Xiaoning blinked and could tell that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little off. She tugged at Ji Yaoxue's hand and smiled. "Sister Yaoxue, why are you only back now? I missed you."
Ji Yaoxue rubbed Xiaoning's forehead and asked gently, "How was your stay at Azure Frost Elixir Workshop? Did anyone bully you?"
Su Xiaoning froze for a moment and dodged her gaze before smiling. "No, my senior brothers and sisters have been taking care of me."
"Hmm?"
Ji Yaoxue exclaimed softly.
Even though Xiaoning hid it well, she still noticed some clues.
Ji Yaoxue turned to Su Zimo and asked with a frown, "Zimo, what happened?"
"Nothing, Sister Yaoxue. Don't ask anymore," Su Xiaoning replied hurriedly.
Ji Yaoxue smiled indifferently. "Even if you and your brother don't tell me, who can hide the matters of the Great Zhou Dynasty from me if I want to know?"
"It's nothing much. There's a cultivator called Yang Yu in Azure Frost Elixir Workshop who has a grudge against you," Su Zimo did not elaborate further.
Back at Azure Frost Elixir Workshop, Su Zimo had already told Yang Yu that someone would deal with her.
"It's her?"
A cold glint flashed through Ji Yaoxue's eyes as her aura changed.
"I've already warned that Yang Yu not to provoke me!"
It was only at this moment that one could sense the unique might and killing intent of the royal family from Ji Yaoxue.
After all, the bloodline of the emperor flowed in her body – the emperor of Great Zhou who could kill a million people in a fit of rage!
Right then, a group of red dots flew over from the voids not far away at an extremely fast speed. By the looks of it, they were heading towards Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop.
Bai Yuhan frowned. "It's the Scarlet Vulture guards. Why are they here at this time?"
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he vaguely guessed something.
Before long, dozens of Scarlet Vulture guards arrived outside Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop. Their leader was bald without eyebrows – it was the commander of the Scarlet Vulture guards, Bald Vulture.
Bald Vulture rode on a Scarlet Vulture and cupped his fists expressionlessly. "The king has ordered for the third princess to return to the palace. In addition, the king is hosting a banquet at the Rain Admiration Pavilion and invites Mr. Mo to attend! "
Ji Yaoxue frowned.
She could see some problems in Vulture's eyes.
"Commander Vulture, did Imperial Father mention why he invited Mister Mo?" Ji Yaoxue stared into Vulture's eyes and asked loudly.
Vulture bowed slightly, avoiding Ji Yaoxue's gaze, and said, "I don't know."
Ji Yaoxue's heart sank.
She grew up in the palace and knew everything about it. She could sense a faint killing intent from Bald Vulture!
This murderous intent was definitely not directed at her.
It goes without saying who it was directed at!
"Don't go."
Ji Yaoxue turned around with a grim expression and shook her head at Su Zimo.
Su Zimo smiled indifferently.
Actually, he had expected this day to come.
More than a month ago, when he met Su Xiaoning in the capital, he had already guessed that given the emperor's intentions, he would find out about his true identity sooner or later.
Furthermore, there was no way he could hide his identity during the sect competition.
Su Zimo had never thought of hiding it either.
Now that the emperor was hosting a banquet and the Scarlet Vulture guards had appeared, it was basically certain that his identity was exposed.
This was clearly a Hongmen Banquet.
However, Su Zimo had no choice but to go.
This was the capital of Great Zhou and he had no other choice.
"I'll accompany you."
Ji Yaoxue also realized that even if Su Zimo refused to go, the Scarlet Vulture guards would forcefully bring him over.
At that time, the situation might be even worse.
"Stay here and wait for me to return. Don't worry."
Su Zimo turned around and instructed Nien Qi and Xiaoning before glancing at Night Spirit who was sprawled in a corner.
"Let's go."
Su Zimo, Ji Yaoxue and Bai Yuhan each sat on a Scarlet Vulture and sped towards the palace under Bald Vulture's lead.
A moment later, everyone arrived at the palace.
Flying was prohibited in the palace and everyone leaped down from the Scarlet Vultures.
Bald Vulture bowed. "Third princess, please return. I'll bring Mr. Mo to the banquet right away."
"I'll go too," Although Ji Yaoxue's tone was calm, it was unquestionable.
Bald Vulture frowned and said in a deep voice, "Third princess, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm only following orders."
"Oh?"
Ji Yaoxue asked indifferently, "Do you have a problem with me making things difficult for you?"
Bald Vulture's heart skipped a beat as he replied hurriedly, "I wouldn't dare."
Ji Yaoxue turned around with a sharp gaze and a domineering aura. She questioned, "Your orders are to bring Mr. Mo over. Does my following conflict with your mission?"
"This …" Bald Vulture was speechless.
In the palace of Great Zhou, Ji Yaoxue seemed to have turned into a different person, exuding the dominance and might unique to the royal family with a sharp edge!
Ji Yaoxue asked again, "I've just returned from Azure Frost Sect and haven't had a meal with father for a long time. Today, he's holding a banquet and I want to join him for a meal. Are you going to stop me?"
"I wouldn't dare."
Ji Yaoxue's three consecutive questions had Bald Vulture breaking out in cold sweat.
Ji Yaoxue waved it off. "Lead the way."
"Yes."
Bald Vulture hesitated for a moment and glared at Su Zimo with a dark gaze before lowering his head reluctantly.
Everyone headed towards the Rain Admiration Pavilion.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the Rain Admiration Pavilion.
On the small path between the pools, Imperial Army soldiers stood guard on both sides with cold expressions. They wielded long sabers and axes and exuded a faint stench of blood!
These were Imperial Army soldiers that had truly experienced the baptism of blood on the battlefield!
The Imperial Army soldiers were all at perfected Foundation Establishment and were even stronger than Su Zimo.
As for how many meridians they had unlocked, the Spirit Peering Art could not tell.
The other Scarlet Vulture guards remained outside. Su Zimo, Ji Yaoxue, Bald Vulture and Bai Yuhan passed through the Imperial Army and entered the Rain Admiration Pavilion.
The moment he entered, Su Zimo felt a murderous aura!
There was a circle of cultivators around the Rain Admiration Pavilion. All of them were at Jin Dan realm and they glared at Su Zimo expressionlessly with cold gazes.
In the middle of the Rain Admiration Pavilion, there was a table with plates of exquisite dishes that were still steaming.
On the seat facing the door sat an indescribably noble middle-aged man in the robes of the emperor. His forehead was broad and his gaze was deep. His expression was calm and one could not tell if he was happy or angry.
The Emperor of Great Zhou!
The emperor's gaze was fixed on Su Zimo's face for a long time, as though he was scrutinizing and trying to figure out who this green-robed scholar before him was.
The emperor's gaze was sharp as a knife. Coupled with the fact that he had been on the throne for a long time, there was naturally a dignity in his gaze that looked down on the masses – even cultivators would not dare to meet his gaze.
However, Su Zimo had a calm expression and met the emperor's gaze without any intention of avoiding!
Prior to this, Su Zimo might have been a little guilty.
However, in the past three years, Su Zimo's reputation in the capital of Great Zhou with the name of Mo Ling had grown and accumulated his influence.
Coupled with the fact that Su Zimo was someone with a sharp edge to begin with, the emperor's dignity could not suppress him!
