Chapter 188 - 188 188 The Relationship Between Zhao Shu and Duan Ren

188: Chapter 188 The Relationship Between Zhao Shu and Duan Ren 188: Chapter 188 The Relationship Between Zhao Shu and Duan Ren When Zhao Shu saw Huang Xiaolong looking over, he nodded.

That meant Huang Xiaolong could directly address Emperor Duanren by his personal name in the future.

Huang Xiaolong sighed wryly at the thought of addressing Emperor Duanren by his personal name in front of everyone.

He could already imagine their expressions, which somewhat overwhelmed him.

Ultimately, however, Huang Xiaolong nodded in agreement.

Emperor Duanren, seeing Huang Xiaolong nod, appeared extremely pleased, and then with a smile, he respectfully said to Zhao Shu, “Had I known Mr.

Zhao was coming to the Broken Blade Empire, I would have welcomed you earlier.

Now, making Mr.

Zhao come to the Imperial Palace instead, I feel quite uneasy.” His uneasiness was genuine, or perhaps it was a bit of fear.

Zhao Shu, looking unconcerned, waved his hand and said, “It’s fine.

The Young Master and I will be staying in the Broken Blade Empire for a while.

If you encounter any issues with your cultivation in the future, you can come to me.”

Emperor Duanren’s face lit up with joy, “Then I shall follow your orders respectfully.” These days, he indeed had some problems with his cultivation and had been at a loss as to whom to consult.

Half an hour later, Emperor Duanren personally escorted Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Shu out of the palace.

Initially, Emperor Duanren wanted to escort Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Shu back to South Mountain Mansion, but Huang Xiaolong, concerned about appearances, only allowed Emperor Duanren to escort them out of the palace.

Even so, when Emperor Duanren escorted them out, the Imperial Palace Guards stationed outside dropped their jaws in amazement.

After Emperor Duanren had escorted Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Shu out of the palace, he then instructed Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian, “You two escort Young Master Huang and Mr.

Zhao back to the mansion.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian hastily responded with respect.

However, when Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian escorted Huang Xiaolong to the main gate of the Imperial Palace, Huang Xiaolong asked them to stop there.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s insistence, Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian dared not disobey and had to comply.

After Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Shu left and their figures disappeared, the two returned to the palace to report back to Emperor Duanren.

Emperor Duanren, looking at the two standing before the Great Hall, spoke, “You both must be very curious about Mr.

Zhao’s identity, right?”

“Your Majesty, who is Mr.

Zhao?” Duan Wuheng cautiously asked.

“Mr.

Zhao was a close friend of my mentor,” Emperor Duanren replied slowly, gazing forward, lost in thought.

“Over a thousand years ago, when I was still Innate, Mr.

Zhao was already a Holy Domain Expert.”

Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian were shocked.

A Holy Domain Expert more than a thousand years ago!

And at that time, Emperor Duanren was still Innate.

After a long while, Duan Wuheng finally spoke, “Your Majesty, what about our grandmentor now?” He had never heard his father mention anything about his mentor before.

“My mentor has fallen.

Over a thousand years ago, he was surrounded and killed by his enemies.

When Mr.

Zhao arrived, he saved me.

If it weren’t for Mr.

Zhao, I would have died just like my mentor over a thousand years ago!” Emperor Duanren explained with a sigh.

“After saving me, Mr.

Zhao, out of respect for my mentor, took great care of me and personally guided my cultivation for several decades.

Later, Mr.

Zhao left, and it has been over a thousand years since we last met.”

Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian exchanged glances.

So that was the case!

It turns out Mr.

Zhao was not only His Majesty’s elder but also his lifesaver, and could even be considered his half-mentor.

No wonder His Majesty was so respectful and excited towards Mr.

Zhao!

Duan Wuheng thought to himself.

“Your Majesty, what about Mr.

Zhao’s strength?” Cheng Jian cautiously inquired.

“Unfathomable!” Emperor Duanren murmured.

“At least a Holy Domain Seventh Rank!”

Holy Domain Seventh Rank!

And that was at the minimum!

Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian broke out in cold sweat.

Holy Domain experts, within the entire Broken Blade Empire, were few and far between.

Generally, they were all at the Early Stage of Holy Domain, and there were only two or three at the Middle Stage of Holy Domain.

As for those above Holy Domain Seventh Rank, Duan Wuheng searched his memory and seemed to find none!

Above Holy Domain Seventh Rank, definitely among the super old monsters within the old monsters!

Such people, definitely a colossal existence Duan Wuheng looked up to, recalling the time at Zhengde Square, Mr.

Zhao did not salute him, and the General beside him chided Mr.

Zhao, making Duan Wuheng’s hands and feet tremble.

If Mr.

Zhao had become angry at that time, wouldn’t he now be unable to protect even his underlings?!

Seeing his son’s unusual behavior, Emperor Duanren couldn’t help but ask, “Wuheng, what’s the matter?”

Duan Wuheng dared not hide it and immediately recounted the incident that occurred at Zhengde Square.

After hearing this, Emperor Duanren’s expression turned cold, “Those who offend Mr.

Zhao, die!

Behead that General!”

“Behead?!” Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian were stunned, that General was a renowned General in the Broken Blade Empire.

“Did you not hear my words?” Emperor Duanren’s aura surged.

“Yes, Father Emperor!” Duan Wuheng was startled and hastily responded respectfully.

“In time, I will apologize to Mr.

Zhao,” said Emperor Duanren.

Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian bowed their heads, not daring to breathe too loudly.

“Father Emperor, that Huang Xiaolong?” After a while, Duan Wuheng couldn’t help but ask.

“You should address him as Young Master Huang!” Emperor Duanren commanded.

Duan Wuheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly acknowledged.

“As for Young Master Huang’s matter, I do not know, Mr.

Zhao will speak if he wishes to tell,” Emperor Duanren said, “Do not investigate or wildly speculate about Young Master Huang’s identity, do you understand?”

Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian had no choice but to agree repeatedly.

“Alright, you may leave now!” Emperor Duanren said, “Remember, do not disclose anything about Young Master Huang and Mr.

Zhao!”

They acknowledged, respectfully saluted, and then withdrew from the Great Hall.

Exiting the Great Hall and leaving the Imperial Palace, the two walked in silence for a long time, not speaking until they reached the main gate of the Imperial Palace, where they finally realized they were in front of the main gate.

“Your Highness Second Prince,” Cheng Jian finally spoke up, “I will take my leave first!”

“Yes, you go ahead,” Duan Wuheng nodded.

His mind was a mess, today’s events had been too shocking, and he needed some time alone to reflect.

By now, Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Shu had returned to South Mountain Mansion.

Back at South Mountain Mansion, Huang Xiaolong also had many questions in his mind.

Knowing the questions in Huang Xiaolong’s mind, Zhao Shu said, “Sect Leader, back then I and the Great Emperor were close friends.” He then recounted how he had rushed to the Emperor’s aid, saving Emperor Duanren from being surrounded and killed by enemies.

Like Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian, Huang Xiaolong then understood Zhao Shu’s relationship with Emperor Duanren.

Arriving at the hall, Yu Ming and Fei Hou were already waiting.

After they paid their respects to Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Shu, Huang Xiaolong inquired about the arrangements for the Huang Family members coming to the Broken Blade Empire.

After hearing the reports from Yu Ming and Fei Hou, Huang Xiaolong told Zhao Shu and the others to leave, then activated the God Capturing Ring and entered the Ancient Battlefield.

Once inside the Ancient Battlefield, Huang Xiaolong took out the Seventh Grade Spirit Pill refined from the black-robed elder from the Asura Ring.
