There is a smell of gunpowder hidden in the air, and only those who observe the subtleties can be keenly aware of it.

"Huangfu Wuji has always been very deep in the city, and treats everything indifferently. Why does he seem to care about this old man?"

Shen Xudong murmured in his heart, looking at Gu Chen thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, the grand ceremony is about to begin, so we can't delay it."

The eunuch next to Emperor Yanghong whispered, the emperor nodded, ignored Gu Chen, and walked towards the altar in a hurry.

As the heir of the Emperor of Heaven, Gu Chen would not salute the Emperor of Middle Earth, and the Emperor would naturally not show his embarrassment to him.

The emperor passed among the officials, and everyone retreated to the sides, followed by many members of the royal family.

Prince Ji Zefang passed by Gu Chen, smiled and nodded with him.

And not far behind him, a beautiful figure came into Gu Chen's eyes, which made his icy face ease a little.

It was Ji Lanchu, she was wearing a palace attire today, and she was a bit more noble against her beautiful face.

It's just that she seems to be thinner, obviously these days are not easy.

When Gu Chen saw her, she had already noticed Gu Chen, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Although Gu Chen is not real at the moment, she knows that he is him.

She passed by him, and Gu Chen's spiritual sense transmitted the voice. "How can I help you?"

Ji Lanchu couldn't help but pause in her footsteps, mist rose from her eyes.

She hesitated to speak, but in the end she said nothing and continued walking forward.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Gu Chen remained silent.

He didn't know what was going on in her heart.

Emperor Yanghong boarded the altar and began the cumbersome ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, praying for the prosperity of the country and the people, and good weather.

After the ceremony was completed, the banquet officially began. According to the pattern of the banquet of hundreds of officials, the banquet of the princes, and the banquet of heroes, everyone on the scene took their seats in turn.

Gu Chen separated from Shen Guoshi, and walked over to the seat of Zhuziyan.

The number of people in this Zhuzi banquet is the smallest, only one table.

And there are only five people at one table.

Participating in the Feast of the Sons will give you the qualification to enter the Myriad Dragons Secret Land together with the descendants of the royal family, and the Myriad Dragons Secret Land is a place of vital importance to the royal family of Middle-Earth. Naturally, it is very difficult to obtain this qualification.

This requires not only outstanding talent, but also some special conditions.

Except for Gu Chen, who was granted an exception for the Emperor's Encouragement Banquet, the other four people present were all well-known.

Huangfu Qingming is a member of Zhuzi Banquet. As the proud son of Kyushu and the consort of the future royal family, he is naturally qualified to have a seat.

When Gu Chen arrived, Huangfu Qingming was already sitting there, pouring himself a drink, his green bull lying lazily on the ground.

Apart from that, Gu Chen didn't know the other three people. The only one who was more familiar was the sickly scholar who had followed behind the Prophet of the Ming family.

Seeing Gu Chen's arrival, the three of them couldn't help but give him an extra look, and the sickly scholar greeted him with a smile.

As for Huangfu Qingming, he didn't even raise his head, as if he wasn't in his eyes!

Gu Chen and the scholar nodded, and sat down beside him.

"Brother Chen, Jiang Yu from the Jiang Family, nice to meet you."

The weak scholar introduced himself on his own initiative.

"Chen Gu."

Gu Chen's temper was indifferent, and he answered concisely.

Jiang Yu didn't care either, and spoke calmly.

Four of the five people in the room are reticent, only Jiang Yu is smiling, chatting a few words with this one and that one from time to time.

Others did not dare to neglect Jiang Yu, even Huangfu Qingming would answer his questions.

This person is the great-great-grandson of the prophet of the Jiang family. It is said that he has inherited the astrology and fate handed down from generation to generation of the Jiang family. Although he is young, his achievements in fate are not inferior to those famous fortune-tellers.

It's worth mentioning that the Jiang family's astrology game is one of the seven super-first-class qualities known in the Kunlun Continent. It ranks the same as Gu Chen's Celestial Bagu, but the field of study is different.

And Huangfu Qingming on the opposite side is an innate Taoist physique, and also has a super first-class physique!

There are five people at a table, including the unknown Gu Chen, who has three super qualities.

This kind of situation is only possible at the feast of the princes of the Middle Earth Empire.

The banquet started, and the table was full of delicacies, but the five of them didn't move their chopsticks very much.

Only the white ape jumped off Gu Chen's shoulder, looked at the pile of delicious food, and was not polite, grabbed the chopsticks and put the food in his mouth, looking very happy.

This scene caught the attention of the other four people, and there was a trace of disdain in Huangfu Qingming's eyes.

"Brother Chen, I heard that this white ape has a great background, not only has supernatural powers, but also makes the Nanling monsters look at it differently. I wonder what bloodline it is?"

Jiang Yu asked curiously.

"It's just a monkey picked up by chance from the mountains. It's very greedy. I don't know."

Gu Chen said casually.

"Squeak!"

When the white ape heard this, he immediately protested a few times, but with the food stuffed in his mouth, he couldn't even make a sound.

"Oh? In this way, Brother Chen is considered an adventure. How can ordinary people have the opportunity to obtain such a spiritual beast with extraordinary aptitude."

Jiang Yu looked at Huangfu Qingming with emotion, "Brother Chen and Brother Huangfu are indeed outstanding people. Not only did the two of you attract the phenomena of heaven and earth when you broke through, but your luck is also prosperous."

"Brother Huangfu went to Donghuang not long ago, and heard that there was also a strange beast that took the initiative to recognize you as the master. It must be this green bull, right?"

Jiang Yu's words made the other two guests look envious, not to mention that they are really like this, both of them are geniuses who can cause visions of heaven and earth, and the two spirit beasts following them are also very extraordinary.

Hearing this, Huangfu Qingming frowned slightly, as if being compared with Gu Chen made him a little displeased.

"Different spirit beasts are very different."

he sneered.

"Oh? According to Brother Huangfu, is there something extraordinary about your green cow?"

Jiang Yu became interested.

"That's natural. Ordinary monsters usually can't even control their own appetites, and their intelligence is low, but this green bull has lived for endless years, and has long since broken away from the level of ordinary monsters."

His words were obviously mocking the white ape's gluttony, upon hearing that, the white ape picked up the empty plate and threw it at his face!

Huangfu Qingming's expression changed, he didn't expect this monkey to dare to be so rude to him!

"court death!"

His eyes turned cold, and the dish came in front of him, and was directly smashed into powder by the invisible force!

He wanted to teach Bai Yuan a lesson, but at this time Gu Chen spoke flatly.

"I'm sorry, son of the Huangfu family. My monkey has a bad temper. I have been with cats and dogs for a long time on weekdays. I always like to fight with them. I have formed a habit. Don't take it to heart."

He seemed to be trying to persuade a fight, but Huangfu Qingming was furious when he heard it.

Taking care of Chen meant that he would lose his grace if he fought with this monkey, but if he didn't fight, he would be a cat and a dog!

Huangfu Qingming couldn't help but look very gloomy. At this moment, the Qingniu lying behind him was finally startled, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Where did the bastard come from, dare to be so presumptuous to my master?"

It has a pair of dark red pupils, wise and vicissitudes.

"You! You! You! Why are you here?"

Qingniu saw the appearance of the white ape clearly, and was startled suddenly, the original turbulent momentum was subdued to nothing!
