For a time, the atmosphere in front of the palace was tense.
On one side is Master Mo, on the other side is Xingzhong Prefecture Wujueyuan.
Although Mr. Lu's status is not as transcendent as that of An Xinxiong in Liu County, his status in Beiyan is definitely several orders of magnitude higher than Master Mo.
After all, Mr. Lu is a Grade C master.
An Xinxiong is only in the second grade.
bass!
Duan Feilian pointed his sword at Xie Menghai, and he was furious: "Old man, today I want to see what you are capable of! How dare you insult the master, I think you don't want to live anymore!"
"stop!"
Just as the two sides were confronting each other, a loud shout came from the palace.
Then, under the protection of a large team of guards, a middle-aged man wearing a python robe, a gold crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist came out.
The man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is not angry but has a strong sense of authority.
There is indeed the majesty of the Wang family.
And this person is none other than Pingbei King Murong Zhuo!
When Murong Zhuo saw the palace door open, he was also very curious.
As I walked closer, I saw a young man having an argument with a black-robed Master Wu Jue.
I couldn't help but feel angry.
What do you think the palace is? Is it a vegetable market?
So Murong Zhuo looked at Liu Cheng and asked angrily: "What on earth is going on? Are you fainting, Liu Cheng?"
When Liu Cheng saw Murong Zhuo, he was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. But... Your Majesty, this matter is not that simple. Who do you think that is?"
Murong Zhuo looked sideways at the direction of Liu Cheng's fingers.
He suddenly discovered that the other party was actually Xie Menghai, the chief steward of Wujueyuan!
"It's him?!" Murong Zhuo was also surprised. Xie Menghai usually had a high level of eyesight and disdained to participate in the secular world.
It would be extremely difficult to invite him to a normal banquet.
And today this person actually came with a child?
"What the hell is going on?"
This time, Murong Zhuo's anger completely disappeared, and he looked at Liu Cheng in a questioning tone.
Liu Cheng stood up and whispered in Murong Zhuo's ear.
Murong Zhuo was shocked after hearing this, and the way he looked at Jiang Chao suddenly changed from the disregard and disdain just now to the surprise now.
Such an achievement at such a young age has an extraordinary background.
Moreover, he was followed by Xie Meng Hai'an. This shows that this person's status is by no means low, which is completely unmatched by Peng Jiuchao.
Even if Master Mo comes, Xie Menghai probably won't give him face like this!
Not to mention riding in front of the saddle and behind the horse.
That was a rare C-level master follower in the dynasty.
Who dares to provoke?
Murong Zhuo calmed down his emotions, and at this time, Fei Lian clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, there is Duan Feilian, an inner disciple of Xia Ling Shui Sect, and this is the famous disciple of Master Mo, Master Peng."
"Master Peng?" Murong Zhuo squinted at Peng Jiuchao. He was wearing a black robe with Sirius embroidery. He was clearly a Xin-level master.
Although you should be treated politely.
But he would not open the main entrance of the palace to greet him, which was obviously a sign of lowering his status.
Murong Zhuo simply ignored Duan Feilian and Peng Jiuchao, and instead looked at Jiang Chao and Xie Menghai, cupping their hands and saying, "I don't know that the two of you are coming here, but I am not welcoming you from afar. I am sorry for my lack of etiquette. Please forgive me."
………………
Deathly silence.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
King Pingbei personally welcomed him?!
Two civilians?!
What happened to this world?
Duan Feilian couldn't believe his ears. But Murong Zhuo did indeed do this. He really personally invited Xie Menghai and Jiang Chao, the old and the young, to join.
But he ignored himself and Peng Jiuchao.
But fortunately, he didn't let anyone close the main door and let Duan Feilian and Peng Jiuchao follow them in.
Just with this hand, Jiang Chao felt that King Ping Bei still had two tricks up his sleeve.
After all, he is a prince, not as powerful as a servant.
Walking into the courtyard, Murong Zhuo said with a smile: "May I ask the master's name?"
Jiang Chao smiled and said: "My surname is Tang, Tang Huaijiang."
Murong Zhuo smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out to be Master Tang. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you!"
Speaking of this, Murong Zhuo then looked at Xie Menghai and said: "And Manager Xie, it is also a blessing for me to come to the palace today despite my busy schedule!"
Xie Menghai replied with a smile: "The king of Pingbei is busy with everything, how dare I disturb him casually. But the guest minister in the house has a very bad temper, and he will beat Xie to death with sticks at every turn."
