Chapter 190: The Longevity Emperor: That year, at 6, I stood like an ant.
The latest chapter is packed with exciting plot twists! Come check out Cola Novels!
Neither the Yaoyue sisters nor Su Ying wanted to go to Yuyan Tower.
Because Li Ping had told them the story of Jiang Yuyan.
Yaoyue firmly believes that the Yaoyue sisters in that world are the same person as herself and Lianxing.
It's too bland and too soft!
If it were the two sisters, even if they encountered an invincible opponent, they would never have fallen into the enemy's hands and been slaughtered by them.
Given their pride, the only thing they would do upon realizing they would end up in this situation is commit suicide.
However, they also disliked Jiang Yuyan, so they set off first, and Li Ping and Huang Rong arrived at Yuyan Tower.
Jiang Yuyan invited quite a few people today, all of whom are wealthy and influential. I wonder how she managed to get them all here.
When Li Ping and Huang Rong walked in, the entire room fell silent instantly.
Because Li Ping's reputation as the "Guardian Sword of the Nation" was so renowned in the capital.
Although the cabinet could not possibly agree to Zhu Houzhao's final decree, the words "to execute him on my behalf" still carried a great deal of weight.
If an ordinary official really offended Li Ping and was killed by him with a single sword stroke, given his high level of martial arts, it would be a real problem to deal with him...
After all, people are now practically calling Li Ping a sword immortal.
A young woman led Li Ping and his companion into the banquet hall.
A young man next to him immediately stood up and bowed: "Greetings, Guardian Sword of the Nation."
Hearing this title, Li Ping felt a little happy.
Li Ping smiled and said, "May I ask your esteemed name, brother?"
The young man said, "I am Zhu Houcong, the heir of the Prince of Xing's Mansion. I have long heard of the great name of the Guardian Sword."
"Frustrated the Tatars' plot to wreak havoc on the martial world, saved the Emperor's life, and further defeated the Tatar delegation, thus enhancing our national prestige."
"Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary."
It turns out they were members of the Zhu family's imperial clan.
Li Ping asked curiously, "Aren't members of the imperial clan forbidden from entering the capital?"
Zhu Houcong respectfully replied, "It was our great-grandfather, the Taizu Emperor, who summoned us to the capital."
Old Zhu!
Old Zhu was ruthless to others, but he was very good to his own children and grandchildren.
He came into this world all alone, so it's normal for him to want to see his descendants.
In that case, it's also possible that the Jiajing Emperor...
and many more!
Zhu Houcong.
I vaguely remember that the Jiajing Emperor was called by this name!
isn't it?
You think you're the one?
That's the guy who roared "My money!"
I can't tell.
He doesn't show any trace of immortal demeanor; he doesn't resemble the Emperor of Longevity at all.
Seeing Li Ping's gaze, Zhu Houcong asked in surprise, "Master Li, is there something on my face?"
Li Ping laughed: "No, no, by the way, who are the people here today?"
Zhu Houcong enthusiastically introduced them to Li Ping, and indeed they were all sons of high-ranking officials and nobles. Then, he looked at a woman and said, "And that lady over there, she is the Tatar princess."
"It is said that she was originally from the Central Plains, but was forcibly taken as a concubine by the Tatars. She was fierce and had martial arts skills. When the Great Ancestor attacked the royal court, she killed Yanda Khan."
"Grandfather Taizu was moved by her fierce spirit and achievements, and bestowed upon her a house."
"I usually live a secluded life, but I never expected to be invited out by the owner of Yuyan Tower today."
Li Ping looked Lin Xian'er up and down. Goodness, she's that fierce.
She's quite good-looking!
However, Li Ping didn't know anyone here, and he felt a little bored.
Thinking it best to just go directly to Jiang Yuyan, get the Time Crystal Sand, and leave.
Just then, Lin Xian'er gracefully rose and walked towards Li Ping. Her figure and gait captivated the eyes of the well-traveled young men on the side.
Lin Xian'er gave Li Ping a graceful curtsy: "May I ask if you are the Great Hero Li, the Guardian Swordsman?"
