The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

After they left, the once bustling Heroes' Banquet suddenly became deserted. Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and loss.

After all, the thrilling battle just now had completely wiped out everyone's interest. Who would still have the heart to continue the banquet? Moreover, after such a fierce battle, everyone was already exhausted and no longer had the desire to compete.

Especially after witnessing the powerful fighting power displayed by Xueyue City, even if someone reluctantly wanted to continue the competition, I am afraid that the final winner would still be the people from Xueyue City.

At this moment, the others also stood up and said goodbye, hurriedly leaving the scene. Not long after, Li Hanyi and Yan Zhantian returned almost as soon as they left.

When Li Hanyi returned to the banquet, he found that most of the guests had left, leaving only a few people.

She couldn't help but frown, walked quickly to Mo Luyi's side, and asked anxiously about the subsequent developments of the matter.

On the other side, Yan Zhantian looked at the messy scene in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Oh, I came back too late! But judging from the current situation, it seems that it doesn't matter whether I say those words or not." After speaking, he turned around and took another step, slowly left, and his figure gradually disappeared in the distance.

Qi Tianchen had just returned to Tianqi City when Emperor Mingde arrived. Today was even more serious, with so many people running to the Imperial Observatory. Now that Jin Xuan was here, he felt that being the Imperial Master was becoming more and more boring, but he still had to deal with it. Thinking of this, he put on his social smile and went out.

Qi Tianchen: "It's really rare that the eunuch has time to visit me today."

Jin Xuan: "National Master, you haven't left Tianqi City for more than ten years, right? What's so important that you want the National Master to go there in person?"

Qi Tianchen put down the teacup that was about to reach his mouth and said, "It's just an agreement with an old friend."

Jin Xuan: "Ah~, yes, that's right, Imperial Master, I heard that five days ago, after His Majesty returned to the capital, he visited the Imperial Observatory. Hiss~, and before that, Marquis Jinyi Lanyue left the city."

Qi Tianchen smiled as if he had suddenly realized something, "So this is what the eunuch wanted to do. Hahahaha, this is really too much foreshadowing."

As they spoke, both of them laughed insincerely. Seeing this, Jin Xuan did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Okay, then, Jin Xuan will not blame the outsiders for beating around the bush anymore. His Majesty suddenly announced that he would appoint a crown prince. According to the laws of Beili, the inheritance of the throne will be divided into two scrolls. One is given to the Five Great Observatories to convey the Holy Will, and the other is given to the Imperial Observatory to convey the Heavenly Way. Only when the names on the two scrolls match, the position of crown prince will be recognized. However, Jin Xuan has not received that scroll. I feel uneasy, so I took the liberty to ask the Imperial Master. I wonder if the Imperial Master has received that scroll?"

Qi Tianchen shook his head: "No."

Jin Xuan: "Have you ever asked the Imperial Master?"

Qi Tianchen nodded: "Yes, I asked."

Jin Xuan felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He wanted to drink some tea to calm down, but he was afraid that he would make too much noise and miss the answer, so he slowly moved the teacup in front of himself.

Qi Tianchen said, "I said that the Way of Heaven is only a possibility. I just expressed my own thoughts. The real decision is made by His Majesty." He bowed his hand in the direction of the palace. Jin Xuan was thoughtful after hearing this.

Inside Prince Bai's mansion, the Ninth Prince was already discussing this matter with Prince Bai. Prince Bai replied, "'White can stabilize a country, red can expand borders, but if a dragon is in the wild, the world will be in turmoil.' Did the Imperial Master really say this?"

Ninth Prince Xiao Jingxia said, "It's absolutely true. After the court was dismissed today, a total of thirteen ministers went to visit the Imperial Observatory, but they were all turned away by the Imperial Preceptor. Well, only when Grand Preceptor Jin Xuan went did the Imperial Preceptor meet him."

Prince Bai Xiao Chong: "These sixteen words don't sound like a suggestion. Coming from the mouth of the Imperial Master, they sound more like a motto."

Ninth Prince Xiao Jingxia: "But second brother, the Red King has been gone for a long time. Father doesn't know why he didn't mention this matter. Logically speaking, Father can't be unaware of it."

Xiao Chong: "Perhaps Father knew where Seventh Brother had gone, so he didn't pursue the matter."

Qi Tianchen wandered alone in the Imperial Observatory, muttering to himself, "What kingdoms are there to establish, what borders to open? There is only one true dragon, only one Son of Heaven. The victor stands on the high platform, the rest crawl beneath it, blood flows like a river. Generation after generation, dynasty after dynasty, the stars change day and night, dynasties come and go, but this one thing remains unchanged throughout the ages."

Meanwhile, back at Leijiabao, Mo Luyi and Zhao Yuzhen were also preparing to leave for Penglai. They were drinking tea in the courtyard and bidding farewell to everyone.

Mo Luyi smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone, this Heroes' Banquet is over. Those who should leave have left, and those who need to be healed have recovered. Now, it's time to leave."

Lei Wujie on the side looked at Mo Luyi and others with reluctance, and his originally sunny and handsome face was now full of sorrow.

He held Mo Lvyi's sleeves tightly with both hands, pouted his lips and started to act cute and coquettish: "Sister Lvyi, please stay for a few more days! If it weren't for you and Senior Xuan Jianxian's care along the way, it wouldn't be so easy for us to come back! But we haven't had the time to treat you well and show our hospitality." After that, Lei Wujie blinked his big watery eyes and stared at Mo Lvyi pitifully.

However, Li Hanyi simply chose to ignore her brother's lackluster behavior. She looked at Mo Luyi calmly and asked, "So, are you guys going back to Wangcheng Mountain next?"

Hearing this, Mo Luyi first turned her head to glance at Zhao Yuzhen beside her, then shook her head slightly and replied, "To be honest, Yuzhen and I are not young anymore, so this time I went out with the intention of taking him to meet my family so that we can get married as soon as possible."

Wuxin: "Oh~, aren't Senior Mo and Senior Xuan Jianxian both from Wangcheng Mountain? Where else do they need to go to see their families?" Hearing this, everyone else looked at Mo Luyi.

Mo Luyi's lips curled up slightly, and she said with a faint smile, "Although I grew up in Wangcheng Mountain, I still have an older brother who currently lives in Penglai. This time, I'm going to take Yuzhen to meet my brother."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present showed surprise on their faces. Obviously, they knew very little about Penglai.

Lei Wujie was even more confused. He subconsciously reached out and scratched his head, muttering, "Penglai? What place is this? Why have I never heard of it? Xiao Se, you are knowledgeable, do you know what Penglai is?" As he said that, he looked to Xiao Se for help.
