C242 summoning

Qin Shaojie had never thought that Elder Ye would actually have a secret key in his hands. Furthermore, he had been hiding it for so many years but no one had discovered it.

However, it made sense when he thought about it. Elder Ye had the right to participate in the chaotic battle twenty years ago, and according to what Elder Ye said, almost all of the Earth Origin Stage Realm warriors were there.

However, Elder Ye was unwilling to bring up the matter regarding twenty years ago. Using Elder Ye's words, in the end, the current Qin Shaojie was still too weak.

It was just that he was quite interested in this so called Ancient Ruins, which was the trial grounds for the younger generation of the three major sects. Although the current Qin Shaojie was considered quite a formidable existence among his peers in the Great Yan Dynasty, it was just as Elder Ye said, it was because the Great Yan Dynasty was too young.

That was why Qin Shaojie did not reject the secret key. Right now, he really needed to quickly raise his strength and cultivation realm, otherwise, he would not even be able to handle Chen Yuner's matter.

On the third day after Elder Ye left the Lingyun City to retrieve the key that he had hidden away, news came from the Imperial Family that had not made any movements until now. The Emperor summoning Qin Shaojie to the palace, was not surprised at all by this result.

He had saved the old emperor's life. It was a natural thing to announce him to the palace when things had stabilized.

It was just that before Qin Shaojie prepared to attack, Wen Ya told him to be careful. Although Qin Shaojie did not ask about the affairs of the outside world, Wen Ya was extremely careful with his methods. It seemed as if Qin Shaojie had rendered a great service, but that did not necessarily mean he could change His Majesty's mind. The most important thing was that Wen Ya did not hear any movements from the Emperor whose body was gradually recovering, as though his severe unconsciousness had never happened before. It made people feel that it was extremely strange, but right at this moment, entered the palace.

Qin Shaojie was a smart person in the first place, so when he heard Wen Ya's words, he had already guessed that Wen Ya was worrying a little. Not to mention if the Emperor really wanted to persecute him, even if she did, he wouldn't necessarily be able to do anything to him.

Although the palace was filled with danger, it was not as if Qin Shaojie didn't have any methods or the confidence to escape.

If he really forced himself into a corner, he wouldn't mind making this old man suffer. After all, if he treated himself as one of those sixteen to seventeen years old youths, it could only be said that the Emperor was too naive.

Therefore, at this time, Qin Shaojie hoped that the old man wouldn't be confused, provoking him wouldn't end up as a joke.

Even though it was the first time Qin Shaojie had entered the Imperial Palace in broad daylight, he was not unfamiliar with it. However, when Qin Shaojie entered, he realized that the palace was much stricter than the guards before. The surrounding experts continuously patrolled the place, and the powerful auras that occasionally swept over Qin Shaojie's body, all of them were at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.

The most important thing was that Qin Shaojie could clearly feel some auras that seemed to be hidden in the darkness that were quietly being investigated. These auras that he could not sense should be at the Earth Origin Stage level, right?

Since the last time, when Qin Mai and Qin Zhu brought along a large number of Earth Origin Stage experts, the imperial power had increased by quite a bit as well. At that time, there were already eleven Earthly Yuan Stage expert present, and this number had already greatly exceeded the number of Earthly Yuan Stage expert experts on the surface of Holy Flame Academy. Most importantly, he had heard from Qin Mai that there was a special expert that had been secretly trained by the Emperor. After all, even Qin Mi and Qin Zhu had their own Earthly Yuan Stage expert as tribute, so what about the Emperor himself?

If that was the case, then the current dynasty's strength was much more tyrannical than the Holy Flame Academy. If Zhou Tian were to know of the current dynasty's strength, how would he react, and learning the principle of going against the flow and retreating, it would not be wrong for the Holy Flame Academy to use it on him. All these years, it seemed as if Holy Flame Academy was steadily replenishing his energy, but in reality, he had unknowingly fallen behind by quite a bit.

It was fortunate that the people who were leading the way seemed to be intelligent people, otherwise, they would not be able to live for so long in the imperial palace. They would have to help Qin Shaojie introduce a few imperial palaces along the way, and even provide Qin Shaojie with some secret information that was not too painful or itchy. It was obvious that a person that the Emperor could summon in person was not simple.

