Chapter 169 Su Xiao storms into the palace and displays his power
For some reason, as soon as Qingbao arrives at the palace and sees Xia Jingheng, her determination to achieve hegemony is triggered.
Everyone: !!!
How dare she address the Crown Prince by his given name?
Si He:? ? ?
No, I'm your mother, baby.
"Qingbao, why do you call me that?"
Qingbao frowned. "It's just a title. People who achieve great things never concern themselves with trivial matters. You're not like my kind of person."
Sihe's pupils trembled.
When Mingming is at home, Qingbao is perfectly normal!
How come they turned against the Heavenly Gang as soon as they entered the palace?
At this time.
Xia Jingheng silently pulled out a feather duster from behind his wheelchair.
Do you want this?
Si He shook his head.
Forget it, there are so many people here, let's give the child some face.
Only the Emperor remained calm, saying, "You'll get used to it. Let her call me whatever she wants."
Qingbao patted the Emperor's thigh, looking pleased, "You're still the one I love the most."
The emperor had a slightly arrogant look on his face.
Qingbao calmly instructed, "Proclaim the decree."
The father-in-law, regaining his composure, continued reading the imperial edict:
"Si He, daughter of the Si family, is intelligent, gentle, and virtuous. She has rendered meritorious service in saving the lives of the Fifth Princess and the Ninth Prince. Therefore, Si He is hereby granted the title of Lady of the Third Rank and a plaque is placed above her residence."
"Your subject..." Si He was about to receive the imperial decree.
Then a burst of laughter came from outside.
"Hahaha, then wouldn't I be the husband of a third-rank imperial consort?"
Qingbao frowned slightly, sensing a hint of magical power.
Everyone looked over.
Two figures, one in black and one in white, appeared instantly inside the hall.
Many people were quite frightened and took a step back.
"You, what are you, daring to trespass into the palace!" The guards drew their swords and swung them at them.
Si Yao, a figure in black, grabbed him with one hand, floated him in mid-air, and then threw him down.
This stunned everyone present.
"Su Xiao?" The Emperor narrowed his eyes, looking at the newcomer.
Su Xiao stood with his back straight and his hands behind his back, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.
"Long time no see, everyone."
Minister Li's face darkened. "You...you audacious Su Xiao, how dare you be so insolent!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Su Xiao waved his hand, slapping Minister Li across the air.
Minister Li was sent flying, crashing into a pillar and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"What I do is none of your business to interfere with!" Su Xiao sneered.
Si He couldn't stand it any longer and walked up to them, "Su Xiao, Si Yao, what exactly do you want to do!"
"You condoned your daughter's murder of Master Zhu Yi, so as her father, I naturally have to teach her a lesson. Si He, you've offended the cultivation world, do you still expect to live a comfortable life as a noblewoman in the mortal realm?"
"Believe me, as long as you're willing to come with me and Qingbao, I'll pretend that imperial decree of divorce never happened. I'll take you to the Immortal Realm so we can cultivate together..."
Su Xiao reached out his hand to Si He, his tone full of arrogance.
Si Yao was filled with jealousy, and in the end, she decided not to go look.
Since becoming a vengeful ghost, she has been unworthy of Xiao Ge, who is an immortal.
But that doesn’t mean Sihe is worthy of it.
So she was jealous.
"My imperial edict is witnessed by heaven and earth. How could you not have done it? Su Xiao, you are really bold. Have you forgotten that when the imperial edict was read, you were just a mortal?" The emperor sneered, his gaze sweeping over Su Xiao.
The path of cultivation has only just begun, yet he can't wait to return and show off his power.
How could General Su have such a son!
Su Xiao's expression changed slightly. "I won't stoop to the level of a mortal like you."
"Sihe, come with me. With our friendship since childhood, I will treat you well. From now on, we will be a perfect couple, just like Master Zhuyi and the others."
He reached out his hand to Si He.
What use is a mere third-rank imperial consort?
Can it grant immortality? Can it increase one's cultivation level? Or will it bring endless wealth and glory?
"You haven't even learned to be three-tenths human, but you've already captured seven-tenths of the official's authority perfectly. Do you think I, the judge, don't exist?!"
