Chapter 328 The Second Highness Welcomes You!

"His Royal Highness is here!"

A loud voice rang out along with the chime of the bell, and when everyone saw the figure walking out of the inner hall, the discussion stopped abruptly, replaced by a touch of enthusiasm.

Xuan Haoran, the current lord of the Xuanyue Empire, is very old. Over the years, the prince Xuan Jiuding has basically handled the affairs of the empire, and he has managed the empire in an orderly manner, almost as good as Naifu.

It's just that these people present are all prominent figures in the Xuanyue Empire. They are either the patriarchs of big families or the heads of major sects. They all have guesses about some rumors.

For example, people like Yushu, the suzerain of the Yuhu Sect, have greatly changed Xuan Jiuding's behavior because of the incident that happened in Yuhu Cave.

That day in Tianyue Pavilion, although Xuan Jiuding categorically denied the matter in the Yuhu Sect, but who was Yushu, a mere third prince of the empire, Xuan Zhi, how could it be possible for Xuan Tiejun to lead the Yuhu Sect for more than ten years? Behind this, there must be Xuan Jiuding's instigation.

However, compared to the Yuhu Sect, which has vital interests, the heads of other sects, even if they know that Xuan Jiuding is not as gentle as it seems on the surface, they still know that they want to govern a country. Compassion is absolutely impossible.

Even Xuan Haoran, known as a generation of Mingjun, dare not say that he has never done anything that harms others and benefits himself in his life, but those things are all covered up by the glamor on the surface.

As long as you still want to gain a foothold in the Xuanyue Empire, it is impossible to show any disrespect to the future lord. Even the lords of the three major sects would not dare to tear themselves apart with Xuan Jiuding.

Therefore, at this moment Yu Shu, even if he wants to question Xuan Jiuding again, he can only hold back first, not to mention that he does not have sufficient evidence, and Xuan Zhi and Yan Chun are not here, so it can be said that there is no proof.

"Haha, everyone is welcome to visit my Xuanyue royal family. Here, Jiuding sends greetings to everyone on behalf of my father!"

Xuan Jiuding's face was filled with high spirits, and his eyes swept across the many guests in Lanyue Hall, and finally stayed on Yun Xiao for a moment. Although it was just a glance, it made Li Yue of the Qingshan Sect extremely uncomfortable.

It's really Li Yue's opinion of Yun Xiao that he doesn't like it. You kid obviously only has a late-stage Chongmai cultivation, so why would you let His Royal Highness take a second look?

Naturally, Yun Xiao didn't care about these nonsensical thoughts. Compared with Li Yue, a guy who said so much, what he cared more about was Xuan Jiuding, the prince of the empire.

This person is really too difficult to deal with, not only because of Xuan Jiuding's powerful background, but also because of his own cultivation and intelligence. In Yun Xiao's view, he is really his number one enemy in Xuanyue Empire.

In front of the crowd, Xuan Jiuding couldn't possibly do anything to Yun Xiao, so after sweeping past Yun Xiao, he said loudly again: "Everyone, I'm a little sorry, Father has something to do at the moment, it may take a while to come, You guys have been waiting for a long time."

"Hehe, Your Majesty is busy, we are just here to ask for a cup of birthday wine, so what's the big deal if you wait a little longer?"

This time it was Li Feng, the Sect Master of Qingshan Sect. After hearing his words, Prince Xuan Jiuding turned his head, smiled and nodded towards this side, quite satisfied with the understanding of Sect Master Qingshan.

However, apart from the sect masters like Qingshan Sect who deliberately curry favor with the royal family, others like Yushu Jiayi couldn't help but frown.

Today is the birthday of the lord Xuan Haoran. This is not a political matter of the empire. There is no need to let Xuan Jiuding handle such matters. Could it be that something happened to the lord?

Thinking of this, Yushu and the others cast their gazes on the Crown Prince, but after looking at it, they only saw Xuan Jiuding talking and smiling, and constantly saying hello to the guests, without any sadness at all.

Under such circumstances, Yushu Jiayi and the others naturally couldn't say anything more, they could only wait patiently, who knew that after two hours, the figure of Xuanyue King still did not show up, which is a bit strange .

Just when everyone was waiting a little restlessly, a figure dressed as a guard suddenly walked in from the gate of Lanyue Palace, and he walked straight to Xuan Jiuding and saluted, and said softly, in the presence of the prince. After nodding, he turned around directly.

"Excuse me, which one is Master Yunxiao?"

The guard asked quite politely, but the meaning in the words made everyone a little puzzled. The Lanyue Hall, which was noisy just now, became quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes were aimed at him in unison. A boy in rough clothes.

Who is Yun Xiao, this is not too unfamiliar to everyone in the palace, but what they did not expect was that after waiting for two hours for Xuanyue King, this guard who suddenly appeared named him by name. It is a bit elusive to find the meaning of Yun Xiao.

