Chapter 55: Old Man Qi Huang, I, Xu Yan, Have Arrived

Guo Yun opened his eyes wide in confusion, looking around in panic. He opened the window of his study and checked outside to make sure no one was eavesdropping before finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Dad, what's going on..."

Could it be that because they lost the battle for the crown prince, their whole family was going to suffer? Was the blow so great that it affected his father's sanity?

Guo Rongshan took a deep breath and finally calmed down a little.

But he still found it hard to believe.

The Third Prince kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times, calling himself his disciple. Moreover, Qi Huang openly declared that he would be his father for life after one day as his teacher. When did a prince ever become someone's disciple?

What's even more absurd is that he also became sworn brothers with Qi Huang!

Even more shocking, Qi Huang actually wanted to give Yun Fei to him. When did an emperor ever give a concubine to a minister?

Qi Huang didn't have a penchant for putting green hats on people!

Listening to his father's account, Guo Yun was completely dumbfounded, looking at his father with a skeptical gaze.

"Maybe it's not Qi Huang who's crazy, but my dad!"

Guo Yun thought sadly in his heart.

The Third Prince returned to the mansion in a daze, and his trusted advisor approached him.

"Your Highness, His Majesty urgently summons you. What is the matter?"

The Third Prince looked around, took a deep breath, and whispered to his advisor, "I suspect that Father has a mental illness!"

Advisor: ???

The Third Prince seemed off!

Qi Huang returned to his study and then ordered, "Issue an edict, appoint Guo Rongshan as the Qi King, Grand Elder of the Cabinet, and the Crown Prince's teacher..."

The Grand Tutor was no longer worthy of Guo Rongshan. Qi Huang directly appointed him as the Crown Prince's teacher!

The word "teacher" alone represented a high status.

"Issue an edict, appoint Guo Yun Kai as the Divine Authority Duke, commanding the Divine Authority Army..."

"Appoint the Ming Prince as the Crown Prince!"

The Ming Prince is the Third Prince!

Qi Huang issued a series of edicts, while also spreading the news of how Qi Huang honored the virtuous and humble, how the Ming Prince worshipped Guo Rongshan as his teacher, and how he humbled himself and became sworn brothers with Guo Rongshan.

The deeds of Guo Rongshan and the Guo family, who were loyal and devoted to the country and the emperor, were widely spread.

Guo Rongshan was portrayed as a loyal and patriotic man of high moral character, a sage and virtuous person.

The capital city was in an uproar!

The civil and military officials were all dumbfounded!

Has the Emperor gone mad?

Especially the Crown Prince and the ministers who supported him, it felt as if they had fallen from the sky and landed in a dung pit. The pain was indescribable.

The Third Prince was appointed as the Crown Prince!

Guo Rongshan was made a king!

Grand Elder of the Cabinet, the Crown Prince's teacher...

His son, Guo Yun Kai, was appointed as the Divine Authority Duke, commanding the Divine Authority Army!

There were also rumors circulating among the common people that Guo Rongshan had become a saintly and virtuous person, an imposing figure!

And the people involved, Guo Rongshan and his son, were also dumbfounded, with only one thought in their minds: "The Emperor has lost his mind..."

Countless officials submitted petitions and even remonstrated with death, causing chaos in the court.

All those who remonstrated were rewarded.

In the minds of the civil and military officials, there was only one thought: "The Emperor has gone mad..."

Until this day, two crimson dragons burst open the gates of the capital city.

A figure, surrounded by the crimson dragons, swooped towards the imperial palace.

A thunderous voice resounded, "Old Man Qi Huang, I, Xu Yan, have arrived!"

Xu Yan?

The entire court was stunned. Wasn't he Guo Rongshan's grandson?

It was rumored that his grandson's mind was not functioning properly, believing in the legends and seeking out experts to cultivate the true Martial Dao.

The courtiers looked up and saw a giant dragon appearing in the sky, its imposing presence shaking the four corners.

Instantly, their faces were filled with shock and horror.

In this world, there really exists such a powerful Martial Dao?

