Filled with doubts, Xie Tian walked to the entrance of the Divine Palace before regaining his senses. Just as he was about to report to the Imperial Guard, he saw that the Imperial Guard had already bowed to him. The Imperial Guard smiled respectfully and flatteringly, "State Protector General, please!"
"Protector of the State?" Xie Tian's eyes narrowed.
"Lord Xie Tian, you still don't know. Today, His Majesty appointed you as a third-rank Protector of the State and a Divine Palace Wayfarer …"
Was he promoted? Xie Tian thought for a moment, bowed to the Imperial Guard, and stepped into the Divine Palace.
"Shenshao wants you to stay. What do you think?" Dark Blade trembled.
Xie Tian stopped and asked with a frown, "Dark Blade, did something happen?"
"No, I'm just curious."
"Curious …"
You're being too perfunctory. Thinking about the shocking things Dark Blade had done, Xie Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Is it worth your curiosity?
"Nothing. Just leave quietly. Staying is not good for anyone."
"Shenshao wants you to stay."
Xie Tian smiled and didn't reply to Dark Blade. At this moment, he was completely sure that Dark Blade was testing him.
Although he didn't know what Dark Blade was testing, he wasn't worried at all because he knew that Dark Blade wouldn't hurt him. He didn't say it because it wasn't time yet.
But more or less, Xie Tian was a little curious. What kind of thing, or what kind of change in him, could make Dark Blade so careful?
Outside the Divine Prison, Xie Tian was stopped.
"No one is allowed to enter without His Majesty's verbal order."
Xie Tian thought for a moment, then cupped his fists and said, "Lords, I want to ask about Lord Wu Shang …"
"No comment."
Unable to enter the Divine Prison, Xie Tian could only go back. Although he wanted to see Wu Shang, he didn't want to meet Shenshao.
Once they met, Shenshao would personally ask him to stay. He didn't want to refuse and couldn't bear to do so.
"So, you came to my home and prepared to leave without saying goodbye?"
The voice that rang in his ears contained a hint of mockery.
"I don't dare to disturb Your Majesty …"
"In this world, there is nothing you don't dare to do. We will wait for you in the Imperial Garden. pbx.m”
Xie Tian sighed inwardly and turned to the Imperial Garden. Not long after, he ran into Mo Shaocong.
"Haha, Evil … Oh, no, it's our Great Divine Dynasty's Guardian General!"
Mo Shaocong walked over with a smile and suddenly shouted with a stern expression, "Xie Tian, receive the decree!"
Xie Tian was stunned and quickly bowed: "Xie Tian accepts the decree."
"Today, there is Xie Tian from the Death Camp. He has outstanding achievements, raised the prestige of the country, saved Wu Shang, and averted the country's calamity.
"Xie Tian, thank you, Your Majesty …"
"Here is the Emperor's decree to bestow marriage to the Concubine!"
Xie Tian raised his head and looked at Mo Shaocong in disbelief.
At the same time, the news of Shenshao's marriage had spread throughout Tianqi City. The whole city was in a frenzy.
Not many people had seen Princess Shen Ji, but everyone knew that Princess Shen Ji was His Majesty's favorite princess.
But that was nothing. The most shocking thing was that in the three thousand years of the Shen Clan, no princess had ever been married!
When the Wu Clan found out about this, they were about to sneak out of Tianqi City.
"Bestowing marriage to a concubine, heh …" Wu Ling's face turned even paler. He sneered and said, "This is the true favor of the emperor. The first prince consort of the Divine Imperial Court in three thousand years …"
The members of the Wu Clan, who were already desperate, were on the verge of collapsing. Sometimes, they looked at Wu Ling with hatred in their eyes.
Such a person who was favored by the Emperor should have been very close to the Wu Clan. But in the end, the head of the Wu Clan lost everything. He couldn't even protect the clan land that he had been managing for generations.
"If you knew this would happen, why did you …"
The Martial Disciple said lightly and stepped forward.
"You, you …"
Wu Ling's face turned red. He stared at Wu Tu angrily but couldn't say a word.
How could he not regret it? In fact, he regretted it so much that he wanted to slit his own throat. However, he never expected that Xie Tian would be able to turn the tables in a way that no one could have imagined!
