Words:978Update:22/06/26 09:16:33
Heaven City was the holy land in the hearts of all the citizens of Black Tortoise Country. It controlled the fate of the entire country. As the governor of Heaven City, the Xia family was like a deity to the people.
It was said that Master Xia had already reached the rank of a Martial Emperor. Within the four countries, a Martial General could be regarded as a strong cultivator. Once a Martial King reached the rank of a Martial King, he would receive a fief and become a Prince. One could only imagine the prestige of a Martial Emperor in the eyes of the world.
At this moment, the Xia Family was in a state of chaos. The reason was none other than the Young Master of the Xia Family, who had suddenly contracted a strange illness, had relapsed. Sorrowful wails echoed throughout the Xia Family's courtyard, causing the entire Xia Family to be shrouded in dark clouds. Master Xia was heartbroken and seemed to have aged many years in an instant.
However, just as everyone was worried about the Young Master's illness, only the Second Master of the Xia Family, Xia Qi, appeared to be rejoicing in his misfortune.
"Hmph! Xia Zixi, you're already so sick, living is a form of suffering. Why don't you just die! You'll only waste the Xia Family's energy! " Xia Qi listened to the endless wails in the courtyard, his face flushed with excitement. It was as if, to him, the more Xia Zixi was tortured, the more excited he became!
Suddenly, a guard hurried in and knelt down on one knee. He said respectfully, "Second Master, the Third Prince of Black Tortoise Country is outside Heaven City and requests an audience."
"The Third Prince of Black Tortoise Country?"
Xia Qi frowned and replied impatiently, "I won't see him!"
"But Second Master, he says he has news of Gu Ruoyun."
Gu Ruoyun?
Xia Qi's eyes turned cold and a dark glint flashed across his eyes. He fell silent and after a while, he said, "Take this token and bring the Third Prince here. Remember, it must be done in secret, do not let anyone see!"
"Yes, Second Master."
After saying these words, the guard retreated.
Xia Qi narrowed his eyes as he watched the guard disappear and sneered, "Xia Linyu, it seems that I've found Gu Ruoyun before you did! Don't worry, when I've killed her, I'll push the blame onto your head. When that happens, that useless father of yours will surely die! After he dies, it'll be your turn, you little brat! And you, my dear father, do you not love this pair of father and son? Then I'll let you have a taste of the pain of losing your children before you send them off! I'll also make you regret not handing over the Xia Family to me! "
He had done so much because he was forced to! If Father had appointed him as the Master of the Xia Family from the very beginning, how could there have been so many problems? If it wasn't for that, he would definitely be in love with his big brother.
At this moment, a guard brought in the black-robed Pang Fei. Upon seeing Xia Qi seated on a chair, Pang Fei bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Master Xia."
"You know where Gu Ruoyun is?" Xia Qi retracted his sinister expression and looked down at the man in black robes. He smiled gently, as if he was bathing in the spring breeze.
It had always been easy for him to restrain his emotions in front of others. It was all for the sake of his reputation.
Plop!
Suddenly, Pang Fei fell to his knees. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he wailed, "Young Master Xia, you must uphold justice for the Imperial Family of Black Tortoise Country! My Imperial Concubine mother and uncle were loyal and devoted to the Imperial Family and the Xia Family. However, Her Imperial Majesty the Empress was filled with wild ambitions. She had long since plotted to help that good-for-nothing Pang Ran seize the Imperial Family and break away from the Xia Family's control. Because my Imperial Concubine mother found out about her plot, she did not hesitate to poison His Imperial Majesty and framed my Imperial Concubine mother! In the end, she even colluded with Gu Ruoyun of the Hundred Herb Hall. Her wild ambitions have long been known to all. Please, Young Master Xia, help the Imperial Family eradicate this malignant tumor! "
