The city guard asked the soldiers guarding the city to go from house to house to summon the people, dressed in red and green, to stand on both sides of the main road that had been cleaned spotlessly, waiting for Wang Dalu's arrival.
Thousands of golden warriors, who are only found in the inner city, were neatly separated on both sides. Even if the morning sun only showed a corner, the common people could see the golden armor on the warriors reflecting brilliantly.
When several maids in the villa came to Wang Dalu's room and planned to help Wang Dalu wash up, they caught up with Wang Dalu who had returned from practicing Xuanyang True Solution outside and absorbing the energy of the morning sun. They all felt suspicious.
Although the young man in front of him looked young and kind-hearted, the maids who had received many years of training did not dare to do anything inappropriate.
They are all specialized maids who serve the Grand Duke and the Grand Duke's wife in the inner city of the Duke's palace.
Yesterday I was ordered to come here to take care of the daily life of the prince in front of me. Also here was the Grand Duke's chef and a group of servants.
Wang Dalu picked up the brocade clothes and boots custom-made for him, smiled and said to several respectful maids.
"Can I ask some maids to change my clothes for me?"
Several maidservants saluted frequently, even saying they did not dare.
Wang Dalu asked about the situation of Ran Guang and Xia Feng again, and found out that there were also dedicated people there to wash themselves.
After finishing the arrangement, Wang Dalu looked at himself in the bronze mirror held by a maid and nodded with satisfaction.
This made several women feel relieved.
If Wang Dalu is dissatisfied, then they don't want to go back and continue to serve the Grand Duke. Maybe when Wang Dalu takes the lead, they will have to be punished by the internal officials.
When Wang Dalu came to the dining room surrounded by a group of servants, Ran Guang and Xia Feng had already sat down, and there were two maids serving breakfast beside them.
Seeing Wang Dalu coming, Ran Guang directly told some sects that people in the family believed that the imperial court was corrupt and that the worldly atmosphere was too strong for practice. This was not without some reason.
The three of them came here one night to go out to warm the sedan chair, with a group of servants, fine clothes and fine food. If things go on like this, those with weak determination will lose their will and cannot extricate themselves from this gentle fragrance.
Several people ate breakfast cooked by the inner city's royal chef, and their appetites grew unconsciously, so they all ate more than usual.
Seeing that there was still an hour before the promised time, the internal official whom he had seen at the gate of the inner city yesterday came to Bieyuan again and bowed to Wang Dalu.
"My grand duke and his ministers are already waiting for the prince in the Guanghe Hall in the inner city. Please invite the prince and the two adults to follow me into the city."
When the sedan chair that Wang Dalu was riding in appeared in the eyes of the welcoming people, it immediately aroused countless exclamations.
Seeing this, Wang Dalu couldn't help but think of the scene when he left Wolong City. He also wondered how everyone was doing now, and whether life was better than before after leaving the Li Guanghou Dynasty.
While Wang Dalu was in a daze, the sedan chair had already passed the inner city gate and headed straight for the Guanghe Hall.
After walking for more than half an hour, I heard the official next to the sedan.
"Get off the sedan!"
Wang Dalu, Ran Guang, and Xia Feng got off the sedan, and in front of them were about a hundred feet of white jade stone steps, covered with brand-new red silk, which stretched from their feet to where they couldn't see anything.
The official pointed to the stone steps ahead.
"Prince, please invite me. In front is Guanghe Hall."
When Wang Dalu and the others got off the sedan chair, Grand Duke Wu Zong and seventy or eighty civil and military officials in the Guanghe Hall were informed by waiters that Wang Dalu and his entourage were approaching.
Grand Duke Wu Zong sat high on a large chair made of gold. The seat on the left was empty, but on the seat on the right sat a noble and beautiful woman about forty years old, who was the Grand Duke's wife.
The two young women beside the Grand Duchess were the two people who appeared in Fuxian's residence yesterday.
The tall eldest daughter Wu Jing and the petite and exquisite youngest daughter Wu Yue.
The Grand Duchess held Wu Yue with one hand and whispered.
"Okay, I'll be here in a minute. How can you be so rude?"
The ministers standing below were also looking forward to it.
After a moment's effort, the servant guarding the palace door shouted loudly.
"The prince has arrived!"
When the voice fell, Wang Dalu appeared at the door of the palace and walked in immediately.
A faint exclamation of surprise could be heard among the ministers in the main hall. Most of them did not expect Wang Dalu to be so young.
Grand Duke Wu Zong and his wife stood up at the same time to welcome Wang Dalu's arrival.
When Wang Dalu sat on the chair to the left of Grand Duke Wu Zong, Grand Duke Wu Zong began to introduce everyone present to Wang Dalu, and also introduced his two sons and two daughters.
Liu Jiannan was also in the hall, looking at Wang Dalu, and they both smiled and nodded at the same time.
