Chapter 31

……

At the same time, on the other side of the Tiandou Imperial Palace, at the palace where guests were entertained.

Xue Ye had been waiting here for a long time, but he still hadn't seen Chrysanthemum Douluo and that legendary honorary elder arrive.

Moreover, he had a vague, ominous premonition.

Something was going to happen today! Xue Ye looked at the Chief Eunuch again. "Where have they reached?"

The Chief Eunuch's expression was somewhat unnatural. "Your Majesty, th... they went to your harem."

Xue Ye was stunned, then angrily slapped his seat and stood up. "How unreasonable! This is going too far!"

"Your Majesty, calm your anger, just endure it." The Chief Eunuch tried to soothe him.

"The Spirit Hall is currently in the limelight, and the war with the Clear Sky Sect hasn't even completely ended. If we have a conflict with them at this time..."

"Why didn't you say so just now?" Xue Ye said angrily.

The Chief Eunuch lowered his head. "Your Majesty, they were heading toward your back garden. Pavilion Master Tang Yuehua is there. If you go and run into them, how will you explain it?"

"I..." Xue Ye was stunned.

The Chief Eunuch continued: "Your Majesty, now that the Clear Sky Sect's brand is involved, as long as you touch it even a little, it almost becomes a target that the Spirit Hall can legitimately retaliate against!"

He also didn't understand why this old emperor was so blinded by lust that he had to seek out Tang Yuehua at this time?

If the Spirit Hall used this as an excuse to claim that the Tiandou Imperial Family was colluding with the Clear Sky Sect and intending to sneak attack the Spirit Hall from behind, that would be terrible! When the Clear Sky Sect had an accident, the Eight Great Families and the other remaining sects of the Seven Great Sects were watching in secret; the Spirit Hall wouldn't go too far.

But if the Tiandou Imperial Family had an accident, apart from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect saying a few words out of courtesy, others probably wouldn't even bother to take a look! Even if this old emperor was hungry, he should have endured until this storm passed! Xue Ye suddenly came to his senses. "Oh no!"

If Tang Yuehua had a brain lapse and said that he and the Clear Sky Sect were in private contact, the Spirit Hall's army of Spirit Masters, which hadn't completely dispersed, would likely head toward Tiandou City! "Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant has already sent someone to tell the Empress to go to the back garden. This matter can be explained as a private friendship between the Empress and Tang Yuehua. Tang Yuehua is not a Spirit Master; as long as Your Majesty doesn't show up, this matter won't blow up," the Chief Eunuch said.

Xue Ye breathed a sigh of relief. "You did well in this matter; you have a heart."

He had also seen the Clear Sky Sect have an accident, and the previous frustration had rushed up, so he couldn't hold back. If he had known, he should have waited for this storm to pass.

"Welcome, His Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo!"

The eunuch outside the hall shouted loudly.

Xue Ye composed himself and went up to meet them. "Chrysanthemum Douluo, your arrival is a great honor. I failed to welcome you from afar, and I hope you will forgive me."

"I won't forgive you." Nan Feng, who was walking beside Yue Guan, looked very unhappy.

"Can't you see me?"

"Or are you looking down on me?"

Xue Ye was stunned. "This is..."

"This is Elder Nan Feng, the greatest contributor to our Spirit Hall's battle against the Clear Sky Sect this time," Yue Guan introduced.

Xue Ye was stunned, and Tang Yuehua in Nan Feng's arms also trembled violently.

"So it is Elder Nan Feng, excuse my rudeness," Xue Ye apologized.

Although he was only an honorary elder and his cultivation was likely below his own, this favorite of the Spirit Hall was someone he couldn't afford to offend! "Knowing it's rude, don't you know how to offer an apology?" Nan Feng frowned.

"How did you become an emperor? Can you only say two sentences of nonsense?"

Xue Ye's expression stiffened.

This is really not giving any face at all!

"Elder Nan Feng, please calm your anger. I will prepare a banquet immediately to properly entertain the two of you..."

"Stop!" Nan Feng raised his hand to interrupt.

"Don't treat me like a three-year-old. Today's matter cannot be brushed off with a meal."

The corner of Xue Ye's eye twitched. "May I ask, Elder Nan Feng, how can I appease your anger?"

"One price, one million Gold Spirit Coins!" Nan Feng said.

"This..."

"Two million!"

