Start with ten eggs

Li Tianming saw Yandu again.

This is a fiery city, and even the city walls seem to be burnt red by the scorching sun. From a distance, it looks like a red-hot boiler, steaming hot.

In my impression, Yan is the most prosperous city.

The famous families of the entire Suzaku Kingdom gathered here, as well as the wealth, powerhouses, talents and resources of the whole country. It was the dream land of the young people of the Suzaku Kingdom.

Four years ago, Li Tianming came to Yandu with great dreams, passed the palace examination and entered the Yanhuang Academy to practice, and everything was going smoothly.

Four years later, he made a comeback, and the meaning of his life was completely different.

When I saw Yandu again, my mood was naturally different, and this time I brought my mother with me.

Wei Jing opened the roller blind in the carriage.

Her gaze was like water, the way she looked at Yandu was completely different from Li Tianming's.

Until now, Li Tianming didn't know what kind of story there was between her and Yandu, but he knew that Wei Jing had always been from Yandu before she married Li Yanfeng.

Her childhood was bound together with this fiery Yan.

At this moment, her eyes are watery, and there is a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes are moist, as if filled with water mist.

It can be seen that 20 years later, when she returns to the hometown where she was born, there must be many waves in her heart.

And those waves were hidden in the smile at the corner of his mouth.

Her silver hair was flying in the air, even though she looked very old, but in that smile and flying long hair, Li Tianming suddenly imagined her youth.

Thinking about it, she must be an enviably beautiful and lively woman, just like Jiang Feiling and Princess Qing.

"Time and disease are too cruel." Li Tianming buried these words in his heart and did not say them out.

With a smile on his face, he stared at his mother and asked, "How is it? Is there a feeling that everything is right and nothing is right, and tears flow first when you want to speak?"

"Naughty, your mother is not a sentimental person, I just miss Yandu's cakes, mung bean cake, osmanthus cake, crabapple cake, they taste so good." It can be seen that she is already salivating.

In the past, she was also a girl who walked around the streets happily with delicious food in her hand.

"Don't worry, when your son has money, I will definitely let you eat enough."

"From now on, we will settle down in Yandu. I will take care of you and bring you delicious pastries every day." Li Tianming said.

"Lagou, don't break your promise. If you dare to forget, I won't let you go home." Wei Jing said with a straight face.

"Cruel woman." Li Tianming shook his head.

"beat you!"

Sure enough, after leaving Lihuo City, and never having to see that man again, happiness is as simple as that.

"However, we came to Yandu empty-handed, where is there a place to stay?"

This is a problem that Li Tianming urgently needs to solve. If he comes alone, he will have a place to live after entering the Yanhuang Academy.

However, the mother cannot enter the Yanhuang Academy, she needs to have a home of her own.

"I'll take care of this. My mother still had many friends in Yandu back then." Wei Jing said with a smile.

It seems that she has already planned.

"It's just that the sisters haven't seen each other for 20 years, and they all live better than me."

No matter how free and easy people are, they will be lost at this time.

Back then we were like glue together, but since then we have our own families and our own lives.

After entering Yandu, Li Tianming drove the carriage and followed Wei Jing's guidance towards the west district of Yandu. The western district is the free land of Yandu, where business is flourishing and fish and dragons are mixed.

Yandu is very big, if you really want to walk around, you can't finish it for a few days and nights.

"Do you know the location of 'Chen Palace'?" Wei Jing asked.

"Of course I know that Xingfu and Chengong are the most luxurious and splendid residences in the western district of Yandu. If they were not in awe of the Suzaku royal family, these two residences might be built more luxuriously than the imperial city."

Li Tianming has stayed in Yandu for a year, and he knows the streets of Yandu like the palm of his hand.

The reason why these two mansions are so luxurious is mainly because of money.because,

This is the mansion of the two presidents of the 'Star Chamber of Commerce'.

The Star Chamber of Commerce is the largest business alliance in Suzaku Kingdom, controlling the country's economic lifeline, with countless branches all over the city, including Lihuo City.

As the saying goes, as long as there is not enough money, there is nothing that cannot be bought in the Star Chamber of Commerce.

The two presidents of the Star Merchant Guild are legendary figures in Suzaku Kingdom.

They are ordinary geniuses who started from scratch together. More than 20 years ago, they were known as the 'Twins of the Stars', but now they are honored as the 'Twin Saints of the Stars'.

The two of them opened the Star Chamber of Commerce all over the country in just 20 years, and possessed wealth that is incomparable to a country, making the Star Chamber of Commerce with only 20 years of history the most emerging force in Suzaku Kingdom.

Even, the strength enough to compete with many old giants with a history of thousands of years, such as Lei Zun Mansion.

Xingfu and Chengong are respectively the mansions of Xingsheng and Chensheng. Over the years, they have received countless high-ranking people.

However, that is not a place that ordinary people can enter, anyway, Li Tianming has never been close to it.

"What are you going to Chen Palace for? Could it be that you know someone from Chen Palace?" Li Tianming asked curiously.

"There was once a good sister who married into Chen Palace." Wei Jing said.

Maybe it's because she is about to meet a friend she hasn't seen in 20 years, and she feels a little nervous. After all, she is seriously ill and has nowhere to go.

Not long after, a star-lit mansion appeared before their eyes.

This mansion is like a small city, located in the most prosperous place in Yandu, surrounded by many famous families.

The Chen Palace is like the stars holding the moon, magnificent and elegant, and many sculptures and reliefs are very stylish. The dazzling starlight is enough to make ordinary people feel ashamed and dare not approach.

Far away from the gate of Chen Palace, there are guards with high levels of cultivation, guarding with ferocious companion beasts.