Li Ping was taken aback: "Greetings, Your Highness."
A hint of anger flashed across Lin Xian'er's face: "Is Master Li mocking me? I am originally from the Central Plains, how could I have ever wanted to be some kind of Tartar princess?"
"It was the Tatar king who forced him to become a thief."
"It was Your Majesty, it was the Ming army that rescued me and freed me from this misery. Why does Master Li still call me Princess?"
Li Ping was taken aback and also felt that the way he addressed him was inappropriate. Wasn't he just reopening old wounds?
He said, "I'm sorry, but... what advice do you have for me, young lady?"
Lin Xian'er said, "My surname is Lin, and my given name is Xian. You can just call me Miss Lin."
"I've heard that Master Li uncovered the Tatar plot, killed Tatar assassins, and saved the late Emperor..."
"Therefore, if it weren't for Master Li's intervention that day, I would probably still be suffering in misery. Master Li has done me a great favor."
"I have come only to offer a cup of wine to the esteemed hero, Li!"
After saying that, he picked up his wine glass.
Li Ping took out his gourd and poured a glass of juice: "Then I'll use tea instead of wine."
The two clinked their glasses, and Lin Xian'er drank her wine to the brim, a slight blush appearing on her face: "I have long heard that Master Li never drinks, so I naturally dare not force him."
"I am already satisfied that Master Li is willing to accept a toast from someone as unclean as me."
After saying that, he turned and left.
She didn't show any seductive charm, completely embracing her own persona.
In her view, Huang Rong kept a close eye on Li Ping, but she was confident that she couldn't climb into a man's bed without him.
So what if you're the best in the world?
It's not like I haven't slept with them before!
It's a pity that the damned Zhu Houzhao died too young, otherwise, I might be a princess in the Central Plains by now!
At this moment, Huang Rong snorted coldly: "You sly fox."
Li Ping was taken aback: "What you're saying is ridiculous. She didn't do it willingly..."
Huang Rong twisted his waist in exasperation: "Idiot."
Women's perspectives on other women are completely different from men's perspectives on women.
Huang Rong could tell at a glance that this woman was a sly fox, clearly harboring ill intentions!
Just then, a red cloud suddenly drifted into the restaurant, followed by rousing music, and the red cloud danced in the air to the music.
The sword in her hand flashed with light, like a celestial being descending from the heavens—it was none other than Gongsun Da Niang!
"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful woman named Gongsun, whose sword dance moved all four directions..."
After witnessing Gongsun Da Niang's sword dance, Li Ping was captivated and finally understood Du Fu's feelings back then.
Putting aside Gongsun Da Niang's martial arts skills for now, her sword dance was truly captivating!
Just seeing this sword dance made today's trip worthwhile!
Even Huang Rong put aside her displeasure and began to enjoy the view with peace of mind.
After the dance ended, thunderous applause erupted!
At this moment, Jiang Yuyan appeared and said with a smile, "Thank you all for gracing us with your presence today."
"I know you are all here today for the treasure, so I will not waste time with unnecessary words."
After saying that, he took out a box. When the box was opened, a dazzling crystal floated out from inside—it was the Time Crystal Sand!
Jiang Yuyan said, "I acquired this item by chance, but my eyesight is poor and I cannot distinguish between genuine and fake jade. I wonder if any of you wise gentlemen can enlighten me?"
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
Even though everyone present was used to seeing rare and precious treasures, this was the first time they had ever seen such a treasure that could float in the air automatically and emit a seven-colored light.
Everyone held their breath!
Some say, "This thing can move on its own and float in the air without anything attached to it; it must be related to immortals?"
Everyone nodded; that was the only guess they could make!
Li Ping asked, "How did you obtain this item, sir?"
Jiang Yuyan was pleasantly surprised: "It seems that Master Li recognizes you?"
Li Ping shook his head: "This is my first time seeing it too, I'm just very curious!"
Jiang Yuyan smiled: "If Master Li likes it, how about I give it to you? Just agree to one condition..."
