The sudden act of kneeling and admitting fault by Lin Shanshan shocked everyone present.
Luo Xiu, after a brief mont of astonishnt, gradually cald down.
He stared at Lin Shanshan, who was kneeling before him, with a contemplative expression, seemingly understanding her intentions.
Lin Shanshan looked up at him and said, "Father, it was my own decision to kill Luo Yunnie and Gu Jianxi and expose their bodies at the city gate!"
"Punish !"
As her words fell, everyone turned to look at Luo Xiu, urgently wanting to know his reaction to the matter.
At this mont, Luo Xiu was already clear in his heart.
Lin Xiyue suddenly cast a glance at him and spoke, "Shanshan did act without consideration in this matter, so she must be severely punished."
Luo Xiu felt quite helpless, so he could only follow Lin Shanshan's wishes and said to her, "Dismiss your imperial position for now, and reflect on your actions."
These simple eight words were like thunder to everyone present.
...
The next day.
Civil and military officials gathered at the Hall of Affairs, yet the Empress was nowhere to be seen.
After a long wait, Luo Xiu lazily walked out from behind the screen like a lord, wearing knee-length shorts and flip-flops.
The venue for national affairs was so sacred!
If a common person dared to dress like this, they would certainly be scolded harshly.
But no one dared to object to how Luo Xiu dressed.
And seeing Luo Xiu attend the court, the perceptive ministers sensed a major event was imminent.
Since the founding of the Yanhuang Empire, Luo Xiu had never appeared in any formal occasion.
Luo Xiu walked over and sat on the throne, surveying the ministers below without any redundant words, directly announcing that the Empress had been dismissed and the Pri Minister would temporarily manage empire affairs.
As soon as his words were spoken, the entire hall burst into an uproar!
The Great Ancestor Emperor had actually dismissed the Empress!
This news was too explosive!
Yet no one dared to object.
Because everyone knew, in the Yanhuang Empire, any matter could be decided by the Great Ancestor Emperor's word!
Even if it was to dismiss the Empress.
...
...
Luo's Courtyard.
Luo Xiu, just returning from the palace, watched Lin Shanshan "reflecting on her actions" on the swing and said, "Actually, you really didn't have to do this. Killing them was what I intended."
Luo Xiu naturally understood that Lin Shanshan would kneel and admit fault publicly and willingly take punishnt just to take the incident with Luo Yunnie and Gu Jianxi upon herself.
It's fair to say this was a play directed by the father and daughter, with everyone as actors.
And there was only one audience for this play, which was Luo Xian.
"I feel it's very necessary."
Lin Shanshan looked at Luo Xiu and said, "Though there may be a hint of 'being the victim and the hero,' doing this at least ensures Aunt won't resent you. If she wants to bla soone, she can bla ."
Luo Xiu sighed softly, "Do you have to be so magnanimous?"
"Who says I'm your daughter?"
Luo Xiu said, "But in the end, I wouldn't let that couple go because of your aunt, regardless."
Lin Shanshan said, "But if this matter prevents you and Aunt from seeing each other again, isn't that unnecessary?"
Luo Xiu said, "The matter has reached this point, saying more is useless, now you can only reflect at ho."
Lin Shanshan playfully laughed, "Well, I wanted to take a break anyway."
Luo Xiu asked, "How's your Godslayer Force cultivation going?"
"Hmm, it's okay. The cultivation technique I learned from Ya Tianyun and Second Master's advice have put on track, allowing normal cultivation of the Godslayer Force."
"That's good."
"Oh, Dad, Second Master taught a lot of Ghost Valley Daoism, said to be not inferior to your 'Sword Thirteen'."
Luo Xiu laughed, "These are techniques I've played with before."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shanshan puffed up her cheeks and said defiantly, "I want to spar with you!"
"Then we need to find the right place. Not boasting, but with my current power, if I'm not careful, I could destroy Shura City with a punch."
