SFS Chapter 253: The Royal Family
Chapter 253: The Royal Family
Central Continent, Zuhuang Imperial Palace.
A middle-aged man in a black python robe sat next to the empress. He held his breath and dared not make any sound, for fear of being noticed by the furious empress.
The empress looked at the scroll in her hand, and the next moment the scroll was picked up by an invisible airflow and fell to the feet of the young man kneeling in the hall.
"You are full of youthful vigor."
After throwing the scroll, the empress's voice did not express any emotion, and there was no anger on her face. Instead, she looked calm and peaceful. She even smiled a little after seeing Chi Yuan.
"Do you think you are Ji Wantang's opponent in the imperial election, or do you think the royal family is still in the same position as before?"
Chi Yuan picked up the scroll from the ground: "If it was before, I would be willing to be Ji Wantang's concubine for the sake of the royal family, but mother, I don't want to do that now."
The Queen snorted, and ignored why he said that or why he had that attitude. She only looked at the woman beside her: "Fanyin, what do you think of Ji Wantang's recent situation?"
"Reporting to your majesty, Ji Wantang was severely injured in the soul world. I am afraid he will need to recuperate for a year or two before he can fight again."
The Queen frowned slightly. "How could someone in the Spirit World beat Ji Wantang like this? Could it be that the genius from the upper realm took action?"
Those geniuses from the upper realm pride themselves on their extraordinary abilities and are always disdainful of fighting with cultivators from the lower realm.
The Queen quickly ruled out the possibility that someone from the upper realm had done the deed. The old monsters with higher cultivation were restrained by their opponents and could not attack cultivators with lower cultivation than themselves.
In this case, Ji Wantang should be invincible among people of the same level.
The empress thought of the news reported by Tianhuang Continent a few days ago, and her eyebrows moved. "The people of Zulong Continent are itching to touch Zuhuang again."
She held the phoenix wood beads in her hand and said coldly: "The Zulong Continent is really ambitious."
"In a few years, the planes will overlap again, and the top geniuses from the planes will collide sooner or later." Chi Ling said, "Logically speaking, they will never cause trouble at this time. Besides, over on the Zulong Continent, even Cao Yunlong, who is currently the number one Yuanying stage, does not have the ability to beat Ji Wantang until his soul returns to his body."
Looking at it this way, there is no possibility that the Zulong Continent will attack Ji Wantang, and it is even less likely that anyone from the other top planes will attack Ji Wantang.
Fanyin interrupted the two and said, "It wasn't the battle that caused Ji Wantang's soul to be severely damaged, but the backlash of the Blue Duckling inheritance."
The royal family of the Zuhuang Empire also knew about the long-renowned blue duck heritage, so as soon as Fanyin opened his mouth, the two of them understood.
The Queen and Prince Chi Ling looked at each other, both with serious expressions in their eyes.
Chi Ling even questioned directly, "Can't Ji Wantang get the approval of the Blue Duckling?"
Although the royal family is wary of Ji Wantang and the power behind her, it is undeniable that Ji Wantang is the most gifted and gifted girl in the Zuhuang Continent in the past ten thousand years.
"But I heard that the Blue Duckling inheritance has been taken away."
Fanyin smiled bitterly: "This is the problem. No one knows who took away the inheritance that Ji Wantang didn't even get. I have given your Majesty the list of people who entered the Blue Duckling Cemetery. Your Majesty, would you like to take a closer look?"
What she actually wanted to say was, since Ji Wantang did not obtain this inheritance, does it mean that there is someone in this group of people who is more talented than Ji Wantang?
If this person could be brought into the royal family, why would the royal family worry about its rapid decline after the imperial election?
The queen immediately understood what Fanyin meant and looked at Chi Ling.
Chi Ling could see that the Queen was moved.
He had to speak up: "Royal sister, since Ji Wantang came out of nowhere, we have not found many opponents for her. Which one of them was not invincible in the same level?"
However, for every genius, after seeing Ji Wantang again, the best outcome is to keep their life.
Too many failures have made the royal family realize that this is the only outcome of the imperial election.
The queen glanced at Fanyin, then looked at her beloved son who had been kneeling on the ground for a while. After a moment of silence, she said, "Tell me why you don't want to be Ji Wantang's concubine now? If you want to be Ji Wantang's principal husband, I can also fight for it for you."
Chi Yuan lowered his head: "My son has a girl he likes."
The Queen tightened her grip on Wutong Mu's hand slightly, and for the first time, there was a hint of anger on her face.
When Fanyin heard this, he couldn't help but look at the empress's favorite son a few more times and shook his head: "Your Highness is still too young."
Chi Ling looked at the nose with his eyes and the heart with his nose, and didn't want to get involved in this mess at all.
Suddenly, there was a movement from his Tiantong Mirror. Chi Ling opened the Tiantong Mirror and frowned.
"What's wrong?" The queen didn't want to pay attention to her willful little son, so she simply let him kneel again and looked at Chi Ling.
"It seems something happened to Feifei." Chi Ling quickly glanced at the message sent by his daughter and stood up immediately: "Please forgive me, sister. I'm afraid I have to take people to the Northwest Continent."
The Queen was surprised and asked, "What happened?"
Chi Ling directly showed the Tiantong Mirror to the Queen.
The Queen took a quick glance and the news above was probably informing the Chiling Huang Medicine Sect that evil magic had appeared and that there was a demon who was close to the tribulation period and evil thoughts from another world in the Huang Medicine Sect.
"Feifei, this girl..."
"This is not a message from my daughter." Chi Ling knew his daughter too well: "Someone took her Tiantong Mirror and sent it, or someone taught her to send it. Feifei doesn't speak so clearly."
However, the soul mark he placed on his daughter did not fluctuate, so Yun Fei seemed to be safe now.
However, when he thought about his daughter being next to a demon who had evil thoughts from another world and was close to the tribulation period, Chi Ling broke out in a cold sweat.
If my wife, who protects me for what I have done, knew about this, she would go to the underworld and split me in half!
The Queen became interested after hearing this: "Since the Phoenix Medicine Sect is in this situation...Royal brother, take more people and go quietly, don't alarm anyone, contact the little princess first, if the news is true, it will be a great achievement for the one who sent the news to the royal family, if it is not true, bring the little princess back and deal with this person directly."
Chi Ling received the order and was about to leave, but was stopped by the Queen. The next moment, Chi Yuan was thrown over by the Queen.
"Take this evil creature with you and do this together. I feel upset when I see him now."
Chi Ling took Chi Yuan, the uncle and nephew looked at each other, and when they left the imperial palace, Chi Yuan started complaining.
"Uncle, you don't even help me order. You're such a coward."
Chi Ling glared at him and said, "You still want me to help you, but now I can't even protect myself!"
Chi Yuan snorted: "But the Queen Mother didn't say anything to me. I think she promised not to tie me and Ji Wantang together."
Chi Ling sighed: "After all, your mother is not satisfied with Ji Wantang."
To be honest, he was also dissatisfied with Ji Wantang.
The reason for dissatisfaction is not that Ji Wantang is not good enough.
He is just too outstanding, so outstanding that he has no human empathy. He doesn't seem like a human being, but more like a machine controlled by strength and luck.
