Chapter 577: Imperial Palace

"I will settle this account with the Lin family sooner or later."

Su Chen's eyes were indifferent. Those who dared to plot against him behind his back never had a good end.

If Su Chen's grudges were limited to the grudges between him and Lin Wei and Lin Cheng, the two younger generations of the Lin family, before, then now, the scope of this grudge has expanded to the entire Lin family.

"Friend Chen, in fact, I came here this time to give you an invitation."

He Yandan King got to the point.

"What invitation?"

Su Chen asked.

He Yandan King took out an invitation. The surface of this invitation was gold-plated, and there was a gem in the middle. It was the most luxurious invitation Su Chen had ever seen in his life.

"The Queen Mother in the palace will celebrate her birthday next month. According to the Queen Mother's wishes, she wants to hold it in a lively manner, so she has invited the rich and powerful people in the imperial capital, as well as various top figures."

"You are the champion of the alchemy competition. You are considered a new noble in the imperial capital and are also invited. So I came here today to bring you the invitation."

Su Chen took the invitation and said, "The Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"

He Yan Dan Wang nodded: "How about it, do you want to go and see it? In my opinion, this is a good occasion for you. Many young talents in the imperial capital will be invited to the banquet. Maybe you can have a chance to exchange ideas."

"Okay, I will go."

Su Chen put away the invitation and thanked He Yan Dan Wang.

...

For a period of time, Su Chen continued to concentrate on his cultivation.

Time soon came to the beginning of next month, the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

Early in the morning, Su Chen woke up from meditation.

If someone was present at this moment, they would find that in his eyes that had just opened, there seemed to be two invisible small swords spinning.

"I have finally cultivated the Sword Yuan Nine Layers to the third layer."

Su Chen felt the surging sword spirit in his body. For a moment, he was affected by the sword spirit and was like a sword that shot up into the sky. His momentum was amazing, as if he could poke a hole in the sky.

A moment.

Su Chen restrained his momentum, took a hot shower, and changed his clothes.

Then, he walked out of the gate of Rongxian Chamber of Commerce and headed towards the palace.

The Queen Mother's birthday banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the palace.

In his past and present lives, this was the first time that Su Chen came to the palace of Yunyuan Empire. From a distance, the entire palace complex was endless and quite spectacular.

The royal family of Yunyuan Empire, Liu Family, had been working here for more than 700 years.

As far as Su Chen knew, the royal family of Yunyuan Empire, Liu Family, was a branch of the Liu Family, one of the eight ancient families in Dongzhou.

It is precisely because of this that, although the Yunyuan Empire is relatively weak among the thirteen countries in Dongzhou, it has been able to maintain peace and there has been no war. The reason is the support and protection of the Liu family.

Su Chen came to the gate of the palace and showed the palace guards the invitation given to him by King He Yandan.

"Hey, Mr. Chen?" A voice came from behind.

Su Chen looked back and saw Guan Fan, the head of the Guan family, wearing a military uniform, striding from the back with a group of Guan family high-level people.

"Duke Guan."

Su Chen greeted.

Guan Fan looked energetic, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is also here to attend the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother?"

"Yes, what a coincidence, I met Duke Guan again."

Su Chen also smiled. The Guan family is a family of dukes. In terms of status in the imperial capital, it is normal for them to come to attend the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother.

"Where is Concubine Guan?" Su Chen asked.

"She has returned to the palace a while ago. If nothing unexpected happens, she should also attend today's birthday banquet."

Guan Fan said, inviting Su Chen enthusiastically, "Let's go in together."

Su Chen walked side by side with Guan Fan towards the gate of the palace.

At this moment, many dignitaries from the imperial capital who came to attend the empress dowager's birthday banquet had gathered at the gate of the palace. They were all very surprised to see Su Chen and Guan Fan walking side by side!

What surprised them was that Guan Fan, a dignified Duke, would actually walk side by side with a very young boy?

The boy wore a black mask, and some people recognized him as the first place winner of the Imperial Capital Alchemy Competition that had already ended.

Someone else recognized that the boy was also the owner of the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce, which had recently become famous in the Imperial Capital.

However, that was all. What kind of charm did a young genius in alchemy, a businessman, have that could make Duke Guan so respectful and walk side by side with him?

Many people looked puzzled, and all kinds of eyes were looking at Su Chen.

In this way, Su Chen and Guan Fan walked into the gate of the palace.

As soon as they entered the gate of the palace, they felt a fresh air blowing in their faces. It was November, but in the palace, there were flowers blooming everywhere, competing for beauty, making the whole palace look like spring.

Obviously, this was for
