Chapter 108 Was I awesome just now?
"My dear disciple, Master is leaving now. You should endure the trials and tribulations well."
"And the one who just said he was my descendant, I advise you to be on your own and go where you should go. If you continue to make mistakes, the abyss of hell will be waiting for you."
After the woman finished speaking, her figure gradually disappeared. As she disappeared, Bu Ruo's mind once again rang with that arrogant laugh: "Haha, damn girl, wasn't I awesome just now?"
Bu Ruo: ...
At this time, Bier gently pulled her sleeve from behind, and Bu Ruo, who had recovered from her shock, realized that... everyone around her was staring at her, which showed how much of a stir the woman's words had caused.
Bu Ruo didn't care at all. He rolled his eyes at the prince and wanted to leave with Xiao Yulan.
"Princess Zhan, please stay. The Emperor invites you, Prince Zhan, and the Crown Prince to the Imperial Study."
Bu Ruo had no choice but to be led into the palace by Xiao Yulan.
In the imperial study, the emperor was unusually gentle. He immediately asked someone to give her and Xiao Yulan a seat. You know, the prince was still standing.
"Princess Zhan, you...you..."
Bu Ruo blinked and asked knowingly, "What does the emperor want to ask?"
"I want to ask, are you really the disciple of that immortal just now?"
Bu Ruo blinked her beautiful eyes: "She always appears in my dreams, right? After all, didn't she just say that I came here to experience a tribulation? I don't remember anything and I don't know anything."
"Hmm... By the way, isn't there a Taoist priest who doesn't follow the right path? How about you ask him to do some calculations?"
Xiao Jingrui was stunned when he heard Bu Ruo's words, and then he noticed the Taoist priest standing in the shadows.
Several people were so shocked that Bu Ruo was the disciple of God that they completely forgot what God said to the Heavenly Master.
The god said that they treated real monsters as honored guests, so wouldn't the Heavenly Master be...
"What are you all looking at this Heavenly Master for? Don't gods sometimes make mistakes?"
"This Heavenly Master asks you, has this Heavenly Master ever made a mistake in all these years? Has any of the disasters I predicted for the Great Zhou Dynasty ever failed to come true? Just because of a god of unknown origin, can you deny everything this Heavenly Master has done?"
Bu Ruo raised an eyebrow: "A god of unknown origin? Although I haven't seen the portrait in the ancestral temple, my prince and everyone here have seen it, so they shouldn't be mistaken."
"Let me ask you all, is the god of unknown origin that the Heavenly Master mentioned the same one who saved the people back then? If we can't trust her words, then whose words can we trust?"
"Oh, right, gods cannot lie. If she had lied, she would have been wiped out in front of everyone. The Heavenly Master should have known that."
At this point, Bu Ruo yawned and said, "I've already told you what you want to know. As for the rest, you can discuss it among yourselves. We won't get involved."
"Oh, and one more thing. In a few days, the prince will accompany me back to Wuming Mountain to stay for a while. Let the emperor know first, and we will leave directly on the date."
Bu Ruo was about to pull Xiao Yulan away, but unexpectedly he failed to do so.
"Um?"
Seeing Bu Ruo's puzzled eyes, Xiao Yulan patted his hands, then slapped the prince in the face from a distance.
"No matter what your reason is, if I ever find out you're plotting against Ruo'er again, I'll hang you on the city gate and whip you."
Xiao Yulan said this to the prince and also to the emperor.
The emperor looked at Xiao Yulan's face and saw it was ashen, but when he thought that his body had recovered, he didn't dare to say anything, because he knew that if he really made his younger brother angry, he would even beat him, the emperor.
"Did you hear that?"
Following Xiao Yulan's scolding, the prince, who was originally a little angry, lowered his head instantly: "Yes, nephew heard it."
Xiao Jingrui felt that as the crown prince of a country, he had lost all his dignity and face, and he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Looking at the two holding hands, Xiao Jingrui secretly vowed to find a way to kill them. Aren't we going to Wuming Mountain? Okay, then don't come back.
Just when several people were harboring their own ulterior motives, Bu Ruo, who was enjoying the fun, turned around and looked at the emperor with an indescribable expression.
"Is there anything else, Princess Zhan?" The emperor took a deep breath and asked patiently.
"Well... that's it... never mind. It's really nothing. After all, I've raised him for so many years. He's better than father and son."
After Bu Ruo finished speaking, he didn't care how much trouble his words would cause. He pulled Xiao Yulan and walked out of the imperial study.
Not father and son, but better than father and son? This sentence exploded wildly in the emperor's mind.
If it weren't for the Queen, even if Bu Ruo pointed at the Prince and said he wasn't his own child, he wouldn't believe it. But now...
Xiao Jingrui noticed the emperor's difference and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Father, please don't listen to Princess Zhan's nonsense. How could this son not be your son? If this son is not your son, whose son could it be?"
The emperor looked at the face that didn't look like his own at all, and his anger kept rising.
Yes, I also want to know whose son you are.
"Alright, Tianshi and the Crown Prince, please go back first. That's all for today. I'm tired too."
Seeing that the Heavenly Master seemed to have something else to say, the Emperor sighed, "Tianshi, please don't say anything more. I don't believe anything. You are still my most respected Heavenly Master and my most beloved son."
When the emperor saw the two of them leave, his expression became extremely ugly.
"Li Defu, go check if the Heavenly Master has any connection with the Queen, and then...check the Crown Prince."
Eunuch Li knelt on the ground, unable to believe what he heard.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Master and the Empress... How is this possible? Although the Heavenly Master looks young, he is actually sixty years old. How could he be with the Empress..."
"And His Royal Highness, if the Crown Prince is truly the Heavenly Master and the Queen's... then... then..."
The emperor looked out the window at the pitch-black sky, and said in a voice that made it impossible to tell his emotions: "Li Defu, have you forgotten what Princess Zhan said just now?"
"God...will not lie."
After hearing the emperor's words, Eunuch Li felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. If the prince was really the son of the Heavenly Master and the Queen, then what they were after... was this world, or... something else.
"Yes, I will send someone to investigate secretly right away. I will have the secret guards guard the emperor's side 24 hours a day, and all food and drink will be tested for poison and then inspected by the imperial physician."
…
In the Guantian Hall, the Heavenly Master sat on the high roof and looked at the sky.
"Master Tianshi, what should we do next? Should we directly let the Crown Prince take the throne?"
The Taoist priest looked at the man in black who was wrapped from head to toe, and smiled like a harmless scholar.
"Don't worry. The throne... I don't even want it. What I want to do is avenge my mother."
"The Xiao family... I want everyone in the Xiao family to be buried with my mother, leaving no one behind, to atone for what they did back then."
