Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 32

[Chapter 32 Star Palace, Chen Palace]

Li Tianming saw Yandu again.

This is a fiery city, and even the city walls seem to be scorched red by the scorching sun. From a distance, it looks like a red-hot boiler, steaming hot.

In my impression, Yan is the most prosperous city.

It is a place of dreams for young people from the Suzaku Nation, where the famous families of the entire Suzaku Nation gather together, as well as the wealth, powerhouses, geniuses and resources of the whole country.

Four years ago, Li Tianming came to Yandu with lofty dreams, passed the imperial examination and entered the Yanhuang Academy to cultivate, and everything was flourishing.

Four years later, he made a comeback, and the meaning of life has been completely different.

When I saw Yandu again, my mood was naturally different, and this time I brought my mother.

Wei Jing opened the roller blinds in the carriage.

Her eyes were like water, and the way she looked at Yandu was completely different from Li Tianming.

So far, Li Tianming didn’t know what kind of story she had with Yandu, but he knew that Wei Jing had always been from Yandu before marrying Li Yanfeng.

Her childhood was tied to this fiery Yan.

At this moment, her eyes were like water, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were moist, like a mist of water.

It can be seen that twenty years later, when she returns to the hometown where she was born and raised, there must be many waves in her heart.

And those waves were hidden in the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Her silver hair fluttered in the air, even though she looked very old, but in the smile and the flying long hair, Li Tianming suddenly imagined her youth.

It must be an enviable and lively woman, just like Jiang Feiling and Princess Qing.

“The years and the disease are too cruel.” Li Tianming buried this sentence in his heart and did not say it.

With a smile on his face, he stared at his mother and asked, “How? Do you feel like you want to talk and cry first?”

“Naughty, your mother is not a sentimental person. I just miss Yandu’s cakes, mung bean cake, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and crabapple cake. They taste so good.” It was obvious that she was already salivating.

Once, she was also a girl who walked the streets and alleys with delicious food in her hand.

“Don’t worry, when your son is rich, I will definitely let you eat enough.”

“In the future, we will settle down in Yandu, and I will serve you very well and bring you delicious cakes every day.” Li Tianming said.

“Tractor, don’t break your promise, if you dare to forget, I won’t let you go home.” Wei Jing said with a stern face.

“Cruel women.” Li Tianming shook his head.

“beat you!”

Sure enough, after leaving Lihuo City, you never have to see that man again. Happiness is that simple.

“However, we came to Yandu empty-handed, where is there a place to stay?”

This is a problem that Li Tianming needs to solve urgently. If he comes alone, he will have a place to live after entering the Yanhuang Academy.

However, the mother cannot enter the Yanhuang Academy, she needs to have a home of her own.

“I’ll take care of this. My mother had many friends in Yandu back then.” Wei Jing said with a smile.

It seemed that she had already made plans.

“It’s just that the sisters haven’t seen each other for 20 years, and they all live better than me.”

No matter how free and easy people are, they will be lost at this time.

Back then, they were like glue together, but in the future they have their own families and their own lives.

After entering Yandu, Li Tianming drove the carriage and headed towards the west area of Yandu according to Wei Jing’s guidance.

Yandu is very big. If you really want to go shopping, you will not be able to finish it for a few days and nights.

“Do you know the location of the ‘Chen Palace’?” Wei Jing asked.

“Of course I know that the Xingfu and Chen Palace are the most luxurious and splendid mansions in the western district of Yandu. If they were not in awe of the Suzaku royal family, these two mansions might be more luxurious than the imperial city.”

Li Tianming stayed in Yandu for a year and knew the streets of Yandu well.

The reason why these two mansions can be so luxurious is mainly because of money. because,

This is the residence of the two presidents of the ‘Xingchen Chamber of Commerce’.

The Xingchen Chamber of Commerce is the largest business alliance in the Vermillion Bird Nation, controlling the economic lifeline of the whole country. Countless branches are opened in cities and towns, and Lihuocheng also has its branches.

As the saying goes, there is only enough money, and there is nothing that cannot be bought in the Xingchen Chamber of Commerce.

The two presidents of the Xingchen Chamber of Commerce are legendary figures of the Vermillion Bird Country.

They are civilian geniuses who started from scratch together. They were called ‘The Twins of Stars’ more than 20 years ago, and now they are called ‘The Twins of Stars’.

The two of them have opened the Star Chamber of Commerce all over the country in just 20 years, possessing wealth that is comparable to that of a country, making the Star Chamber of Commerce, which has only a history of 20 years, the most emerging force in Suzaku Nation.

Even, it is enough to compete with many old giants with thousands of years of history, such as Lei Zun’s mansion.

Xingfu and Chen Palace are the residences of Xingsheng and Chensheng respectively. Over the years, they have received countless high-ranking people.

However, that is not a place that ordinary people can enter, anyway, Li Tianming has never approached.

“What are you going to do in Chengong? Could it be that you know people from Chengong?” Li Tianming asked curiously.

“There was once a good sister who was married to Chen Palace.” Wei Jing said.

Maybe she was about to see a friend she hadn’t seen in 20 years, and she felt a little nervous in her heart. After all, she was now seriously ill and desperate.

Before long, a star-lit mansion appeared before them.

This mansion is like a small city, located in the most prosperous part of Yandu, surrounded by many famous families.

Chen Palace is like a star holding the moon, magnificent and elegant, and many sculptures and reliefs are very stylish. The dazzling starlight is enough to make ordinary people feel ashamed and dare not approach.

A long way from the gate of the Chen Palace, there are guards with a high level of cultivation, guarding with ferocious companion beasts.

Seeing the adult male lion and tiger crawling on the ground, even if they are dozing off, is a deterrent to the people around them.

