The Everlasting Observance is located on a mountain waist in the West City, originally called the Taixuan Temple, and it is said to be the place where an emperor of the previous dynasty offered rituals for a certain real person to refine pills.
However, with the change of dynasties, the once bustling Taixuan Temple has declined and become desolate.
Nowadays, it’s just an ordinary Taoist temple with a dozen rooms before and after, inhabited by a mere dozen people, making it quite lonely.
But everyone in the Tiandu with some identity knows that the current residents of the temple are not ordinary. He is the current Prince’s instructor, the youngest Heavenly Rank powerhouse, Pei Min, who hails from the Hedong Pei family.
After Pei Xuanjing entered Kyoto, he had a few meetings with the prince. As rumored, His Highness the Prince was mild-mannered and friendly, and the two got along pretty well.
In Kyoto, both the Prince and Mr. Pei Laozhu had arranged residences for Pei Min, but he refused them all and chose to live in this desolate Taoist temple instead.
The Divine Weapon called Ten Thousand-Forged, bestowed by the Prince, was named Longevity by Pei Xuanjing, hence the Taoist temple was renamed to Everlasting Observance, corresponding to the original Everlasting Observance in the Daming World.
During this time, Pei Xuanjing led a leisurely life. Apart from teaching the prince swordsmanship every ten days, he spent the rest of his time at his own disposal, almost returning to his initial solitary cultivation time at the Everlasting Observance.
Of course, the remarkable figure of Pei Xuanjing entering Kyoto naturally aroused the curiosity of many people. In fact, countless people have sent salutations, only to be rejected by him one after another.
If it were an ordinary genius, rejecting these high-ranking officials in Kyoto, even while refusing, would cause a lot of dissatisfaction.
However, Pei Xuanjing is completely different. As a strongman, he has his own privileges. Even if he refuses these invitations, many people still eagerly want to visit.
“This Superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory can really keep his composure!” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.
After all, news of his intervention in the Prairie incident initially was quickly learned by the Superintendent. If it weren’t for the other party spread the news, perhaps the message Pei Xuanjing got from the Prairie wouldn’t have spread so quickly.
Moreover, Guo Yi, the captain of the Black Cloud Knights who supported him then, had said that the other party had invited him to Kyoto and wanted to see him.
But now, he had already arrived in Kyoto, and the other party remained silent, with no trace of movement, which puzzled Pei Xuanjing.
Although puzzled, Pei Xuanjing was not in a hurry.
Since he has come to Tiandu, he will naturally have the opportunity to see the other party. It would just take a little longer to wait.
Moreover, during his time in Kyoto, Pei Xuanjing had learned a lot about Kyoto’s situation.
The two strongest people in Kyoto today are, apart from that Superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, another master from the Taoist School.
This Taoist School master not only possesses high cultivation, but he is also an alchemy expert and is favored by the emperor, always serving as his exclusive Master Dan.
There’s also some news being passed around privately, that the Emperor, who is currently as wise as his predecessor, seems to have encountered some problems in his cultivation and constantly needs elixir for adjustment.
This is precisely why many of the empire’s political affairs are not questioned by the Emperor, most of the matters are dealt with and investigated by the Empress.
This Empress is of extraordinary means, and the Emperor’s ill health has led to a significant increase in the Empress’s power in the court with many supporters, leading to the dissatisfaction of many royal families.
Some have even suggested that the Emperor should go to a certain holy place to heal his injuries, leave the Prince in Kyoto to oversee the country and handle the political affairs.
One can say that while Kyoto seems peaceful at this moment, it is actually secretly turbulent, with many hidden threats.
“The big competition is approaching, I wonder who will Da Li send this time?” A smile appeared at the corner of Pei Xuanjing’s mouth.
As the time for the Kyoto Grand Competition gradually approached, according to the news Pei Xuanjing received, Da Li still sent people to come.
Though Pei Xuanjing himself was no longer fit to compete in this Kyoto Grand Competition, he undoubtedly will attend as a guest of honor.
He was somewhat curious, who will Da Li send this time?
Moreover, in his opinion, this Seoul Grand Competition was a good opportunity, and some people may want to take this opportunity to probe a bit.
“But, what does this have to do with me?” Pei Xuanjing chuckled disdainfully. He now had the privilege of just being an observer of the competition and as long as he didn’t want to play, no one would dare to just pull him, a Heavenly Rank powerhouse, into the game.
Just watching would be fine, but if someone really targeted him, they couldn’t blame him for overturning the table when the time came.
That’s what Pei Xuanjing thought.
Time passed quickly, and there was a month left in the blink of an eye.
One evening, after teaching the prince swordsmanship, Pei Xuanjing arranged to attend the Kyoto Grand Competition ceremony, then took a car back to the Everlasting Observance.
However, just before arriving, someone suddenly appeared and stopped his carriage.
A middle-aged man in a black robe stood with his back to them in the middle of the street, blocking their way.
“Who dares to block the Prince’s carriage?”
The coachman shouted sternly when he saw that the carriage was stopped.
Known as a seventh-grade official in front of the prime minister, the coachman of the Prince also had a considerable status. And being able to serve as the Prince’s coachman also meant that he was a trusted confidant of the Prince.
Moreover, he was also a strong man who had cultivated to the three-stage Gang Qi Realm of martial arts. Whether in the army or in the world, he could be considered a figure.
He was originally a master in the martial world, but because of his low birth, he did not have the method of breaking through to the Heavenly Rank, so he had taken shelter under the Prince.
“Humph!” The middle-aged man let out a cold snort, and a domineering aura spread out.
Heavenly Rank powerhouse!
The coachman, who was just sternly berating, was taken aback, his face ashen.
Even though the man had not yet made a move, the terrifying aura emanating from him made it difficult for the coachman to even breathe.
“Hehe…”
A light laugh, quietly eliminated this intimidating aura, like a spring breeze, leaving the coachman without any oppressive feeling.
“Thank you, Young Master!” He quickly thanked Pei Xuanjing in the carriage.
He knew that if it were not for Pei Xuanjing’s intervention, he would be completely defenseless against this Heavenly Rank powerhouse. Pei Xuanjing said indifferently: “Not at all, this person is after me!”
Without a doubt, the man was after him, and the coachman was just an innocent bystander.
“Young Master Min!” The middle-aged man who was blocking the road suddenly shouted and took action.
His aura exploded fiercely, shaking heaven and earth!
His loud voice, like a thunderclap, loudly echoed on the long street, attracting numerous gales, even turning the cool night winds into piercing cold winds..
