The Sword God of the South

First Time Entering the Imperial Palace

Now, the three martial world figures had already arrived at the Imperial Palace. Even now, they were already inside that large and majestic meeting room.

There was no one there but them. The three were still waiting for the arrival of Emperor Song Kwi Bun. According to the servant who reported, the Emperor is currently still taking care of a matter. In a moment, he'll be here soon.

Zhang Fei, Yao Mei and the Shadowless Arak God were already seated on the seats provided. On the table were many dishes. Hard wine is certainly not missed.

During the wait for the Emperor's arrival, at least the three of them had already spent around one urn of wine.

Especially for Yao Mei, ever since she first entered the territory of the Imperial Palace, the beautiful girl had already been dazzled several times.

This was his first time to the Imperial Palace. So naturally when entering it, Yao Mei was truly amazed by the beauty and grandeur it presented.

"This room is truly magnificent" he exclaimed in excitement. "The paintings on the walls must also be of great value,"

Yao Mei continued to gaze at the various kinds of paintings installed on the walls of the room. He was really amazed, because all the paintings looked alive and very real.

All his life, it felt like just this time he had seen such a perfect painting.

"Each of these paintings is the work of a renowned artist and painter, Miss Mei. Besides, his age has also been very long. It might reach dozens, or even decades," the Shadowless God Arak told him.

The beautiful girl smiled as she nodded. After hearing the explanation from the Shadowless Arak God, his pair of eyes suddenly shone brightly. Like the star of the east at night.

"Well, it's worth it. I'm really proud to be able to see this incredible work in person,"

"It turns out you're not much different from me, Miss Mei," Zhang Fei said with a smile on his face.

"Why indeed?" ask the girl while looking.

"The first time I entered here, I was exactly like you, too" Zhang Fei smiled again. Seeing Yao Mei's attitude, he was completely reminded of himself.

Indeed, it used to be like that. Maybe even more than that.

But now, of course, it's no longer. Zhang Fei looked ordinary. Because if he wanted such paintings, just to talk and give orders, he would have gotten them.

"Indeed, everything in this Imperial Palace would amaze anyone. So it's no wonder Miss Mei behaves like that,"

Yao Mei suddenly laughed. After feeling satisfied, he said again, "It turns out that even a Military World Leader likes to act silly,"

"Haha ... The Chief of the martial world is also human. Sometimes, I do look like a fool, though,"

The meeting room was immediately filled with the sound of laughter. In that case, they also returned to eat dishes and toast.

"Be prepared! Soon the Emperor will come," said the Shadowless Arak God amidst their jokes.

Zhang Fei and Yao Mei instantly stopped joking. Both of them immediately took it seriously.

Right after that, suddenly the door opened. Followed later by the appearance of a luxurious robed man figure. The robe looked special, because there was also a golden thread embroidery there.

The changed man in question was none other than Emperor Song Kwi Bun! This number one person in the Song Empire!

Behind the Emperor, there were another two men whose age was roughly seventies. The two old men were wearing white robes. They also look good.

In addition to the three, there were another two tall, well-built men wearing all-red clothes. The two men had cold faces. The look in his eyes was as sharp as a sword, and out of his body came a murderous air that was so thick.

"Goodbye, Emperor. May the Emperor live a long life," Zhang Fei immediately bowed his body and saluted. The two people at his side instantly did the same.

Zhang Fei nodded. They immediately sat in their seats.

Before starting a more serious chat, as usual, they toast for a while. This is so that the situation there becomes not awkward.

In addition, toast was as if it had become a tradition that had been passed down. So it's very difficult to remove.

"Emperor, I'm sorry that we didn't obey the order written in the letter" Zhang Fei suddenly spoke.

"Eh, why, Chairman Fei?" The emperor looked confused. He asked as he looked at Zhang Fei with a question mark filled gaze.

"Look, in the letter, the Emperor requested that we both come," Zhang Fei continued his story, he took a quick glance towards the Shadowless Arak God. "But in reality, we lost three. For this, I'm really sorry,"

Finished saying so, Zhang Fei immediately got up and bowed. He really feels guilty.

If he is to be punished, he is ready.

But apparently, the response given by the Emperor was even beyond Zhang Fei's expectations. Emperor Song Kwi Bun was not angry. He immediately smiled softly.

"Chairman Fei, stop. You don't have to go overboard like this. After all, this is no big deal," the Emperor said, telling Zhang Fei to return to his seat.

After the Profound World Chief returned to his original position, the Emperor immediately continued on again. "If you may know, who is this Miss?"

"This lady is named Yao Mei. She is the only daughter of Master Yao Shi," Zhang Fei replied as he introduced Yao Mei.

The beautiful girl smiled towards the Emperor. He nodded as a gesture confirming Zhang Fei's words.

"Oh, so she's the daughter of the Claw of Death?"

"Yes, Emperor,"

Emperor Song Kwi Bun nodded his head several times. He also silently watched Yao Mei from top to bottom.

Although there were some things that made him curious, but the Emperor chose not to say them.

He had more faith in Zhang Fei. He is sure, the Head of the Military World will not carelessly bring people if they are not well known by him.

"Oh, okay. Welcome to the Imperial Palace, Miss Mei. Sorry for this incident" the Emperor told him.

Yao Mei immediately wavered. He was confused as to what to answer.

Indeed, he did not think that Emperor Song Kwi Bun turned out to have this kind of ethics. Whereas usually, he who occupies a high position likes to be arrogant and often look down on others.

But as it turned out, Emperor Song Kwi Bun was not like that. He's completely different than the others.

"Ah, thank you, Emperor. Sorry if my presence is disturbing. I think ... I better just go out," Yao Mei replied next to her mastery.

"No need, Miss Mei. You stay right here. After all, the matter to be discussed also still concerns all of us,"

"Oh, okay, Emperor. Thanks,"

The emperor answered with a smile. To melt the atmosphere in the room, they returned toast.
