Tit for tat
The woman who walked out from the void had beautiful eyebrows and hair, and her appearance was like a painting.
Her white clothes fluttered even though there was no wind. She seemed to be walking gracefully, but in the blink of an eye, she had arrived at the place where the lightning had fallen from a hundred meters away.
"Thank you for your help, Lady Benefactor."
The jade-like body of the Buddha glowed as the newcomer chuckled and said.
"Buddha, you're being too serious. The Glass Jade Body is the embodiment of a ruler. Even if I didn't come, the Heavenly Lightning wouldn't have done anything to you. "
He nodded slightly as if agreeing with the woman's words. At this moment, the woman also raised her head with a faint smile.
"However, some of the clans in the God World do need to be taught a lesson."
"Father, it's Lady Providence."
Outside the lightning pool, Xiao Yan was in a bad mood. He kept gulping. His nervousness and worry could be sensed from his expression.
Unbeknownst to them, Xiao Ting was also frowning. This woman's appearance meant the situation wasn't easy to handle.
Xiao Ting took a deep breath, then said to the lightning pool, "Don't worry.
"I didn't know Lady Providence was here. However, I'm currently experiencing tribulation lightning. Lady Providence, why did you erase my tribulation lightning? "
The sky rumbled, and the immortals in the outside world stood in a daze not far away.
God.
The person who had just spoken was an almighty being from the God Realm.
Furthermore, that expert had called that woman Lady Providence. Could it be that she was also from the God Realm?
Lady Providence chuckled. "Don't tell me you don't know why I wiped out your heavenly lightning?"
"I do not know."
"Hah ….." Even now, he was still being stubborn. Lady Providence laughed helplessly. "It seems you refuse to admit to your crimes."
"I really don't know what crime I have committed." Xiao Ting stared intently at the lightning pool and snorted. "It is my family's responsibility to control the tribulation lightning of all races. Now that someone has descended, I'm sending down heavenly lightning. What's wrong with that?"
"Then how many did you land?"
Here it comes.
Xiao Ting narrowed his eyes. Indeed, that woman had been there the entire time, but why hadn't he noticed her when the lightning fell?
This woman's status transcended the Six Realms, so it was quite vexing for her to have something on him here.
However, there was no need to worry. He already had an excuse in mind.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by that?"
"Eighty-one bolts of Heavenly Lightning Devours the Heart are the limit. However, after those eighty-one bolts of Heavenly Lightning, you sent another bolt of lightning down. That's going against Father God's will. It's already like this, and you still don't know your crime? "
"Your Highness must be joking." "Since the beginning of the God Realm, our Xiao Family has been in control of tribulation lightning. When the Goddess spoke of eighty-one bolts of tribulation lightning, that's only because she's seen a maximum of eighty-one. But our God Realm has a long history, and we have many capable people. "
"What are you trying to say?" asked Lady Providence, her expression unsightly.
"This monarch wants to tell the Goddess that eighty-one bolts of heavenly tribulation is not the limit. In fact, above this heavenly tribulation, there is another ninety-nine bolts of heavenly lightning. In the history of the God Race, there were many amazing people who survived this calamity. "
"Then why didn't I know?"
"I haven't crossed it yet, so how would Your Highness know?"
When she heard this, Lady Providence couldn't help but sneer.
That was a good excuse. No wonder Xiao Ting was known throughout the God Realm as a wily old fox. If any other emperor had seen her, they might've lost their composure for a moment, and their words might've slipped up.
But Xiao Ting had refused to admit to his crimes from the very beginning. His expression was relaxed, and his words were clear and logical.
In particular, that final line about 'dead men tell no tales' was the finishing touch to his preamble.
"Well said, 'dead men tell no tales'," said Lady Providence.
"Don't speak nonsense, Lady Providence. Since the beginning of the God Realm, my family has been in control of tribulation lightning. I know far more than you do. Heavenly lightning is a secret of my family. Now that you want to convict me, I have no choice but to tell you. However, I hope you can keep your mouth shut and don't spread this news. Otherwise, even ten thousand deaths won't be enough to atone for my crimes. "
"Well said." Lady Providence smiled calmly, then dropped the subject of the heavenly tribulation. "Then I'm curious," said she. "Why did your tribulation lightning fall on someone else?"
"You jest again, Lady Providence." Xiao Ting laughed calmly from within the lightning pool. "From start to finish, my heavenly lightning has only ever struck one place: the location of the person undergoing tribulation. Heavenly lightning has no eyes. Those bystanders entered the lightning's range and were struck by it. What could I do? Heavenly lightning is meant to temper the body of the person undergoing Divine Bestowal. They rashly resisted it, but I haven't even blamed them. Why are you blaming me? "
"Is that so?"
"Lady Providence, there's no need to be so arrogant and bossy with me. In truth, before the heavenly lightning fell, I sensed a spatial fluctuation. The person undergoing tribulation and that ignorant girl are both in your hands, aren't they? "
Everyone's gaze fell upon Lady Providence. Among them, Su Liu 'er's gaze was the most intense.
"Hah ….."
Lady Providence's lips curled into a smile. She didn't deny it. She waved her right hand, and two figures appeared in the air.
"Big Sister."
"Big Brother Zichen."
"Zichen."
At practically the same time, the onlookers cried out in alarm.
"You've noticed, but I've taken him away. Now that I've let him out, do you still want to send more lightning? "
"I wouldn't dare," said Xiao Ting calmly. "How could I dare overstep my authority and send lightning to someone you want to protect? Furthermore, this kid hasn't undergone tribulation yet, and his godhead has shattered. Even if he wakes up, he has no fate with the God Realm. Since he can't step into the God Realm, there's no need for me to pay attention to him. "
… …
Lady Providence's brows furrowed. Ye Zichen's godhead had actually shattered?
"Xiao Ting!"
"Lady Providence, why did you call me?" Xiao Ting's lips curved into a smile. "His godhead shattered can only mean that his will isn't strong enough. That has nothing to do with me. Also, you should be in the Profound Pavillion right now, so why have you appeared in the lower realms? What's more, why are you involved with a mortal? I'll report all of this to the God Emperor and have him decide. "
"Are you threatening me?"
"I wouldn't dare. I serve the God Emperor wholeheartedly. Everything I see and hear naturally has to be reported to the God Realm."
"Up to you."
Lady Providence didn't bother with him any longer.
Just now, she'd clearly sensed that Ye Zichen's aura had grown even more chaotic. She had to hurry up and treat his injuries.
As for Xiao Ting, she'd wait until she returned to the God Realm to make trouble for him.
It seemed like Xiao Ting had always been modest and courteous, but from the way he addressed her, it was clear that he didn't take her seriously at all.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Just as Xiao Ting was about to leave the Lightning Pool, Lady Providence suddenly spoke from the rear mountains.
