The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 54 - Participation in Talks

54: Chapter 54 Participation in Talks

54 -54 Participation in Talks

Following the imperial guards at the end of the alignment, Qin Jun looked ahead at the palace that was beginning to take shape and couldn’t help but be moved.

I have returned again after a month, and this time with such splendor.

My predecessor, you can rest in peace now.

“Wow, is that the royal palace?

So majestic!”

Chang Qianqian, arm in arm with Daji, exclaimed excitedly, drawing disdain from the princes walking ahead.

However, if they knew Chang Qianqian’s true identity, they would certainly have to retract their contempt.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Chang Qianqian’s status was higher than theirs.

The leaders of the three major sects and the Emperor were on equal footing, and Chang Qianqian was essentially a princess.

The difference was she had no siblings, while the royal family had plenty.

At this moment, Nan Yuxin came closer, looking at Qin Jun with suspicion.

Chang Qianqian instinctively repelled her and quickly stepped in front of Qin Jun.

Hands on hips like a mother hen protecting her chick, she demanded, “What are you doing?

Isn’t it unseemly for a girl to get so close to a man?”

Pfft—

Qin Jun almost burst out laughing, and Daji as well as Guan Yu had their lips twitching.

How did this girl’s speech resemble Qin Jun’s so closely?

Nan Yuxin’s face turned sour.

How could she tolerate being spoken to like this in public?

“And who are you?

I’m talking to Qin Jun, what’s it to you?” Nan Yuxin asked sharply.

If it weren’t for the imperial entourage with the Emperor and high-ranking officials ahead, she would have lashed out already.

“Who am I?

None of your damn business!” Chang Qianqian retorted rudely, making Qin Jun unable to hold back his laughter any longer.

Damn!

This girl’s a quick learner indeed!

Qin Jun’s laughter drew the attention of the princes and officials ahead.

Seeing him flanked by two beautiful girls, they all exhibited looks of envy and jealousy.

Nan Yuxin, witnessing Qin Jun laugh so disrespectfully, almost had flames in her eyes.

She quickly hatched a plan and, with a sly smile, clung onto Qin Jun’s arm, saying, “I am his fiancée; what are you by comparison?

Do I, the principal wife, not have the right to ridicule you?”

This caught Chang Qianqian off guard, as if struck by lightning.

He has a fiancée…

Chang Qianqian’s eyes reddened immediately, and tears began to well up.

Qin Jun found the situation headache-inducing.

He hurriedly pushed Nan Yuxin away and said to her formally, “I’m sorry, our engagement has long been a name without substance.

You assaulted me with kicks and punches yesterday, and today, I deem you unworthy of my attention! novelbuddy.cσ๓

Please have some self-respect!”

Refreshing!

He felt every bit of his predecessor’s memories.

Uttering these words, he felt exhilarated to his very pores!

Nan Yuxin was dumbstruck, having never heard such a peculiar turn of phrase before.

Still, the underlying message filled her with embarrassment and anger.

“Well said, man!”

Guan Yu praised, almost causing Nan Yuxin to choke with rage.

Daji’s eyes too were full of surprise.

They all knew Nan Yuxin’s identity—the daughter of the great general, and yet she was rejected by him.

The princes and officials who had been paying attention to Qin Jun’s group were looking at each other in astonishment.

It seemed the Third Prince had truly changed; the Qin Jun of the past would never have spoken such words.

Chang Qianqian felt a surge of happiness.

However, when Qin Jun turned to her with the same seriousness, he said, “We haven’t defined our relationship yet; don’t get ahead of yourself.”

He didn’t have deep feelings for Chang Qianqian.

His rescue and protection of her might have led her to develop feelings, but he certainly didn’t reciprocate them—he felt nothing more than a friendly fondness.

Life was long, and he didn’t want to be tied down so soon.

Most importantly, I’m going to be an Emperor in the future—how could I let these women constrain me!

Ha ha ha!

Qin Jun laughed wantonly in his heart while maintaining the facade of a gentleman, stunning Chang Qianqian into silence.

