Chapter 220: A small woman who holds grudges

"Imperial Preceptor, wait a moment."

Ye Tinglan turned her head, and it was the old Gu family man calling from behind: "Imperial Preceptor... let's talk aside."

Ye Tinglan nodded, signaling Si Han to enter the hall himself, and followed the old man to the corner outside the hall.

The old man said in a deep voice: "Does the Imperial Preceptor know what she is doing?"

Ye Tinglan said lightly: "Then does the Prince of Dingxi know what he is doing?"

The old man is the Great Gan Prince of Dingxi, Gu Shaoli, the great-great-uncle of Gu Zhanting. He failed to break through the barriers back then and almost died. He finally managed to pile up to the super-grade with heavenly materials and earthly treasures to extend his life, but perhaps because of the forced breakthrough, he always stayed at the initial stage, and no matter what heavenly materials and earthly treasures he ate, he could not advance half a stage further.

The Imperial Extreme Shocking World Scripture is a very special technique, its power is infinite, majestic and domineering, swallowing mountains and rivers. But it has no strengths in the direction of health preservation, and the lifespan it can increase is much shorter than other techniques. Generally, if a technique can reach the super grade, it will have a lifespan of several hundred to nearly a thousand years, and if it is good at health preservation, it may double, but the Imperial Extreme Shocking World Scripture is halved compared to the average in this regard.

It can be said that there are gains and losses.

Time has passed for so many years, and the lifespan that Gu Shaoli forced to break through and live on is also coming to an end. He usually cultivates in the secret place of the royal family and does not involve himself in the world. If it weren't for the so-called "bone dragon that has been active since ancient times" that fished him out, he would also belong to the type of asking about nothing and not wanting anyone to bother him.

Hearing Ye Tinglan's rhetorical question, he said coldly: "Of course this prince knows. Abolishing Si Han and fostering a puppet force can control the Frost Nation."

"And then?"

"And then what? This is the way for Great Gan to obtain control of the Frost Nation at the lowest cost, without blood! What else is needed?"

"Does the Prince of Dingxi mean that he will be stationed here from now on to control the Frost Nation?"

Gu Shaoli choked. He knew that it was impossible to spend energy for any Great Gan cause. He didn't have a few years to live, so why not pursue life extension, but instead come to work hard for Great Gan? The country is not his, or you Gu Zhanting pass the throne to his descendants? He could barely pay some attention.

But he still had to say verbally: "It is not impossible for this old man to stay here."

Ye Tinglan revealed a mocking smile: "How many years can you stay?"

Gu Shaoli: "..."

It seemed like he was scolded. Especially with Ye Tinglan's mocking eyes, it was particularly hard to hold on.

"Even if the Prince of Dingxi is willing to stay, perhaps he has overestimated his deterrence." Ye Tinglan said coldly: "The Frost Nation is full of sects and has a fierce folk style. Wanting to rely on a useless puppet to control this land is too wishful thinking... Looking at the high-level members of the Shadow Moon Sect today, they dared to form an array to resist with the strength of one sect. Even if the Prince of Dingxi suppresses this battle, the trouble in the future will be endless. I see the Prince of Dingxi has exhausted his efforts, and at most he can only control one Shadow Moon Sect, and it is a Shadow Moon Sect that is full of rebellion. How can we talk about controlling the Frost Nation."

Gu Shaoli said: "Does the Imperial Preceptor mean to foster Si Han instead? Wouldn't it be better to just help him unify the Frost Nation? It's a joke! You are creating enemies for Great Gan, do you still consider yourself the Imperial Preceptor of Great Gan!"

Ye Tinglan smiled slightly.

The immortal holy land does not involve secular affairs, and there is really no distinction between countries in its eyes. The reason why it is so deeply involved with Great Gan is, first, because the founding ancestor of the sect was a partner of the Gu family in establishing the dynasty. The little partners worked together to eradicate evil in the world, one established the dynasty and the other established the immortal sect, which is a good story; second, it is mainly because Great Gan is the secular main force against the demon race, so the two will maintain such a partnership for a long time. Great Gan needs the Tianyao Holy Land, and the Tianyao Holy Land also needs Great Gan.

Therefore, a large number of disciples of the Tianyao Holy Land are deployed in the army to resist the demons. Few of the past sect masters have personally run to be the Imperial Preceptor, which is both degrading and affects cultivation.

The reason why Ye Tinglan personally served is, first, to better cooperate in the battle ten years ago, and later because she noticed that Gu Zhanting was not doing things properly, so she wanted to constrain him at close range and grasp the pulse of the world at close range, not to protect his Gu family dynasty.

In the game between the two sides, it can be considered a relationship of both cooperation and opposition. Originally, she felt awkward and the road ahead was confused. Lu Xingzhou's sentence that she didn't have to be the holy land of only one country, Great Gan, was almost like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, and the world was wide.

Gu Shaoli's questioning of "do you still consider yourself the Imperial Preceptor of Great Gan" had no damage to Ye Tinglan.

Did she really think this seat was a subject of your Gu family?

"Isn't the one who creates enemies for Great Gan the Emperor himself?" Ye Tinglan said coldly: "Isn't it Gu Zhanting who helped Si Han obtain the bone dragon and helped him unify the Frost Nation?"

Speaking of this, Gu Shaoli was also a bit unhappy, but still said: "The Imperial Preceptor has no basis, how can she say that Si Han's bone dragon was obtained with the help of the Emperor? That might have been obtained by Si Han himself, and the Emperor's series of arrangements were precisely to seize the bone dragon."

"Ha..." Ye Tinglan sneered: "So the Prince of Dingxi took action against this seat, is it because the Prince of Dingxi has a grudge against this seat in private?"

