"It's the Imperial Star!"
Zhang Youwei got goosebumps all over his body. He was trembling as he spoke, and the fear in his eyes was palpable. "I really woke up at the worst possible time!"
Qin Luo looked at the purple star that seemed very close to the human world. "Senior, what does the appearance of the Imperial Star signify?"
Cold sweat beaded on Zhang Youwei's forehead. "Legend has it that the Emperor Star appears alongside the chosen one of destiny. There is also a saying that the Emperor Star is a symbol of dynastic change."
The Emperor Star is a legend.
Most cultivators have never seen it.
What is that?
"Could it be the Imperial Star?"
"The Imperial Star is indeed extraordinary!"
The people in the street saw the imperial star appear, and they all knelt and worshipped in the direction of the star. Some people exclaimed, "The imperial star is in the direction of the Zhang family, could it be...?"
Hearing the people's discussions, Wan'er frowned and angrily rebuked them, "Anyone who dares to speak recklessly will have their entire family executed!"
Zhu Xian stood up, looked at Di Xing, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, "Ying'er, let's go take a look."
Hua Ying nodded.
The Zhang family instantly became the focus of the entire city.
Dikun Academy.
Qin Hao is playing chess with Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi noticed the dazzling imperial star. "The imperial star is usually high above and hard to see. It can only be seen when it falls. It means the fall of the emperor. For the Great Xia Dynasty, this is not a good omen."
Snap!
Qin Hao slammed the chess piece down on the board, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "It seems the Emperor of Great Xia is nearing his end. As soon as he dies, we'll make our move!"
Daxia Academy.
The hunched old man, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the Haoran Sword, raised his head, looked at the Emperor Star in the sky, and said in a hoarse voice, "Little Chen, who do you plan to support?"
Chen Nianzhi looked nervous. "Everything was decided by His Majesty. I never thought about it."
The hunched old man looked at Chen Nianzhi and asked in a hoarse voice, "You don't need to think about those things. Think about why last year's top scholar wasn't a student of the academy?"
Chen Nian felt a chill run down his spine, and he asked nervously, "You mean, the princess is warning us?"
The hunched old man did not answer. After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "Take the academy disciples to Lieshan to worship their ancestors with the princess, and then take them on a spring outing. Don't come back for now."
"promise!"
Chen Nianzhi clasped his hands and bowed.
Jiangling City, Qinghe Tower.
It was lively outside; everyone was talking about the Imperial Star. Xiao Tao and Dou Dou were both leaning out the window looking at the Imperial Star. "What kind of star is that? It's so beautiful!"
Wearing a colorful dress, Caixia blinked. "I know, that's the Emperor Star. The Azure Emperor said he didn't like that star, but he stared at it for a long time."
Yanbei City.
The Prince of Zhenbei stood by the pond.
"Strategist, what should we do?"
A line appeared between Wang Chongming's brows. He calculated with his fingers, "The imperial star is teetering on the brink of collapse. We don't have much time left. Your Highness, we must head south immediately."
Longhu Temple.
"Junior Sister, look."
Jin Yan pointed to the distant imperial star.
When Zi Yue saw the Emperor Star, she placed her hands on her chest and prayed sincerely, "Star, I hope you can bring good luck to my senior brother."
Zhang Fulong came to the courtyard and gazed at Di Xing, his deep eyes rippling with emotion.
Peach blossoms kept falling in the courtyard.
Wangdu, Zhangjia.
Qin Luo reminded them, "Seniors, you should stay at the Zhang family's residence and not go out during this period of time."
"I understand!"
Zhang Youwei nodded repeatedly.
Golden light appeared beneath Qin Luo's feet. He had set up an array at the Zhang family's residence and even left his peach wood sword there.
Zhu Xian and Hua Ying arrived near the Zhang family's residence, where many powerful figures were also hiding. They all wanted to know why the Emperor Star had suddenly appeared above the Zhang family's residence.
The Zhang family gate opened, and Qin Luo walked out. A gentle breeze blew his robes, and the bright moonlight shone on his shoulders. He exuded an otherworldly and refined air.
Qin Luo was like an immortal.
Everyone watched him walk out of the Zhang family's house.
Hua Ying was worried when she saw Qin Luo. She was concerned for his broken Dao heart, but she didn't want anything to happen to him.
The capital's powerful and influential figures had gathered outside the Zhang family's gate. The Zhang family hadn't seen such a lively scene in many years. Zhang Shouyi glanced at it and then hurriedly closed the Zhang family's gate.
Qin Luo walked through the bustling crowd, and everyone consciously stepped back. Finally, he came to Zhu Xian and Hua Ying.
"Your Highness."
Qin Luo nodded to Zhu Xian.
Zhu Xian smiled and said crisply, "Come to the palace for a drink in a couple of days after I return from the ancestral worship ceremony."
"OK."
Qin Luo smiled and agreed.
Immediately afterward, Qin Luo passed by Zhu Xian and nodded at the dazed Hua Ying.
Hua Ying realized what was happening.
She nodded along, seemingly out of nowhere.
Zhu Xian watched Qin Luo's departing figure and asked, "Ying'er, if he becomes my enemy, whose side will you take?"
Without a second thought, Hua Ying replied, "Princess, of course I'll help you! I'll beat him into a pig's head for you."
"What if it's a fight to the death?"
"Princess, Qin Luo is a good person."
Hua Ying was a little nervous.
She didn't want Qin Luo to be in danger.
Zhu Xianfeng narrowed her eyes slightly and looked up at Di Xing. "Qin Luo is a good person, but He is not."
The stall in front of the little dumpling became deserted, and she was a little depressed. "Why did they all run away? It's just a star, what's so interesting about it? You can't eat it."
"Meow!"
The little black cat came to the vicinity.
"Little Blackie, you've come at the perfect time."
The little dumpling tossed the last skewer of roasted insects to the little black cat, saying, "If you had come any later, there wouldn't have been any left to eat."
The little black cat doesn't eat bones, but it does eat roasted insects and wags its tail happily.
"Little Blackie, let's go!"
