.....
In the imperial city, in front of the gate of the Princess's Mansion, two well-dressed guards holding swords were seen standing guard, surrounded by high courtyard walls, obviously heavily guarded.
"stop!"
Before Fei Ren could get close, one of the well-dressed guards suddenly took a step forward and blocked him with a serious look on his face.
"This is the princess's mansion, and no one else is allowed to enter."
The Fei Ren in front of him was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked unremarkable. He did not look like a young genius with a strong background. Therefore, the well-dressed guard subconsciously thought that the other person was just an ordinary warrior and did not think too much about it.
After all, the Princess's Mansion is the residence of Chu Qian, the current Princess of Lu Yuan. As a guard of the Princess's Mansion, if he accidentally lets some random people in and is blamed by the Princess, his head will be at risk.
"You two brothers have misunderstood. I am a guest of Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
Seeing this well-dressed guard stopping him, Fei Ren didn't care at all. He immediately took out a dark blue invitation from the spiritual ring between his fingers, and the next moment he fired it at the other party with a calm and calm tone.
The Yuanli cultivation of the two well-dressed guards at the door has reached the first level of the High Star Realm. Although their strength is not bad, they are not his opponents. Fei Ren can easily kill him with one move. However, he is currently in the Princess's Mansion. The other party was a bodyguard under Chu Qian's command. He didn't want to cause trouble unless he had to.
Moreover, Fei Ren did have the invitation card sent by Chu Qian in his hand, and it was not just a bunch of people waiting. If the other party insisted on blocking the way, then he would not go at all. After all, he had no interest in the martial arts tea party at the beginning.
Now Fei Ren just wants to compete with the top young talents of the Chu Dynasty at the World Heroes Conference in a dozen days to hone his own strength. As for coming to attend the martial arts tea party this time, he just wants to enjoy the whole meal and prepare to be at ease. A melon-eating crowd.
"It's really the princess who sent the invitation. The handwriting still has the aura of the small formation... That's right!"
His eyes were slightly suspicious, and the next moment the well-dressed guard also raised his hand to accept the invitation, and then made a sound of surprise.
"I have offended you so much before, please forgive me... Please!"
After looking at the invitation again, I saw the two well-dressed guards looking at each other. The next moment, they consciously stepped aside to make way, and then said in unison.
Being able to get the invitation from Princess Chu Qian of Lu Yuan, the people who come to attend the martial arts tea party are basically young geniuses from major families or sects. They are simply not something that guards from the princess's palace like them can afford to offend.
Although Fei Ren in front of him seemed ordinary, his background strength had already crushed them. Therefore, these two well-dressed guards naturally did not dare to neglect them, for fear that the other party would have an attack on the spot. After all, if they intercepted the distinguished guests in the mansion, they would not be ignored. Princess Lu Yuan herself knew that they would also be punished a lot.
"Uh-huh!"
However, what surprised these two well-dressed guards was that Fei Ren didn't seem to want to pay attention to them at all. Instead, he flashed and escaped into the princess's mansion.
"So fast...!"
"Is this the momentum of the younger generation of big families and sect forces..."
Seeing Fei Ren disappearing in an instant, the two well-dressed guards also had stern faces and shocked expressions.
...
Arriving at the Princess's Mansion, there were rockeries, green waters, and beautiful scenery along the way. However, Fei Ren had no idea of appreciating it. He just wanted to finish his work early, eat and drink well, and go away. As for the tea tasting, martial arts competition, and Taoism discussions, He really has no interest.
"With such a majestic mansion, Princess Lu Yuan is worthy of being the eldest princess loved by the emperor. I am afraid that some of the direct princes do not receive such treatment..."
After going around several large courtyards and gardens, Fei Ren also looked slightly surprised. The area of the princess's mansion in front of him seemed to be larger than he had imagined. He met hundreds of maids and servants along the way. However, he still didn't reach the center of the princess's mansion.
"I'm going, I seem to be lost...!"
Turning around another courtyard, Fei Ren looked embarrassed. The scenery in front of him was still beautiful and pleasant, but he felt in his heart that he seemed to have gone around and back to the starting point, like a headless fly.
"Young man, are you here to attend the Princess's martial arts tea party?"
At this time, an old chuckle slowly came from behind. The next moment, a white-haired old man in linen clothes walked up to Fei Ren. The white-haired old man's eyes were slightly narrowed into slits, and his old face was full of Folds, smile like chrysanthemums blooming.
"Exactly, may I ask the old gentleman...?"
Facing the white-haired old man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Fei Ren immediately handed over his hand and asked.
Although the opponent has a skinny body and an old face, his eyes are deep and sharp, and his aura is equally unfathomable. He is obviously a veteran strongman who has been immersed in martial arts for many years. His Yuanli cultivation is at least not weaker than the eighth level of the high star realm!
Moreover, it is impossible for an ordinary old man to walk back and forth in the heavily guarded princess mansion without being watched by anyone. It is obvious that the other party has a high status, so Fei Ren naturally does not dare to neglect him.
"I am a steward of the princess's mansion. You can just call me Uncle Fang. I saw that you seemed to have lost your way, so I came here to ask you."
"If you are here to attend the Princess's martial arts tea party, I can take you there..."
Facing Fei Ren's inquiry, the white-haired old man named Fang Bo gently stroked his long beard, then smiled lightly and said in a normal tone.
"Uncle Fang, thank you very much."
Regardless of the other party's status and strength, if someone volunteered to lead the way, Fei Ren would naturally be happy to accompany him.
After a while, under the guidance of Uncle Fang, Fei Ren finally arrived at the center of the Princess's Mansion, a larger courtyard. Looking around, he saw flowers, plants, clear ponds and green water everywhere. In the middle of the courtyard, there was a There was a simple stone pavilion, with figures emerging from it.
"This is it, young man. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now..."
"Senior, walk slowly."
At this time, Uncle Fang also smiled again, then turned and left, and Fei Ren immediately saluted him politely.
"This old man's strength is at least above the eighth level of the High Star Realm, even stronger than Liu Ming of the Steel Corps!"
"Such a person is actually just a small housekeeper in the princess's palace. It is said that Princess Chu Qian of Lu Yuan is loved by Emperor Chu Tianyang, but this is too exaggerated..."
Looking at Uncle Fang's disappearing figure, Fei Ren's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"Forget it, never mind, let's go get some food first..."
Thinking of this, Fei Ren also shook his head, then withdrew his thoughts and flew towards the stone pavilion in the middle of the courtyard.
....
"I wonder if anyone can win the favor of the princess this year..."
"I think it's difficult. In the past years, there were many top geniuses with good strength, but they still failed to get into the eyes of the princess."
"This makes sense. The princess is not only talented and accomplished, but also loves drinking tea. If both tea ceremony and martial arts are top-notch, there may be some opportunities to have a romantic relationship..."
As soon as Fei Rengang approached the stone pavilion, several comments slowly fell into his ears. Looking up, he saw many people gathered around the stone pavilion. They were basically young people from the major forces in the imperial city. Seniors, and most of them are above the ninth level of Zhonghe Realm, there are almost no weak ones.
However, the host has not yet appeared, and Princess Lu Yuan Chu Qian is not among the people present. It seems that the martial arts tea party has not officially started yet.
