Chapter 933: I’m the Emperor!
Chu Liuyue coughed. “Mentor Su Jin, c-control yourself…”
Elder Su Jin used to be one of her Xuan Master mentors. She was already crazy about Xuan formations back then, but she was even more so now.
“Hey, haven’t you always had a photographic memory? Just take it as me begging you, okay?” Elder Su Jin clasped her hands together and smiled at Chu Liuyue in a flattering manner, without showing her previous distant and cold aura.
“Uh…”
“Su Jin, if you really want to look at it, I can help you too. We’ll each remember a portion, okay?”
Xiao Ran—who had been very quiet at the side—couldn’t help but speak up. His eyes were filled with desire as he looked at Elder Su Jin with a very gentle gaze.
Elder Su Hui waved her hands to reject him without even turning around. “No way! How will you remember it more clearly than Yue’er?”
Disappointment flashed across Xiao Ran’s eyes. But the next moment, he still turned to look at the barrier and tried his best to memorize it. Even if I can only help a little, it’s good enough…
Chu Liuyue laughed in her heart. Xiao Ran was Sheng Yan Harem’s first elder and the strongest in their clan. His ident.i.ty is even higher than Sheng Yan Harem’s Master. He has chased Elder Su Jin for 20 years but has never succeeded. I didn’t expect him to not give up even now.
“Master Su Jin, don’t worry. I’ll memorize it, but if you want to study it properly, you might need Elder Xiao Ran’s help from time to time.”
Xiao Ran glanced at Chu Liuyue gratefully.
Why would Elder Su Jin not know Chu Liuyue’s intentions?
She tapped on her former student’s nose. “Sneaky! You were an eighth-grade Xuan Master yourself! Why do you not understand it?”
Chu Liuyue shrugged.”It’s a pity I’m not one now.”
Jian Fengchi finally couldn’t help but glance at her. “You have nothing to do with the word ‘humble.’ Please wake up.”
Even though she no longer had her Tianjing Yuan meridian, this wouldn’t affect her talent as a Xuan Master at all!
All these years, the most talented Xuan Master he had seen was Chu Liuyue. If not, Elder Su Jin wouldn’t seek her help.
Chu Liuyue was stumped for once and raised her hand to surrender. “Okay, okay, okay. Give me 15 minutes.”
Then, she looked up at the intersecting Xuan formation.
The others at the side immediately fell silent as they watched and waited with her.
“Pfft.” A sneer filled with contempt was heard from behind. “There are really all sorts of arrogant people at this age! This barrier was made by many ninth-grade Xuan Masters in the Beiming Dynasty for over a year. Normal people will get dizzy by taking a few more glances at it, yet these people are delusional enough to think that they can memorize it… Haha, what a joke!”
Elder Su Jin and the rest turned around and saw a group of people arriving behind them.
The other party also had 11 people.
The person talking was a young woman in her twenties. She had a cute appearance and was wearing lavish attire. However, arrogance filled her eyes.
Elder Chen Ke glanced at her, and his gaze landed on the middle-aged man at the front.
This man’s appearance was ordinary, and he looked rather stern with a long beard. There were dragon patterns on his sleeves and collars, which revealed his ident.i.ty.
“Ruoli, don’t be rude,” said the middle-aged man. It seemed like a scolding, but his tone was very gentle and clearly pampered this woman.
That woman lightly grunted. “I’m just speaking the truth, and I can’t stand that some people are acting like they’re a big shot! If not, will there really be people that can memorize this ninth-grade Xuan formation at one glance?”
The middle-aged man didn’t reprimand her anymore, clearly sharing the same thoughts as her. He helplessly smiled and shook his head. “When can you change your direct nature?”
“Your Majesty, Eldest Princess is right. They’re already behaving in this manner when they just reached the Beiming Dynasty’s border. Who knows how overboard they’ll be when they reach Lin Zhou?” A young man wearing a purple robe helped to chip in.
The middle-aged man shook his head. “That is true, but we’re in the Beiming Dynasty now. It’s other people’s territory, so you need to hold yourself back. No matter what, the other party was also invited over like us. Why must you make the situation tense?”
Then, he looked at Chu Liuyue and the rest again.
Elder Chen Ke took a step forward. “I am Tianling Dynasty’s Chen Ke. Greetings, Taiyu Dynasty’s Emperor Huai Ren.”
Dantai Chen glanced at him strangely and smiled politely. “So you’re Tianling Dynasty’s Elder Chen Ke. You… know me?”
Elder Chen Ke’s expression was calm. “You once came to Tianling 43 years ago, and I had a chance to meet you then.”
Dantai Chen’s face suddenly froze. I went to the Tianling Dynasty at that time for a marriage alliance. At the time, the Taiyu Dynasty was a notch weaker than the Tianling Dynasty, so we had the plan of getting close to them. But it was a pity I was rejected in the end.
Ever since then, he felt humiliated and had never gone to Tianling again.
Decades had pa.s.sed, and the Taiyu Dynasty had now exceeded the Tianling Dynasty in regards to overall capabilities. With all the situations that cropped up previously, they naturally couldn’t be compared.
“I see. That happened so long ago. I don’t really remember it clearly.” Emperor Huai Ren didn’t even care about Elder Chen Ke back then, so he naturally couldn’t remember the latter after so many years. “However, I didn’t know that the Tianling Dynasty was also coming for Ancient Phoenix Mountain’s eruption…”
Dantai Chen smiled, but his smiling intent didn’t reach his eyes. “I thought you would be quite busy recently…”
His words had a mocking tone to them.
Elder Chen Ke’s brows knitted undetectably, and he smiled. “That’s right. We have been quite busy lately, but since the Beiming Dynasty sent us an invitation, we must give them face. How can we not come?”
His words meant that they were also invited—like the Taiyu Dynasty—by the Beiming Dynasty. Since they were all the same, there was no sense of superiority between them.
Dantai Chen was stumped, and his face turned dark. I really didn’t know beforehand that the Tianling Dynasty was invited! No matter logically or personally, the Tianling Dynasty doesn’t seem to have the right now! However, only the Beiming Dynasty knows the answer to this.
“Tianling Dynasty? It’s the one where the Heavenly Princess caused a huge commotion?” asked Dantai Ruoli. She specifically emphasized the words ‘Heavenly Princess.’
Back then, the news of the Tianling Dynasty having a Tianjing Yuan meridian cultivator was spread far and wide. It was as if it was incredible to have such a talent.
In the end, they also heard quite a few incidents about that Princess. Most of them mentioned how outstanding she was.
Who knew she would be set up by her own fiancé and sister in the end?
What kind of ‘Heavenly Princess’ is this? It’s just a joke!
Elder Chen Ke could hear her mockery, and his expression changed.
Just as he was about to retaliate, Chu Liuyue retracted her gaze, turned to look at them, smiled, and said, “Thank you for your concern, but I’m no longer the Princess now. I’m Tianling’s Emperor with the year Yuan Xi. Eldest Princess Dantai, please address me as Emperor Yuan Xi.”
