Begging?
The imperial Xiao Family.
When the imperial guard said this, the other imperial guards froze.
"Could it be ….."
Just as one of the guards was about to speak, the person next to him covered his mouth and spoke in a low voice with a sinister look on his face.
"Do you want to die?!"
The imperial guard gulped, then heard the other guards say, "Hurry up and notify the God Emperor.
"Hurry up and notify the God Emperor. Lady Providence and Emperor Xiao's affairs aren't something we can interfere with."
Royal City.
The imperial Xiao Family, a family that had existed since the beginning of the God Realm, was located in the western part of Royal City. Their manor occupied an area of a million acres, and their gates were extravagantly decorated. Two imposing statues of thunder lions stood in front of the gates.
The words "Xiao Family" written on their gilded signboard had been personally bestowed by the God Emperor. It was a place of boundless glory and splendor.
Boom!
A beautiful figure suddenly landed in front of his house. When she landed, she even shattered the tiles in front of his house.
"Who dares act so impudently in front of the Xiao Family?!"
The guards in front of the residence scolded them arrogantly. Although they were mere guards of the Xiao Family, even high officials and dignitaries had to be polite to them when they encountered them.
In ancient times, even a prime minister and a soldier of the central government were considered ninth-rank officials. They were imperial Xiao Family guards, so their status wasn't low either.
In the past, if they'd run into someone like this, it meant they'd earned some money.
As long as they scolded them a little and made things difficult for them, they'd easily rake in tens of thousands of shenbi.
But this time, they'd run into a tough opponent.
Dong.
The guard who'd just spoken sensed a wave of energy attack him. The guards were the face of the Xiao Family. Although they were arrogant, they still had some strength.
Xiao Chen dodged to the side, but the energy landed on the gate of the Xiao Family's mansion, smashing it into pieces.
"How dare you ….."
How dare you attack someone in the Xiao Family and destroy their gates? It seemed this person was tired of living.
At that moment, he felt someone tug at him. Then he saw his brothers kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, he finally saw the face of the person in front of the mansion.
Thud.
The domineering guard's knees buckled and he knelt to the ground.
"Greetings … Greetings Lady Providence … Greetings Lady Providence."
He really wanted to slap himself in the face a few times. Just who had given him the gall to speak to Lady Providence of the Profound Pavillion like that?
"Tell Xiao Yan to come see me."
Xuanji had important matters to attend to, so he couldn't be bothered to bicker with these people. Just as the guards were about to go look for Xiao Yan, he saw a youth carrying ancient tomes by Xiao Yan's side.
When he saw the guards kneeling on the ground and the broken gate, he frowned unhappily.
How could he, a guard of the Xiao Family, kneel to someone from the Profound Pavilion? Even if the God Emperor came, they would have to stand with their backs straight, much less a mere Xuan Ji.
As for the gate, it was the face of the Xiao family. If Xuan Ji destroyed it just like that, wasn't that a slap in the face to the Xiao family?
"Lady Xuan Ji, you really have quite the temper, but why did you come to the Xiao Family to vent your anger? What, does the Empress think that my Xiao Family is easy to bully? "
The former head of the Xiao Family, Xiao Ting, no longer cared about worldly affairs. Now that Xiao Yan was the head of the Xiao Family, he had to act tough.
"Xiao Yan, you've come just in time. I've come to ask you to do something for me."
Ask you to do it!
Her tone brooked no argument. She'd always done things this way. If she wanted someone to do something, that person had to do it. Even if the Xiao Family was an imperial clan, it was the same.
There was no way she was going to negotiate with them.
"Lady Providence, this isn't your Profound Pavilion. This is the Xiao Family, an imperial clan. Watch your words. "
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and snorted, refusing to budge an inch. "But it's rare for you to ask someone to do something for you. For the sake of the God Emperor, I'll give you some face. Then, please tell me what you'd like my Xiao Family to do!"
"Ask?"
Xuanji sneered, but she didn't explain.
"Your clan is currently undergoing divine tribulation, right? In that case, a girl named Xia Keke should be undergoing tribulation right now. I demand that you immediately wipe away her God Realm."
"Lady Providence, since when did my Xiao Family's tribulation become your concern? You've gone too far, haven't you?"
Xiao Yan smiled calmly in response. Although this was just an ordinary conversation, this was a contest of face between two factions.
If he replied weakly, he'd lose face for the Xiao Family.
"Wipe it away or not?" Xuan Ji narrowed her eyes.
Whoosh.
At that moment, the mustached man who'd appeared in the Profound Pavilion's main hall appeared as well. As soon as he landed, he sensed that something was wrong, and his heart began to pound wildly ….
He'd guessed right; the Empress really was going to cause trouble for the imperial clans.
In the end, Xuan Ji was still slightly superior in terms of aura. Xiao Yan had only recently become head of the Xiao Family. Compared to someone like Xuan Ji, who'd been famous for a long time, he was still a bit immature.
But how could he allow himself to be defeated in front of so many of his clansmen?
"Xuan Ji, if you're asking for help, you should look like you're asking for help. If you talk nicely, I can wipe away that person's divine tribulation for you. It's just divine tribulation; whether to wipe it away or not is up to us to decide. However, what I want is your attitude. "
Xiao Yan thought his words were very unyielding, but little did he know that his answer had already fallen into disarray.
"Ask for help? I couldn't be bothered to talk to you before, but I didn't think you'd be so insistent. I'm afraid you're overthinking things. Where did you get the idea that I'm asking for help? "
A faint smile surfaced on Xuan Ji's face as she spoke in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"I'm asking you to wipe it away, understand? Even if you don't want to, you have to wipe away this divine tribulation! "
"Impudent!" Xiao Yan, who'd been calm all this time, finally revealed his anger. "Xuan Ji, don't go too far! I'm giving you face, but don't push your luck! I'm telling you right now, you can't wipe away this divine tribulation! "
"Is that so?"
Xuan Ji shook her head disdainfully when she saw Xiao Yan's furious expression.
"It's such a pity that the position of head of the family was passed on to you. If your sister were here, she'd do ten thousand times better than you. I know you want to establish your authority in front of your clansmen, but bearing isn't determined by whose voice is louder. "
"Hmph, I don't need you to tell me that," snorted Xiao Yan.
"Of course I don't care about you. Even if someone has to discipline you, it should be the Lightning Emperor."
Xuan Ji smiled playfully, then took a step back. At this moment, there was a continuous stream of people flying through the air above the capital city, landing behind her.
In an instant, several hundred people from the Profound Pavilion who had come to inquire about her appeared behind her.