Murong Zhuo laughed loudly: "Thank you for your serious words, steward. Why bother to argue with those juniors? These people don't even bother to let the steward take action. They are not worthy at all!"
"Please!" Murong Zhuo said to Jiang Chao and Xie Menghai, and then personally led Jiang Chao and Xie Menghai into the main hall of the palace.
Although Duan Feilian received a cold reception, he was a member of the Lingshui Sect after all, and no one in the royal family dared to provoke him.
So he followed into the hall.
At this time, the hall of the palace was full of guests and friends. Seeing King Pingbei come in, everyone knelt down and said, "I have met the prince!"
King Pingbei was in a good mood: "Hahaha! You don't have to be polite, you are all my guests today, everyone, get up!"
After King Pingbei asked everyone to stand up, King Pingbei actually pulled Jiang Chao and Xie Menghai to the seats next to him and sat down.
This seat is a VIP seat, and people who are not of high status will never sit here.
Jiang Chao sat down, and Xie Menghai stood beside Jiang Chao honestly.
Murong Zhuo saw this and immediately understood Jiang Chao's status.
He also secretly praised Liu Cheng's approach.
I have to say that my butler is really good at handling things.
Today was just an accident. If Duan Feilian hadn't disrupted the situation, such an embarrassing situation would not have occurred.
Therefore, Murong Zhuo also felt resentful towards Duan Feilian.
He almost let himself miss a distinguished master of Wujue.
Seeing Jiang Chao sitting in the guest of honour's seat, Duan Feilian was filled with resentment.
He and Peng Jiuchao could only stand aside without even arranging their positions, which made him even more dissatisfied.
Peng Jiuchao had been studying with Master Mo. He lived in Wujueyuan and didn't understand the etiquette outside. But at this time, he could feel that King Pingbei didn't take him seriously at all.
Murong Zhuo smiled and made a grand introduction to everyone: "Everyone, please allow me to introduce the two distinguished guests today."
Xie Menghai calmly replied from the side: "Your Majesty, I am just a small steward. It would be inappropriate to say that you are a distinguished guest. There are too many differences between me and Master Tang, and it is difficult to compare with him."
Murong Zhuo was also stunned when he heard Xie Menghai's words.
He didn't expect Xie Menghai to lower his attitude so low in front of Jiang Chao!?
So, King Pingbei changed his words: "Yes, let me introduce today's distinguished guest, who is the newly promoted young genius, Master Tang from Wujue Academy!"
Grandmaster?
Duan Feilian was shocked.
He didn't expect that this unspectacular young man would turn out to be a martial arts master.
Peng Jiuchao stood up immediately. He bowed deeply to Murong Zhuo, and then said loudly in front of everyone: "Your Majesty! There are also all the adults and heads of the family. I have a question. Your Majesty said that the guest of honor today is Master Wujueyuan. But Wujue
There are rules in the academy. When attending formal occasions, the master must wear formal attire to show the identity and rank of Master Zhang Wujue."
"But this man is actually wearing coarse cloth and rags. Does this mean he looks down on the prince, or is he simply cheating!"
Murong Zhuo was speechless for a moment when he said this. In fact, he didn't understand. Since Jiang Chao is a master with a high status, why would he dress like this?
Could it be that there is really a hidden secret here?
However, Xie Menghai was not in a hurry. He stood up and said: "Master Wujue must wear formal attire when attending formal occasions at Wujue Academy or going to court. Your Majesty, today is a private banquet, so why should you dress?"
Duan Feilian snorted coldly: "Are you making excuses and saying you don't have any?"
Xie Menghai was also angry. He was about to retort when Jiang Chao looked at Duan Feilian and said, "You doubt me?"
"That's right! I suspect you are just a liar!" Duan Feilian accused Jiang Chao in public.
Jiang Chao confidently asked, "What will you do if I prove my identity?"
Duan Feilian laughed: "Haha, you are a master? What level can you be? You are lucky enough to reach the Gui level! However, this is the Xin level master!"
"Logically, you have to kowtow to him and apologize! But if you don't pretend to be Master Wu Jue, you will be executed immediately!"
"Hahaha! Okay! What if I am much taller than him?"
Duan Feilian was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Are you crazy? If you are really even one level higher than Master Peng, I will kowtow to you in public and admit your mistake! I will do whatever you say!"
Jiang Chao nodded and said to Murong Zhuo: "Your Majesty, please send someone to Wujueyuan to get my burqa for me. They know where my burqa is."