"It's not my fault. It's not my fault …"
It was as if he had seen the scene of the Wu Clan's ancestors roaring and questioning him after his death. Wu Ling's state of mind was suddenly lost and he retreated like a madman. He murmured in fear and finally spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
At the same time, the land of the Wang Clan, Xie Tian Clan, and the Wu Clan were also covered by an unprecedented gloomy cloud. The prestige of the top ten families was gone.
And the reason why the Lonely Spirit Granny threw Xie Tian out was also to grant him a marriage.
As the leader of the Empress's family, she knew the uniqueness of the Shen Clan better than anyone else. So she knew how important Shen Shao's marriage was.
"Great-grandmother, does Hong Yi still have hope …" Hong Ren struggled for a long time and asked bravely.
The Lonely Spirit Granny's face suddenly changed. She scolded, "How dare you!"
"Great-grandmother, Hong Ren knows she was wrong!"
"As the head of the family, can't you tell what's important and what's not?" The Lonely Spirit Granny still scolded. "In the three thousand years of the Jin dynasty, the Divine Emperor has never granted a marriage. Can't you see what His Majesty means?"
Hong Ren looked sad. "His Majesty is determined to let Xie Tian join the Shen Clan. Whoever tries to stop him will die. How can I not see it? But, but I can't accept it for Hong Yi … "
"I can't accept it either …" The Lonely Spirit Granny was regretful and painful. "If this marriage had been decided after the Exchange Conference, I would have died in peace."
"Great-grandmother, it's all my fault."
Hong Ren's heart ached. He used to think that Xie Tian didn't deserve Hong Yi, so he wanted to see how high Xie Tian could grow.
He saw it and was very happy. Because now, he even had to raise his head to see Xie Tian. But sadly, his hands couldn't reach Xie Tian.
But if he knew what was happening in the Imperial Garden at this moment, he might be happy.
"Your Majesty, I can't agree to this marriage."
As soon as he said this, the Imperial Garden was terrifyingly quiet. Even Dark Blade couldn't help but worry for Xie Tian.
"You hesitated in the Hong family and refused to hurt Hong Yi's heart. But now, why did you reject the number one person in the Nine States so decisively?"
Shenshao wasn't surprised, but Xie Tian's words more or less hurt his heart.
He could find many reasons for Xie Tian to refuse the marriage. For example, he knew Yin Tian 'er, he knew You Xiao Chan, and he also knew that the person who could be accepted by Xie Tian had to walk into Xie Tian's heart.
He also understood that although Xie Tian thought his daughter was cute, it was too shallow. It was so shallow that if it weren't for him, Xie Tian would treat Shen Ji as a stranger.
So, at this moment, Shenshao couldn't even find any reason to persuade Xie Tian.
"You hurt my heart, Xie Tian …" After a long silence, Shenshao sighed with mixed feelings.
Xie Tian was very guilty. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
"You didn't let me down. I'm the one who let you down."
"Your Majesty, I know very well how you treat me." Xie Tian's expression turned serious. "Even if you want me to die, I won't frown …"
"I know." Shenshao smiled with relief. Then, he muttered in a self-mocking manner, "At this moment, I actually thought of Zhao Ye. He's a mortal, right?"
Xie Tian nodded silently.
"It's rare for a mortal to catch my eye. What's even rarer is that I actually wanted to kill him …"
Xie Tian was puzzled.
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have a bad impression of all the emperors in the world, or those who are about to become emperors, because of him." Shenshao smiled mischievously. "Of course, I'm an exception."
Xie Tian understood. He thought for a while and half-knelt. "I want to bid farewell to Your Majesty."
Shenshao nodded and sighed. "You finally said that."
"It's good for everyone when I leave."
"But it's not good for you." Shenshao looked at Xie Tian with a complicated expression. "For me, you completely offended the cultivation world of the Nine States. You don't even dare to return to Wanzhou. You can only go to the Endless North Sea or the Southern Region of Chuliu, right?"
Xie Tian grinned. "I don't care."
"Yes, you don't care because no one can kill you. More importantly, one day, you will kill your way back and wipe out all the hatred …"
Xie Tian felt a little emotional.
Because Shenshao really understood him.
"But I can't bear to." Shenshao smiled and sighed. "You've done enough for me, so I want to do something for you."
"Your Majesty, I …"
"This is the last wish of a dying man. Are you going to refuse it?" Shenshao looked at Xie Tian and smiled gently.
As soon as these words came out, Xie Tian was scared out of his wits.
