If outsiders saw this scene, they would probably be shocked.
The current Sikong Xi is the emperor! Yet he's serving tea to a little girl.
But Sikong Xi found it sweet.
"You don't plan to stay in Tianyan any longer, is that right?" Sikong Xi took a sip of tea and spoke first.
"You guessed it."
"Yes, I've figured it out. General Jun, being such a clever person, should have figured it out as well."
"Yes, so he wants to keep me here with a marriage contract." Although she didn't know why Old Man Jun was so against her leaving, she was destined not to live in this small country forever.
Her revenge is yet to be taken.
Those bastards in the Nine Heavens must be alive and well! Otherwise, she won't be able to find anyone to take revenge on.
Slender fingers lightly touched the teacup.
Sikong Xi: "You do not belong to Tianyan. With your talent, this small country is not worthy of letting you stay. If only you were a man."
As he spoke, Sikong Xi sighed. If this person were a man, he would surely have achieved great things.
Famous throughout the world!
"So what if it's a man? So what if it's a woman?" Liu Yue said with a smile. "In my eyes, gender has never been an insurmountable barrier."
So what if she's a woman? She can still crush a group of men and reach the pinnacle of infinity!
The young girl confidently raised her eyebrows, exuding an air of dominance and arrogance.
Sikong Xi was momentarily stunned.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a flamboyant and unrestrained girl, and his intuition told him that it might also be the last.
I couldn't help but take a deep look; it was too dazzling, like the sun hanging high in the sky, making it impossible to look directly at.
Do you really think women can be like men?
"Why not? It's all about human effort."
The real divide is never about gender, but about the prejudices of the world and oneself.
"Liuyue, your words have truly enlightened me," Sikong Xi exclaimed inwardly.
"Your Majesty can do it too. I believe Your Majesty can make Tianyan stronger step by step, so that it will never be disturbed by neighboring countries again."
“Ryu…”
Just then, Green Ivy's voice rang out from outside the pavilion: "Your Majesty, Miss, it's time for your meal."
Green Ivy's voice interrupted Sikong Xi's next words, and he looked at Liuyue.
He happened to meet the latter's gaze, and in an instant, he felt as if he had been seen through.
"Alright." Sikong Xi nodded with a smile.
But Jun Liuyue's few casual words had already stirred up a storm in his heart.
...
Night fell.
Inside the study.
"Tell me, did I do something wrong?"
Jun Tianlan said in a deep voice. In front of him was a portrait of the deceased Madam Jun.
They joined hands in their youth, fought on the battlefield, repelled the enemy, and fought side by side.
However, after giving birth to Jun Wuchen, the old lady gradually weakened and eventually passed away. Before her death, she asked him to take good care of her two sons.
"Rou'er, I have broken my promise." Jun Tianlan's hand stroked the scroll. "I failed to protect A Jing and A Chen. I only wanted to leave Yue'er in Tianyan. As long as she is in Tianyan... as long as she can live a peaceful and smooth life, that is enough."
In the past, he would have absolutely despised his own behavior. A person with talent should go to the vast world and display his talents.
But now, all he wants is for his children to live out their lives peacefully.
"A hundred years from now, I don't know how I will face you," Jun Tianlan sighed.
Outside the door.
"grandfather."
The girl's cool voice rang out.
"Moon Girl".
Jun Tianlan put away the scroll and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Come in."
Liuyue pushed open the door and walked in.
"Grandpa, is there something important that you called me here so late?"
“Girl, Grandpa knows that with your talent, it’s really unfair to keep you in Tianyan.” Grandpa Jun sighed. “Grandpa originally wanted to take this secret to his grave, but now I can’t hide it anymore. You will find out sooner or later.”
"What secret?" Liu Yue looked at the old man with a puzzled expression, rarely seeing him so serious.
"About your background."
The old man said in a deep voice.
Jun Liuyue frowned. She had no memory of her origins, and she didn't know who her mother was.
“When your father brought you back, you were only this small.” Old Master Jun said with a smile full of affection. “At that time, the four border cities of Tianyan were occupied by the army of Donglin Kingdom. I had no choice but to send a message to summon your father back. That’s when you came to the Jun family. But your father never revealed your mother’s identity. The only thing he did was this jade pendant.”
Grandpa Jun took out a blue jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Liuyue.
"Your father said that you brought this jade pendant with you from your mother's womb."
Liu Yue looked at the jade pendant in her palm. It was entirely turquoise and resembled a giant dragon's head, with its body coiled around the edge of the pendant.
Lifelike.
"Azure Dragon?" Liu Yue was slightly startled. The Azure Dragon Jade Pendant that the Alchemy Sect Master had gone to great lengths to obtain was actually in the hands of the Jun family.
And, it's hers?
"After your father died, I also investigated the origin of this jade pendant, but..." The old man looked deeply at his granddaughter, "I couldn't investigate further because it involved high-level forces." If we investigated further, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Since Junjing is intentionally concealing this girl's identity, he must be running away from something!
Tianyan is just a small border country in the vast Canglan. Above it are the Alchemy Sect, the Myriad Beasts Sect, the Divine Soul Hall, the Ghost Hall, and other forces.
Further up are the ancient martial arts families and the Four Sacred Kingdoms.
Neither of these forces could be resisted by the Jun family.
Jun Liuyue immediately understood what Old Master Jun meant and gripped the jade pendant in her hand tightly.
He looked at Old Master Jun and said, "I understand."
No wonder Emperor Sikong was so eager to attack the Jun family; it turns out the Alchemy Sect had seized his lifeline! It seems Emperor Sikong knew about the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant a long time ago and used it as a condition to exchange for pills with the Alchemy Sect.
Ha, they've really dug their own grave.
"The reason I didn't tell you these things before was that Grandpa didn't want you to get involved in those conflicts." Although he didn't know what happened to Junjing back then, the old man could roughly guess some things since Junjing never mentioned the child's birth mother.
The old man reached out and patted Liuyue on the shoulder: "Girl, no matter what happens, the Jun family will always be your strongest support."
Even if the Jun family is insignificant compared to those powerful forces, he will do everything in his power to protect this girl.
"good!"
A warm feeling washed over Liu Yue as she met the earnest gaze of Grandpa Jun.
"Good girl, but... what a pity." The old man sighed.
Suddenly, as if he had just remembered something, the old man asked, "Little girl, what is the background of Yin Ming, the man beside you? I see that his cultivation is not low, so why is he willing to stay by your side?"
Grandpa Jun finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask; he was just too curious.
