"Zixin, are you telling the truth? Is that really what you think?"
Faced with Xiao Fan's repeated questioning, Nangong Zixin could only painfully turn her face away.
At this moment, Nangong Zixin's father, Nangong Kuang, spoke up to Mu Qiuyao to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please have mercy! It's all because of that brat Xiao Fan who's been pestering my Zixin. She really wants to marry into the Heavenly Absolute Holy Land."
After saying that, he glared at Nangong Zixin and said, "You rebellious daughter! What kind of status does the Holy Son have? How could you treat him like this! Do you want to ruin the Nangong family?!"
Nangong Zixin was already in tears.
Everyone in this family treats her as a tool for exchanging benefits; her life is incredibly difficult.
Mu Qiuyao scanned the crowd expressionlessly, seemingly searching for the person with the Pure Yang Body.
However, after scanning the area with his divine sense, he found no target.
So he said to Lü Baichuan, "Lü Baichuan, you are the groom on your wedding day. Tell me, how do you want to handle this matter? I will decide for you."
Lu Baichuan smiled slightly, then looked at Nangong Zixin and her entourage, and said, "Your Majesty, since Zixin is willing to live a good life with me, I am willing to give her a chance. The wedding can proceed."
As for Xiao Fan, as long as he makes a heavenly oath promising not to disturb my and Zi Xin's lives again, he can be let go.
The guests present nodded in agreement.
"Everyone says the Holy Son is arrogant and domineering, but now it seems quite good?"
"That's right. Even after such a humiliating incident, he was willing to reconcile with the other party, which shows that we have been misunderstanding him all along."
“Holy Son, if all else fails, you can consider me. I can marry you.”
In an instant, everyone's impression of Lü Baichuan changed drastically.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan glared fiercely at Lü Baichuan and said, word by word, "Even if I die, I would never make such a false oath!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Zixin mustered all her strength and slapped him across the face.
Xiao Fan was stunned, covering his face and looking at Nangong Zixin in disbelief: "Zixin, you... hit me?"
Nangong Zixin resolutely said, "Xiao Fan, don't be so shameless. Her Majesty the Empress and the Holy Son have already given you a chance. Don't be ungrateful. Hurry up and swear an oath."
Xiao Fan's cheeks twitched uncontrollably: "Do you really want me to make a vow to the Heavenly Dao?"
Nangong Zixin's eyes were red, and a tear rolled down her cheek. Unable to bear looking at Xiao Fan's despairing face, she turned her face away.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiao Fan, we are ultimately destined to be apart."
"Why! Why! Why, why, Zi Xin!"
At this moment, Xiao Fan also broke down.
Just as Xiao Fan was about to fight to the death, Jian Dian stopped him and whispered, "Young friend, listen to Miss Nangong. Don't let her efforts be in vain. Survival is the most important thing."
“Ah~~”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan burst into tears.
"Okay, I'll swear it!"
When he said those words, Xiao Fan felt all his strength drain away, and he knelt down in a daze.
Just as I was about to swear an oath, a melodious song suddenly rang out behind me.
"A certain wandering knight, whose name is widely known, is now talked about in the martial arts world."
There are many enemies, a few friends, but few adversaries.
The rain has ceased, the wind has surged like a tide, and with a single move, a raging storm has been unleashed
Before the move was finished, three laughs rang out, and everyone was drunk…
Immediately, everyone was drawn to the singing and followed the sound to Shen Zhao's location.
Shen Zhao, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, tapped his wine glass with a chopstick to keep time.
Yu Xiyan's bright eyes lit up as she looked at Shen Zhao with some surprise.
She had heard this song in her past life; it was sung by a man named Wu Yazi who once lived on the streets of Chang'an.
Unfortunately, we never managed to meet.
"A distant wind blows sharply; I suddenly turn around, and the bright moon shines over a thousand mountains."
The world is vast, but my spirits are high; I march with songs to Chang'an.
The lamplight was bright, the wine was warm, and everyone in the room was enjoying themselves.
The crowd cheered, then dispersed, their robes fluttering, as dark clouds gathered...
The familiar melody captivated even Mu Qiuyao, causing her to momentarily forget about the dispute on the scene and gradually immerse herself in the song.
"Only the young people of this world are fond of roaming the land."
Settle scores while you're young, with a light sword and a swift horse.
I have no lingering attachments to the mortal world, only a love for life and death.
"Discussing philosophy in drunkenness, plucking flowers when sober..."
After the song ended, Shen Zhao calmly walked to Xiao Fan's side, pressed his arm and said, "A man's knees are worth gold, what kind of behavior is this, crying and wailing? Get off me!"
The next moment, the divine power pressing down on the five people instantly shattered.
Mu Qiuyao then realized what was happening and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
Shen Zhao sighed softly, then hung up the spirit crystal bearing the emblem of the Court of Justice, put one hand behind his back, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, his demeanor had completely changed.
A solemn and imposing aura overwhelmed the entire audience.
"Elder Shen Zhao of the Court of Judgments greets Empress Xuantian."
"Shen Zhao? Shen Zhao!"
Mu Qiuyao looked at the man in front of her, immediately stood up, and a hint of excitement flashed in her cold eyes.
She tried to suppress her inner impulse and calmly asked, "Kid, are you also planning to get involved in this mess?"
At this moment, Yu Xiyan finally realized that Shen Zhao had actually confronted the Xuan Tian Empress directly, and was just about to speak up to stop him.
But Shen Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't want to get involved in your messy affairs. I'm here today on behalf of the Court of Justice to deal with one matter."
"What is it?" Mu Qiuyao asked curiously.
Shen Zhao pointed at Lü Baichuan: "List in detail the crimes committed by Lü Baichuan and the Lü family in the mortal world."
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
"What nonsense is he talking about?"
"I don't know, they even dared to provoke the Heavenly Saint Son?"
"Does he have a death wish? How dare he swagger in front of the Xuan Tian Empress?"
