Weapon seller in the world of magic

With great enthusiasm, Qin Yu walks inside and spots a familiar-looking old man. He stops in his tracks involuntarily and apologized for the intrusion. "I didn\'t know that you were in a meeting with Venerable Yang. I\'ll come at a later time."

The reason why the emperor let his good-for-nothing son interrupt this meeting is that he wanted some time to think of a way to reject the marriage proposal from the Xianshu sect now that the Western Moon kingdom is out of the picture.

Why would he now send him away? The Emperor sternly ordered him to speak about what he was for.

Qin Yu took a glance at the supreme realm expert and then said, "An acquaintance of mine wishes to meet you. He is a weapon seller from the imperial city of Phoenix Empire who came to the north because of an official business with the Eastern Sun\'s royal family. Since he was already here, I took the opportunity to invite him."

"Phoenix Empire?" The Emperor and the supreme realm expert took a glance at each other; they were just talking about a certain individual from the same place and had the same profession too.

Since the person is already a guest at their palace, the emperor thought that he can spare a couple of minutes to meet this fellow.

He gave a nod to his son, "alright. I will see him later."

On the other hand, the Xianshu sect\'s grand elder had a different thought. He felt like it was too much of a coincidence that the crown prince\'s acquaintance is a weapon seller, who also happened to have official business at the eastern sun.

But, at the same time, there is no reason for him to meet a weapon seller even if it turns out to be Lu Zhen. After all, their worlds are different. Hence, he kept silent as the crown prince walked away.

It was then a sudden thought popped up in his head, and once Qin Yu left the room, the supreme realm expert made a suggestion, "Your Majesty, why don\'t you send the crown prince to our sect to supervise the competition? I\'ll talk to our Patriarch to arrange it.

This might give him a chance to prove his usefulness to the palace. If he can pull it off successfully, you can probably try sending him as an envoy to other empires like the other princes."

"Eh?" Emperor Qin was slightly surprised by this old man\'s comment but he was secretly happy that the topic might be diverted because of this. Hence, without any hesitation, he started talking about his woes because of his eldest son\'s activities.

The supreme realm expert didn\'t know whether to laugh at the emperor\'s misfortune or pity the crown prince as Qin Mo continued to undermine his son behind his back.

But then again, it wasn\'t his nose to poke into the matters of the imperial family. So, Yang Bingwen kept quiet and let the old emperor speak as long as he wants.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu appeared to be quite elated with his request becoming successful.

He went to the guest quarters and informed Mark about the situation.

However, Mark didn\'t feel that impressed by the emperor\'s decision as Qin Yu was.

He left his room and entered the neighboring next room where Lan Ju was taking a rest.

Mark woke up the zheng and told him to follow him to meet the Emperor.

"Huh? Brother Lu, my father is in the meeting. It is not appropriate to meet him right now without his permission." The crown prince was surprised that his guest would lack so much patience that he would get ready to barge into the private chamber and interrupt Emperor\'s meeting with a supreme realm expert.

Mark then halted his footsteps and looked at the crown prince, letting out a smile, "Prince Qin, this is why you are getting stepped on, every single day. You need to learn to fight back to protect your interests."

He then looked at the zheng and gestured to him something. Lan Ju nodded in understanding.

Seeing the exchange of glances between Mark and Lan Ju, the crown prince felt like they were going to do something reckless. "What are you going to do?"

As soon as his words ended, a powerful aura was released and put pressure on everyone in the palace, save for a few individuals (Mark\'s companions including Qin Yu).

Within ten seconds, Yang Bingwen was already standing before them alongside Qin Mo with both of them having serious expressions on their faces. "Who are you?" The supreme realm expert asked. Meanwhile, Emperor looked at his son.

Mark raised his hand and Lan Ju retracted his aura; the old man shifted his attention to Mark. A trace of surprise appeared on his face, "this young man looks like that powerful sect leader, Lan Gengxin."

"I heard that I cannot meet your emperor without permission. So, I thought it is better for him to come to me," replied Mark without wiping off the fake smile on his face. Inspecting the emperor, he further commented, "Who in the world could have expected that Emperor Qin is a Supreme realm expert himself? The world is really full of surprises."

"Eh? Eh?" Qin Yu was looking right and left in confusion, wondering whether he had listened correctly. His father is a Supreme realm expert? Lu Zhen must have gone nuts. After all, it is well known that Qin Mo was once an Exalt realm expert who received heavy injuries during an ambush and had his cultivation realm dropped to 6-circle.

During the past three decades, his cultivation remained the same. Qin Yu was under the impression that this guest of his has made a mistake but his father\'s reaction gave the truth away.

"Both of you and Qin Yu, you too, follow me." Emperor Qin ordered them and turned around to walk away in seriousness. The supreme realm expert and the crown prince quietly followed him.

However, after walking a few steps, the Emperor realized something amiss and he turned around only to see that Mark didn\'t move an inch from his spot and neither did his expression change.

What was the meaning behind this smile?

Don\'t think you are in any position to order me in that tone? The Emperor understood that way and he concentrated on Mark once again. This time, he was quite surprised as he cannot sense anything from him.

Is this young man, a hidden expert? The Emperor turned a bit wary of Mark and cleared his throat before speaking a little bit more softly than earlier, "*Ahem* It is uncomfortable to talk in this place. I believe you want to talk things in private too."

Mark replied while continuing to maintain his smile, "No, I\'m not here for an important talk. I\'m just here to do business by selling a certain type of weapon. Since you are already here, then, let\'s go to a remote location where I demonstrate its prowess to you. If I did it here, the entire palace might turn into ruins."

The Emperor narrowed his eyes and stared at Mark and the Supreme Being behind him, wondering if this fellow is Lu Zhen, the one Yang Bingwen earlier warned him about.
