Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

The martial law in the Immortal Emperor Palace is extremely strict.

Even though everyone knew that the person living in the Immortal Emperor Palace was one of the most powerful people in the Tianchen Realm, Luo Fengmo still brought Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang, and only after going through numerous inspections were they allowed to enter the study in the side hall of the Immortal Emperor Palace.

At the palace gate, two guards wearing silver armor and holding spears blocked their way.

"Who is coming?!"

One of the guards was not intimidated by Luo Fengmo's identity at all and shouted sternly.

Luo Fengmo took a step forward and bowed.

"The Great Xuantian National Defense General Luo Fengmo, accompanied by the Second Princess Luo Lishang, and the independent cultivator Zhou Yiqiao, have come to pay respects to Your Majesty."

The guard did not say anything after hearing this. Half an incense stick of time had passed before a man's cold voice was finally heard from the hall.

"come in."

The two guards then made way and let the three people enter the study in the side hall.

Luo Fengmo brought Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang into the study, only to see a man in a black dragon robe sitting behind the desk, looking down at the memorials in his hand.

The man looked to be no more than thirty years old, and looked six points similar to Luo Lishang. He had a dignified appearance, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes, and he exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.

Although he was just sitting there quietly, he gave people a feeling of being out of reach, as if one would be tempted to worship him at first sight.

This is the Immortal Emperor of Daxuantian—Luo Fengtian!

After hearing the footsteps, Luo Fengtian said without raising his head.

"Fourteenth brother, you are finally back."

His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

Obviously, this powerful Lord of Daxuantian is not as glorious as he seems.

"I heard that you were driven out of the sect by Senior Wang on the first day you arrived at the Tijian Sect. It was delayed for three months until the deadline I gave you was about to come, and you finally returned to Daxuantian?"

Although Luo Fengtian's voice sounded tired and hoarse, there was a sense of majesty in his tone, which made people dare not neglect him in the slightest.

"Your Majesty, I acknowledge my guilt."

Luo Fengmo quickly knelt on the ground and said.

Luo Fengtian snorted coldly, as if he had no intention of forgiving this great general who defended the country.

"Father, Fourteenth Uncle was delayed because of my daughter's matter. Please forgive me."

Seeing this, Luo Lishang hurriedly stepped forward, knelt beside Luo Fengmo, and pleaded for Luo Fengmo.

Luo Fengtian raised his head and looked at Luo Lishang with a sharp gaze, and the anger in his eyes became even stronger.

"I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you still dare to plead for him?!"

Luo Lishang trembled when she heard this, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

The hall fell into silence for a moment. Luo Fengtian turned his gaze to Zhou Yiqiao, looked him up and down, and spoke after a long while.

"Are you Zhou Yiqiao?"

Zhou Yiqiao quickly bowed and saluted.

"It's down."

Luo Fengtian nodded slightly, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly spoke.

"I know that you and Li Shang are not sincere to each other. If you leave now, I can pretend that nothing happened and promise to protect you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three people in the room were shocked. Luo Fengmo, who had been kept in the dark from beginning to end, changed his expression and looked at Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang.

Seeing the panicked looks in the two people's eyes, he realized that what Luo Fengtian said was not false.

"Well, what do you think of my opinion?"

"You need to know that this is the last chance I give you. If you don't agree, and you regret it in the future, don't blame me."

There was almost no emotional fluctuation in Luo Fengtian's words, but somehow, Zhou Yiqiao felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was chilled.

"I......"

He opened his mouth and found that his throat seemed to be stuck. It took him a long time to squeeze out a word.

"Your Majesty, although the relationship between the princess and I was not entirely based on love, after going through so many ups and downs along the way, I have developed an inseparable bond with her."

"Although I am just a casual cultivator, I also know the meaning of loyalty and trust. Since I have promised to protect the princess, I will never give up halfway."

When Luo Fengtian heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his composure and said lightly.

"Oh? Are you willing to give up the way of life I gave you for her?"

Zhou Yiqiao closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, thinking that he had the Escape Jade given to him by Senior Wang.

"Yes, I appreciate your kindness, but I have made up my mind."

Luo Fengtian was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and slowly walked to Zhou Yiqiao, with a playful smile in his eyes.

He patted Zhou Yiqiao's shoulder gently, his voice low and meaningful.

"Your courage is commendable. I hope you won't regret your choice."

"Remember, the gate of my palace is not always open to you."

After saying that, Luo Fengtian turned around and sat back at his desk, picked up his pen and continued to review memorials, as if everything that had just happened was just an insignificant episode.

"Fourteenth brother, please get up."

"Now that you are back, prepare for the next matters."

