The imperial city, in the center, there is a vast palace, unparalleled in its grandeur and majesty.

  The outer perimeter of the palace was heavily guarded, with soldiers constantly on the move. Compared to the outer perimeter of the imperial city, the guards were unknown how many times more severe.

  This place is the center of the Imperial City, and also the power center of Snow Moon Country. It's where the imperial family of Snow Moon resides, the imperial palace.

  It is said that within this palace, there are 8,100 checkpoints. Only by passing through these layers of checkpoints can one enter the true core of the palace.

  However, at this moment, a figure was moving back and forth in the palace, walking steadily as if on ordinary streets, and no one blocked his way despite the heavy guard.

  He was dressed in black, with a clear and angular face. Although he was young, he gave people a steady and stable feeling like a mountain.

  Through the heavy curtains, a man in black came to a pond. Beside the pond stood an ancient pavilion, where a figure sat on the stone bench, holding a fine bamboo rod and fishing quietly.

  This figure wore a simple white shirt, with a gentle complexion, about twenty years old, similar in age to the man in black, sitting casually, but giving people an unfathomable feeling.

  The man in black walked behind him and stood quietly there without saying a word.

  A moment later, the fisherman's hand shook, and a silver thread drew a beautiful arc, a jin-heavy fish fell into the bamboo basket beside him, and a faint smile also appeared on his face.

  "Come on, Nanshan, sit down."

  The young man turned his head and looked at the black-clad man with a gentle smile.

  "Your Highness."

  Nan Shan slightly bowed his head towards the young man, but did not sit down. The young man also didn't force him to.

  "Nanshan, you haven't been here for a few days, is there something new this time?"

  "Hmm." Nanshan nodded slightly and said: "Your Highness, Da Peng Gongzi and Luo Xue Gongzi have both arrived."

  "The Snow Moon Holy Institute is about to be established, and it's not surprising that the two of them have come to the Imperial City at this time. I think, if it were just that, you definitely wouldn't have made a special trip here."

  The smile on the young man's face was still warm and gentle, but in those gentle eyes, there was a hint of wisdom that pierced through everything.

  "Your Highness is indeed wise and knowledgeable. Today at the Qingxin Wine House, I encountered another interesting event on Nanshan, and also met two interesting people."

  "Qingxinjiulou is indeed a great place to go, Nanshan. Qingxin isn't young anymore, when do you plan on marrying her? I'm willing to be the matchmaker for you."

  The young man seemed uninterested in what Nanshan said, but brought up the matter of Nanshan.

  The man in black felt a surge of gratitude in his heart, and secretly admired the lord, who always managed to touch people's hearts unintentionally, making them genuinely feel his kindness.

  Qing Xin was the kind of woman he liked, and if a young man were to propose to her, no matter how illustrious the other family might be, she would not refuse. Even with Nan Shan's strong willpower, he couldn't help but be moved by her simple words.

  However, Nanshan knew this was not the time to talk about his own affairs.

  "Your Highness, today at Qingxin Wine House, Duan Yu went to cause trouble, but instead met a 16-year-old young man who slapped her in the face."

  "Hmm?" The young man smiled slightly and said, "Indeed it's an interesting thing. In the outer city, there are not many people who dare to slap a member of the Duan family. That old man Duan Lie must be furious. Qing Xin should also not stand by and do nothing."

  "As Your Highness had expected, it happened at the Qingxin Tavern. Qingxin couldn't just stand by and do nothing, and Duan Lie also went there. However, in the end, they were all powerless to stop it. The entire tavern was torn down, including me, your subordinate, who barely escaped with my life."

  Nan Shan smiled wryly, and the young man's interest grew thicker, joking: "A master of the Xuanwu realm, a 16-year-old youth, it shouldn't be possible, whose son is he?"

  "Your Highness may be mistaken this time. The person who made the move indeed has the strength of the Xuanwu realm, but it is a woman, a very beautiful and young woman, wearing a veil, unknown identity. As for that young man, he is indeed a disciple of a certain family, but absolutely not what Your Highness thought."

  Nan Shan deliberately teased, making the young man laugh: "Nan Shan, you've actually learned to drop hints like me too. But that woman in the Xuanwu Realm, not even you can find out her identity?"

