Chapter 384

Xingyao City, the capital of the Xinghan Empire, has a strong humanistic atmosphere.

The empire attaches great importance to education and cultural heritage, and there are many libraries and schools in the city.

On the streets, the nobles wore gorgeous robes, which were mostly made of a mixture of silk and magic textiles. The silk came from the silkworm farm in the south of the empire, while the magic textiles were woven from special magic plant fibers.

These robes were embroidered with exquisite patterns, some of which were family emblems, and some were symbols representing the glory of the empire, such as the national emblem of the Xinghan Empire - the Xinghan Eagle with its wings spread.

The clothes of ordinary people were relatively simple, but they were also distinctive.

As soon as Chen Ping and others entered the city, the news reached the palace.

Xingyao City has tens of thousands of passers-by every day, and most of them are dressed in strange costumes like Chen Ping and others.

The reason why they were recognized was mainly because Fu Guang greeted them in advance and showed Chen Ping's portrait to all the guards, so that they could engrave it in their minds.

The main reason was that Chen Ping was indeed very recognizable.

The angular face and deep eyes are like the brightest stars in the night sky, deep and mysterious, with a strong oppressive force and endless perseverance in his eyes.

His eyebrows are thick and stylish, and when they are slightly raised, they seem to be able to cut off everything that stands in front of him. His lips are thin and firm, and when they are pursed, they are like a sharp blade that has not been unsheathed, full of cold breath.

He wore a black tight-fitting suit on his upper body, which was obtained from the Golden Dragon Treasure House and was made of a precious material called black silk.

Black silk is extremely tough and light as a feather. It can stretch freely with Chen Ping's body movements without any sense of restraint.

There is a circle of silver lines embroidered on the collar of the tight suit. The lines are like mysterious runes, emitting a faint cold light. It is part of a defensive formation that can be automatically triggered when in danger to resist the enemy's attack.

The cuffs of the clothes tightly wrapped around his arms, and the cuffs were embroidered with flame patterns with red silk thread.

The lower body is a pair of black trousers, and the trouser legs are neatly tucked into a pair of black boots.

The material of the trousers is also black silk, and several black scales are inlaid in the key parts of the legs, such as the knees and the outside of the thighs. Not only are they extremely hard, but they can also enhance Chen Ping's leg strength and defense.

The boots are as high as the middle of the calf, and there are exquisite carvings on the boots.

A wide belt is tied around the waist, which is made of golden red satin and inlaid with a huge blue gem.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you. Your strength has improved so fast that I can't catch up with you!"

I heard his voice before I saw him. Fu Guang came with a team of guards and hurried over. The originally noisy streets were instantly quiet, and ordinary people who were strolling around also avoided him.

"Brother Fu Guang, long time no see!" Chen Ping clasped his fists.

"I don't know, what should I call you?" Fu Guang asked with a smile.

At the beginning, Chen Ping used the alias Chen Jingnan at the Sword Master Conference on Yanchi Island, and Fu Guang guessed that this was not Chen Ping's real name.

"Just call me Brother Chen!" Chen Ping responded.

"Brother Chen, you can stay a few more days in Xingyao City this time, so that I can do my best to be a good host!" Fu Guang was very enthusiastic.

Some time ago, Fu Guang collected a lot of information about Chen Ping. He not only knew that he was the Sword Master of Yanchi Island, but also the benefactor of the dwarf tribe on Coco Island. He also had an adventure in the holy land of holy healers, Lion Heart City, and helped the archbishop solve many problems.

Not long ago, a new island was discovered in the southern waters of the Xinghan Empire. There were a large number of elves on it, and its patriarch even reached the sixth level of strength, named Dani.

Fu Guang also personally led people to the island. The elves there named the island the Forgotten Island, which was very consistent. During the conversation, the elf queen Dani mentioned Chen Ping many times, and her words were full of admiration.

According to legend, there is a more powerful world above the Star Continent. After years of searching, Fu Guang was ordered to go to that world after the blessing of several powerful people. Although he only stayed there for a few days, there were also legends about Chen Ping.

In the center of that world is the most powerful elves. It is said that the current elf clan leader also has a deep connection with Chen Ping.

Fu Guang is naturally more respectful to Chen Ping, who has so many identities.

"Brother Fu Guang, you are too polite! I really have some important things to ask you this time!"

"Brother Chen, you are too polite. If you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know!" Fu Guang said seriously.

Chen Ping did not beat around the bush: "Do you know... the whereabouts of the star fragments?"

On the Star Continent, the seven sacred artifacts are habitually called star fragments.

"This... even the imperial family knows very little about the relevant information!" Fu Guang frowned slightly. He did not expect Chen Ping to ask such a question right away.

"Knowing little? That means knowing something?" Chen Ping continued to ask.

"I know someone who may know more than the imperial family!"

"Where is she?"

"She just came to Xingyao City three days ago and is now in the palace. The third princess has a close relationship with her. After arriving in Xingyao City, she was invited to the third princess!" Fu Guang answered.

"General Fu, can you take me to meet this person?"

"This... I'm afraid it's a bit presumptuous..." Fu Guang hesitated.

Chen Ping raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was just past noon: "It's indeed a bit abrupt to go there now, so let's talk about it in the evening!"

"Uh..." Fu Guang was even more speechless.

"I know that Brother Chen is very powerful, but this is Xingyao City after all, the capital of the most powerful country in the entire Xingchen Continent. You should be patient. I will send someone to deliver the letter to the palace immediately. I believe that the third princess will send someone here soon!"

Fu Guang was indeed worried about Chen Ping's impulsiveness. He did not think that Chen Ping would be in any danger. Instead, as the commander of the imperial army, his most important responsibility was to be responsible for the defense of the imperial capital. If Chen Ping rushed directly into the palace, even if he saved his life, he would suffer some hardships.

"Don't worry, General Fu, I just said it casually. I never like to cause trouble!" Chen Ping answered seriously.

Fu Guang slowly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He immediately sent someone to deliver the letter to the palace, and then took Chen Ping and others back to his mansion and entertained them warmly.

"Brother Chen, you are really a big drinker!"

Fu Guang thought that he was the person with the best alcohol tolerance, but until this moment, he realized that he was really naive.

Chen Ping drank the strongest wine in the entire imperial capital like drinking water, without changing his expression or heartbeat.

"Good wine!"

Xiao Hei lay at the bottom of the wine glass in Chen Ping's hand. He hadn't drunk so much for a long time.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Fu Guang drank to his heart's content and even performed a sword dance for Chen Ping.

The banquet ended late at night.

"Found it?"

"Hey, I found that person, and it's an old acquaintance! Hiccup!" Xiao Hei nodded.

The reason why Chen Ping didn't rush into the palace to look for him was that he let the alien insect swarm sneak into the palace to investigate first.

Although his current strength is not what it used to be, it's better to be safe than sorry. There are always people who are better than you. He still needs to fully grasp the situation in the palace so that he can take action in time.

Chen Ping closed his eyes slightly, and saw the situation in the palace from the perspective of the alien insect: "It's really an old acquaintance, let's go say hello!"
