Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 457 Meeting and Testing

“I didn’t expect these people to come.”

Tang Lian and the others lagged behind Xiao Se by one body length, making Xiao Se stand out, indicating that they had no intention of usurping the limelight.

However, Tang Lian was still a little surprised to see this situation.

After all, the protagonist of this night banquet is Xiao Se. Welcoming him back will naturally have a bad impact on King Bai and King Chi. The three-way balance of power is likely to be broken. Of course, a new three-way balance of power may also be formed, with Emperor Mingde retreating behind the scenes.

"It's the emperor's will. These people have no choice."

Ye Ruoyi remained calm, but she understood the ins and outs of this. These people might not want to get involved in the dispute between the princes, but Emperor Mingde would not allow it. What matters between emperors is the check and balance, and at this time, he would never let one family dominate.

"Perhaps the White King and the Red King will hate these people because of this."

Tang Lian spoke softly as he walked. Unlike Lei Wujie who was heartless, and unlike Hua Jin who was naive, he could discern some clues about the general situation.

"They might also hate us. After all, if we hadn't suddenly returned to Tianqi, they wouldn't have suffered this disaster. Being targeted by these two princes is not a good thing."

Ye Ruoyi replied as she walked.

Suddenly, she seemed to see an acquaintance, nodded slightly, thought for a moment, came to Xiao Se, and said softly: "My father is here too, I'll go over to say hello first, I'll be back later..."

Xiao Se nodded and paused slightly.

The seats were arranged according to the level of official rank. As the general of the central army, Ye Xiaoying's seat was very close to the front. Opposite him was the leader of the civil service lineage - the Grand Tutor.

"Let's go there together!"

"General Ye played a great role in our return to Tianqi. If it weren't for Xu Da and his loyal men, we might have died on the way back to Tianqi."

Ye Ruoyi's eyes moved slightly. Xiao Se's words seemed to be meant to be close to her, but she knew that Xu Da's people were not as helpful to Xiao Se in returning to Tianqi as she had imagined, and were of less help to those masters who came later who were above the Free and Easy Heaven Realm.

"The people my father sent didn't play such an important role."

Xiao Se looked at Ye Xiaoying. He naturally knew how much contribution Xu Da's soldiers had made. But there is a saying that goes, "A gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is worth more than its thought."

"It is not easy to help someone in need. Besides Xu Da, he also left his most precious daughter with me. If I were in his place, I would not be able to do what General Ye did."

Ye Ruoyi's pretty face blushed. Xiao Se's words were undoubtedly an affirmation of her role. However, there was one thing she had not yet told Xiao Se. The reason she stayed with Xiao Se was not because of her father.

She had her own ideals. When Zhao Shouyi saved her from the hands of death, she vowed in her heart to do something for the world with this unexpected life, so she finally chose Xiao Se.

"Xiao Se, you are right. If Miss Ye hadn't been with us along the way, our journey wouldn't have been so smooth."

"And that old bastard Mo Yi, even though he gave up in the end and cured you, I think Miss Ye contributed to this."

With a bleak smile, Lei Wujie's words were quite right. Regarding Mo Yi's action, the greatest credit went to Zhao Shouyi, and Ye Ruoyi was second. However, it was not denied that Ye Ruoyi still played a significant role in the process. There are no two identical leaves in the world, these were Zhao Shouyi's original words. Of course, these words may have played little role for Mo Yi. What happened afterwards was the fundamental reason for his decision to give up.

"I just wonder how that Taoist priest is doing now?"

Xiao Se shook his head slightly. Even Bai Xiaotang could not investigate Zhao Shouyi's current situation. He estimated that those people in Tianqi City who were in the Mysterious Realm of Divine Wandering were not aware of it either.

The heavenly calamity above the East China Sea blatantly displayed the power of Heaven. Under such might, even those in the Mysterious Realm of Divine Wandering were as small as ants.

"General Ye, long time no see."

Looking at the person in front of him, Xiao Se interrupted his wandering thoughts and greeted the other person.

"Not bad."

Ye Xiaoying stood up and laughed, then he patted Xiao Se's shoulder, felt the strength in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction.

"The immortal from the East Sea is indeed worthy of his reputation. I didn't expect that he could cure your illness."

Xiao Se just smiled without being arrogant.

"What the Taoist said is very right. This world is very big and there are many geniuses. There is always someone better than you. Back then, I was the most outstanding genius in Beili. But to him, this talent may not be worth mentioning."

"Besides, given the current situation, even if the injuries are healed and the realm is restored, I'm afraid it will be a drop in the bucket and will not change the overall situation."

Ye Xiaoying sighed. What Xiao Se said was all true. In front of the Shenyou Xuan Realm, his Xiaoyao Tian Realm was indeed not good enough.

"Don't give up. With your talent, I believe that the Divine Mysterious Realm won't be far away."

Tang Lian and the others greeted Ye Xiaoying one after another, but they were not very optimistic about Ye Xiaoying's words. Although the threshold for entering the realm of freedom and divine travel has been lowered a lot, it is still a huge gap. Without a great opportunity, it would be difficult to break through in a short period of time.

"The Taoist priest you are talking about should be the young man from Qingcheng Mountain, right?"

In fact, it was not only Ye Xiaoying who knew, many people present knew that Xiao Se and Zhao Shouyi were friends.

Xiao Se nodded.

"Have you ever considered asking him to come and help? I heard that he has entered a realm above the Divine Wandering Profound Realm. Judging from the current situation, there is a huge gap in combat power between the Half-Step Return to Truth and the Return to Truth Realm. If we can invite him, I guess the dirty things in Tianqi City will be solved by themselves."

Ye Xiaoying did not deliberately conceal his words. His bold voice buzzed and was heard by the people around him. The moment they heard it, they pricked up their ears, waiting for the answer.

Xiao Se frowned and looked at Ye Xiaoying. What did the other party mean by this? Zhao Shouyi had made enough noise in the East China Sea, and the other party should know some information. It's not about whether Zhao Shouyi is willing to help him, but whether he can come now?
Ye Ruoyi was also confused. What on earth was her father thinking? It was too inappropriate to say this in public.

"Dad, Brother Zhao is still helping Mr. Mo Yi! We came back this time thanks to Brother Zhao's help. If we trouble him for everything, wouldn't we seem so incompetent!!!"
