Chapter 130

Yun Shang looked up at Yun Yuehua, a flash of surprise in her eyes, then smiled: "Aunt, why are you here? Please sit down."

The reason she was surprised was that she felt this aunt was becoming more and more plump and seductive, swaying when she walked; if the "intelligence" given by Li Sining was correct, wasn't this the type Li Chen liked?

This wasn't her guessing blindly; Lady Youlan had the same idea as her.

Yun Shang let the maid serve tea and snacks, and the two of them slowly started chatting from the situation of the Yun family, starting to pull relationships.

Yun Yuehua thought that after they were familiar, she would put forward her request to see if her niece could help.

Coincidentally, Yun Shang had the same idea, so the two of them chatted very "congenially."

Starting from the family story at the beginning, chatting to Yun Shang's father, Yun Xu, who was the commander of the Second Army, Yun Yuehua cared about Yun Shang's father's health condition.

Yun Shang indicated that her father's health condition was good, and thanked her aunt for her care.

Starting from this topic, Yun Shang then asked Yun Yuehua about the sect, such as what level of cultivation she had reached, Yun Yuehua's status in the sect, and whether she had a partner.

Yun Yuehua also told the truth; she had just broken through to the Heavenly Abyss Realm recently.

Hearing this, Yun Shang expressed congratulations; the Heavenly Abyss Realm was already a very terrifying realm, and she also felt that Yun Yuehua should tell the people in the family about this matter and let the family hold a grand banquet for her as a blessing.

Yun Yuehua politely refused; she indicated that she was used to being idle and didn't like this kind of liveliness.

Then Yun Yuehua continued to say that she served as an elder in the Tianyan Tianyan Shen Zong; although she didn't know why her niece asked if she had a partner, she still answered that she had a partner.

This made Yun Shang's plan fail; she had intended to introduce her aunt to Li Chen, but it turned out her aunt was already married.

A pity; she estimated Li Chen wouldn't like a married woman either.

The reason she thought so was that when she was fawning over Li Chen, Li Chen didn't seem to have any intention of accepting her.

Yun Shang symbolically asked: "Aunt, did your partner come to the Imperial Capital? If not, please invite him to the mansion; I'll hold a welcome banquet for you."

Yun Yuehua replied with a sorrowful face: "My partner died in a battle with a hostile sect many years ago, but I also killed that person with my own hands to avenge him."

Speaking of this, the scene instantly became awkward; Yun Shang didn't know her aunt's partner was dead, and asking like this was indeed a bit sad.

Seeming to see the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Yun Yuehua saw her niece's embarrassed expression and wanted to take the initiative to break the awkwardness, saying: "Why don't I see the Crown Prince? Is he busy? If he is busy, then I won't disturb him."

Yun Shang sighed and replied: "The Crown Prince died accidentally half a year ago, and the murderer hasn't been found yet."

Yun Yuehua: "..."

Originally wanted to break the awkwardness, but now it was even more awkward.

Yun Yuehua really wasn't doing it on purpose; she had been in seclusion for breakthrough this past year, and this was just after the breakthrough was completed, so she really didn't know about this matter.

Two widows chatting here for a long time, and they even talked about topics that were relatively sad for each other.

Both of them were thinking in their hearts, how does it feel like the women of the Yun family are all destined to be widows? Are we very husband-killing?

Just at this moment, a breeze blew, and the bead curtain outside the main hall swayed gently, making a crisp sound, as if telling endless sorrow for these two bitter women.

After a long time, Yun Shang, in order to open the topic, said: "Aunt, have you ever thought about finding another partner to accompany you?"

A flash of resentment flashed in Yun Yuehua's eyes, saying: "No, I already have him in my heart, and it's hard to accommodate others. On the contrary, you are young and beautiful, and have plenty of time. Why not follow me to the sect to cultivate, then change your name and surname, and start a new life."

This kind of sect cultivator who was a bit ancient valued chastity very much, but she didn't want her niece to be a widow like herself. Her niece was still young, so she wanted to use this method to let her niece start a new life.

Yun Shang also knew what her aunt meant; I also want to find a partner, but even if I throw myself at him, he doesn't want me, so what can I do!

"Aunt, my matter is not urgent, but Aunt, did you have something to do when you came to the Imperial Capital?" Yun Shang finally got to the point.

She had been thinking that Yun Yuehua came all the way from the central region of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, so it couldn't be just to chat about this kind of awkward thing with her.

