The Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
Ye Qiu met Emperor Wu of Zhou and the Great Zhou Emperor.
「Senior, long time no see!」 Ye Qiu greeted Emperor Wu of Zhou with a smile.
Emperor Wu of Zhou said: 「Still calling me senior? You are about to become the emperor’s son-in-law of the Great Zhou. It’s time to change your address. Call me great-grandfather like Ning’an!」
What does that mean?
Want to take advantage of me?
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “We haven’t gotten married yet. Why is senior in such a hurry?」
King Wu of Zhou said, “My grandson has already issued an order. This matter is a done deal. Quickly call me great-grandpa and let me hear!」
Ye Qiu said, “Let’s wait until after we get married to call.」
While they were talking, the Great Zhou Emperor had been secretly observing Ye Qiu.
This was the first time he had seen Ye Qiu. His pair of eyes were like a scanner, looking at Ye Qiu from top to bottom and from left to right without stopping.
He thought, “He looks good, about five-tenths as good as I was when I was young.」
He thought, “His figure is good, but still a little worse than I was when I was young.」
He thought, “His cultivation is also good. When I was in my twenties, I seemed to still be at the Nascent Soul stage… Cough cough, I am the emperor of a country. What am I comparing with him for!」
He thought, “No matter how excellent he is, he still has to call me father!」
The Great Zhou Emperor thought of this and was in a very good mood. He said warmly, “Changsheng, it’s rare for you to come here. Please sit down quickly.」
After speaking, he personally served tea and water to Ye Qiu.
If you didn’t know, you might think that Ye Qiu was his father.
When King Wu of Zhou saw this scene, he cursed in a low voice, “Useless.」
Ye Qiu said, “Senior, you don’t need to be so polite…」
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Great Zhou Emperor.
He said, “What time is it, and you still call me senior? We are about to become a family. You should call me father.」
Father?
You have such a thick face! xь.
It’s only because it’s you. If it were someone else, I would have already slapped them.
The Great Zhou Emperor then continued, “Is it too soon to call me father? I should be older than your father. You can temporarily call me uncle!」
That’s more like it.
”Uncle, we’re all family, no need to be so polite.” Ye Qiu felt a bit embarrassed seeing the Great Zhou Emperor pouring tea and even personally arranging the snacks.
”This is your first time here, so I’m in a good mood.” The Great Zhou Emperor said with a smile, without any of the majesty of an emperor, just like a warm-hearted uncle.
King Wu of Zhou really couldn’t stand it anymore and said impatiently, “Alright, stop messing around. Let’s talk about business!」
”Kid, speak up. Why did you come to see us?」
“If you want to say that you don’t agree to this marriage, then don’t open your mouth. That damned Taoist has already negotiated the terms with us. You can never go back on your word.
Damned Taoist?
Is it talking about Changmei?
He is really a damned person.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “I’m a man of my word. Since the old thing has negotiated with you, of course I have no reason to go back on my word.」
”So, you agree to this marriage?” The Great Zhou Emperor asked.
Ye Qiu nodded, “I agree.」
”That’s great.” The Great Zhou Emperor beamed with joy.
Ye Qiu said, “Senior, Uncle, today I came to see you really have a few things to talk to you about.」
「First of all, I want to know the specific content of the competition tomorrow.」
「In case I lose to others, not only will I lose face, but you will also lose face, right?」
The Great Zhou Emperor said: 「You won’t lose.」
Ye Qiu smiled and said: 「Uncle has so much confidence in me?」
「I have confidence in the Heaven and Earth Clock.」 The Great Zhou Emperor said: 「The Heaven and Earth Clock said that you are the first on the Hidden Dragon List and have the potential of a Great Emperor. I believe that among the younger generation in the cultivation world, no one is your opponent.」
「As for the content of tomorrow’s competition…」
The Great Zhou Emperor paused and said: 「I think this way. In order to make others convinced, the competition is divided into
two rounds.」
「One is a literary fight, and the other is a martial fight.」
「The literary fight is to compare things like writing poems, filling in lyrics, couplets, and painting. Our Zhongzhou has a prosperous literary heritage. Usually, if there are conflicts, everyone is also willing to solve them with a literary fight.」
「As for the martial fight, you can compare cultivation base and combat power, or you can compare alchemy and weapon refining.」
Alright!
