55. Chapter 55: I Am Qian Qiye

The Great Qian Imperial Palace is magnificent.

From a distance, a purple dragon coils up, symbolizing the great fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty.

The entire palace was extremely solemn and magnificent, with every brick a treasure in the mortal world.

This is the imperial palace, a palace built by the entire nation.

It covers an area of boundless size, several times larger than the Great Luo Holy Land. Lu Changsheng had studied an article in his previous life called the E'pang Palace.

One description reads, "Three thousand li from east to west, two thousand five hundred li from north to south." This is an exaggeration of its size, though it's a misrepresentation; the E'pang Palace couldn't actually have been that large.

However, the Great Qian Imperial Palace was extraordinary. Its red walls alone stretched endlessly, perhaps even more than three thousand miles long.

The foundation of a dynasty naturally surpasses that of a sacred site.

However, the dynasty absorbed the beliefs of the people, unlike the Daoist sect.

In terms of quantity, no single holy land can compare to even one percent of a dynasty, but when it comes to quality, it's a different story.

The Holy Land is teeming with powerful figures who study supreme Daoist arts, while the Dynasty, though also full of hidden talents, is still somewhat inferior to the Holy Land.

Otherwise, how could the Holy Land have the right to speak, instead of the dynasty deciding everything?

The fact that the Great Qian Dynasty had to send various gifts to celebrate the grand ceremonies of the Great Luo Holy Land is enough to demonstrate the Holy Land's power.

Outside the palace, the area was extremely secure, with twelve entrances and exits, each with its own set of rules. Only court officials could pass through on the left, while the eunuch Tiannu was on the far right.

"Wow, that's really high."

Liu Qingfeng wasn't very educated, but he couldn't help but marvel at the towering red walls.

"This is a forbidden area of the imperial palace. If you have no other business, you must not linger here!"

Just then, a group of Golden Armor Guard walked over. These men, clad in golden armor, came before Lu Changsheng.

The leader spoke in a mild tone and did not appear particularly arrogant.

Perhaps because Lu Changsheng's appearance was so extraordinary, he was unsure of who Lu Changsheng was, so he dared not be too presumptuous.

"I am Lu Changsheng. I have come to the Great Qian Dynasty on the orders of my master to obtain Clearance Certificate."

Lu Changsheng took out the Great Qian Imperial Decree and showed it to the other party.

Upon seeing the imperial decree, the latter immediately knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation.

"We were unaware of the Imperial Tutor's arrival and have failed to greet you properly. We beg your forgiveness!"

The Golden Armor Commander knelt down, and the other Golden Armor Guard followed suit, all appearing fearful and uneasy.

This is a dynasty, where everything is extremely strict, and rules are more important than anything else.

"No need for formalities, take me to see the Great Qian Emperor."

Lu Changsheng spoke slowly, his face calm.

"Yes, please follow me, Imperial Tutor!"

The latter immediately stood up and led Lu Changsheng into the palace. At the same time, he said to the guards beside him, "Pass down the order to seal off the palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave without the emperor's decree."

Then, they entered the palace.

A horse-drawn carriage appeared.

The horse pulling the carriage looked very much like the legendary mythical beast Qilin. At first glance, Lu Changsheng really thought it was Qilin, but upon closer inspection, he realized that it was only very similar.

"Redwood Ancient Qilin Beast!"

Liu Qingfeng finally proved somewhat useful, recognizing the species of the ferocious beast in an instant.

What is it?

Lu Changsheng asked curiously.

"Senior brother, this is the Redwood Ancient Qilin Beast, which is said to possess a trace of the bloodline of the legendary divine Qilin."

Liu Qingfeng exclaimed in amazement.

"Is it that impressive?"

Lu Changsheng wasn't quite sure.

"A single Redwood Ancient Qilin Beast like this would cost at least a million catties of Spirit Stone, and these Redwood Ancient Qilin Beasts are top-grade! They are probably priceless."

Liu Qingfeng exclaimed in shock, looking as if he had never seen anything like it before.

