"This tenth prince may not be as dandy as outsiders think...

After walking out of the Tenth Prince's Mansion, Xu Qing recalled the previous scene, from the door that shattered as soon as he touched it, to the banquet that seemed to be prepared deliberately, and the storage bag that he took out because he seemed arrogant.

All of this, on the surface, seems to be due to his high profile and the tenth prince's actions are domineering, but from the perspective of the ending, every stroke contains deep meaning.

However, many times, the final judgment cannot be made based on one incident. Whether the tenth prince is really intentional depends on his subsequent behavior.

Presumably, this was also the reason why the tenth prince chose to do this. He was not worried about others other than Xu Qing and Ning Yan seeing the problem, because the power of words could change his intention at will.

Xu Qing was thoughtful, while Ning Yan beside him looked thoughtful. As a prince, Ning Yan was certainly not a stupid person. Now he saw the clues, so he looked at Xu Qing instinctively.

Xu Qing nodded slightly and returned to the mansion with Ning Yan.

As for the storage bag, after returning to the mansion, Ning Yan opened it in front of Xu Qing in the ancestral hall of the mansion. There was only one item in it.

That's a scroll.

It seems difficult to put it into the storage bag normally. The process of taking it out is a bit slow and you need to be careful, otherwise the storage bag will collapse and the scroll will be lost in the cracks in space.

As for the scroll itself, it is wrapped in special materials, and even the storage bag is specially made. Only in this way can it be barely stored in the storage bag.

This shows that the Tenth Prince is also serious about it, and such preparations require a lot of energy and time to complete.

This was also the reason why Ning Yan left in a hurry and could not take this thing with him.

The moment he took out the scroll, Ning Yan's body trembled a little. He gently touched the scroll with memories in his eyes. After a while, he opened it and hung it in the ancestral hall.

It was a portrait of a woman.

Wearing a simple blue dress, she is very elegant. There is no decoration on her hair. She has a delicate appearance, a cunning look between her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth are raised, and there is some joke in her smile.

Judging from her appearance, she is not absolutely beautiful. There are many people who are prettier than her, but I have to say that she is a girl with great personality. There seems to be light in her eyes. Through the portrait, you can feel her lively personality.

Looking at the portrait, Ning Yan felt melancholy in his heart. He silently stepped forward, lit incense in front of the portrait, and worshiped his mother.

Xu Qing looked serious and stepped forward. After offering incense and worship to Ning Yan's mother, he stared at the woman in the portrait. Suddenly his expression moved slightly and his eyes fell on Ning Yan's mother's eyes.

This portrait was made by someone unknown. It is very vivid. Not only the pupils are drawn, but also the objects reflected in the pupils are also depicted.

Although it is a bit blurry and cannot be seen clearly, from the outline, it seems that an altar is reflected in the pupils of the portrait... But if you look closely, it doesn't seem like it is just a loft.

How exactly, I can't tell.

Xu Qing pondered, keeping this matter in mind, and glanced at Ning Yan, who was looking at the portrait with longing.

Based on his own similar feelings, Xu Qing knew that at this time, Ning Yan might need to be alone more.

So he left the ancestral hall silently without disturbing him. Walking in the prince's mansion, Xu Qing could occasionally see the sword-bearer who had followed him from Fenghai County on patrol.

Apart from them, the entire courtyard was empty.

The breeze blows, and the bells hanging under the eaves make a crisp sound, which is very ethereal.

The sense of emptiness of the surrounding environment also became apparent in the ringtone.

Zixuan did not return, and neither did the captain. After the two of them arrived in the imperial capital, they each had their own affairs, and Kong Xianglong also went to visit Li Yunshan.

So at this moment, apart from Ning Yan, only Xu Qing and Wu Jianwu were left in the entire courtyard.

Far away, from the direction of the lake, there was the sound of Wu Jianwu reciting poetry, floating in the wind and bells.

"The water and the sky are chaotic and dusty. The emperor is burning a koi carp!"

“What a poem, what a poem!”

The first sentence is the voice of Wu Jianwu, and the second sentence is the parrot's praise.

Xu Qing glanced over with his mind and saw Wu Jianwu sitting there by the lake, staring at the lake and thinking hard, occasionally uttering a few poems, and the parrot beside him, besides cheering, also had a new job.

That's the record.

Record Wu Jianwu's poems on jade slips in case Wu Jianwu needs them from time to time.

Seeing the two of them having fun, Xu Qing simply sat cross-legged on a stone chair in the courtyard, feeling the wind around him and listening to the bells in his ears, his heart gradually became calmer.

After sorting out the information he knew, he also understood that he might have to stay in the imperial capital for a while.

Because until now, the Human Emperor has not summoned him.

Xu Qing was not in a hurry. After sorting out his thoughts, he closed his eyes and started practicing.

In the imperial capital of the human race, the spiritual energy is much richer than that of Fenghai County. Although the heterogeneity is not absent here, it is very small. For ordinary people, this means that the life span will be almost normal.

For monks, the speed of practice will be faster than the outside world, and the possibility of physical changes will be infinitely reduced.

So Xu Qing did not waste the conditions here and immersed himself in practice.

Now, he has opened three divine treasures, but he still has no idea about the fourth one. This is something he needs to consider in the future. There is another important point, and that is the divine state.

Although Xu Qing can support the divine state of the first divine treasure, the second divine state requires the blood and flesh of the Red Mother to provide nutrients. This kind of consumption can be done in a short time, but it cannot last long.

