Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Your father-in-law no longer had the cheerful and amiable expression in the past, but his expression was extremely serious.

Your father-in-law has a slightly rich figure, a beardless face, and a pale complexion. At this moment, his stern face makes him look even more eerie.

In the main hall.

Lin Bai stepped in and immediately felt something was wrong when he saw your father-in-law's face. He turned back and glanced at his ancestor Pan Qing and the other elders of the Tianshui Sect, and saw that they were also frightened by your father-in-law's face and dared not speak.

As a close attendant in front of Emperor Chu, his words, deeds and expressions naturally represent Emperor Chu.

It can be seen from your father-in-law's face... I am afraid that Emperor Chu's edict came from an evil person.

"Your father-in-law." After Lin Bai walked into the main hall, he hurriedly bowed his hands to your father-in-law.

The noble father-in-law nodded slightly and immediately said: "The Lord Wolf accepted the order, Your Majesty has an order... If Lord Wolf wears a mask and defeats the warriors of the Northern Territory and promotes the reputation of the warriors of the Eastern Territory, but if Lord Wolf is unfortunately defeated, Your Majesty will still punish crimes!"

"This is His Majesty's decree."

"Do you understand, Mr. Wolf Marquis?"

Your father-in-law asked coldly.

Um? What does this mean? ... Emperor Chu's sudden edict made Lin Bai confused.

I have no idea what kind of sarcasm is contained in this edict.

"I understand." Although he still didn't understand, Lin Bai still wanted to follow the edict.

After the edict was read out, a smile appeared on the corner of the noble father-in-law's mouth, "Mr. Wolf Marquis, Your Majesty is angry this time. Recently, Marquis Wolf has been keeping a low profile, but you must not cause trouble for Your Majesty again."

"Thank you for reminding me, father-in-law." After reading the edict, your father-in-law seemed to be a different person.

This made Lin Bai understand that the look just now was that your father-in-law deliberately acted like Emperor Chu was angry, specifically for Lin Bai and Tianshui Sect to see.

Lin Bai asked again, "May I ask my father-in-law...what is your Majesty so angry about?"

Your father-in-law said with a smile: "I don't know about this old slave, but... Mr. Langhou can think carefully about where he has been in the past few days? Who has he met? What kind of things have he talked about without seeing anyone?"

Where did you go? Who did you meet? What shameful things were discussed? ... Lin Bai's heart immediately sank.

He had already thought of it.

It must be because of Princess Qingyue.

Lin Bai smiled bitterly... It seems that Emperor Chu already knew that Princess Qingyue asked him to investigate Huang Xuan.

"It seems that Mr. Langhou has already made a guess in his heart, so the old slave will take his leave." Your father-in-law stood up and left.

Ancestor Pan Qing sent your father-in-law to the door. At the same time, he took out some good gifts and inquired about some information.

Not long after.

The ancestor Pan Qing came back with a gloomy face and said to Lin Bai: "Did you see your father-in-law's face just now? That was the face of Emperor Chu."

"Holy Son, what have you done in the past few days to make His Majesty so angry?"

Lin Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly, "It's not because of meeting Princess Qingyue."

Princess Qingyue... Ancestor Pan Qing seemed to understand something.

Before Lin Bai went to see Princess Qingyue, Lin Bai also inquired about Princess Qingyue from his ancestor Pan Qing.

Pan Qing also belonged to the era ten thousand years ago, and he was one of the few geniuses in the Chu Kingdom at that time. He was also an old acquaintance with Emperor Chu and Princess Qingyue.

He also heard about things that happened thousands of years ago.

"Princess Qingyue asked me to investigate a warrior named Huang Xuan." Lin Bai informed his ancestor Pan Qing about the matter.

"You agreed?" Ancestor Pan Qing's expression changed drastically and he asked hurriedly.

Lin Bai shrugged helplessly, "Do I dare to refuse?"

Lin Bai did not mention the deal between him and Princess Qingyue, but directly stated that he could not refuse.

"That's right, the eldest princess Qingyue has a very bad temper. If you dare to refuse, I'm afraid she won't be able to spare you." Ancestor Pan Qing also knew the eldest princess's temper very well, so he smiled bitterly.

"I really didn't expect that she would still be so concerned about this person?"

"Why."

Ancestor Pan Qing sighed secretly, looking slightly lonely.

Lin Bai smiled and asked: "Ancestor, do you also have a secret love for the eldest princess?"

"This, this, this, this..." Ancestor Pan Qing immediately panicked, "Don't talk nonsense, or I will sue you for slander."

"I just asked casually, ancestor, don't be so nervous." Lin Bai smiled.

Ancestor Pan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "The eldest princess was the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital back then. I don't know how many young talents fell under her pomegranate skirt."

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Well, I have met the eldest princess. Although tens of thousands of years have passed, time has never failed her beauty."

"The ancestor will bow down under her pomegranate skirt, and there is no shame at all."

"That's..." Ancestor Pan Qing smiled, but suddenly said with a straight face, "Holy Son, please don't talk nonsense. Princess Qingyue and I are close friends, and we have no other ideas."

Lin Bai didn't want to talk nonsense with ancestor Pan Qing anymore, so he asked: "What does ancestor know about Huang Xuan?"

Ancestor Pan Qing's face immediately fell, "Holy Son, I advise you not to pursue this matter anymore."

"Don't you feel it? Your Majesty became angry just after you came out of Princess Qingyue's mansion."

"If you continue to pursue the case, His Majesty will not let you go easily."

Lin Bai frowned, and the thoughts in his mind turned around, "So... Huang Xuan's death really has something to do with His Majesty?"

Ancestor Pan Qing's pupils shrank, "I didn't say that, but...there are rumors like this in the imperial capital."

He continued: "It is said that Huang Xuan and Princess Qingyue got too close back then, and Emperor Chu had just ascended the throne and wanted Princess Qingyue to marry the then Holy Son of the Celestial Immortal Sect."

"So I tried to find a way to get rid of Huang Xuan, put a hat on Huang Xuan as a 'remnant of the Nine Nether Demon Palace', and executed Huang Xuan."

"After Huang Xuan died, Emperor Chu did not even spare his family and friends, and executed them all."

Ancestor Pan Qing shook his head repeatedly, "It was also because Emperor Chu was too ruthless that the brother and sister, Princess Qingyue and Emperor Chu, broke up on the spot."

"Princess Qingyue has closed the door of her palace and no longer interferes with human affairs."

"It's been ten thousand years, but I didn't expect that the eldest princess's anger has not gone away."

Ancestor Pan Qing added: "Ten thousand years ago, Emperor Chu had just ascended the throne and was in his prime. It was the time to show off his power, so his policies were all vigorous and decisive."

"So in dealing with certain things, it was indeed a bit extreme, which made Princess Qingyue particularly dissatisfied."

After finishing speaking, he advised Lin Bai, "It's best not to continue investigating this matter, so as not to displease Emperor Chu."

Lin Bai knew what ancestor Pan Qing was worried about.

The Tianshui Sect has been suppressed by the Chu royal family for a hundred thousand years, and it's finally time to take a breather.

If Emperor Chu was offended and suppressed again because of this incident, it would probably be difficult for the Tianshui Sect to stand up again.
