Chapter 70 The Red Spider Lily, A Journey to the East Sea



Jiang Shumiao asked, "What about Xiaobai?"

Wen Zhixuan said in a deep voice, "This is why I came to see you. He is still young, and the Shen family may not treat him sincerely. I would like to trouble the princess to take good care of him out of consideration for our friendship as classmates."

After the Ruan, Xie, and Yu families fell, the old grudges between these families and Wen Zhixuansheng over the Equal Field Law seemed to vanish overnight.

Even Zhao Huaichu re-entered the Imperial Academy.

Jiang Shumiao had many classmates and playmates, and Shen Xubai was not one of them.

but--

"Actually, I also wanted to go to the East China Sea."

Wen Zhixuan looked at her.

Jiang Shumiao pursed her lips. "Last time I killed those powerful demons, the gods couldn't possibly be completely unaware. Their first target would be the Immortal Realm. What if they launch an attack in response…"

A day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth.

Half a year has passed on Earth, and half a day has passed in Heaven. Perhaps the Heavenly Emperor is already mustering his troops.

The restrictions she placed in the Celestial Realm were enough to alert the gods.

Wen Zhixuan understood her unspoken meaning: "You mean, the gods will be angry with the immortal realm for killing an ancient demon, and send troops to destroy them?"

Jiang Shumiao said slowly, "It's hard to say."

Wen Zhixuan remained silent.

Jiang Shumiao added, "Your ancestor is very mysterious; I'd like to meet him too."

She needs to find out who gave her that compass.

"As for Xiaobai, you can take him to the East Sea as well. One more won't make a difference."

Wen Zhixuan finally nodded.

"The princess is about to embark on a long journey. Will Lord Jiang and the eldest princess grant her permission?"

No matter how strong Jiang Shumiao is, in her parents' eyes, she is still just a four-year-old child, and they are definitely worried about her.

That is indeed the case.

The entire Jiang family, from top to bottom, opposed this matter.

The old lady said, "No, what are you doing going to the East Sea, you little baby? Mortals have so many schemes, even resorting to demons. Who knows what the immortals are up to?"

Jiang Zhixu nodded, "Even if there are no evil cultivators in the Immortal Realm, it's hard to guarantee that there aren't other schemes."

Jiang Yiqing said, "You killed an ancient demon. What if the gods come after you?"

Jiang Yining retorted, "But the demon tried to harm Miaomiao first, and Miaomiao only retaliated. The gods wouldn't be so unreasonable, would they?"

Jiang Shumiao subconsciously added, "They're just so unreasonable."

Jiang Yining gave a blank "Ah".

The old lady immediately said, "Then you absolutely cannot go."

Xiao Yitang remained silent, but her brows furrowed tightly, and her eyes held an unconcealed worry and reluctance.

Will my daughter ever come back?

Jiang Shumiao said, "The gods are not morally upright. I am going to the East Sea because I am afraid that they will take their anger out on the innocent. Besides, those demons have been supported by mortals. If the gods use this as an excuse to punish the mortals, it will be another natural disaster."

Jiang Zhixu and Jiang Yiqing both fell silent.

The old lady opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Xiao Yitang then asked, "When will you return?"

Jiang Zhixu and the others all looked at her.

Jiang Shumiao keenly sensed her mother's emotions, climbed into her arms, hugged her neck, and said softly, "Don't worry, Mother, I'll be back as soon as things are resolved."

After she finished speaking, she kissed her mother on the cheek and gave her a big smile.

The gloom in Xiao Yitang's heart had not completely dissipated, but he couldn't bear to disappoint her.

"When are you leaving? I'll pack your bags."

Jiang Yining was shocked, "Mother?"

Xiao Yitang hugged her daughter and said calmly, "Miaomiao also has her responsibilities. As her family, we should support her and not stop her."

Jiang Zhixu and Jiang Yiqing both fell silent.

The old lady remained silent.

Xiao Yitang carried her daughter back into the house. "Do you want to bring your toys?"

"want."

Jiang Shumiao nodded, "Those were all bought for me by my older brothers and sisters, I can't throw them away."

A smile appeared on Xiao Yitang's lips.

"Okay, I'll install them all for you."

Jiang Shumiao had a lot of things, and even two boxes couldn't hold them all. With a wave of her hand, she stuffed them all into her Qiankun Sleeve.

She was going on a long journey and could no longer go to the Imperial Academy; she had to inform Emperor Hongde.

After listening to her explain the reasons in detail, Emperor Hongde sighed.

“Miaomiao is so young, yet she has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting all living beings. In the end, it is because her uncle is incompetent that he has dragged you down.”

Even before Emperor Hongde knew of Jiang Shumiao's identity as a goddess, he doted on his niece and would immediately send her any rare or unusual items he acquired.

Despite escaping her predetermined fate, Jiang Shumiao still harbored deep feelings for her uncle.

"My uncle was a good emperor, and also a good uncle."

Emperor Hongde smiled, his eyes gentle.

"Your uncle will certainly not let Miaomiao down. Go see your grandmother, she loves you the most."

The Empress Dowager was actually alright; although she was reluctant, she knew she couldn't stop them.

The fifth princess reacted the most.

"I'll go with you."

Jiang Shumiao: "..."

The sixth princess also came over and tugged at her sleeve, parroting her words, "Let's go together."

Not only her, but several younger princes and princesses were also very curious about the immortal realm, but after all, their status was extraordinary and they could not leave the palace.

Jiang Shumiao patiently said, "I have important business to attend to when I go out, not to sightsee."

The Fifth Princess pursed her lips, looking unhappy.

Jiang Shumiao comforted her, "I'll be back soon, and I'll bring you gifts."

She had to persuade her many times before she finally dissuaded the Fifth Princess from her idea.

Jiang Shumiao was about to leave the capital, and Wen Zhixuan resigned from his official post.

These two bombshell announcements left the powerful families completely stunned, as if a huge windfall had suddenly fallen from the sky.
