Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 221: Ji Jiuyu, the Old Lady

Yuan Chengfeng nodded slightly and looked towards the tower with a conflicted and melancholic expression. After a while, he asked the two girls, "How is your master... doing recently?"

One of the girls hesitated for a moment and cupped her fists, saying, "Master hasn't appeared for a long time. It's probably because her old injury has flared up. I wonder if there is any news related to our master outside?"

Yuan Chengfeng coughed lightly, feeling inexplicably guilty. He waved his sleeves and looked towards the tower, saying, "Ji Shimei, there's something I need to tell you. Your lost son has been found. I wanted to tell you a few days ago, but I was afraid of disturbing your peace..."

Before he could finish speaking, ripples of subtle fluctuations spread throughout the entire tower, followed by a cold voice, "Yuan Chengfeng, did you block the news from the Jiang family?"

As the voice spoke, a white figure floated out and looked at Yuan Chengfeng disdainfully.

It turned out to be a woman with a high bun and a white embroidered phoenix silk dress. It was impossible to tell her age, as she had the appearance of a twenty-year-old girl but the maturity of a woman in her thirties. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, and her slender waist was wrapped in a light veil, making her an ethereal and beautiful woman.

However, her aura was extremely cold, as if she possessed an unrivaled dominance that ignored everything.

She was the legitimate daughter of Emperor Xuanzong. At the age of thirteen, she instigated her older brother, the Great Emperor, to join forces with Prince Qin, Prince Qin's heir, and Su Wuji, the former general of Nanli, to carry out a palace coup, seizing the throne from her eldest brother, Crown Prince Chongyu. The bodies of countless court officials were left strewn across the palace.

In addition to her extraordinary talent, she began cultivating in the Tai Ping Palace at the age of twelve. After her husband died, she often resided in the Tai Ping Palace. Now, her realm was unfathomable.

This kind of woman gave off an indescribable sense of arrogance and aloofness even when she did nothing.

The esteemed Venerable Yuan Chengfeng couldn't help but chuckle and quietly took a step back. "The main reason is..."

Ji Jiuyu no longer wanted to listen to his nonsense. She lightly landed on the back of a white crane and flew straight down the mountain.

Yuan Chengfeng slapped his forehead and his figure flashed, using the power of the wind to instantly catch up to Ji Jiuyu from below. "Ji Shimei, listen carefully. Your child possesses Divine Dao True Qi and an extraordinary talent that surpasses even you and the Western Qin Prince from back then. Remember to bring him back. This is an order from Master!"

A trace of astonishment flashed through Ji Jiuyu's beautiful eyes, followed by a look of worry between her eyebrows.

...

In the imperial palace, in the Imperial Heaven Hall, a faint mist filled the air.

On the grand and solemn palace platform, there were relics and portraits of the Great Emperor Tian Shou.

Dozens of old concubines were dressed in plain clothes, devoutly praying and reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Princess Shengping, dressed in white mourning clothes, was among them. If she wanted to look mournful, it was because there was a hint of sorrow between her eyebrows at this moment. However, it couldn't conceal her handsome and sweet appearance.

Beside her, Prince Wu, Ji Peiyu, leaned over and whispered, "Princess, have you heard about that kid, Jiang Yuqing?"

Princess Shengping's expression paused. "What... has he done this time?"

Ji Peiyu's face still carried an incredulous expression. "Princess, you really haven't asked about anything these past few days. Do you know how terrifying that kid's talent is? He broke through the seventh peak of the Forbidden Land of the Nine Phoenix Mountains. That's an ability only the Emperor Taizu had. Moreover, he possesses both the Ice and Thunder Divine Dao True Qi, and he condensed eight True Qi to defeat Lü Jiu in just three moves. How terrifying is that? Fortunately, I didn't fight him back then! This matter is probably going to alarm the court and the public. Soon, Shen Yin, Hong Hua, and Celestial Secrets will also send people!"

Princess Shengping furrowed her brows, her expression becoming extremely complicated. Then, she closed her eyes and remained silent.

Ji Peiyu pondered for a moment and cautiously asked, "Princess, it is said... that you and him were very intimate on Mount Fulong back then, and you made a lifelong commitment. Is this true or false?"

"Shut up!"

"Oh!"...

Early morning.

