Chapter 374: Chapter 374- Emperor of the Tianyun Empire (2)

"Father, you are in the middle of an official meeting" Tang Xun’er embarrassingly chided. Nevertheless, the emperor’s subsequent words made her face flush even redder.

"Sigh, when did my Xun’er grow up so much. Now she calls me father instead of papa when she was little"...

"Father!!" She stomped her feet and started lecturing the ruler of a nation.

Standing by the side, looking at their adorable family banter, Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel like a fool for being so nervous. The man in front of him was nothing like the strict, authoritarian ruler he envisioned in his mind.

"Haha, has your illusion shattered?"

From the side, Guozhong commented. As the leader of the imperial soldiers, he was used to this family drama.

"I hope you don’t think that the emperor usually behaves like this. This only happens whenever the princess visits".

Yang Chen nodded his head, he understood those sentiments very well. After all, he too loved his mother and father very much. Seeing the family in front of him, he was reminded of the ones he had in his past life.

"Ahem, Yang Chen, please excuse us. Now, father isn’t there something you wanted to discuss with him?"

At that moment, the emperor finally tore his eyes away from his daughter and looked at him. In that split second, the entire aura around the man changed and Yang Chen felt like he was being stared by a gaze so piercing that it could stare through his soul.

An imperceptible pressure that only he could feel weighed down on him.

"So you are Yang Chen, huh?"

The emperor stepped forward, observing him from head to toe.

GULP... His throat made a gulping motion, and it finally hit him. The man in front of him was no longer that doting father; instead, the one who stood before him was a ruler and an elite practitioner who was in no way weaker than the first elder of the Yan clan, Tang Zhigang.

Tang Zhigang looked at Yang Chen. Moments later, his body started shaking, and his body was filled with rage.

"You bastard, you dare try to charm my daughter? I will imprison you inside the dungeon where you will rot for a hundred years"...

"Huh?" Yang Chen blinked his eyes, for a moment, he was unable to process what was going on.

"Faaaatheeeer!!" Tang Xun’er chided once again; this time her face was quite menacing.

Tang Zhigang hurriedly composed himself "Ahem boy, we will have this discussion later. For now, why don’t you join our Holy Orchard Academy? Since you also practice battle energy, the place should be quite helpful to you".

His mind became blank once again. Holy Orchard Academy... wasn’t it the very same faction he was trying to join since the beginning of his journey?

Due to several complications and circumstances, he was unable to honour the promise of arriving at the New Moon City, where the academy was located. Who knew the opportunity would come back to him in a roundabout way.

That said...

"Isn’t the Holy Orchard Academy in the new moon city?"...

"Oh? You know about that? That’s right; however, the one there is only the outer academy. The inner academy is situated in the capital Tianyun" Tang Xun’er explained.

So that was the case.

"Didn’t you say you were a disciple of Imperial Star Palace?" Yang Chen remembered when he first met her, she told him that she was from the Imperial Star Palace.

"Ah! About that... at that time, I didn’t know you very well and didn’t want to divulge my identity. That said, I did not lie to you, this place is called the Imperial Star Palace" the girl hurriedly explained.

Seeing their exchange, the side of his daughter he had no idea of as she hurriedly tried to make an excuse to a man, Tang Zhigang’s fury surged.

"Your majesty, please hold yourself back a little" Guozhong reminded. Thanks to his retainer, he was barely able to stop himself from going crazy.

"Hmph, anyway, brat what is your decision? Of course, you don’t have to join if you don’t want to. In which case, you are free to stay here or leave wherever you wish"...

"Father!!"...

Yang Chen fell silent. Had it been around a year ago, he would no doubt say yes. However, after seeing the broader world and experiencing things for himself, he felt like his nature was more suited to be a free and rogue practitioner.

"Your Majesty, can I have some time to think about it?" He did not jump to a decision and instead asked for some time.

"Hmm, alright. Do as you wish. When you have made your decision, you can come and find me here".

Yang Chen took his leave, Tang Xun’er left with him.

"What do you think of this person, GuoZhong?"

Now with only the emperor and his retainer remaining, Zhigang turned towards the latter and questioned.

"As someone who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, his Five Star Battle Grandmaster realm cultivation is indeed quite impressive. Perhaps he might be able to give a challenge to some lower seat candidates. However, that is all there is to him. Personality wise, I see no problem with him" GuoZhong gave his honest impression.

"I see" Zhigang nodded his head and then started laughing "So that’s what you think. I, on the other hand, believe in the eyes of my daughter"...

"Is His Majesty saying that he will be able to represent us in the upcoming summit? With all due respect, the geniuses of the other four clans are all monsters. Even the seeded candidates of our academy will have an extremely tough time just to get on the leaderboards. What’s more, there is still Murong Shan that he needs to get through if he wants to represent the imperial family in the summit".

The emperor gave a mysterious smile before taking out a parchment of paper from his space ring.

"Look at this?" he tossed the parchment to Guozhong.

"This is?"...

"An application that came through from the elders of the outer academy. Read the details".
