Shen Luo sighed and said, "I just don't want the Green Hill Kingdom to be sacrificed because of other people's schemes."
Elder Li's expression softened when he heard that.
"Mi Su, take them back to see your grandmother. You can only take them to see the king after she agrees …" Elder Li said.
"Okay," Mi Su replied.
With that, she pulled Shen Luo and the other two and quickly entered the city gate.
Elder Li's expression became more and more solemn as he watched them leave.
Shen Luo and the other two walked into the city and found that the houses in the city were similar to human cities, but the style of the houses was slightly different. There were many more round octagonal roofs, and the distribution was more casual. There was no square plan.
However, because the terrain was not completely flat, there were many differences in height between the houses, which made them look disorderly and picturesque.
"Mi Su, who is your grandmother? She sounds very powerful?" Shen Luo asked.
Mi Su led the way and said without looking back, "She is the grand elder of the Green Hill Fox Clan. Don't you think she's powerful?"
Shen Luo heard that and a name immediately appeared in his mind, "Schemer Su."
"Your grandmother is Schemer Su?" He could not help but ask.
"Yes, do you know my grandmother?" Mi Su said in surprise.
Shen Luo nodded. Of course he knew. Before coming to the Green Hill Kingdom, he had done some homework.
Schemer Su was the grand elder of the Green Hill Fox Clan. Not only was her cultivation high, but she was also a mid-stage Grand Unity cultivator. She had also led the Green Hill Fox Clan to thwart the schemes of the enemy forces many times. Her prestige in the Green Hill Fox Clan was extremely high, no less than that of the king of the Green Hill Kingdom.
However, it was said that this grand elder had hidden her identity in her early years and traveled the world. She had also made friends with humans, but she was betrayed in the process of exploring a secret realm and was heavily injured by her friend.
Later, she was lucky enough to survive. After escaping, she slaughtered her friend's entire family and was hunted down by human cultivators because of that.
It was also because of this experience that she was extremely prejudiced against the Human Race. She was also extremely wary of the Immortals and Demons, even to the point of being hostile.
Mi Su did not know what Shen Luo was thinking. She led the two of them through the city, all the way to the highest area in the depths of the valley.
The imperial city of the Kingdom of Green Hill was not large to begin with, and the palace only took up a very small area. The residences of the First Elder and other important elders were also scattered around the palace.
Mi Su was very happy when she returned home. She even skipped along the way. However, when she reached the gate, she became nervous and hesitated to move forward.
"What's wrong? How long has it been since you left home? You're already feeling homesick?" Hu Bugui teased.
"It's true that I'm scared, but I'm not scared of my hometown. I'm scared of my grandmother. She usually treats me well, but this time I secretly left the Green Mountains and encountered such a big trouble. I'm afraid she won't let me go easily." Mi Su hesitated.
"It's okay. We'll accompany you. She can't do anything in front of outsiders." Shen Luo smiled.
"That's true."
After Mi Su heard this, she felt that it made sense and relaxed a little.
She took a deep breath to encourage herself and walked to the gate first.
Before she reached the gate, a hunchbacked elder walked out. When he saw Mi Su, he was pleasantly surprised.
"Miss, you're back?"
"Uncle Qi," Mi Su immediately called out.
"Oh, you're finally back. If you didn't come back, the First Elder would have gone to Chang 'an City personally to ask for you," Uncle Qi said quickly with a smile.
After saying that, he also noticed the two people behind Mi Su and cast a puzzled look at them.
"These two are Brother Shen and Brother Hu. They escorted me back. Brother Shen, Brother Hu, this is Uncle Qi. He took care of me since I was young. "Mi Su quickly introduced them to each other.
Hearing this, Shen Luo and Hu Bu Gui bowed to the old man.
The latter frowned slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he also bowed to them.
"Uncle Qi, where's my grandmother? Is she in the study or …?" Mi Su asked as she walked into the courtyard.
Uncle Qi said, "The First Elder isn't at home. He was invited to the palace by the monarch early in the morning. He probably won't be back until noon."
"Not at home?" Mi Su was stunned.
"Then let's go directly to the palace," Shen Luo said immediately.
"Okay," Mi Su said without hesitation.
Seventh Uncle frowned when he heard this, and he looked at Shen Luo with a doubtful expression.
He didn't understand what this person did and why his Miss would listen to him.
"Miss, why don't we wait for the First Elder to come back? It's not appropriate for you to bring two outsiders to the palace." Uncle Qi said after some consideration.
"It's okay, Uncle Qi," Mi Su said indifferently.
Shen Luo didn't explain anything to him and turned to leave.
After a while, the three of them arrived outside the palace again.
Although the palace of the Green Hill Kingdom was called a palace, it was more like a large castle built on a mountain.
Outside the city gate, the three of them were stopped again. This time, they couldn't enter with Mi Su's identity.
"I'm from Chang 'an City of the Tang Empire and I'm here to see the monarch of the Green Hill Kingdom." Shen Luo reported his identity and handed over the token of the Tang Empire government.
"Someone from the Great Tang government …" The middle-aged guard in armor, who was the leader, saw the token in Shen Luo's hand clearly, and his expression immediately changed.
"Surround them."
At his command, all the guards immediately drew their weapons and surrounded the three of them.
"What are you doing? We're here to meet the king. Furthermore, I'm a member of the Green Hill Fox Clan. "Mi Su hurriedly shouted.
As she spoke, she also released her Dharmic powers, making her pointy ears even more prominent. The fox tail behind her also appeared.
"Hmph, are you a traitor to be with the Tang Empire government?" The middle-aged guard shouted angrily.
"My grandmother is …"
Mi Su was fuming. Just as she was about to reveal her identity, Shen Luo stopped her.
"Since you don't believe us, we're willing to surrender. Please take us to see the monarch of the Green Hill Kingdom." Shen Luo extended his hands and said.
Seeing that he didn't have any intention to resist, the middle-aged guard took out a special green vine and tied the hands of the three of them before escorting them into the castle.
After passing through three courtyards, the group stopped in front of a domed hall.
After the middle-aged guard asked the others to keep an eye on the three of them, he went into the hall to pass the message.
After a while, he ran over with a pale face and wanted to untie Shen Luo and the other two.
"Don't move. Just tie them up. It's fine."
Mi Su glared at him and pulled her hands back. She didn't want to be untied and walked into the hall with Shen Luo.
