“Urk, but Supre Xiaoyao shook her head at him “Supre like that, honest”

“Your Majesty is certain?” Elder Li asked

Shadowgale was looking at Ning Xiaoyao as well Are you sure about that?

Ning Xiaoyao nodded without hestitation “Mh of evil tricks up his sleeve, he’ll never be soeezer Xie, ah

Elder Li thought over her words carefully If it wasn’t Lou Zigui, then was it someone else that hated Xie Wenyuan? His son’s severely injured while his daughter and son-in-law’s fae, not one of the capital’s refugees will survive All of their lives depend on a single thought in Xie Wenyuan’s head His disposition is too cold and sinister

“If Xie Anshi+ hadn’t killed people, the refugees wouldn’t have gotten angry, either,” Ning Xiaoyao spoke up for the crowd “Old gra sorry for the Tao Clan’s children, are you saying those refugee children deserved to die instead?”

“Your Majesty!”

“First he murdered people, then he went to visit his older sister’s house like nothing ever happened,” Ning Xiaoyao added “That Xie Anshi+ didn’t treat refugee lives like anything at all I don’t care what you think, old gramps, but I don’t pity him a bit As for Tao Chen—you can blame Xie Anshi+ for that”

Elder Li said, “Supre”

“It’s not like Supre, so why should he help that bastard?” Ning Xiaoyao arched an eyebrow “Old gramps, I just realized, but you’re here to stir up trouble for Supreme Commander, aren’t you?”

“Dare I ask Your Majesty in which place have I erred?” Elder Li countered

“You haven’t even toppled the Grand Preceptor yet, but you’re now setting your sights on Supre Xiaoyao asked “Aren’t you just shooting your cannons all over the ramps, why does it feel like he’s everyone’s enemy?

Elder Li stared at Ning Xiaoyao for a long ti your cannons all over the map?’”

“Let’s talk about that another ti Xiaoyao said “Supreme Commander’s not a villain, oi”

Lou Zigui silently walked away from his position by the door Shadowthunder exhaled in relief when he saw theXiaoyao glanced at the closed study door and wondered whether Supre how Elder Li suspected his character (Author: Why don’t you worry about yourself instead…)

Elder Li didn’t have enhanced hearing like Ning Xiaoyao, so he never knew Lou Zigui had co their conversation Instead he asked, “Your Majesty, ould the Xie Clan’s titles and deeds be in your hands?”

“The Old Mada Xiaoyao said confidently

Elder Li shook his head “Your Majesty, Old Madame Xie was suddenly assassinated How could soacy for her descendents?”

“Ah?” Ning Xiaoyao had an inkling that things were getting coain

“If she didn’t know she was going to die,” Elder Li explained, “How could she kno to arrange her inheritance matters?”

Ning Xiaoyao said, “A-aren’t these things prepared ahead of time?”

“Your Majesty is in the palace,” Elder Li said, “So when did Old Madaements?”

Ning Xiaoyao scratched her pal up?

Shadowgale spoke up and said, “Elder, are you doubting His Majesty?”

“Iale “Since when have the Dragon Guards earned the right to n and his officials?”

Shadowgale was rendered mute by Elder Li’s words

“Aiyo,” Ning Xiaoyao said “Is it really that big of a deal?”

Elder Li stood up to kneel at Ning Xiaoyao’s feet, before proclai loudly, “Your Majesty, these are established custouard duties How could the two of them mix?”

Oh God

Ning Xiaoyao clutched her head Can I quit being the e about why people can’t talk!

“Your Majesty,” Elder Li wanted to continue

“Stop talking already, I’ Xiaoyao cut in “Just spare et up first”

Elder Li rose to his feet “Did Your Majesty claim them for yourself?”

“No, I really didn’t,” Ning Xiaoyao began to tell Elder Li about the pickled vegetable jars Finally, she finished and said, “Old graive the them for myself?”

“……” said Elder Li

“That there,” Ning Xiaoyao picked up a title deed for land off a table and waved it in Elder Li’s face “The land’s already in our hands Old gra soees from the capital you can move over there”

Elder Li stared at the deed in Ning Xiaoyao’s hands, still too speechless to talk How can this be? The fires in the western part of the capital, the insurrection of the refugees, the exter as a huhable reason?!

Ning Xiaoyao stared at Elder Li, as neitherDid I talk so much that he doesn’t want to continue the conversation anymore?
