C5 (1/2)

Four fallen guards stood up, and the other four guards also stood up and joined the battle. The eight of them lined up in a row, their palms were moving, and just as they were about to attack Bu Batian at the same time.

Stop!” With a shout, he stopped the attacks of the imperial guards in time. Looking towards the direction of the voice, there was a young man holding a jade talisman. The jade talisman was as transparent as a divine object, and on top of it was an emerald colored transparent spiritual bead. ”His face was pale, his body was long, and his handsome face gave off a sickly look of weakness. However, his ethereal eyes were mysterious and intimidating. His lips curled up in a sinister sneer.

In particular, the mysteriousness of the jade token was even more intimidating.

When the imperial guards saw the newcomer, their expressions became extremely respectful. They obediently stood to the side and put down their sabers.

”Hur Hur Hur!” That person walked over slowly while sneering. Although he was smiling, there was no trace of a smile on his pale face, making people's hair stand on end.

”Every step you take is amazing!” This Bai has really broadened my horizons today! ” That person walked up to Bu Batian and stopped right in front of him. His cold voice was filled with praise.

”Bai Ling? What are you doing here? ” When Bu Batian saw this person, his expression became even more serious. However, his powerful voice did not weaken in the slightest and remained as domineering as before.

Bai Ling was indeed just like her name. She was a white ghost. Bu Jinghua thought to himself. Who knew that he would attract Bai Ling's attention? His eyes swept across Bu Jinghua. It was as if a mysterious force had swept over her, causing people to panic.

Bai Ling smiled coldly. She did not answer Bu Batian's words. Instead, she turned her gaze towards the imperial guards.

”A bunch of useless bums!” ”The emperor wants you to invite old man Bu and Miss Bu back. Is there a need for you two to invite them back like this?” His voice was cold as he reprimanded.

The imperial guards all knelt down with their heads hanging down, looking as if they had committed a grave mistake.

”This subordinate knows his crimes, please punish him!” Such training was much better than the guards on television.

”Master Bu, Miss Bu, please!” Ignoring the imperial guards, Bai Ling spoke to Bu Batian and Bu Jinghua.

Bu Batian looked at the man in front of him. His eyes, which were filled with experience, darkened as he walked toward Bu Jinghua and pulled his hand, saying, ”Jinghua, let's go. Grandfather will take you to the Stone Palace!” After he finished speaking, he pulled Bu Jinghua to the front.

Behind him followed Hundred Spirit and the ten Royal Guards.

After this battle, Bu Jinghua understood even more clearly that as long as his grandfather was around, she was safe.

Along the way, there were many people who were pointing fingers at Bu Jinghua and talking about it. They secretly looked at their grandpa's face with the same calm expression. However, his slightly twitching mouth revealed that Bu Jinghua was angry. Sensing the gaze, Bu Batian turned to look at Bu Jinghua.

Bu Jinghua glanced back at her. There was not a single trace of cowardice in her gaze. She had never done anything before, so why should she be afraid? Even if she did do it, it would not be her turn to be blamed.

Bu Jinghua seemed a little surprised when he saw the calmness on Bu Jinghua's face. However, soon after, his intense anger disappeared and was replaced with a faint smile.

After following Bai Ling, they soon entered the stone palace, which was where the emperor lived. The splendor of this palace could even be compared to the Bu Clan. Even though the Bu Clan was as wealthy as an entire country, they were still inferior in terms of construction compared to the Cliff Palace.

There were many buildings and gardens in the Cliff Palace, especially the long corridors, which were close to the mountain and the river. It was quite interesting.

Right at that moment, a football-like object flew over in front of Bu Jinghua. Just as Bu Jinghua was about to dodge, he saw Bai Ling gently raise the jade talisman in her hand. With just a slight touch, the ball fell down like a soft persimmon.

”Yo, so it actually flew here. I'm really afraid of being startled by it, okay!” A blue-clothed youth ran out and picked up the ball on the ground. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Bu Jinghua and the others with a surprised expression, ”Oh, so it's the Imperial Advisor! It's you, hmph, Fourth Bro is in such a miserable state. Fourth Bro is already like that, and you still dare to do that kind of thing to him? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? But now, not only do you have nightmares, you're also afraid of women. Hmph, I really don't know how you mistreated him, you shameless woman, I will avenge Fourth Brother! ” As he said this, his eyes turned red. He raised the ball in his hand and aimed it at Bu Jinghua's face, as if he was about to smash Bu Jinghua to death.

”Seventh Prince, the Emperor has made his own decision regarding this matter. Seventh Prince, please don't mess around!” Bai Ling coldly said. The Seventh Prince immediately stopped and cursed. He threw the ball to the ground and walked away.

He was the youngest prince, the emperor didn't have a daughter, only seven princes. The eldest prince, who was the crown prince, had mysteriously died and the position of crown prince was now empty.

Staring at that furious back, Bu Jinghua was puzzled. Why didn't they make her understand them at all? ”It was as if she had violated a very poor human being.” ”That?” What is it? She didn't notice anything strange about that man even when she was inside the stone house. She was a good person, good-looking and intelligent, but apart from crying at the sight of the empress, she felt everything about him was normal. For some reason, the one who suffered was her, alright? Why did everyone feel pity for that stinking man who abandoned her to face the punishment alone after picking up a bargain?

Fourth Prince? Longyan, I heard he's a fool. I heard he was disfigured. Of course, everything was just hearsay. Even the former Bu Jinghua hadn't seen Long Yan once. Long Yan rarely went out, and even if he did, it would be very secret. Therefore, this was the first time Bu Jinghua saw Long Yan in the stone house. However, she didn't think he was ugly or silly!

Just as Bu Jinghua was about to roar out in anger, Bai Ling's ”please” echoed her doubts and they continued onward.

In a short while, they arrived at the emperor's meeting room, Golden Rock Hall. The pillars of such a large palace were actually amethyst profound stones which were similar to crystals.

Right in front of the crystal clear table opposite the palace entrance sat a middle-aged man who was faking sleep. The man's left hand rested on the leather book on the table, while his right hand rested on his cheek, as if he was sleeping.

The middle-aged man wore a golden embroidered dragon robe and a golden dragon crown. He gave off a sacred and inviolable aura. Needless to say, this person should be the emperor.

Just as Bu Jinghua was thinking about this, Bai Ling called out, ”Your majesty, the person has been brought over! ”Your Majesty …” Bai Ling called out again. The person who was sleeping was alarmed and raised his head slowly. He looked to be in a bad mood.

”This commoner pays his respects to the Emperor!” Bu Batian cupped his hands and bowed. He did not kneel down like the others; it was evident that he was of extraordinary status.

”Hahaha, Master Bu, please get up!” The emperor came over with a welcoming look.
