Chapter 429 Spring Peach! Seven Sects Unite!
Chapter 429 Spring Peach! Seven Sects Unite!
Chen Fan shook his head slightly, unconvinced.
Having other things to do, he got up and went out.
Seeing this, Xiaodengzi didn't ask any more questions and continued feeding the horses, chopping wood, and carrying water!
Leave the Imperial Stables.
Chen Fan walked with his hands behind his back into the Imperial Garden.
Looking around, after the commotion during the day, the palace was in a state of panic, with the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Xuan Tie Army patrolling everywhere!
Chen Fan, who was concealing his presence, ignored them and quickly arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace.
Bugs, bugs!
He had just learned two bird calls when he saw a familiar figure running out of the palace.
The newcomer had a beautiful face and was dressed in palace attire. She looked much thinner, but her figure was curvaceous, as if she were a young girl coming of age. It was none other than Xiao Chuntao, whom we hadn't seen for a long time.
"Little Chen, you're back!"
With tears in her eyes, Chun Tao rushed over to Chen Fan and gave him a bear hug as soon as she saw him.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, I think my back would have given out!
Looking at the delicate, teary-eyed Chuntao in his arms, Chen Fan chuckled and said:
"It's only been a few days since we last saw each other, and Chun Tao seems to have lost weight, but her curves are all in place... not bad!"
"How dare you say that!" Chun Tao said, her pretty face slightly flushed.
"You haven't been back for so long... I haven't been able to eat or sleep at all!"
"You seem to eat three big bowls of rice at every meal and sleep soundly every night!" Chen Fan chuckled.
"Alright, we're back now. His Majesty is conquering the seven kingdoms, so the Imperial Horse Stables are very busy..."
"Oh... I'm so glad you're alright!" Chun Tao exclaimed.
"How long do you plan to stay this time?"
"One day, I guess!" Chen Fan answered truthfully.
"The front lines are too busy... I have to go coordinate. Once the war is over, we'll be free... Oh, right... this is for you. I heard it's from a celestial sect, good for beauty and health. Remember to eat it!"
"This...is so precious! I can't accept it." Looking at the box containing the pills that was handed to her, Chun Tao shook her head slightly.
"Take it. You're the only one in our family. Who else would we give it to if not you?" Chen Fan said with a smile.
"Hmph! You've got a good thought! Here! This is a... life-saving talisman for you. I got it for you at Baole Temple. I hope you'll be safe and sound..." Chun Tao took out a talisman from her bosom and said with a smile:
"You have to promise me... nothing will happen to you!"
"Thank you for your kindness..." Chen Fan felt a warmth in his heart as he took the paper talisman and then put it into his pocket.
The two then sat together and chatted.
They were simply talking about what happened outside the palace and what happened inside the palace.
When she's happy, Chun Tao laughs heartily and expresses a longing to go outside the palace.
Chen Fan was also enjoying it and was willing to tell her those interesting stories from outside the palace, even though many things had changed!
For example, he described the incident of fighting with Qinglian Daoist as fighting with an old dog on the roadside.
Two hours passed in a flash.
As they were about to part, Chen Fan glanced at Xiao Chuntao in his arms and said:
"Close your eyes..."
Chuntao was taken aback, then shyly closed her eyes.
She opened her eyes after feeling a light peck on her lips, only to find that her beloved had already gone far away!
Stunned, she covered her eyes and said:
"Little Chen... be careful on your journey..."
Listen to the sounds behind me.
A tear welled up in Chen Fan's old eyes.
He waved behind his back in a flash and then quickly left.
After leaving Weiyang Palace, Chen Fan went to the library.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw a familiar figure walk out.
The newcomer was about five or six years old, with a handsome face and dressed in fine clothes. He was none other than Xiao Ju, whom we had not seen for a long time.
"I have met... Your Excellency, the Nine Thousand Years Old!"
Upon seeing Chen Fan, he quickly bowed his head in a low voice to pay his respects.
"Get up..." Chen Fan, who was squinting, nodded slightly.
"Finished watching?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I've finished reading." Xiao Ju nodded.
"Let's go then, we want some peace and quiet at home." Chen Fan smiled.
"Yes..." Xiao Ju dared not disobey and quickly left!
Watching that departing figure, Chen Fan's lips curled into a smile.
I vaguely remember Emperor Wu Xiao Wu mentioning this child, saying that although he was timid by nature, he had unlimited potential and, if properly nurtured, should be able to become the next emperor!
Chen Fan did not offer any opinion after learning about this.
After all, the current Emperor Jianwen of Dayuan was his disciple, and Emperor Wu was also his disciple!
As for who the next emperor will be, Chen Fan really doesn't want to get involved!
Lost in thought, he stepped into the library.
After sitting down by the window, Chen Fan habitually picked up a book and started reading.
But before long, footsteps came from outside the door, and then Ji Daozi, Ren Dahai, Zhou Xin, Song Jingang and others walked in.
Having just rushed back from the State of Chu, they went straight to see the old eunuch!
"Master...we're late!" Ji Daozi said with some fear upon seeing the old eunuch.
"It really came as a surprise... I only found out myself."
Ren Dahai remained silent.
When they heard that the Great Abyss Imperial City had been besieged by the Qingyun Sect, they immediately sent people back!
But as soon as they arrived at the city gate, they heard that the old eunuch had defeated two Nascent Soul stage monsters, and the news spread throughout the eight kingdoms in no time!
"Our family doesn't blame you..." Chen Fan raised his head and smiled, his eyes narrowed.
"Where is Emperor Wu...? Where has he fought to?"
"Zhao State, Master..." Ji Daozi said truthfully.
"The Great Abyss is at the height of its power, and the seven major sects—Xuanqing Sect, Lingxi Sect, Fu Sect, Changchun Sect, Qi Sect, Zixia Mountain, and Jingang Sect—are all now considering forming an alliance!"
Seven sects united?
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan secretly shook his head.
He thought that after Da Yuan ruined the Changchun Sect, no one could stop his rise!
Even if the Qingyun Sect wanted to forcibly restore order, he has now suppressed it!
It is no exaggeration to say that Daeyu is now the strongest of the eight nations!
Even the eight major immortal sects had to take this secular dynasty seriously!
Although a large part of the reason for this was related to Chen Fan, he was still somewhat unhappy after finding out!
After all, the karmic consequences involved are too numerous and too great!
Especially the fact that those people from the Eight Sects were secretly communicating with those people outside the Old Dragon City, wanting to release the Soul Refining Sect's patriarch, gave Chen Fan a headache just thinking about it!
Not to mention letting him interact with these people and get entangled in karma!
With a bitter smile, he sighed and said:
"Understood... Tell Xiao Wu... don't worry about our family, go find the Soul-Nourishing Wood and the Vitality Elixir, the sooner the better!"
Yes!
Ji Daozi nodded, not wanting to stay any longer, and then turned and left!
Seeing this, Ren Dahai also wanted to leave, but then Chen Fan spoke up:
"Zhou Xin and Song Jingang, you two go ahead. You stay in the imperial city and repair the great formation..."
"Yes... Master..." Ren Dahai was stunned for a moment, then turned and left!
After everyone had left, Chen Fan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
He closed the book and walked step by step to the window.
It just so happens that it's now dark and the moon has risen!
Gazing at the dark clouds, Chen Fan murmured:
"Old Dragon City..."
