Chapter 1247: The Excessive Demands of Rockefeller Country!

Compared to Luocheng, Ancheng has a far greater number of buildings in the classical Huaxia style.

Even more Huaxia than the buildings within the Federation!

Seeing these buildings, Su Yang felt a wave of warmth and familiarity.

"Aren't the buildings in our Ancheng beautiful?"

"They really are!"

"I've been to Du Bang Country — their buildings have no character at all!"

"Were these built after the Great Catastrophe?"

"Of course they were!" Tang Yue had more or less figured out Su Yang's tastes by now, and she introduced seriously, "Back then, fierce beasts roamed everywhere, and every time they'd destroy a good number of buildings. Our Tang Country's founding Laozu Sect, Tang Haoran, had a Huaxia architect oversee the construction work. He said he wanted the classical Huaxia style, so after it was passed down, all of Ancheng ended up like this."

"Mm!"

"Actually, after the Great Catastrophe, many of the Huaxia people who were forced to stay on this continent wanted to return to the Huaxia Federation." Tang Yue said softly, "But they waited until they died, and never saw that day… I heard that our Laozu Sect, on his deathbed, was still muttering about wanting to go back, reminding his children that if one day they could return, they should bury his ashes in the Tang family ancestral grounds."

"I understand!" Su Yang looked at Tang Yue, and couldn't help asking, "Then do you want to go back?"

"Well…" Tang Yue gave an awkward little laugh. "I don't really have that kind of thought, just some curiosity. If I had the chance, I'd like to go back and take a look."

Su Yang liked Tang Yue's candor.

Three hundred years, generation after generation — even the deepest feelings would fade.

"Let's go to the Three Sovereigns Temple!"

In front of the Three Sovereigns Temple, Su Yang bought a few sticks of incense and paid respects to the Three Sovereigns of Huaxia.

Sovereign Jiazi solemnly imitated him and followed along.

Then Su Yang followed Tang Yue into the Confucius Academy.

The Confucius Academy had now become a primary school — some of the children in Ancheng aged seven to thirteen attended classes here.

They didn't teach the Four Books and Five Classics; it was bilingual instruction. History covered the Huaxia Federation's history from three hundred years ago, as well as the major historical events that had taken place on the Beautiful Continent.

Two languages, two histories — these poor kids have it rough!

Luckily, the history of the Beautiful Continent isn't all that long…

But who asked for this? It was the decree of the Tang Country Emperor!

The common folk of Ancheng lived slightly worse than the common folk of Huaxia — their clothes were a bit ragged, full of patches — but their health was alright. Though somewhat thin and frail, they could just barely get by.

On this continent, this state of affairs should be above average.

Not bad!

After touring the two sights, the sky was already nearly dark.

"Take me to meet your Emperor!" Su Yang said with a low laugh. "He should be your great-grandfather, right?"

Hearing Su Yang's words, Tang Yue was overjoyed.

"Yes, my great-grandfather!" she said hurriedly, "I'll take you to him right now!"

As if afraid Su Yang would run off.

What Tang Yue's purpose was, Su Yang knew perfectly well.

But he didn't mind.

There were plenty of people who wanted his help, who wanted to ask him for favors.

If he disliked every single one of them, there probably wouldn't be many people in the world he'd like.

When Su Yang saw the imperial palace's red walls and glazed tiles, he couldn't help wanting to laugh.

Was the founding Emperor of Tang Country trying to copy the Forbidden City?

Just looking at the main gate, you could tell the layout was definitely a bit cramped!

After three hundred years, the Tang imperial clan must number quite a few.

The common folk might live very hard lives, but they absolutely lived quite well.

But the two Gold-tier Beast Tamers guarding the palace gate, upon seeing Tang Yue, immediately took the initiative to greet her.

"Princess Tang!"

Princess?

Su Yang couldn't help glancing at Tang Yue again.

That form of address — quite retro.

But it could also be seen that Tang Yue's status within the imperial clan was probably fairly high.

"General Su, what's wrong?"

"Nothing!"

Only then did Su Yang come back to his senses.

He might feel the title "Princess" was a bit odd, but here in Tang Country, they were probably already used to it.

"Is Your Majesty in?"

"He should be!"

"Then perfect, I'm going to see him!"
