Chapter 235: The Tianyu Holy Emperor and the He Yu Holy Emperor

"Even the soldiers welcoming us are all Nascent Soul... Is Tian Zeyan's status in the Tianyu Dynasty really that high?"

Gufang Ninglin stared blankly outside the carriage, watching the prosperity of Tianling City on one side and the imposing soldiers on the other, her heart filled with infinite emotion.

So, this is what a dynasty is called.

It seems it wasn't wrong to say her own home wasn't even as good as a noble family...

"Tian Zeyan is about to marry Master; am I really suited to be here..."

"No, I should say, even if Tian Zeyan went, he couldn't solve the dynasty's affairs; it would only add to his troubles. But he wouldn't listen to me at all and insisted on going. Sigh... it's really not worth it for me." Gufang Ninglin thought as she looked at Jiang Xun.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xun couldn't help but ask upon seeing Gufang Ninglin like this.

"No, nothing." Gufang Ninglin shook her head and shifted her gaze away.

The carriage moved very quickly, stopping after about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

"Your Highness, please disembark."

The old man's voice came from outside the carriage.

Jiang Xun nodded, lifted the curtain, and stepped out of the carriage: "You run quite fast."

"Your Highness is too kind." The old man apologized with a smile while stepping back two paces to leave space for Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun jumped off the carriage, then helped He Luyun down, and looked at the old man: "Find a place to settle the two people in the carriage for me, make it comfortable."

"Yes." The old man bowed his head, then gestured to the left: "Your Highness, the Holy Emperor is waiting for you inside."

"Mm." Jiang Xun nodded, then looked at He Luyun: "Let's go, Master."

"Mm." He Luyun nodded: "You go first."

Jiang Xun curled his lip upon hearing this. Logically, a disciple should follow behind their master, but since this is the territory of the Tianyu Dynasty, He Luyun still had to be a rank lower than Jiang Xun and had to follow behind him.

Jiang Xun had no choice but to walk forward, while He Luyun followed half a step behind him.

Before them was a massive lake with a stone bridge in the middle; crossing the bridge, there was a water pavilion about a hundred meters long in the center of the lake...

It was called a pavilion, but its size was much larger than an average house.

The lake water was clear enough to see the bottom, and one could see many different kinds of fish in the lake. After walking across the arched bridge, the full view of the pavilion appeared before the two.

In the center of the pavilion were two large golden chairs, and two middle-aged men were sitting on them, chatting and laughing.

On both sides were dozens of Maids, some fanning them, others pouring tea, while directly in front, dancing girls were dancing gracefully to the music.

Further ahead, on the opposite shore of the lake, stood two rows of soldiers clad in red armor. In front of them were many large red chests, and behind those were several chests made of pure gold.

Judging by their attire, the flags, and the pile of chests in front of them, this must be the marriage proposal delegation from the He Yu Dynasty...

"Hoo..."

Seeing the backs of the two Holy Emperors, Jiang Xun couldn't help but stop and take a deep breath before exhaling.

"Are you that nervous to see your Imperial Father?"

He Luyun also stopped and looked at Jiang Xun.

"Nervous to see your Imperial Father." Jiang Xun shook his head and said.

"There's nothing to be nervous about; you are the hosts, and we are the guests," He Luyun said.

"Master, give me a smile; maybe I'll feel better if you smile," Jiang Xun said, looking back at He Luyun.

"..." He Luyun struggled for a moment, then reluctantly tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing an awkward smile: "... I'm really not used to it."

"Zeyan, what are you standing there for? Come over here quickly!"

Just as Jiang Xun was about to say something, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice. Looking up, he saw a man in black and gold robes, with a dignified appearance, wearing a gold hairpin, and sporting a five-centimeter-long black beard, calling out to him.

He must be the Tianyu Holy Emperor.

"Imperial Father, coming right away!"

