Chapter 686: Marquis's Mansion

"Well, the first goal now is to find out the truth about the emperor."

Prince Rui's face was solemn. He was restless when he thought that the emperor might have regained his youth.

If the emperor really regained his youth, he would have no chance of winning the throne. He could not accept this no matter what.

He must find out what the emperor was up to. He did not believe that there was really a magic medicine in the world that could make people young again.

...

At the same moment.

In the emperor's bedroom.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your success in prolonging your life."

Su Chen smiled faintly.

"This is all thanks to you."

Emperor Yunyuan said, motioning Su Chen to sit down opposite him, and then said, "I originally planned to directly confer you a duke, but I felt it was too eye-catching. With your personality, you might not accept it."

"Your Majesty really understands me."

Su Chen laughed.

"The title is just an empty title. From now on, you will be my savior. I will treat you as I would treat my savior."

Emperor Yunyuan said. Although he did not have fancy and brilliant words of thanks, this sonorous and powerful sentence came from the heart.

Su Chen carefully observed Emperor Yunyuan and nodded: "Your Majesty absorbs the power of medicine very well. This Songyun Pill can at least extend your life by thirty years."

The significance of these thirty years is not just thirty years. Emperor Yunyuan himself is a strong man who has already stepped into the Wheel of Changes. If there is no Songyun Pill to prolong his life, he will die before he can break through to the Wheel of Changes. But now with the Songyun Pill, there are thirty more years, and there is more time to break through to the Wheel of Changes.

Once the Wheel of Changes is successful, the life span can be increased again, and then it will be more than thirty years.

"Last time you said that if you help me refine the pill successfully, I hope I will make a promise to you. Now, you should tell me what kind of promise you want me to make?"

Emperor Yunyuan smiled.

"Actually, the promise I want is very simple."

Su Chen said, "Does your majesty know the Zhengyi Sect?"

Emperor Yunyuan laughed and said, "Of course I know. It is one of the several super sects in the empire."

"I once vowed to flatten the Zhengyi Sect. I hope that when that day comes, your majesty will not interfere. This is the promise I asked your majesty for."

Su Chen said.

"Is this the promise you asked for?"

Emperor Yunyuan was really stunned. He thought Su Chen would make a substantial request, but the result was just asking him not to interfere in something he wanted to do?

But the next moment, the emperor came back to his senses. What Su Chen said he was going to do was not a trivial matter!

Not only was it not a trivial matter, but it was to deal with one of the largest super sects in the Yunyuan Empire!

"Are you sure you can really do it? Dealing with the Zhengyi Sect is not an easy thing." Emperor Yunyuan asked with some doubts.

Even though Su Chen has won the championship of the Genius Sword Contest, it is only an honor among the younger generation.

For a well-established sect like Zhengyi Sect, with a strong foundation, it is a hundred times more difficult to crush Zhengyi Sect than to win the championship of the Genius Sword Contest.

"I have my own plan for this."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty just needs to promise not to interfere no matter what happens to Zhengyi Sect."

"If it were any other time, someone would harm the well-established sects in the empire, and it would be fine if Zhengyi Sect could solve it itself, but if it really came to a life-and-death moment for Zhengyi Sect, I would definitely intervene."

Emperor Yunyuan pondered, "However, since you have already informed me in advance, and I still owe you a promise, then I will promise you here that no matter what happens to Zhengyi Sect, I will not interfere, nor will I let anyone from the royal family interfere."

"Your Majesty doesn't seem to be worried about the safety of Zhengyi Sect."

Su Chen shrugged.

Emperor Yunyuan said, "To be honest, I'm quite curious about the feud between you and Zhengyi Sect. Who will have the last laugh? As a simple bystander, I am looking forward to how things will develop."

"Then your majesty will wait and see."

Su Chen smiled and said.

Su Chen talked with Emperor Yunyuan for a long time before leaving the emperor's bedroom.

Now he is the Marquis of the Empire. The emperor gave him a big house as the Marquis' Mansion. The location is on a street not far from the palace. All the people living nearby are the imperial relatives and dignitaries.

Su Chen went back to Rongxian Chamber of Commerce, packed up his things, and moved to the Marquis' Mansion with his companions.

Gu Qianyin and Li Shitong were not too excited about moving. The two women were the kind of people who were content with what they had. One was obsessed with martial arts and the other was obsessed with alchemy. They were not very picky about the living environment.

The most excited person was Gu Qianxue. The little girl couldn't sit still, but Su Chen always asked her to stay at home and not run around, so as to prevent her from getting into trouble or getting into danger.