Qingbao struggled to squeeze her head out from under the adults' legs.
Once her chubby body emerged, her grimacing expression instantly transformed into a calm and domineering one.
It has the air of a hegemon.
“Qingbao, don’t think you’re invincible just because you’ve won twice. Let me tell you, there are always people more powerful than you, and there’s always something beyond your reach. The most powerful senior sister in Tianxian has already emerged from seclusion. If she just moves a finger, everyone here, including that Fu Tu, will die without a trace. I can’t bear to see you end up like this. After all, we’re father and daughter. Come back to Tianxian with me to confess your sins. Maybe you can turn over a new leaf and repent.”
Su Xiao now speaks with a variety of eloquent phrases.
Hiding in the corner, Tang Chen overheard these words and forcibly suppressed the urge to beat this idiot to death.
They actually used her to threaten Qingbao?
This clearly shows that she leaked her plan to Qingbao.
Despite all she did, she still couldn't completely dispel Qingbao's wariness.
This idiot then appeared, trying to ruin her plans!
How dare a noob who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage be so arrogant and boastful!
Who sent them?
Who on earth is trying to frame her?!
I haven't figured it out yet.
Su Xiao then made his move against Qingbao.
He gathered magical energy in his hand and reached out to grab Qingbao.
A strong wind blew inside the hall, and a flash of white light appeared.
"Qingbao, you're dead! This is a magic weapon the Grand Elder gave me, specifically to capture you. Come with me!"
Su Xiao's smile was sinister.
Qingbao pulled out the judge's pen, "I don't care who you are, if you want to arrest me, let's see if you're bigger than the King of Hell!"
That's all.
The judge swung his pen fiercely.
The white light in Su Xiao's hand remained unbroken, enveloping Qing Bao.
Damn, this thing is really something.
She had no choice but to use the Book of Life and Death.
The little hand hadn't even had time to pull out the Book of Life and Death.
The little one was instantly tackled to the ground, and held tightly in someone's arms.
The white light from Su Xiao's hand struck the man's back.
Tang Chen coughed up blood, held Qingbao in her arms, and turned to look at Su Xiao, her eyes filled with a strong warning.
“Tang Chen…” Si He quickly helped her up, and then went to look at Qing Bao.
Qingbao roared, "Su Xiao, you're asking for death!"
The Book of Life and Death pressed down hard on Su Xiao.
Su Xiao was instantly trapped in place, unable to move.
His eyes kept glancing at Tang Chen, pleading for help.
Tang Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face unusually gloomy.
"Sister Tangchen, are you alright?" Qingbao asked calmly.
Tang Chen shook her head, but when she thought that it was the Great Elder's magic weapon that had hit her, she knew that as a mortal, she couldn't reveal her true identity.
He had no choice but to secretly use his spiritual power, injuring himself, then spitting out a mouthful of blood and collapsing.
His breathing was faint.
Qingbao's pupils widened in shock. She examined Tang Chen's soul and found that he was indeed injured.
Was she wrong to suspect them before?
The young judge felt somewhat guilty and used his power to heal Tang Chen's injuries.
Su Xiao, trapped under the Book of Life and Death, underwent a rapid change in expression.
"Let me out, Qingbao. If you're so capable, then don't use anything from the underworld. Let's see how your father teaches you a lesson!"
Damn it, the Second Elder clearly sent them to help Senior Sister Tang Chen.
—Using a magical artifact to harm Qingbao, the senior sister sacrificed herself to save Qingbao in exchange for Qingbao's trust.
But now, my senior sister is ignoring them.
Even several elders couldn't escape the Book of Life and Death, let alone an apprentice like him who hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Ha—you suddenly appeared out of nowhere, attacked my men, and you still dare to talk to me about skills? Uncle Emperor."
Qingbao spoke in a cold, gloomy voice, her gaze terrifyingly deep.
The Emperor said, "I am here."
"Now, Su Xiao can't escape the charge of beheading this time!"
"I know! Guards!"
They saw the guards with swords raised, gradually surrounding them.
Su Xiao became increasingly terrified.
If Tang Chen doesn't wake up and save him soon, he's really going to have to call out to her.