"To tell you the truth, the He He Zongzhu of the sect I belong to, Lord Dingtian, offended the Emperor recently and was locked in the prison. I came here this time to ask you to pull strings and let us meet the Emperor to see if there is any room for maneuver in this matter." Yun Yuehua was also telling the truth.

"Ah? Lord Dingtian is your He He Zongzhu?" Yun Shang only then reacted; the Sage Realm powerhouse who was defeated by Li Chen a few days ago was the He He Zongzhu of the Tianyan Tianyan Shen Zong.

No wonder Yun Yuehua came all the way here; so that's how it was.

But the problem was, Yun Shang felt that she didn't have any close relationship with Li Chen; she herself found it difficult to find Li Chen, so how could she help Yun Yuehua pull strings?

The only way was to try to ask Li Sining through Consort Yi.

After Yun Shang indicated that she would send someone to the palace, Yun Yuehua took her leave and indicated that she would come again tomorrow.

After sending Yun Yuehua away, Yun Shang was thinking again: It seems Aunt definitely won't be fancied by Li Chen; I have to think about other candidates.

Returning to the inn, the Acting He He Zongzhu, Ling Tian, asked anxiously: "How is it? What did your niece say?"

He could indeed use the identity of the Acting He He Zongzhu of the Tianyan Tianyan Shen Zong to request an audience with Li Chen, but if he met directly like this, it would indeed be hard to speak; finding an acquaintance could also find out the Emperor's meaning.

"No problem, my niece will give me a reply tomorrow." Lady Yuehua said confidently.

Yun Shang herself didn't have confidence; she didn't know where her confidence came from.

Lady Youlan felt it was unnecessary to be so troublesome, but they had to follow the process, and she had no way.

The next day, Yun Shang heard the maid's reply that Li Chen agreed to meet the group from the Tianyan Tianyan Shen Zong and let Yun Shang bring them.

Yun Shang herself felt it was incredible; when did I have such face?

But this was an opportunity to see Li Chen, so she had to dress up well.

Maybe Li Chen would fancy her if he was "old and dim-sighted." In order to seduce Li Chen, she also went all out.

The Imperial Study was a relatively formal office place for the Emperor, and Yun Shang brought the three people from the Tianyan Tianyan Shen Zong here.

When coming, Yun Shang had been telling them the rules of the palace.

The one to be met this time was the Sage Realm Emperor.

In Yun Shang's description, this Emperor was incomparably majestic, and there could be no overstepping in front of him.

The three people from the Tianyan Tianyan Shen Zong also indicated they understood.

In fact, Ling Tian and Lady Yuehua had doubts; wasn't it said that this Emperor was very young, so how powerful could he be?

Maybe Lord Dingtian's failure this time was also an accident.

But after walking into the Imperial Study, Ling Tian and Lady Yuehua simultaneously felt an incomparable Heavenly Dao deterrence covering them, instantly making them look terrified.

Because in front of this deterrence, they felt as if they were in a storm, and they were like a lonely boat in the storm, likely to be swallowed at any time.

Ling Tian and Lady Yuehua looked in one direction almost at the same time, only to see the young Emperor sitting on the dragon chair in the Imperial Study.

He was wearing a dragon robe, his brows revealed extraordinary divine power, and his every gesture showed the demeanor of a king.

Even if Li Chen didn't do anything, the vast aura on his body was undoubtedly displayed.

Just by looking at it, Ling Tian and Lady Yuehua knew they were not this person's opponent.

Even Lady Youlan, who was in the Sage Realm beside them, was still too far away; it was simply a world of difference.

Everyone in front of Li Chen seemed so small, even a bit helpless.

Ling Tian and Lady Yuehua both felt an indescribable shock in their hearts.

Thinking in their hearts: Now I can understand; no wonder it's said that Lord Dingtian failed even with a sneak attack. This is too strong; is this still a normal Sage Realm?

Ling Tian even felt that the Emperor in front of him could kill him directly in one move.

If Li Chen knew, Li Chen would definitely say: One move? Are you looking down on me? Does it need one move to hit you?

Those who could withstand one move from Li Chen were at the level of Lord Dingtian.

Because they were sect cultivators, they had been in the sect for a long time and had a high status.

Ling Tian and Lady Yuehua actually didn't know what to do when they saw Li Chen for the first time.

Normally, they didn't need to kneel when seeing the Emperor.

At this time, Yun Shang and Lady Youlan had already knelt down very naturally to pay respects to Li Chen.

