Chen Qingtian already disdained his argument and responded directly: "Haha! Prime Minister Wen is really wise. It seems that you have learned the way of the saint very well."
"But I, Chen Qingtian, am not cultivating the way of a saint, but the way of killing. The more barbarians and monsters I kill from all directions, the higher my mental state will be, and the higher my Tao state will be."
"As for you saying you want me to study in Wen Gong Holy Land for ten years, I'm not interested and don't want to go. That's what I mean!"
After saying that, Chen Qingtian stopped looking at him and looked at the aloof emperor.
Emperor Xiangsheng's eyes were full of smiles and he said loudly: "Prime Minister Wen, it seems that Chen Qingtian doesn't want to go to Wen Palace Holy Land!"
"Then I also respect him. Although he has murderous intentions, I still admire him very much and believe that he will not pose a threat to the empire."
"In my opinion, even if he stays in the center of the empire to practice, it will be easy to remove the excessive evil energy from his body. He does not necessarily have to go to the Wen Palace Holy Land, haha!"
As soon as Emperor Xiangsheng said this, the eyes of the ministers below him shone brightly, and many people quickly agreed.
"Holy Emperor, if you pay attention to the mighty Lord Chen Qingtian in the center and train him well, it will be a blessing to the empire and a blessing to all the people..."
"Second, Shenwei Hou should stay in the center of the empire, devote himself to training, and serve the empire..."
Slowly, more and more ministers said.
"If Shenwei Hou can practice in the Imperial City, it will also be his blessing..."
"The demon clan in the east has been pacified. Chen Qingtian, the mighty lord, doesn't have to rush back to the eastern border. It would be great if he stayed in the empire..."
More and more voices suggested that Chen Qingtian should be kept in the center of the Daxia Empire.
Yuan Hongli, Xing Wuming and more than a dozen people from the Eastern Legion, their expressions were extremely ugly at this time, and the thing they were most worried about had happened.
They were extremely anxious as they heard tens of thousands of voices around them asking Chen Qingtian to stay.
But due to their status, they couldn't say anything here. Even if they spoke, their voices would be drowned. They couldn't let go and yell in the court.
Naturally, the other powerful men who came to receive the title could not say anything for Chen Qingtian. Many of them just watched the excitement.
Chen Qingtian himself stood silently below without saying a word and with no special expression on his face.
Because he knew that after going through this level, the Emperor of the Great Xia Empire would definitely want to keep him here.
Seeing that the situation was almost over, Emperor Xiangsheng raised his hand and stopped everyone's noise.
At this time, he said to Chen Qingtian very enthusiastically: "Marquis Shenwei, listen, tens of thousands of courtiers in our Great Xia Empire want you to stay in the center of the empire and serve the empire. With such kindness, I don't think you will refuse. Yeah?"
After Emperor Xiangsheng said these words, his eyes gradually became sharp.
There was a cold light in that smile.
All the courtiers, as well as those who came to receive the title this time, including those from the Eastern Legion, all stared at Chen Qingtian nervously, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Chen Qingtian took a deep breath, and his expression became serious. He said directly: "Emperor, Qingtian is still young. He is a student of Cixin Sect. He also responded to the invitation of the central government of the empire and went to the eastern border to kill the demon clan."
"Now that the war is over, Qingtian hopes that he will return to the Taoist Academy and complete three years of training before choosing to join the Empire Central Committee. I hope the emperor will fulfill his wish!"
This excuse surprised everyone.
I didn't expect Chen Qingtian to be so perfunctory. The emperor's intention was very obvious. He hoped he would stay. This is an incredible honor.
But Chen Qingtian obviously refused, but only then did everyone realize that this boy who was less than twenty years old really appeared suddenly.
Many people already know his personal experience.
He said that he was a student of Compassionate Sect and seemed to have no problems.
Emperor Xiangsheng was a little stunned, but with a flash of light in his eyes, he laughed and said, "Haha! Chen Qingtian, with your strength and qualifications, what else can the Cixin Sect Taoist Academy teach you?"
"Besides, I also heard that you had an unpleasant quarrel with the Compassionate Heart Sect, so why would you go there?"
"Strictly speaking, you have joined the Eastern Legion, which is equivalent to joining our Great Xia Empire."
"It is perfectly normal to stay and serve in the center of the empire now. Does your rhetoric mean that you are unwilling to stay in the imperial city?"
"If that's the case, how about I give you time to think about it!"
After hearing these words, the courtiers began to discuss again. It was obvious that Emperor Xiangsheng gave Chen Qingtian a lot of face and did not force the decree.
Many courtiers felt that Chen Qingtian was a little disrespectful and bargained with the emperor.
When Chen Qingtian heard everyone's discussion, he also borrowed a donkey to go downhill and said respectfully: "Emperor, in this case, let Qingtian think for a while, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to the emperor."
