When they arrived near the petals, there were already many feathered people around. Some of them flew into different petals and buds, while others flew out from inside. There were almost no people without wings like Shi Lei.
Flying into a cloud with spreading petals, and some twisted flames around it, Shi Lei felt a flower blooming in front of his eyes. The cloud disappeared like a bloom, and an antique city wall appeared in front of him.
This city wall was not made of cement bricks as Shi Lei thought, nor was it made of clouds. In the sunlight, it appeared a light gray color that was neither gold nor silver, with some purple lines outlined on the gray.
Even the city gate is shaped like six rings. Each ring should have different spatial laws, and different feathered people will shuttle in and out from time to time.
When Shi Lei and others reached a ring, they were immediately blocked by feathered men wearing armor.
"Sir~"
Yuan Qiu hurriedly flew to the head, took out a jade pendant, and said respectfully, "I am a disciple of Yuan Yaoyun. These few are our distinguished guests of Yunzhuang. They are here to meet Master Yuan Xuyuan of the Planning Office in the royal city this time."
"Oh, it turns out he is Lord Yuan's nephew, please come~"
Yuren took the jade pendant, looked at it, and said with a smile, "A few days ago, Mr. Yen said that he hadn't seen anyone coming from Yunzhuang for a long time, and he missed him very much. Isn't this what happened?"
Yuan Qiu took the jade pendant with a smile, feeling very proud, and led Shi Lei and others into the ring.
There is another world within the ring. Different spatial rules are laid out and folded in an orderly manner, and there are countless pavilions and pavilions in each space.
In the center of all the spaces, there is a piece of light golden light. The light looks like the outline of a palace. No matter how hard Shi Lei squints, he can't see through the light.
"Finally arrived at the royal city~"
The mysterious woman's voice suddenly sounded in Shi Lei's mind.
"Yes, we just entered the city gate."
Shi Lei replied, "The pale gold palace in the center is where the royal family is, right?"
"Yes, that is the palace of the Lord of the Kingdom of Zhongshan. Your mission is to enter the palace and meet the Lord."
"and you……"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is your little lover."
"You~"
Shi Lei was startled and asked hurriedly, "You don't want to assassinate the leader of the Kingdom of Zhongshan, do you?"
"You have such a rich imagination~"
The mysterious woman said angrily, "I can't even control you, why should I assassinate the king of the country?"
"Can I see the king during the edict?"
"Yes, this is the custom and the requirement of Kunlun Palace. The king must be ennobled on behalf of Kunlun Palace."
Shi Lei and others followed Yuan Qiu and flew through many spaces and arrived at a courtyard.
Looking at it now, the situation here is different from just now. Most of the places I flew over before were pavilions, but now they are courtyards, and there are things like cloud monuments in front of each courtyard.
It is written clearly on the cloud stele here: The country of Zhongshan plans to build the Immortal Officials' Mansion.
"This is it~"
When Yuan Qiu saw Yun Bei, he was overjoyed and shouted, "I've been here before."
With that said, Yuan Qiu placed the jade pendant on the cloud monument.
"Brush~"
A silhouette shaped like a falcon appeared on the cloud monument. The silhouette opened its mouth and swallowed the jade pendant, and then spread its wings and flew towards the courtyard.
About a few minutes later, "Woo~" there seemed to be the sound of wind and thunder in the courtyard, and then a gate tower suddenly appeared.
Within the gate tower, another middle-aged man spread his wings and flew out.
"Motoaki?"
The middle-aged man was overjoyed to see Yuan Qiu. After shouting, he looked at Shi Lei and others and wondered, "Who are these?"
"Deber~"
Yuan Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, then pointed at Shi Lei and others and said, "This is our Yuan Yaoyun..."
Uncle Deb's name is Yuande, and he is in charge of affairs in Yuanxu's house. Yuanqiu had already mentioned it on the way.
"It's friendly~"
Shi Lei's heart moved, he interrupted Yuan Qiu's words, took a step forward and said, "We are Yuandong's friends. We want to come to the royal city to find an opportunity. The details will be discussed later."
Mr. Yuan, let’s talk again. "
"Oh, okay, okay~"
When Yuan De saw it, he didn't know what was going on. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, please come in."
"Yuanqiu~"
Seeing Yuan De turn around, Shi Lei hurriedly sent a message, "Don't mention a word about the Green Ghost!"
"ah?"
Yuan Qiu was stunned for a moment and almost blurted out, "Why?"
Yuan De turned his head when he heard the sound and asked curiously: "What?"
"It's okay~"
Yuan Qiu smiled and said, "Is the elder in the house?"
"No~"
Yuan De looked at Shi Lei again and said, "My lord is on duty today and has not turned around yet. But don't worry, fellow Taoists, with the recommendation of the Yuan Yaoyun family, my lord will take action unless it is extremely important."
"Sir~"
Yuan Qiu followed Shi Lei and quickly sent a message, "The head of the family asked me to explain Yuan Yaoyun's matter clearly to the elders. On the one hand, he explained your kindness to me, Yuan Yaoyun, and on the other hand, he asked the elders to use their power to investigate. If you don’t let me talk about catching a green ghost, what should I... say?”
"Moreover, there is also the jade slip given to the elder by the head of the family..."
But Shi Lei just shook his head and said nothing, as if he had taken the wrong medicine.
Yuan Qiu was so curious.
"Uncle De~"
Before everyone could fly into the reception hall, a young man flew out from the distant pavilion, looked at Shi Lei and others and said coldly, "Who are these people?"
"Master~"
Yuan De stopped in a hurry and said with a smile, "He is a good friend of the Yuan Yaoyun family..."
"What kind of friend is the head of the family?"
The young man glanced at Shi Lei and others and said with great disdain, "They are just here to camp in the royal city because of their connections. There are so many here every day. Are you bothered? Get out!"
"Master, Master~"
Yuande was very anxious and hurriedly explained, "This time it is true, there is a token from the head of the family, no, there is also Yuan Qiu following!"
"Yuanhao~"
Yuan Qiu also smiled quickly and said, "I am Yuan Qiu, I came here a few years ago." Kanshu La
Yuan Hao's voice was sharp and he scolded: "Did you call me Yuan Hao? You called me Master!"
"Young Master~"
Yuan De's expression changed slightly, he covered Yuan Hao's mouth with a wave of his hand, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this is Yuan Yaoyun's disciple."
Yuan Qiu was a little embarrassed, watching Yuan Hao being dragged away by Yuan De, and whispered: "Yuan Hao has never been back to Yuan Yaoyun, and he doesn't know the rules very well."
Shi Lei smiled but still said nothing.
Not long after, Yuan De hurried back and sent Yuan Qiu, Shi Lei and others to the guest hall to serve tea.
"Yuanqiu~"
After drinking a few sips of tea with him, Yuande said, "You talk to the guest, and I will urge you to come back quickly."
"No need, no need~"
Shi Lei smiled and said, "Sir, you are busy with official duties. It is just a small matter for us."
"It's okay~"
Yuande said with a smile on his face and got up.
"Sir~"
Seeing that there was no one in the reception hall, Yuan Qiu hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
"Shh~"
Shi Lei shook his head and said, "Be careful, the walls have ears. You will know this later."
Xu Wei and Yuan Hongzi were puzzled, but after hearing what Shi Lei said, they stopped asking any more questions.
About half an hour later, Yuan Xu came back.