This made Ling Tian feel a bit puzzled; Yun Shang was from the Imperial Capital, so he could understand her kneeling to the Emperor, but why did Lady Youlan feel so skilled at kneeling?

Maybe this was the powerful imitation ability of the Sage Realm.

Thinking clearly about this point, Ling Tian and Lady Yuehua beside him also immediately knelt down to pay respects to Li Chen.

Now was not the time to want face; at this level, kneeling wasn't shameful.

For the next scene, Ling Tian also didn't understand; after he knelt down, shouldn't the Emperor call for them to rise? Why did he start the conversation without calling, causing him to keep kneeling here.

Actually, this was Li Chen's habit.

Because the Emperors of the past called for rising relatively quickly, it was because they were also afraid of offending these powerhouses.

Li Chen wasn't afraid; you guys just kneel; I like watching you kneel and listen to me talk.

Li Chen's gaze swept over the three of them and said slowly: "It's the people from the Tianyan Tianyan Shen Zong, right? I was planning to go settle accounts with you, but I didn't expect you to come." Li Chen first placed himself at the highest point, questioning them in a high-profile manner.

Definitely had to find trouble with you, otherwise you would think I was easy to talk to.

Ling Tian took a deep breath, his tone filled with sincerity: "Your Majesty, regarding Lord Dingtian's unfavorable actions toward Your Majesty, it was all his own initiative. No one else in the sect knew about it. I deeply know that this act is rebellious, and I hope Your Majesty can forgive us a little."

Next was acting according to the script.

Li Chen was slightly angry, indicating that whether others in the Tianyan Tianyan Shen Zong knew about this matter or participated in it was not for you to say, but for me to decide.

Just when Ling Tian felt a bit hopeless, Lady Youlan began to bargain, asking Li Chen if there was any way to make up for the mistakes.

If they could do something for Your Majesty and the May Tian Ce Dynasty, perhaps it could reduce Lord Dingtian's crime.

Ling Tian and Lady Yuehua had some doubts in their hearts; is this in our script?

However, seeing the anger on the Emperor's face dissipate a little, they also knew this might be a way, so they could only follow along, indicating they could help Your Majesty within their ability.

But there was one point they didn't say: the premise was that Your Majesty couldn't be too excessive, otherwise they would fight to the death.

!

Saying such words at this time was just looking for death, so just say the first half.

These words of Lady Youlan were also the result Li Chen's script wanted.

He immediately indicated that in order to prevent such things from happening again, he should indeed find a time to talk to the sect cultivators, but it didn't mean he would easily let the Tianyan Tianyan Shen Zong go.

When Ling Tian heard this, was there room for maneuver?

He immediately said as the Acting He He Zongzhu that he was willing to lead the sect masters of all sects in the Nine Abyss Holy Domain to find a suitable place to discuss with Li Chen, this Emperor.

Li Chen nodded slightly, agreed with his statement, and let him go discuss these matters with the Minister of Justice, Pang Jin.

Li Chen was the Emperor; where did he need to arrange these small things himself?

Ling Tian thanked him repeatedly and walked out of the Imperial Study with sweat all over his head.

On the way back, Ling Tian also praised Lady Youlan for being worthy of being in the Sage Realm, finding a point for negotiation so quickly.

He just saw the Emperor get angry and thought this negotiation would definitely fail, and even his own life was hanging by a thread, but it turned out there was a turning point; he really didn't expect it.

Lady Yuehua also praised her senior sister for being able to remain calm in the face of such a powerful Sage Realm Emperor, truly saving the majesty of the Tianyan Tianyan Shen Zong.

Lady Youlan smiled and didn't know what to say.

We all knelt down, so what majesty is left?

I'm not afraid only because I have that layer of relationship with Li Chen.

And all of this was Li Chen's and my game, and you two were the fish that took the bait.

Lady Yuehua was still constantly thanking Yun Shang; in her view, all of this was Yun Shang's credit.

If it weren't for Yun Shang, the Emperor probably wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

Yun Shang always felt very strange, but she couldn't say anything here, so she just dealt with it casually.

However, what made her happier was that she already had a reason to approach Li Chen; even if there was no progress today, there was plenty of time.

For the next few days, the people of the Tianyan Tianyan Shen Zong had to do the docking with the Minister of Justice, Pang Jin.

They had to choose the date and location for Li Chen to meet the sect masters of the major sects in the Nine Abyss Holy Domain, as well as the list of people traveling, and the security work at that time, all of which needed to be considered clearly.

