The crimson palace is built on a floating island near the ferry crossing, with three large golden characters on it.

Red Prince's Mansion.

As the golden fairy ship approached the ferry, a young man dressed in bright red came forward. Gong Changsheng bowed and said, "Senior, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. My elders would like to invite you to the Crimson King's Mansion as a guest."

Qin Luo smiled and said, "I have other matters to attend to. I'll visit the Crimson King's Mansion again when I have the chance."

Gong Changsheng was somewhat at a loss. The Crimson King's Mansion was one of the top powers in the Great Crimson Heaven, and all the Immortal Venerables had to give it face. Yet, Qin Luo directly refused the invitation from the Crimson King's Mansion.

Gong Changsheng was a little nervous and didn't want to mess up the task assigned by the Crimson King, so he pleaded, "Senior, my elders said that it won't take up too much of your time."

"All right."

Qin Luo didn't want to put him in a difficult position.

In the main hall of the Crimson King's Mansion, a sumptuous banquet had already been prepared. When Qin Luo arrived at the hall, he saw a middle-aged man with a full head of red hair. He was heroic and imposing.

"Master Qin, I have long admired your name!"

"I am Gong Hong, the Lord of the Crimson King's Mansion!"

The Red King took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

Qin Luo shook his head modestly and cupped his hands, saying, "I wonder what brings the Crimson King here to invite me?"

The Crimson King extended his hand to invite Qin Luo to sit down, his face full of smiles. "I wish to make friends with Daoist Qin. I wonder if Daoist Qin would be willing?"

Qin Luo chuckled and said, "Having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy, so why not?"

The Red King raised his wine cup, "Let me first toast Brother Qin, from now on you will be my elder brother."

Qin Luo didn't know what to say. He picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, then asked, "Brother Gong, you invited me to the Crimson King's Mansion, there must be something else you want to discuss."

The Crimson King nodded with a smile, but his expression was solemn as he said, "In this era of great strife, if the world changes, where should we go? I beg Brother Qin to show me the way!"

Qin Luo said meaningfully, "A butterfly cannot fly across the ocean. Under the circumstances, we should just go with the flow."

"Brother Qin is right."

The Crimson King said earnestly, "Brother Qin, if you ever need anything from the Crimson King's Mansion, please don't hesitate to ask."

Qin Luo knew that the Crimson King wanted to protect himself in the chaotic and dangerous situation, so he smiled and said, "Brother Gong, it was already the best choice for you not to go to the Outer Heavens."

The Crimson King was also a powerful Immortal Venerable, but he did not go to the Outer Heavens, "because I was afraid of being robbed there."

Qin Luo and the Red King exchanged a smile.

After finishing a pot of wine, Qin Luo stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Gong. May I take these dishes and wine with me?"

"Of course, no problem."

The Crimson King said with great enthusiasm.

Qin Luo knew that the food and drinks he didn't finish would eventually be thrown away, so he might as well pack them up and take them with him.

The Crimson King personally escorted Qin Luo away from the Crimson King's Palace.

Qin Luo returned to the immortal ship with wine and food.

"This is for you."

"Thank you, Master Dao."

Zhong Quan was overjoyed, not because of the precious food and wine, but because Qin Luo remembered him.
