Qin Jun, who was walking at the back of the guard team, looked at the already outlined imperial palace in front of him and felt deeply moved. "I'm back again after a month, and it's so magnificent. You can rest assured now," he thought.
"Wow, is this the imperial palace? It's so majestic!" exclaimed Chang Qianqian, who was arm in arm with Daji, exciting the princes in front, who secretly looked down on her. If they knew Chang Qianqian's identity, they would definitely retract their disdainful emotions.
It's no exaggeration to say that Chang Qianqian's status is higher than theirs. The heads of the three major sects are on par with the emperor, and Chang Qianqian is equivalent to a prince. However, she has no siblings, while the royal family has a bunch of princes.
At this moment, Nan Yuxin approached with a look of doubt on her face, and Chang Qianqian instinctively felt repulsed by her, quickly standing in front of Qin Jun, asking with hands on her hips, "What are you doing, a girl getting so close to a man, is that appropriate?"
Pfft—
Qin Jun almost burst out laughing, and even Daji and Guan Yu's mouths twitched. How did this girl speak in the same tone as Qin Jun?
Nan Yuxin's face also looked unpleasant. How could she endure being spoken to like this in public?
"Who are you? What does it have to do with you if I talk to Qin Jun? Mind your own business," Nan Yuxin asked in a deep voice. If it weren't for escorting Emperor Qian and a group of high officials in front, she would have already lashed out.
"Who am I? What's it to you?" Chang Qianqian retorted rudely. Hearing this, Qin Jun couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
Damn!
This girl learns fast!
Qin Jun's laughter drew the attention of the princes and officials in front, who saw him standing next to two beautiful girls, their eyes showing envy and jealousy.
Seeing Qin Jun laughing so rudely, Nan Yuxin's eyes almost spewed fire. She turned slyly and grabbed Qin Jun's arm, saying, "I am his fiancée. What are you, a nobody, to mock me? I, as the original wife, have no right to ridicule you?"
This time, Chang Qianqian was stunned, feeling as if struck by lightning.
He already has a fiancée...
Chang Qianqian's eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up.
Qin Jun felt a headache coming on. He quickly pushed Nan Yuxin away and said to her solemnly, "I'm sorry, our engagement is already in name only. Yesterday, you beat me up, and today, I won't let you climb up. Please behave yourself!"
Satisfying!
He could deeply empathize with the memories of his predecessor. Saying these words, every pore in his body relaxed, feeling incredibly satisfying!
Nan Yuxin was dumbfounded. It was the first time she had heard such a strange statement, but its meaning made her feel embarrassed and angry.
"What a man!" praised Guan Yu, almost making Nan Yuxin spew blood. Even Daji's eyes sparkled with admiration. They both knew Nan Yuxin's identity, the daughter of the General of Zhen Guo. She was rejected by him.
The princes and officials who had been paying attention to Qin Jun and his group also looked at each other. It seemed that the Third Prince had truly changed. He would never have said such words before.
Chang Qianqian was suddenly delighted. However, at this moment, Qin Jun looked at her and said seriously, "We haven't confirmed our relationship yet, so don't get ahead of yourself."
He didn't have deep feelings for Chang Qianqian. He saved her and escorted her, which made her develop feelings for him, but he didn't reciprocate, at most, he felt some goodwill.
Life is long, and he didn't want to be tied down so early by women.
Most importantly, he would be the emperor in the future, how could he be restricted by women like you!
Haha!
Qin Jun laughed in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be a gentleman, making Chang Qianqian hesitate to speak.
"Alright! Let's enter the palace quickly," Qin Jun waved his hand and said.
Chang Qianqian and Nan Yuxin followed silently behind, not saying a word.
Daji couldn't help but sigh, "The young master is really tough."
"Tsk, relationships should develop naturally. Perhaps I will accept them in the future, but not now," Qin Jun shrugged. This body was only sixteen years old and still growing. He couldn't let himself be drained by beauty.
If Daji knew his thoughts, any goodwill she had would surely vanish.
Qin Yu, who had been walking at the front of the princes, gritted his teeth. He was at the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm, and naturally heard the words of Qin Jun and his group.
"I will definitely make you fall from grace again!" Qin Yu roared in his heart, but at this moment, he didn't dare to turn around. He seemed to have already foreseen Qin Jun looking at him with a mocking face, making him feel like he was being pricked by needles.
After entering the palace, Qin Jun's eyes were met with towering palaces, with red walls reaching ten meters high, and in the center of the palace, there was a small mountain with a huge palace on top, resplendent with gold and jade, and two dragon statues on the roof, exuding an imposing aura.
Suddenly, Shen Yan called out, "Those who are not part of the two countries' negotiations, follow me. I will take you to rest and wait."
Without the emperor's orders, no one could enter the palace without permission.
But now, during the negotiations between the two countries, allowing foreign envoys to feel the grandeur of the palace was also a means of intimidation.
"Prince Yue, His Majesty wants you to participate in the negotiations, and General Guan can accompany you," Shen Yan walked up to Qin Jun and smiled. Qin Jun was taken aback but quickly understood.
It seemed that the benevolent emperor intended to have Guan Yu support the scene.
Joking aside, with just one slash, Guan Yu had killed Xiao Beilong, and the people of Canglan Kingdom dared not say much.
"Okay," Qin Jun smiled and agreed, then said to Daji, "Take them over there, and we'll come find you later."
When it comes to Guan Yu, he naturally doesn't worry about his safety. As for Daji, despite her devastating beauty, she is not afraid of being targeted. It would be a breeze for a powerful expert in the Illusionary Realm to sweep through the Qianyue Kingdom.
Daji nodded slightly, then turned and followed Shen Yan with the Xiong Tian dog and Chang Qianqian.
Qin Jun led Guan Yu towards the Emperor of Qian, who had already descended from the dragon sedan. Beside the Emperor of Qian stood the Grand Preceptor Jia Xun, Qin Yu, and other second-rank officials. Zhu Yishi was accompanied by five officials and Zhen Hun.
From this, it can be seen that Zhen Hun has already pledged allegiance to the royal family of the Canglan Kingdom, while Song Lang is just acting as a thug.
"General Nan, go back and see the imperial physician first. Don't leave the root of the illness behind," the Emperor of Qian said with a concerned look, though his eyes were full of mockery.
As his condition deteriorated, he often looked back on the past and realized that he had made many mistakes, one of which was trusting General Nan too much and giving him too much power!
"Thank you, Your Majesty," General Nan forced a smile. Although the Qianyue Kingdom had won a great victory today, he had suffered a blow.
Despite winning the duel, he was no match for Guan Yu's stunning performance.
At this moment, he saw Qin Jun and Guan Yu approaching, and couldn't help but frown, his gaze fixed on Guan Yu, filled with fear.
As they drew closer, he realized how imposing Guan Yu's aura was, especially the faint killing intent that made him tremble with fear. He understood that he was no match for Guan Yu.
"Jun'er, you have made great contributions in this duel, so you will also have a say in the negotiations," the Emperor of Qian turned to Qin Jun and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's face turned as ugly as an eggplant.