"Uh... Can I take back what I just said?"
"..."
...
Ti flows like water.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Over these two weeks, Luo Xiu lived leisurely, spending ti fishing or traveling with the ladies, enjoying the landscapes.
Yan Huang Star is vast, with many places he hasn't explored yet.
It's another sunny morning.
Across the endless sea surface.
A luxury giant ship slowly sailed.
Inside the spacious cabin.
Luo Xiu opened his eyes, looked at Lin Xiyue lying on his left, and then looked at Hua Muyan lying on his right, involuntarily recalling the previous night's wild scenes.
Last night, after much persuasion, coercion, and inducent, along with plenty of alcohol, he finally got the two won to agree together.
Planning to showcase his legendary 'one-second-ten stabs,' but ultimately, he t a miserable defeat.
The cabin was in disarray.
The floor in front of the bed was scattered with various won's clothing.
Tattered stockings hanging from the bedside drifted lightly like smoke.
"Hiss..."
Luo Xiu winced, rubbing his aching waist as he sat up, then quietly and carefully got out of bed to the deck.
"Damn, this two-on-one really is enormous pressure, feels like the Hongng Holy Body plus Thunder Path Physique aren't enough."
"Perhaps I should refine so elixir to enhance combat power?"
"Oh forget it, why would Mr. Luo need dication?"
In his thoughts, a mystical aura suddenly appeared in the void in front of him, instantaneously condensing into a line of text.
This was a secret ssage from Luo Yue's Divine Sense.
The content was simple, only one sentence: the Pri Minister urgently requests to see you and the Empress!
Luo Xiu's heart sank slightly, waving away the line of text, suddenly having a bad premonition.
As normally, Guan Zhongbao would never seek him out.
Unless sothing truly significant had happened.
"Xiyue, wake up."
Luo Xiu returned to the cabin, waking the still sleeping Lin Xiyue.
"Hmm... What are you doing? Let sleep a little longer."
"The Pri Minister has urgent matters for us."
"..."
Shura City.
Pri Minister's Mansion.
When Luo Xiu and Lin Xiyue found Guan Zhongbao, they discovered Lin Shanshan, Master Ping, Dou Dou, and others present.
Guan Zhongbao sat weakly on a mat, looking pale.
Oil lamps surrounded the mat, containing so kind of Array Principle.
"Crown Prince, you finally arrived!"
Lao Ba fluttered its wings to Luo Xiu's shoulder, its tone filled with urgency.
Luo Xiu looked at Guan Long and Guan Feng beside him, seeing the siblings with tears in their eyes, his mood grew heavy seeing Guan Zhongbao's frail state.
"What happened?"
Guan Zhongbao looked up at Luo Xiu, weakly saying, "People from the Celestial Realm sohow used a Secret Technique and have entered the Boundless Heavens. Soon, they will descend upon the Three Thousand Worlds."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu's eyes slightly darkened and said, "What's ant to co always will."
"..."
...
Land of All Things.
Years later, Solitude revisiting this place inevitably invoked feelings.
The endless darkness seed palpable, oppressing to the point of suffocation.
"Senior, passing through Wanwu Underground Realm, you'd be better off directly breaking the boundary barrier."
"Searching like this might take years or centuries to find a crack leading to the Lower Realm."
Dragon King Yao Yun couldn't help but complain, feeling like he boarded a pirate ship.
Solitude sighed, "No choice, it just takes ti. Can't really break the barrier to enter the Lower Realm."
Just as he spoke, he suddenly stopped.
"Huh? Could this aura be..."
"Senior, have you found sothing?"
Solitude felt a rush of joy, saying, "Unexpected that after all these years, I can still sense its aura."
Feeling the faint aura, Solitude recalled the pair of walnuts he once sealed in the Primordial Divine Treasury.
"Seems so fated person has opened the treasure and taken them out."
"But why only Lan An? Where's Shi Huainiao?"
"..."
