Chapter 57 Marriage Proposal in the Palace

The Tianyu Palace is located in the central area of ​​Tianxing City and is divided into the inner city and the outer city.

The inner city is where the royal family lives, while the outer city is where many princes and nobles live. The emperor usually handles court affairs in the outer city.

But neither the inner city nor the outer city can be entered by ordinary people. The city is heavily guarded and is a veritable city of the emperor.

Especially in the depths of the palace, there are countless well-trained guards patrolling back and forth, and there are many powerful auras hidden in the darkness, which are as solid as soup.

It is said that the Tianyu royal family has a legion that is born hidden in the dark. That legion followed the ancestor emperor to conquer the Tianyu Kingdom that ruled the endless territory, and was passed down from generation to generation.

Everyone in the legion must go through harsh and cruel tests. Only by passing layers of tests can they become a member of the legion.

This legion only exists in the dark, and no one knows their identity except the contemporary emperor.

And this legion has a very loud name, the Dragon Riders.

If the Dragon Riders come out, Tianyu will be trembling!

It is said that there was once a super family that relied on its strong foundation and often despised the majesty of the royal family, challenged the authority of the emperor, and even threatened to change the surname of Tianyu Jiangshan!

However, this famous super family was slaughtered on the night of its family celebration, and blood flowed like a river, and no one escaped.

Some people said that this family violated the bottom line of the Dragon Riders, so they were destroyed!

At this time, in the forbidden area of ​​the palace, a woman stood by the railing, watching the rare and beautiful scenery.

The woman was wearing a simple pure white scattered flower skirt, her skin was whiter than snow, and her delicate collarbone made people love it. Even if her clothes were simple, it was difficult to cover up her stunning appearance.

Her beautiful eyes looked at the flowers blooming in the pool without blinking, but her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was a hint of sadness on her pretty face.

"Qin Xuan, when can you see me? He... has come back." The woman murmured in a low voice, with a strong sense of longing in her tone.

At this moment, a black figure appeared beside her like a ghost, without causing any noise, just standing quietly by the side, as if waiting for the woman's instructions.

This is an old man covered in a black robe, his face looks a little gloomy, but his expression is extremely sharp, and the wide black robe faintly exudes a palpitating fluctuation.

The woman seemed to know the arrival of the old man in black robe, without turning back, but just whispered: "Grandpa Kumu."

The old man in black robe was silent for a moment, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Princess, I have found out the news about that boy."

Hearing this, the originally quiet and peaceful girl's pretty face now showed a touch of excitement, turned around and looked at the old man in front of her in surprise, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.

"Is it true? Is he okay now?" The woman asked a little nervously.

Seeing the beautiful girl in front of him caring so much about someone, the black-robed old man felt a little upset and said slowly: "He is very good. He has reached the eighth level of Juyuan Realm. Now he has entered the Holy Beast Cave to practice. I believe he should be able to enter Kaiyuan Realm after he comes out."

"Kaiyuan Realm?" The girl said to herself. With his strength, he should be able to compete with the second or third level of Kaiyuan Realm when he reaches Kaiyuan Realm, right?

"Don't you care why his real combat power far exceeds his cultivation?" The black-robed old man stared at the woman and asked.

The woman seemed not to hear this. She turned to look at the fish swimming in the pond and said softly: "No matter what secrets he has, I always believe in him."

The black-robed old man nodded and said nothing more.

Just as he was about to leave, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head slightly and said: "There is one more thing. The man from the Sikong family has returned."

As soon as the voice fell, the figure of the black-robed old man disappeared directly on the spot, but the woman's delicate body trembled violently, and her expression became extremely nervous.

"I didn't expect him to come back." The woman sighed softly, and the sadness between her eyebrows could not dissipate for a long time, as if there were many sorrows and grievances accumulated in her heart.

At this time, the palace hall was very lively. Many ministers sat in the second row, all of them staring at the figures standing in the center of the hall.

On the highest throne, a middle-aged man with a dignified face sat on it. There was a majestic aura between his eyebrows. It was obvious that he had been in a high position for a long time. However, at this time, his face was a little cold, and he looked at the people below indifferently.

This person was the highest ruler of Tianyu Kingdom, Tianyu Emperor, Duan Wutian.

"I didn't expect that Sikong Xiannephew would come back from Xuantian Palace and be promoted to Yuanfu Realm. It's really a cause for celebration!" Duan Wutian said without moving his expression. Although it was a word of praise, anyone could hear the coldness in it.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is too kind." Sikong Xuan heard Duan Wutian's words and just smiled slightly without saying too much.

At this time, Ji Sai came out with a smile on his face, bowed slightly and said: "Meet Emperor Tianyu."

Duan Wutian turned his eyes to Ji Sai and asked: "Who are you?"

