Xuan Cang looked a little dazed.
"Junior Sister, the reason I came to look for you is because Master is in trouble."
Li Qingluo's heart skipped a beat.
"What did you say?"
"What happened to the old master?"
"Big Brother, what happened?"
Xuan Cang said, "Don't be impatient. Let me tell you slowly."
The two sat down in the yard, and Xuan Cang slowly told Li Qingluo what had just happened.
Nangong Di is the leader of the Meteor Sect. He possesses unparalleled martial arts skills and roams around Mantuo City, which is located in the three realms of Da Chu, Daliang and the Western Regions.
Back then, Nangong Di also met Madam Pei in Mantuo City and became good friends with Luo Fan.
The friendship between the three has continued for so many years because of some things that happened in Mantuo City when they were young, and they experienced many thrilling things together.
The long and scary scar on Nangong Di's face was also left that year.
"When Master was young, he was a somewhat unruly playboy."
"So, he also provoked the princess of the Western Region Imperial Court—Anar."
"Afterwards, he just ran away because he didn't want to be the son-in-law of the Western Region Imperial Court, and he was even more unwilling to abandon the Meteor Sect."
"Although the princess later married, her husband died soon after. Using immense tyranny, she, along with her son, left alone and widowed, has ruled her deceased husband's tribe for many years. Now, it has become a powerful force in the Western Regions."
"It was her. A few months ago, she suddenly led people to Mantuo City to cause trouble for our Meteor Sect, and she also captured four of our junior brothers and sisters."
"Master also received this letter, so he rushed back to Mantuo City urgently. Do you know anything about this matter?"
Li Qingluo shook his head slightly.
"Master rarely talks to me about these things."
"What he mentioned were only the senior brothers and sisters in the sect. He talked about how you all made him worry less and how much work you shared with him over the years."
"On the contrary, it's me who has to worry about him when he gets old."
Having said that, Li Qingluo's expression became a little ashamed.
"A few months ago, Master left without saying anything. He just said he would be gone for a while and then left."
"So Master came back because of this matter. Did Master go to the Western Regions?"
Xuan Cang said gently, "Don't overthink it. Master doesn't want you to be distracted by the sect's affairs. Master has mentioned your identity. We all know you are not an ordinary free man. It is better for you not to interfere in the affairs of the martial arts world."
"But... there's no other way this time, so I came to you."
"I accompanied Master to the Western Regions to rescue my fellow apprentices, but we fell into Princess Anar's trap."
"Master sent me out and asked me to come to Nan'an to find you with the token."
"As for the rest, I didn't say anything more."
"Junior Sister, do you know what Master means?"
Li Qingluo took out the jade pendant and rubbed it in his hand.
Master, are you going to save him yourself?
My martial arts skills are definitely not as good as my senior brother's, but I have someone on my side.
Twenty-seven people were killed.
More importantly, there is also Duan Rongshi who is good at strategizing and calculating.
Madam Zheng came over with an anxious look on her face: "Miss, someone from the palace is here to urge you."
"You are requested to enter the palace immediately, so as not to keep the Emperor waiting anxiously."
Li Qingluo stood up and said, "I understand. I'll be there right away."
After temporarily bidding farewell to Xuan Cang, Li Qingluo hurried into the palace.
The Emperor of Chu was already getting a little impatient.
When the rumor spread that the Princess of Yue had finally arrived, he tried to put on a gentle look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty—"
Emperor Chu: "Alright. There's no one else here. When no one is around, what should you call me?"
Li Qingluo was still a little uncomfortable facing such an Emperor of Chu.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Emperor Chu took two deep breaths to make himself look more easy-going.
"What is it called among the people?"
Li Qingluo: "Uncle, uncle?"
The Chu Emperor smiled and said, “Hey!”
"Come quickly and have dinner with me."
"I have been waiting for you for a long time. The imperial kitchen has heated up the food four or five times. If you don't come, I will lose face."
Li Qingluo:?
This is completely different from the last time I came to Qianyuan Hall.
Last time she wanted to kill herself to vent her anger.
This time, he was just waiting for me to eat?
If Li Qingluo hadn't known that he was so gentle to her because he loved her and her family, she would have suspected that the Emperor of Chu had been possessed by someone else.
"Your Majesty, this is against the rules."
"If others hear us and start to suspect the relationship between His Majesty and us, then Ah Shi's identity will be revealed."
The Chu Emperor's face grew darker.
"Li Qingluo, don't make me unhappy."
"Now, in the entire Great Chu, only you and I truly care about Rong Shi."
"Let's just have a happy family meal first, okay?"
Li Qingluo stood up and sat down: "Okay, of course."
She had a premonition that if she continued to be ungrateful, the true face of the Emperor of Chu would be exposed.
Seeing that she finally understood, the Emperor of Chu smiled again.
"Tell me about the past."
"I want to hear it, I want to know."
