Martial Master

“We should go.”

Putting away the Strange Beast Armor, Qin Chen and Liu Yuanqin walked out of the treasury.

“Master Qin, what was that broken armor just now?”

Liu Lingyun, filled with curiosity, couldn't help but ask.

“Hehe, that broken armor is an ancient standard armor. I accidentally activated it,” Qin Chen chuckled but didn’t explain too much.

As for the ancient alien artifacts, he himself hadn’t figured them out, so he naturally wouldn’t explain randomly.

Accidentally?

Liu Yuanqin and Liu Lingyun were speechless. Such a piece of armor had been stored in the Great Wei Dynasty's treasury for at least several hundred years. Many experts had studied it but had never been able to activate or understand it. Qin Chen's "accident" was truly hard to believe.

However, although the emperor had said that Master Qin could take anything he wanted from the treasury, they were hesitant about the broken armor, which was too astonishing, and felt the need to report to the emperor.

The three soon returned to the great hall.

“Eh? Where are Pavilion Master Zhuo and His Majesty?”

“Where is Father?”

Upon returning to the great hall and finding Zhuo Qingfeng and Liu Xuanrui absent, Qin Chen and Liu Yuanqin were taken aback.

“His Majesty took Pavilion Master Zhuo into the inner hall to discuss something important,” Huang Huan explained.

Something important?

Qin Chen was puzzled. What could Liu Xuanrui have that required both Ye Luhongtao and Nangong Li to stay here while only discussing with Zhuo Qingfeng?

“Young Hero Chen, did you find the emperor crystal in the treasury?”

Nangong Li and Ye Luhongtao, however, were not concerned and simply looked expectantly at Qin Chen.

“Hehe, I found it,” Qin Chen smiled lightly.

“Great!”

Nangong Li and Ye Luhongtao exchanged excited glances.

Although they found it hard to believe that Qin Chen could help them break through to Seventh Level Martial King within a month, they still held a great deal of hope in their hearts.

Now hearing that the last material, the emperor crystal, had been found, they couldn’t help but feel thrilled.

While they were exchanging words, Liu Xuanrui and Zhuo Qingfeng walked out from the inner hall.

“Master Qin, you’re back?” Liu Xuanrui’s eyes brightened.

“Indeed, thank you very much, Your Majesty. If it weren't for you, I might not have found the emperor crystal so quickly,” Qin Chen said with a smile, cupping his hands.

“It's what I should do,” Liu Xuanrui quickly waved his hands.

“Father.” At this point, Liu Yuanqin stepped forward, preparing to mention what had happened in the treasury, but before he could speak, Liu Xuanrui interrupted: “Yuanqin, Lingyun, you both did well. I’m very pleased. You can leave now. I have important matters to discuss with Master Qin.”

“Father, I want to hear too,” Liu Lingyun said in a spoiled tone.

“Be obedient, leave,” Liu Xuanrui glared and scolded.

Liu Lingyun was taken aback; it was the first time she had seen such a serious expression on her father's face. She could only pout and obediently retreat with Liu Yuanqin.

“Master Qin, I have a request, and I hope you can assist,” Liu Xuanrui said solemnly once the two left.

Qin Chen was taken aback. He could sense Liu Xuanrui's tone was very serious, and Zhuo Qingfeng beside him also wore a heavy expression.

“Your Majesty, please speak,” Qin Chen nodded.

Nangong Li and Ye Luhongtao were just about to leave when Liu Xuanrui waved his hand, saying, “Since President Nangong and Palace Master Ye Luhongtao are both from Chen Di Pavilion, you two don’t need to avoid this matter. However, this is of great importance, and I hope you won’t leak it carelessly, or it will lead to catastrophe for our Great Wei Dynasty.”

Upon hearing the gravity in Liu Xuanrui's words, both nodded.

“Actually, our Great Wei Dynasty's ancestor has been gravely ill for many days…” Liu Xuanrui slowly revealed this piece of news: “The health of our ancestor is the greatest secret of the entire dynasty and must not be leaked, so I have had no choice but to keep it a secret until now. I hope you will understand.”