"I heard that the border has been unstable recently. As a general guarding the country, you have a heavy responsibility."

"As for the two of you, go see Li Shang's mother first, and then I'll have Otomo take you to the accommodation that has been arranged."

Luo Fengmo quickly responded and left the study with Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang.

After the three people left, Luo Fengtian put down the pen in his hand, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

After a long while, he suddenly smiled and said to the empty space beside him.

"This child is really interesting. He is quite similar to you."

As Luo Fengtian finished speaking, a ripple suddenly appeared in the empty space he was looking at.

Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a mysterious robe, his appearance hidden under a hood, appeared beside Luo Fengtian.

This man exudes an indescribable aura from his entire body. This man exudes an indescribable aura from his entire body, as if he can control all living things.

And his eyes were like black holes, swallowing up everything and capturing souls!

He stared at Luo Fengtian with these eyes until the latter could no longer bear it and turned his head slightly, revealing a hint of triumph in his smile.

He just flicked his wrist and took out a set of luxurious chairs from the storage ring without hesitation. Without considering Luo Fengtian's attitude at all, he sat down in his study.

"Of all people, I feel most relaxed when I am with you."

"I'm afraid that in the current Tianchen Realm, you are the only one who dares to sit in front of me casually."

The pressure on his body finally disappeared, and Luo Fengtian said with a slight sense of relief.

The mysterious man heard this and responded with a smile.

"Of all the old guys, I feel most relaxed only with you."

"Perhaps it's because you are the youngest among all of you, or maybe you have the heaviest burden and the most complicated thoughts, so I find you particularly interesting."

Luo Fengtian smiled bitterly and said.

"This burden is too heavy, it makes me breathless."

"Sometimes I really wish I could be like my fourteenth brother, who only needs to think about going into battle and killing the enemy, without any restrictions."

The mysterious man sneered.

"Humph, Luo Fengtian, do you know how many people envy your current status? You don't know how lucky you are."

Luo Fengtian shook his head and said.

"I don't deserve this blessing."

"If you need it, I can issue an edict right now and give you the position of Immortal Emperor."

"I believe that with your strength, there won't be any opposition."

The two great men, whose combined age was unknown, were now bickering like children, talking back and forth in the study room, and the atmosphere was inexplicably relaxed.

The mysterious man waved his hand, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his tone was a little serious.

"Forget it, there's no point in talking about this. I came to you this time to discuss something important."

"During his time in Tiansheng City, Zhou Yiqiao will encounter a lot of trouble. I don't ask you to help him solve every problem, but you must ensure his safety."

Hearing this, Luo Fengtian laughed and nodded.

"Before you came, Senior Wang from the Tijian Sect had sent me two letters in a row, also mentioning this matter and asking me to take good care of Zhou Yiqiao."

"Don't worry, as long as I, Luo Fengtian, am still in Tiansheng City, Zhou Yiqiao will not be in danger of his life."

The mysterious man seemed to trust Luo Fengtian very much. Hearing this, he just nodded slightly, and then his figure disappeared into the void again, as if he had never appeared, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering in the study.

Luo Fengtian looked at the place where the mysterious man disappeared. A complicated look flashed in his eyes. Then he sighed lightly and continued to bury his head in the memorials on the desk.

However, his mind was no longer entirely focused on those tedious state affairs, but drifted to Zhou Yiqiao, Luo Lishang and others from time to time.

On the other side, Luo Fengmo brought Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang to the imperial mausoleum of Daxuantian to pay homage to Luo Lishang's mother who had passed away long ago.

Inside the imperial mausoleum, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. The sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, dappled on the stone steps, bringing a hint of imperceptible warmth to this gloomy place.

Luo Fengmo walked in front with steady steps, followed closely by Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang. The footsteps of the three echoed in the empty mausoleum, adding a sense of loneliness.

There were tears in Luo Lishang's eyes and he looked extremely depressed.

Zhou Yiqiao wanted to speak out to comfort them, but he heard Luo Fengmo in front of them explaining without even turning his head.

"This imperial mausoleum is built entirely of acacia stone. Anyone who enters this mausoleum, as long as they have relatives buried here, will involuntarily recall the deepest thoughts in their hearts. Little friend Zhou, there is no need to persuade them."

As he spoke, Zhou Yiqiao saw Luo Fengmo carrying two people on his back, and he seemed to raise his hand to wipe his eyes.

Seeing that even a powerful person like Luo Fengmo couldn't resist the influence of the Acacia Stone, Zhou Yiqiao had no choice but to remain silent.

After a while, the three finally arrived at the tomb of Luo Lishang's mother.
