God Emperor

Chapter 1013: Becoming a Person Useful to the World

As he got closer to the Royal Capital, memories started flowing back to him. Eight hundred years had gone by, the historical buildings were well preserved and remained standing where they had always been.

The Royal Capital, I am back!

Zhang Ruochen stood on the side of the boat, watching as the familiar scenery went by.

At the peak of Kong Le Mountain, there was a 74-story tower built by an ancient saint. The young Zhang Ruochen and Chi Yao used to climb up to the top of the tower, overlooking the prosperous Royal Capital.

There were two majestic bronze lion statues guarding at the gate, representing the sigil of the Sacred Central Empire. To his surprise, these were not destroyed during the war.

The walls guarding the city were excessively tall and the gate was magnificent, similar to the entrance of the Heavenly Palace.

The moment he arrived at the dock, Zhang Ruochen was overwhelmed with emotion as he recalled his past memories.

There was a group of officials, at least a hundred of them, in their imperial uniforms standing in line at the dock, as though they were waiting for the arrival of some important guests.

Zhang Ruochen threw a quick glance at Chu Siyuan and exclaimed, “Senior Chu, such big influence you have! A parade to welcome your arrival!”

“Really?”

Chu Siyuan looked more surprised than happy. He thought: I have been keeping a low profile about my trip. No one knows about it, not even the scholars of Confucianism. Why would there be a welcoming team?

Anyhow, he had his robe adjusted, getting ready for the welcoming parade before stepping out of the cabin. But he soon discovered the troops were looking in the other direction, next to him. It was not his welcoming parade.

There was a large metal ship moving slowly to the dock. The troops stepped forward to a group of men that had just landed and escorted them to the Royal Capital.

“Oh, they are not here for you. It seems you do not have much influence in the Royal Capital,” said Zhang Ruochen at a higher pitch.

That was on purpose. He wanted to tease Chu Siyuan.

Irritated by his tone, Chu Siyuan hissed, “If I had informed them about my trip, the welcoming troops would be ten or even a hundred times larger than theirs. But I prefer to keep a low profile.”

“Maybe so, maybe not.”

Zhang Ruochen laughed, “We have arrived at the Royal Capital, and I say it is time for us to part ways.”
