Myriad Realms Summoning System

"I didn't realize it! I didn't know you had such a strong side. I didn't know it before."

In Long Xue's palace, all the servants had been dismissed, leaving only Xiao Chen and Long Xue.

At this moment, the two of them sat calmly on both sides of a table. Long Xue held her cheek with her hands, smiling from beginning to end, looking gently at Xiao Chen opposite her.

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Long Xue smiled and said, "I have always been like this! It's just that you haven't noticed it."

Long Xue is not a cunning person. On the contrary, because of her unparalleled talent in cultivation, she is very proud and always does things directly.

But when facing Xiao Chen, there was an exception. Long Xue never showed any strong side in front of him again, and was always as gentle as water.

Xiao Chen gently scratched her nose and said, "Long Nan is your second brother. Isn't it a bit too much to treat him like this? If it's because of me, then there's no need to punish him. I'm fine anyway."

Long Xue frowned, then shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Although Long Nan is my second brother, we don't have the same mother. My mother is the former queen, and Long Nan's mother is Concubine Qiao."

Which emperor doesn't have three palaces and six courtyards? Long Bufan is no exception. He has more than a dozen children, but no two of them have the same father and mother. Therefore, Long Xue has no feelings for Long Nan.

Xiao Chen was still a little worried and said, "I heard that Long Nan is a strong candidate for the next emperor. If you treat him like this, your father will probably be embarrassed!"

Long Xue said with some disdain: "Although my father is incompetent, he has been the emperor for many years. There is absolutely no way he would allow Long Nan to succeed to the throne."

Long Nan's mother, Concubine Qiao, came from the Qiao family, one of the top ten families. Therefore, the Long and Qiao families have close ties, which is why the Qiao family dared to confront Xiao Chen and vowed not to submit to him.

It is precisely because Concubine Qiao is favored in the harem and has the support of the Qiao family behind the scenes that the second prince performed prominently in the struggle for the throne. Many ministers in the court also supported him, but his ability was indeed questionable.

In terms of martial arts talent, the eldest prince Long Bei is much better than him. In terms of political ability, he is only ranked in the middle among the princes. How can such a person be worthy of the important responsibility of the emperor of the Iron-Blooded Dynasty?

Therefore, Long Xue asked Long Bufan to completely cut off Long Nan's right to inherit the throne without any pressure.

Looking at Long Xue's resolute look, Xiao Chen could only mourn for Long Nan in silence and feel sorry for his brother-in-law.

At this time, Long Xue said with some dissatisfaction: "I said that you have finally come to Canglong City, don't you want to talk to me about something else? You actually talked about these boring things."

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned, looking at Long Xue sitting there, with a sly smile on his face.

…

In the imperial study of the palace, Long Bufan sat on the golden dragon throne, with the commander of the guards kneeling in front of him.

Long Bufan is over 500 years old this year, but he looks only in his 50s. His cultivation is not very high, only a three-star Martial King, but he is extremely majestic.

Warriors have long lifespans, so Long Bufan didn't think about having children in his early years. It wasn't until he was nearly five hundred years old and was sure that he had no future in martial arts that he started to crave children.

So when he was nearly five hundred years old, the eldest prince Long Bei was only less than thirty years old.

Long Bufan put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Are you sure that Xiaoxue said that the young man is her man?"

The guard nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, hundreds of guards were listening at the time."

Long Bufan waved his hand, asking him to leave, and then he said as if talking to himself: "An, do you know the identity of this young man?"

As he finished speaking, a low voice came from a dark corner of the imperial study.

"Xiao Chen, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, rose to prominence like a comet six months ago. He unified the Northern Territory in just one month, forcing the Human Emperor Palace out of the dynasty. He is suspected to have several Martial Honor Realm experts under his command."

After hearing An's words, Long Bufan showed a hint of surprise on his face. He neglected state affairs and didn't know that such a person had appeared in the dynasty in the past six months, and had a close relationship with Long Xue.

Long Bufan said angrily, "I knew Long Nan wouldn't achieve great things, but I didn't expect him to be so foolish as to provoke such a person. Go and pass on the imperial decree that this dynasty martial arts competition will be organized by the Fifth Prince. Long Nan is under house arrest and cannot leave the palace without the imperial decree."

After An left the imperial study, Long Bufan narrowed his eyes and murmured, "There are several Wu Zun subordinates. If Xiaoxue can really subdue him, the Long family will..."

…

"Is the second one out?"

At the residence of the eldest prince Long Bei, Long Bei, who was feeding fish by the fish pond, put down the fish feeder in his hand.

A maid said, "Yes, the emperor personally issued an imperial decree to imprison him."

In the history of the Iron-Blooded Dynasty, there has never been a prince who was imprisoned and was able to inherit the throne in the end.

Long Bufan's move was equivalent to telling everyone in disguise that Long Nan had lost the right to inherit the throne.

Long Bei sat down at the stone table, picked up the teacup and took a sip. He said, "It seems that Ninth Sister's words still carry a lot of weight. Even Father gave her enough respect."

The servant laughed and said, "Young Master Xiao Chen is truly blessed to have been favored by the Ninth Princess. I wonder how many of the young talents in the dynasty will be heartbroken now."

Long Bei said indifferently: "That is because Xiao Chen is capable and can bring all the ten major families under his control. He is indeed qualified to be my Ninth Sister. Please prepare a gift for me and send it to my Ninth Sister. It doesn't have to be too generous, nor too insignificant, just appropriate."

Long Bei not only has a high talent in martial arts, but is also a very smart person. He knows that when it comes to people like Xiao Chen, there is no need to deliberately get close to them. It is better to keep a proper distance, otherwise it will only make the other party more disgusted.

Anyway, Long Nan is finished, and his chances of seizing the throne have reached 80%, so there is no need to provoke Long Xue and Xiao Chen too much at this time.

…

Qiantian Sect, Sword Peak!

Fengyu, the number one genius of Qiantian Sect, flattened the small mountain opposite with one sword, and then put the sword back into the scabbard.

He muttered to himself, "The Dynasty Martial Arts Competition is finally about to begin. Xiao Chen, let's settle all our old and new grudges at the competition. Long Xue will definitely be mine."
