839 Buddy, Please Listen To Me! (1/2)

All of a sudden, Lord Zeng was stunned on the spot. He was so surprised that he could only stare at Xu Que speechlessly. He never expected Xu Que's personal enemy would be one of the most powerful cultivators in the Xuanzhen Continent. Although he was also one of them, he didn't want to do anything against him, because the more powerful people were, the more cowardly they would be. Without profound hatred, people at the summit wouldn't fight each other.

After all, they were only one step away from becoming a celestial. A fierce combat would only cause destruction to both sides. Their personal enemies might attack them by using this as an opportunity. Therefore, it was really unnecessary to fight. However, Lord Zeng had promised to fight for Xu Que. It was too late for him to go back on his word now. So, he was trapped in a dilemma.

”Let's talk about this in the pagoda!” Lord Zeng said seriously. He waved his hand as he walked inside the pagoda, holding the little Princess by the arm. Xu Que smiled and also walked toward the entrance of the pagoda after winking at Jiang Hongyan in the crowd.

When he entered the pagoda, dozens of warrior monks sealed the entrance directly to prevent others from getting close. At this time, Lord Zeng said with an embarrassed smile, ”My young friend, are…you kidding me?” He looked at Xu Que with the last bubble of hope. He surely hoped that what Xu Que said was really a joke.

Xu Que smiled and said, clapping his hands immediately, ”Hah-hah-hah, awesome! Lord Zeng, you are really smart! Right, I was kidding just now! Actually, I want everything in his vault, and you can't get 10 percent!”

Crap!

Lord Zeng's lips twitched. He was so angry that he was about to spit blood! When he heard the first half of Xu Que's words, he let out a sigh of relief. However, when he heard the second half of Xu Que's words, he inhaled the sigh he had just let out, which almost choked him.

I am talking about the Emperor with you! Nobody wants to talk about his vault!

”My young friend, this is never a laughing matter. The Emperor is as powerful as I am. Also…his daughter is the Empress, who has performed secluded cultivation for several hundred years. How could she be your wife?” Lord Zeng chose to send a message cautiously for he worried someone would hear their conversation.

”Performed secluded cultivation for several hundred years? Heh-heh, what I will say next might startle you!” Xu Que sneered as he turned around to walk toward the entrance. When he walked out of the entrance, he waved his hand at Jiang Hongyan in the crowd, ”My dear, please come here. Lord Zeng said he has a welcome gift for you!”

Holy crap!

Lord Zeng's eyes widened. When did I say I that?

Just now you ripped off a Celestial Concealment Herb from me. Now you are going to get more from me?

The next moment, when Jiang Hongyan stepped out gracefully from the crowd, Lord Zeng was stunned. At this time, Jiang Hongyan's face was still covered by the Human-skinned Mask. When she walked to the entrance of the pagoda, turning her back to the crowd, she took off the mask and showed her real face.

”Lord Zeng, long time, no see!” Jiang Hongyan said with a faint smile. She was so elegant, graceful, and majestic. Her innate royal temperament let the sovereign shine out. Lord Zeng was dumbfounded.

Many years ago, he used to meet the Empress once in a while. So he knew the lady in front of him was the Empress, whose appearance and temperament had never changed. The only thing that surprised him was that the Empress was not as powerful as she had been before. She was just at Level 3 of the Crossing Calamity Stage now.

”I greet you, Holy Senior!” Lord Zeng bowed to Jiang Hongyan symbolically, with a wry smile on his face.

Actually, he didn't need to obey the rule of the Tong Tian Nation of giving a salute to the Emperor or the Empress. In order to show due respect to Xu Que, Lord Zeng still did that to Jiang Hongyan.

”So, now you believe what I said, right? Alas, Senior Zeng, we are so close now, why do you always doubt what I say? Look at this handsome face. Do I look like a liar?” Xu Que said as he patted his face.
