Chapter 156: You are Hired as the Alien Minister (II)
Zhao Yue was hesitating. As Zhao Tian was about to force through and enter the yard, she was still blocking his way. Zhao Yue implored, “Father, Mr. Luo and Mr. Wu have helped me a lot, and they are just visitors to our kingdom. You can’t bring the troubles of our family to them; they have nothing to do with it. If you drag them into the quagmire of our kingdom, I will be humiliated.”
Zhao Tian immediately ignored her. He shook her off and started walking into the yard. However, ... bang!
An invisible ward spread around the yard and blocked him out.
Zhao Tian was at the early stage of Gold Core, yet he couldn’t break that small ward. After a long hesitation, he shouted, “Mr. Luo, Mr. Wu, I’m Zhao Tian from the mansion of State Minister. I’m impressed by your swordsmanship and come here for a bit of advice. We would like to invite you as our alien aide for our mansion. As return, you can enjoy the cultivation recourses exclusive for our lineage.”
No reply.
Zhao Tian kept shouting for a while, getting nothing.
He waited for a moment, but still silence, so he laughed out and said, “It doesn’t matter. There must be a bond between us as we meet, so I would be very much pleased if you would accept a small present from me.”
Zhao Tian left an Interspatial Ring in front of the yard gate and walked away. He gave Zhao Yue a stare and said coldly, “What’s the point of staying here if you can’t serve your family? You are nothing but an ungraceful loser.”
Zhao Yue was about to say something, but she restrained.
The crowd left the yard quickly, leaving Zhao Yue alone. She forged a smile, which seemed to age her ten years. She made a courtesy towards the yard and said, “Sorry to disturb you today. Although my father is quite arbitrary, he won’t force you in front of the huge crowd, but the people of the prime minister are not so kind. I’ve heard that the mansion of prime minister has frequent contacts with Yu Dao Men Sect recently. If you are really the disciples of Yu Dao Men Sect, you’d better reconciliate with the prime minister. If you are not, then leave the realm of Yu Dao Men Sect as soon as possible. These are some farewell gifts. I will not accompany you to the city gate, in case of being spotted.”
Then, Zhao Yue also left an Interspatial Ring on the ground and walked away.
Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi heard everything happened in the yard. When Zhao Tian shouted, they sipped and tasted tea. When Zhao Yue left, they still caroused.
When everything was settled, Luo Jianqing raised his finger, and those two Interspatial Rings appeared in his palm. He examined them carefully and smiled, “Master, Mrs. Lin did give us a lavish gift, even more lavish than her father’s.”
Xuan Lingzi, hold the cup lid, gently scratched the tea fragments in the cup. The scent of the tea filled the room, “Zhao Tian just tried to buy us over.”
Luo Jianqing nodded, “He thought we were the disciples from some big sect, like... that Yu Dao Men Sect.” Luo Jianqing paused and then asked, “Have you ever heard that sect?”
After a thought, Xuan Lingzi replied, “Maybe. Among some hundreds of small sects attached to Fei Hua Sect, I guess there is a Yu Dao... Men? I can hardly remember clearly.”
Luo Jianqing didn’t think much. He beamed and said, “Then we leave tomorrow.”
The crescent moon was rising in the inky sky, casting its velvety light on everything.
The next day, as the sky is getting bright, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi had packed up and were ready to leave the mansion, and the kingdom. Before they left, Luo Jianqing insisted on visiting Rongrong and giving her some gifts. Xuan Lingzi didn’t say anything, accompanying him to the yard of Mrs. Lin.
Meanwhile, in the distant Fiend Realm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Waves of fierce spiritual power storms swept over the whole Realm. It started from the Fiend Palace and quickly spread all around like ripples. From the center of the ripple, the overwhelming pressure began to wane, yet despite that, it could still cover all the Fiend Realm and even affected Yun State, Cen State and the Thirteen Seas.
Gui Yuan Sect, in Cen State.
Fo Zi was devoted to chanting the Buddhist scripture. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and turned to his master.
In the recluse place of the sect, Grand Abbot of Gui Yuan Sect who was doing closed-door cultivation also opened his eyes. His empty and profound eyes were fixed on the direction of the Fiend Palace.
After a long gaze, the Grand Abbot counted the beads that had been untouched for hundreds of years. “Amitabha.” He said in a low voice.
In the Thirteen Seas.
The lord of thirteenth, twelfth and eleventh sea were the closest to the Fiend Realm. When the spiritual power wave reached, they all found that three demons flew out of the sea to the Demon Realm.
“We must report it to the Demon Exalt!”
At the same time, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi was about to walk into the yard of Mrs. Lin. Luo Jianqing was smiling and talking, while Xuan Lingzi stopped. He looked towards the direction of the Fiend Palace quietly. It was quite a normal look, but Luo Jianqing noticed it.”
“Master, what’s wrong?”
Xuan Lingzi had a complicated expression, but after a moment, he curled up his lips and smiled, “The Fiend Exalt is closer to Deity Transformation Period.”
Luo Jianqing was quite pleasant and he recalled the figure in bloody red in the Fiend Palace. After a year, he could barely recall the appearance of the Fiend Exalt, but he still remembered his pressure and power when he showed up that day.
“If he makes it, human will be undefeatable in the war with demons!”
It was a good thing anyway, so Xuan Lingzi beamed and nodded. Before they continued this topic, they heard a noise from the distance.
“She is that foolish? Can’t she figure out some other ways to detain those two men?”
“My sister is too selfish. Dad, you have to give her a lesson. She stays in our mansion all day with her little bastard but doesn’t help us a little. Even if grandfather likes her, we have no space for a useless woman here!”
“Don’t worry. Yue is indeed foolish. Today, I will let her know nothing is more important than her family!”
