Chapter 139: The aggrieved Xu Jiujiu!

"Father, drink tea."

The next day.

Xu Jiujiu followed Xu Nian'an out of the Xu Wangfu early in the morning and came to the newly built Xuanming Sect in Lingling City, next to Lingxing City.

She started serving tea to Xu Zong early in the morning.

Xu Zong was Xu Nian'an's father in name, so even though Xu Jiujiu was a princess, this couldn't avoid the custom.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

After three minutes, Xu Zong still didn't show any intention of taking the teacup from Xu Jiujiu's hand.

Xu Jiujiu was instantly embarrassed on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Xu Nian'an narrowed his eyes, and his expression turned ugly. He glanced at Zhu Lu beside him.

Zhu Lu understood instantly.

"Zhu Lu, please Father drink tea!"

The moment Zhu Lu served tea, a smile appeared on Xu Zong's face.

"Hehe, good, good, good, I'll drink it. I hope you can add a few more descendants for Nian'an to continue the inheritance of the Xuanming Sect."

Good fellow, hearing Xu Zong say this, Xu Nian'an's brows twitched wildly.

Such differential treatment?

And he even said such things to Zhu Lu. You have to know that Xu Jiujiu was the one married properly, while Zhu Lu could at most be considered a conferment, a concubine.

Xu Zong directly said that Zhu Lu's children would inherit the Xuanming Sect in the future, so what about Xu Jiujiu's children?

It was very clear that he was still angry about Xu Sanshi's death.

Tap, tap, tap~

Xu Nian'an walked forward slowly. Seeing Xu Nian'an arrive, the smile on Xu Zong's face grew wider, and he reached out to take the tea from Xu Jiujiu and let her stand up.

But Xu Nian'an took a step forward and snatched the tea from Xu Jiujiu's mouth.

Gulp~

He tilted his head and drank it in one gulp.

"You two go out."

Looking at Xu Jiujiu and Zhu Lu, Xu Nian'an was expressionless.

Zhu Lu got up and pulled Xu Jiujiu. Xu Jiujiu got up, her eyes a bit red, expressionless.

The two walked out of the hall slowly. Not long after they walked out of the hall, a sound of breaking cups came from behind.

Swish~

Ping-pong-pong~

"If you don't like it, we won't come again in the future, okay?"

"You and I both know what happened with Xu Sanshi. You don't go after the evil soul masters, but you go to make things difficult for a child—what's the point?"

Hearing this, Xu Zong stood up instantly.

"You're still blaming your father?"

Hehe.

"How dare I."

"Father, you are old, and there are many things you can't see clearly."

Xu Nian'an brushed over the chair Xu Zong was sitting on, his eyes showing no fluctuation.

He was just short of pointing at Xu Zong's head and saying, "Old thing, you're old, hurry up and abdicate!"

"When you were ennobled as King, you shouldn't have agreed to Mother. Now, what is this—a promotion in name but a demotion in reality!"

Ten minutes later, Xu Nian'an turned and left the hall.

Xu Zong instantly slumped into the chair.

"You don't understand, you don't understand, you don't understand anything!"

Xu Zong was also a pitiful person. In Xu Nian'an's impression, and in the description of Xu Jianyang's memory.

Xu Zong often followed the previous Sect Master into the palace in his middle age, and came and went to play with the princess. The princess was in the budding stage of love and got into bed without knowing better, so Xu Nian'an and Xu Sanshi were purely accidents.

Many years later, the previous Sect Master passed away, and Xu Zong inherited the Xuanming Sect, but he didn't get the wife back, he only got two sons back.

Then, for these years, the Xuanming Sect controlled by Xu Zong had been hung by the Douling Empire because of a woman.

I don't know if he hadn't been in love, or if his first love was fragrant, but Xu Zong had never married in his life besides that princess.

If Xu Nian'an had to evaluate it, it would be: a pile of dog shit.

The woman he liked—let alone whether she loved him or not, put love aside for now—at least get her first.

Lingxing City.

