“Who the hell are you?”
After walking into the room, Xuan Goblet stared intently at Qing Yu, his aura drawn and unleashed, firmly locked onto this white-haired Daoist who had come from nowhere.
“Haven’t you already guessed something? Daoist Brother Xuan Goblet.” Qing Yu revealed a secretive smile and said.
“You’re Qing Yu? No, that can’t be ——”
Xuan Goblet actually wished that this person was really Qing Yu, but the reasoning in his heart told him that this should be impossible.
Even if Qing Yu had started cultivating after being sent to the Northern Cang Mountains, he shouldn’t have reached the True Dan realm. If the True Dan realm was so easy to reach, ninety-nine percent of the martial artists in the world would have an urge to kill.
However, the sensual side of his mind had told Xuan Goblet that it was likely to be true. If it was true, that would be great.
Xuan Goblet shook his head secretly in his heart, breaking off these hesitant and wavering thoughts, and said, “No matter what your true identity is, as long as the information you tell me is correct, I will help you deal with Xuan Chen.”
Xuan Goblet’s eyes, obscure, and determined. In the woods, he had already made up his mind; no matter what the other party’s true purpose was, at least now, he was as intent on dealing with Xuan Chen as he was.
With overlapping objectives, cooperation was the necessary thing to do.
“After I return to the mountain gate, I will test Xuan Feng to see if he really has a hidden Shadow Retention Stone. As long as this is true, the matter of our cooperation can continue.”
Despite having a suspicion of Qing Yu’s identity in his heart, Xuan Goblet still did not truly trust Qing Yu. In this world, it was not uncommon to change one’s face, as long as one changed one’s face to resemble Qing Yu’s, one could achieve the current effect.
Therefore, Xuan Goblet still had doubts about Qing Yu’s identity, so he could only confirm the situation with Xuan Feng beforehand.
“That’s good.” Qing Yu nodded his head in agreement.
The matter of Xuan Chen was not a matter of urgency. As long as Xuan Goblet could help confirm that Xuan Feng had the Remaining Shadow Stone in his hands, that would be enough. If Xuan Feng destroyed the Remaining Shadow Stone, then the next matter would be troublesome.
“I look forward to Dao Brother’s success over there.”
Qing Yu turned around and left.
The following day.
Xuan Zhen and Xuan Goblet left Tian Zhen Guan with their disciples and returned to the True Martial Sect.
As for Qing Yu, he also returned to Northern Zhou on the White Phoenix.
It had been more than two months since Feng Jiuyu ascended the throne and ordered the construction of the Tongtian Giant Statue. With the help of a large number of martial artists, the Tongtian Giant Statue was built far faster than expected.
Today, the giant statue, which according to legend will become the suppression of the national fortune of Northern Zhou, is mostly completed.
As Qing Yu flew through the air in the white phoenix, he saw that the exterior of the statue was completely finished. The entire sixty-six foot tall statue towered over the imperial palace, and even from outside the imperial city, the upper half of the statue could be seen.
“It seems that, in a month at most, the giant statue will be ready for the final arrangement.” Qing Yu nodded in satisfaction as he gazed from afar at the figures busily working around the giant statue.
The Giant Statue could help Qing Yu increase his cultivation speed significantly, so it could not be considered unimportant, and it had to be said that the forces were very important for it to be completed so quickly.
Without the decree of Feng Jiuyu, the emperor of Northern Zhou, Qing Yu alone would not have been able to get it done in thirteen months, not to mention three months.
————————
In the imperial garden of the imperial palace, the pavilions and pavilions are still there, the pines and cypresses are always there, but there are many less people visiting the garden in the past, and it is much colder.
“Alas, once my brothers and elders, I loathed them for fighting for power and profit and disregarding the brotherhood, but now without them, it is strange to miss.” The young princess Feng Chu Han’s face was full of depression, between her words, there was sighing and melancholy.
“Han’er, this is not like you, if the lively and lovely little princess loses her smile, the royal garden will lose its lustre.” Next to Feng Chu Han, the noble and graceful Empress said softly in a comforting voice.
Now the Empress of Northern Zhou, the former Miss Si Qingwei, is wearing a dragon and phoenix crown and a golden phoenix dress, less beautiful and more elegant than before.
But when the young princess looked at Si Qingwei’s dress, disgust and sadness always flashed in her eyes.
What she disliked was not the friend in front of her, but the identity that this dress represented. This flamboyant dress represented that man’s wife, the Empress of Northern Zhou. And that man, her ninth brother, was the one who disgusted Feng Chu Han the most today.
“As long as that person is still here, it will be difficult for me to show my smile.” Feng Chu Han said in a hateful voice.
“Don’t say that, he is also your elder brother.” Si Qingwei advised.
“Don’t you hate him? He broke you and the Eighth Imperial Brother apart in life and forced you to marry him.” Feng Chu Han asked directly in return.
At those words, Si Qingwei’s diaphanous brows were lightly furrowed, and a bit of faint sadness was on her pretty, white jade face.
Hate? Not so much. But resentment is certain.
Although she also has a good feeling for Feng Jiuyu, Si Qingwei still likes the elegant and modest Feng Qiwu, not the seemingly peaceful but ambitious Feng Jiuyu.
Seeing the look on Si Qingwei’s face, Feng Chu Han also felt that he had someone to talk to about his bitterness, “For the sake of the throne, thirteen royal brothers, eleven of them died. The eighth brother survived, but he has been hiding in the Mountain River Academy and is not even allowed to enter the imperial palace.
The Empress Dowager has also been kept under house arrest by that man, with countless people watching her in and out of the palace, not even allowing her mother and son to see each other. All of this is that man’s plan, and I wish he were dead!”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Si Qingwei hastily covered Feng Chuhan’s mouth, “You don’t want to live anymore!”
Feng Chu Han’s mouth whimpered, but when she saw Si Qing Wei’s serious eyes, she also unconsciously softened and stopped struggling.
“Your Majesty is a benevolent and virtuous ruler, how could he poison his own sister?”
The words that suddenly reached their ears made the two women’s souls run wild, and the horror in their hearts was so great that they could hardly contain themselves.
If these words reached the ears of the cold and heartless emperor, they would not be as dead as Si Qingwei had said, but they would have a hard time in the future. At the very least, some surveillance would be inevitable.
Feng Chu Han is fine, she has Feng Ming Xiao’s backing after all, but in Si Qing Wei’s case, it is not easy to do ——
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are talking about.
A male eavesdropping on the conversation between the Empress and the Princess, in the imperial garden, was a man who did not want to live?
Feng Chu Han also looked at him with an angry expression on his face.
The two women saw a Daoist priest with white hair and an immortal bones, who smiled and bowed: “Qintian Supervisor Zheng Qingyu, meet the Empress and Her Highness the Princess!
