Please, I Really Didn't Want To Fall in Love With My Master! Chapter 176: Entering the Royal Palace, Entering the Treasury!

Chapter 176: Entering the Royal Palace, Entering the Treasury!

Sheng Zhixia looked at Li Ran with a complicated expression.

This man was not only the Devil Sheng Zi and a hero of the human race. He also held her greatest secret.

Such complications caused her to panic.

Sheng Zhixia calmed down. "Long time no see, Master Li."

Li Ran smiled. "Didn't we just meet two days ago?"

Sheng Zhixia was stunned for a moment and shook her head. "I haven't been out of the palace all this time. I'm sure that Master Li had remembered wrongly."

"Did I remember wrongly?" Li Ran frowned.

She had clearly come to look for him two days ago, so it was impossible for him to forget about their encounter.

At this time, he noticed the imperial palace guards at the side and immediately understood.

"It looks like she snuck out secretly. She doesn't want others to know about it."

With this thought in mind, Li Ran joked, “It might be because I missed the princess so much that I'm hallucinating."

“Miss me?"

Sheng Zhixia’s face turned red and she said shyly, "Don't joke around, Sheng Zi Li. Why would you miss me?"

"Because we're friends. Could it be that Princess Sheng doesn't miss me?" asked Li Ran.'

Sheng Zhixia pinched the hem of her skirt and whispered, "Just… just a little…"

"A little is enough." Li Ran smiled.

Sheng Zhixia's eyes flashed, not daring to look him in the eye.

Li Daoyuan was dumbfounded.

Looking at Princess Sheng being shy, who would believe that the two of them were just acquaintances?

"Myriad Sword Pavillion, Joyous Unity Sect, and now there's the Sheng Clan’s Princess? This kid is too ridiculous!"

Li Daoyuan couldn't help but worry about his fate.

Ahem.

After all, there were people from the Li family and palace guards beside her. Sheng Zhixia also wanted to maintain her image as an imperial daughter.

She cleared her throat and said, "Sheng Zi Li,  I'm here to send a plaque. On the other hand, I'm here to invite you into the palace."

"Entering the palace?" Li Ran raised an eyebrow.

Could it be that Sheng Ye wanted to see him?

Yi Qinglan had specifically warned him that Sheng Ye was an Emperor. He only cared about the country and the imperial power, so he was not a trustworthy person.

Li Ran did not want to have too much trouble with such a person.

Seeing that he was silent, Sheng Zhixia saw through his thoughts and whispered, "Don't worry, Sheng Zi Li. Father has already entered closed door cultivation. It was just that we need you to choose the spirit treasure and immortal materials, so I am inviting you to the palace."

"I see." Li Ran nodded and did not hesitate.

Sheng Zhixia looked around. "Where's Chief Yue and Saint Qin? Should we go into the palace together?"

Li Ran replied, "Qin Ruyan's sect has already sent for her. As for Yue Jianli, she hasn't woken up yet."

"Still not awake? It’s almost noon…"

Sheng Zhixia was a little confused. Suddenly, she thought of something and her face turned red.

She stammered, "Alright, alright, then Sheng Zi Li will enter the palace alone."

After saying that, she quickly left.

Li Ran looked at her fl.u.s.tered back and couldn't help but be puzzled.

Yue Jianli had been cultivating bitterly all night. She had just fallen asleep in the morning, so she was still asleep.

Was there a problem?

At this moment, Li Daoyuan came over and whispered, "You and Princess Flood Dragon…"

"Friends," Li Ran said seriously.

Li Daoyuan looked at him with disdain. "You said Yue Jianli was a friend, but what happened?"

Li Ran rubbed his nose awkwardly. "She is really a friend."

She must have hated him to death for treating her like that on the flying boat, right?

Even saying that she was a friend was a little too much.

The Imperial Palace was located in the center of Central City.

The entire palace group climbed up in the form of a ladder. The most central throne room was also located at the highest place. The surrounding buildings were scattered high and low, like stars supporting the moon.

Li Ran and Sheng Zhixia walked through the palace.

The buildings around her were magnificent and resplendent, giving off a royal aura.

"Tsk tsk, it's indeed the royal family that has money. It's really extravagant." Li Ran sighed.

Sheng Zhixia shook her head. "If you can choose, I would rather live on the mountain. Even if we looked at the white clouds and weeds, they were still stronger than this cold stone."

"Indeed." Li Ran nodded and said, "Rather than being confined to the imperial palace and being wrapped by these vulgar things, it's better to pick the stars and embrace the moon and watch the world change."

"Pick  the stars, embrace the moon, and watch everything change?"

Sheng Zhixia was stunned for a moment and savored it carefully. A trace of yearning flashed through his eyes.

She looked at the side of Li Ran's face and muttered, "I really don't understand Sheng Zi anymore."

"Oh?"

Li Ran smiled. "What do you mean?"

Sheng Zhixia pointed at him and said, "You are the Sheng Zi of a Devil Sect, but you have a strong heart. You are obviously cynical and unrestrained, but you can always say something that makes people think…"

She sighed softly. "Sheng Zi Li is really a strange person."

Li Ran shook his head. "I think Princess Sheng is even stranger."

"Ah?" Sheng Zhixia was taken aback. "What's so strange about me?"

Li Ran said, "You’re obviously a high and mighty princess, but you like to peek at others… Hmm!"

Sheng Zhixia hurriedly covered her mouth and said with a red face, "Don't speak nonsense, I'm not spying! Moreover, moreover, you even forced me to act like that. It's really bad!"

Ahem!

Li Ran suddenly coughed.

Only then did she see a palace maid pa.s.sing by in the distance, jumping away like a frightened rabbit.

She was obviously very shy, yet she still pretended as if nothing had happened.

Li Ran said with a good smile, "Alright, since you know about it, I know about it. No one else knows about it."

Sheng Zhixia nodded. "Then I'll reluctantly trust you."

The two of them continued to walk forward through the long corridor and arrived at a huge palace.

This palace was a little different from the others. It didn't look so gorgeous and exuded an ancient aura.

In front of the door stood two tall guards.

The black armor covered his entire body, and even his fingers were covered. Only a crack appeared in his eyes, but when he looked at it, it was empty.

Li Ran's heart trembled.

He could not see through these two people.

Sheng Zhixia walked forward and took out a token, "Father Emperor has given me an order to have Sheng Zi Li enter the treasury to choose a spirit treasure."

The black-armored guard glanced at the token and neither spoke nor bowed.

Creak

With a soft sound, a crack opened in the palace gate.

A deep divine light shone from the crack of the door, and the plaque on the door also slowly lit up with the word "treasure ".

Even outside the door, he could feel immortal energy spreading out.

Sheng Zhixia handed the token to Li Ran and said with a smile, "Sheng Zi Li, please enter the treasury."
