Your Master... Is He Well?

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Changqing, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief!

"This..."

Did I hear that right?

"His name is Chen Changqing?"

"The Personal Disciple of the Mount Shu Sect Master?"

"Chen Changqing, the number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking, renowned throughout the entire Nine Provinces Continent?"

"It was him!"

How is that possible?

"..."

The moment Chen Changqing's identity was revealed, the entire imperial court was instantly shaken.

Number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking!

This title alone is enough to awe anyone.

It's safe to say that everyone present had heard of the name Chen Changqing.

However, no one expected that the helper brought by the Ninth Imperial Princess Liu Ruyan would be none other than that peerless genius who was famous Nine Provinces!

The previously disdainful gazes now turned into shock and apprehension.

"No... no way!"

How could she have found someone like that?

The Eighth Imperial Princess, Liu Qing, gasped inwardly, finding it hard to accept this reality.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan turned her gaze to Liu Qing and said in a cold voice:

"Eighth Imperial Sister."

Do you still think there's no one left in Mount Shu?

"My junior brother is not only ranked first on the Azure Dragon Ranking, but also the Personal Disciple of the Mount Shu Sect Master and the Eleventh Sequence Holy Son of Mount Shu!"

As soon as Liu Ruyan finished speaking, Liu Qing felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Previously, seeing that Chen Changqing was only at the Purple Mansion level, she didn't take him seriously and even mocked him to his face.

Little did anyone know that the person Liu Ruyan had brought was none other than Chen Changqing number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking.

"This..."

Upon hearing what Liu Ruyan said, Liu Qing was stunned and had no idea how to refute it.

Meanwhile, the other princesses also looked on incredulously.

How could that be?

"The person Liu Ruyan found is actually such a prodigy!"

"Number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking!"

"He's also the Personal Disciple of the Sect Master the Shu Mountain Sacred Land."

"..."

The princesses sighed inwardly, their minds starting to race.

"Um?"

"Is he Chen Changqing?"

"They really don't show off their abilities at all!"

The Eldest Imperial Princess, Liu Shi, muttered to herself, her expression becoming much more serious.

Just now, when she discovered that the helpers Liu Ruyan had found were only at the Purple Mansion Realm, she scoffed at them.

Some even wondered if Liu Ruyan had given up the competition for the Empress's succession.

But now, with Chen Changqing's identity being exposed...

Liu Shi then realized that she had made a huge mistake.

She was determined to win this Hundred Dynasties War, and Liu Ruyan felt the same way.

At the same time, the External Aids brought by the Eldest Imperial Princess all looked at Chen Changqing with one mind.

Previously, they had looked down on Chen Changqing, Cultivator at the Purple Mansion level.

But upon learning his identity, they were immediately shaken to their core.

After all, some of them had been listed on the Azure Dragon Ranking of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

But they have never reached the top of the Azure Dragon Ranking.

But Chen Changqing did just that.

Besides, there was also Jian Zhenzi, the previous generation's Azure Dragon Ranking.

He has dominated the top spot on the Azure Dragon Ranking for many years, a peerless prodigy who overshadows the younger generation, and is also a disciple of Mount Shu.

Jian Zhenzi once killed Nascent Soul Late Stage expert with a single sword strike when he was still in the Purple Mansion Realm!

Chen Changqing is also at the Purple Mansion Realm and is also ranked first on the Azure Dragon Ranking.

His strength is probably comparable to that of Jian Zhenzi back then!

So what if Chen Changqing is only at the Purple Mansion Realm?

How can the Azure Dragon Ranking be judged by ordinary standards?

Seeing the changes in the expressions of everyone in the hall, Liu Tian raised his head and put on a smug look.

Seeing the contemptuous and disdainful looks from everyone just now, he almost couldn't hold back several times.

Fortunately, Chen Changqing's identity was exposed, which immediately shocked everyone.

This made Liu Tian feel quite pleased!