Not to mention the third level of divine state.

"We need to find a way to change this phenomenon."

Xu Qing pondered. Before coming to the imperial capital, he asked his master this question. The seventh master's reply was that in the imperial capital, Xu Qing could find the answer.

"Where is this answer?"

Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the sky. After a long time, he closed his eyes and continued to breathe.

Time passed like this day by day. After half a month, all parties in the imperial capital were paying attention to Xu Qing's power, and their level of influence gradually decreased. In fact, Xu Qing had not left the courtyard in the past half month.

As for what happened between Xu Qing and the tenth prince, it has naturally been known to all parties for a long time. The tenth prince even sneered at the banquet many times, with strong hostility towards Xu Qing in his words.

There is another important issue, which is also the source of distracting the attention of all parties.

The battle of the Black Sky Clan changed a few days ago. The reason was that a prince from the Yanyue Xuantian Clan was invited to the Royal Capital of the Black Sky Clan.

This matter is extremely sensitive, and the war between the two sides has stalled because of this, and the atmosphere has become tense.

As for Zixuan and the captain, Xu Qing rarely saw them in the past half month. Most of the time, Xu Qing was meditating alone in the courtyard.

Until the evening of that day, two old friends of Xu Qing came outside Ning Yan's house. After the announcement, the two men were invited into the courtyard by the sword bearer.

"Xu Qing, long time no see, haha." As soon as he saw Xu Qing, one of them smiled and sat on a stone chair nearby in a very familiar manner.

The other one was a little cautious and bowed to Xu Qing from the side.

Xu Qing opened his eyes from his cross-legged position, his eyes fell on these two people, he recalled them briefly and recognized them.

"Brother Meng, Brother Huang."

The one who is cautious is Huang Kun, the sword holder, while the one who is familiar with it is Meng Yunbai.

Xu Qing had met these two people at the banquet of the Seventh Prince, especially Meng Yunbai, the grandson of the Taiwei, who was sitting next to Xu Qing at the banquet and had introduced them to him.

I also communicate more than with other people.

"Haha, Xu Qing, when I saw you, I felt that your future was limitless, and we would definitely meet again someday."

"Sure enough, this is not in the imperial capital, we saw it."

"I actually wanted to come to you half a month ago, but my family wouldn't let me, and other parties were also paying attention. Now there are changes in the Black Sky Clan war, and all parties' attention is focused on the war. I was finally allowed to come with you.

You contact me.”

Meng Yunbai's character was the same as what he showed at the banquet at that time. He looked carefree and could say anything. His inner qualities were directly revealed as soon as he opened his mouth.

Huang Kun on the side also nodded.

"It's the same reason in the Sword Holding Palace. In fact, many sword holders want to have more contact with you, Xu Qing..."

Meng Yunbai blinked and spoke mysteriously.

"So today Huang Kun and I were invited to the Hongchen Building. After thinking of you, we came together to invite you. What about Xu Qing, do you want to go have a drink together?"

"Let me tell you, the Hongchen Building is a good place. Have you heard of the ten super sects of the human race? The Hongchen Wangqing Building inside is what I call the Hongchen Building."

"This sect is different from other sects. Most of the disciples are female cultivators. They cultivate to transcend the world and forget their emotions. But if you want to transcend the world, you must join the world, and if you want to forget your emotions, you must devote yourself to love."

"As a result, this sect has opened Hongchen Buildings in many places. The prices are outrageous, and they also have requirements for status and cultivation. Those who do not meet the requirements will not be allowed to enter no matter what.

Basically, once I go there, I lose all my pocket money for a month, and while I am having fun inside, the disciples of Hongchen Tower inside are also practicing."

"It's just that I don't sell my body by performing arts, and no one dares to use force. Both parties need to treat each other with respect, because it is said that this building worships a god, and their god is the Xingyan High God of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan."

"As for the female cultivators in this building, each one is more beautiful than the other, and the figure is more attractive than the other. At the same time, if we are charming ourselves, and we can cultivate together as a family, it will be the ultimate happiness in the world."

Meng Yunbai licked his lips, feeling very hot in his heart. Seeing that Xu Qing was not interested and seemed to want to refuse, he started to persuade.

"In addition, today's game is hosted by the emperor's son of the Star Emperor Supreme Sect. He is a descendant of the Star Emperor. I think that when you come to the imperial capital, you will be in a whirlpool most of the time. Even if you plan to

Although you are isolated, it is good to have many friends in the imperial capital. You can also take this opportunity to conduct your own observations and see many things clearly."

Xu Qing pondered, Meng Yunbai's words made some sense. He really wanted to observe all parties in the imperial capital so that he could make his own comprehensive judgment.

Meng Yunbai extended his warm invitation. After thinking about it, Xu Qing nodded slightly, stood up, walked out of the mansion with Meng Yunbai and Huang Kun.

Meng Yun kept talking in vain along the way, introducing Xu Qing to the customs and customs of the imperial capital. His words, combined with the information Xu Qing had previously known, made Xu Qing understand the imperial capital better.

As dusk passed and the sky got darker, the crowd was not less, but more.

For this capital of the human race, life at night is equally exciting, and in the west of the city, there is a courtyard, which is luxurious and magnificent, with rockeries and flowing water inside, and the sound of warblers and swallows can be heard from time to time.
