magnanimously.”

The banquet started. Lee Xun realised that there were some western style banquets on Earth that all gathered together to form a good relationship. Naturally, there were some people who took this opportunity to introduce themselves. Just as Lee Xun and Hu Jing were chatting, an elderly man who possessed a iron blooded killing intent walked over with Shang Rongrong. Lee Xun knew that this old man was most likely Shang Loong the Old General, and actually was an expert in Eleventh Rank. Lee Xun found an excuse to avoid the truth, but when Hu Jing saw the two of them coming over, his smile blossomed.

“Your Majesty the Queen, Your Highness the First Prince, this subject has brought my granddaughter Rongrong to congratulate my Pineflower royal family’s reunion.”

“Old General Shang, thank you.” Xun, this is the Shang Loong Elder General Shang. ”

“Greetings, Old General Shang.” Lee Xun replied with a bow.

“Old General, we haven’t seen each other in a long time. How about we go to the side and have a chat?” Hu Jing’s suggestion naturally coincided with Shang Loong’s intentions, and right now, he was quite shocked in her heart. With his current strength, he actually couldn’t see through Lee Xun’s strength.

After the two of them left, Lee Xun’s expression became more and more awkward, because Shang Rongrong had been sizing him up as if he was looking at a monster.

“Miss Shang, is there something wrong with me?”

“There are a lot of things wrong. Did you know about our relationship since we met yesterday? ” Shang Rongrong sighed as she stared at Li Xu with her bright eyes.

“Don’t wrongly accuse a good person, of course I don’t know. It was only after that that I met my mother that I learned of my birth. ” Lee Xun wouldn’t admit it even if he was beaten to death, and he couldn’t be completely sure of it at the time.

“For now, I believe you. What’s with your strength? Why can’t I feel it? At first, I thought you were just an ordinary person. But later on I found out that you were the leader of the young elites of Tianshan Sword Sect. ”

Shang Rongrong’s words carried a tinge of hidden bitterness, causing him to feel a little uncomfortable.

“A few months ago, I accidentally ate a type of fruit from the Demonic Beast Mountain, and discovered that I could conceal my strength.” Even if someone tried to investigate, they would only be able to investigate until the moment he entered the Demonic Beast Mountain. After that, other than his master, mistress, and Qin Qing, no one else knew about the matter with Xiyin. If one wanted to understand Lee Xun’s strength now, one would at least need the strength of someone at the peak of the Human Rank. There should not be any powers that would let such a person gather information.

“There is such a fruit?” Shang Rongrong had stayed in the Dongting Sword Sect for more than ten years, so she naturally knew a lot.

“Don’t ask me, I only found out after eating.”

“Then what’s your current strength?”

“Miss Shang, can we change the topic?” Lee Xun naturally could not reveal his own strength; it was too frightening.

“If you don’t want to say it, then forget it.” Oh right, you should know about our marriage right? It won’t be that easy for you to marry me, right? ” Shang Rongrong’s mood had just improved a little, but now she was a little angry.

Lee Xun wanted to know how he was going to answer this question. He wanted to say it out loud, but his royal mother wouldn’t agree to it. Besides, there were so many people here today. If he really did this, it would offend the Shang family and they would soon be fighting. The Shang family was a very important force, not even in public or private.

“Junior Sister, why don’t you introduce her to me?” Zhou Mingshan had come to break Lee Xun’s encirclement.

Shang Rongrong’s beautiful face changed, and pulled Lee Xun’s hand: “Senior Brother, this is my future husband, Lee Xun. Lee Xun, you should know his identity, so I won’t introduce him. ”

“So it’s you. Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Lee Xun looked at Zhou Mingshan with disgust, while Zhou Mingshan looked at him with disdain.

“Lee Xun, let’s go take a walk in the imperial garden. It’s a little stuffy here.” Shang Rongrong pulled Lee Xun and left. Shang Rongrong was familiar with the place, it seemed like she had been here many times. Every time Shang Rongrong returned to the Shang Clan, he would come to the palace to pay respects. This was something that Shang Loong had specially instructed him to do.

When they arrived at the imperial flower garden, Zhou Mingshan followed along.

