Colonial Suit

There are no emperors in the Emperor's Manor.

Everyone knows this. The reason it's called the Emperor's Manor is because its owner made great contributions when the dynasty was founded and was granted the title of 'Parallel King' by the first emperor. He was never suspected by any emperor. The saying 'A country cannot have two rulers, nor can the sky have two suns' simply doesn't apply here.

Of course, this is also because the owner of the Emperor's Manor never participates in state affairs. In fact, since the dynasty was established, he has only attended court a handful of times and never associates with court officials. He only wants to be a carefree king, as free as a celestial being.

However, in the common world, there are many legends about this Parallel King. Some say he is eight feet tall with an eight-foot waist. He possesses the power to move mountains and overturn seas, capable of fighting against ten thousand men alone, capturing generals and seizing flags with ease. Others say that he received teachings from immortals when he was young, learning mysterious and powerful immortal techniques, which is why even the emperor doesn't dare to harm him. And because of his immortal arts, he is immortal and has no interest in worldly power.

There are many different rumors, but one thing is certain: the owner of the Emperor's Manor has existed since the dynasty was first established and has not died to this day. His lifespan is truly endless, which is astonishing.

People always hold things they cannot understand in awe. Therefore, this Parallel King has become an existence that everyone looks up to. Although he rarely appears, he has earned the respect of the entire dynasty.

At this moment, how could Qiu Ye not be surprised and lose her composure when she suddenly heard that the Emperor's Manor wanted to summon Blood瞳 and the others?

She stared blankly in a certain direction outside the window, and after a while, she turned her head to look at Blood瞳, her expression complicated.

The teacup rolled at her feet, slowly coming to a stop.

"Since... it is the Parallel King's invitation, then please go immediately, guests. I won't keep you any longer. Xiao Qing, see the guests out."

The door opened, and a delicate little maid walked in, gesturing for Blood瞳 and the others to leave. Blood瞳 frowned, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Qiu Ye.

"That Parallel King..."

"The Parallel King is not someone I can discuss," Qiu Ye interrupted Blood瞳, saying urgently. "You just need to go."

Qiu Ye's face was a little pale when she said these words. It was understandable. She was just a courtesan in a brothel who invited Blood瞳 and the others up out of curiosity, but she didn't expect to attract the Parallel King's attention. Although the Parallel King doesn't care about worldly affairs, he is, after all, a figure who is on equal footing with the emperor. How could a small figure at the bottom of society like her come into contact with him? To put it bluntly, if she said too much, people from the Court of Education might come knocking on her door later. By then, it would be too late to cry.

Looking at Qiu Ye's troubled expression, Blood瞳 was silent for a while, then smiled slightly. He picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

The tea was a little bitter, but it left a lingering fragrance, invigorating Blood瞳's spirit. Then he stood up, bowed to Qiu Ye, and walked out of the room without looking back.

A row of carriages was already waiting downstairs. They were all decorated extremely luxuriously, completely different from the common carriages on the road. A line of guards stood straight beside the carriages, saluting in unison when they saw Blood瞳 and the others appear. Then they opened a path.

Blood瞳 and Robbie and the others boarded the first carriage and headed in a certain direction.

The carriage was extremely luxurious, with a thick velvet carpet on the floor. There were also many delicate small ornaments hanging around. Robbie looked at the scenery outside the window and said to Blood瞳 after a while, "What do you think of this Parallel King?"

"Guardian," Blood瞳 replied readily, also looking at the crowd outside the window, his face as calm as still water.

"It's only been fifteen minutes since we entered this place. With the level of civilization here, news won't spread so quickly. And no one would be interested in us so quickly. Then there is only one possibility, that is, he already knows who we are and is waiting for us."

"Only a guardian fits this condition."

"But where is the altar?" Robbie pointed outside. "I just tried to use my mental senses to explore, and this is a big city, and there are no obvious altar-like buildings. If this Parallel King is a guardian, then where is he hiding the altar?"

"Who knows?" Blood瞳 shrugged his shoulders, but he wasn't nervous at all. "Anyway, we'll know when we see him later. The environment here is not bad. I remember you wanted to relax? That Qiu Ye just now was very good. With your personality, do you want to pay attention to her? Talk about faith, talk about life?"

"I'm not in the mood to relax at this time," Robbie said with a wry smile. "Also, please don't insult my faith. I have principles."

Blood瞳 smiled without saying a word.

On the other hand, little Bosie pouted and said, "Brother Robbie is the best at pleasing girls. Brother Blood瞳 is better."

Mia nodded repeatedly while chewing on a biscuit, with an expression of agreement.

Robbie's face immediately turned bitter, and he lowered his head helplessly. The joyful laughter of the twin siblings echoed in the carriage, quickly fading away…

Ten minutes later, Blood瞳 and the others arrived at a vast manor. This place was in the northwest corner of the city, which was relatively quiet. The manor occupied a vast area, like a city within a city. In the manor's garden, Blood瞳 saw the Parallel King.

A man with delicate features wearing a long robe.

He saw that a shuttlecock game was going on in the garden. Several beautiful and youthful girls were jumping and kicking, like butterflies fluttering. He was lying on the only soft couch in the garden, watching. From time to time, he would pick up the wine pot next to him and take a sip. Beside him, several luxuriously dressed women were curled up like Persian cats, offering him various foods with their delicate white fingers.

What an enjoyable fellow. Blood瞳 frowned, making a judgment in the first moment.

He could not see any threat from this man. It was as if the other party was just an ordinary person. But Blood瞳 knew that this was absolutely impossible. Because the moment he stepped into the garden, the man's gaze had already been cast over. A faint smile appeared on his delicate face.

"You're here? Sit."

Following his voice, several beautiful maids brought flower stools for Blood瞳 and the others to sit on. As for Blood瞳's exclusive warriors, they stood silently aside, silently facing the manor's guards.

"Do you know who I am?" After sitting down, Blood瞳 asked directly, without any intention of being polite.

The delicate man smiled, put his finger to his lips to make a 'shh' gesture, and said softly, "Don't be loud, okay? Don't you think the environment here is very good? Those girls are working hard to perform for us, so we should show some respect. So, enjoy it, this is a rare enjoyment. I still went to the capital to find so many shuttlecock girls."

"…………" Blood瞳 was speechless. After being silent for a while, he followed what the delicate man said and turned his gaze to the field…Welcome you to , your support is my greatest motivation.)
