The Adventures Of The Young Master

Yanlu Rou knew that someone from the court would come here eventually. But it looked like they couldn't sit back for even a second and immediately came here the moment the devils were gone. What could it even mean? For Yanlu Rou, she already knew.

Jin Rou also knew what perhaps this person from the court wanted. He was warned by the overlord to be wary of them, so they probably were concocting something outrageous.

After a few minutes, the twin door opened once again and revealed a middle-aged woman with a comparable beauty. Though she was a bit tad old, and she had a normal complexion, she was still beautiful with her blue hair. Not just that, her blue qipao was also tight and was hugging her that it was revealing her sexy curves.

"Greeting, Lady Yanlu, and Your Majesties." The middle-aged woman spoke with an air of arrogance and said, "I am Celisia, a member of the Court Council. I am here to discuss something with you."

Yanlu Rou was still the head of the family. And she greeted back with a fake smile, "Miss Celisia, I am free to discuss anything with you. Please feel free."

Celisia wanted to directly talk at Jin Rou. After all, she thought that Jin Rou would be easier to talk to as he had still no firm standing even as a celestial king. But she never thought that Yanlu Rou would see her through.

However, it didn't shake her that much and moved her glasses to her nose and said, "Very well, Lady Yanlu. I am here to ask some questions regarding the recent incident."

"Oh, I thought we would be discussing something? You never said it is an interrogation." Yanlu Rou smirked. She knew that this was coming.

"Lady Yanlu, you can't put it like that. This is just a short interview and discussion. So you can't say that I'm interrogating you. After all, I am asking you nicely." Celisia spoke so calm yet cold.

Yanlu Rou could clearly hear the arrogance and pride of this woman. She couldn't help but smile and almost laughed it out, "Very well, Celisia. What is it that you want to ask?"

"Our Court Council has received news that someone from the Su family has died in battle. They want an answer why you let the precious guests participat and put them in danger." Celisia spoke clearly. But her words were already sharp enough to blame the Rou family.

Of course, Yanlu Rou could sense this. But she answered, "The Su family and I came to an agreement about that. I didn't force anyone of them to participate. They just wanted to help. So, what can I do? The situation was also tight since we are short on people. So how can I decline such an opportunity?"

"I understand the situation you are in. But you should have never let them participate. Because the battle is very dangerous. They are our esteemed guests and now that someone died from their family, they would surely try to get back at us." Celisia was still arrogant as ever.

"Are you saying that I dragged the whole realm into the mess?" Yanlu Rou chuckled and said, "Miss Celisia, you and your ancestors aren't even in the frontlines. You all just hid in your nests, ignoring my call for assistance. So what right do you have to question me, the Rou family Head?"

Since the other party was already attacking her, might as well she fought back. Because, if she didn't, she would be thought as a pushover.

"Lady Yanlu, please watch your words. The ancestors aren't hiding in their nests. They are racking their brains how to be of help during that time. However, because they are already old, we couldn't afford to dispatch any of them. We are afraid that they will immediately be killed." Celisia tried to defend.

"So those old bastards are more important than the celestial family you take a blind eye to this matter and let us fend for ourselves, is that what you want to say?" Yanlu Rou laughed coldly, "It looks like that your ancestors can't sit back any longer and try to seize the position of my family here."

If it was in the past, Yanlu Rou needed to tread carefully as the Court Council had almost the same reputation and power with them. But now that her grandson was already this powerful, who would actually dare?

Celisia wanted to say something but Yanlu Rou spoke once again, "I know how much your court is trying their best to oust us family in this position so that you can be the new overlords. In fact, you might have thought to use the devils to annihilate us and would eventually appear when the right time comes, seizing the opportunity to become the hero of the world. And now that the family survived, you accused as if we are the criminals here? You all from the Court Council are too bored so you jump like clowns here in my territory?"

"This is my last warning. Please watch your words. The council isn't something you can take lightly of!" This time, Celisia's voice was trembling from obvious rage. But she still managed to keep her composure.

Yanlu Rou wanted to say something more. But Jin Rou joined the conversation and said, "Who are you to give us a warning, Miss Celisia? If you don't want any more shame, you should see yourself out because no matter what, you all are really clowns jumping for comedic drama here."

"How dare you!" Celisia finally couldn't keep her composure and snapped, "You are just the celestial king in name. You think you already own the world?"

Celisia was a bit happy inside. She was pressured against Yanlu Rou. But since Jin Rou decided to join, she could attack him instead of Yanlu Rou. In other terms, she was looking at Jin Rou like an easier prey to bully.

Because in her mind, if Jin Rou wanted to keep his position, he needed to bow down before her and the Celestial Court.
