Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

Faced with the sudden attack from the young man in brocade robes, Lu Feng did not turn his head. He simply dodged to the side, easily avoiding the opponent's fatal claw.

"This kid actually managed to dodge my full-force claw attack? How is that possible...!"

The attack failed, and the young man in brocade robes also looked visibly shocked.

You should know that the opponent could predict his moves and attack trajectory without even glancing at him.

This clearly shows that Lu Feng's strength is far more than he imagined!

"I had no intention of killing anyone."

Lu Feng slowly turned around and glanced at the young man in brocade behind him. His tone remained calm and indifferent. "If you don't want to die, leave now."

In the past, based on the young man's sneak attack, he would have killed him in no time.

However, they were currently in front of the Qianqing Hall of the Imperial Palace, and today was also Consort Ren Xuan's coming-of-age ceremony, so Lu Feng was unwilling to start a massacre to avoid spoiling the festive atmosphere.

"You charlatan! I'm going to kill you today...!"

Despite Lu Feng's leniency, the young man in brocade gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, as if he had been slapped on the head and face, and his anger surged.

After all, he was the son of the Minister of Justice. Now, not only was he being looked down upon by Lu Feng, an unknown rogue cultivator, but he was also being threatened in public. How could he possibly swallow this insult?

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Just as the young man in brocade was about to make another move, a high-pitched eunuch's voice suddenly came from inside the Qianqing Hall opposite.

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, respectfully welcome you!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

The next moment, the previously agitated crowd outside the hall fell silent, and a chorus of voices knelt and bowed in unison. The expressions on everyone's faces were extremely humble, and no one dared to be negligent in the slightest.

Then, several figures slowly stepped out of the Qianqing Hall.

It was vaguely visible that the leader was a dignified middle-aged man, wearing a gilded dragon robe, with graying temples. He was none other than the current emperor of Dongyun Kingdom and the head of the Ren family, Ren Tianxing!

As for Ren Tianxing's left and right sides, they were followed closely by the eldest princess Ren Xuanfei, who was dressed in a magnificent outfit, the commander of the Imperial Guards Chen Jinnan, and Old Han, who had appeared in Luochuan County before. They were all Ren Tianxing's confidants.

In addition, there was a large group of eunuchs and palace maids serving outside the Qianqing Hall. The entire coming-of-age ceremony was quite a grand affair, which was enough to show Ren Tianxing's affection for his eldest daughter, Consort Ren Xuan.

"Today is the coming-of-age ceremony of my beloved daughter. All of you are important officials of this dynasty. There is no need for further formalities. Rise."

Faced with the kneeling and bowing officials and scions of noble families outside the hall, Ren Tianxing merely nodded slightly, without deliberately displaying imperial majesty, and then gestured for everyone to rise.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing this, the people outside the hall also rose to express their gratitude.

The young man in brocade robes who had originally intended to teach Lu Feng a lesson gritted his teeth and glared at him with slight resentment, "You little brat! You're lucky today...!"

Although he was the son of the Minister of Justice, he dared not make a big move in front of Emperor Ren Tianxing, because such an action would not only be a provocation against the imperial authority, but also dig his own grave, which was almost tantamount to courting death!

"So this man is Miss Ren's father, the current Emperor of Dongyun Kingdom, Ren Tianxing?"

"Hmm, she's much younger than I expected..."

Ignoring the threatening gaze from the young man in brocade, Lu Feng looked up at Ren Tianxing opposite him, then narrowed his eyes slightly.

When he was wandering the streets of Fancheng and making a living as a tomb raider, he had heard rumors about Ren Tianxing. The latter was not only the current emperor of Dongyun Kingdom, but had also been on the throne for more than ninety years, making him a genuine old monster.

But now that he has personally visited the palace, Lu Feng is still quite amazed.

Because Ren Tianxing in front of them was so young. Even though his real age was close to 100, he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, without showing any signs of aging.

"Fei'er, the coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin. Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Just as Lu Feng was secretly sighing, Ren Tianxing also turned to look at Ren Xuanfei beside him, his face full of doting affection.

"Father, I have nothing to say, let's begin!"

Faced with Ren Tianxing's caring gaze, Ren Xuanfei was only stunned for a moment before shaking her head repeatedly, seemingly somewhat absent-minded.

In addition, Consort Ren Xuan's gaze swept across the crowd outside the hall, as if she were searching for something.

"Your Highness, Young Friend Lu is in the northwest corner of the crowd."

A slightly helpless, aged voice slowly reached her ears, which made Ren Xuanfei's heart tremble.

"It was there after all!"

Seeing Lu Feng standing discreetly in the corner of the crowd, arms crossed, waiting for the celebration to begin, Ren Xuanfei's beautiful eyes couldn't help but flash with joy.

Originally, she planned to have Lu Feng stand beside her and attend the ceremony together, but on the advice of Elder Han, Ren Xuanfei finally gave up this plan.

After all, there is a huge difference in status between her and Lu Feng, and her father, the emperor, does not yet know the other's background. If the two of them act too intimately now, it will inevitably cause a great upheaval in the capital.

"This girl..."

Noticing Ren Xuanfei's unusual gaze as well, Ren Tianxing's lips curled into a meaningful smile. "Heh, so you've really fallen for her..."

Although the other party disguised it very well, as the old saying goes, no one knows a daughter better than her father.

Therefore, Ren Tianxing was well aware of Ren Xuanfei's ulterior motives and Lu Feng's existence; he knew them perfectly well.

"Although this young man has an ordinary appearance, he possesses an arrogant demeanor and is not intimidated even when surrounded by a group of noble scions."

"Moreover, this young man is already so accomplished at such a young age; no wonder Fei'er is so infatuated with him..."

"However, becoming my son-in-law, Ren Tianxing, won't be so easy...!"

Ren Tianxing glanced at Lu Feng, who was standing in a corner of the crowd outside the hall, and nodded silently. Then, a deep look flashed in his eyes, as if he intended to test Lu Feng.

After all, Consort Ren is his most beloved eldest daughter, and she is never short of suitors. In fact, many princes and nobles from other countries, as well as young talents, come to propose marriage. So, she can't just marry some nobody now.

"Your Majesty, is it necessary for me to take action?"

Seemingly sensing Ren Tianxing's thoughts, Chen Jinnan, the commander of the Imperial Guards, stepped forward and secretly transmitted his voice.

"No."

Faced with Chen Jinnan's secret telepathic message, Ren Tianxing shook his head slightly, "Judging from Fei'er's infatuated appearance, she must have already fallen deeply in love with this Lu Feng. If you accidentally hurt this boy, I won't be able to explain it to Fei'er."

"Forgive my ignorance, Your Majesty, but what do you mean...?"

Hearing this, Chen Jinnan was also puzzled, seemingly unable to fathom Ren Tianxing's thoughts.