Xin Zhuo sat cross-legged behind the desk, practicing the method given to him by the old Venerable in his family to calm his restless Blood Qi. Of course, he didn't learn it himself. He found it completely incomprehensible, so he handed it over to Xiong Zhang, who had the highest comprehension among his disciples.

Yes, who would have thought that this innocent Western Demon Bloodline girl, Bloodline, would have the best comprehension among the five girls. Not only has she already mastered the Wudang and Shaolin Secret Techniques that were taught to them a few days ago, but she also comprehended the techniques given by the Jiang Family Venerable in just one night.

Her comprehension can be considered extraordinary.

The techniques taught by the Jiang Family Venerable are indeed specialized in their field. After practicing for more than ten universes, most of the heat in her body has been eliminated.

At this moment, Xiong Zhang is sitting cross-legged on the side, secretly looking at him, blinking incessantly. She is just curious why the Crown Prince, who already knows it himself, would secretly teach her.

Thinking of this, her face turns slightly red, and she wrinkles her nose, looking extremely cute.

"Your Highness!"

Sai Qingzhu suddenly rushes in and bows, saying, "Yesterday, representatives from the Qintian Observatory, Zhenwu Division, Autumn Wind Academy, Guozi Academy, Nanling Prince's Mansion, Divine Strategy Army, and Cexuan Division have all come and requested to see Your Highness!"

Xin Zhuo opens his eyes and asks, "What did the family say?"

This matter is actually quite helpless. According to his original intention, he would rather lie low and develop slowly. Lying low is the way of the king.

He had investigated the forbidden area of the Autumn Wind Academy in advance and searched it before entering. He confirmed that it was almost impossible to be seen inside before acting so recklessly. Whether I admit it or not, what can you do to me?

Now he is exposed to everyone's gaze, and it's difficult to deny it.

Sai Qingzhu replies, "The others are still manageable, but the Qintian Observatory's He Congyun, the Heavenly Master, has personally come. Firstly, he represents the Emperor, secondly, he is the disciple of the immortal in the palace, and lastly, he is a good friend of the late Qin Prince. I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him!"

As soon as she finishes speaking, footsteps can be heard outside, and an old voice laughs, "Sister, rest assured, I, as the Emperor, am searching for talents for His Majesty and looking for talented disciples for the immortal. This is a good thing and will definitely not harm the foundation of the Jiang Family, nor does it have any offensive intentions."

The voice of the old lady is helpless, "My daughter-in-law is still in the Taiping Palace. Even if my grandson enters the sect for cultivation, he should follow his mother!"

"It's alright! It's alright! Let's see first."

With the sound of conversation, a large group of people enters the Great Hall. They are all officials from the six ministries of the court and scholars from various academies. The leader is the old lady and an old man with white hair.

When everyone enters the hall, they immediately look up at the Crown Prince behind the desk. Their eyes light up as if they have seen some kind of treasure.

The old lady sighs, "Grandson, pay your respects to the elders!"

Xin Zhuo can only cup his hands in salute.

But the leading old man has already appeared in front of him in a flash. He reaches out his hand and presses it against Xin Zhuo's pulse.

The same aura as the family Venerable.

And the dozens of people in the hall look at him eagerly, as if waiting for the Heavenly Master to distinguish the truth from the false.

But the Heavenly Master exclaims, "It's a bit strange..."

Xin Zhuo smiles, "What's strange?"

The methods of you old men are useless against me.

"What's strange?"

The dozens of people in the hall can't help but ask curiously. They have too many purposes for coming here, curiosity, the instructions of the people behind them, whether their families can form an alliance, etc. Naturally, they want to ask clearly.

The Heavenly Master does not explain, but carefully observes Xin Zhuo for a while, then retreats back to the desk. A majestic Venerable aura emanates from him as he draws a rotating vortex with his right hand, the center of which is aimed at Xin Zhuo.

Xin Zhuo feels that the True Qi in his body is almost uncontrollable and wants to surge out. This seems to be a brilliant martial art that draws out True Qi from the body. Of course, if he wants to resist it desperately, it is not difficult, but it is really boring. After a moment of stalemate, the Xuanbing Thunder True Qi and the Waterwalking True Qi surge out, emitting dazzling brilliance.

There is immediately a burst of astonishment and restlessness in the hall. They have truly witnessed the divine True Qi!