"Yes!" Emperor Xiangsheng was very straightforward and seemed not to be in a hurry. He said happily: "Chen Qingtian, I am patient with you, so I will allow you to stay in the Imperial City to think about it. When will you figure it out? Come directly to me.”
When Chen Qingtian heard this, he knew that the other party obviously wanted him imprisoned in the Imperial City.
But at this time, he said nonchalantly: "Thank you, Emperor, for thinking so highly of me. Qingtian knows."
"Okay!" Emperor Xiangsheng said, "Today is truly a day worth being happy about!"
Then he said with a kind face: "In this battle with the monster clan, my sixteenth son and youngest beloved daughter also made great contributions on the battlefield."
"My little beloved daughter, in a few days it will be her birthday, and I will hold a family dinner at that time."
All the courtiers heard these words and responded loudly.
"Congratulations to the emperor, the prince and princess, for making contributions to the empire, it is a blessing to the empire."
"Wish the 23rd Princess Wanfu Jin'an, I look forward to congratulating you..."
Emperor Xiangsheng nodded, and then suddenly said: "Chen Qingtian, you also know the soul, right?"
"She has always recommended you to me, saying that you are the most magical young man she has ever seen. As my beloved daughter, I hope you will come to attend her birthday. You must come! Hahaha..."
When Chen Qingtian heard this, his eyebrows twitched slightly, but he said calmly: "Of course I am willing to attend the princess's birthday. Emperor Xie appreciates it!"
Wow! Most of the courtiers stared at Chen Qingtian with envious eyes.
There are few people who can match this young sage's treatment. What an honor it is to have the emperor call his name in public and attend the royal family banquet.
There are tens of thousands of people in the entire court, but only a hundred people are eligible to go. As soon as Chen Qingtian comes to the center, he can directly participate, and there is some kind of signal in it.
Emperor Xiangsheng stood up at this time, and he said calmly: "Someone will take you to receive the reward you deserve. If nothing happens, today's court meeting will end here."
"Leave other matters to Prime Minister Wen!"
After saying that, he was very cool and disappeared after a while.
Chen Qingtian and others also have dedicated people in charge of their affairs.
After leaving the Chaohui Hall, a group of people were waiting outside, and someone would come over to lead them to receive their respective rewards.
Xing Wuming, Yuan Hongli and others gathered around Chen Qingtian.
None of them looked very good. In this situation, Chen Qingtian was left behind for the time being.
Although the central government of the empire has not yet given him a formal position and it is not 100% confirmed, it is obvious that he cannot leave the Imperial City.
Seeing that they were in heavy hearts, Chen Qingtian smiled freely and said: "What's wrong? General Yuan, the master of the Star Formation, the war is over, why don't I come to the Imperial City to rest for a while?"
"Why do you look so sad? Be happy. You all got the reward just now. Now we have to get the real thing!"
Seeing Chen Qingtian's appearance, Yuan Hongli sighed and said: "Chen Shengcai, the emperor's intention is obvious. He will definitely not let you go easily. I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the pressure by then!"
Xing Wuming looked at Chen Qingtian with doubts and doubts, and said coldly: "Marquis Shenwei, you don't really want to stay in the Imperial City and serve the Empire Central Committee!"
Chen Qingtian patted his shoulder, shook his head and said, "Brother Xing, who do you think I, Chen Qingtian, am?"
"Don't forget, I am your master's sworn brother. I told you that if the Eastern Legion is in need, I will go there at any time."
"This imperial city cannot trap me!"
"General Yuan, don't worry. When you get back, tell the general that I'm fine and have my own plans."
Seeing this, Xing Wuming didn't say anything, but he was still worried.
Yuan Hongli nodded rationally and said seriously: "Chen Shengcai, the general believes in you. Of course I believe you, but if you stay alone in this imperial city, you must be careful."
"This place looks peaceful on the surface, but is actually extremely dangerous. Even with your strength, if someone wants to deal with you, it will be troublesome."
"You have the Holy Body, and many people really want to win over you, but... if it doesn't work, or someone is very greedy, then your Holy Body will also bring you trouble!"
"Haha!" Chen Qingtian sneered when he heard this.
This is the truth, but he said disdainfully: "I just want to see how many people will come against me and what kind of people will come against me."
"If that's the case, I'm not afraid of overturning this imperial city!"
Chen Qingtian's domineering power at this moment is so full!
Yuan Hongli and Xing Wuming, as well as these powerful Eastern Legion men, also looked at him blankly, not knowing how to evaluate him.
At this time, someone responsible for their affairs had already arrived.
"Marquis Shenwei, Marquis of Demons, generals, I'm here to invite you!" A woman wearing official robes appeared.
"Okay, I'll help you, sir." Chen Qingtian looked at the woman.
The appearance and temperament are superb, and the slender and delicate body makes people unable to help but make mistakes.
But Chen Qingtian also saw that she was quite strong and was a strong person in the divine elixir realm.
If placed in other places, he would definitely be a remarkable figure. Even in a large sect, he would be qualified to become an elder.
She walked in front, followed by everyone.
