C110 Youth Behind the Curtain
C110 Youth Behind the Curtain
The outer perimeter of the palace was heavily guarded, and there were constantly soldiers moving about. Compared to the outer perimeter of the Imperial City, the guards here were many times more tightly guarded.
This place was the center of the Imperial City, also the center of power within the Snow Moon Kingdom, the location of the Snow Moon Royal Household, the Imperial Palace.
It was rumored that there were 8,100 obstacles in this palace, and only by passing through the curtains of these obstacles could one enter the heart of the palace.
However, at that moment, there was a figure shuttling through the palace hall. His footsteps were steady, as if he was walking on an ordinary street. The guards in the shadows did not stop him.
This person was dressed in black, and the corners of his face were defined. Although he was young, he gave off a feeling of being as calm as a mountain.
After passing through a heavy curtain, the black clothed man arrived at a pond. Beside the pond was an ancient pavilion. A figure sat on a stone bench within the pavilion, holding a thin bamboo stick as he fished.
This figure wore a simple set of white clothes and had a gentle expression. He was around twenty years old and was about the same age as the man in black. As he casually sat there, he gave off an unfathomable feeling.
The black clad man walked to the back of the youth and stood there silently.
Moments later, the fisherman's hand trembled. A silver line streaked across in a gentle arc, and a fish weighing over a pound landed in the bamboo basket beside him. A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Nan Shan, you're here. Sit."
The young man turned around, looked at the man in black and gently smiled.
"Your Highness."
Nan Shan bowed to the young man, but did not sit down, and the young man did not force him.
"Nan Shan, you probably haven't been here for a few days, is there any news this time?"
"Yes." Nan Shan slightly nodded, and said. "Your Highness, Young Master Roc and Sir Luoxue have arrived."
"The Snow Moon Holy Academy is about to be established, so it's not strange for the two of them to have come to the Imperial City. I think, if it's only to this extent, you probably wouldn't deliberately make a trip here, right?"
The smile on the youth's face was still gentle, but in that gentle gaze, there was wisdom, and he saw through everything.
"Your Highness' foresight is like a god. Today at the Pure Heart Restaurant, Nan Shan encountered another interesting thing. Moreover, he encountered two interesting people."
"Clear Heart Restaurant. That is indeed a good place to go to. Nan Shan, the time that Qing Xin has left is not young either. When did you want to marry her?
The youth did not seem to be interested in what Nan Shan was saying, but instead mentioned about Nan Shan.
The black clothed man's heart was filled with gratitude. At the same time, he secretly admired his majesty, he was always able to inadvertently move the hearts of others, allowing others to sincerely feel his good intentions.
Qing Xin was a girl that he liked, if it was the young man who proposed marriage, even if the other party's family background was grand, he would not reject, even if Nan Shan's will was strong and determined, he would still be moved by his simple sentence.
However, Nan Shan knew that this was not the time to talk about him.
"Your Highness, today at the Pure Heart Restaurant, Duan Yu went over and made a ruckus. However, he met a sixteen year old youth and slapped her on the face on the spot."
"Hmm?" The young man smiled slightly, and said: "It is indeed an interesting thing. In the outer city, there aren't many people who would dare to slap Duan Yu in the face, that old fellow Duan Lie is simply too angry.
If it happened at the Pure Heart Restaurant, naturally, I wouldn't be able to stand by and do nothing, and Duan Lie also left. However, in the end, everything happened in vain, and the entire restaurant was destroyed by someone, including me, who fled in a sorry state.
Nan Shan laughed bitterly, causing the interest on the youth's face to grow even more. He joked: "An expert of Profound Martial Stage, a sixteen year old youth, shouldn't be possible. Which family is he from?"
"Your Highness may have thought wrongly this time, the one who attacked did indeed have the strength of Profound Martial Stage, but it was actually a woman. A very beautiful young woman, veiled, did not know of her identity, and as for that young man, he is indeed a disciple of some family, but he is definitely not what Your Highness thought he was."
Nan Shan intentionally kept the youth in suspense, allowing him to laugh: "Nan Shan, you've actually learnt how to ruin my appetite, but that woman from Profound Martial Stage, even you were unable to find her identity?"
