After the Spring Festival, Min Xiyao came to Ping'an Town, bought a horse in Ping'an Town, and rode to the capital.
Along the way, she experienced the customs and customs of different places and slowly entered the capital.
When she arrived at the city gate, she lined up to enter the city gate and looked at the lively and bustling streets. She was in a great mood.
The streets here are very similar to those in ancient TV series. There are candied haws sellers, street snacks, and a dazzling array of shops. Everything shows the prosperity here, and there is no sadness after the Qingzhou snow disaster.
After walking on the road for fourteen days, when they arrived in the capital, it was already the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and tomorrow was the Lantern Festival. Min Xiyao decided to look at the lanterns in the capital.
After finding an inn to stay, Min Xiyao sat in front of the window of the room on the second floor, looking at the streets with people coming and going downstairs, and her mood improved again.
Situ Yu returned to the Justice League headquarters and asked people to pay attention to the movements of one of its stores. He asked the store owner to inform the store owner that if a little girl named Min Xiyao came over, he must be well entertained and informed.
Li Yu was assassinated several times on his way back to Beijing. If he hadn't possessed the fifth level of Qi training and the spells that Min Xiyao taught him, he would have died long ago.
For this, he was even more grateful to Min Xiyao, and he hated the third prince behind the killer even more.
When the third prince received the news that Li Yu had returned to Beijing safely, he was so angry that he broke the vases on the floor.
For some reason, Li Yu's return this time made him panic and uneasy. He always had a bad feeling in his heart. Li Yu's return might very well be the end of his death.
The third prince came to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion uneasily. The Imperial Preceptor glanced at the third prince who bowed his head in salute, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
Suppressing the panic in his heart, the third prince whispered: "National Master, Li Yu has returned to the capital safely."
The Imperial Master showed a creepy smile: "So, the monks I sent out were killed?"
Facing the horrifying smile of the imperial master, the third prince was startled and quickly lowered his head: "It should be so. I don't know which immortal force is helping him behind the scenes."
The third prince gritted his teeth, feeling secretly resentful in his heart, but he did not dare to act arrogantly in front of the Imperial Master.
The Imperial Master saw the facial expression of the third prince and sneered. His cold voice sounded like it was coming from hell and he asked coldly:
"Have you received the message from the goddess?"
In his heart, the news about the goddess is more valuable than the news about Li Yu's return.
The third prince's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said: "The rumored goddess has great powers and descends from heaven, but I always feel..."
A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the Imperial Master, and his voice sounded like something crawling out of hell, as he sneered:
"Haha, goddess? A small monk in the foundation building stage dares to interrupt my plan and pretend to be a ghost. I will never spare her."
The third prince paused, feeling extremely frightened. He was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.
Li Yu returned to the capital in a dusty state and went straight into the palace without rest.
The emperor received the news of Li Yu's return to Beijing in advance and directly received Li Yu without sleeping.
Li Yu reported everything that had happened since the disaster relief to the emperor, as well as the legend about the goddess.
After the emperor read Li Yu's memorial, he closed the memorial and pondered for a moment, then asked Li Yu:
"Who is this goddess? Have you found any information about the goddess?"
It is the best thing for the Zhou Dynasty to have a goddess to help.
If this powerful goddess could be found to compete with the national master, the life of their royal family would be much easier.
Thinking of what the imperial master had done recently, the emperor held the memorial in his hand tightly, his face condensed.
Feeling the emperor's anger, Li Yu lowered his head slightly. He already had some doubts about the goddess, but he could not tell the emperor.
Not even if this is his father.
In his heart, without knowing it, Min Xiyao's status was much higher than that of his father.
Seeing that Li Yu lowered his head and said nothing, the emperor sighed deeply, and then said: "You have done a good job. You should not be involved in these, but..."
Before the emperor finished speaking, Li Yu knew what he meant and said seriously:
"Although I encountered many dangers when I went out this time, I was able to turn the danger into safety and get the opportunity to cultivate as an immortal. It is my blessing."
"What did you say? Did you get the chance to become an immortal?" The emperor's eyes lit up and his hands were shaking with excitement. He stood up quickly and held Li Yu's hands tightly.
Feeling the strength coming from the emperor's hand, Li Yu sighed:
"Father, when I went out this time, I did get the opportunity to cultivate immortality and became a low-level monk. However, what puzzled me was that the results of the test given by the imperial master at that time clearly showed that I did not have the qualifications to cultivate immortality. But the Imperial Master said that I have no spiritual roots. My son clearly has spiritual roots, is it the Imperial Master?"
After hearing Li Yu's words, the emperor became furious, "What a great national teacher. Do you want to interrupt our royal family's path to immortality?"
Li Yu understood the emperor's anger and did not continue. After the emperor calmed down, he said:
"Father, I hope that my becoming a monk will be kept secret."
"Don't worry, only you and I know about this matter."
The emperor turned around, took out a box from under the dragon chair, handed it to Li Yu, and warned:
"This jade pendant was passed down from our ancestors. It is said to have the function of hiding your cultivation. If you wear the jade pendant, monks below Nascent Soul will not be able to detect your cultivation."
"Although the royal family is weak now, it has also raised a group of monks as dead warriors. I will send two high-level Qi-training monks to follow you."
"Thank you, Father!"
Li Yu understood that the emperor was both happy and afraid that the royal family had monks who could practice.
The emperor sent these two men to follow him, firstly to protect his safety, and also for the purpose of monitoring him.
Even though he was the emperor's biological son, he could not avoid the emperor's suspicion.
When the emperor saw that Li Yu readily accepted his arrangement, he was both pleased and sighed that his son had grown up and matured.
He waved his hand and said: "Your mother heard that you would come back tonight, and she never stopped. She is waiting for you in Kunning Palace? You go to Kunning Palace to meet your queen mother!"
After Li Yu saluted and said goodbye to the emperor, he walked to Kunning Palace.
The emperor looked at the empty palace, knocked on the table with his right hand, and said to himself: "Since the royal family has a cultivator, that national preceptor..."
Min Xiyao slept peacefully, and it was already noon.
I ordered a table of special dishes at the inn and started eating.
People in the inn were talking about the lantern festival tonight, and she decided to join in the fun.
As night fell, Min Xiyao came to the Lantern Festival Street and looked at the various lanterns, feeling very good.
