s flashed, and he thought of the relationship between Yun Hao and Mu Bai Feng, the chief alchemist of Baodan Lou in Beihang County. He said, "That's fine. Since the traitor from Baodan Lou has been fo...Yun Hao entered the imperial city. In less than an hour, the imperial family had received the news, but this was not surprising at all.

After all, Han Qianshan brought Yun Hao openly into the city through the wall, and on the streets outside the imperial city's outer walls, an assassination attempt occurred again.

If the royal family can't even hear these whispers, then the entire capital city is in danger!

A senior eunuch from the palace, holding an imperial decree aloft, stood majestically outside the crowd.

This also helped Yunhao out of a predicament.

A group of female disciples surrounding Yun Hao parted ways.

Yūn Hào remained calm and collected as he approached the eunuch. He bowed respectfully but did not kneel to receive the imperial decree.

He carried the Qingfeng token, so even in the presence of the emperor, he did not need to perform a grand bow.

The Grand Eunuch looked at Yun Hao, nodded slightly, and then unfolded the imperial edict in his hand. His sharp voice tore through the air.

"By Heaven's Mandate, the Emperor decrees: The disciple Yun Hao of Qingfeng Martial Academy in Beihang County has distinguished himself in subduing the rebellious lord Murong Guang. His merits are outstanding, and the imperial grace is boundless. Therefore, Yun Hao is specially summoned to enter the palace to meet the Sage Emperor."

Shi Feng and Fatty still felt nothing.

Those around me live in the imperial city and often hear proclamations of imperial edicts. Logically, shouldn't these edicts also announce rewards and bestowments

Upon arriving at Yun Hao's place, it seems like entering the palace to meet the emperor. Could there be some hidden secrets behind this

The Grand Eunuch finished reading and handed the imperial edict to Yun Hao.

"Young Master Yun, why don't you come to the palace with me now" the grand eunuch said with a smile.

Yun Hao nodded.

The fat man immediately came up and said, "Sir, you've worked hard."

Saying nothing, he stealthily slipped a large silver note into the chief eunuch's sleeve.

The grand eunuch looked at the fat man with great appreciation and smiled, "Serving the Emperor is an honor for me. Moreover, Young Master Yun is talented and promising, a pillar of our Qingfeng Dynasty. The Emperor also admires Young Master Yun very much."

Now that it's been said, Fatty felt relieved and looked at Yun Hao: "Yun brother, go ahead, we'll be waiting for you here."

After Yun Hao and the eunuch left.

The fat man returned to Shi Feng's side.

Shi Feng stared at the fat man with a face full of resentment, his eyebrows twitching, and blue veins appearing on his forehead.

"Fatty: "Tie Dan, the silver wasn't spent in vain. At least now I know Yun Ge will be safe when he enters the palace. This is called human relations, you should learn more about it."

Shi Feng: "But you just took the silver bills from me!"

"It's not about the money, it's about the bond between brothers. That can't be measured in material things."

………

"Dean, Yunhao has gone to the palace," Lu Ming immediately sent the message to Qin Xiao's ear.

Qin Xia nodded: "It'll be fine."

Lu Ming: "I'm worried that the Emperor will take Yun Hao away. After all, he is still young. If he gets involved in the complex struggles of the court now, it will ruin his martial arts path..."

Qin Xia smiled faintly and said, "In the early years, didn't the Emperor often want to transfer Master Han from the Ministry of Education to his side to command the Imperial Guard But he wasn't successful."

Lu Ming: "But... not everyone is as pure as Director Han. What if the Emperor makes a heavy promise, and Yun Hao agrees Then we won't be able to keep him even if we want to."

Qin Xiao still looked calm and said, "Don't worry, Yun Hao is purer than Mr. Han, any benefits can't shake his dedication to martial arts."

Although we haven't had much time together.

But Qin Xiao's such a confident evaluation wasn't made out of thin air, it was a conclusion he drew after careful observation.

Just then.

A flash of anger suddenly appeared on Qin Xiaoping's usually calm face. He walked out of the martial arts academy hall and gazed at the distant scenery.

Lu Ming followed behind and said, "Dean, has Hei Jiao gone out again"

Qin Xiaoming said, "Recently, Hei Jiao's frequency of going out has been a bit high."

………

Palace.

The architecture is luxurious, delicate yet not lacking in grandeur.

The Imperial Guards stand guard with utmost vigilance.

Led by the eunuch, Yun Hao passed through layers of palace gates and arrived at a exquisite courtyard within the imperial palace.

"Firstly, I shall go in and report to the Emperor. Master Yun, please wait here a moment." The chief eunuch said,

He lowered his head and bent over to report.

Yunhao stood in the courtyard, his heart moved, and that section of dragon vein was taken out from the storage ring and placed inside his sleeve.

Unseen, the intangible imperial aura converged and surged into the dragon's vein.

The dragon vein absorbs the imperial Qi, which can condense mysterious dragon qi. Dragon qi can then be used by Yun Hao to continue upgrading his Azure Dragon Spirit.

Although qìyùn is invisible, Yun Hao naturally understands the method of observing qì. A strand of dark gold light flickered in his pupils. Under his observation, the qìyùn of the Qingfeng Dynasty, in its pale gold color, was actually mixed with strands of black light.

Even though the Qingfeng dynasty was a small and insignificant country, its national fortune should have been pure gold. A pale golden aura means the dynasty is declining.

And those tendrils of black light were the cause of the waning imperial qi. If the black light completely overwhelmed the golden light of the imperial qi, then… it would be the time when the Qingfeng dynasty was destroyed!

For a moment.

The chief eunuch reappeared before Yun Hao and said, “His Majesty asks Yun Gongzi to come in and have a look. This servant will not go in.”

Yunan nodded and walked towards the open door ahead.ao!"Xia Xuan nodded: "As you wish, sir.""She said, blinking her eyes, "Young Master, we haven't had a proper rest these past few days and I'm sure you must be all sweaty and grimy... how about...we wa...