"I can't find out, but I've never heard the slightest bit of news about her. But I think, His Highness is more interested in that youth."
"Oh?" A look of marriage flashed across the young man's eyes. A young man who was even more interesting to him than the Profound Martial Stage expert?
"What's his name?"
"Lin Feng, Dual Wood Forest, Maple Leaf's Feng." The man in black answered.
"Lin Feng." The young man muttered: "That day, in order to preserve a person's life, everyone in Cloud Sea Sect died. The person who was saved, seemed to be called Lin Feng."
"Yes, that's the one. However, his background should be more interesting to His Highness." The man in black continued to keep them in suspense.
"Tell me about it." The young man's eyes flickered.
"Lin Feng was born with the Yangzhou City." The man in black reminded him.
"Yangzhou City, Lin Feng..." After which, the young man's gaze stiffened as a brilliant light flickered in his eyes, causing him to feel extremely oppressed.
"Her son?"
"Yes, her son." The man in black nodded.
When the young man heard this, he went silent for a moment. His eyes flickered with uncertainty before he continued, "Indeed, my interest in him is much greater."
"Nan Shan, don't let anyone else know about this."
"Your majesty, I know what to do." Nan Shan replied with a smile.
At this moment, Lin Feng did not know that a conversation in the pavilion had given him several additional identities. However, there was not a single Lin Family whose status was related to Yangzhou City, nor was there a person from the Imperial City.
Stepping down from the carriage, Lin Feng and the other three looked at the enormous empty space in front of them. In succession, a few young disciples walked over with excitement and pride in their eyes.
Directly in front of the empty space, there was an arched gate. Above the gate, several large words were engraved — — Tianyi Academy!
The words seemed to be written in a gentle and gentle manner, but it was filled with a sharp aura. It was domineering, proud and aloof, as if under the heavens, it was a unique character that represented the heavens and the earth.
In front of the arched gate, there were a few old people sitting on stone benches. In front of the stone benches were stone tables with ink and paper placed on them.
In the crowd that had arrived, there would occasionally be some people who would rush up to the old man and pass him a letter. After finishing the written statement, they would retrieve their identity plates and in the end, step into the Tianyi Academy behind the arched door with excitement.
"Roar!" At this moment, the roars of a demonic beast sounded out, attracting the attention of many people.
The gazes of the crowd shifted over, only to see a young lady clad in fiery red riding atop a demonic beast.
This demon beast was a demon lion. It had brown fur that was as thick as fire and gave off a powerful pressure.
"He actually used a Spiritual Demonic Beast as a mount. What a grand show."
Some people were astonished, and their gazes were filled with jealousy and envy when they looked at the young girl.
"Zhong Ling."
At this moment, a voice rang out. Behind the girl, a black shadow flashed past, arriving at her side.
"Howling Moon Wolf, another Spiritual Demonic Beast." The pupils of the crowd contracted as they saw a young man, who seemed to be around sixteen to seventeen years old, sitting on top of the figure.
"As expected of Tianyi Academy, they are indeed noble holy lands."
Many people felt despondent in their hearts. Although Tianyi Academy was not well-known far from the Imperial City, it was extremely famous in the Imperial City. Anyone who stepped into the Tianyi Academy would either be a noble disciple with a strong innate talent, or a demon-level commoner that possessed exceptional innate talent.
Of course, there were also those that didn't even look at the demonic beast. Their eyes were filled with determination.
"Duan Feng, it seems like we are a little shabby." Lin Feng was leading the horse not too far away from the young man and woman. Taking in the might of the Blazing Lion and the Howling Moon Wolf, Snow Palace, who was being led by Lin Feng, trembled at the front of the carriage and did not dare to advance. Lin Feng could not help but smile bitterly as he forcefully pulled Snow, making her to slowly move forward.
"Brother Lin Feng, I am here to cultivate, not to enjoy." Duan Feng laughed as he shook his head.
The voice was heard by the man and woman beside him. The two of them turned around, looked at Duan Feng and the others, and said mockingly, "Why is another group of lowly commoners here."
