“Is it the celestial master your excellency!”
With a cold voice, a woman dressed in black armor descended from the sky, landing before celestial master Lingxia, and walked step by step toward Xuan Yuan Rou.
“Thud!”
Mu Feng Divine King suddenly knelt on the ground, raising his gaze toward celestial master Lingxia, and pleaded, “Celestial master your excellency, please calm your anger.”
Mu Feng Divine King suddenly knelt on the ground, looking up at celestial master Lingxia, pleading, “Celestial master your excellency, please calm your anger. Rou'er is not only the top divine soldier in my Mu Family Army, but I also regard her as my granddaughter.”
“Rou'er has not seen much of the world, which is why she caused such a trouble. I hope celestial master your excellency can spare her, considering my loyalty.”
After saying this, while Mu Feng Divine King remained kneeling, he transmitted a message to Tan Yun, saying, “Don’t worry, this old man will protect your fiancée.”
Hearing this, Tan Yun felt grateful but was also confused, thinking, “Why did Rou'er have such a strong reaction upon seeing Snow Shadow Celestial Master…”
As he pondered, a shiver ran through Tan Yun, “The eyes, nose, and face of Snow Shadow Celestial Master look quite similar to Rou'er. Could it be… could it be she truly is my daughter!”
Just as Tan Yun was deep in thought, Xuan Yuan Rou hurriedly prostrated herself on the ground facing celestial master Lingxia. Taking a deep breath, celestial master Lingxia looked at Mu Feng Divine King, wanting to say something, when Snow Shadow Celestial Master revealed a cold smile on her stunning face, slowly turning to look at celestial master Lingxia and said lightly, “Celestial master Lingxia, you really have a bad temper. This divine soldier is staring at me, yet I am not angry. What are you getting worked up about?”
“And besides, as the saying goes, ‘breaking a cup may bring peace.’ This girl named Rou'er merely broke a wine cup. Are you really going to put her to death?”
Tan Yun and everyone present could see that Snow Shadow Celestial Master’s words were not meant to help Xuan Yuan Rou, but rather, she was quite displeased with celestial master Lingxia.
“Snow Shadow, please say less.” After the primordial supreme spoke, he transmitted a message to Snow Shadow Celestial Master, saying, “My good disciple, celestial master Lingxia has never held any hostility toward you. Why do you always oppose her?”
Snow Shadow Celestial Master replied, “Master, I just find her displeasing.”
“You child, truly rude.” The primordial supreme said displeased, and looked at celestial master Lingxia, “Lingxia, let it go. It’s not worth getting angry over a divine soldier. Besides, my disciple wouldn’t hold a grudge over a mere glance from her.”
After hearing this, celestial master Lingxia lightly nodded, “As you wish, supreme lord.”
After speaking, celestial master Lingxia cast an annoyed glance at Snow Shadow Celestial Master before waving her hand at the woman in black armor.
The woman then transformed into a beam of light, disappearing above the Nourishing Spirit Garden.
“Mu Feng Divine King, you may rise as well,” celestial master Lingxia said.
“Thank you, celestial master your excellency, for your mercy.” Mu Feng Divine King replied as he got up.
“Thank you, celestial master your excellency, for sparing my life.” Xuan Yuan Rou bowed and had just stood up when Snow Shadow Celestial Master coldly said, “Why are you staring at me? You’re not looking at celestial master Lingxia, so why thank her?”
“Kneel before me!”
Looking at Snow Shadow Celestial Master, Xuan Yuan Rou’s beautiful eyes filled with tears once more, and she knelt back down on the ground, facing Snow Shadow Celestial Master, “Xuan Yuan Rou pays homage to celestial master your excellency.”
At this moment, to everyone else, it seemed Xuan Yuan Rou was crying out of fear.
Little did they know they were mistaken!