Gu Shaoli had already prepared the explanation for this matter, and hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! At that time, this prince took action against the Demon Emperor, but the situation was chaotic, perhaps it caused the Imperial Preceptor to misunderstand."

Because of Lu Xingzhou's reminder, Ye Tinglan flashed away in advance, and that blow really didn't even touch the edge of Ye Tinglan. It was all a collision between Gu Shaoli, Long Qinghuang, and Si Han's bone dragon. At this time, it was really unclear who that blow was aimed at.

Ye Tinglan said lightly: "If this seat was really injured at that time, the Emperor would definitely say later that it was the Prince of Dingxi who took action indiscriminately to seize the bone dragon, and he knew nothing about it."

Gu Shaoli was stunned, his face changed slightly.

Ye Tinglan applied the medicine and did not continue to argue about this topic. Gu Zhanting had cleared everything up and looked like he had nothing to do with him. It was unclear to argue, and it was not the time to turn against each other.

She turned and said: "This seat came out of the mountain mainly to deal with the demon race. On the matter of the demon race, a Frost Nation that can maintain the intensity of the sect alliance in the past is far more useful than a Frost Nation that fosters puppets and leads to a plate of loose sand. This is the big picture."

Gu Shaoli said: "But this threat to Great Gan..."

"As for the so-called threat of the Frost Nation to Great Gan... The strength of the Frost Nation is far inferior to Great Gan, and it is remote. Si Han has established a country for so many years and has not had any conflict with Great Gan. Why does it suddenly have one now? Why does it have one, don't you have a count?" Gu Shaoli was silent.

Ye Tinglan said coldly: "The Frost Nation is not peaceful either. The Shadow Moon Sect is not the only one, and sects like the Snow Listening Pavilion are eyeing it. It is okay for Si Han to organize resistance against demons, but if he organizes to deal with Great Gan, Great Gan naturally has countless ways to incite other sects to rebel. What threat can there be? The Prince of Dingxi doesn't enjoy his remaining life well, why come to this bitter and cold place to work hard."

Gu Shaoli was silent for a long time, and finally bowed: "This prince does not involve himself in government affairs on weekdays, and does not know these things so clearly. Since the Imperial Preceptor has a decision, just do it according to the Imperial Preceptor's ideas. This prince will take a step first."

Seeing Gu Shaoli turn to leave, Ye Tinglan suddenly said: "Wait."

Gu Shaoli stopped: "Does the Imperial Preceptor have anything else?"

Ye Tinglan looked at the sky: "This seat will also take action against the Demon Emperor."

Gu Shaoli: "?"

Before he could react, Ye Tinglan suddenly pushed a palm flat, directly hitting Gu Shaoli's heart.

Gu Shaoli never thought that Ye Tinglan would suddenly take action against him. He was caught off guard and parried, but how could he withstand Ye Tinglan's long-accumulated momentum?

"Bang!" Gu Shaoli spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body flew up like riding the clouds, and crashed into the mountain rock behind, crashing into a deep pit.

"You... you..." Gu Shaoli climbed out of the pit with difficulty, pointing at Ye Tinglan tremblingly: "You..."

Ye Tinglan said calmly: "I did see the Demon Emperor descend just now. If it weren't for this seat's action, the Prince of Dingxi would have been injured by the Demon Emperor at this moment. No need to thank me."

Gu Shaoli was injured and in pain, feeling that the lifespan that didn't have a few years left was lost by half with this palm, and he was so angry that he vomited another mouthful of blood.

It is said that the Imperial Preceptor is very tolerant for the sake of the big picture, what is this small woman who holds grudges?

In the end, it was he who sneaked an attack first on the glacier. At this moment, he could only swallow this dumb loss, and couldn't even leave a harsh word, and flew away angrily, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Lu Xingzhou turned out from behind the hall and smiled at Ye Tinglan.

Ye Tinglan's indifferent appearance couldn't hold on for long, and she rolled her eyes: "What are you laughing at!"

"Nothing, seeing you willing to take action to beat him, I am very comforted."

"Do you think I am a little daughter-in-law who accepts everything?"

"Almost thought you were."

Ye Tinglan was silent for a long time, sighed: "I just... don't want to have internal strife with the Gan Emperor, and let the demon race take advantage of it in vain. But since his conspiracy has played on me, how can I swallow my anger?"

"But in fact, there is no evidence. Even that traitor in your Tianyao Holy Land may not have intuitive evidence to prove that it was instigated by Gu Zhanting. Everything is my analysis and speculation, what if it is wrong?"

Ye Tinglan looked at him for a while and smiled slightly: "The development of things is all guessed right by you, so the root cause will not be wrong. What's more..."

"Hmm?"

Ye Tinglan tilted her head slightly: "I believe you."

Lu Xingzhou blinked.

Ye Tinglan said somewhat angrily: "Why are you standing there, enter the hall and talk."

Lu Xingzhou sighed: "What's the rush, the butt hasn't been wiped clean yet."

Ye Tinglan: "?"

"You said something very well just now, the Shadow Moon Sect is not the only one, and sects like the Snow Listening Pavilion are eyeing it. This is your confidence in being able to handle Si Han, right?"

"Isn't it?"

"The words are correct, but what if the Snow Listening Pavilion is gone?"

Ye Tinglan was stunned: "How is it possible, I have been here, and I didn't notice any signs of people from the Shadow Moon Sect chasing out."

"Si Han is the sovereign, not just the Shadow Moon Sect Master. He has operated for so many years, and the power he can use is definitely more than his own... If it's not good, there might be demonic paths." Lu Xingzhou said: "If you can travel with your spirit, try to save the Snow Listening Pavilion Master and his party. If you want to be the holy land of the Frost Nation, what you need is not just to show grace to the sovereign, there is still a lot you need to do."