Li Tianming came driving a carriage. This carriage was Li Yanfeng’s car, so it was luxurious enough. Therefore, the guard at the gate assumed that there should be a person in the carriage.

So, they were more polite and asked, “Do you want to visit Chen Palace? Do you have an invitation?”

“Please tell your wife, Xue Lan, that the old friend Wei Jing will see you.” She gently opened the roller shutter and said softly.

“Madam? Our madams don’t usually see regular customers. Your Excellency, please don’t embarrass me.” The guard said seriously.

“Just tell me my name, but trouble. If there is no response, I will naturally leave.” Wei Jing said very politely.

The guards were also unsure. After all, the man in front of him was an old man, and he might be an elder of the lady. To be on the safe side, they still reported it inside.

The waiting time was a bit long, after all, Chen Palace was too big, so it naturally took time to report to the lady.

“Mother, does this lady have a high status in Chen Palace?” Li Tianming asked curiously.

“Naturally, she is Chen Sheng’s wife.” Wei Jing smiled.

“Fuck me?” Li Tianming was taken aback, and he had to look at Wei Jing with puzzled eyes.

Her former friend actually has the existence of Mrs. Chen Sheng, which means that her status in Yandu will not be low.

Chen Sheng, but now the most influential figure in the entire Suzaku country, his status is comparable to that of the minister of the Suzaku country.

This kind of person, Li Yanfeng has no contact.

When Li Tianming was still a little suspicious, news had already come out, and the guard hurried forward and said, “Please see my wife, my wife is setting up the ‘Xuechen Pavilion’, please get off the carriage and go with the villain.”

Wei Jing had difficulty walking, so Li Tianming helped her into the Chen Palace.

After entering, Li Tianming realized just how luxurious this Chen Palace is. There are jewels and glaze everywhere, five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, and the flowers are like brocades, which is very beautiful.

Compared with this Chen Palace, the City Lord’s Mansion in Lihuo City can only be called a shabby house.

To be able to be the hostess in such a Chen Palace, it seems that this woman named Xue Lan is also an extraordinary person.

Li Tianming had to be calmer, otherwise he would be too much like a hillbilly going into the city.

It’s just that the former sisters, one now doesn’t even have a name or a place to live, but the other is the mistress of this Chen Palace, Chen Sheng’s wife.

The encounters in life are really embarrassing, and the unkind people you meet make life so painful.

It’s just that Wei Jing’s face is calm, it seems that the sisters can have this kind of happiness, she is not jealous, but deeply happy for her.

The road to Xuechen Pavilion is a bit long, and on the way, I passed a martial arts field.

The martial arts field was very lively at this time, and there were many teenagers and girls from the Star Chamber of Commerce who were discussing and trying.

In every Yanhuang Academy exam, there are many disciples of the Xingchen Chamber of Commerce who can enter the Yanhuang Academy to practice. Today’s practice is probably for the final preparation.

After all, three days later, it will be the day of the official palace examination.

Li Tianming noticed that there was a 15- or 16-year-old boy on the martial arts field who was very dazzling.

The young man was slender and handsome, wearing a navy blue training suit, his long hair was neatly combed and meticulous, and the most dazzling part of his body was his eyes.

Those eyes are as bright as stars, crystal clear, like gems and emeralds.

Even if Li Tianming was separated by Xu Yuan, he could see the light of these eyes.

This is definitely a child of a great family, and the innate crystal clear feeling is not comparable to ordinary children from the fringe.

For example, Liu Qianyang, he is indeed noble and powerful, but compared with this young man, he obviously lacks a crystal clear heart.

From a distance, this young man looks like a pure star, so although there are many martial arts geniuses around, from a distance, you can see at a glance that he is the dazzling one.

His companion beast is a burly purple male lion.

The purple male lion’s eyes have six very obvious star points, and each star point is shining, which is enough to show that this young man’s companion beast is a sixth-order companion beast.

Being able to have a sixth-order companion animal shows that this young man is considered a top genius in Yandu, not someone like Liu Qianyang and Jiang Yilin can compare.

“This is the companion beast of our Chen Yao boy ‘Six-star Yao Lion’. It is said that even among the sixth-order companion beasts, it can be regarded as a ‘high-grade’ existence.” The guard was proud, proud and envious.

Li Tianming knew that on Yandu’s side, the rank of the companion beasts would be further divided.

The same fifth-order companion beasts and sixth-order companion beasts will be divided into three levels: high-grade, middle-grade and low-grade.

For example, his four-winged golden-winged Dapeng was once listed as a fifth-order mid-grade companion beast, which belongs to the middle reaches among the fifth-order companion beasts.

And this six-star lion is not only a sixth-order companion beast, but also belongs to the high-grade existence, which further shows that this ‘Chen Yao’ young master’s talent is unparalleled.

“Is this Xue Lan’s child?” Wei Jing asked.

“Of course, Chen Yao is the youngest son of his wife, and his eldest son ‘Chen Hao’ has already entered Tianfu to cultivate, and now he ranks very high in Tianfu’s list.” The guard said proudly.

Chen Hao?

Li Tianming knew him. He ranked in the top three in the palace exam four years ago. He was suppressed by Lin Xiaoting and he was not able to enter Tianfu directly.

“Master Chen Yao is about to take the palace examination in three days. He is very hopeful that he will get the first place in the palace examination and be promoted directly to Tianfu.”

“It is said that the younger you are, the earlier you enter Tianfu, the more good fortune and cultivation you will get. If Young Master Chen Hao was the first in the palace examination four years ago, he would probably be no worse than the one from Lei Zunfu today.”

Needless to say, Li Tianming knew that this young master of Chen Palace must be the most popular candidate for the palace examination.
