551 Seeing Ji Yeyue Again (2/2)

The two of them remained silent after they finished speaking.

”Oh, Yeyue, you're here. I've been looking for you for a good while!” An untimely voice came suddenly right at the moment when the two were silent. Zhou Bao frowned slightly, however, Ji Yeyue's face spoke of a wry smile.

”What are you doing here?”

”I'm here to look for you. I haven't seen you for a good while!” The newcomer burst out laughing. ”You're King Wuyang Zhou Bao, right? You really enjoy a well-deserved reputation, for actually defeating Senior Grand Tutor Hong and being the son-in-law of the candidate for the Human Emperor. Without your help, your father-in-law couldn't have taken the throne. I guess the Seven-deity Regions will certainly be your world after some time too. Congratulations!”

The newcomer spoke these words out in a loud voice. And naturally, his voice spread to the Human Emperor Palace under their feet. At this moment, Yan Yuntian was holding a banquet to treat the people from the five biggest sects. Although he had just taken the throne there, he had been the emperor of the Jin dynasty in the secular world for so many years and thus was able to handle these matters smoothly, without investing the least effort in it. 10 days were enough for him to keep the Human Emperor Palace in order and control it.

Now, he was in high spirits. But never had he expected that such an untimely voice would ring out above his head when he was happily drinking wine.

What does it mean by saying that without his son-in-law's help, he couldn't have taken the throne?

Although these words were close to the truth, whoever heard it would still feel uncomfortable. Other words, for example, ”The Seven-deity Regions will certainly be your world after some time.” were unpleasant to the ear as well. The Seven-deity Regions were the worlds and also the private possessions of the five biggest sects, and this was known to all the people coming to attend the coronation. Under the circumstance that all the suzerains of the five biggest sects were present, these words evidently had already offended the sensibilities of the five biggest sects.

What would the five suzerains think since you had spoken so highly of Zhou Bao?

Therefore, just as these words were heard by the people in the palace, the noisy Human Emperor Palace unexpectedly came to an awkward silence.

”What a nuisance!”

The awkward atmosphere vanished shortly after. All the people present were extremely shrewd and deep. As they realized that the atmosphere there was not quite right, those who were skillful at breaking the ice were going to say something to ease the tension. Right at this moment, they heard a loud bang and saw a human figure fell from the sky, breaking the roof.

”Who brought this guy here? How ignorant he is! How dare he say anything he likes and blatantly alienate me from the five biggest sects? Heck!” Zhou Bao appeared in the palace almost at the same time as that guy did. He looked around with an icy cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

There came to a silence again.

After a good while, a voice with mixed feelings of shock and anger was heard from the crowd. ”Zhe-er!”

Just like a gust of wind, a human figure made its way through the crowd to the man lying on the ground. Noticing that he just fainted and was not in life-threatening danger, that figure felt relieved. Suddenly, she looked up and said, ”Zhou Bao, you've gone too far!”

Obviously, Zhou Bao stunned. It had never occurred to him that it would be a woman in fine clothes. However, Zhou Bao could not help but shiver while seeing her malicious eyes. ”Bad luck!” He thought to himself. But he would never yield an inch. He said, ”How have I gone too far? As long as you're not deaf, you should have heard what he just said. He uttered these words for fear that the world would not be in chaos, and he caused trouble intentionally. Moreover, he alienated me from the five biggest sects and the candidate for the Human Emperor. Shouldn't such a guy die? I spared his life because today is a red letter day. Otherwise, I would have trampled him to death!”

”Shut up!”

”Hold your tongue!”

The woman's voice was interrupted by another resonant voice before it had died away. ”Hurry up, carry this unfilial son out. Do you intentionally want to make me feel deeply ashamed of him?”

Zhou Bao took a glance at the speaker and was a little shocked because it was Yu Taixu, the lord of the Divine Wind Palace. ”Is this the son of Yu Taixu?”

Upon hearing Yu Taixu's words, the woman no longer dared to say a word. She immediately held the man called Zhe-er with her arms and then glanced at Zhou Bao maliciously. Without turning back, she helped the man out of the Human Emperor Palace and disappeared.

”This woman is somewhat troublesome!” Zhou Bao touched his nose gently and looked up at the big hole in the roof of the Human Emperor Palace, saying, ”Eh, everybody, I'm really sorry. I got a little excited just now and I'm here to beg your pardon!”

”There is nothing to pardon!” Everyone burst out laughing.

Blame him? You must be kidding! What difference would it make to blame him? They could not offend this guy, but they could hide from him. Were they really as stupid as Yu Nanzhe?

”I won't blame you, but since you've made a mess of my Human Emperor Palace, you're responsible for repairing it!” Sitting in the seat of honor, Yan Yuntian took a sip of wine and laughed.

”Okay, no problem. All the expenses are on me!” Zhou Bao laughed. He turned around and happened to meet Yu Taixu's eyes, deep and enigmatic.