Returning to his palace, Xu Nian'an walked straight toward the west.

"Young Sect Master!"

Along the way, there were Xuanming Sect disciples wearing green robes.

The guard was not just strict, it was truly a sentry every five steps and a post every three steps.

Tap, tap, tap!!!

In the dark dungeon, Xu Nian'an walked slowly.

"Xu Jianzong, see the Young Sect Master!"

Xu Jianzong was the Fifth Elder of the Xuanming Sect, whose strength was infinitely close to that of a Titled Douluo.

"How is the matter going?"

Xu Jianzong nodded.

"Of the 10,000 elite soldiers given by the Douling Emperor, we have already cleared nearly 300 dark sentries."

The commanders of the elite army have all confessed.

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an nodded.

"Have the 3,000 palace maids reviewed by the Xuanming Sect's female division; don't let go of any hidden spies."

Those who are found out will be demoted, let the Xuanming Sect disciples see who hasn't married yet, and if they can't find a marriage candidate, subsidize them with some money every year."

Xu Nian'an certainly wouldn't believe all of the 10,000 elite soldiers given by the Douling Emperor. In this month, many mountain bandits and evil soul masters died.

They were all people who were found to have problems by the Xuanming Sect. These problematic people had to be dealt with, but not too directly.

Otherwise, these 10,000 people would be in chaos, so there was no other way but to have a few people die every time they went to clean up evil soul masters.

Xu Nian'an beckoned, and all the Xuanming Sect disciples in the dungeon retreated.

"What's your name?"

Xu Nian'an looked at the person covered in blood in front of him with interest.

This person was the commander of that army, and also a level 75 Battle Soul Saint sent by the Douling Empire Emperor to monitor and control Xu Nian'an.

"Ji Bochang."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an was stunned.

"What Chang?"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

The person in front of Xu Nian'an panted a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and said.

"Ji Bo..."

Splat!

"Ah ah ah ah!!!!"

Before Ji Bochang could finish his sentence, Xu Nian'an cut down with one knife, and instantly cold sweat broke out on the other's forehead, and the screams were incessant.

"From now on, you will be called A Kun, the Great Internal Manager of the Palace, and also... Commander of the Imperial Guard, understand?"

Just after he finished speaking, Xu Nian'an felt it wasn't safe enough, so he stabbed the other's heart with one knife.

Splat.

Three seconds later, a gray scroll was taken out by Xu Nian'an.

A soul was resurrected. Xu Nian'an fumbled for a long time but still didn't know how to do it, so he finally asked Electrolux to take action.

Sealing A Kun's soul within his original body, Xu Nian'an could perfectly control the other party.

He wasn't afraid that he would suddenly bring 10,000 people to backstab him and stab him.

Releasing the other party, Xu Nian'an swaggered in front of Xu Jianzong.

"From now on, he is the Manager of the Palace, and also controls 10,000 Imperial Guards."

"You start recruiting troops from today. The benefits and money must be better than the Douling Imperial Palace. Prioritize choosing locals who have families, especially those with old parents and young children, and wives."

After explaining everything, Xu Nian'an returned to the palace, thinking about whose card to flip today.

He didn't see Xu Jiujiu.

Thinking of the expression she had when she left, which looked like she was about to cry, he had a headache.

He grabbed a palace maid who came from the Star Luo Empire.

"Where is your princess?"

Hearing this, the palace maid didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly saluted.

"In the main palace, but the princess said, don't see anyone."

Xu Nian'an waved his hand. Don't see anyone—is he a person?

It was very clear he wasn't an ordinary person and wasn't among those people.

His right hand flashed, and a strange box appeared in Xu Nian'an's hand, with XM brand things written on it.

He came to the main palace, pushed the door, and it was locked. Xu Nian'an flipped through the window.

Hiss, hiss, hiss~ woo, woo, woo~

Just after entering the room, a series of whimpering and sobbing sounds rang out.

Xu Nian'an turned his head and looked at the bed.

Soon, Xu Jiujiu's aggrieved little expression came into view.
