Chapter 1114: Chapter 80: Great Emperor VS Shouzhe! Perilous Breakdown Chapter 1114: Chapter 80: Great Emperor VS Shouzhe! Perilous Breakdown …
In the Imperial Palace, Xi Yuan Lake.
This lake is roughly circular in shape, with its surface wide and its diater averaging a hundred miles. Seen from afar, it sowhat gives off a feeling of vast misty waves.
It resembles a bright pearl embedded within Return to Dragon City, yet it is confined within the massive walls of the Imperial Palace, serving as Emperor Longchang’s private “pond.”
Within the palace, there are lakes and mountains, indicating its vast scale.
The area around Xi Yuan Lake is extrely abundant with spiritual energy; such energy converges and forms visibly plausible spiritual fog. When blown by the wind, it creates patches of drifting ethereal mist on the surface of the lake, almost as if it were a celestial lake fallen to the mortal realm.
By the lakeside, terraces intimately connected with water are constructed, forming a majestic and grand complex that displays the grandeur of the Imperial Household.
Such a massive complex, nad “Lakeside Petite Estate,” shows how Emperor Longchang’s taste isn’t that remarkable.
Before the waterside pavilions,
dressed in casual clothes, Emperor Longchang was currently fiddling with an exquisite Luya Rod.
The long fishing line was cast far out, and with skilled movents, he made the lure twitch seductively, as if it were taunting the carnivorous Spirit Fish in the lake, “Co eat ~ Co eat .”
It was full of enticing implications.
Suddenly,
the tip of the rod dipped down.
“Got it!”
Emperor Longchang felt a thrill in his heart and yanked the rod fiercely, indeed catching a big fish.
He imdiately began reeling in the line joyfully.
“Your Majesty,” Old Yao approached with quick, short steps and reported softly, “Wang Shouzhe has already arrived and is waiting outside the estate. Should we summon…”
“Let him wait,” Emperor Longchang didn’t even lift his head, “I’m busy fishing.”
Old Yao inwardly rolled his eyes.
Your Majesty, you have eagerly been wanting to et Wang Shouzhe, even going so far as to hint repeatedly and explicitly, and after failing, you specifically ordered him to co “imdiately.” Now that he is here, you choose to make him wait… This might not be very appropriate.
“How so? As the great emperor, can’t I air him for a while when I’m displeased?” Emperor Longchang snorted coldly, “You’re not seeing what outrageous things he’s done? How much turmoil he stirred up… Even the Emperor’s son has been arranged by him. I really must thank him!”
“Now that he has entered the Imperial Palace, he’s like this fish hooked on bait; he’s food on my plate, unable to escape to the skies.”
“Considering what he has done to , it would have been generous of to not set hundreds of axen to ambush him.”
Emperor Longchang beca increasingly angry as he spoke, yanking the fishing rod forcefully. The result was too much force, and with a “snap,” the fishing rod, assembled from the Purple Spirit Bamboo tip, broke.
The big fish regained its freedom and imdiately leaped out of the water, zooming away several dozens of ters, then pulled the rod toward the bottom of the lake.
“This…” Old Yao’s mouth twitched, exclaiming, “Has Your Majesty’s cultivation base perhaps reached the level of ‘words manifest power’?”
“Uh…” Emperor Longchang’s mouth twitched as he turned and glared fiercely at Old Yao, “Old Yao, don’t presu upon having served for over a thousand years that I’d hate to slap you, and dare to act recklessly. Do you really think I don’t realize you’re mocking ?”
After saying this, without any visible action but rely a flick of his God Sense, he locked onto the Spirit Fish that had escaped hundreds of ters away.
Imdiately following, with a swirl and pull of his God Sense, the several-hundred-pound Spirit Fish was supported by an invisible energy and landed on the waterside platform.
The fish still had the fishing line in its mouth, flapping its tail, displaying a dazed expression as if wondering, “Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?”
That sight only angered the emperor more.
With a slight movent of his God Sense, he removed the hook from its mouth and then kicked it back into the lake with annoyance.
As an experienced fisherman, he naturally wouldn’t deign to eat a fish that he hadn’t caught by hand.
“Old Yao, summon that fellow Wang Shouzhe,” Emperor Longchang said with a frustrated face, “I must inquire why the Luya Rods produced by his family are of such poor quality that my fish got away.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Old Yao obeyed, internally chuckling as he went to summon Wang Shouzhe.
Before long, he returned with Wang Shouzhe and An Commandery Prince, who were accompanying him.
Seeing the emperor standing by the lakeside, silent and with a posture indicating “I don’t see you,” he couldn’t help but secretly smirk and nudge Wang Shouzhe with his eyes, “Wang Shouzhe, won’t you pay your respects to His Majesty?”
“I, Changning Rank Six Wang family Head Wang Shouzhe, pay my respects to Your Majesty,” Wang Shouzhe clasped his hands together, bending forward in a well-mannered and dignified bow.
An Commandery Prince, naturally, ntioned his own respectful greetings as required.
Only then did Emperor Longchang leisurely turn around and glance at Wang Shouzhe.
He observed Wang Shouzhe clad in a white robe, graceful and dignified, his bearing as gentle as a spring breeze, easily standing out as a striking presence.
In comparison, not to ntion the children of the Imperial Household, even the youngsters from the Great Qian Wang Clan known in Shangjing City for their looks and deanor appeared sowhat inferior to him.
“Hmm, he looks decent enough, and his deanor is fair. Quite rare indeed, no wonder he could father children like Li Yao and Zong’an,” Emperor Longchang reluctantly admitted, “He’s just slightly less impressive than in my younger days.”
“Thank you for the complint, Your Majesty. This servant is overwheld by your favor,” Wang Shouzhe responded, his expression calm and natural.
