Seeing Nangong Liuyun's unconcerned appearance, Emperor Jing immediately became annoyed again. He snorted, "You two..."
Just as Emperor Jing was speaking, the prince suddenly interrupted in surprise.
"Father, wait a minute." The Crown Prince said loudly, as if he had discovered something very strange. "Su Luo, you were at the fifth level when you left, right? How come you are still... at the fifth level now?"
What? Emperor Jing was startled and looked towards Su Luo hurriedly.
Emperor Jing's cultivation was not high, so he could not understand what was going on. However, when he waved his hand, a light grey figure appeared beside him, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.
"You're really only at the fifth level?" Emperor Jing cast a disdainful look at Su Luo and said coldly, "The legendary genius is just like this."
A few days ago, news came that Su Luo had already reached the rank of a Level 8 expert. At the time, Emperor Jing felt a little relieved that his recklessness had nearly led to a huge mistake. But now he knows that the rumor was false. How could Su Luo be Level 8? She was only Level 5!
In order to marry into the Nangong family, she actually lied. How abominable! The slightest bit of goodwill that Emperor Jing had for Su Luo instantly vanished. Of course, his goodwill was based on Su Luo being an eighth-rank expert. Now that Su Luo was no longer an eighth-rank expert, his goodwill naturally vanished.
Sure enough, his expression changed so quickly. Su Luo secretly thought that Emperor Jing was interesting.
"Who is the genius Uncle Nangong is talking about? It's definitely not me, right? Back then, I've been labeled a loser for more than ten years." Su Luo said with a smile, as if she had no idea what Emperor Jing was angry about.
Emperor Jing's eyes narrowed. Originally, considering Su Luo's status as an eighth-rank expert, he wanted to persuade her to return to the Su Mansion with kind words, but since she was only a fifth-rank expert, there was no need for him, the emperor, to be so humble.
Emperor Jing said coldly: "When you were useless, the Su family treated you well, providing you with food and clothing. Now that you are successful, don't forget the Su family's kindness."
Emperor Jing's words could no longer be called hints, but rather explicit statements.
But Su Luo pretended not to understand: "If Uncle Nangong feels that being insulted and beaten every day, eating worse than pig food, and sleeping in a bed worse than a dog's, is a life like this, and the Su family treats me well, then it really is not bad."
Su Luo's words were not polite at all.
Emperor Jing had never expected that this little concubine would be so eloquent and bold, and she would confront him directly. Wasn't she going to marry into the Nangong family? How could she dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous?
"How dare you, Su Luo! Is this how you talk to your father?" The prince spoke before Emperor Jing could scold him.
Su Luo's lips curled up in a mocking smile. Before she could say anything, Nangong Liuyun lazily pulled Su Luo up and gave Emperor Jing a wicked smile: "Is this your purpose today?"
If Emperor Jing dared to say yes, then there would be no doubt that Nangong Liuyun would turn around and leave.
It's not that he doesn't know Nangong Liuyun very well. But the fact that Nangong Liuyun doesn't even bother to argue with him inevitably hurts his fragile heart.
He glared at Su Luo angrily. If it weren't for the boiling blood in her body, would he, as an emperor, need to be so subservient?
"Sit down and talk properly." Emperor Jing had no choice but to speak.
After persuading the man to stop, Emperor Jing turned his gaze to Su Luo again: "Do you want to marry Liuyun?"
Su Luo smiled faintly, not foolishly jumping into the trap he dug: "What do you want? What does it matter if you don't want to?"
