Chapter 234: What Do You Call a Grand Entrance?

When they arrived at the Teleportation Array, He Luyun was already standing there, but her expression was darker than ever before.

Upon seeing Jiang Xun, she even had a look as if she wanted to eat him alive.

Gufang Ninglin was also so frightened she didn't dare walk forward, hurriedly hiding behind Jiang Xun.

"Ma... Master, what is going on?" Jiang Xun asked upon seeing this.

"Listen for yourself," He Luyun said, gesturing to the surroundings.

Hearing this, Jiang Xun used his Spirit Power to listen to the chatter around them.

A chaotic mess of many people were discussing him and the Island Master.

Some even said the Island Master had raped Tian Zeyan.

Others said Tian Zeyan and Tang Zhirou had been having an affair for a long time, and that Ling Shangtian had been cuckolded by Tian Zeyan!

Jiang Xun was stunned.

What on earth is all this?

I just slept in the Island Master's courtyard, that's all! Where did all this nonsense come from?

"Everyone, stop spreading this damn nonsense! Which bastard started these rumors! If you have the guts, get out here!" Jiang Xun, not one to tolerate this, immediately shouted at the top of his lungs using his Spirit Power.

Half of Tianwai Island could hear Jiang Xun's voice.

The surroundings immediately went quiet.

Seeing no one step forward to admit it, Jiang Xun looked around and said, "Listen well, if anyone dares to spread this crap again, I will make sure you learn why the sky is blue when I get back."

"Master, Ninglin, let's go," Jiang Xun said, then pulled Gufang Ninglin toward the Teleportation Array.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan immediately dropped down from the sky to stand beside Jiang Xun, secretly glaring at him, and transmitted her voice: "Forgot about me again, didn't you?"

"Sorry, I was too busy yelling at people," Jiang Xun replied helplessly.

Seeing Jiang Yan, Jiang Xun remembered the protector sent by the Tianyu Dynasty... but whatever, she could pay for herself.

He Luyun looked at Jiang Xun, feeling somewhat satisfied with his performance just now, then stepped onto the Teleportation Array; Jiang Xun tossed a large bag of Spirit Stones to the guards, paying for everyone's fare: "Tianling City."

"Alrighty," the guard nodded after checking that the Spirit Stones were fine, then activated the Teleportation Array.

Light flickered, and the four of them vanished into the array.

After Jiang Xun and the others left, a woman descended from the sky wearing a black dress and long boots, with three short daggers strapped to each side of her waist, golden long hair, and a pure white mask.

She also stepped onto the array and was then teleported to Tianling City.

————

At the Tianling City Teleportation Array, after the light flickered, Jiang Xun and the others appeared.

"This..." Jiang Xun had just opened his eyes, and the scene before him left him bewildered.

He saw two rows of soldiers in black-gold armor standing neatly on both sides of the street, holding long halberds; a red carpet was laid out between the soldiers, connecting to the Teleportation Array, and the end of the red carpet led to the front of the Imperial Palace.

Behind the armored soldiers stood two more rows of lightly armored soldiers, holding the flags of the Tianyu Dynasty.

"Welcome, Tenth Prince!"

Someone shouted loudly.

"Welcome, Tenth Prince!"

All the armored soldiers shouted in unison, their momentum magnificent and deafening.

"Oh my god..." Gufang Ninglin looked at the scene before her, completely stunned.

"Your Highness, the Holy Emperor is already waiting for you, please follow this old servant into the palace."

A white-haired old man holding a cane walked toward Jiang Xun, his back hunched; this image...

Reminded Jiang Xun of that unbearable version of himself.

"Lead the way," Jiang Xun suppressed the shock in his heart, stepped off the Teleportation Array, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes," the old man nodded and led the way in front.

Although he looked advanced in years, he walked without the slightest hesitation; when he reached the street, he waved his hand, and a luxurious carriage pulled by two Spiritual Beasts approached from not far away, stopping in front of Jiang Xun and the others.

"Your Highness, please board," the old man stepped aside and said respectfully.

Jiang Xun nodded, first helping He Luyun into the carriage, then directly picking up Gufang Ninglin and putting her inside.

"I'm heading back," Jiang Yan said, glancing at the sky.

"Come with us," Jiang Xun shook his head and reached out his hand.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan didn't say much more and walked onto the carriage with Jiang Xun's support.

Jiang Xun boarded last, sat beside Gufang Ninglin, and the carriage headed toward the Imperial City.

After Jiang Xun left, the Teleportation Array flashed with bright light again, and then the masked woman appeared in the array.

"Welcome, National Master!"

One of the armored soldiers facing the array was startled when he saw the person on the array, then hurriedly knelt and shouted.

"Welcome, National Master!"

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers followed suit, kneeling on one knee and shouting in unison.

Hearing the commotion outside, Jiang Xun lifted the carriage curtain to look at the Teleportation Array, and the white-masked woman happened to lock eyes with him.

After the two stared at each other for a long time, the white-masked woman looked away: "Rise."

"Thank you, National Master!"

The soldiers replied in unison, then stood up in perfect synchronization.

"Someone has an even grander entrance than you," He Luyun had also seen the white-masked woman.

"Just my protector," Jiang Xun laughed; arriving one after the other, Jiang Xun naturally guessed she was the protector sent by the Tianyu Holy Emperor.

"Protector? Then who is she?" He Luyun asked, looking at Jiang Yan.

"My ex-wife," Jiang Xun reached out and took Jiang Yan's hand, smiling.

"You!" Jiang Yan shook off Jiang Xun's hand and glared at him fiercely.

"I'm joking, we are friends," Jiang Xun laughed.

"..." He Luyun fell silent upon hearing this and said nothing more.

To put it bluntly, aren't they just two protectors of the Integration Realm? It seems Tian Zeyan really is the successor of the Tianyu Dynasty, even the National Master is his protector...

"Why is the National Master here?" The old man from before hurried over to the National Master, who had just stepped off the magic array.

"I am now the protector of the Tenth Prince," the National Master said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the old man also looked in surprise at the carriage heading toward the Imperial City.

The status of this National Master in the Tianyu Dynasty is second only to the Tianyu Holy Emperor; all the princes were raised by the National Master, and they must be respectful whenever they see the National Master.

Yet now, the National Master has become the protector of the Tenth Prince.

It seems the Holy Emperor is determined to have the Tenth Prince inherit the great cause!

"Where is the Holy Emperor?" the National Master asked next.

"People from the He Yu Dynasty came to propose marriage early this morning, and the Holy Emperor and they are currently waiting for the Tenth Prince and the others in the Imperial Garden," the old man replied with a bow.

"Understood." The National Master nodded, then vanished before the old man.

In the carriage...

"My Imperial Father and the others should have arrived by now; you should prepare yourself mentally."

He Luyun said abruptly.

"What!? Your Imperial Father?" Jiang Xun's eyes widened upon hearing this.

"Mm, Holy Emperor He Yu came personally to propose marriage; you have quite a lot of face, don't you?" He Luyun nodded.

"Isn't that a bit too much?" Jiang Xun said, covering his face: "Can the Holy Emperor just leave the Imperial City whenever he wants?"

"For you, it doesn't count as 'whenever'," He Luyun shook her head and said.

Jiang Xun felt even more nervous; he was already nervous about meeting the Tianyu Holy Emperor today, and now he had to meet Holy Emperor He Yu as well—his little heart was about to jump out.

I am only at the Peak Mid-Stage God-Transformation, what virtue or ability do I have to deserve this!
