"Father, why did you bring all the officials out to greet me in person? Didn't the emperor say that he would take Young Master Long Jiu and the others to the court..."

After walking to the group of people standing in front of the palace, the ninth prince first came out and bowed to the burly man standing in front with his head held high, which confirmed Long Jiu and his men's initial speculation.

For Long Jiu and the six companions behind him, it may be the first time that he faced the person with the highest power in this Dragon Empire so close, that is, Emperor Byron Langrick of the Dragon Empire! After carefully looking at the old man over 50 years old, Long Jiu was surprised to find that although he was over fifty, Emperor Langrick was not only not old at all, but his eyes were not flashing with sparkles, and the ambition in his eyes was not destroyed at all. Moreover, his long-term high position made the old emperor also have an indescribable aura. With this momentum alone, Emperor Langrick could create a spiritual deterrence to ordinary people. This was under the premise that Emperor Langrick did not use his own fighting spirit at all!

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it's really worthy of being the king of a country. He's almost at dusk in his life, and he's still so energetic! It's said that being an emperor is very tired, and I think this guy is still enjoying it! Hehe, but this is also related to the fact that the entire Magic Martial Continent is not in a state of division, accompanied by a long-term war of wars..."

I muttered a few words in my heart that the term "emperor" is not very strange to Long Jiu. In the 21st century of the previous life, although there was no so-called "emperor" in the true sense, the presidents, prime ministers, or presidents of various countries were also "emperors" on another level. But one thing is that when facing those presidents and prime ministers, they can maintain a complete equal status, but that equality theory is obviously inapplicable in this world...

"Bold - who are you, boy over there? Why don't you kneel down and bow to the emperor when you see him?"

A angrily shout directly interrupted Long Jiu's thoughts, and subconsciously looked around. Only then did he realize that except for the Ninth Prince who was the biological son of Emperor Lanlik and did not kneel on the ground, the remaining people were only left, and he was still standing there blankly. Everyone, including Qi Jianxin, had already kneeled respectfully on one knee and saluted Emperor Lanlik and greeted him.

"Uh, you are the Emperor Lanlik who is standing at the highest point of this Dragon Empire? I didn't expect that he was still such a spirited old man, who was completely different from the old-fashioned look that I imagined by this young master! No wonder the Dragon Empire can intimidate the four empires around at the same time. With a monarch like you, it can be seen that the warriors and generals under him are all brave and good at fighting!"

While touching his chin, Long Jiu looked up and down at the old emperor in front of him with a blunt look. Although he said that, he didn't seem to have any intention of kneeling down and saluting.

"Bold--! What kind of thing are you? How dare you talk to the emperor like this! If you are disrespectful to the emperor, you should punish the nine clans! Take it down for me if you come!"

The civil servant who spoke before who stood beside the old emperor seemed even more angry after hearing Long Jiu's words. Even Long Jiu's words were actually praising the old emperor and his soldiers. However, such disrespectful way of speaking was absolutely not allowed, not to mention that Long Jiu was calling the old emperor, but he actually used the word "you"!

"Slow down—! I think this little guy's true nature is quite interesting! You should be Yaotian's youngest son. He always complains to me that his youngest son is not good and has no future. But some time ago, he finally smiled. Long Jiu, you finally didn't embarrass the Long family! Hahaha!"

He reached out to stop the official's scolding. The old emperor looked at Long Jiu with a little interest in his eyes. As the emperor, he had not met such a little devil who did not understand the rules for a long time, and he was also the "waste young master" who had been hovering in his ears! He really wanted to see and see how capable this young master of the Long family has now!

"However, you dare to be so rude in front of me. It seems that Yaotian still doesn't pass the tutor. If it weren't for your first offense and one of Yaotian's only three remaining children, I would have let you separate your body and head! The next time I see me, I don't want you to behave like this, do you know?"

The hearty laughter that had been before and the serious attitude that suddenly took a sharp turn for the moment formed a huge contrast on Emperor Lanric. It almost didn't make Long Jiu breathless by the sudden momentum! When he looked up at Emperor Lanric again, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Grandma, this old bastard dares to use force to suppress me! Humph, wait for me. Now I am indeed no match for you, the old guy, but in another five or ten years, it will not be your old bastard's turn to be arrogant. If you offend me, I will directly take your Dragon Empire! Let you take a group of children to drink the northwest wind!"

