ing, the matter was over.Li Chen stood back to the dragon throne and then softly spoke, "Your Majesty's condition is known to all of you ministers. Before, this palace had discussed with officials fro...Chapter 431: From the Capital City

Su Jinpa was startled and instinctively wanted to dodge.

Li Chen said something, and Su Jinpa really didn't move.

He lifted his hand to brush the strands of hair that had been blown about by the sea breeze from Su Jinpa's temple to behind her ear. Seeing Su Jinpa stiffen, Li Chen chuckled lightly, "What are you so nervous about Afraid I'll eat you"

Su Jinpa didn't expect Li Chen's sudden gentleness. Her cheeks flushed, and she turned her head, stubbornly saying, "Who knows what you were going to do."

"Let's go, the sea view can be seen anytime. This seaside study room, once I come here, who knows when I'll be back next time."

After Li Chen finished speaking, he led Su Jinpa towards a large courtyard not far away.

This courtyard covers a considerable area, surrounded by walls. Above the main gate are four powerful characters: Guanhai Shuyuan.

All the attendants stayed behind, and only Li Chen, accompanied by Su Jinpa and the three treasures following him, arrived at the main gate of Guanhai Academy.

Of course, knocking on the door would be done by the Three Treasures.

After knocking on the door and ringing the bell, it creaked open. A boy of twelve or thirteen years old emerged from inside. He looked curiously at Li Chen and his companions and asked, "Are you here to see the teacher"

Sān Bǎo was just about to answer, when the young attendant quickly followed up, "If that's the case, then please come back another time. Before the new year, the teacher said not to see guests before March. I have already turned away many people these past few days."

Just a lowly bookboy, not even worthy of Li Chen's attention.

"Sān Bǎo grinned with a feminine charm and said to the young attendant, 'Go tell your master that my young lord has traveled far from the capital, weary from his journey. Your master must see him.'"

The page boy frowned, a look of displeasure on his face.

Mr. Mirror is a renowned sage, respected by all. No matter their status or position, whether they be high officials or even princes, none would dare speak to him in such a manner. Yet this man before them demands an audience with the master without any regard for propriety.

The child’s expression, as he looked at the book and then at them, clearly showed his refusal. Su Jinpa quickly spoke up: “Please tell your teacher, say that the daughter of the Su family has come to visit, and also mention that the author of *Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng* is here in person.”

The page boy didn't know what the daughter of the Su family represented, but after hearing "Preface to the Pavilion of Tengwang," his eyes lit up. He said, "My teacher has loved this poem ever since he first got it. Several times he has said that such a talented person is beyond compare, and it's a lifelong regret that he hasn't met them in person. Please wait a moment, I will go report to him immediately."

When the little attendants hurried off to report, Li Chen said to Su Jinpa, "Luckily I brought you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get through this door."

Su Jinpa covered her mouth and chuckled, "I told you you'd get shut out."

"It's all right, if he doesn't invite me in, I'll just barge in."

Li Chen said calmly, "Master Da Xian is renowned throughout the land. He wouldn't stoop to quarreling with a rough and unrefined junior like me, would he"

"You!"

Su Jinpa knew Li Chen would definitely be able to do it, and stomped her foot: "When you meet Mr. Mirror later, you'd better be more restrained. He's not like those officials in your court who will fawn over you."

"Aren't they officials of the court, or citizens of Great Qin As long as they are citizens, they are my subjects."

Li Chen said: "If they are my subjects, they should not be subservient to me, and I should not fawn over them"

The Qin Empire could not tolerate such a person.

Su Jinpang's words left Li Chen speechless, but before she could continue persuading him, the young attendant returned.

"Come in, teacher has invited some distinguished guests in."d as a small part of the interest for all the harm the Liao country has inflicted on my Qin people over these years."Li Chen's words sent shivers down Zhao Xuanji's spine.Looking back on everything, Z...