“Alright!

We’re about to enter the imperial palace,” Qin Jun waved his hand and said.

Chang Qianqian and Nan Yuxin silently followed behind, without uttering a word.

Daji couldn’t help but sigh and said, “Young Master is truly hard-hearted.”

“Damn, feelings should develop naturally.

I might accept them in the future, but not now,” Qin Jun shrugged, his body was only sixteen years old and still growing; he couldn’t allow himself to be hollowed out by lust.

If Daji knew what he was thinking, any fondness she had begun to feel would definitely have dissipated like smoke.

Qin Yu, who had been walking in front of the princes, was grinding his teeth.

After all, with his eighth level of energy refining realm cultivation, he naturally overheard everything Qin Jun and his group had said earlier.

“I will definitely make you fail and lose your reputation again!”

Qin Yu roared inwardly, but at this moment, he didn’t dare to turn back.

He felt as if he could already see Qin Jun looking at him with a mocking face, making his heart feel as if it were being pricked by needles.

After entering the imperial palace, towering palaces caught Qin Jun’s eyes.

The walls that demarcated their layouts were ten meters high, surfaced in red, and from a distance, one could see a small mountain at the center of the palace, atop which sat a massive and splendidly golden palace with two dragon statues on its eaves, exuding overwhelming power.

Suddenly, Shen Yan called out, “Anyone not involved in the meeting between the two kingdoms, please follow me.

I will take you to rest and wait.”

Normally, without an edict from the Qian Emperor, no one could enter the palace on their own.

But now, during the negotiations between the two kingdoms, showing the grandeur of the imperial palace to the emissaries from the other country was a method of deterrence.

“His Highness Yue, His Majesty has requested that you also join the talks, and General Guan may accompany you as well,” Shen Yan approached Qin Jun with a smile, who paused for a moment before quickly catching on.

It seems that dear father is planning to have Guan Yu present for the intimidation factor.

A joke, Guan Yu, who had killed Xiao Beilong with a single strike, merely standing there meant that the delegation from Canglan Kingdom wouldn’t dare to speak rashly.

“Alright,” Qin Jun answered with a smile, then he turned to Daji and said, “Take them there.

We’ll come to find you later.”

With Guan Yu around, he naturally wasn’t worried about his own safety.

As for Daji, despite her beauty that could cause the downfall of a nation, she wasn’t to be trifled with, as a Transforming Void Realm expert could easily sweep through Qianyue Kingdom.

Daji nodded slightly and then turned to lead the Roaring Sky Dog and Chang Qianqian to follow in Shen Yan’s steps.

Qin Jun, with Guan Yu, approached the Qian Emperor, who had already stepped off his dragon palanquin; beside him stood the Grand Preceptor Jia Xun, Qin Yu, and other second-rank officials, while Zhu Yishi was accompanied by five officials and Zhenhun.

From this, it could be seen that Zhenhun had already pledged his loyalty to the royal family of Canglan Kingdom, and Song Lang was just acting as a thug.

“General Nan, go back and have the imperial physician look at you.

Don’t let the injuries take root,” the Qian Emperor said with apparent concern to the bloodied Nan Meng, although his eyes were filled with mockery.

As his body deteriorated, he often looked back on his life and realized he had made many mistakes, one of which was trusting Nan Meng too much and giving him too much power!

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Nan Meng said with a strained smile.

Although Qianyue Kingdom had claimed a complete victory that day, he felt like he had been knocked down a peg.

Despite winning the duel, his performance paled in comparison to the stunning display of Guan Yu.

At this moment, seeing Qin Jun and Guan Yu approaching, he couldn’t help but frown and his gaze fell on Guan Yu, filled with wariness.

Only when he drew close did he realize how oppressive Guan Yu’s aura was, especially that subtle murderous intent which terrorized him; he understood he was no match for Guan Yu.

“My son, you have made great contributions in this duel.

Therefore, you also have the right to speak during the negotiations,” the Qian Emperor turned and said with a smile to Qin Jun.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu’s face turned as unsightly as a bruised eggplant.
