Chapter 1777 Shame
"Young Master, the Young Mistress has indeed been arrested!" In the small building where Liu Xu had lived for several years, the loyal old servant told Liu Xu the latest news he had collected.

"Is the young madam in danger of her life?" Liu Xu asked expressionlessly.

"I can't explain it!" The old servant smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Originally, the Emperor of Heaven issued a beheading order to behead all those who dared to cause trouble. But there were too many people causing trouble, and there were too many groups and forces. More than 100,000 people were arrested yesterday. Over the past few days, more than a million people have been arrested. The prison is full."

"Young Madam was captured while she was rescuing a wounded person. It seems that she did not reveal her identity. She was just locked up with ordinary female prisoners, so her life should not be in danger. No matter how crazy the Emperor of Heaven is, he can't kill the millions of people who were captured before and after!"

"Really?" Liu Xu nodded and stopped talking. The old servant hesitated for a while, then asked, "Master, do you want me to spend some money to see if I can get the person out? I see that many families have done this!"

"No!" Liu Xu waved his hand and said, "If we come forward to replace the person, it would be equivalent to admitting the relationship between the young lady and us, and this would fall into the hands of others. It would be best if the young lady could come out by herself. If she can't come out, she will die in there by herself, and our family will not be implicated!"

"Yes..." The old servant was shocked when he heard this. He had never thought that the seemingly stupid young master could be so decisive. It seemed that the He family's foundation could continue to be passed down.

"By the way, tomorrow is the time to sign the contract!" Liu Xu suddenly asked.

"Yes, in the Holy City Square!" said the old servant. "The Ronggu Army had already cleared the area a week in advance. All the houses nearby were demolished. There was a piece of open space of several hundred square kilometers in the Holy City. It was all guarded by the Ronggu Army soldiers. No outsider could get close!"

"Oh, with such high level of cultivation, is the Emperor of Heaven still so afraid of being assassinated?" Liu Xu asked in surprise.

Indeed, methods such as clearing the venue are very effective for mortals, but they are actually meaningless for cultivators. Anyone who can open the Void Gate can directly open the Void Gate and come to the square.

Therefore, if an assassination is really intended, clearing the area will be ineffective. It still depends on the personal strength of the army and the Emperor of Heaven.

"The main reason is that they are afraid that the common people will cause trouble!" The old servant looked around, then whispered to Liu Xu, "I heard a scholar on the street say that although the signing of the contract between the two worlds is the business of the masters of the two worlds, the common people are not without their own rights. If a large number of people oppose it on the spot, and a large number of wills rise to the sky, then the void will not recognize this contract!"

"What this scholar said is so strange. He even said that this world is our world, not the nobleman's world, nor the Ronggu Emperor's world. This is really too strange. If this world is not the Emperor's world, whose world could it be? We mortals are lucky to be alive. How can we be the masters of the world!"

"Who can tell what will happen in the future?" Liu Xu smiled slightly, then said, "Okay, you go and do your work, I want to read some more books!"

"Yes!" The old servant nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Liu Xu continue, "I am going to entertain a friend tonight. You bring up some food and drinks, and then everyone disperse. Do not come near my small building, otherwise don't stay at home!" "Yes!" The old servant agreed again, but he was curious in his heart. Since his young master had a serious illness, he had almost cut off all social interactions with the outside world, and even did not see many of his old friends. Over the past decade, except for the young mistress and servants like them, the young master had basically not seen any other outsiders, let alone friends.

How come a friend suddenly came to visit me today, and came so late at night? This seems impolite.

How could the old servant dare to interfere in Liu Xu's affairs? No matter how many doubts he had in his mind, he could only put them aside and follow Liu Xu's instructions to make preparations, deliver all the food and drinks to the attic, and let the servants leave.

It was not until nightfall that the servants, who had been busy all day, found time to rest. They lay on the ground, looked at the bright stars in the sky, and chatted about the many trivial things around them. It was a period of leisure.

It was not until they saw a sudden bright fire explode in the sky, followed by a violent distortion, and finally a meteor falling on the hills outside the city that they all exclaimed that they were really having fun.

This matter was just a joke in the eyes of ordinary people, but it made many nobles unable to sleep again. For example, Emperor Ronggu, who was about to sign the contract tomorrow, stared straight at the place where the fall was allowed just now, and said with an irritated face, "Damn it, how come another world master broke in? They really don't take me seriously!"

“Don’t worry, Heavenly Emperor. They are just guys sent by other worlds to cause trouble. At least dozens of such people have come these days, but it’s nothing serious.” Next to the Heavenly Emperor Ronggu, a short man with an extraordinary aura, like a diving turtle, said, “As long as I am here, no one can hinder the great cause between our two worlds!”

"After the contract is signed, I will naturally protect you and let you sit safely on the position of the Lord of this Great Heavenly World!"

"In that case, I'll have to trouble the Lord of the Five-foot World!" Upon hearing this, Emperor Ronggu smiled rarely, and said respectfully to the Lord of the Five-foot World standing beside him.

That’s right, this short guy is the dignified Lord of the Five-foot World, known as the strongest Lord of the Zhongtian World.

However, it is normal for him to appear here. After all, if a contract of the Void Contract level is to be signed between the two worlds, it must be signed by the two world masters in person. The Five-foot World Master must appear, otherwise the contract cannot be signed.

However, no matter how strong this Five-foot World Lord is, he is still just a Middle Heaven World Lord. And even if Ronggu Tiandi is weak, he is now a Great Heaven World Lord.

As the Lord of the Great Heaven World, he was so respectful to the Lord of the Middle Heaven World and even flattered him. Emperor Rong Gu had completely disgraced the Lord of the Great Heaven World.
