"All of you can leave as well."
After Ji Yaoxue and her sister left the Rain Admiration Pavilion, the emperor waved his hand.
Bald Vulture, Bai Yuhan and the Imperial Army guards bowed and left as well, leaving only the emperor and Su Zimo in the pavilion.
"Aren't you unable to cultivate because you don't have a spirit root?"
"There were some opportunities that happened by accident."
"Who taught you those skills?"
"I'm a disciple of Misty Peak."
"Misty Peak. Very good. That's rare."
The emperor nodded.
Although Misty Peak was one of the five major sects, there were almost no amazing disciples in terms of weapon refinement.
If Su Zimo had not admitted it personally, the emperor would not have thought that the number one Weapon Refinement Master of Great Zhou was from Misty Peak!
"Su Zimo, Mo Ling. Fufu."
The emperor laughed and said in a self-deprecating manner, "To think that the cripple in my heart would be able to stir up so much trouble right under my nose and achieve such great accomplishments."
To be fair, Su Zimo's current reputation in the capital was partly due to his own capabilities in weapon refinement. However, half of it was due to the emperor as well!
In fact, Su Zimo's true fame only spread after the emperor's announcement.
At that moment, Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop trampled on True Fire Weapon Workshop completely.
Furthermore, all the cultivators in the capital knew that the emperor of Great Zhou was backing Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop. Anyone who dared to target Mo Ling would be challenging the emperor's authority!
After that, the reason why Su Zimo was able to leave unscathed after killing someone on the streets was also because he had the emperor's protection.
Therefore, the reason why the emperor wanted to kill Su Zimo was not only because he was enraged after learning the truth, but also because he felt like he was being used and deceived.
As the emperor, it was easy to imagine how enraged he was at the time when he was toyed with by a cripple in his heart!
However, no matter what, Su Zimo had saved both of his daughters.
The emperor's killing intent gradually dissipated as well. Instead, he felt a little emotional.
Under such pressure, this young man in his twenties was still able to maintain his composure, and even had a hint of a sharp counterattack. It was truly rare.
Throwing away his initial prejudices, the emperor admired Su Zimo.
However, behind this admiration, the emperor had more concerns.
On the one hand, he was worried that Su Zimo was too close to the two princesses and might have other plans.
On the other hand, looking at Xue 'Er and Yan' Er's expressions, they seemed to have a good impression of Su Zimo. How should he choose …
He couldn't possibly give both of them to this brat as Dao companions. How could there be such a good thing in this world?
The emperor asked, "What happened in Chiyu City back then? Who were the six people who attacked Yan 'er?"
"I don't know."
Su Zimo shook his head and said, "At that time, I happened to come across her by chance, so I saved Ji Yao … Miss Ji."
Since Demoness Ji chose to hide it, Su Zimo naturally could not reveal the truth.
The emperor nodded and asked in a seemingly casual manner, "There are no outsiders here. Tell me, how do you feel about Xue 'Er and Yan' Er?"
Su Zimo replied, "The third princess has helped me and the Su family before. I view her as a benefactor and a close friend. As for the little princess … I'm not familiar with her either. We've only met by chance. "
One was a close friend and the other was not?
The emperor could sense that Su Zimo was speaking the truth.
In other words, his two initial concerns were gone.
Instead, Su Zimo's attitude made the emperor indignant.
Both of his daughters were beautiful and of noble birth – how could they not be compatible with Su Zimo? Yet, he had no other intentions?
"Your Majesty, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," Su Zimo cupped his fists.
The emperor pondered for a moment and said slowly, "The plan of inviting you to be the judge for the weapon refinement segment for the sect competition remains unchanged."
That statement meant that the emperor was no longer prejudiced against Su Zimo and tacitly acknowledged all of his achievements!
Su Zimo nodded and bade farewell.
Looking at Su Zimo's departing back view, the emperor smiled gently and lamented, "Thankfully, Misty Peak has produced someone like him who can win back some points in weapon refinement. Otherwise, Misty Peak would have been utterly humiliated in this sect competition."
Pausing for a moment, the emperor shook his head and muttered to himself, "Speaking of which, apart from weapon refinement, Misty Peak is no longer able to fight for the other three rankings."
…
"Yan 'Er, what's going on in Chiyu City? How did Zimo save your life? Tell me."
Outside the Rain Admiration Pavilion, Ji Yaoxue asked curiously.
Blinking, she looked around and pulled Ji Yaoxue to a corner. Seeing that there was no one around, she whispered, "Sister, I made that up. I don't know any Young Master Su at all."
"Ah?" Ji Yaoxue was stunned.
She covered her mouth and chuckled. "I only came to help you because I heard that father was enraged. Hehe, he couldn't tell at all."
"You!"
Ji Yaoxue tapped her fair and delicate forehead and smiled helplessly. "It's not only father. I took it seriously as well."
Pausing for a moment, Ji Yaoxue retracted her smile and sighed. "However, if you hadn't appeared, Zimo might have truly been doomed."
"This Su Zimo … is the man of your dreams, sister?" She blinked and asked.
Ji Yaoxue blushed and spat softly, "Don't spout nonsense."
"Hehe, he must be!"
"Lass, you're asking for a beating!"
As the two of them bickered, Su Zimo had already walked out of the Rain Admiration Pavilion and was heading over.
When he arrived, Su Zimo cupped his fists. "Thank you, princesses."
"Hey, Young Master Su, my name is Ji Yaoyan. Remember that I helped you before. You must thank me if you get the chance."
After saying that, she winked at Su Zimo with a bewitching smile while Ji Yaoxue was not paying attention.
Her smile was like a flower that could bewitch everyone!
Her eyes were like water that could steal souls!
Su Zimo closed his eyes hurriedly and gasped for air as he felt a surge of heat in his body.
This was the demoness of Pure Maiden Sect!
Ji Yaoxue was a little surprised as she glanced at Su Zimo before turning to look at Demoness Ji.
At that moment, Demoness Ji had already returned to normal. That bewitching smile and teasing gaze disappeared in a flash, as though it was just an illusion.
Demoness Ji waved goodbye.
Ji Yaoxue looked at her back view and said to Su Zimo, "You've really got to thank Yan 'er. She doesn't know you at all and made up a lie to deceive father."
"Yan 'er is inexperienced and pure. How would she know how to lie? It's really been hard on her this time round," Ji Yaoxue sighed softly once more.
Su Zimo was speechless and lamented internally, "If your sister doesn't know how to lie and is pure and kind, then everyone in this world is honest."
However, Su Zimo could not say those words out loud.
After all, he had promised Demoness Ji to help her hide her identity.
Furthermore, given the state of Ji Yaoxue and the emperor, even if Su Zimo told them that their sister and daughter were the demonesses of the fiend sects' Pure Maiden Sect, they would not believe him at all …
"What does your sister usually do?" Su Zimo asked in a seemingly casual manner.
Ji Yaoxue shook her head. "Yan 'er can't cultivate and has been learning business from Auntie Gu. Sometimes, she runs around."
Su Zimo did not know what sort of cultivation technique she was cultivating that concealed her cultivation realm and made her look like a mortal.
However, it was true that she did not have to kill personally for her lineage.
It was all about getting someone else to do the dirty work.
A single gaze was enough!