Seeing the adult lions and tigers crawling on the ground, even if they are taking a nap, is very intimidating to the people around them.

Li Tianming came driving a carriage, this carriage was Li Yanfeng's, so it was luxurious enough, so the guards at the gate defaulted that there should be a person in the carriage.

Therefore, they were quite polite and asked, "Do you want to visit Chen Palace? Do you have an invitation?"

"Please tell your wife Xuelan, please see my old friend Wei Jing." She gently opened the roller blind and said softly.

"Ma'am? Our wife usually doesn't see regular customers, so please don't make things difficult for us." The guard said seriously.

"Just tell me my name, please. If there is no response, I will leave naturally." Wei Jing said very politely.

The guards were also not sure. After all, the person in front of him was an old man, and he might be some elder of the madam. To be on the safe side, they reported it inside.

The waiting time was a bit long. After all, Chen Palace is too big, so it will take time to report to Madam.

"Mother, does this lady have a high status in Chen Palace?" Li Tianming asked curiously.

"Naturally, she is Chen Sheng's wife." Wei Jing smiled.

"Damn?" Li Tianming was taken aback, he had to look at Wei Jing with puzzled eyes.

Her former friend actually had Mrs. Chen Sheng, which meant that her status in Yandu was not low.

Chen Sheng, but now the man of the day in the entire Suzaku Kingdom, his status is comparable to the minister of the court of the Suzaku Kingdom.

This kind of person, Li Yanfeng can't get in touch with.

When Li Tianming was still a little suspicious, the news had already spread, and the guard hurried forward and said: "My wife, please see me, she is setting up the 'Xuechen Pavilion', please get off the carriage, Mrs. Wei, and go in with the villain."

Wei Jing had trouble walking, so Li Tianming helped her into Chen Palace.

After entering, Li Tianming realized just how luxurious this Chen Palace is. There are jewels and glazes everywhere, five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, and the flowers are like a brocade, which is too beautiful to behold.

Compared with this Chen Palace, the City Lord's Mansion in Lihuo City can only be called a humble room.

Being able to be the hostess in such a Chen Palace, it seems that this woman named Xue Lan is also an extraordinary person.

Li Tianming had to calm down a bit, otherwise it would be too much like a hillbilly entering the city.

It's just that one of the former sisters doesn't even have a status and a place to stay, but the other is the mistress of the Chen Palace, Chen Sheng's wife.

The encounters in life are really embarrassing. The people I meet are not good, and life is so painful.

It's just that Wei Jing's face is calm, it seems that the sisters can have this kind of happiness, she is not jealous, but deeply happy for it.

The journey to Xuechen Pavilion was a bit long, and there was a martial arts arena passing by on the way.

The martial arts arena was extremely lively at this time, and there were many teenagers and girls from the Star Merchant Guild who were discussing trials.

Every Yanhuang School Palace Examination, there are many Star Merchant Guild disciples who can enter the Yanhuang School to practice. Today's rehearsal is probably for the final preparation.

After all, three days later, it will be the day of the official palace examination.

Li Tianming noticed that there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who was very dazzling in the martial arts arena.

The young man was slender and handsome, wearing azure blue training uniform, his long hair was combed neatly and meticulously, the most dazzling part of his body was his eyes.

Those eyes are as bright as stars, crystal clear, like gems and emeralds.

Even if Li Tianming is far away, he can still see the light of these eyes.

This is definitely a child of a big family. The innate crystal clear feeling is not comparable to that of ordinary marginal children.

For example, Liu Qianyang, he does have a noble temperament and a powerful aura, but compared with this young man, he obviously lacks a crystal clear innocence.

From a distance, this young man looks like a pure star, so although there are many martial arts geniuses around, he can be seen from a long distance as the most dazzling one.

His companion beast is a burly purple male lion.

There are very obvious six star points in the eyes of the purple male lion, and each star point is shining brightly, which is enough to show that the companion beast of this young man is a sixth-order companion beast.

Being able to have a sixth-order companion beast shows that this young man is considered a top genius in Yandu, and Liu Qianyang and Jiang Yilin cannot be compared.

"This is the companion beast 'Six Star Lunar Lion' of our boy Chen Yao. It is said that even among the sixth-order companion beasts, it can be regarded as a 'top-rank' existence." The guard was proud, proud and envious.

Li Tianming knew that on Yandu's side, the grades of companion beasts would be divided into finer grades.

The same fifth-order companion beast and sixth-order companion beast will be divided into three levels: top-rank, middle-rank, and low-rank within one class.

For example, his four-winged golden-winged roc was once listed as a fifth-order middle-grade companion beast, and it was in the middle of the fifth-order companion beast.

And this six-star obsidian lion is not only a sixth-order companion beast, but also a top-rank existence, which further shows that this young master 'Chen Yao' is extremely talented.

"Is this Xuelan's child?" Wei Jing asked.

"Of course, the boy Chen Yao is the youngest son of the madam, and the eldest son of the madam, 'Chen Hao', has already entered the Tianfu to practice, and now he is ranked very high on the list of the Tianfu." The guard said proudly.

Chen Hao?

Li Tianming knew him. In the palace examination four years ago, he ranked in the top three. He was suppressed by Lin Xiaoting and failed to enter Tianfu directly. However, his hard work paid off, and today he is already a genius in Tianfu.

"Master Chen Yao is about to take the palace exam three days later. He is very hopeful to be the first in the palace exam and directly promoted to Tianfu."

"It is said that the younger you are, the sooner you enter Tianfu, the more good fortune and cultivation you will get. If Master Chenhao was able to take the first place in the palace examination four years ago, he is probably no worse than the one in Lei Zun's Mansion today."

Needless to say, Li Tianming knew that the young master of Chen Palace must be the number one candidate for the palace examination.