Furthermore, this was the first person that the emperor had summoned upon his return. From this, it could be seen how important Qin Shaojie was in his heart.

On the contrary, he was still resting while using the excuse of recuperating from his injuries. Even the crown prince, Qin Zhu, was still in charge of managing the imperial court, and nothing seemed to have changed at all, if there were any changes, it was because the eunuch who was leading the way, had mentioned that the current frequency of Qin entering and exiting the palace of the emperor was much higher than in the past.

Regarding this, Qin Shaojie also frowned slightly. He had seen the Emperor before, he did not look happy, nor did he smile. However, the Emperor's Qi on his body was exceptionally dense. His calm eyes were sufficient to prove that he had an extraordinary experience.

What happened last time had almost taken his life, so it was impossible for him to not make a move. He was probably waiting for an opportunity or afraid of something.

But no matter what, from Qin Shaojie's point of view, they shouldn't target him. Otherwise, let alone a small empire, even a sect might not be able to withstand his retaliation.

The deeper they went, the more Qin Shaojie noticed that they were not heading towards the main hall, and at the same time, the eunuch who was leading them realized that the emperor did not go to the main hall, but instead stayed in his own place to recuperate, so this time, they were going to the main palace of the emperor.

The closer he got to the palace, the more Qin Shaojie felt as if countless auras were sweeping past his body. These auras were basically checking every five steps and probing every ten steps at a time.

Fortunately, when he appeared inside the Dragon Palace, the aura had completely disappeared as well. Appearing in front of Qin Shaojie was a building that seemed to be constructed like a magnificent palace, a beautiful sculpture, an extravagant house, luxurious decorations, and even ten pieces of golden metal. Walking on the top of the building, it did not lack the dignity of an emperor.

Back then, when he was in Qin Lie's residence, Qin Shaojie had known that the imperial family had accumulated a large amount of wealth over the years. However, Qin Lie's residence was still far inferior to the emperor's residence. Looking around, everything revealed the unique aura this place possessed.

There were many maids and eunuchs walking around the palace, but they had all undergone special training and did not whisper to each other. When Qin Shaojie appeared in front of them, all of them lowered their heads, looking extremely respectful.

His appearance was like a walking corpse. Even the eunuch who had led him in before had completely withdrawn his aura, and even his breathing had become extremely soft, afraid that the excessive noise would cause some people to feel uncomfortable. Most importantly, even his eyes had lost their luster.

These people were well aware of the logic of accompanying a tiger like companion. If he showed any signs of being overly quick-witted, it might cause the emperor to become suspicious. Therefore, there was no need to be smart in front of the emperor. The more obedient he was, the safer he would be.

After all, no matter when, it was the safest place to be without knowing or seeing anything, and without any threat to oneself.

The palace was very large, and after going in for a long time, the little eunuch at the entrance of a courtyard stopped his footsteps, and even quietly turned and left without saying a single word to Qin Shaojie.

The information he received only brought Qin Shaojie to this place. As for the other things he did not know, there was no need for him to know.

"Young master, please come with me."

Qin Shaojie did not have to wait for too long, after that an elder walked out from the courtyard and spoke to Qin Shaojie politely, and then led Qin Shaojie into the courtyard.

Qin Shaojie forcefully suppressed the impatience in his heart as he continued to meditate. As he followed the old man, he noticed that the courtyard was truly special.

There were no longer any restrictions on space, no longer any restrictions on seasons, and no longer any restrictions on time. It was quite a shocking and surprising for anyone to be able to walk into this place.

Perhaps only the emperor of the imperial family of Great Yan Dynasty would have such spirit, qualifications and ability to do such a thing.

Xiao Yan followed a quiet lotus pond. At the end of the lotus pond, there was an extremely beautifully decorated courtyard. There, two figures could be vaguely seen. One was sitting upright while the other was standing upright.

"The Son of Heaven is waiting there for Young Master Jie. After you."

The old man did not take another step forward, he pointed to the courtyard and spoke to Qin Shaojie slowly.