Among the ministers in the palace, Marquis Liu Xiahui was the happiest. Although the sons he gave birth to were all mediocre and unworthy of great achievements, luckily God was able to give him a grandson who was worthy of the title of Marquis.
Nowadays, the rise of Nanshan City in the Eastern Wasteland is unstoppable. His grandson can become friends with the master of Nanshan City. With this alone, the Liu family can enjoy wealth and wealth for generations to come without worries.
Seeing that Wang Dalu was so young and didn't pay any special attention to them, Wu Jing and Wu Yue thought that what Liu Jiannan said yesterday was absolutely correct.
Wang Dalu, who was talking and laughing freely in front of him, was indeed different from other young men from aristocratic families whom he had met before.
In the evening, Grand Duke Wu Zong held a large banquet in the palace to entertain Wang Dalu. He invited a hundred young female relatives to attend. He left with an excuse not long after the banquet, leaving his children and Liu Jiannan to accompany him in his place.
Ran Guang was sitting in the banquet, watching those famous ladies all making secret glances at Wang Dalu, making coquettish looks, and said with a smile.
"Boy Wang, I think the Grand Duke Wu Zong wants to find you a pretty wife."
Wang Dalu laughed dryly. Now he has no leisure and elegance to have fun.
The time agreed with Li Ziguang Houchao was approaching, and Grand Duke Hongxing didn't know when he would be released from seclusion, and he got into trouble with the extreme terrorist organization Tiansha.
Although Old Man Turtle has now helped to invite eight great monks to fill the shortage of highly skilled people in Nanshan City, this power is not an absolute advantage for the entire Eastern Wasteland.
In the entire Eastern Wilderness Continent, there are at least more than 200 great monks with the Mayfly cultivation level, not to mention the vast Middle Earth, which is the birthplace of the monks.
After drinking for a while, more than a dozen beauties led by the two princes of Wu Zong gathered around Wang Dalu. They kept toasting Wang Dalu and saying some boring words.
Wang Dalu looked at these young nobles and suddenly felt that his mentality had become old, as if he was in front of some urchins who were several years old and were joking.
During the dinner, Wu Yue proposed many times that he wanted Wang Dalu to show off his skills of Cloud Step and Chasing the Sun.
These two movements were performed by Wang Dalu at the cultivators' conference that day, making the cultivators envious and spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland.
A single movement technique is so wonderful that it is the dream of monks, let alone Wang Dalu who has learned both.
At first, the two young masters of Grand Duke Wu Zong laughed and said that this girl Wu Yue was a bit crazy.
However, unable to withstand Wu Yue's constant nagging and the expectations of the young ladies and gentlemen around them, the two young gentlemen whispered a few words to Liu Jiannan, hoping that Liu Jiannan would come forward and let Wang Dalu show off his skills so that everyone could feast their eyes on him.
When Liu Jiannan was in a dilemma, he saw Wang Dalu talking to several people.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I'm full and will go back first."
After saying that, Wang Dalu's body disappeared in an instant.
Everyone was startled and looked around hurriedly. Some sharp-eyed people saw that in the direction leaving the banquet, Wang Dalu's figure would appear every thirty or forty feet away, and then appear again at the next thirty or forty feet away, and so on.
It took five or six times before it completely disappeared.
Everyone who saw it was talking.
"Is this the chasing sun?"
Ran Guang took a sip of wine and said to everyone.
"You guys are making such a fuss, aren't you? It's night now, and Wang's sun-chasing technique is defective, so you won't be able to see it. If you use it on a clear day, you're guaranteed not to be able to catch a single shadow."
When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised and exclaimed.
Wu Yue saw that Wang Dalu had already disappeared and said in the direction.
"It's really rare to see chasing the sun. I just don't know how magical the cloud steps are."
When Ran Guang heard this, his drunken red face kept smiling and said to Wu Yue.
"Little girl, I want to see what's so difficult about Yun Bu. That young man Wang's Yun Bu was all taught by me."
Everyone saw Ran Guang holding a dark green wine gourd and could not stand still. They thought it was Ran Guang's silly words and they all laughed and didn't take it to heart.
At this time, Ran Guang was very happy that his Yunbu was so popular among the people, and he showed it off to others under the influence of his drunkenness.
Before everyone could stop laughing, four more Ran Guang suddenly appeared where he was standing, holding wine gourds and staggering unsteadily.
At night, Xia Feng, led by his attendants, came to rest next to Wang Dalu's residence.
Wang Dalu was meditating and practicing, and used his spiritual consciousness to detect that Xia Feng was the only one who came back drunk. He couldn't help but have some questions, so he came to Xia Feng's room to ask.
After asking, I found out that old man Ran was in great spirits today. He performed the Five Cloud Steps in front of those noble ladies. Wu Yue, the youngest daughter of Grand Duke Wu Zong, forcibly dragged him to her Yuehua Palace to rest. He insisted on worshiping her at all costs.
Old man Ran was his teacher and he learned the cloud steps from him.
