Chapter 320 - This Power! (1/2)

Ou Yangming and Wu Hanning sat opposite each other in a s.p.a.cious and luxurious carriage. They barely communicated ever since they entered the carriage.

Although the thick-faced Ou Yangming greeted the princess, he did not receive any response.

If Ou Yangming was faced with someone else —even if it was Bai s.h.i.+xue, who had the Body of Cham-he would have spoken bluntly to that person. However, the young fellow was reminded of red and green clothes whenever he looked at Wu Hanning, so he naturally lacked confidence.

The carriage finally stopped after a long journey.

Ou Yangming secretly sighed a breath of relief because the awkward and unbearable atmosphere was going to end.

After he left the carriage with Wu Hanning, he looked around and noticed towering walls from the inside, which was when he realized they had entered the imperial palace.

Wu Hanning turned to look at Ou Yangming, and she finally spoke for the first time since they entered the carriage.

“Be careful.”

Ou Yangming was stunned, and his eyelids twitched. ‘She asked me to be careful. What does that mean?’

Nonetheless, when Ou Yangming fixed his gaze at Wu Hanning, the n.o.ble princess looked away as though she was not the one who spoke.

Ou Yangming frowned and continued to follow Wu Hanning inside, but countless thoughts crossed his mind.

“Judging from Wu Hanning’s status, she won’t speak without thinking; there must be a reason she gave me that reminder.

‘But it’s impossible for the imperial family to scheme something against me.’

After all, Ou Yangming had just gotten the limelight at the Myriad Treasure Meet. The birth of 26 Supreme Great Ancestors was enough to change the Humans’ fate. As long as not everyone from the imperial family went crazy, they would not harm or trouble the young fellow.

He suddenly thought of a possibility.

Perhaps he offended someone influential from the imperial family by wanting to promote the upgrade of affordable weapons.

Nevertheless, it also seemed quite unbelievable if the imperial family wanted to go against him because of that.

Ou Yangming thought about various possible scenarios, but none of them made sense.

Before long, Wu Hanning slowed down and stopped in front of a flowerbed.

The young fellow was dumbfounded, and he felt strange when he looked at the surroundings. “Your Royal Highness, is this… His Majesty’s residence?”

The environment was marvelous, especially the flowerbed, which was carefully taken care of. Despite that, the only buildings around were low single-story houses, thus Ou Yangming found it hard to believe that a country’s ruler resided here.

Wu Haning looked deeply at him and pointed at the door in front of them. “You’ll find out once you go in.”

Ou Yangming responded after some thought, “Okay, please lead the way, Your Royal Highness.”

It would be fine if it was a blessing, but if it was a curse, he would not be able to hide from it anyway.

Since he was already here, he might as well be bold instead of trying to hide.

Needless to say, Ou Yangming was able to think that way because he knew he would unlikely be in huge danger, or he would have escaped even if he was in the imperial palace.

The young fellow went forward and placed his hand on the door for a brief moment before he pushed it open.

His eyes glowed strangely all of a sudden.

This was because he realized he could not clearly see the view inside.

Given Ou Yangming’s cultivation base and vision, he could only spot some blurry items even when he looked closely. It seemed like everything became mysterious as it was being masked by a certain power.

Ou Yangming turned around in shock and looked at Wu Hanning.

Her Royal Highness nodded and reminded him once more, “Be careful.”

This time, Ou Yangming understood what she meant. She was not alerting him of lurking dangers, it was more like a friendly hint.

Ou Yangming turned around and entered without any hesitation.

‘Maybe I’ll be given a test inside? I probably have to pa.s.s the test to meet the supreme man in the Wu Dynasty.’

The moment he entered the door, he felt a faint obstruction. It was not strong, but the fact that the power appeared out of nowhere in the void was surprising.

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up after he entered.

He was greeted with a field.

Yes. Amidst the row of houses deep inside the palace laid a boundless field.

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth, and he did not know what to feel.

He looked around to scan the field, but his neck was suddenly turned in a certain direction. Due to the huge force and the speed, he almost twisted his neck.

An elder with a bamboo hat was seen working in the field.

As compared to the field size, the elder’s lonely figure appeared to be tiny, making him look miserable and pitiful.

Even so, Ou Yangming’s eyes were bright and he was alarmed.

He was sure he did not see the elder earlier. In a way, the elder had shown up without warning through a miraculous method.
