After learning about the situation of the Moonless Empire from Chu Wuming, as well as many secrets of the Imperial Family, Xiao Chen was silent for a while. He already had a plan in his heart, but he still needed to discuss it with the Burning Sky Ruler. Therefore, after a while, Xiao Chen looked at Chu Wuming, his expression also very sincere.
"Xiao Chen thanks Your Highness for your kindness, and I am grateful to the point of tears. To be honest, Xiao Chen and my uncle have depended on each other for survival since childhood. Along the way, we have also met many people of the same path. Everyone has been traveling the four seas. After so many years, my uncle is also quite tired, so this time, we have settled down in Moon Trace City. We plan to live here in seclusion and live a carefree life."
"Originally, Your Highness loved Xiao Chen so much, so Xiao Chen should not refuse. However, this matter is too important. I hope Your Highness can give Xiao Chen some time to return and discuss it with my uncle."
Without batting an eyelid, he told Chu Wuming about the situation of the Heavenly Stellar Residence. From Xiao Chen's words, the Heavenly Stellar Residence was formed by a group of wandering cultivators.
Originally, Chu Wuming was very interested in the Heavenly Stellar Residence. Now, after hearing Xiao Chen's words, he understood. No wonder he had never heard of the Heavenly Stellar Residence before. It was formed by a group of wandering cultivators from other places.
On the Tianhe Continent, there were many wandering cultivators, and among them, there were many who considered the four seas their home. Thus, the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Stellar Residence was not surprising.
Smiling slightly at Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming said, "Brother Xiao Chen is right. I have been rude. Tomorrow, I will personally go to the Heavenly Stellar Residence. Tonight, Brother Xiao Chen can discuss it with my uncle in advance."
"Many thanks, Your Highness." Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen smiled and said.
"Alright, let's not talk about these troublesome matters. Today is the first time I have met Brother Xiao Chen. You and I must get drunk." Chu Wuming stopped talking about these things and took the initiative to change the topic. He raised the wine cup in his hand and drank with Xiao Chen.
While Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming were drinking to their hearts' content, Wu Yun and Wu De were sitting opposite each other in a pavilion within the Illusory Moon Pavilion. Looking at her brother, Wu Yun's expression was extremely ugly. Under her interrogation, Wu De had finally told the truth.
She already knew how Wu De became enemies with Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen didn't bully people at all. On the contrary, Wu De's actions were worse than pigs and dogs.
With a slap, Wu Yun ruthlessly slapped Wu De's face. This was the first time Wu Yun had slapped Wu De since they were young. Her eyes were filled with anger as she coldly shouted.
"You are simply a beast. It seems that in the years that I wasn't at home, you have become lawless."
Hearing Wu Yun's angry scolding, Wu De didn't dare to retort. He could tell that his sister was really angry. At the same time, Xiao Chen and the Third Prince, Chu Wuming, were having a long talk in the pavilion. Wu De also realized that the situation was developing in a direction that he didn't dare to imagine.
From Wu Yun's words, Wu De already knew how important Chu Wuming was to Xiao Chen. If Chu Wuming wanted to, let alone himself, the entire Wu Family would suffer.
Using the entire Wu Family to curry favor with Xiao Chen was definitely impossible for others. However, for Chu Wuming, it was just a matter of a few words. If Chu Wuming really thought that Xiao Chen was his good steed, then he really might do such a thing. Using the entire Wu Family to curry favor with Xiao Chen.
Lowering his head, Wu De didn't dare to look at his sister. After a round of angry scolding, Wu Yun gradually calmed down. She helplessly sighed and said.
"I'm afraid that even your sister won't be able to save you."
Hearing Wu Yun's words, Wu De immediately panicked. If even his sister couldn't do anything, then wouldn't he be dead for sure?
Hurriedly crawling in front of Wu Yun, Wu De's face was filled with grief as he cried and begged. Seeing this, Wu Yun bitterly said.
"Sigh, now that things have come to this, whether or not I can live now depends on Your Highness and Xiao Chen. Your sister can only do her best. However, even if I can keep my life in the end, it will definitely be difficult for me to escape punishment. Prepare yourself."
Wu Yun didn't have too much confidence. However, she couldn't just watch as Wu De was killed. After all, he was her only brother. Right now, everything could only depend on Chu Wuming and Xiao Chen.
It was unknown what Wu Yun and Wu De were talking about. They chatted with Chu Wuming until night fell. Only then did Xiao Chen walk out of the loft accompanied by Chu Wuming.
However, just as Xiao Chen and Wu De walked out of the loft, they immediately saw Wu Yun and Wu De kneeling outside the door.
Seeing Chu Wuming and Xiao Chen, the maid from before hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Miss Wu has been kneeling here since two hours ago. This subordinate asked Miss Wu why she was kneeling here, but Miss Wu didn't say anything. She only said that she was waiting for Xiao Chen."
Hearing that Wu Yun was waiting for Xiao Chen here, Chu Wuming immediately understood Wu Yun's intentions. He didn't say anything and looked at Xiao Chen.
Since Chu Wuming knew Wu Yun's intentions, Xiao Chen naturally knew as well. He looked at Wu De with a trace of mockery in his eyes and said, "Isn't this the Wu Family's eldest young master, Wu De? What, why are you kneeling here? "
"Young master Xiao Chen, I already know what Wu De has done. I've specially brought him here to ask for forgiveness from Xiao Chen. These years, because my daughter wasn't in Moon Trace City, Wu De's actions have indeed caused the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people. Today, Wu De's life is entirely up to Young master Xiao Chen." Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Wu De didn't reply. Instead, it was Wu Yun who spoke.
She had specially brought Wu De here to ask for forgiveness. Moreover, whether he was to be killed or tortured, it was entirely up to Xiao Chen to decide. Smiling slightly, Xiao Chen couldn't help but take a few more glances at Wu Yun. This woman's appearance wasn't bad. Although she couldn't be compared to Qin Shuirou and Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, she could still be considered a beauty. Moreover, compared to her beauty, Wu Yun's intelligence wasn't the slightest bit inferior. She had advanced in order to retreat and brought Wu De here for him to decide. Very smart. This was indeed the only way to save Wu De. Otherwise, as long as Xiao Chen wanted to, Wu De would definitely die. Moreover, he didn't even need to do it himself.
As Chu Wuming's woman, Wu Yun was currently kneeling in front of Xiao Chen. Regarding this, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't make things too ugly. After having the servant girl by the side help Wu Yun up, Xiao Chen indifferently said.
"Miss Wu Yun's words are true? Wu De's life is entirely up to me to decide? "
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Wu Yun was stunned at first. However, she quickly gritted her teeth and replied, "It's all up to Young Master."
Facing Xiao Chen, Wu Yun could feel a great pressure. This pressure was even greater than that of Chu Wuming. She completely didn't know what Xiao Chen was thinking. She was afraid that Xiao Chen would really give the order to kill Wu De.
Although she was worried in her heart, Xiao Chen quickly gave an answer. He looked at Wu De and calmly said.
"Actually, I don't care about your life or death. However, since Miss Wu is kneeling on the ground for you, then I will give you a chance. Apologize to all the people you have persecuted over the years and give them sufficient compensation. In addition, you must obtain their forgiveness. Remember, all the people you have persecuted must forgive you. As long as there is one person who doesn't forgive you, then you can kill yourself."