Jiang Xun hurriedly responded and then walked quickly toward the Tianyu Holy Emperor.

He Luyun also followed immediately.

Jiang Xun arrived before the Tianyu Holy Emperor; the dancing girls scattered, the music stopped, and Jiang Xun knelt directly: "Your son pays respects to Imperial Father, and greets the He Yu Holy Emperor."

"He Luyun pays respects to Imperial Father, and greets the Tianyu Holy Emperor." He Luyun also knelt beside Jiang Xun to pay her respects.

"Good, good, good, get up quickly." The Tianyu Holy Emperor smiled and waved his hand: "Grant them seats."

"Thank you, Imperial Father (Thank you, Holy Emperor)." The two answered simultaneously, then rose and took their seats, sitting face-to-face below the Tianyu Holy Emperor's left and the He Yu Holy Emperor's right, respectively.

Jiang Xun took a quick look at the He Yu Holy Emperor; he was a middle-aged man in red and black robes, looking kind, though the smile on his face was not very natural, appearing as if it were forced out.

Now Jiang Xun finally understood why He Luyun was expressionless; it turned out to be hereditary.

"What a talented man and a beautiful woman, hahaha." The Tianyu Holy Emperor looked at Jiang Xun and He Luyun with satisfaction and smiled.

"Your son has quite the demeanor you had in your youth; truly, a tiger father has no dog for a son," the He Yu Holy Emperor said, looking at the Tianyu Holy Emperor with a smile.

It was a pity the flattery was misdirected; he had no idea that Tian Zeyan was not the biological son of the Tianyu Holy Emperor, but he just said it casually.

Naturally, the Tianyu Holy Emperor would not show any abnormality and smiled: "Not at all, not at all. Your daughter is also quite outstanding; at such a young age, she is already a Dao Master of Tianwai Island. It is admirable. Eh, how old is your daughter?"

"My daughter turned eighty this year," the He Yu Holy Emperor smiled: "I heard your son is only eighteen; he wouldn't mind our Luyun, would he? Hahaha."

Eighty.

Hearing this age, Jiang Xun was also stunned.

Good heavens, eighty sounds very old at first glance, but compared to Jiang Xun's one thousand-plus years, He Luyun is practically an eight-month-old baby girl who was just born.

And to be at the Integration Stage Late Phase at eighty, compared to Jiang Xun, she is more than just a little bit stronger.

"How could you say that? How could he mind? We who cultivate the Dao wouldn't care about such things. I was just asking casually, right Zeyan?"

"The Princess is already at the Integration Realm Late Phase at such a young age; Zeyan is full of admiration and feels inferior, so how could there be any minding?" Jiang Xun also hurriedly stood up to answer.

"No need to be nervous, little Prince, just sit and answer," the He Yu Holy Emperor said, looking at Jiang Xun.

"Yes." Jiang Xun sat back in his seat upon hearing this.

"Zeyan, you've seen that side too, haven't you?" The Tianyu Holy Emperor raised his hand and pointed at the He Yu Dynasty's marriage proposal delegation.

"Replying to Father Emperor, I have seen it," Jiang Xun nodded and said.

"Holy Emperor He Yu has come in person; this sincerity is greater than the heavens. According to what we agreed upon before, shall we choose a day to hold the wedding?"

The Tianyu Holy Emperor hinted.

"I leave all arrangements to Father Emperor," Jiang Xun said, cupping his hands, sighing inwardly, so he was really going to get married now...

"If you have any dissatisfaction, raise it now; this Emperor will certainly not make things difficult for the Little Highness," Holy Emperor He Yu said while looking at Jiang Xun.

This was merely polite talk; how could Jiang Xun take it seriously: "Zeyan has absolutely no dissatisfaction. That the Princess is willing to marry Zeyan is a blessing Zeyan cultivated in a past life."

"Hahaha, you child, you really know how to talk," Holy Emperor He Yu laughed from the heart upon hearing this.