  "Can't find any information, never had even a hint of news about her, but I think, Your Highness would be more interested in that young man."

  "Oh?" A hint of curiosity flashed in the young man's eyes. The youth who was stronger than a Xuanwu Realm cultivator and more interesting to him?

  "What's his name?"

  "Lin Feng, Double Wood Forest, Maple Leaf's Feng." The man in black replied.

  "Lin Feng." The young man whispered: "That day, Yunhai Sect was annihilated to protect one person's life, and the person who was protected seemed to be called Lin Feng."

  "Yes, it's that person, but his background should be more interesting to Your Highness." The man in black continued to build suspense.

  "Let's go and take a look." The young man's eyes flashed.

  "Lin Feng, born in Yangzhou City." The man in black reminded him.

  "Yangzhou City, Lin Feng..." he muttered to himself, and immediately, the young man's eyes narrowed, a flash of light in his eyes, extremely unusual.

  "Her son?"

  "That's right, her son." The man in black nodded.

  The young man fell silent for a moment after hearing this, his eyes flickering uncertainly, and then said: "Indeed, my interest in him is even stronger."

  "Nanshan, don't let anyone else know about this matter."

  "Your Highness, I understand what to do." Nanshan smiled and responded.

  At this moment, Lin Feng did not know that the conversation in this pavilion would give him several more identities, but none of them were related to the Lin family in Yangzhou City, let alone the one in the Imperial City.

  Getting off the horse carriage, Lin Feng and his four companions looked at the vast empty space in front of them. Gradually, some young men walked towards this side with excitement and pride in their eyes.

  In front of the empty land, there is a arched gate with several big characters carved on it - Tianyi College!

  These few large characters, dragon flying and phoenix dancing, especially the two words "Tian Yi", seem to be gentle brushstrokes, but are filled with a fierce and overbearing aura, domineering and proud, as if they are the only ones in heaven and earth, unique and unmatched, that is Tian Yi.

  In front of the arched gate, there were several elderly people sitting on stone benches. In front of the stone benches, there was a stone table with writing brushes and ink.

  People who come here, occasionally someone will come forward to the old man's side, hand over a letter, make a record, take a token, and finally excitedly enter the Tianyi Academy after the arched gate.

  "Roar." At this time, a roar of a strange beast came out, attracting the attention of many people.

  As people's gazes turned around, they saw a girl wearing a fiery red dress, surprisingly riding on top of a demonic beast.

  This monster is a demonic lion, with tawny fur as fierce as flames, extremely intimidating, especially when it lets out a mighty roar, striking fear into the hearts of those who see it.

  "Actually riding on a spiritual beast, what a big show-off."

  Some people were astonished and looked at the girl with a mixture of jealousy and admiration.

  "Zhong Ling."

  At this time, a voice sounded, and behind the girl, a black shadow flashed by, coming to the girl's side.

  "Howling Moon Wolf, another spiritual beast." The crowd's pupils contracted for a moment, and they saw that the figure was sitting on top of a young man, sixteen or seventeen years old. He sat down, and it was indeed the spiritual beast Howling Moon Wolf.

  "It's no wonder it's Tianyi College, indeed a noble sanctuary."

  Many people are disappointed, Tianyi College, although it is not well-known in places far away from the imperial city, but within the imperial city, it is extremely famous. Anyone who enters Tianyi College is either a noble disciple with great talent or a demonic genius commoner.

  Of course, there are also some gazes that remain firm and unyielding, without even a glance at the demon beast. In their eyes, there is only persistence.

  "It seems we're a bit too shabby. Lin Feng led the horse, not far from the young man and woman, intimidated by the majesty of Huoyan Lion and Xiaoyue Wolf. The Qianli Snow in front of the carriage, led by Lin Feng, actually trembled with fear, refusing to move forward, causing Lin Feng to smile wryly as he pulled hard to make it proceed slowly."

  "Lin Feng big brother, I came here for cultivation, not to enjoy myself." Duan Feng said with a smile and shook his head.

  The sound was heard by the man and woman beside them, who turned around, their eyes scanning towards Duan Fenglin and others, sneering: "How did another group of lowly commoners arrive."
