Upon hearing this, everyone's expression became extremely interesting.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Countless gazes landed on Su Zimo.
Everyone in the Su residence was naturally dumbfounded. Everyone could tell that the lady before them was of noble status and had a great background. It was highly possible that she was a member of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
What made everyone in the Su residence even more surprised was that from the tone of this lady, she seemed to be very close to their second young master.
Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators behind the lady were also looking at Su Zimo. Their eyes revealed a hint of jealousy and envy.
The golden-armored commander's gaze was even more direct with a hint of provocation.
Yao Xue rode on her flying sword and landed on the ground. She looked at the stunned Su Zimo and pursed her lips, smiling. "Why? Don't you recognize me?"
"You?"
Su Zimo recovered from his shock and smiled as well. He asked, "Aren't you a disciple of Azure Frost Sect?"
"Yes."
Yao Xue nodded. She paused for a while and continued, "However, I am also a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. My surname is Ji. I met you by chance that day and I hid something from you. You won't blame me, right? "
Su Zimo smiled and shook his head.
The surname Ji was not common. If Ji Yaoxue had said this surname that day, Su Zimo would most likely have guessed her background.
However, now that he thought about it, there were some clues that could be found.
Ji Yaoxue was very clear about the background of Sky Treasure Pavilion. Moreover, she casually gave Su Zimo a Sky Treasure Gold Badge. Such generosity was not something that an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator could do.
"Old friend, aren't you going to treat me to a cup of tea?" Ji Yaoxue tilted her head and blinked as she asked.
"Alright, let's go to my place."
Su Zimo nodded at Su Hong, indicating for him not to worry. He then brought Ji Yaoxue to his residence. The golden-armored commander brought a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators and followed closely behind. They seemed to be worried that the two of them would be alone.
In the courtyard, Su Zimo and Yao Xue sat at a round table. There were two cups of fragrant tea on the table. The golden-armored commander and the rest were standing behind Yao Xue.
The golden-armored commander looked at Su Zimo with obvious hostility.
Su Zimo had long noticed this, but he didn't care.
"Yaoxue, how did you …"
"How dare you!"
Su Zimo was full of doubts. Just as he opened his mouth to ask, he was interrupted by a shout from the golden-armored commander.
"The Princess's name is not for a mortal like you to say!" The golden-armored commander sneered and looked at Su Zimo with eyes full of contempt.
"Dai Xu!"
Before Su Zimo could say anything, Ji Yaoxue raised her brows and said in a deep voice, "What Zimo calls me has nothing to do with you. This has nothing to do with you. Go out and wait."
"Third Princess, the King has ordered me to ensure your safety. I cannot leave." Dai Xu bowed slightly and cupped his fists.
"Then shut up!" Ji Yaoxue glared at Dai Xu and gave him a warning.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Dai Xu's expression was ugly. He glared fiercely at Su Zimo and agreed.
Su Zimo's expression was calm. He ignored Dai Xu's provocation and didn't even look at him.
Ji Yaoxue smiled apologetically at Su Zimo and said, "A few days ago, a secret order from Sky Treasure Pavilion was sent to the dynasty. I happened to see it then. From the description in the secret order, I guessed that you were the one who killed the King of Yan. Hence, I begged my father to write an imperial edict and brought people over. "
Although Ji Yaoxue didn't mention some things, Su Zimo could guess. Before this, the background of the Su Family had probably been thoroughly investigated.
"Zimo, are you satisfied with this arrangement?" Ji Yaoxue asked with a smile.
"Pretty good." Su Zimo nodded.
With this imperial edict, not only would Su Hong be conferred the title of King without shedding any blood, the surrounding vassal states would also not dare to invade the borders of the Great Yan.
This favor could not be said to be small.
However, there were some things that Su Zimo wouldn't talk about. Instead, he would remember them in his heart.
"Why did you bring so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators over?" Su Zimo asked again.
Ji Yaoxue frowned slightly and said, "After I returned to the sect, I investigated the Joyful Clan. I found out that the cultivators of the Joyful Clan were evil. They often raped women and used their Yin to supplement their Yang to increase their cultivation. Hence, I wanted to bring people to eradicate this clan. But … "
Ji Yaoxue paused for a moment. There was a flash of confusion in her eyes.
"But what?" Su Zimo vaguely guessed the reason and asked without batting an eyelid.
Ji Yaoxue continued, "But I found out that more than a hundred Joyful Clan cultivators had died in Cang Lang Mountain Range. Moreover, there were obvious traces of a fight. It's as if they were chasing after someone, but got killed instead. "
At this point, Ji Yaoxue suddenly raised her head and looked at Su Zimo.
Back then, the Joyful Clan cultivators had caused quite a commotion when they were chasing after Su Zimo. Many people in the capital of the Country of Yan had seen it.
"Oh?" Su Zimo was slightly surprised. His expression was just right.
Ji Yaoxue thought to herself, "Although Zimo is quite capable and his close combat skills are strong, he definitely does not have the ability to kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. It should not be him. It should be someone else."
After pondering for a while, Ji Yaoxue's eyes flashed with palpitations. She continued, "The scariest thing is that when we rushed to the location of the Joyful Clan, we found that the entire clan had been reduced to ruins. Corpses and bones were everywhere. No one was left alive!"
"Ah?"
This time, Su Zimo was shocked.
Although Su Zimo had killed more than a hundred Joyful Clan cultivators, this clan was still around. If there was a chance, the Joyful Clan would definitely come for revenge.
Ten days had passed and there was still no news from the Joyful Clan. Su Zimo still felt uneasy.
He did not expect that this clan had already vanished into thin air.
"The strength of the person who attacked far exceeded that of the Joyful Clan cultivators. It seemed that in just a moment, all the cultivators of this clan were dead! This person and the person in Cang Lang Mountain Range are definitely not the same person, "Ji Yaoxue said.
A figure in a blood-red robe flashed across Su Zimo's mind. It was a cold and beautiful face.
According to what Ji Yaoxue said, Su Zimo could not think of a second person who had such capabilities and would do such a thing.
Before Die Yue left, she must have been worried that the Joyful Clan would take revenge on him. That was why she took drastic measures and wiped out a clan directly to remove his worries!
However, Su Zimo would definitely not say this out loud.
Ji Yaoxue heaved a long sigh. She smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Apart from appointing a new King for the Country of Yan, I actually have another matter to look for you."
"What is it?" Su Zimo asked.
Ji Yaoxue took out a fist-sized stone from her storage bag and placed it on the round table. She smiled and asked, "Zimo, guess what this is?"
Spirit stone?
It did not seem like it.
Su Zimo shook his head.
"This is a Spirit Testing Stone. It can test whether a person has a spirit root or not. It can also test the grade of the spirit root."
Ji Yaoxue explained, "Zimo, with your capabilities, if you have a spirit root, even if it is the most ordinary one, your future achievements will not be too low."
"Moreover, the clan has already promised me that I can bring someone with a spirit root into the clan. Even if it is the most ordinary pseudo spirit root, it is fine. Zimo, quickly try it. "