Shang Rongrong frowned and asked: “Why did you follow me?”

“Hehe, Junior Sister, since you feel bored, I will naturally accompany you.”

“Hurry up and leave. I have a secret conversation with my fiance. Outsiders cannot listen.”

“Junior Sister, you don’t have to intentionally anger me. You don’t even care about me. I don’t believe that you’ve become so intimate with him after meeting him just two times.” Lee Xun, you should know that even though you are a prince of Pineflower Country, your status is still far inferior to mine. Furthermore, you are just an ordinary person and my junior sister are from two different worlds. Do you think you are worthy to be my junior sister? ” Zhou Mingshan looked at Lee Xun sarcastically.

Lee Xun and Shang Rongrong both laughed. It seems that this Zhou Mingshan was too self-confident, and did not do a good job with the intelligence work. Shang Rongrong had received the news that Lee Xun had acquired the Tenth Rank during the Southern young warriors’ competition, and was not one whit inferior to the current Zhou Mingshan. In terms of talent, Lee Xun did not know how much stronger he was than him. If it wasn’t for his great grandfather’s relationship, how could this Zhou Mingshan have gathered so many resources at such a young age to have the strength of the Tenth Rank? However, he was stopped in his tracks, and if he wanted to go up there, he would need to use a lot of potential, which was one of the reasons why Shang Rongrong did not like him.

Senior brother, Lee Xun is not an ordinary person, he is a disciple of Tianshan Sword Sect, his strength is very strong, why don’t you guys compete with him?

Zhou Mingshan suddenly looked at Lee Xun, could it be that he was stronger than him, to a height that he could not see, but then he was relieved, if Lee Xun was really like that, then he is a demon, how is that possible? ” Junior Sister, you must be joking, he is clearly just an ordinary person. ”

“Don’t you know that if you eat something, you can conceal your strength? “It’s rare.” Shang Rongrong blushed a little after speaking, didn’t she just know about it herself?

“So that’s how it is. Lee Xun, why don’t we compete. The loser gives up on Rongrong.” In Zhou Mingshan’s opinion, Lee Xun was only that old. He already had the strength of Tenth Rank and was also equipped with many trump cards. Even if he were to face off against an expert of Eleventh Rank, he had a certain amount of confidence.

“Sorry, I don’t have a sword.”

“Huh?” Shang Rongrong and Zhou Mingshan were both stunned at the same time.

“You should know that I don’t have any Soul Sword, right?” Lee Xun asked Shang Rongrong. He didn’t want to compare himself to Zhou Mingshan, since that would lower his own cultivation, and he indeed didn’t have any Soul Sword. Lee Xun was not worried that his lie would be exposed. Only the old man and Qin Qing had ever seen his own situation of killing Soul Sword.

Shang Rongrong thought about it, it seemed that she had never heard of Lee Xun using Soul Sword before, but everyone was sure that Lee Xun did not want to use them, and no one would suspect that he did.

Zhou Mingshan laughed vulgarly and said: “Lee Xun, you don’t have a Soul Sword? “Haha, I’m dying of laughter. Junior Sister, is this the expert you were talking about?”

“Lee Xun, where is your huge sword?” Shang Rongrong was unwilling, she knew that Lee Xun’s huge sword was also a treasure sword.

“Giving it away.” I only have a very ordinary sword right now, and it’s not enough for me to slash twice. ” Lee Xun said very innocently. His huge sword was indeed given to Xiyin, but Xiyin woke up the huge sword and let it go.

“You aren’t lying to me, are you? You don’t have any Soul Sword to use, and you even gave your treasure sword to someone else?” The more Shang Rongrong thought about it, the more she couldn’t understand it. Those who had Soul Sword s, if they had a sword that surpassed their own, would also abandon the Soul Sword and not use it. Furthermore, anyone without a Soul Sword would view their own life as more important. Who would view a treasure sword as their own?

“She is a very important person. If she asks me, I cannot refuse.” What Lee Xun said was the truth, but he purposely said it in an ambiguous manner. Right now, he was trying to think of a way to make Shang Rongrong hate him.

Sure enough, Shang Rongrong’s face did not look good, so Lee Xun did not know what she was thinking.
