Chapter 302 Entering the Palace
"I haven't been back for several years, and Xingluo City has changed a lot."
Just after passing through the gate of Xingluo City, Wang Xing looked around and marveled at the increasing number of soul guides around him.
The Xing Luo Empire's acceptance of soul guides has always been relatively high, coupled with the continental war a few years ago. Although it cannot be compared with Gengxin City where Wang Nan is located, which vigorously promotes soul guides, it has also undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before.
Apart from iconic buildings like Xingluo Plaza, other places have gradually become something else.
“I wonder if our yard is still there.”
"Of course they are." Wang Nan smiled at his parents who were constantly looking around. He wanted to come to Xingluo City to meet Emperor Xu Jiawei. It happened that his parents had not been back here for a long time, so he simply took them back to the original courtyard to take a look.
"Nan'er, don't you have to go see His Majesty later? You go first, we can go there by ourselves." Mother She Yu said with some concern.
"It's okay, mom. Yuhao just went to Shrek City to pick up his mother. When he comes back, we can go there together."
"That's good, as long as it doesn't delay your business."
After all, the mother is not a soul master. Although most of the people around her have cultivation, she roughly understands that Wang Nan’s cultivation is indeed very high, but she cannot fully understand what Wang Nan’s current strength means.
Even the Emperor of the Xing Luo Empire had to be polite when meeting him. There were far fewer rules for him to follow when meeting the Emperor than for ordinary people.
Walking along the street, the three of them soon arrived at the place where Wang Nan lived when he was a child. Although he had not been back for several years, there was not much change in the yard except for some dust and debris.
Traces of soul guides can be seen in several surrounding courtyards, but there has been no reconstruction like in other places, and the scene outside the courtyard gate seems to be the same as before.
I came to the backyard with my parents, and a shallow pit was clearly visible near a corner.
"Nan'er, do you still remember this?" Wang Xing took two steps forward and smiled as he looked at the shallow pit in the yard.
"Of course I remember." Wang Nan's smile became even more intense.
It was the first time he had obtained a spirit ring, and when he was sparring with his father, the Panlong stick fell on the ground and made a hole. Although his father quickly filled the hole, the repaired hole was not as good as the original one. As time passed, the traces here gradually became apparent.
"You, kid, have been very hardworking since you were young. You are completely different from your father." She Yu also looked towards the yard with a smile. A small figure practicing with a stick seemed to appear in front of him again.
"By the way." Wang Xing looked up at Wang Nan.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"When you go to see His Majesty later, mention our courtyard. I saw it when I came here. His Majesty is determined to promote soul guides. Even the palace is different from before. This area can still retain its previous appearance. It should be for your sake."
Wang Xing is a spirit master after all, so he knows a little about the influence of the Extreme Douluo. He looked around again and then slowly said, "We won't live here anymore. We can't let our family affect the development of the entire Xingluo City. After living in Gengxin City for a long time, I also think it would be nice to add some spirit guides and other decorations here."
Wang Nan glanced at his father Wang Xing and nodded slightly, "I know, I will mention it when the time comes."
As he was speaking, Wang Nan's expression suddenly changed.
"Is that the kid you mentioned here? Go and do your business. Your dad and I will take a walk around here."
The change in Wang Nan's expression naturally did not escape the eyes of his mother She Yu. She looked at Wang Nan and spoke very gently.
"Okay. By the way, Yuhao will bring his mother over later. Let her stay here for a while." "You already told me that when we set out. We still remember it."
As they were talking, two figures appeared at the gate. Wang Nan looked up and saw a woman in her forties standing next to Huo Yuhao. Although she was over forty and her face showed traces of time, she still looked like she was young.
"Brother Wang!"
Huo Yun'er, who was beside Huo Yuhao, also looked at Wang Nan. She had heard about this man who had saved her life from Huo Yuhao countless times, but this was the first time she had seen him in person.
Although she did not sense any majestic aura from Wang Nan, Huo Yun'er also knew that Wang Nan was the Duke of the Xingluo Empire, and she pretended to salute when she saw Wang Nan.
However, before she could make any move, She Yu stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "You must be Yu Hao's mother."
She Yu smiled and looked back at Wang Nan, "Let the children talk about their own affairs, we will go around the city."
“Mom, let’s wait until Brother Wang and I come back, then we’ll go back.” Huo Yuhao on the side also spoke.
Huo Yun'er lowered her head slightly and looked at everyone, finally her eyes fell on Wang Nan's smiling face, then she nodded slightly.
Although she had left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion for a long time, Huo Yun'er had grown up as a maid and there were still some habits she had not completely changed.
"Brother Wang."
"Let's go to the palace."
……
Although Wang Nan was the Duke of the Xingluo Empire, he had rarely entered the palace to meet the emperor.
In fact, it's not just him. All the worshippers in the Temple of Worship enjoy the title of the Star Luo Empire, but except for carrying out missions, they are rarely seen on weekdays. Most of them take the initiative to meet the emperor to make requests.
Therefore, when Xu Jiawei heard that Wang Nan wanted to see him, he immediately put down what he was holding, looked through some things about Liujin Province and Gengxin City, and finally called Xu Jiujiu to confirm that no one had offended Wang Nan. Only then did he get ready and wait for Wang Nan's arrival in the study.
"His Majesty."
When Wang Nan and Huo Yuhao came to the study, stood still and bowed, Xu Jiawei also stood up from his seat.
“Duke Qitian. This must be Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy.”
“That’s right.” Huo Yuhao responded.
“Please take a seat, both of you.” Xu Jiawei gestured to Wang Nan and Huo Yuhao to sit at the table. He did not return to the desk, but sat opposite Wang Nan, at the same level as him.
Even the Duke of White Tiger, who was on good terms with Xu Jiawei, had not enjoyed such treatment since he became emperor. He made such a gesture only because he knew Wang Nan's strength from Xingluo Douluo.
Ever since Xingluo Douluo returned from Jialing Pass a few years ago and resigned from the position of Lord of the Worship Hall, he has been in seclusion ever since.
Before he went into seclusion, when talking about what happened in Jialing Pass and evaluating Wang Nan's strength, he only said four words: invincible.
