My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

He simply nodded slightly.

“Mm.”

After he finished speaking,

Li Chengqian’s body suddenly trembled a few times, and tears quickly filled his eyes.

“You’ve had it tough all these years.”

The Great Tang Emperor added another sentence.

At this time, the Great Tang Emperor, since Li Yuanba had retreated and stopped making moves against him, did not pay more attention to Li Yuanba.

Because the Great Tang Emperor knew that even if Li Yuanba were more foolish, under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to strike at the Emperor again.

Simultaneously,

The Great Tang Emperor also felt a bit fortunate.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian had arrived just in time.

If Li Chengqian had been slower to appear, or had come even later,

Even if his own power was not weak, in the face of Li Yuanba, there was still that slight gap, and in the end, he would surely have been caught up to by Li Yuanba.

If he couldn’t enter the depths of the Imperial Palace this time, to control the entire Great Tang Chang’an City,

Such a vast Chang’an City, appearing in this world, yet he was unable to control it,

Who knew how many interested people would take notice.

If the Immortal Buddhas and Divine Generals turned their attention to the Great Tang, and planned to make their move against it, without the protection of Chang’an City, even the Great Tang Emperor himself wasn’t completely confident that he could face those lofty Immortal Buddhas.

The Great Tang Emperor thought this, and took a deep breath.

“Chengqian, we can talk about the past later. Where is my Jade Seal?”

Li Chengqian heard the Great Tang Emperor’s words, was stunned for a moment, and then hastily replied, “Father-Emperor, the Jade Seal has always been in your palace. No one has ever touched it.”

Upon hearing this, the Great Tang Emperor glanced at Li Chengqian a few times more, then nodded slightly, “Take me to see it.”

Li Chengqian nodded hastily.

At this time, Li Chengqian could not afford to find someone to test whether he could leave Chang’an City or not.

Now, with Father-Emperor’s return, that was a major event for Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian knew his Father-Emperor was not dead.

But to avoid the Immortal Buddhas, he had hidden himself away.

After so many years, this was what Li Chengqian had always firmly believed.

But as time grew long,

The firm belief in Li Chengqian’s heart had begun to waver.

Was the Emperor of the Great Tang truly still alive?

If he was still alive,

Why would he abandon his subjects in the Great Tang?

Why, when the Great Tang was falling apart, was Father-Emperor not there?

Why had so many years passed without Father-Emperor coming to save himself and the others?

Li Chengqian did not understand.

Yet, when the Great Tang Emperor appeared before Li Chengqian’s very eyes, all the doubts and emotions in Li Chengqian’s heart dissipated like smoke.

What remained

Were shock and bewilderment.

Facing the words of the Great Tang Emperor, Li Chengqian subconsciously followed his command,

Leading the Great Tang Emperor towards the inner depths of the Imperial Palace.

As Li Chengqian was leading the Great Tang Emperor deeper into the Imperial Palace,

Li Yuanba, who had been cautious and hesitant on the side, quickly walked over.

Li Yuanba’s eyes stayed fixated on the Great Tang Emperor.

Then he quickly walked up beside Li Chengqian, anxious and bending over, came close to Li Chengqian’s ear, and whispered:

“Crown Prince, is this person really His Majesty?”

“Could there be a mistake?”

Upon hearing Li Yuanba’s words, Li Chengqian simply glanced at him with a flat gaze and then said no more.

He couldn’t possibly mistake his own Father-Emperor.

The usually dim-witted Li Yuanba, at this time, seemed to become clever all at once.

He understood Li Chengqian’s meaning in an instant.

After shrinking his neck, he didn’t dare to look at the Great Tang Emperor again and silently followed behind Li Chengqian for a while.

As Li Chengqian and the Great Tang Emperor were about to enter the inner city of the Imperial Palace, Li Yuanba slowly stopped and intended to leave quietly without attracting much attention from the Great Tang Emperor.

Just as Li Yuanba decided to turn around and leave, the voice of the Great Tang Emperor suddenly echoed in Li Yuanba’s ear.

“Li Yuanba, all these years, your strength has not diminished much.”

Li Yuanba, upon hearing the Great Tang Emperor’s voice, knew that the Emperor was hinting he couldn’t just leave like that.

Although he didn’t know how many years had passed, the majesty of the Great Tang Emperor was always etched in Li Yuanba’s heart.

Since Li Yuanba previously did not recognize the Great Tang Emperor, he hadn’t taken Him seriously.

Now that he had recognized the Great Tang Emperor, Li Yuanba could no longer face Him as calmly as before.

After awkwardly laughing a few times, “Your Majesty, my strength has indeed regressed a bit.”

“Having sealed my primordial spirit, this body is now bound with Chang’an City, unable to advance my cultivation even a step further, only able to grow together with Chang’an City.”

“After Your Majesty retakes Chang’an City, there will be hope for my strength to make progress.”

Upon saying this, Li Yuanba’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

It was as if,

For Li Yuanba, advancing in strength was the most important thing.

The Great Tang Emperor heard Li Yuanba’s words, his eyes shifted slightly, looked at Li Yuanba a few times, nodded gently, and then walked slowly towards the inner hall of the palace.

Only when the figures of the Great Tang Emperor and Li Chengqian had disappeared from Li Yuanba’s line of sight, did Li Yuanba finally withdraw his gaze.

It was only then,

That Li Yuanba still felt as if he were living in a dream, touched his head, then let out a heavy sigh.