If the old emperor knew what Long Jiu was thinking now, I am afraid that no matter how great Long Jiu had face, he would not be able to survive today! Fortunately, the disguise skills that our Lord Pig-Foot learned in the 21st century were still quite powerful. He was cursing the other person in his heart, but his face was filled with harmless smiles.

"Hehe, Your Majesty the Emperor, Long Jiu doesn't understand. What are the rules and rudeness you mean? I don't know what mistakes did Long Jiu make? In Long Jiu's opinion, I did not make any mistakes or said something wrong... Could it be that the warriors and generals of the Dragon Empire are not so powerful..."

"Bastard - Long Jiu! Don't talk nonsense in front of the emperor! General Long is the first general of the empire, why did he give birth to a son who likes to talk nonsense like you!"

Before Long Jiu could finish his words, another sharp voice was heard behind Emperor Lanlik opposite him. Looking in the direction of the sound, what reflected in Long Jiu's eyes was a thin and pointed face, and the distorted expression almost made Long Jiu feel disgusted and vomited!

"Hahaha-Long Jiu, I haven't met a young man as brave as you for a long time! No matter what your purpose is, I'm starting to be curious now. Let me tell you, why do you think it's the right thing to do if you don't kneel down to say hello when you see me, and still speak so casually? If your reason is correct, I won't care about you today. If you can't explain this matter clearly, then don't blame me for being rude! Even if I punish Yaotian's child, he won't blame me too much!"

When he said the last sentence, the old emperor had already brought a trace of seriousness and warning from the superior. If it weren't for Long Jiu, the young master of the Long family with a sensitive identity, how could he allow the other party to make trouble for such a long time!

Shaking his head with a smile, Long Jiu stepped forward and stood less than five meters away from the old emperor. He raised his neck and looked into the sky, pretending to be a very stinky fart and said, "Your Majesty, I ask you, how do you think of yourself compared to this sky?"

After a moment of silence, the old emperor looked up at the vast sky, and said in a deep voice: "The vast sky is so vast that people's hearts cannot see through it. I am just an insignificant person under the sky. How can it be compared with the entire sky!"

Nodding with satisfaction, Long Jiu looked down at the ground, raised his foot and stomped on the ground a few times, and chuckled, "Since that's the case, then I'll ask you again, what about you, compared to the same vast land under our feet?"

This time, the old emperor's brows tightened a little more. He pondered for a while before slowly shook his head, and said softly: "Although I am the son of heaven and ruled the entire Shenlong Empire, compared with the wider magic martial arts continent, the territory of the Shenlong Empire only occupies a part of it. The earth is as famous as the sky, and I am not as good as it is! Not as good as..."

Hearing the satisfactory answer, a bright smile suddenly burst out on Long Jiu's face. He blinked his eyes at the old emperor Byron Langric, who was thinking about it, and chuckled: "That's right, Master, I'm glad that your thoughts have not been imprisoned. You also know that although your identity is noble, you are just an ordinary human being compared to this world that constitutes the whole world. Think about it, since I am standing under the blue sky, I will not kneel down! I will step on the ground and not kneel down! Why do I have to kneel down again?"

Long Jiu said this. Whether it was the old emperor standing there or the person standing beside him kneeling or bent down, a hint of dullness flashed across his face. After so many years of living on this continent, the concept of esteeming and inferiority has been deeply rooted in everyone's heart. I have never imagined what the entire magic martial arts continent will become after one day, and the first step to eliminate the class system is to not kneel down to the superiors or the emperor!

Long Jiu has been from the 21st century when everyone is equal. It is absolutely impossible to make him kneel down and kowtow to someone here! Even if the other party is the king of an empire, it is the same! However, not everyone cannot kneel. After coming to this continent, Long Jiu has knelt down in total, namely his parents, father Long Yaotian and mother Zhu. Only these two people who gave his original owner the body with life will willingly kneel down and say hello.
