All of a sudden …
Empress Mingjing raised her head and waved her hand at the corner of the tent.
A wave of ripples flashed.
Yanran took a few steps back, her face full of fear.
"Assassins! Kill them! "Empress Mingjing reacted quickly.
She stepped back quickly, allowing the four guards to take action.
Four middle-stage Path Masters. One could imagine how powerful they were.
Fortunately, Great Emperor Wangtian spoke in time. "Mingjing, it's me!"
Only then did Empress Mingjing notice that there were two men behind Yanran.
One of them was Great Emperor Wangtian.
"Brother Wangtian?" Empress Mingjing was pleasantly surprised. "Stop!"
The four middle-stage Path Masters stopped immediately.
She stepped forward and held Great Emperor Wangtian's hand. "Brother, I was so worried about you. I thought something bad had happened to you."
The two of them were not allies.
Instead, they were very close relatives.
This was extremely rare among the descendants of the Time Master.
The rest of the descendants of the Time Master all regarded each other as enemies.
How could they be compared to the deep affection of the two people in front of her?
Great Emperor Wangtian said in shame, "I was useless. I couldn't resist the enemy and ended up alone. Thanks to Miss Yanran's help, I was able to come here successfully."
Hearing this, Yanran frowned.
She had attacked him, protected him all the way, and escorted him here.
It was all Su Yu's credit.
She was just following Su Yu's instructions.
Why did Great Emperor Wangtian ignore Su Yu and put all the credit on her?
It was hard to understand.
Empress Mingjing immediately cupped her fists at Yanran and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving my life."
As she spoke, she looked at Su Yu, who was beside Yanran.
"This is …?" she asked Great Emperor Wangtian.
Great Emperor Wangtian said casually, "He is also the one who saved me."
The word "also" seriously weakened Su Yu's role.
However, it wasn't completely useless. It was hard to tell what was wrong.
"Oh, I see." Empress Mingjing nodded, mistakenly thinking that Su Yu was just Yanran's attendant.
Empress Mingjing said enthusiastically, "Now that the outside world is in a fierce battle, it's not easy to leave. Why don't you rest here for now and find a way to leave when the battle subsides?"
Su Yu nodded. "Of course, there's no problem."
The Sky-Gazing Monarch let out a long sigh of relief, feeling extremely relaxed.
"Lady Yanran, thank you for taking care of me along the way. Why don't I give you face and treat you to a meal alone?" Heavenly Emperor Gazing Sky was only grateful to Yanran.
Or perhaps he was extremely interested.
Yanran said bluntly, "Sorry, I want to rest."
The Heavenly Gazing Emperor was disappointed and said, "Alright, I will thank Lady Yanran when I have the time."
Under Empress Mingjing's arrangement, Su Yu and Yanran were taken away to rest.
Their guest rooms were not far from each other.
Not long after the arrangements were made, Yanran came to Su Yu's guest room.
"Senior, what should we do next? The number of experts by Empress Mingjing's side is beyond our expectations." Yanran could not help but feel apprehensive.
It wasn't just Empress Mingjing's cultivation.
The guards around him were all extraordinarily powerful.
It would be extremely difficult to make a move against him.
"Let's just wait and see," Su Yu said.
Yanran nodded.
After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Senior, Heavenly Emperor Gazing Sky doesn't seem to harbor any ill intentions towards me."
She wasn't stupid. How could she not sense that the Heavenly Emperor Gazing Sky's attitude towards her was very unusual?
Su Yu laughed involuntarily.
"You probably won his heart by saving the damsel in distress."
Yanran blushed and said, "You're so annoying. How dare you make fun of me, senior!"
"Inform me if you have any instructions for me. I will return to my room first." Yanran left in a hurry.
Her face was slightly flushed.
Unbeknownst to her, in a certain room, a crystal ball was placed in front of the Heavenly Emperor.
The scene from earlier was reflected in it.
The blushing expression on Yanran's face was clearly visible.
A hint of jealousy appeared on his face. "Is this what you meant by wanting to rest?"
She would rather stay in the room with Su Yu and do something shameful than have dinner with him alone?
Right at that moment, Empress Mingjing walked in.
"Brother Wangtian, I have something to discuss with you."
The Heavenly Emperor put away the crystal ball immediately and smiled. "What is it, Mingjing?"
Empress Mingjing frowned and said, "My people and resources can't be wasted forever. Sooner or later, they will be depleted. We need to plan ahead."
The Heavenly Emperor nodded. "I understand that."
Staying here was only a temporary measure.
Empress Mingjing hesitated. "May I ask, brother Wangtian, how did you pass through the many battlefields and come to this place?"
She hoped to leave the cave quietly with the help of the method they used to enter.
The Heavenly Emperor was very calm. He said, "It was the man named Su Yu. He has a strange spiritual pet that can conceal a person's scent and pass through the seal."
"Is it that magical?" Empress Mingjing said in surprise.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, I will discuss it with him and see if he can take us away quietly in the near future."
Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Emperor rolled his eyes.
"Why go through so much trouble? Can't we just take that spiritual pet? "The Heavenly Emperor said in a matter-of-fact manner.
Empress Mingjing shook her head and said, "We can't do that!"
"That Su Yu is one of your saviors, isn't he? Isn't it ungrateful to take someone else's belongings before repaying him? "
There was a reason why Empress Mingjing could gather a group of strong men around her.
Her broad-mindedness was the reason why those strong men were loyal to her.
The Heavenly Emperor said disapprovingly, "What kind of savior is he? Without him, I could have escaped, but it would have been slightly more difficult. "
What he said was true.
It was as if it was someone else who was filled with despair when the city fell.
Now, she was denying all of Su Yu's credit.
It was ridiculous and hateful.
"Is that so?" Empress Mingjing didn't understand the situation at the time and didn't quite understand.
However, she still shook her head firmly. "We are in a difficult situation now and need help. We can't take someone else's treasures and make an enemy out of them!"
"You don't have to worry about this. I will discuss it with that human. At most, we will give him more rewards. We are far from taking his belongings."
The Heavenly Emperor looked at the back of Empress Mingjing as she left and sighed. "Sigh, how softhearted!"
"When it is time to fight for the position of the master, one should be decisive," the Heavenly Emperor said calmly. "Since you don't want to be the bad guy, let me be the bad guy."
The next day.
The Heavenly Emperor came to invite Yanran and Su Yu to attend the welcoming banquet with great enthusiasm.
"Brother Su, thanks to you for taking care of me along the way, I was able to arrive here safely. I will pay my respects to you later. Please don't refuse my kindness."
Compared to the day before, his attitude had undergone a 180-degree change.
Who was Su Yu?
One could tell from a leaf that autumn was coming.
He immediately concluded that Su Yu had ulterior motives.
He secretly gave Yanran a look, and she understood tacitly.
