“Dao Qing Grandmaster, you may leave for now. This emperor and the great offering have some important matters to discuss,” said the Western Continent Emperor with a smile.
“Understood, I will take my leave first.” After Dao Qing Grandmaster turned and stepped out of the Hall of the Supreme Emperor, his expression darkened like ink. “I must inform Xiao Zhang about this matter; otherwise...”
After confirming his decision, Dao Qing Grandmaster headed towards the Seventh Princess's Residence…
In the Hall of the Supreme Emperor.
“Quick, tell me how things went!” The Western Continent Emperor, with Fang Zixi's alluring figure flashing in his mind, turned to Helian Mengde and asked urgently, “Did Palace Master Fang agree?”
Helian Mengde replied truthfully, “Report to the emperor, she did not agree.”
“Didn’t?” The Western Continent Emperor’s expression changed, “Does she not want to live?”
“Please listen to me,” Helian Mengde said. “Although Palace Master Fang did not agree, she also did not outright refuse.”
“Since she did not immediately refuse, there is a seventy percent chance. So, Your Majesty, rest assured, Fang Zixi will agree sooner or later.”
“At this critical moment, we should not pressure her too much. Just wait, and unless something unexpected happens, she will definitely come to the Imperial Palace before the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb trial.”
The Western Continent Emperor nodded, “Your words make sense. This matter cannot be rushed.”
“If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave,” said Helian Mengde.
“There is one more thing,” the Western Continent Emperor instructed. “You must issue a decree stating that soon, many people from the Eastern Continent, Southern Continent, and Northern Ancestral Dynasty will enter the Western Continent Divine Domain in search of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race. Our people should avoid any conflicts upon encountering them.”
“Understood, I will handle it right away.” After receiving the order, Helian Mengde left, and a confident smile appeared on the Western Continent Emperor's face. “Fang Zixi, you will sooner or later be this emperor’s woman; you cannot escape my grasp.”
……
After Dao Qing Grandmaster returned to the Seventh Princess's Residence, he found the steward and learned from Guan Feng that Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi had entered seclusion.
Thus, Dao Qing Grandmaster did not disturb Tan Yun immediately but decided to wait until Tan Yun emerged from seclusion before informing him about the three emperors wanting to hunt him down…
……
Time flowed like a river, and seasons changed.
In the blink of an eye, sixty years had passed.
In the Third Princess's Residence.
Inside a grand hall, Yu Yunyi looked at Yu Shan, angrily stamping her foot. “Fifth Imperial Brother, what should we do? That damned Yu Yunxi and her personal guard Xiao Zhang have turned into turtles, staying in seclusion all year round!”
“Should I send someone to the Seventh Princess's Residence to kill Xiao Zhang?”
“Absolutely not!” Yu Shan quickly replied, “Dao Qing Grandmaster resides in the Seventh Princess's Residence. If you send someone to kill, not only will you fail, but you will also suffer consequences.”
“Then what about sending powerful warriors?” Yu Yunyi suggested again.
“Who can we send?” Yu Shan sighed. “Even the four grand marshals may not be Dao Qing Grandmaster's match. The people we can send are like ants in front of him.”
“Then what should we do?” Yu Yunyi exclaimed angrily. “I cannot deal with Yu Yunxi for now, but that lackey mocked me back then; I must kill him!”
Yu Shan reassured her, “Don’t worry, Third Imperial Sister. Xiao Zhang cannot hide forever. As soon as he shows up, I guarantee I will kill him.”
“Is that true?”
“Of course.”
Yu Yunyi smiled, “You treat me well, Fifth Imperial Brother. The Crown Prince doesn’t even pay attention to me.”
Hearing the word "Crown Prince," a hint of coldness flashed in Yu Shan's eyes before he returned to normal. “Third Imperial Sister, please try to understand Big Brother. He is to be the future emperor; it’s normal that he is busy and cannot focus on you.”