Is it really me, the one whose brain doesn't work properly?

In that instant, the courtiers all understood why Emperor Qi had done a series of absurd things, why he had tried so hard to please Guo Rongshan.

It was all because of Guo Rongshan's grandson, Xu Yan!

Emperor Qi looked at the giant dragon that appeared in the sky, tens of feet long, and his face turned green.

Although the Flying Eagle Order mentioned that Xu Yan's palms could summon a crimson dragon that was invincible, reading about it in words was one thing, witnessing it with one's own eyes and experiencing it firsthand was another.

He was almost scared to death.

He grabbed Guo Rongshan's hand beside him and his voice trembled, "Brother Guo, you have to talk to your grandson. I can't handle all this excitement with my old bones!"

Guo Rongshan also looked at Xu Yan flying over in mid-air and was dumbfounded. My grandson is actually this powerful?

In that instant, he suddenly understood that it wasn't Emperor Qi who had lost his mind, but it was because of Xu Yan's strength that he had made this series of seemingly absurd decisions!

At this moment, Xu Yan, with a formidable momentum, was coming to the imperial palace, undoubtedly to settle the score with Guo Rongshan on behalf of the Crown Prince's faction in East River County, which had angered his own grandson and caused him to come to the capital.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my grandson Xu Yan is a simple and kind child who won't do anything excessive!"

After understanding the reason, Guo Rongshan straightened his back and gained confidence.

Emperor Qi's mouth twitched. A simple and kind child?

Only you, Guo Rongshan, would say that!

"Why are you making such a big fuss, Yan? It wouldn't be good to disturb His Majesty!" Guo Rongshan beckoned to Xu Yan.

"Hmph!"

Xu Yan glanced at Emperor Qi beside his grandfather and snorted coldly. He pressed his palm down, and the two giant dragons merged into one, transforming into an even larger dragon.

With a loud crash, it smashed into the square outside the palace.

With a loud rumble, dust filled the air.

The trench created by the dragon almost split the square in half!

The courtiers trembled, the imperial guards trembled, and all the experts in the palace were sweating coldly.

"Grandfather!"

Xu Yan came to Guo Rongshan's side.

"Hahaha, Yan, you came just in time. Let me introduce you. This is the current Emperor, your grandfather's sworn brother!"

Guo Rongshan happily held Xu Yan's hand.

"Sworn brother?" Xu Yan looked at Emperor Qi in confusion.

Since when did his grandfather become sworn brothers with Emperor Qi?

If they were sworn brothers, then why were there corrupt officials daring to confiscate their property?

Emperor Qi forced a kind smile, devoid of any imperial majesty.

For the courtiers of Qi, this was a day when their worldview collapsed.

The legendary Martial Dao expert from the storybook actually appeared!

And, it turned out to be Guo Rongshan's outsider, the person who had been mocked as a fool!

In the end, the fool turned out to be me!

On this day, the people of the capital were greatly shocked. A divine figure rose with a dragon and rushed into the imperial palace.

"Emperor Qi is incompetent and a divine figure has come to destroy the Kingdom of Qi. The fate of Qi has come to an end. The brilliance of the Heavenly Mother shines upon all living beings, saving the people from fire and water, and rectifying the world..."

Suddenly, hidden followers of the Heavenly Mother sect jumped out, excitedly rushing towards the palace, ready to take advantage of the situation and rebel!

The common people were dumbfounded. How could there still be followers of the Heavenly Mother sect in the capital? When they saw an opportunity, they really dared to rebel!

As for Emperor Qi, he was not afraid of Xu Yan, so how could he fear the followers of the Heavenly Mother sect?

He was already holding his anger inside, and now he could vent it on this group of heretics. The imperial guards rushed out to capture and search for the followers of the Heavenly Mother sect.

The capital of Qi, and even the entire Kingdom of Qi, was destined to be restless because of Xu Yan's arrival.

Soon after, news of Xu Yan single-handedly sweeping through the Divine Might Army of ten thousand men in East River County also reached the courtiers. At this moment, they finally understood why Emperor Qi had made such absurd moves.
