Chapter 510: Li Chen

Venerable Hidden Moon, by offering a gift, successfully obtained a "friend slot" from Li Chen, managing to become a familiar face in front of him.

As for many other matters, they would have to be discussed after returning to the Imperial Capital.

There were too many people here, and it was not convenient for Venerable Hidden Moon to speak.

Meanwhile, in a mysterious location, a group of individuals with strange auras were currently holding a discussion.

"Damn it, Mo Lisi was not in the diplomatic mission; this time the plan failed."

"Could someone have leaked our plan to attack? We originally thought it was foolproof."

As they spoke, the people around were sizing each other up.

One person suddenly spoke up: "Stop looking at each other. There are too many people who want to attack; it's likely those people made a mistake, were detected by the Tian Ce people, and the old guy from the Witchcraft Holy Land took Mo Lisi away."

This explanation was very reasonable. Now they were trying to determine the route Mo Lisi was taking to enter the Imperial Capital.

If they could find it, perhaps they could launch another attack; this time, it must succeed.

However, they should feel fortunate that they hadn't found Mo Lisi's route.

Because Mo Lisi currently had four Sage Realm experts by his side; that would be a suicide mission for anyone.

On the train back to the Imperial Capital, since Li Chen had already obtained three Immortal Tokens, he couldn't be bothered to go to the Sumeru Lingxiao Pavilion in the north.

The Sumeru Lingxiao Pavilion had also missed an opportunity to cling to a powerful figure.

They probably hadn't expected Venerable Hidden Moon to intercept the opportunity in this place.

Returning to the Imperial Capital, just as Li Chen stepped into the palace gate, Eunuch Cui hurried up to greet him: "Your Majesty, where have you been! Many matters have been waiting for your decision recently!"

Li Chen waved his hand: "Are you talking about the Mo Lisi matter?"

Eunuch Cui's eyes widened in surprise: "How did Your Majesty know? This old servant was just about to report it!"

"I ran into Mo Lisi while taking the train back." Li Chen walked toward the Imperial Study while asking, "Tell me, what is going on?"

Eunuch Cui trotted to keep up, his speech rapid: "The Eternal Day Empire sent a diplomatic mission, saying they want to discuss the Holy See's northward missionary work. Chancellor Zhao and the Minister of Rites couldn't make up their minds and have been waiting for your return."

In fact, Eternal Day had already sent people several times, but Li Chen was not in the Imperial Capital; this was Tian Ce's answer.

Charles might have thought Li Chen was intentionally saying he was away to avoid this matter.

But now Mo Lisi could prove that Li Chen was indeed not in the Imperial Capital, as he had returned with Li Chen.

Li Chen's footsteps paused: "The Holy See's northward missionary work?" He sneered, "Charles certainly has a clever plan."

Inside the Imperial Study, the mountain of memorials had already been sorted and organized. Li Chen casually picked up the one on top; it was Zhao Wenyuan's personal handwriting:

"Your Majesty, please be informed: the Eternal Day mission's attitude is strange, appearing to have the intent to stir up trouble. Your subject observes their words and actions; I fear this is not Charles's original intent, but rather the Holy See pushing from behind."

Li Chen put down the memorial and rubbed his temples.

It seemed that kid Charles was also being pressured hard by the Holy See; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent his own uncle to discuss such a matter.

Li Chen suddenly spoke: "Eunuch Cui, prepare a welcome ceremony according to national protocol. Since Prince Mo Lisi has come, the proper display must not be lacking."

He was, after all, the official second-in-command of the Eternal Day Empire; this was a matter of etiquette.

"This old servant will go handle it at once!" Eunuch Cui bowed and withdrew.

That afternoon, outside the Zhengyang Gate of the Imperial Capital.

Mo Lisi had changed back into his Eternal Day Empire prince's ceremonial robes and, led by officials from the Ministry of Rites, officially entered the city with the diplomatic mission.

The royal honor guard lined both sides, drums and music played in unison, and the commoners crowded the streets, vying to catch a glimpse of this foreign prince's demeanor.

Unlike his coldness in the small country, Mo Lisi was all smiles at this moment, waving to the onlookers from time to time.

Seeing a child hand him flowers, he even specifically stopped the carriage to personally take the flowers and pin them to his chest.

"His Highness the Prince is truly approachable!" the watching commoners praised him one after another.

"I heard that people from the Eternal Day Empire are all arrogant; it seems that is not entirely true."

Listening to these discussions, the smile at the corners of Mo Lisi's mouth deepened. ===== CHAPTER 511 =====
