Thus, he gently smiled: "That position... the virtuous shall take turns to sit, Xi Xi, if you wish to sit, you must strive to beco a virtuous person."
Upon hearing this, Xi Xi’s eyes suddenly brightened.
"Does Xi Xi still have a chance then?"
Xi Xi asked.
Lu Taibai, who was listening to this peculiar father-daughter conversation, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Though he started from humble beginnings, he never truly feared imperial authority, even daring to discuss... the topic of whether the throne could be tried upon in front of the Emperor’s imposing presence.
What brazen treason!
Yet, it was fitting for his direct disciple Lu Taibai!
Atop the high platform.
The Emperor’s eyes emitted an icy deanor, his brows furrowed; Xi Xi’s words unexpectedly caused his heart to skip slightly.
"Impudence!"
"Lu Taibai and Li Che, do you intend to defy the decree?"
The Emperor spoke sternly.
"Are you aware of the cost of defying the decree?"
Li Che looked towards Lu Taibai.
"Sect Master, one must bear the consequences of one’s actions. This matter is unrelated to Qian Yuan Divine Sect; it is a personal family affair of mine that defies the decree."
Li Che said, unwilling to implicate Lu Taibai.
The purpose of the opposing side was to force Lu Taibai to stand out, but if Li Che wished, given his current strength, he could easily flee far away with Xi Xi and his wife Zhang Ya.
He had this confidence.
Lu Taibai shook his sleeve, and the silvery Taibai Sword imdiately slid out, grasped in his hand.
"Why waste words, the truth is, it isn’t you who implicates Qian Yuan Divine Sect, it is Qian Yuan Divine Sect implicating you..."
"The Imperial Court has been wanting to deal with the Divine Sect for quite so ti, today it is Qian Yuan, tomorrow perhaps it will be Xuanfu, Seven Treasures, Heavenly Pill... all are possible."
Lu Taibai said indifferently.
Then, his gaze shifted to the Cloth Robe National Master with half black and half white hair in the Lotus Pavilion.
"Xie Yushen... surely this is another one of your sches? If you wish to confront my Qian Yuan, do it openly. Trying to force to defy the decree so Da Jing Dynasty has a pretext to deal with Qian Yuan Divine Sect..."
"Without inciting resistance from other Divine Sects, because Qian Yuan Divine Sect defied the decree first, correct?"
Lu Taibai spoke coldly, his sword intent rising ever higher, the silvery light like a moon plate, nearly cleaving the air apart!
His words caused the expressions of all the Divine Sect Masters to change slightly.
Xie Yushen heard this and leisurely stood up, his cloth robe wet by the spring rain, holding a oiled paper umbrella, appearing fragile.
Yet no one dared to truly consider him fragile.
Xie Yushen looked innocently at Lu Taibai: "The Qianyuan Sect Master thinks too much; making Li Nuanxi Crown Princess Consort is the Emperor’s reward! Such a generous reward, in the future, she could beco the Young Temple Master of the West Queen Mother’s Mysterious Temple!"
"She could have a great chance of Temple God Resonance with the Three Pure Bizarre Temples, even have the opportunity to obtain the Ten-thousand-year-old Peach!"
"This is a trendous blessing! How can you suspect the Emperor’s intentions so?"
Xie Yushen shook his head and sighed.
"For Taibai Sect Master to speak so wildly, to commit such treason... this is the greatest sin."
"The Emperor is ultimately the ruler of the Great Scenery Eleven Paths, overseeing the mountains and rivers of the state!"
"How can it be allowed for you to speak so wildly!"
Xie Yushen’s words, towards the end, carried a certain severity.
Despite the modest cultivation vibrations emanating from him, he unleashed an extraordinarily powerful aura.
Lu Taibai snorted in laughter, unconcerned by Xie Yushen’s tactics; he had anticipated them long ago. This national master had a silver tongue, with hardly a trustworthy word from his mouth.
Yet, Xie Yushen’s gaze swept over and rested regretfully on Li Che.
"Li Half-Saint, you should not have refused the Emperor..."
Xie Yushen said softly, then patted Lu Chi beside him, who showed a dazed expression and was completely bewildered.
Lu Chi imdiately shivered violently.
He looked at Xie Yushen in confusion.
"The Fourth Prince has already disclosed everything to the old man..."
Xie Yushen squinted his eyes, speaking.
"Back then in Fei Lei City, the Fourth Prince spent so ti with your family, so the Fourth Prince knows your identity, Li Half-Saint."
"Your masked appearance... the prince inford all about it."
"Whether I should call you Li Half-Saint, or call you... Underworld, Divine Monkey."
Rain, rain, rain, rain—
The spring rain suddenly grew torrential!
Splashing onto the White Jade Square’s surface.
On the black-tiled roofs of the nurous buildings in Divine Capital, it flowed and poured, creating countless white, veil-like mists.
Following Xie Yushen’s words.
The entire White Jade Square was instantly plunged into silence.
One gaze after another, filled with shock, filled with bewildernt, filled with... greed, all fell upon Li Che, cloaked in a dark robe, amidst the spring rain, with the Heaven and Earth Soul isolating and shielding, standing before his daughter, sheltering her from the heavens.
"Li Half-Saint... is the Divine Monkey?!"
"Underworld Divine Monkey? Could Li Half-Saint truly be the Underworld Divine Monkey? That’s truly possible... Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod was taken by the Divine Monkey in the Divine Carving Ridge of Qian Yuan Divine Sect, and Li Half-Saint was there at that ti!"
"Furthermore, it’s rumored that when the Divine Monkey took the Divine Sculpture, he received Li Half-Saint’s assistance!"
"Indeed, Li Half-Saint aided the Divine Monkey, so how could he be the Divine Monkey?"
"Hehe, you might underestimate the Divine Sculpture Half-Saint’s Divine Sculpture Skill? Carving a lifelike avatar isn’t difficult, the Buddhist Sect’s Three Lifetis, each embodied are lifelike, indistinguishable from the real, aren’t they sculpted by the Divine Sculpture?"
