Kong Mingliang flew up into the sky, yet he still flew up in such a large area. This attracted the attention of many, and the citizens began to discuss this amongst themselves.

God, so many bright lights. It's so beautiful. What's written on it?

To be able to light a lantern that was out of season with so many people showing it, could this be some sort of signal?

Beautiful, blue lamp, not seen for a long time!

The commoners began to discuss amongst themselves. The great clans and even the imperial family noticed this, and began to make all sorts of guesses.

Was it some kind of conspiracy?

Is something big going to happen? Blue lanterns, all for my attention.

Go, look at who those lanterns are.

With each word they exchanged, the higher ups were all worried, afraid that there would be some uncontrollable loss of life, and Lu Chen did not even know any of this.

As the young master of the General Lu Palace, he was in the midst of his own plans to search for the various articles recorded in the travel records related to topography.

He had been immersed in this matter for a long time. He lit the lamp to boil the oil, and even when it was dark, he did not stop.

One had to know that Lu Chen had been paying attention to his health recently. He would sleep when it was time, and would never stay up late to read books, much less do what he did.

But today, Lu Chen was extremely serious, more so than ever before. This made many of the servants within the General Mansion begin to guess.

Was the young master going to be like an ordinary person and take the Imperial examinations? Otherwise, for a person who never reads a book, it would feel weird!

All the servants were guessing what he was thinking, and there were all kinds of scenarios.

Lu Chen did not know anything about this. He was engrossed in reading and would even mutter when he saw the interesting parts. He would draw in the air from time to time with a frown, as if he was deep in thought. It was obvious that he had thought of something.

In the midst of his seriousness, Lu Chen simply did not have the time or opportunity to see the situation outside. However, the servants and other masters in the General Lu Palace had all seen it.

The blue lamp slowly rose into the air. It was beautiful in color, and the blessings written on it could be clearly seen in the eyes of cultivators. The content was filled with good wishes.

Those who saw this did not understand what was going on. They immediately put on the blue lights, but upon seeing the blessings on them, they all silently prayed in their hearts.

It read: "Wishing for the country to prosper, to prosper!"

These few words were densely packed throughout the entire room. Not only was there a single lamp doing this, all of the lamps had the same line on it.

With such blessings, the people would definitely follow and pray. No one liked war and chaos, and no one liked death.

There was nothing wrong with this kind of blessing. Even blue represented the color of peace. This was a custom unique to Chen Xing Kingdom.

When the people in Lu Chen's courtyard saw these lamps, they also started to discuss and pray.

Oh, may the country prosper, and I hope there will never be a war!

That's right, it's best if there is no war. That is a happy life, so we don't have to worry about the threat of death.

Sigh … I really hope my wish is true, but who can use blue lanterns so big, you know blue paper is very expensive!

The chattering sounds of the discussion continued to echo in the courtyard, and the discussions continued to get louder and louder, as though the discussion was getting more and more intense. Lu Chen was not an idiot, how could he not hear such a loud voice.

After being disturbed, Lu Chen frowned, he looked angrily at the people in the courtyard, and at the same time noticed their words.

Blue lanterns? Blue...

Hearing that, Lu Chen immediately started muttering, all kinds of guesses spinning in his mind, at the same time he rushed out of the study room.

Raising his head, he saw a blue light just as it was rising into the air.

Lu Chen:...

Listening to the discussion of the servants around him, the thoughts in Lu Chen's mind was completely different from the people who could only see the blessings on Kong Mingliang's face and keep praising him.

He thought about it more. He remembered his promise with the Second Prince, once he settled the matter of the Imperial Authority being bestowed upon him, he would hang the blue lantern at his door.

He didn't have the blue lantern on before he was ready to settle the divine edict.

Today, when he saw so many blue light dots rise into the air, he couldn't help but think of something. Haven't you thought of the Imperial Power, the Heaven's Mandate? He didn't know the exact location yet.

Since the Imperial Authority didn't want cultivators to help it, it could only rely on its natural geographical environment. It should have a thorough understanding of the various hydrology and topography.

Lu Chen was currently in the midst of understanding the situation, so he was not really aware of it. At this time, the fact that the Second Prince was looking for him made him very anxious.

He was so agitated that he wanted to slap himself to death. Why did he have this idea in mind back then?

Anxious, Lu Chen wanted to flip back to the words he did not mention that day. He realized that even if it was only the Second Prince who had the power of Pill, who could turn the entire city upside down, it was not certain who could win.

However, it was too late for him to say anything now. He could only pucker his lips and frown as he anxiously tried to figure out how he could get past this matter.

After taking in a deep breath, Lu Chen's heart started to feel heavy as he started to think about everything. However, since he saw the blue lantern, he had no choice but to go to the ruined temple.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Chen's heart became heavy, and he decided to talk about it tomorrow. He was going to stay up late today!

Lu Chen who only wanted to stay alive: His heart was filled with endless grievance and discomfort.

Lu Chen's face was extremely unsightly, he frowned, and started to read the book with a worried look, with a look on his face that looked as though he was suffering from a great grievance, causing the servants by the side to guess, one after another, that Lu Chen was in pain from not being able to read any of the books.

Regarding the matter of reading, some people were good, some people were not good, some people were miserable and some people were relaxed. Lu Chen's performance made the servants look at him with sympathy.

Almost at the same time, they were sure that their young master couldn't read!

With that thought in mind, they looked at each other and tacitly left the study room. Lu Chen did not know about any of this.

Right now, he was on the verge of breaking even, wishing that he could finish reading all of the travel notes that the Cai Cai had found.

At least, when Second Prince asks me, I can answer it! After saying that, Lu Chen once again fell into the sea of books.

He was very glad that he got the photographic memory skill from the system. Otherwise, with so many books, he might not have finished reading them all tonight.

With good luck from remembering, Lu Chen finally finished reading the book in the early morning. At the same time, he gained a new understanding of the topography of the entire Chen Xing Kingdom.