"Let's see if they dare to look down on us again!"

"Changqing friend Changqing's cultivation level is indeed only at the Purple Mansion Realm."

"But he's the Azure Dragon Ranking in the Purple Mansion Realm!"

"That's someone who could be called an unparalleled genius across the entire Nine Provinces Continent!"

Liu Tian sighed inwardly, then glanced at Chen Changqing, his eyes filled with gentleness and appreciation.

Chen Changqing stood still, still appearing calm and composed.

After arriving in the Maple Leaf Dynasty, he was often looked down upon because he only had the cultivation level of the Purple Mansion Realm.

Wang Junmo, the garrison commander of the Imperial City; Liu Tian, Liu Ruyan's father; and the numerous princesses and Cultivators currently inside the palace...

Chen Changqing was used to this and didn't care at all how others viewed him.

As everyone was in shock, Empress Liu Ye on the throne was also deeply moved and shocked.

"This?"

"This young man is actually Chen Changqing, the number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking?"

Empress Liuye was secretly shocked.

Earlier, the Azure Dragon Ranking of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was updated, and the top spot changed Chen Changqing, from Jian Zhenzi to Chen Changqing.

This matter quickly caused a sensation throughout the entire Nine Provinces Continent.

As the Empress of the Maple Leaf Dynasty, Liu Ye naturally received the news.

At that time, she was still thinking about how exceptionally talented Chen Changqing must be to be able to surpass Jian Zhenzi and become the number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking.

Little did anyone know that the External Aids his daughter, Liu Ruyan, had found was none other than Chen Changqing, the Azure Dragon Ranking!

Although she was deeply shocked, Empress Liuye appeared calm on the surface and slowly spoke:

"Good."

"Now that we have met the helpers you have brought, let's conclude today's court meeting here!"

"Dismiss the court!"

Upon hearing what Empress Liuye said, everyone quickly snapped out of their daze, bowed to the Empress, and prepared to take their leave.

Liu Ruyan glanced at Chen Changqing, then prepared to leave.

But at that moment, Empress Liuye on the throne suddenly spoke:

"Like smoke!"

Chen Changqing.

"You two stay here!"

Upon hearing Liu Ye's words, Liu Ruyan and Chen Changqing paused.

Upon hearing this, the other princesses were all startled, their eyes flashing with jealousy and resentment.

"This?"

Why did the Empress Dowager leave Liu Ruyan and Chen Changqing alone?

"Is there something you need to tell me?"

"Hateful!"

"Liu Ruyan's luck is just too good!"

"Not only does he enjoy the Empress Dowager's exclusive favor, but he has also now recruited the number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking as an ally in the Hundred Dynasties War!"

"How come she's so lucky?"

'...'

The princesses grumbled amongst themselves, though they were very dissatisfied with Liu Ruyan, but dared not voice their dissatisfaction, and could only retreat dejectedly!

Before long, only Liu Ruyan and Chen Changqing remained in the main hall.

After Empress Liuye told them to stay, she rose and left, accompanied by her maids.

"Senior sister, what does the Empress mean by this?"

"She left us behind, but then she left herself!"

Chen Changqing glanced at Liu Ruyan and asked with a puzzled look.

Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, and also felt somewhat at a loss and confused.

At this moment, a maidservant approached:

"Your Highness Ninth Imperial Princess, please follow me!"

Then, Chen Changqing and Liu Ruyan arrived at the palace's back garden, led by the maid.

Here, a hundred flowers bloom in vibrant colors, and a sacred spring flows freely.

Inside an exquisite pavilion, Empress Liuye stood with her hands behind her back, gazing into the distance.

"Mother."

"The Empress."

Upon seeing Empress Liuye again, the two bowed in unison.

Upon hearing this, Empress Liuye slowly turned around, her gaze falling on Chen Changqing, and suddenly asked a question that had caught him completely off guard:

"How is your master...?"