"I'm Yunxiao, what's the matter?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were fixed on him, Yun Xiao was also full of doubts, so he took a step forward and spoke out, revealing his identity.

"Master Yunxiao, Second Highness invites you!"

The guard's face was still respectful, and he quickly walked up to Yun Xiao and saluted, and after the words he said made everyone heave a sigh of relief, they had another guess.

The "Second Highness" that the guard said must be the second prince of the royal family, Xuan Jing. Compared with the guesses of the people, Yun Xiao suddenly understood.

After all, in Maizang, Yun Xiao and Xuan Jing had some encounters, and it could even be said that they had a life-threatening friendship, and when he was in Luocheng, he even saved a life from Xuan Jing, what's more. Get it to escort back to Yuhuzong, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble.

So Yun Xiao didn't doubt what the guard said at all, presumably the Second Prince knew that he had come to the imperial family, so he sent someone to invite him, and wanted to catch up with him.

"Hehe, brother Yunxiao, since my second younger brother invited you, then you should go and meet him. I heard that you two have a good relationship!"

Just when everyone was wondering, Prince Xuan Jiuding spoke with a faint smile, but no one saw the flash of light in the depths of his eyes. I am afraid that this matter is not that simple.

"Teacher, I'm going!"

Yun Xiao originally had this intention, so he turned his head and bowed to Yushu, and after saying that, he followed the guard and left the bustling Lanyue Palace.

Yu Shu had also heard about the friendship between Yun Xiao and Xuan Jing, so he didn't say much. Yun Xiao could build a good relationship with the second prince of the empire, and it could ease the deadlock between the Yuhu Sect and the royal family.

Looking at the back of Yun Xiao disappearing at the gate of Lanyue Palace, the eyes of the imperial prince Xuan Jiuding couldn't help but become more intense, and at the same time, there was a sneer mixed in, but it was too obscure and no one saw it.

clang!

However, at this moment, a bell rang out again in Lanyue Hall, and when everyone turned their heads, an extremely majestic figure had already walked out of the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, here we are!"

A loud voice came out, and now everyone had no doubts, because the old but majestic figure in the golden robe was the number one person in the current Xuanyue Empire, the lord Xuan Haoran.

For some reason, when the lord Xuan Haoran appeared, all the unhappiness in everyone's hearts just now disappeared in an instant, and what was replaced was a touch of abnormal awe.

Xuan Haoran, who has been in charge of the Xuanyue Empire for nearly two hundred years, brought a sluggish empire back from its decadence and realized the rejuvenation of the empire.

Even if Xuan Haoran has not been in charge of things these years, but the tiger is so powerful, those amazing deeds in the heyday of those years, it is impossible for any cultivator of the Xuanyue Empire to forget, this is the deterrence of the Lord of Zhongxing.

Even Yushu, the patriarch of the Yuhu Sect, was unhappy because the treasure of the Zhenzong was taken away by the royal family, but when he saw the lord of the country, he could only put away his thoughts first. It would be disrespectful to say these things.

"I'm sorry, everyone has been waiting for a long time. There are some urgent matters that I need to deal with. I will punish myself with three cups later!"

The king, Xuan Haoran, said apologetic words, but at this time, he seemed to be a little less domineering than before, but a little more worried, as if there were some embarrassing things that had not been resolved.

Since His Majesty the Lord has said so, it is naturally impossible for many guests to hold on to it, but some strong men who are good at observing faces, such as Yushu Jiayi and others, guessed something from Xuan Haoran's expression. Clue.

As Xuan Haoran's deadline is approaching, a birthday will be held every year, and beyond the birthday that can be reached, His Majesty the King will never be late.

Today, Xuan Haoran was not only two hours late, but even had a look of worry on his face. What was it that made this His Majesty, the lord of the Xuanyue Empire, show such an expression?

Although it is said that Xuan Jiuding has been governing the empire's political affairs these years, everyone will never believe that Xuan Haoran will lose power. As long as he says a word, there is probably nothing that Xuanyue Empire cannot do.

It's just that people don't know that there are some things that can't be done with great power. For example, Xuan Haoran's 200-year limit, as long as he doesn't break through to the third level of the earth, he will definitely not survive that moment.

Another example is the illness of the second prince Xuanjing. Many senior spiritual masters of the imperial capital Baiyue City have been invited, but none of them can do anything about Xuanjing's illness. How can this be reversed by power?

Before, Xuan Haoran rushed to the side hall in a hurry just because Concubine Su sent someone to report that Xuan Jing's condition had deteriorated again, so he was delayed for two hours.

Perhaps in Xuan Haoran's heart, the life of his second son is much more important than the birthday that happens once a year. This year's birthday is probably going to be spent in sorrow.