"My name is Ji Sai, from the Sun and Moon Empire." Ji Sai replied humbly and politely.

Although he was arrogant, he still had to show the respect he should have for the ruler of a country.

"Are you from the Sun and Moon Empire?"

The faces of many ministers in the hall changed. The status of Sun Moon Kingdom among the eighteen countries is much higher than that of Tianyu Kingdom. How could this person not shock them?

"Since you are from Sun Moon Kingdom, why do you come to Tianyu Kingdom?" Duan Wutian said solemnly.

The pride of Sun Moon Kingdom came to their Tianyu Kingdom. No matter what the reason is, its intention will be thought-provoking.

Ji Sai opened the white fan in his hand and fanned it gently. He glanced at Sikong Xuan and said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Sikong is about to get married, so I came here with a few friends to witness this grand occasion."

As soon as the voice fell, Di Ge, Mo Luan and Xue Wujian all laughed, not caring that this was in the hall, without a trace of fear.

Duan Wutian's expression gradually became cold, and a chill slowly spread from him. The temperature in the hall dropped a few degrees inadvertently.

"You are getting married? Is it a woman from the Sun Moon Empire?" A hint of surprise flashed across Duan Wutian's eyes. He pretended to know nothing and glanced in the direction of Ji Sai, causing the ministers below to laugh softly.

"You!" Ji Sai's expression suddenly became extremely ugly. He did not expect Duan Wutian to be so rude and make fun of him in public.

The smile on Sikong Xuan's face gradually faded. Since Duan Wutian pretended not to know, he had to solve the matter in his own way.

"Your Majesty." Sikong Xuan stepped forward and spoke calmly, his tone not as respectful as before.

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Duan Wutian narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were extremely sharp, staring at Sikong Xuan's eyes, revealing a chill.

As if he dared to say the next words, he would directly kill him.

"I have heard that the third princess is as beautiful as a fairy, dignified and elegant, and is the number one woman in Tianyu Country. Sikong is not talented, and wants to propose marriage to the emperor." Sikong Xuan said proudly, looking at Duan Wutian fearlessly, and his sharpness was also revealed.

"This..." Many ministers looked at each other, their faces looked quite solemn.

Duan Wutian stared at Sikong Xuan, as if he wanted to see through him.

If Sikong Xuan was not from the Sikong family, but just an ordinary first-class family, he would agree to this marriage without hesitation.

But he is not. He is the eldest son of the Sikong family, the largest super family in Tianyu Country. Once he agrees to such a marriage, with his status in Xuantian Palace, it is possible that the Tianyu royal family will change their surname to Sikong in the future.

This is something he will never allow to happen!

But this time Sikong Xuan obviously came prepared, bringing several Tianjiao disciples from other countries here, obviously to put pressure on him.

"Sikong has been in love with the third princess for a long time. I hope the emperor will agree to this marriage." Sikong Xuan said in a deep voice, his tone was very firm, and even revealed a hint of unquestionable.

Before Duan Wutian spoke, Di Ge chuckled: "Brother Sikong must be worrying too much. The emperor is so powerful, and brother Sikong is so talented. If he can become his son-in-law, it would be the best thing. How can he refuse?"

"That's right. With brother Sikong's talent, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find someone with one-tenth of his talent even in the entire Tianyu Kingdom." Ji Sai echoed.

The two sang in unison, and the atmosphere in the hall was immediately tense.

Although the ministers looked embarrassed, they did not dare to offend Sikong Xuan. After all, he was a person favored by Xuantian Palace and had a deep background.

Duan Wutian pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "I believe everyone present here knows that Sikong's talent is indeed one in a million, and I admire this very much."

Hearing this, Sikong Xuan couldn't help but raise his lips slightly, and a smile bloomed on his face, but the next words made his expression freeze there.

"But as for marrying my third daughter, I still need to ask her opinion and take her opinion as the main consideration." Duan Wutian suddenly changed the subject, catching Sikong Xuan off guard.

"Your Majesty, this is serious." Ji Sai said coldly, "Since you are the Emperor of Tianyu, you naturally have the right to order anyone to act, including your daughter!"

Di Ge and Xue Wujian also took a step forward, and the aura of the Yuanfu Realm was suddenly released. Their intention was obvious, to force Duan Wutian to agree to this matter.

"How dare you!" Duan Wutian's face turned cold, and his murderous intent raged out without reservation.

As soon as the words fell, a whistling sound was heard, and the ministers instantly felt that there were many more obscure auras outside the hall, all of which were extremely powerful.

They had no doubt that as long as Duan Wutian gave an order, they would immediately rush in and capture Sikong Xuan and others.

"You should know where this is. If I want you to die, you can't walk out of this hall."

A threatening voice came out of Duan Wutian's mouth, causing the ministers' hearts to tremble again.