This jade carriage is pulled by nine Redwood Ancient Qilin Beasts, showcasing its nobility and extraordinary nature, while also revealing the profound heritage of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Soon, Lu Changsheng boarded the jade carriage.

The Redwood Ancient Qilin Beast ran swiftly without any bumps or jolting; on the contrary, it was steady and extremely fast.

How many miles can this kind of horse travel in a day?

Lu Changsheng asked curiously.

"A fully grown Redwood Ancient Qilin Beast can travel up to 50,000 li in a single day at its top speed."

Liu Qingfeng pondered for a moment before giving his answer.

Fifty thousand li?

That's pretty good.

Traveling 50,000 li in a day, and the distance from here to the Yin Yang Holy Land is only 200,000 li, means that it will take only four days to reach the Yin Yang Holy Land, which is indeed extremely fast.

While Lu Changsheng was lost in thought...

Then they arrived at the Qian Qing Hall.

The exterior of the main hall is resplendent with gold and jade, and the ground is no longer made of bricks and tiles, but of the finest glazed jade.

Stepping onto the crystal jade, a gentle Spiritual Qi instantly rises from beneath your feet, making you feel incredibly comfortable.

"Extravagant! Extravagant! It really is extravagant."

Liu Qingfeng was full of praise.

The Great Luo Holy Land also has extraordinary places that cannot be measured by Spirit Stone, but compared to that, the Great Qian Dynasty is still stronger.

Standing outside the main hall.

Soon, Lu Changsheng felt a gaze upon him.

Look up.

On the dragon throne, a middle-aged man was looking at him with a smile.

Is he another gay man?

Lu Changsheng sensed something was wrong.

Shouldn't a monarch in theory be meticulous, with a square face, dignified and imposing even without anger, and exuding an aura of kingship in every gesture?

Why do I always look at myself and smile?

Is it really that funny?

Suppress your curiosity.

Lu Changsheng led Liu Qingfeng over with great respect.

"Chang Sheng greets His Great Qian Emperor!"

"Qing Feng greets His Great Qian Emperor!"

The two of them spoke.

"No need for formalities! Lu Changsheng, you are the Imperial Tutor of my Great Qian Dynasty. According to the rules, you do not need to bow to me. Please, please!"

When the Emperor of the Great Qian Emperor spoke, his face was kind, and anyone who didn't know him would think they were acquaintances.

"Seven Nights! Why aren't you coming out to see your teacher?"

Soon, before Lu Changsheng could speak again...

The voice of the Great Qian Emperor rang out.

At that moment, a figure slowly appeared in the sight of Lu Changsheng and Liu Qingfeng.

This was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, incredibly handsome. Although he couldn't compare to even one percent of Lu Changsheng, he was still quite good-looking. Moreover, there was an indescribable feeling about him, something just felt off.

It wasn't just handsome, but an indescribable beauty.

The other person walked with a powerful stride, exuding confidence and charisma; his eyes radiated an unparalleled sense of self-assurance.

Especially her almond-shaped eyes, which added an indescribable charm.

She even stared directly at Lu Changsheng, appearing quite open and natural.

"Disciple Qian Qiye greets Master."

Qian Qiye appeared and bowed to Lu Changsheng in a generous manner.

Well?

Teacher?

What's the meaning?

Do I have to bring another burden into this world?

One Liu Qingfeng Lu Changsheng is already hard to handle, and now they want to add another one?

That's impossible!

Lu Changsheng had already rejected Qian Qiye in his heart.

However, at that moment...

The voice of the Great Qian Emperor rang out.

"Imperial Tutor, Qiye is my most beloved princess. She admires you greatly, so I specially arranged for her to meet you today. At the same time, I also know that you are going down the mountain alone with no one by your side. It would be perfect if Qiye could help you, so that you wouldn't be bored to death on the long journey without anyone to talk to."

The Great Qian Emperor said with a smile.

Liu Qingfeng's expression changed.

Alone?

Hey! Aren't I human?

Should we just ignore this?

Etc!

In an instant, Lu Changsheng and Liu Qingfeng both noticed a detail.

Princess?

Is this a woman?
