Chapter 187 - Be Reasonable (2/2)

“Bai Ti is not in the palace. Even Ji Zhe doesn’t know where he has gone to. So, it’s best that we stay here.”

“Whose Ji Zhe?”

“Exalted Goddess…” Chu Xuan’s mouth twitched. Pointing at her feet, he said, “The one you’re stepping now on is Emperor Ji Zhe from the Chang Nuo continent.”

Weren’t you the one who caught him from the neighboring continent and beat him up after learning from the immortal officials that Bai Ti might have gone to look for Emperor Ji Zhe? Don’t give the excuse you can’t remember him just because you haven’t given him a nickname.

“Oh.” Shen Ying removed her leg and sat down lazily on top of a stone.

Hai… How long more did she have to wait?

She was hungry.

——————

A day later.

In the rear hall of Invincible Sect.

Smoke rose slowly from the stove in the back kitchen. The wooden table at the inner courtyard was covered with plates of delicious smelling food. Surprisingly, Shen Ying was the only one sitting at the table today. She was busily demolishing the food.

There were a dozen people more in the inner courtyard, four of them were sitting on the wooden bench, their positions erect and their hands placed primly on their laps.

These were the four celestial emperors.

None of them spoke, the whole courtyard was filled with the munching sounds.

Bai Ti: “…”This is really scary. That sword cultivator who beat me up is carving meat. This must be a threat of some kind.

Ji Zhe: “…” “This is really scary. That exalted goddess who beat me up is eating meat. Is this a threat?

Wu Hong: “This is really scary. Exalted Goddess looks likes she’s still hungry. I hope she’s not thinking of eating me?

Chu Xuan: “…” This is really scary. Wait a moment… Why should he be scared?

“Chu Xuan! Why are you sitting there?” Lonemoon glared at Chu Xuan, who was sitting at the leftmost corner.

Chu Xuan paused to think of a reason. That’s right. He had not done anything wrong why should he sit there?

Σ(°△°|||)

Shit! He had been so used to doing sitting as equals with the ten celestial emperors that he had sat down reflexively.

Chu Xuan sat up immediately and stood beside Lonemoon. He picked up the white fox in passing and tossed it on the bench.

“Jiao…” Bai Ti looked pained and was about to reach out his hands to hug the fox. However, he thought the better of it and sat back down.

“Tell me. How do the four of you intend to resolve this matter?” Lonemoon rolled his eyes and gave Shen Ying a push. “We’re dealing with a serious matter here! Sit over there. Don’t get in the way.”

Taken aback, Shen Ying got up but she found that all the other chairs had already been moved to the defendants’ side. There were no chairs at the side.

“Exalted Goddess, I have a chair here!” Chu Xuan’s eyes brightened. He reached into his storage bag, he fished out a chair and told Shen Ying, “Please take a seat.”

“Thank you” Shen Ying sat down and resumed eating without a care.

Yi Qing, who had intended to move a chair over: “…” The little bugger!

Chu Xuan: Huh! Why did he feel a cold draft on his back?

“Exalted Immortal! Fellow Immortals, this is a misunderstanding!” Ji Zhe, who was the most badly beaten up among the group, exclaimed, “Bai Jiao is Emperor Bai Ti’s only daughter. Because she had missing for a long time, Emperor Bai went to look for her. I happened to meet him along the way. I don’t know him well at all!”

Bai Ti: “…” The spineless rascal!

Glaring at Ji Zhe, Bai Ti cupped his fists in apology. “It was indeed my fault! I saw you carrying Jiao Jiao and she was injured. So I thought you…. In a moment of panic, I attacked you. By the time I realized my mistake, you were already inside the immortal artifact. That was why… Now that it has come to this, I’ll accept whatever you have in store for me.” The main thing was he could not defeat them!

“Me too, Exalted…. Exalted Goddess!” Ji Zhe expressed his stand immediately. As long as he was not beaten to death, he was even willing to give up his throne!

Wu Hong: “I…” Looking at the other two defendants, he subconsciously raised his hands. “But I… I didn’t do anything!”

(゚Д゚≡゚Д゚)

“If Fellow Immortal agrees to release me and my daughter, we from Bai Zhao will be able to do it all!”

“I don’t want to leave!” Before he could finish his sentence, the fox demon beside him suddenly spoke up.