Ye Qiu’s confidence was greatly strengthened.
In terms of combat power, or alchemy and weapon refining, he is not afraid of anyone.
As for those things like writing poems and filling in lyrics, although he doesn’t know how to do them, he can copy!
The Great Zhou Emperor asked: 「Changsheng, is there any difficulty for you in the competition? If you think there is any difficulty, I can think of a way with Grandpa and customize it for you.」
Customize it, isn’t this a black curtain?
You just said fairness and justice, and now you are going to engage in a black curtain?
Sure enough, in any place and at any time, as long as there is a competition, there will be a dark curtain. This is an eternal truth.
Ye Qiu said, “Thank you, Uncle, for your kindness. I don’t think I have any problems.」
”So confident?” The Great Zhou Emperor said, “I forgot to tell you that the people participating in the election of the son-in-law this time are not only all extraordinary in cultivation, but also learned scholars with excellent literary talent. It’s not an easy thing to defeat them.」
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “Uncle, don’t worry. In my eyes, they are all a bunch of… rubbish.」
”Hahaha, worthy of being my son-in-law, so arrogant!” The Great Zhou Emperor laughed happily.
King Wu of Zhou reminded Ye Qiu: “Kid, don’t be too arrogant. As far as I know, there are several very powerful people participating in the election of the son-in-law this time, such as Wei Wuxin of the Great Wei.」
”Yes, this kid Wei Wuxin is really powerful.” The Great Zhou Emperor said, “Wei Wuxin is young, but he is already at the peak of the Tong Shen realm. It is said that he can become a saint at any time.」
”His talent and learning are also very powerful. He is known as the number one talented scholar in the Great Wei.」
”Over the years, he has helped the King of Wei handle state affairs and has done a remarkable job. It can be said that he is the capable assistant of the King of Wei.”
”It is rumored that he is the next King of Wei!」
”Think about it, there are so many princes of the King of Wei, and he can stand out. He is definitely not an ordinary person.」
Ye Qiu didn’t take it seriously and said, “If Wei Wuxin is sensible, then don’t mess with me. Otherwise, I don’t mind sending him to reunite with Wei Wuxiang.」
「What do you mean?」King Wu of Zhou looked puzzled.
Ye Qiu said, 「Wei Wuxiang, the fifth prince of the Great Wei, was killed by me.」
「What?」The emperor of the Great Zhou was stunned. He looked at Ye Qiu carefully for two seconds and asked, 「So, you are thePavilion Master of Rongbao Pavilion?」
Ye Qiu nodded with a smile: 「That’s right!」
Suddenly, the emperor of the Great Zhou was so happy that his mouth could hardly close.
「I didn’t expect that Ye Changsheng was actually thePavilion Master of Rongbao Pavilion.」
「With the support of Rongbao Pavilion and the support of Qingyun Sword Sect, unifying Zhongzhou is just around the corner.」
「It’s a great profit.」
King Wu of Zhou asked curiously: 「Rongbao Pavilion is all over Zhongzhou. How did you do it?」
Ye Qiu said: 「To tell you the truth, the founder of Rongbao Pavilion is my grandmaster. He handed Rongbao Pavilion over to me.」
Grandmaster…
King Wu of Zhou and the emperor of the Great Zhou exchanged a look and thought that Ye Changsheng’s grandmaster was the quasi-emperor powerhouse of Qingyun Sword Sect, right?
「Senior, uncle, I have one more thing I want to talk to you about.」
Ye Qiu said: 「This matter was entrusted to me by my grandmaster to talk to you.」
Hearing this, the emperor of the Great Zhou became serious and asked: 「What is it?」