"Deal!" Xue Ye gritted his teeth and quickly shouted.

Bastard! Robbery had reached his doorstep! Now that the Spirit Hall had just finished fighting the Clear Sky Sect and won a complete victory, their momentum was at its peak; he really didn't dare to offend them! "Straightforward. Since Your Majesty is so sensible, if I were to keep pursuing this, it would become my fault instead," Nan Feng said.

Xue Ye just smiled apologetically and didn't reply.

Sensible?

I didn't even say one sentence right, and you damn well started blackmailing me! Bastard! "Alright, now that this matter is finished, I should talk about the real business." Nan Feng walked forward and sat on a golden chair.

Xue Ye's expression stiffened.

That's my seat!

Can't you even tell the difference between the host's seat and the guest's seat! "I saw someone in Your Majesty's back garden just now," Nan Feng said, gently stroking Tang Yuehua.

"Does Your Majesty know who it is?"

"This... I do not know." Xue Ye's expression was very ugly.

You barged into my harem, and you still have the face to say it out loud?

Rebellion! Rebellion! "Tang Yuehua." Nan Feng looked sideways slightly and glanced at Xue Ye.

"Old thing, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"

"The arrogant people of the Clear Sky Sect attacked our Spirit Hall's Pope. Now that the great battle has just passed, you dare to contact the Clear Sky Sect. What is your intention?"

Xue Ye felt a chill in his heart. "Elder Nan Feng, where does this come from?"

"I truly do not know why the Tang Yuehua you mentioned would appear in the harem..."

"Xue Ye!" Nan Feng's voice was slightly cold.

"Let's not speak in riddles. I'll give you one last chance. What is your intention?"

"Are you intending to collude with the remnants of the Clear Sky Sect and plot something wrong?"

"Absolutely not!" Xue Ye said quickly.

"Elder Nan Feng, I truly do not know why Tang Yuehua would appear in the back garden."

"Oh? Really?" Nan Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Then if I find evidence, what will you do?"

"Could it be that this Tiandou Imperial Family..."

Xue Ye's expression stiffened. "Elder, please forgive me! This matter was Xue Ye's recklessness!"

"……"

Yue Guan watched this scene with a strange expression.

Good kid, how is his aura as a superior so similar to Qian Xunji's? He scared Xue Ye with just a few words.

You have to know that the Spirit Hall has just finished fighting the Clear Sky Sect. Although they are shouting about a complete victory, their losses are not small, and the Clear Sky Sect's assets need to be received and digested in time, otherwise, this battle would have been fought in vain. At such a time, it is impossible to go to war with the Tiandou Empire over such a small matter.

Otherwise, the other sects wouldn't just watch. Although they wouldn't directly interfere in the Spirit Hall's war against the Tiandou Empire, there would definitely be no shortage of small actions to trip them up.

Not to mention that the plan for the Tiandou Empire has just begun to be implemented, and the Spirit Hall cannot take action against the Tiandou Empire. Otherwise, once the last shred of dignity of the Tiandou Imperial Family is wiped out, the kingdoms and duchies below will truly be completely out of control.

"Reckless?" Nan Feng raised his eyebrows.

"I think you've been planning this for a long time, right?"

"The Clear Sky Sect has just been defeated, and you are making contact at this time. Could it be that you want to play a game of sending charcoal in the snow?"

"Old thing, are you really not afraid that this bit of charcoal will burn yourself?"

"Elder, please investigate clearly, Xue Ye has no such intention!" Xue Ye panicked.

This matter must absolutely not be admitted! Otherwise, the Tiandou Imperial Family will truly be finished!

"No such intention?" Nan Feng held up the little rabbit's head.

"Do you think I believe you?"

"Her Excellency the Pope sent me to see the situation in Tiandou. I thought you were old enough to be steady, but I didn't expect you to be so dishonest?"

"Why, do you think that because the Spirit Hall just finished fighting the Clear Sky Sect, we can't take care of you?"

"Xue Ye has no such intention!" Xue Ye said anxiously.

Nan Feng looked at Xue Ye with some curiosity. "Then what is your intention?"

"Tell me about it. If it's reasonable, I can report back to Her Excellency the Pope. Otherwise, if problems arise in the future and your Tiandou Imperial Family is truly inextricably linked with the Clear Sky Sect, or even aids the evildoer..."

Nan Feng sighed. "At that time, the one who will be unlucky is me..."