These matters were naturally handled by the Acting He He Zongzhu, Ling Tian; he had always been familiar with this aspect of the business.

When Lord Dingtian was the He He Zongzhu before, it was also Ling Tian who managed the internal affairs of the sect.

Lady Youlan and Lady Yuehua returned to the inn where they were staying.

In the evening, Lady Yuehua prepared to go find Yun Shang again; after all, this niece was also a widow, maybe she would be a bit lonely, so she would enlighten her well.

Besides, the niece also helped a lot.

But when Lady Yuehua went out, she found Lady Youlan leaving the inn sneakily.

This made her very curious, so she followed all the way.

Following and following, the road in front became more and more familiar; wasn't this the road to the Imperial Palace?

Then Lady Yuehua saw Lady Youlan enter the Imperial Palace; this made her puzzled: what was Lady Youlan doing in the Imperial Palace late at night?

Could it be?

Lady Yuehua shook her head; she felt her senior sister wasn't that kind of person; they sect cultivators valued reputation very much.

Lady Yuehua waited in the dark outside the sect, and until early the next morning, Lady Youlan came out of the Imperial Palace and returned to the inn quietly.

All of this told Lady Yuehua that there must be something fishy in it.

If Lady Youlan had something to do with the Emperor, she wouldn't have gone for a whole night.

Lady Yuehua returned to her room, and when it was time to eat, she pretended to mention to Lady Youlan how she rested last night, preparing to fish for words.

Lady Youlan said she wasn't used to the bed board of the inn, so Lady Yuehua was 100% sure that her senior sister was lying.

Tonight, Lady Yuehua hid in the dark again by chance; she hoped yesterday was just a misunderstanding.

But when the time came, she still saw Lady Youlan leave the inn and go to the Imperial Palace, and also returned quietly the next day.

This made the trace of luck in Lady Yuehua's heart begin to waver.

Lady Youlan was beautiful and plump, and the Emperor was young and strong; if these two stayed in the Imperial Palace for a night, I'm afraid anyone would know what would happen.

Not to mention Lady Yuehua was already a married woman.

However, Lady Yuehua couldn't imagine that the holy senior sister would do such a thing; ever since she entered the sect, she had taken her senior sister as an example.

For the sake of that "luck," today Lady Yuehua took the initiative to help Lady Youlan comb her hair and touched some things on her neck.

Then, using the excuse of tidying up her clothes, she did something to her underwear.

The result of everything would have to wait until tomorrow.

That night, as expected, Lady Youlan went to the Imperial Palace again and stayed in the Imperial Palace for a night.

On the third day, Lady Yuehua found that the marks she had made on her senior sister had indeed disappeared; now she could confirm that her senior sister was definitely going to serve in bed.

Now Lady Yuehua was very angry; Lord Dingtian was still locked in the prison, life or death unknown; how could her senior sister do such a thing!

When I entered the sect, it was you, senior sister, who told me personally that the reputation of us cultivators was more important than anything.

Lady Yuehua had a feeling of faith collapse.

When she was about to tell Ling Tian about this, she began to hesitate.

Lady Yuehua felt that Lady Youlan must have a reason for doing so.

She began to analyze everything calmly.

The three people from the Tianyan Tianyan Shen Zong came here from the sect, were together all the way, and it was also the first time meeting the Emperor.

And when meeting the Emperor, the Emperor also didn't have any overstepping words, and even his eyes were very normal.

Then first of all, it could be ruled out that the senior sister was threatened by the Emperor.

Because if the Emperor was the kind who was obsessed with beauty and even wanted the senior sister, he would definitely not let her go.

Lady Yuehua was still very confident about this point; her appearance and figure were not inferior.

But she wasn't threatened, which meant this matter could only have one explanation.

That was the senior sister went to serve in bed voluntarily.

As for why the senior sister went voluntarily, it was mostly for the sect, for the safety of Lord Dingtian who was locked in the prison.

Lady Yuehua thought this way, and everything became reasonable.

Thinking of this, Lady Yuehua felt a bit guilty; the senior sister was sacrificing herself for others, and she actually thought of her so unbearably just now.

The senior sister might be sadder than anyone else now, but she could only watch.

And every day when the senior sister came back, she was very weak.

Recalling so many years, the senior sister had always taken care of her.

She was thinking about what she could do to share a little pain for her senior sister.
